Exclamation Briefly. Made,

Harold Knutson, Republican whip of
the house, tells yarn about an old
fellow up in his country who has
job carrying the mail from the depot
to the postoffice, for, all of which he
gets 81 trip.
Some Of the boys around the gro
Gerry store the other night got to kid
ding the old chap about his job and,
eventually, they asked him how much
he made out Of it,.
Il make 81 a trip, three trips day,
S125 a month, or :S3,o0o*.a year." he
said.
These figures not sounding just
right, one of the boys sought to pin
him down on his calculations.
"How Go you make $4,000 a year?'
he asked
"A-carryin' the mail" responded the
carrier. and with those few words he

TO EXPLORE OCEANS DEPTHS
British Government Contemplating an
Expedition for the Gathering OF
Scientific Information.

The British government is contem-
plating the dispatch of deep-sea ex-
ploring expedition which is expected
to gather much valuable scientific in
formation.
Most people imagine that the depths
of the ocean have been pretty thor
oughly explored, but this is very far
from being true. AS matter of fact,
only very small fraction of the
whole area of deep sea bottom has
been surveyed. Attention is particu-
larly called to vast subaQueOus re-
giOn around the Falkland islands and
up as far as Montevideo, which is al
most unknown, and which, having
depth of less than 100 fathoms, may
offer opportunities for the development
Of lucrative fisheries.
The first deep-sea exploring expe-
dition, that of the famous Challenger,
was set on foot just so years ago.
The ship left port in 1872, and ideas
on the subject we're in those days so
primitive that there was dispute as
to whether she should use wire or
hempen rope for soundings. It took
whole day to make one sounding, or
single cast of the dredge for bring
ing up fishes and other animals.
Since then deep-sea sounding ap-
paratus has been much improved by
cable ships, and fishing gear has been
greatly modified by steam trawlers,
which use dredges. Besides, great
deal that Is Of value has been learned
by oceanographic expeditions subse-
Quent to that of the Challenger. Hence
the new exploring vessel will start out
with prospect of accomplishing a
very great deal of work Of real i'm.
pOrtance.

Four hours later little Nellie Bates
woke to find herself In wonderful
pink room, pinker than any room she
had ever imagined. A white-capped
nurse was standing by the bed in
which Nellie lay, and all around her
were flowers. The nurse smiled at
her as she opened her eyes, and tip
tOed from murmur of low voices out
side her door, and then Arthur Warren
came into the room, shut the door
softly behind him and came to the
bedside.
"Where am II" asked Nellie.

replied Arthur, "and you're going to
stay here till you get WE'LL"
Strange to say, neither Of them

Saturday Change.

Many storekeepers begin their Sat-
urdays by shopping in the neighbor-
hood for small change dimes, nickels,
and pennies. Seven customers out of
ten at the butchers, bakers and gro
GERS on Saturday pay for their pur-
chases with $40 and SIS bills. Not one
in twenty counts out the exact amount.
One storekeeper has found that $50

The Relief of Suffering

To the Editor of The Arizona Republi-
 can:
 The greatest man. business concern church or club is the one that gives the most in time and money to others Masonry teaches that ea2h day we should give eight hours to our usua work and eight hours to the service of our fellow man.
 Occasionally man is found who gives away each year as much as he spends on himself and family and there are some churches whose benevolent fund equals their overhead expenses; are there any clubs or business con- cerns that approach the Masonic standard?
 The teaching of the Patriarchs. 1 Moses and the Prophets is to give ono tenth, besides free will offerings; in the last chapter, but one in the old Testament, we read Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me in tithes and offerings Tithing is not giving, but paying God his taxes-Jesus in speaking of tithing said: This ought ye to have oone; God expects all 10 tithe; ricn and poor
 Bring ye all the tithes into the store house, and I will pour out blessing, that there shall not be room l to contain it"
 If we do not render unto God that which is his. we will find that he Is the most efficient tax collector in all | the world. There is so much human | suffering Tn this world, at all times. that might be relieved, if even America would remember that: Tt is more blessed to give than co receive" If we would only refrain from pie and cake until all had bread. Surely the first duty of every Phoe- nician, after proriding the necessities in his own home, is to help see that 1 there are no hungry or unattended sick in our midst.
 If the budget of the Maricopa county Welfare League is not raised, the re- lief work will have te be curtailed With this fact in mind, are we not al most inhuman if we cut down our ap- portionment? Let there be no un- necessary suffering in Phoenix Cordially,

The Elevation of Harry Blair

Blair, formerly secretary of the Y. M C. A.. will learn with of his proposed elevation, doubt a reward, though perhaps adequate for the service he performed of the disbursers of the republican national campaign fund from the Chi fago headquarters last summer and fall ast It will be recalled that MT Blair was summoned to testify before investigating committee ap- pointed at the instigation of lot of curious and foolish democrats who had been misled by the wild statements of Governor Cox concerning the magni- tude of the Republican campaign fund What was desired to be known the amount of the expendi- lures to date. the specific character of them, other details of the disbursement which it alleged not entirely for legitimate campaign expenses, but rather for the corruption the national eec- torate that part of it which, following its in- stincts for gold, would the demo- cratic ticket.
 The testimony of MT. Blair, it will recalled, distinguished for its lack subtlety, which those who given to exaggeration looseness express sion, characterized brutal frankness. Others em- ploying figure of rhetoric declared that Mr. Blair had spilled the beans with loud chatter. But it appears that whatever he did. he did nothing yertenty. bills usually spilled. As to one item MT. Blair said that the money involved in
