A STILL IN EVERY HOME!
 NEW MOTTO TO GO WITH BUY
 SOMETHING MADE OF COPPER

Jenkins wins the hand-painted piano duster for racking his brain in effort to increase consupmtion of red metal.
 An interesting, but probably not or iginal idea for using Something made of copper" has been sent Harry Clark, one of the judges in the contest for a $50 prize offered by the c. & A. shelter for the best suggestion of means of utilizing copper.
 The suggestion somes from w. A. Jenkins, of the firm of Murphy & Jenkins Auto company, who proposes a copper still in every home in the United States to make whiskey. "Pro- hibition does not seem to be popular '' he says, land so many want 'hooch, that the privilege of still in homes where desired would create a great demand for copper. The first step would be for people interested to write their senators or congressman to put through bill permitting the making of whiskey in the home without the interference of prohibition officers.
 "If this could be done, the consump- tion of copper for stills in the United States would be 500,00O,000 pounds, or possibly, tons! A still would re- quire about 10 pounds of copper in the king."-Douglas International.

BAUMERT MADE GENERAL
 MANAGER OF TUCSON CITIZEr

Andrew Baumert Jr., republican na- tional committeeman, has been ap- pointed general manager of the Tue son Citizen. He will replace Oliver B. Jaynes, who has been acting gen. eral manager since the death of Allen B. Jaynes last November 2. Frank H. Hitchcock, former post master general, is the principal owner of The Citizen, who in 1908, with James Williams, now editor of the Boston Transcript secured control of The Citizen and a newspaper at Globe. MT. Baumert is not a newspaper man, but is reported to be an adroit politician, and The Citizen, is recog- nized as the organ of the republican party in Arizona. He was secretary of the state central committee before he unexpectedly was chosen national committeeman in place of the late MT. Jaynes.
 Oliver Jaynes, mining engineer by profession, will remain with the Citizen as business manager, and H. H. Lyon, who has been editor for sev- eral years, will retain that position. MT. Baumert's family will not leave Phoenix, and it is understood his managership will be more in the na- ture of counselor and advisor on polit- ical matters than real manager.
 The Citizen has the largest editorial and managerial staffs of any newspa- per in Arizona.

TUCKER LIVESTOCK COMPANY
 BUYS 15,00O HEAD OF SHEEP

w. A. Saunders and J. k. Sherar returned the first of the week from 8 sheep buying trip in New Mexico, They reported buying 15,000 head of sheep, of which 10000 will be put on the Long H ranch, while the other 5000 will be shipped to the-company's ranges near Denver, Colo.
 According to MT. Saunders, the sheep branch of their business will be entirely in the hands of MT. Sherar, who has had years of experience in handling sheep in Colorado.
 This large purchase of sheep shows they are not lacking in confidence, and in view of present low prices, their venture cannot fail to result success fully.-St. Johns Observer.

WHAT A REAL SYMPA-
 THETIC STRIKE WOULD DO

Most persons have a grievance about somethig or other-nursed away often in secrecy and silence, but who hasn't been tempted now and then to throw down his tools and quit his job It's an old saying, that anybody can quit, but the winner is the fellow that stays. Have you ever stopped to think what an odd world this would be if we all quit together in a sympathetic strike with one another?
 doesn't bother you; for the war chest
 You don't draw any wages, but that of the union will see you safely through. You go to buy a soup bone but the lock is on the door. The man pulls down the shutters on the little grocery store. You wait for milk all morning and you wait for bread till night, but everybody's on strike and you can't get bite.
 Your wife won't cook or mend for you; your son won't go to school. Your clock runs down; the whole blame town obeys the union rule. Teachers and janitors don't show up; the child ren lie in bed with nobody to feed them and no books to be read.
 With nothing in the house to eat, you're up against it right; but every body's made an oath to tic the town up tight. You have no coal or wood, no one will sell or send you any. The gas meter declines to work though you drop in your penny. The lights go out, the cars all stop, water no longer flows; the factories shut, the fires are cold, no more the whistle blows.
 No movies, church, or jazzy dance, no newspapers; no mail. You try to buy pack of smokes-nobody'1l take your kale. Old Lizzie balks, no gas for you; the fire department quits; the courts won't rrind, though far be- hind; and the telephone girl justs sits. The lawyers cease from lawing, and the doctors will not doc. Your best friend, whom you trusted so, won't even mind your knock.
 The booze inspectors go to sleep, but what's the use of that? You're on strike yourself, and cannot go upon a bat. The sun still shines, but all the streets are still as death, deserted. For everybody's quit his job in folly all concerted.-El Paso Herald.

ABOUT MARY'S LITTLE LAMB,
 AND HOW SHE LOST IT

Mary had little lamb, it's fleece was white as snow; it strayed away from her one day where lambs should never go; and Mary sat her quickly down and tears streamed from her eyes; she never found her little lamb, for she did not advertise. And Mary had a brother, John, who kept vil- lage store; he sat him down and smoked a pipe and watched the open door. And as the people passed along and did not stop to buy, John still sat and smoked his pipe and blinked his sleepy eye. And so the sheriff closed him out but still he fingered near, and Mary came to drop with him a sympa- thetic tear. "How is it, sister can you tell, why other merchants here, sell all their goods so readily, and thrive from year to year?" Remembering her own bad luck, the little maid re- piled: "These other fellows get there, John, because they advertise. ."-The Hoskins (Neb.) Headlight.

You will hear it said that such and such a magazine prints suggestive stories, meaning that they present corrupt ideas in an attractive dress.

It is this better kind of suggestive ness that you will find on almost every page of The Youths Companion.

 Industrial week promises to be the biggest get-together occasion ever carried out in this state. Wholesalers and jobbers are making a determined effort to interest many of their customers to come to Phoenix during this week to look over holiday goods. To this end many merchants are join ing in a plan swhich calls for the re- batting of the railroad fare of any out of-town buyer. This plan allows ten per cent discount on all purchases made by an out-of-town buyer up to the amount equal to the price of a round trip railroad ticket. If the vis- itor travels by automobile instead of train, the same allowance will be made.
 Many special attractions are billed for Industrial week. Most spectacu- lar are the automobile race events which are scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 9 and Saturday, Nov. 12. Ralph de Palma, the worlds speed king is coming with his famous Ballot racer which holds the worlds record. Mo torcycle races, airplane stunts and auto-polo will supplement this pro- gram which will be held at the state fair grounds.
 Football fans will be especially in- terested in the Armistice Day foot ball game between the high school teams of Fl Paso and Phoenix for the championship.
 Another big event will be the Arm- istice Day parade and industrial pa- geant, which promises to be the long, est, most interesting and beautiful parade ever staged in Arizona.
 Of interest to poultry growers will be the poultry show which is being put on under the auspices of the Mar icopa county poultry association. This will be handled as a separate attrac- tion.
