UNDER MORE CHARGES.
 COUNTY ROAD WORK IS HALTED BY PROVISION OF NEW BUDGET LAW GOVERNING TAX PAYMENTS

 LAW GOVERNING TAX PAYMENTS DOUGLAS. Dec II. Yesterday there was an important conference held in this city by a number of Cochise county officials, including the members Of the board of supervisors, County Attorney John F. Ross, Coun ty Engineer Sid Smyth and County Treasurer Guy Welch
 fhe purpose of the conference was to seek relief from a condition which has come upon the road fund of the county that will prevent the further progress of the road program i The new budget law prevents the expenditure of budgeted money for any purpose until the tax money has been actually paid into the county | treasury and warrants may not be issued against fund in which there
 is no money ready to pay them. Heretofore the custom has been for | one fund when exhausted to borrow l from the general fund and this GUS tom has been followed by the roaI in the past, but under the new la~ this cannot be done
 This will be ample money 10 carry out the road budget for this year when the second payment of taxes has been made. but at present the actual cash on hand is very limited and on this account il will be neces- sary to stop all road work not abso- lutely necessary at the present time. The second tax payment becomes due after the first of the year and will be delinquent soon after the first Of May it is expected that sufficient money will be available to justify re- sumption of work during the month of April on the county road program for this fiscal year
 The county officials here yesterday had hoped that it might be possible to arrange with several banks in the county to supply money to continue the road program and thus avoid the laying off of many men throughout the county but the attorneys repre- seutine the banks -,f this city and Bisbec. including the county attorney agreed that there is no provision Of the new budget law authorizing such method of relief and the banks de. clined to assume such risk which might be complicated by any ind- vidual taxpayer filing suit tJ pre- vent this method which there is no law to support
 It was learned this morning that the total road workers which will b. discontinued will amount to as many as fifty and scattered in various i1. calities in the county
 Al! tine county officials were auxi- ous to have the road program go fo~- ward undisturbed for the reason that after the tax money reaches tn. treasury the time vii! b. too short for completing all the work oontem- plated by this years budget and be- cause any money remaining unex- pended in the budget Of next year. An other reason for the anxiety of the officials is the fact that May and june are bad months for prosecuting road work.
 County Engineer Smyth stated that the present condition does no: come because oG lack of funds budgeted but because of the fact that the money budgeted is not now available.

John 4. Perkins has completed one
Of the most unique pictures. in the
United States. in which he used 81
varieties Of wood, collected over a
period of nearly forty years, with not
q single drop of paint used in the en-
tire photograph" says a writer in the
American Forestry Magazine of Wash
ington. The wonderful work OF art is
22 inches by "a inches and required
about six months of steady work for
its completion.
The picture, called Pals" represents
a scene of boyhood days. with the many
kinds of wood inlaid to represent the
scene. All coloring and variations Of
effect are produced by the natural color
for the various woods. The picture
consists Of wood entirely. with a coat
Of shellac over the surface. The prin-
cipal figures in the picture are the
Pals a barefoot boy with worm can
and fishing pole, and his dog, looking
up with an expression Of inquiry. The
boy is about to cross a brook, while
behind is a landscape with roads and
trees. sky and clouds
The idea came to Perkins, skilled
wood worker. while he was on a trip
to Washington last year, when he saw
a wonderful work Of sculpture He
thought then that il a sculptor could
accomplish such results with stone, he
should do as we'll with wood Upon
his return to Wilmington, Del, he
started to work on his picture with
different bits Of vari- colored wood he
had been collecting since 1882.
The thirty-seven different kinds of
wood used are: African mahogany.

THE FIRST CHRISTMAS TREE

As he spoke, Joseph thrust his staff
into the ground. Suddenly, to the
amazement of them all, the dead wood
began to grow. 1t put forth branches
covered with green leaves, and then
before their wondering eyes broke into
fragrant blossoms. The dry stick OF
wood had changed into noble haw-
thorn tree.
1T is miracle!' they cried, and all
dropped on their knees.
Then, one Of them recalled a tale that
he had heard of how the trees in par
adise had blossomed on the night the
Lord was born.
ut is a sign from Cod" said Joseph,
that He will protect us. Let Us end
our wanderings and settle in this
place"
Strength came back to their limbs
and courage to their hearts, SO that
they were able to construct a few
rough houses out of mud and branches.
And beside the miraculous thorn tree
they built a little church, which later
on was added to and became the IA
nous Glastonbury Abbey.
For many years the sacred thorn tree
bloSomed every Christmas eve, and the
fame Of the repeated miracle spread all
over the land. Even today. if you
should go to England. you can go to
Glastonbury and someone will show
you where the thorn tree grew.
The Christmas trees we have and
this first Christmas tree all blossom
for the same reason; only instead of
living flowers, the Christmas trees to-
Z day blossom out with lights and shin
ing ornaments and glistening stars
put there by loving hands because the
baby Christ was born.

SPRAY PEACH TREES
FOR LARGER CROPS
Lime Sulphur Solution Will Destroy
Insect Enemies and plant
Diseases.

Why is it that we do not have the
loads of peaches we used to have In our
home orchards here in Florida? That
question has worried many Of our
farmers and housekeepers. In the light
that scientists and practical orchard
lists throw upon the subject, it seems
that the enswer to this question Is,
Insect enemies and plant diseases.
They destroy the tress and rot the
fruit. Professor H. E. Stevens. now
county agent OF Lee county, but for
many years plant pathologist Of the
Florida experiment station, has the
following to say in regard to some of
the things which keep our peach yields
down to a minimum:
''The time during which the diseases
OF the peach can be combatted is so
short that prompt action is necessary

(By Mary Isabel Curtis, in the Ameri-
can Forestry Magazine.)
To almost every boy and girl at
holiday time a tree means a Christmas
tree. But how much, / wonder. do
you children know about this most
beautiful tree of all?
Many many years ago when Joseph
of Arimathea came from Palestine to
England to tell the English people all
about the life and death of Christ,
there had never been a Christmas tree
in any country Of the world. Very few
people lived in England at that time,
and those who did live there were wild,
rough men and women who did not
welcome strangers to their land.
Joseph and his friends were glad
enough when they reached England
after long and stormy voyage on the
ocean-for in those days there were
no comfortable, big ships such as we
now travel on. They had come all the
way from Palestine in a little open
boat, exposed to bitter winter weather.
and were cold and tired and weary of
the sea.
After they landed they started to
travel back into the interior of the
country hoping to find some kindly
shelter. But no one would receive them
on Christmas eve their food was gone;
they were exhausted and almost per-
ishing with cold when they came to a
little hill that ever since that day has
been called Weary There Jo-
seph, in deep encouragement. dropped
down on a rock to rest.
Il have strength to go no farther

and my hope is as dead as this staff in
my nands."

Deputies for Hunting Licenses.

That county clerks may appoint
responsible men in all parts of the
county as deputy clerks for the is
Suance of hunting licenses were the
instructions sent out by the state
conservation commission this week
Experience has shown that many
hunters living in rural communities
find 1t exceedingly difficult to
make a special trip to the county
seat TO get their hunting licenses,
and it IS thought that the appoint
ment of several deputies in each
county will obviate this difficulty.
The commission also announced
that the laws do not allow anyone
who has not lived III the state for
the past year to take out a trapping
license. Broken, lost or locked deer
tags may be duplicated at a cost of
10 cents, according to the instruct
ions of the commission. The custom
of issuing hunting license upon
the basis of the applicant present
ing his last years license has been
discontinued aud the county clerks
are warned that each applicant
much fill out i'll full the special ap
plication blanks for hunting lie
enses.

Hunters frequently find it difficult
to distinguish the male deer from the
female deer in the woods, and since
bucks only can be killed he must be

cording to story going the rounds.
The first day of the season he shot a
