ENTERTAINMENT OF BOOKS

The play is about books and how
to take care of books. -
There Is an owner and a Dor.
rover and a shelf of books. The
borrower does not know how to
take care of books. The borrower
borrows the Arabian Nights, and
brings 1t back all torn and wants to
borrow another book, but no one
will go. so the owner gets a new
book and gives it to him; then goes
home reading the book.-Earnest

A MANS PRAYER

Teach me that sixty minutes.
make an hour, sixteen ounces one
pound, and one hundred cents one
dollar. Help me so to live that /
can lie down at night with clear
conscience, without a gun under my
pillow and unhaunted by the faces
of those to whom / have brought
pain. Grant that may earn my
meal ticket on the square and that
in earning it I may do unto others
as would have them do unto me.
Blind me to the faults Of the other
fellow but reveal to me my own.
Guide me so that each night when
I look across the dinner table at
my wife who has been a blessing
to me, / will have nothing to con-
ceal. Keep me young enough to
laugh with little children and SYM
pathetic enough to be considerable

wheels in the yard, make the cere-
mony short and the epitaph:

Sugar

That the difference between cane
and beet sugar is rather a matter
of prejudice than actual superior
ity is the contention of an editorial
writer in "Facts About Sugar."
which poses as an authority on the
subject. 1t is pointed out that ex-
haustive chemical tests have failed
to discover, any real difference in
quality or adaptation to any of the
requirements of the manufacturer
or the consumer, and further as
serted that in Great Britain, for in
stance, confectioners prefer the
beet product, particularly for the
making of hard candies, maintain
ing that cane is unsatisfactory.

We retail SO little ranch butter

per pound for it.

card received from the Hazelwood

There is absolutely no sale for

is all we can offer at this time. We

can thereby receive much more for
their butterfat.

WHY A LEAF FALLS

This curious and wonderful
phenomenon is brought about by
the growth of an intercepting wall
of cells called the "cork" layer
which cuts off the flow of sap
from the leaf at the junction of its
stalk with the stem of the plant.
The sap from the mother tree has
free access to the leaf until early
Autumn when this cork layer COM
mences to grow and gradually cuts
off the sap from the leaf and the
stalk. Deprived of nourishment the
stalk withers and shrinks at its
union with the stem until the first
autumn wind sewers it completely
and the leaf falls.

MARSHALL BURNS NABS
 STILL AND TWO MEN.

While Marshall Burns was taking a little stroll down in
 'Sawdust" town, in the south part of Williams, last Wednes- day evening, teltale odor of distilling White Mule was borne to him on the night air. Fol lowng the scent he came upon 9 Mexican shack from which the odor was arising. Glancing thru a window he beheld two Mexicans busily engaged in firing and attending a home made still.
 Entering the room Burns, covered the two men and then quickly handcuffed both of them. He escorted them to the jail and returned later to in spect. When he got back he found that a gallon jar in which the still was depositing had fil- led to running over while he was taking the men to jail. In addition to this he found about four gallons of evil looking and worse smelling "hootch" This he took with him along with the still, for evidence.
 The still consisted of a gal vanized gasoline tank and pipe. Galvanized vessels are suppose ed to make the fire water more deadly poison, and it is possible that this timely stopping of the still may have saved some pros pective drinkers life.
 Jesus M. Gonzales and Ig- nacio Sotelo were the two men.
 They were brought before Judge Lee on Thursday. Ig- nacio pied guilty and was fined $1OO or sixty days in Jail. Gonzales entered a plea of not guilty. After hearing five witnesses Judge Lee adjudged Gonzales guilty and fined him $135 or ninety days. Gonzal- es paid a part of his fine and ar ranged for payment ofA the bal ance.

Ask Calbraith To Drive Hogs
 Back To State Prison.

PHOEN1X, November D.
 Attorney General w. J. Gal braith has been called upon to straighten out the penitentiary hog dilemma at Florence. Some hogs escaped from the state prison and did damage to near by property, according to the owner of the property, who brought suit and secured judge ment against the state in jus tice court. Prison officials re- fused to pay the fine imposed by the justice court, however, so the property owner has been keeping the hogs as hostages. So what could be more logical than passing the buck to the attorney general. This the sup erintendent of the prison has done, appealing to MT. Gal braith to drive the hogs back behind prison walls where they belong or hand down some kind of an opinion making it possible for someone else to put them be- hind the bars.
