 POLICE FORCE BEFORE COUNCIL

Fireworks and comedy that have become customary of late at meet ings of the city council, were not omit ted at the regular meeting held last night. After the monthly report of the lire chief had been read, John Caretto took advantage of the occa- sion to remark that the fire depart ment is by, far the best conducted of any department in the city. The may or thereupon replied that in his opin- ion the police department is second to none, while Councilman Reed call the attention of the council to the accomplishment of the police depart ment in capturing that same evening one of the largest stills that has ever been taken in Bisbee.
 That still has been in operation for two years" remarked Caretto sarcastically.
 If that is so, responded the mayor. 'I cannot understand why any coun- cilman should know for two years of still being in operation and not in form the city marshall"
 Caretto said nothing, but turned to address Kempton, shaking his finger at him across the table.
 Don't shake your finger at me" warned kempton.

 Your Bank Book

You are glad that you saved money during the past year. RESOLVE now to save more during 1921
 Even a little more, added to the amount of your weekly savings de- posit, will count up amazingly in the long run.
 And what a satisfaction it is, when the end of the year comes, to know that one has kept his New Years resolution and proved the answering, constant qualities of his character.
 This bank helps thrifty folks
 to save by adding per cent
 interest to savings deposits,
 subject to usual regulation.

NIT Of thorough and easy cleaning.
Well drained clay floors have many
good points in their favor.
"A barn with two rows Of tie stalls;
facing a center feeding alley for the
cows, and with pens for calves and
young stock directly back Of the cows
and next to the outer walls, is prob
ably the most practical arrangement.
This makes for q minimum Of labor in
handling the calves.
"Ample yard space should be pro-
vided adjacent to the barn, for the
COW herd needs plenty of exercise and
should be turned out every day for at
least a few hours. Small calves also
need exercise, yet should not be re-
CURED to withstand too much expos
ure. For open heifers and dry cows
a cheaply constructed shed which pro-
vides shelter from wind and storm and
q dry place to lie down and SO ar
ranged as to SUI economical feed
ing, is all that is necessary. These
animals should not be handled in large
lunches, but should be divided and
grouped according to size and condi.
tion."

The average daily milk yield per doe

Of 2.42 pounds over the yield of the

Lucky Animals.

Animal mascots become yer more
and more popular. Dancers are wear
ing little black pigs in efigy. The
f'sherman's mascot is thu petrol, the
omen Of good weather. The black
cat is almost universally considered
lucky, but this is specially SO with
actors and actresses. Many Of "the
profession" would not dream of play
ing a first night through without a
small black cat charm Of some sort.
The airman's mascot is the eagle, and
q gardener will often keep fox luck
q CHARM IN the form Of a toad. People
with gray eyes should always choose
a monkey mascot. Brown eyes will
find the horse a lucky animal, and
blue eyes should wear a little bear
charm. A quaint colored butterfly is
the best luck-bringer for green-eyed
people. It is unlucky1 for fair-haired
people to wear any mascot in the form
Of a snake, and a mouse charm will
only bring bad luck to anyone who In
rash enough to wear it.

GOT START IN BUSY CITY
Move for the Improvement Of Hortl-
culture Began in London Over
a Century Ago.

In Piccadilly, in the center Of Lon
don, the mother Of gardens came into
existence many years ago, according
to the Christian Science Monitor. It
was at Hatchard's, the well-known
bookseller and publisher, in 1904, that
John WedgwoOd gathered his friends
together and unfolded q plan to "fes-
ter and encourage every branch Of
horticulture and to collect every in
formation respecting the cultivation
and treatment Of all plants and trees"
The founder Of the House OF Hatch
ard, John Hatchard. was in sympathy
with every project that made for the
good and enlightenment Of mankind.
It was a suitable place for this society,
the mother Of many affiliated societies,
to begin It's worldwide operations. The
room where the first meeting took place
no longer exists, as the building has
been rebuilt since that time, but q
portrait Of John Hatchard still hangs
in the comfortable lounge that forms
the shop. The picture shows the in
tellectual nature Of the man. The
windows facing P%iccadilly and the
wooden seat that in summer time IL
placed In front of them carries a
back to a time when the rush and noise
Of the London streets was less than
at the present time. There is an air
of leisure and other-wOrldness that 10
very pleasant to those passersby who
long to forget the hurrylng feet and
noisy sounds of crowded thorough
fares.
The society did not receive its royal
charter till 1909, which set forth that
it's aim was the improvement Of hort.
culture, ornamental as well as useful.
Well has it carried out it's resolutions.

WIDESPREAD WAR ON

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of A~griculture.)
The United States Department Of
Agriculture has set on foot what is
intended to be the most comprehen-
sive weed survey eve undertaken. Up
to date comparatively little is known
Of American farm weeds. They are
classified In botanies and herbariums,
but there are no definite data in re-
gard to their spread; the prevalence
Of any particular weed in any local.
ity; the amount of annual damage
new weeds, increase Of old species
or local methods Of eradication.
To supply the need for such data
the section Of weed Investigations has
sent a QUESTIONABLE to all the more
than 1900 county agents Of the de-
partment. This QUESTIONABLE asks the
name Of five worst weeds In each
county, In order Of their Importance +;
the methods, If any, used by farmers
to combat these weeds; and what
weed problems are especially serious
in any particular county.
Comparatively few native American
weeds have given farmers serious
trouble, but new varieties are con-
stantly arriving in foreign seed and
through other sources. Some Of these
have become such pests that entire
farms have been abandoned to them.
"A canvass Of 200 representative east
ern farmers showed that an average
Of 20 days a year Is spent at the bust
est season In trying to get rid of
weeds. Investigations by the bureau
Of plant industry e a number of
years r taken to indicate that cul-
tivation after the seeded is prepared
has no other use than to destroy
weeds. II this theory proves correct,
it will add more heavily still to the
annual expense chargeable to weeds.
It Is the purpose Of the department
to use the projected survey as a basis
Of operation In directing a widespread
war on the weeds o here, or the i'm
portation Of any new ones, and to
seek any local eradication method,
which may be worth general dissem-
ination.
