Maids From the Antilles.

Maid servants from the Antilles
were imported hy q group of French
women. However, they did not prove
altogether satisfactory. A quarter of
the negresses made fairly good serv,
ants, but were inclined to be restless.
Another quarter had to be repatriated.
The remainder have fully lived up TO
the expectations of their employers.
Hard-working Cxechoslovak girls are
now drifting into France as servants.
They are hard working and know their

The very mention OF the word
wasp too often inspires us with a
feeling Of dread. But more intimate

stinging lancet brings about a deep
regard for these interesting insects
themselves and for their rights as well.
Respect those rights. and we need
have no fear of being stung. Besides.
such fears are often folly. for many
wasps cannot infiict sting more palm
full than the prick Of a pin.
Just as the daily life and works OF
a man command our admiration, so
also do the lives and works Of the
wasps. The social wasps live togeth-
er in peaceful communistic groups, In
a common dwelling. built by their uni
ted efforts, and there rear their young

Even though l were in sympathy
with the La Toilette movement, I
would not consider that I was fur

the aims of Senator La Toilette by
voting for him in Arizona; he has
no chance of carrying the state of

GIVES
LIE TO DUN RS
WEEKLY NEWSPAPER

In an open letter to Don G.. Bah
bitt secretary of the Democratic State
Central committee, H. S. McCluskey,
secretary to Governor Hunt, answers
accusations contained in a recent edi-
torial in Dunbar's Weekly of Phoenix.
as follows:
This morning you called my at
tention to telephone conversation
had with you under even date from
Bisbee in relation particularly to an
editorial which appeared in Dunbar's
Weekly Of Saturday, October 4th, in
which malicious and false statements
were made concerning the support
being given the national democratic
candidates by Governor Hunt and my
self.
"The statements contained in Dun
bars Weekly are wholly false, with
out warrant, and printed, in my judg-
ment, to voice the vicious spleen of
the editor of that paper against the
governor and those who have spon-
sored and supported his views of poll
tics in Arizona. AS regards the ma.
tional ticket, suffice it to say that the
governor and myself were staunch
supporters of the Honorable William
G. McAdoo; that upon his defeat and
the nomination of Mr.. Davis we urg-
ed those who had indicated their in
tention to support Mr.. La Toilette, to
follow the advice of Mr.. Bryan and
await the speech of acceptance Of Mr..
Davis. This was done in many in
stances, and the views and policies
enunciated by Mr.. Davis in that speech
and in his Labor day speech have
satisfied thousands Of Mr.. McAdoo's
supporters in this state.
1.-THE statements made in Dunbar's
Weekly that I was in almost daily
conference with Mr.. Maddox during
the 1920 campaign are as true as
other statements in the same article.

tic ticket On primary day ] was in
