STRIP DEMOCRATS.
 |. OF CHAIRMANSH|PS
Republicans Take All PluInS at
 Party Conference

Seven republican members of the common council stood out against a movement to place republican at the head of every standing commit tee in the common council and break precedent of many years standing at the G. Q. P. caucus last night. but the motion prevailed and Alderman '. J. Dchm replaced $. A. Lynch as chairman of the committee on licenses.
 Informed of tho republicans action, the democratic side ol 'he house withdrew nominations it had prepared for tho standing commit co and delivered an utmatum 10 the republicans predicting lack of "smoot hness and cooperation" and declaring that the c. 0, r. would be required to iilA all committees for the ensuing year.
 Mayor A. M. PaoncSsl who had been meeting with the democrats came to the joint meeting which followed both the Caucuscs and he likened the actions Of the repuhIi- cans 10 those of the Kaiser in h. perialistic Germany. After con- demning the G. c. P. action, he left the meeting in disgust.
 The mayor afterwards stated that he was wholcheartedly behind the 1cision of his fellow democrats. The policy of accepting no commit tee places unless one chairmanship was turned over to them was de- cided upon at the democratic meet ing and was expressed to the rnpub- liCan cancus by Alderman John F. M3erz, democratic leader in the council.
 Officials Elected
 Alderman William II. Judd called the meeting 10 order and Attorney David L. Nair vas selected as clerk Alderman c. J. Dehm nominated Alderman Judd as president pro tenn. and Councilman John Buckley seconded the nomination. He was elected

iection, The first ward councilman expressed his opinion that 1t Is very poor policy to grab orr all chair manships, and reminded that while the republicans are In power today there may come a day when the democrats will be in power and the c. 0, P, would be very glad to have one chairmanship. Councilman Chamberlain said it was not neces- sary 10 give tho democrats the license committee, but some other committee should be headed by q democrat,
 Councilman Hausman, member of the nominating, committee, ap- pcared surprised at the opposition, declaring he was of the impression that the consensus of opinion among republicans favored taking all the chairmanships, Ho said he was a little in doubt as 10 the wisdom of that policy and also went on record as in favor of alloting one commit tee to the democrats,
 Judd Explains Policy
 Alderman Judd, republican leader. told the gathering 1t would be de- prived of all committees If the democrats were in power. He said the legislature gives out no chair manships 10 democrats and Presi dent Coolidge has urged the same policy in the national government. Tho republicans are in power and entitled to all. he declared.
 Councilman Bartlett supposed the policy of "to the victor belong the spells" is all right, but he reminded his colleagues that this is New Britain, not the state or the United states. He argued against taking all we can get our hands on," and suggested that someone else hc given a "look-in."
 Councilman Rutherford challenged the statement the republicans are ir power, discussing the situation thai exists under mayors vetoes.
 l Councilman Chamberlain moved the vote on nominations he recon. sidered with a view to giving the democrats one committee chairman. 1 ship. Councilman Bartlett seconded 1 the motion.
 On a rising vote, the following members favored such action: Coun. ciImen Hausmann, Caldwell. Maxon Rutherford, Bartlett, Chamberlain and Robertson.
 A committee consisting of Council. men Nair, Buckley and Hausmapr was appointed 10 invite the demo, crats 10 the c. o. P. caucus. When the democrats had beer 1 ushered in and introduced, the join' meeting was convened. Clerk Nail 1 read the c. 0.

Included were thre( nominations for the sarios commit tee, on which the republicans haC allowed the democrats only two places. Also included was the nomi nation of Councilman s. A.

Councilman Ihomas Orchard or tho second ward moved for the ap- pointment of a committee to bring in nominations for the standing committees,
 Alderman Judd appointed Alder men C. J. Dchm and Stanley A. karpenski, and Councilmen Fred C, Hausmann. Edward II, Christ and John Buckley,
 Councilman Buckley suggested that every member write on slip of paper his committee preferences and this was done. Included among the slips handed In was ono signed by Councilman Arthur N Rutherford, reading; "l do not want to be chairman of the com mittce on railroads" Councilman Rutherford was chairman of the committee last year. His wish was granted.
 The committee went into executive session for more than half an hour Upon it's return. Alderman Dehm read the nominations and on motion Of Councilman Christ, the slate went through with Councilman Bartlett casting the only negative vote cast.
 Alderman Dchm moved that the caucus stand behind the nomina- tions when they are submitted We'd ncsday night. It was so voted.
 Bartlett Voices Objection
 Councilman Bartlett told the caucus he wanted 10 register an ob- iection o taking the only chairman ship the democrats held last year from them.
 Councilman r, & Caldwell was of the same opinion. He remarked that the G. c. r. could safely be a little magnanimous since there Is A good republican majority on every committee and if the republican members would attend committee meetings there would be no fear of democratic control.
 Alderman Dchm defended the slate, He spoke of the resolution requesting no more carnivals and claimed the license committee. under d democratic chairman had pro- ceedcd to give a license for car nival. "The mayor planes us for everything anyway" Dehm said in concluding his remarks.
 Alderman Stanley Karpenski of the fifth ward defended the license committees action. He Is a mem Der of that committee. The alder man said he didn't believe the common councils request that no more carnival licenses be issued was intended to bar local organizations who might wish to conduct car nivals, and he feels the council should be proud to give assistance 10 the organizations which have done much for the city.
 Alderman Judd put the motion to back the nominations and 1t was carried by unanimous vote.
 Discussion on the wisdom of talk ing all chairmanships was not cut off, however, Councilman Rodman Chamberlain rising to voice his ob-

What causes heavy black smoke

out" replied a candidate.
What is the purpose of fan on

tion.
"To supply fresh air to the car
buretor."
Give a reason why motor

SEE ARIZONA FIRST
PHOTO CONTEST TO
CLOSE OCTOBER |

With less than three weeks re-
naming before the entries close
officially on October l, the See
Arizona First" scenic photograph
contest fostered by civic bodies of
the state is entering it's last lap
with indications of a large num-
ber of entries from all parts of the
state.
Wherefore, the Winslow Com
mercial club, which is conducting
the contest here, urges that all
residents of this county enter their
vacation pictures now, to make
sure they have chance for the
four attractive cash prizes that
will be awarded.
The contest, which is statewide,
is open to all Arizonans, and any
photograph taken in the state this
year is eligible. Films should ac-
company pictures, but will be re-
turned if desired. Photographs
should be entered unmarked, the
name and address of the entrant
and location OF scene being given
on an attached piece of paper, SO
that a record may be kept while
Judging isbeing done by number.
For the best picture of scenic ma
ture four cash prizes will be
awarded, of $50, $25, SIS and $40
respectively
Aside from contributing much
interest to the "See Arizona First"
movement, the contest will bring
to light many views of Arizona
scenic spots that may be extremely
valuable for advertising, publicity
and display purposes, and this is
another reason why everyone is
urged to enter the contest. Entries
may be made through any chamber
of commerce, and after closing
time, October 1, will be forwarded
to the Arizona Industrial Congress
for submission to the committee of
judges, consisting of seven we'll
known men.
The "See Arizona First" cam
paign itself has been unusually
successful this year, according to
advices to the local chamber, and
this summer has broken all rec
ords for Arizonans who have spent
their vacations in their own state.

KANSAS CITY STOCK
YARD REPORT
September Z, 1925
By CHAS. M. PIPKIN
Correspondent

Some of the better classes of cat
tie were Is to rs cents higher to-
day and most classes sold more
readily than last week. The gen
eral tone in the trade was improv-
ed. Receipts were below expecta-
tions, and the cooler weather may
give pasturemen a chance to hold
for a general rain. Hogs broke
sharply, the largest loss being in
the light weight classes that have
been selling at big premium over
other weights. Sheep and lambs
were quoted weaker to 25 cents
lower.
TOday's Receipts
Receipts today were 21,000 cat
tie, $500 hogs and 10000 sheep,
compared with $4,000 cattle, 1000
hogs and $4,000 sheep a week ago,
and 49,475 cattle, 5,865 hogs and
1880 sheep a year ago.
Beef Cattle
Trade in fat cattle today showed
better tone than last week,
and in a few cases sales were con-
siderably higher. Receipts were
materially less than expected, and
with most trade activities closed
for the Labor day holiday the light
runs were in keeping with the best
interests of the market. Some prime
979 pound yearlings brought STATS.
These are the first full-blood steers
offered in two weeks. Short fed
steers sold at $500 to $12.50; win
tered steers $3.50 to 1915, and
grass fat steers $3.50 to $3.50,
mostly $500 to $3.50. Cows and
heifers were quoted steady to Is
cents higher and in active demand.
Gamers and cutters continued to
sell readily Most killing COWS
sold at 1915 to $500; Gamers and
cutters $2.85 to $3.50 and heifers
$3.50 to $500 Veal calves were
steady, top 11.00.
StOckers and Feeders
Cooler weather, showers in some
sections and more expected tended
to stimulate the demand for stock
ers and feeders. Prices ruled
stronger. A general rain would in
crease the demand materially.
Sheep and Lambs
Sheep and lamb prices were
quoted weak to 25 cents lower. At
the decline trade was active and a
good clearance was reported. West
ern lambs sold at $500 to $15.40;
native lambs $14.00 to $14.50; feed
ing lambs $14.00 to $500 Few
sheep were offered.

QUEER REPLIES
MADE In CIVIL
SERVICE PAPERS

Ingenious reasoning at times
serves in the absence of accurate
information, but it is not always a
safe substitute. This was the gen
eralization formulated by Carl V.
White, secretary of the Los An
geles civil service board, after go
ing over the examination papers
of a class. of candidates recently
seeking municipal employment.
What is labor distribution
sheet?" was one question. A can
didate, evidently relying upon his
reasoning faculty rather than his
knowledge, replied: Zone that is
edited by the laboring class in the
form of newspaper and is dis
tributed for purpose of keeping
their fellow men enthusiastic"
To the question: What is ar
SOM" another candidate replied:
"The act of trying to poison a per-
son with arsenic"
Other questions and answers
were:
what's a morgue?" "a piece
of white paper held against prop
erty for borrowed money"
What is habeas corpus?" "The
red corpuscles in the blood"
What is a kleptomaniac?" "a
person with a mania causing him
to lie unnecessarily"

the Ideal Laundry this week, max
ing ten different machines that are
used at the plant for ironing Four
| of these machines and a hand iron
er are used in pressing every shirt
finished at the laundry, while four
others are used in ironing stiff
collars.
Shirts are first taken to the cuff
ironer. From these they go to a
machine where the neck bands are
pressed and shaped. The next part
of the shirt to be ironed is the
front, which is placed on what is
called the bosom ironer, from there
the shirt is taken to ironers where
the sleeves and back of the shirt
are pressed. The finishing touches
are added to the garment by a wo-
man who smoothes with a hand
iron any wrinkles left by the ma
chimes.
Cuffs are first run flat through
the cuff ironer. The place where
the fold is to be made is then
dampened by another machine and
the cuffs creased and folded. 1t
is then placed on what is called a
molder, which presses the crease
in and shapes the collar. After the
collar has been run through a Sec
ond molding device it is ready to
be taken to the sorting department
and wrapped for delivery.

because Studebaker builds for Studebaker
ID cars all bodies, all engines, all axles,
clutches, derentials, steering gear, springs gear
sets, gray iron castings and drop forgings-it IS
possible to give purchasers two advantages:
I. A price advantage: Because Studebaker
eliminates extra profits which all other manu-
facturers (except Ford) must pay to outside
parts or body makers. Thus Studebaker is able
to use steel of extra toughness, fine northern
white ash and hard maple, wool upholstery, plate
glass. painstaking workmanship to precision
standards, and extra equipment, such as gaso-
line gauge, clock, stop light, etc.-yet charge no
more than competing cars.
2. A construction advantage: Because all parts
are not only designed to constitute one har-
rnonious unit, but are Unit-Built in Studebaker
plants. Being built as unit, every Studebaker
functions as unit. This results in years longer
life scores of thousands of miles of excess trans
portation, greater riding comfort, minimum re-
pair costs and, finally higher resale value.
The net of it is this: the one-proht Studebaker
with its unit-buit construction
offers you bargain in quality. <r..4L 80
