IP the wool clip all over the United States should be reduced for the year 1910, as it has been in Ari zona, where the clipping is done earlier than in other sections of the country, the market will be high. Arizona had the earliest clip in its history this year. The clip is usual ly at its height in Salt River valley and In other sections of the territory about the middle of February, where as this year the sheep were all shorn and on their way back to the hills on February 12. The flocks wintered well, but owing to the cold weather i the grass on the ranges continued dry, and as a result, the quality of the wool wc improved, while the output i was curtailed So pronounced was j this shortage in the clip that instead I of the in.'lux of several hundred thou- j sand of sheep into the clipping cen ters of the Salt Kiver valley, the num bers could be counted by the thou sands. I The clipping began this year about the tenth of January, and by the mid dle of February was finished at Cave j Creek, Marinette, Beardsley, Hot ' Springs Junction, Congress Junction and VVeden. Machines were used at all these clipping centers with the ex- . ception of Weden and Congress June- j Hon, where the shearing was done by I hand. Shearing in the north was la- : ter, but even there tar ahead of the usual season Conditions were about the same in Mohave county, the clip ping center for thru district b< ing Kingman. in former years It was customary for the sheep men to drive their ' flocks from Mohave county to the Salt River valley for the lambing and shearing season, using the forest | range- running north and south for forii. " •• !rr« the route both north and south. Mut the new forest regulations now prohibit thi■ use of the govern ment reserves; the sheep men have been unable to get their tlocks through, especially through the Verde valley, so that the inov• tuent south was aban doned this season. In addition to the restrictions placed upon the forest reserves, the valleys that In former years were green, owr ing to the <*o:d. dry weather and the consequent lack of rains, this year ' were not green enough to support the ' moving flocks. The iv nit of this Is | that those (locks which were moved I south, for lack of grating In the cen tral Arizona valley*, had to hasten back north, where the lambing proved disastroc , not only to the lambkins j hut to the ewes a* well.

The buyers that were in the field were representa tives of Dewey, Gold & Co., of Bos ton; Brown & Adams, of Boston, and Salter Brothers, representing various houses in Boston. Workers were scarce, and wages were high. Clip pers that formerly received from sls to S4O per month now receive from $35 to SIOO per month, and most of these laborers are Mexicans. Goat raising in Arizona has proved profitable, and this year's prices, paid by the Boston markets, were the high est ever recorded, For kid mohatr, R. Edmundson of Yarnell received 50 cents per pound, and this was paid for the grade known as No. 2. This salo was made through the National Mo hair Growers' association, organized recently in opposition to the wool combine. The new association lias an agency and warehouse in Boston, and lost no time in getting into the Ari zona field. The shipment netted Edmundson 40 cents a pound after paying transpor tation charges and association ex penses. Not only is the goat proving i profitable from the sale of the hair, i but recently Arizona goat mutton sold | in the Kansas City market for $6.25 | the hundred. The territory has many i mesas and mountain slopes, which j afford a natural habitat for the An gora goat, and the outlook is that this branch of the stock raising in Ari zona will continue to grow in impor tance. Owing to the warm climate In this ■ territory, lambs come into the tnar- I ket at a very early season, which gives I the flocks additional advantage over i other parts of the country. One ship ment of iambs was mado from the Salt River farms by J. A. Pitts of Ash Fork, as early as March 14. This con | signment consisted of four double car j loads of spring lambs, which were sent !to Kansas Tity. This was the first attempt ever made in Arizona to ship the iambs so that they might arrive in Kansas City before Easter. While this | shipment w,ia made in the nature of an experkiv-nt it proved profitable, i and n» ,N , year It Is probable that Ari zona l nibs will find ready early tale '!n Kansas City stock yards. The lambs sold were raised on Pitts' farm j and if .1 on hay raised on his farm. In stead of leaving the lambkins on the j ranges.

Her Supreme Moment By ANNIE HINRICHSEN Copyright, igio, by Associated Literary Press The manager, who was also the leading man, faced the newest mem ber of his company with a flinty coun tenance. , "I can't do it,"the newest member wailed. "I can't —I can't. Play that part here, of all places—a part I don't know and haven't time to learn. Is it necessary? Won't you reconsider?" The manager sighed inwardly. But before him were two ills—the anger of his star, the grief of his newest member; and the grief of the newest member was a tiny evil compared with the anger of his star. "I'm sorry, Miss Fortesque—awfully sorry. But I can't help it." "Aren't you the manager? Don't you Control this company?" He was silent. lie was the man ager, but the star was the star, and to her lie was in absolute subjection. "This is my home town, Mr. White, and tonight will be my first appear ance here in a professional company. Every man, woman and child who will come here tonight knows me. I was born and raised here; so were my par ents and grandparents. If you change the bill and compel me to play 'Mar na' in 'Siratton's Policy' you will make me ridiculous. I don't know the play nor the part; I don't know a dozen lines." "Your part is a minor one and you can subordinate it still more. Keep well away from the center of the stage, speak only when addressed and cut out all business of acting. The rest of the company are so familiar with the play that they can swing it along without much help from you." "One can't play even the part of a lay figure without preparation." Six months before he had taken her from a company in which she was playing an insignificant part and given her a place in his own, second in importance to that of his star. But the freshness, the enthusiasm and the originality of her work and the charm of her personality had been out of all proportion to a minor part. In defi ance of all the laws of the profession, her own individuality had turned a small role into a conspicuous one. 1 "Mr. White, hasn't there been in jour lifo a purpose that meant more to you than anything else -that you j dreamed of and worked for with all j j the strength that wus in you? Haven't j j you looked forward to the time when I your own endeavors brought the reali zation of the dream? Perhaps my dream has not been a very lofty one; 1 but 1 have put into it everything I ; have. It was that i might successfully play a g<«>d role in a big company be j fore the people of my own town.

Three generations of friends and relatives packed the house. The first act was half over. The leading man, who was also the man ager, had received an almost inaudible greeting, the famous star a weak and perfunctory applause. The curtains at the back of the stage parted. Mama, sister of the hero, ran in and threw her arms around the neck of her stage brother. A cheering roar broke from the house. Every man and woman in It seemed to be clapping, cheering and pounding. The volume of sound subsided and rose, again and again. With her arm tightly about the neck of tho leading man Mary For tesque turned toward the audience. As fresh and innocent and unspoiled as when she had left home, she stood before them with all the sweetness of the home-loved, home-loving southern girl. The leading man squirmed uneasily and her arm tightened about his neck. As the last cheer died away, still gripping the leading man's neck with her arm, half dragging him, she walked to the center of the stage. "My friends, my own people," she began. "I shall not try to tell you how happy I am to be here. You know the love in my heart for you all. I'm home —home! I want to hold out my arms to you and weep a little while—just for Joy. "I wanted to appear before you to night as a good actress in a good part, and I say, without vanity, that had the play been the one scheduled, 'The Holbrookes,' I could have done so and you would not have been ashamed of me. But this morning the manager, this leading man"—she shook him—"changed the bill and compelled me to appear tonight in a play that I had never seen. I do not know my part. I shall not try to act. I shall stand on the stage while the play goes on around me. Your judg ment of mo will be kindly; you can understand how bitter is my disap pointment because I cannot give you my best. But Mr. White" —another shako—"has decreed—" "Lynch him!" yelled a voice. "String him up!" "Burn him!" came from all parts of the house. "We shall give you the play," she went on, when she could be heard; "you will kuow why I only stand and smile." The play went on as best it could. Whenever Mary Fortesque came on tho stage tho house cheered and clapped. The few lines she spoke, every gesture, every smile, brought enthusiastic applause. In the dressing rooms and wings the flowers were stacked in sheafs. The loading man's best scenes were enlivened by cat calls and hoots from the audience. Half a dozen times Mary Fortesque was recalled before the final curtain dropped. lu one of the wings the manager was alternately pleading with and swearing at a newspaper representa tive. "Spare your feelings? Keep quiet about this story?" jeered tho news paper man. "Not on your life. Every morning paper in the country shall have this tale. And won't you get tho roustings? Serves you right for let ting that jealous Deene boss you around. You ought to have stood by thu little girl." The little girl, her arms heaped high with (lowers, came up to them. "1 was Just congratulating Mr. White," said tho Journalist, "on your success tonight. Why, Miss For tesque, you're made—you've arrived. Tomorrow you'll he the most talked of actress In America. Your fortune—" She shook her bead gently. "No," she said quietly. "Tonight I leave tho stage forever. I've had a Utile glimpse of fame and I've had a long look at what lien under It jealousy, aelfseek- Ing, sordbliiess. For some the reward compensates for the bitterness, but It never will for me.

"Hid you see that big, black eyed laddie who yelled 'Lynch himf* He Is a perfect laddie, but until to night 1 thought fume was better than love and home.

YOUNT UNIFORMITY BILL IS HIT BY EDUCATORS Ohio Teachers' Association Adopts Strong Resolution Against State Uniformity of School Books. Cedar Point, 0., .—Educators of Ohio to the number of 2,000 attend ed the annual meeting of the Ohio State Teachers' Association here. The session was marked by two important incidents —the teachers refused to lis ten to an address on equal suffrage and they took unanimous action against state uniformity of school books. During the last session of the legis lature the Yount uniformity bill was passed by the senate and was lost in the house. The educators of Ohio do not want uniformity considered again and they voice their protest in the fol lowing strong resolution: "We believe that the educational value of school proces. is and practices should be paramount to every other consideration. We are therefore op posed to all efforts which would aim to establish a system of State Uni formity in the selection of text-books, because we believe that such a sys tem would be a hindrance to the pres ent progress of our schools." HE ENJOYED IT. Mrs. Talkalot —It's a wonder you wouldn't be careful about your own language. You make it a business to pick me up on little blunders. Mr. Talkalot—No, my dear. I make a recreation of it. Controlled Newspapers. The Atchison Globe says that no ad vertiser has ever tried to control its ed itorial policy, the remark being occa sioned by the charge often made nowa days, that the big advertisers direct the editorial policy of newspapers. The experience of the Globe is the experience of most newspapers. The merchant who does a great deal of ad vertising is more interested in the cir culation department of a newspaper than in the editorial department. If a daily paper goes to the homes of the people, and is read by them, he is satis fied, and it may chase after any theory or fad, for all he cares. He has troubles of his own, and he isn't trying to shoul der those of the editorial brethren. There are newspapers controlled by people outside of the editorial rooms, and a good many of them, more's the pity; but the people exercising that I control are not the business men who j pay their money for advertising space. I The newspapers which are established J for political purposes are often con- I trolled by chronic officeseekers, whoso | first concern is their own interests. | There are newspapers controlled by great corporations, and the voice of such newspapers is always raised In | protest against any genuine reform. The average western newspaper usu | ally is controlled by its owner, and he I is supposed to be in duty bound to make j ail sorts of sacrifices at all sorts of , times; there are people who consider It his duty to Insult his advertisers, just to show that he is free and inde pendent. if ho shows a decent respect for his patrons, who pay hini their money, and make It possible for him to carry on the business, he is "subsi dized" or "controlled." Tho newspaper owner Is a business nnn, like tho dry goods man or the grocer. The mer chants are expected to have considera tion for their customers, and they are not supposed to be subsidized by thu man who spends five dollars with them, but the publisher Is expected to demonstrate his courage by showing that he Is ungrateful for the patron age of his friends.

"My dear," asks the thoughtful hus band, "did you notice a large sheet of paper with a lot of diagrams on it about my desk?" "You mean that big piece with doti and curves and diagonals and things all over it?" "Yes. It was my map of the path of Halley's comet. I wanted to —" "My goodness!

The minister was addressing the Sunday school. "Children, I want to talk to you for a few moments about one of the most wonderful, one of the most important organs in the whole world," he said. "What is that that throbs away, beats away, never stop ping, never ceasing, whether you wake or sleep, night or day, week in and week out, month in and month out, year in and year out, without any volition on your part, hidden away in the depths, as it were, unseen by you, throbbing, throbbing rhythmically all your life long?" During this pause for oratorical effect a small voice was heard: "I know. It's the gas meter." What's the Answer? We're ready to quit! After sending two perfectly rhymed, carefully scan ned, pleasurably sentimental pieces of poetic junk to seventeen magazines and having them returned seventeen times, we turn to the current ißsue of a new monthy and find a "pome" modeled after Kipling's "Vampire," and in which horfte is supposed to rhyme with alone, run on page eleven with all tha swell eurlycues ordinarily surrounding a piece of real art.
