The Los Angeles Times makes no friends for itself by sneering at Ari- zona's claims to statehood. The Times is in the habit of patronizing the peo- rIe of this territory in a superior sort of way. and is never backward in telling them what they must do. Fortunately our arguments for state hood will be made at Washington and not at Los Angeles, and so it makes little difference whether the Times op- poses or favors our ambitions. It is dawning upon the people of this val ley, especially, that their prosperity does not give happiness to southern California. It is appreciated at Los Angeles even better than here, that when water storage is achieved for this region California will have to yield first place to us in orange pre- duction, and the constant advice of the Times that our people should wait for the government to give them water storage is based on something more than vagary. Its suggestion that We cannot obtain statehood until the gov ernment has stored the waters for us, is undoubtedly the expression of q hone.

It is quite likely that the president has ideas of his own upon the sub ject of the army and navy, and the statement that he wishes to empha- size fighting qualities rather than numbers is perfectly plausible. He places less reliance upon commerce destroyers. it is said, than upon bat tleships. Vessels of this type heavily armored and provided with powerful ordnance and well-trained men, repre- sent his conception of the practical. In this many people will agree with him. Fast cruisers have their value, but the real capacity of a navy is to be found in its fighting strength. How soon this strength may be tested no one can predict But the words of the London Spectator on this point are perhaps worth considera tiol. We may be sure observes that friendly critic, that Germany will only re- spect the Monroe Doctrine as long as she feels that she is too weak at sea to challenge il. When she thinks herself the stronger in ironclads she will 'calT the American fleet" Then

HE SAVED A HEAVY DOCTOR BILL

Office of the County Assessor of Mari copa County, Phoenix, Arizona. Aug 29 1901. Mezsrs. Brown & Miller: few weeks ago my wife was taken severely i'll with strongly marked symptoms of typhoid pneumonia. Her tempera- ture was 1O3 degrezs and her lungs seemed to be congested. accompanied with severe pains. Her condition was really alarming. I procured a box of Adaxuka and administered them oc- cording to directions and in fifteen hours the fevsr was broken and her re- cove1y was rapid from that time. An astonishing amount of matter was dis charged from her lungs after the fever subsided. I firmly believe AdaXuka saved her from a very serious illness which. judging from the violence of the symptonis. would probably have proven fatal.
 In grateful recognition of the merits of Adaxuka, I recommend its use in all cases of fevers. in the firm belief that it will do all that is claimed for 1t. I have also successfully administered this really wonderful remedy to chil- dren of my neishbors who were very sick with malarial fever; one of them, who could keep nothing on it's stomach had its fever broken in about eighteen hours. and immediately developed a hearty appetite. In no case did the fever return.
 Every person who has the welfare of his family at heart should keep a box of this wonderful remedy on hand for emergencies.
 Very truly.

KING pAvlp,s SOLDIERS.
The Great Ruler Established an Admir-
able Military system.

The Great Ruler Established an Admir-
able Military system.
The kingdom OF Israel in the time
of David embraced territory about
equal to the state of Massachusetts, and
had population nearly the same as
that of New York-6.0O 200 or more.
That 1t was able to dominate the ter
ritory between the Mediterranean and
the Euphrates and from Damascus 10
the Gulf of Arabia, with powerful
neighbors pressing upon it from all
sides, was due to the military genius
OF David and the admirable military
system established by him. In 1t is
found not only the germ but the full
development of the modern system OF
universal military service as applied in
Germany and France. Its fundamen-
tai principle was that recognized by
our great modern states, that every
able bodied man owes military service
to the state, which he must actually
pay for a certain period in peace ana
war. David transformed the Irregular
lied and effective army. This included
what we should now call landwehr
of 2SS,000 men, divided into twelve
corps of $4,000 men, each corps being
in time of peace called into active SER
vice for one month in the year, so that
there were always $4,000 men in camp.
In war acquisitions were made on this
force as needed and the troops were
placed under the command OF gen
eral of tried courage and ability, be-
longing to a specially trained military
body peculiar to the kingdom OF
Israel
When David was driven to such ex-
tremeties by the unexpected rebellion
of his son Absalom and had fled across
Jordan, a wanderer in the wilderness
of Judea, he secured his final triumph
by means of his bodyguard all thor
ough soldiers, trained for duty as Of
icers. Through their instrumentality
the new levies were rapidly organized
into companies, regiments and bri-
gades. 1t is interesting to note that
the march of Absalom when he led
his great army across Jordan against
his royal father. was through the
wood of Ephraim," wild tract neal
the mountains of Gilead. resembling
in it's physical features the Virgins
Wilderness" where Grant and Lee
tried conclusions. The position hello
by David was like that of Lee on the
Rapidan and Absalom in marching
through the wood of Ephraim" an
ticipated by nearly 5000 years Grant:
movements of May and 6, 1864. The
strategy of Joab, who commanded thu
hosts of David. was precisely that o
Lee, he hurting three strong columns
on Absalom's line of march.-Chicag'

Lightning struck the tent of circus
in Eau Claire, Wis, killing one ele-
plant and injuring two others. The
bolt struck the menagerie tent just be-
fore o'clock, when about fifty men
and boys were in the tent. Five ele-
plants, a dozen ponies, and two men
were knocked over. Ella, the trick ele-
plant, got up first and then fell dead.
Barker, the trainer, says she died of
fright. There was a heavy rain storm
at the time and almost incessant thun-
der and when the four other elephants
revived they were managed with diff
ficulty. Ella was eight years old and
was bought from Hagenback. The 9th
er elephants were greatly distressed
and tried to revive the dead one by
slapping her with their trunks. One
poked hay into her mouth.

north of the Potomac, where the river
widens into Chesapeake bay. The air
line distance from the dome of the
capitol to the beach at Point Lookout
Is less than 80 miles, but, because nu-
merous small tributaries must be
avoided, the trolley road will be about
SO miles in length. The company is
capitalized for $1,000,000 In the days
before the war Point Lookout was a
favorite resort. 1t was the ante-bellum
Atlantic City. The hotels along the
beach then ranked as among the finest

senators, ambassadors, and even presi-
dents, sought relief from official cares
at this ideal place, which was a win

Alleged Process OF Preserving Butter

Alleged Process OF preserving butte"
In the endeavor to find something
that will save time, be cheap, and neu-
tralize the effect of dirt in the milk,
many milk men are hoping and wish

cheap, chemist proof and sure death to

ton. II every handler Of milk would
tack up in the northeast corner OF his
memory the fact that any compound
that will poison bacteria will also poi
son man, there would be more pure
milk, less court fines, and general i'm
provement all around. The following
is an official report on a much lauded
and wonderful compound that was go
ing to revolutionize the dairy business,
a few months since:
Consul Freeman, Copenhagen, under
date of April %, 1901, says:
81 am in receipt of so many inquiries
from the United States in regard to the
reported discovery OF a new and sue
cessful process for preserving butter
meat, eggs, ETC., that am led to sug-
gest that notice be given in the Consul
lar Reports that the so-called discovery
is a failure. The alleged inventor APP
piled for patent, but his application
was rejected. The sealed package OF
butter which was presented as a test
of the process bore notary's certifi-
cate as having been sealed up in 1900
but it was proved that the butter had
been preserved only few weeks-the
date, February, 1901, having been sur
reptitiously changed to read February
1900. "-Hoard's Dairyman.

Preparing the wheat Field.

At this time of year farmers are
blowing for fall wheat or preparing 70
do so. The ground is perhaps little
hard at this time for the plow to DO
good work, but the rains that have
now fallen should go far to preparing
Che land for the operation. II makes a
vast deal of difference about the con-
dition of the land as to the ease OF
blowing, and it will pay every farmer
TO take advantage of the conditions
when they are right. The saving to
the horses is no small factor. When
the ground is in right condition for the
best work to be done the moisture in
il is sufficient to make 1t easy to cut
but not enough to make 1t stick to the
pillow. :,
That the seed bed shouia be well
prepared is the consens,is of opinion
among all cultivators. Pulverization
is necessary If the soil is to be made
capable of giving the best returns.
Poor blowing and poor preparation
generally is responsible for much of
the shortage in the wheat crops. 1t is
evident that IL the land be left in clods
the soil in the clod will not be reached
by the air, and the elaboration of plant
food will not go on SO rapidly as will
be the case where the whole Is broken
to pieces. Even IL the roots of the
wheat plant succeed in penetrating the
clods the amount of food found therein
will be less than III other and better
prepared soil.
When the wheat field is to be ma
nured before being plowcd, 1t is better
to put on the manure, spread and pow
it under at once. This will incorpo
rate it with the soil. If permitted u
lie on top of the ground for a consid
cradle time it will dry in Jumps, which
cannot be readily incorporated with
the soil, or IL incorporated will not mi'
evenly with 1t.

Poultry Briefs.


In the presence of the writer one
farmer said: Il have the latest hens
in the country and they lay the few
est eggs of any; they have the run
OF my corn cribs" Too many hens
have the run of the corn cribs, and
are not only spoiled for present use
fulness, but are likely to transmit the
same quality to their offspring.
1t is certain that more heterogeneous
material should be fed. AS one ex-
perimenter says: 1T is quite probable
that no general rule applicable to all
cases can be determined, for possibly
the ration best suited for the produc-
ton of broilers, which are forced as
rapidly as possible until they reach a
suitable market size, may not be best
for the production of breeders in
which vigor and strength are prime
essentials" In other words, 1t Is
possible to feed to birds destined as
broilers more corn than to bird des-
tined to produce eggs.
A correspondent asks how roup al
fects birds. The principal symptoms
are fever and watery secretions about
the eyes and nose. The fever will not
naturally be noticed unless attention
is called to it by the other symptoms.
In some cases the head swells and the
eyes are closed by the swelling of the
lids. There are at least two distinct
diseases we call roup. One OF them is
OF a catarrhal nature and occurs in the
winter, spring and late fall. This dis
ease is successfully doctored, so some
poultry men report The other occurs
during any part of the year, but is
| often most destructive during the hot
weather. In this disease few OF the
/ birds show a swelled head or little
symptoms about the head. In fact
many birds we have seen die from this
kind of roup, indicated it only by
very high fever and diarrhoea. 1t Is
a very contagious disease, and can be
fought best by prevention.
