When an Office girl takes pity on a
stray cat she usually goes out, buys
nickeps worth of pickles and then
wonders why the cat is so ungrateful
as not to eat them.
To those who cannot understand,
many things are impossible.
Everything is gamble in this world
even the fee that you pay the
preacher for marrying you. Some
men invest SO in matrimony and find
fortune; others have to "sweeten
the pot for years and years and never
get their bait backi
We often hear that such and such
book isn't worth the paper on which

A woman is as old as she looks
after the leaf has been torn from the
family Bible.
When a woman says she is breaking

DRY FARMING CONGRESS.

The board of supervisors of this
county has appointed a delegation of
citizens to attend the dry farming
congress which will meet at Salt
Lake on the 22nd of he present
month. It is to be hoped that some
of the delegates named by the board
viii find it possible to be present at
the meeting of the congress.
In Arizona there are large areas
where, no doubt, under the dry farm
ing process important crops could be
produced and in the entire territory
there is no county where the new
system of cultivation. would be more
likely TO bring good results than in
Cochise. In the Sulphur Springs
valley there are many thous-
and acres of land lying between Doug
las and Wilcox which would no doubt
be found to be ideal for the dry
farmer.
1t is only recently that we heard
much about dry farming, but already
has it been made so successful in
some parts of the arid country that
it has attracted widespread attention
and is being closely watched by the
agricultural department of the gov
eminent
During the past year, on the
ranches near Douglas, there was pro-
duced great deal OF vegetable pro
ducts practically without any irriga-
ton and a large amount which only
received very meager supply of ar
tificiaI irrigation. With such seasons
as we have had during the last three
years we. have no doubt bounteous
crops could be produced in this vi
cinity and successful dry farming
would be worth more to Douglas as
a source of wealth and trade support
than the smelling industries now
here
If there is a city in Arizona hav-
ing special interest in the process OF
dry farming that city is Douglas, be-
cause of the vast amount of fertile
soil surrounding it which could be
made to supply homes for many
thousands of prosperous farmers.

ANOTHER ROOSEVELT
VICTORY.

The two controversial sermons
President Roosevelt has just delv-
cred TO the public, with Admiral
Brownson as a text. are as good as
his average. He has preached better
and he has preached worse. What he
says of the benefit and beauty of pa
triotism, loyalty and other virtues is
very well in it's way and no one will
object to it on its own account.
He uses is as president of the Unit
ed States, however, to put on the per-
manent records of the government a
veteran admiral, hitherto blameless.
The occasion is a difference of opin-
ion over a trivial routine detail The
question is only of whether on a hos
pitai ship the man who knows how
to manage the ship best as ship or
the man who knows best how to man
age it as a hospital ought to be in
nominal control The president had
one opinion, the admiral another. BY
a stroke of the pen the president set
tied the matter with the admiral, as
the admiral knew he could do. The
admiral being thus disposed of, the
trivial differences of official opinion
might have been forgotten soon, with
the admiral suffering officially and
sufficiently for asserting an opinion
it was his right and duty to assert,
even against the president, if he
thought himself right and was pre-
pared to take the consequences by
surrenderng official position.

Under the title Tears of joy
George Friederici writes to a Berlin
paper that the custom Of weeping and
bowling on all occasions Of great joy
was general among the early inhabH
ants of America" and that in many
tribes visited by him in South America
the approved form of welcome was
still to weep. Tears of welcome" he
says, are also shed by the natives of
the Caribbean Islands and by the
Sioux. Algonquins and other North
American Indians. From all that l
have seen. l judge that in times past
tears and joy were inseparable and
that the emotion which civilized peo-
pie now display at parting was once
the expression Of hearty welcome"

What is patriotism? Is it narrow

we tread entitled to this ardent prefer

virtue, and it scars higher for its oh

and terror. but the venerable image

as sacred. He is willing to risk his
life in its defense and is conscious that
he gains protection while he gives it.
