Sharpe and saw pile of ore sacked up that was estimated at fifteen or twenty thousand dollars by those around him.
 Then they went on to Bouse and up to Swansea where he said he saw a hole in the ground 24O feet deep which seemed to be going straight to the place where copper is originally made. Anyhow they are putting up big shelter at Swansea to work the ore. Returning to BOuse they went to see the Little Butte mine where Denton's men are taking out copper ore with a gold by-product of $50 a ton and the miners are most of them putting a third of their wages into stock. T don't know anything about mines" said AIr. Vandegrift, but that western Arizona country makes me wish I did and I can fully appreciate what its development means for this section. I know they have a lot of gold and copper for I saw it."
 But speaking of the country gener- ally, MT. Vandegrift said he was more interested in something esle than the gold and copper, for there is a vast undeveloped resource out there that he does know something about and that is the great valley of the Colo rado below Parker, now held back from settlement and development by the government for the sole reason that it is on the reservation of the Colorado Mohave Indians, a dirty lazy lot that now only cultivate n;r af This country ought to be, some day must be, developed and the water for it must come from the river, He said he was informed that a private corporation has a bill in congress to secure 1t a site for power and light plant and that there is only one site in that vicinity and that the reclama- ton service ought to get busy and utilize it before somebody else gets it and has to be bought out. He was very enthusiastic about the pos abilities of that section both in agri- culture and in mining, and that makes it timely to tell who MT. Van degrift is.
 He is a travelling newspaper cor respondent and the managing editor of The Earth, the Santa Fe maga- zine devoted to the upbuilding of the southwest, and of which this valley already knows a great deal. It knows it both for the good work it has done for the valley already, due in large part to the efforts of Mrs. Mar jorie L. Russell, the editor, who se- cured the matter for the last August issue which was devoted entirely to this valley, and who is here now to duplicate her former work. Mrs. Rus sell is looking after that work en- tirely and Mir. Vandegrift has an en- tirely different mission. Their being here at the same time is merely CO., incidental MT. Vandegrift has number of irons in the fire, though mans job to boss The Earth.
 He does considerable special writ ing and also publishes Santa Fe folders from time to time. This visit is to procure data for an Arizona folder and he says that while the agricultural resources are the chief features of folder exploitation, he proposes to save a corner this time for Arizona's gold and copper mines.
 Mr Vandegrift will look over the valley for a day or two, then leave for Yuma and from there he will go to San Diego and thence to the San Joaquin valley, having in mind the preparation of folders for both of those sections.

 CRIMINAL VANDALIsM-There is a cult of small boys in this com munity who are spending entirely too much time in doing things they think are funny, but which on the contrary are more vicious perhaps than the boys themselves imagine. Reference is made to the breaking down, injury and destruction of the young trees recently planted in the Evergreen ad dition. The value of trees is prob ably not appreciated by these mis- chievous urchins and any older per son who catches them in their law Iessness should properly impress them even if it be necessary to cause their arrest until they can be made to un- derstand the gravity of their mis- conduct. Trees mean too much for the beautifying of the city and the growth of year or two means too much to all who are interested in the city's welfare, to allow such vandal- ism to continue.

Truck Farming

THE rancher who goes in for small
 farming,-truck gardening-On the
 Highland Ranch should make a handsome profit. The fertility of this soil, abundance of water, ideal climate and close proximity to several home markets paying good prices the year around, makes the Highland Ranch the best buy for the truck gardener in the Salt River Valley. If you can make the initial start, do your own de veloping, the land ought to earn all pay ments after the first, and bring you in a good living.

Sugar Beets

~ UGAR BEETS will bring the rancher D big returns on the Highland Ranch.
 The soil comprises the famous loess and sandy loam. Water is plentiful. Ele- vation perfect. A beet sugar factory only three and one-half miles distant pays good prices for all the rancher can raise. Land here will produce from F to 15 tons to the acre annually, or at an average price about $76 an acre. This means a profit of almost half to the acre. The leaves and pulp of the sugar beet are excellent feed for cattle

FOOD QUESTION
Settled with Perfect Satisfaction by
a Dyspeptic.

It's not an easy matter to satisfy all
the members of the family at meal
time as every housewife knows.
And when the husband has dyspep-
STA and can't eat the simplest ordinary
food without causing trouble, the food
question becomes doubIy annoying.
An Illinois woman writes:
MY husbands health was poor, he
had no appetite for anything l could

HE was hardly able to work, was
taking medicine continually, and as

Tired of everything I had been able
to get for him to eat, n day seeing
an advertisement about Grape-Nuts,
got some and tried it for breakfast the
next morning.
I'VE all thought it was pretty good
although we had no idea of using 1t
regularly. But when my husband came
home at night he asked for Grape
Nuts.
1T was the same next day and
had to get it right along, because when
we would get to the table the question
Have you any Grape-Nuts' was a reg
ular thing. So I began to buy it by
the dozen pkgs.
MY husbands health began to i'm

When to Send Children to Europe.

Some people wait so long before
sending their children to Europe that
the little ones are Inundated by others
who have already been there. Every
self-respecting parent will be careful
not to subject his children. to this evil
dent injustice; at the same time all
ulseemly hurry is to be avoided.
Some people argue that as soon as a
child can walk we'll and speak a few
necessary French words, he should be
placed in a stateroom, next to a
private bath, and sent to Paris. 9th
ers feel that he must naturally lose
much at this age, and that the proper
time is between five and six, when
as an American-he has reached his
maturity.
Probably the ideal age is about four.
At four a child can easily do England,
France and Italy, and get home in
time for the first night at the opera

Smothered Chicken,

For this dish select good sized broil-
ers, single, split down the back and
clean them. Wipe dry and arrange
neatly flesh side uppermost in a drip
ping pan. For each chicken allow a
quarter of a pound of butter cut into
bits and three tablespoonful of boil
ing water. Sprinkle each with salt and
pepper, put over the butter, pour the
water into the pan and cover closely
to keep in all the steam. A good sized
chicken will require about one hours
cooking in a hot oven; when half done
turn over and finish on the other side;
it should be a rich golden color, not
brown. Arrange on a heated platter,
spread thickly with butter, sprinkle
