Mountain Wine
By J. WATT HoGUE

There's wine in the mountains; 1t floats on
 the air, That ozonized ether which drives away care. It builds in the vision the great temples tall, Where music waits lightly thro' fancy $
 wierd hall Where eyes of fair ladies flash forth Cupid's
 gleam And lips sing prelude to life's pleasant
 dream. Then ones heart and ones hopes leap With
 life like the stag, Or rose tinted sunbeam on some lofty crag. Where the glint of its gold imparts pictures
 rare. To the mind heavy -burdened with dull busl-
 ness care. o this wine's rich and old with the cobwebs
 of time; It turks in the mountains and its vintage IS
 fine.
 arouses and flashes thrill thro the breast And changes keyed tension to calm soothing To sleep that is peaceful, to dreams which
 are sweet As an echo from cymbals in rhythmical beat Like faint chiming cymbal; like the swish
 of the pine, Comes the life giving ozone of old mountain
 wine.

FOR GLOBES SCHOOLS

The spirit recently shown by the board oil school trustees and Superintendent F. D. smith in calling public meeting for the consideration of plans for the betterment of the local system of education is most commendable.
 It is not unusual for people to entertain real or imaginary grievances against the methods used in the training of their children along lines laid down by the men selected to do that work. Sometime the dissatisfaction of parents with the conduct of the schools has some ground. More often, the objections put forth come near to being unreasonable for the simple reason that the parents and the school management have viewpoints widely at variance. For this reason, it is most desirable that the people believing they have ideas for improvement should have chance to offer suggestions at a public meeting and have the virtues or failings of them serious ly considered and discussed. In this way an op- portunity for the public to get in direct touch and sympathetic understanding with the school authorities is afforded. The result can not be otherwise than instructive and, therefore, bene ficial to those who attend these gatherings If, as is planned, the coming together of the people and those in charge of the schools becomes a regular monthly event, great good must surely come of it. Moreover the men who originated the idea deserve full credit for adopting course

of action that shows them to be fair minded and receptive to most commendable degree.
 The necessity of striving continually to im- prove our schools can not be made too prom inent, for accordingly as our children are we'll or poorly trained will we be able to expect from them effective work in the world when they come to maturity.
 The city of Tucson has recently hit upon a plan that is sure to have far-reaching infu- ence on prospective settlers in Arizona. The board of education of that city has asked the chamber of commerce to assist in getting out a trospectus of the public schools for circulation throughout the country. Inasmuch as an inn pression exists in nany parts Of the east that the schools of Arizona are not up to the gener- ally accepted standard, this plan of spreading accurate knowledge concerning the territory $ educational facilities is extremely credltabe and should, in time, correct an existing erroneous opinion And there is every reason why other Arizona cities should join in this work of tell ing the people of the states just what advantages they have to offer to the man with family who is seeking new fields in which to earn a com fortable living, and, at the same time, secure conditions favorable to the education of his children.

THE SOUTHWEST EDITORS

One of the most noteworthy features o1 the coming fair at El Paso from November l to I will be the proposed meeting of the editors and publishers of the southwest for the purpose of organizing a Southwestern Editorial associa ton. The object of this union of editors will be to make common cause for the advancement of the southwest.
 EI Paso at the time of the fair has been se- lected as the place of organizing for the reason that many of the newspaper owners and pub fishers of Arizona, Texas and New Mexico are already planning to attend the exposition. 1t will probably be possible on this occasion, there fore, to get together larger number of editors than could be readily assembled at any other time or place in the near future.
 In the whole United States there is, it is safe to say, no section equal in size to the southwest ern states that is better provided with news papers of desirable and servceable kind than is the region embracing Arizona, Texas and New Mexico and Southern California. The chief motive animating each of these papers IS to nromote the growth and civic welfare of the narticular district where it has its chief cir culation. But so far in the furthering of this worthy movement, there has been certain aD' sence of co operation which it will be the ain of the Southwestern Editorial association tc remedy.
 Whether the new organization accomphshes all that it desires or not, it will at least have the virtue of providing a medium ot exchange of ideas and of making possible the personal as sociaton of the various publishers. Thus, Cet ter feeling should be established merely by th' fostering of spirit of understanding between the heads of the different publications. Ant such an end can not be too highly commended For out of misunderstanding grow most or th' troubles that throw this old world into frequent confusion. And anything which tends toward union and amicable cooperation, and away iron dissension, is most emphaticaly worth while and should receive the hearty support of the people whom it is designed to help in the strug gle for desirable results Consequently, It l' hoped that with the successful carrying out o the activities attendant upon the holding ot th' Fl Paso fair, the organization of the editors anC publishers for the glorious purpose of boosting the industrial and civic causes of the grea southwest may come about

4 Municipal Experiment..
 The city of Grand Junction, Colo, has adopt ed new charter of interest to students of muni- cipal problems. It Itprovides for commission gov ernment; for the initiative, referendum, and re- call for popular approval of all franchise grants for the total exclusion of the liquor traffic; for the elimination of paving contracts, and for various other things. The most strik- ing of the additions, however, is the adoption of the Australian system of preferential voting. On the official ballot the candidates must be grouped according to the offices for which they are respectively named without partisan desig- nations, the individual voter being privileged to write in another name. Opposite the candi- dates names are columns wherein the voter may indicate his first, second and third choice The voter may thus indicate the entire order of his preferences as regards the whole list of candi- dates.

Houses in Trees.

Houses iH Trees.
 Many natives in the state of Guerrero, Mexico, live in trees, as protection against earth ouakes. Some of these tree homes are large and ingeniously constructed Reeds and grasses are interwoven with the twigs and branches of the tree, much in the manner that bird builds its nest. The severest wind seldom loosens these houses from the tree. Where the trees are large and stand closely together houses of two and three rooms are frequently built in their branches These houses also afford protection from the tigers and other wild animals, which are found in that region in large numbers It IS claimed that "tiger" will not attack its prey unless it is upon the ground. The prime object of elevating these houses into the trees, how ever, is to keep them from being shaken down by the severe earthquakes which visit the Guer- rero territory at frequent intervals.

Long -diStdRce Commuters
 It was Philadelphia who once held the record as New York commuter making the trip be- tween Manhattan and the Quaker City every morning and night. But this performance is surpassed by long-distance commuter from a town up state which is four hours from New York. He leaves at z, breakfasts on his restau- rant car and is in New York at his office by H. He starts home at 3:30, dimes on the train, and is home '. In his trips he is fortunate enough to catch the fast express trains, so he enjoys the luxuries indispensable to such travel He makes this journey every day except Saturdays and Sundays.

The Gems of Ceylon.

Wt UtWto UT OtUtUW. :
 A European syndicate has obtained control of the sixteen most productive mines of gems in Ceylon. These mines have been under the man. agement of natives, and have a romantic fame running back through many centuries Moon- stones, cats eyes, rubies, and sapphires are among the stones found in the island. The ruby, however, cannot compare with the rich, deep colored stones found in Burma, but the sap phire, it is stated, is found there in shades of color unknown in other parts of the world. In the oden days the native artifcers cut the star sapphires in peculiar fashion. But the secret of their art has been forgotten. There are at present no fewer than 3366 gem mines in the island.

It iwl open to tourists a beautiful coun- try in Southeastern France, hitherto inaccessi- ble save by mule-back. It's length will be about 300 miles, and its cost nearly $1,000,000 This new route to the Riviera will reach its highest point at the summit of the Col d'Iseran, from which superb view is obtained at an altitude of 9,085 feet, which beats the famous Stilfser Joch road on the Swiss Italian frontier, hither- to the highest in Europe, by just thirty five feet The road will traverse dozen of the most love ly and secluded Alpine valleys and pass over eight summits, each of respectable height!
