WHO'S WHO?

Don't tell your hard luck stories, For no one cares to know Why you have made a failure Why you havn't made things go. The man they honey up to
 Is the one who knows no fail; And the fellow who was never known To tell hard luck tale. Don't try to find excuses
 If things don't come your way. Keep on doing the best you can And don't have much to say. Nothing counts for or against us Except what we ourselves do. The fellow who never writes failure That's the only one who's who. The fellow who wins the battle
 Must feel he is going to win; The man who always expects defeat Is beaten before he starts in. No matter how often you've fallen, How often your efforts fell through If you win at the end of the battle, You'll find you're the one who's
 who.
 Don't be ashamed to keep trying, Don't get discouraged and stop. The fellow who keeps on plugging Is the one who comes nearest the top. Clinch your teeth tighter, brother, Be loyal, and honest, and true, The world will quickly take notice That you are the one who's who.

LETTER FROM PROF. CURETON

GUANAJUATo, Mexico, Feb. s. EDITOR NEWS: With your permis- sion I should like to say few words in favor of the elm tree. Of course there are other trees, but after due experimenting l feel that the elm is best adapted to the changeable late spring climate of Williams.
 We planted three elms in the western part of the school yard here last April and two of them made growth of over two feet. That is good enough for any temperate climate for the first year. But to get this growth the trees must be planted and pruned in the right way. We dug holes from two to three feet in diameter and nearly two feet deep. We then put in the tree without bending any of the roots and filled the hole nearly full of soil or surface dirt. Next, we put in about five gallons of water. after which we filled the hole to a level with the ground. Then we took a sharp knife and cut all the branches off the tree. This pruning is absolutely necessary and the more you cut off the better for the tree I have seen hundreds of elm trees planted without branch on them. They resembled hoe handles stick ing up from the ground. l have seen the same trees two years later with fine tops on them. Ii the ground is dry after the tree is planted, about five gallons of water should be used once a week. Dur ing the summer small shoots will start near the ground. Pull these off while tender.
 Follow these directions and you will have shade trees. Yet there are few yards in town toq wet even for the elm. The willow should be used in these.
 further suggest that you attend the Arbor Day exercises and tree planting at the public school. It would not be bad idea for you to order your trees when the school makes it's order. Arbor Day is a good time for planting the elm in Northern Arizona. But for fear you do not get around in time, l will give the address of the place this school has, for two years past, made it's orders-C. J. Bacon, Santa Fe Nursery, Santa Fe, N. M.
 "Woodman, spare the tree!
 Touch not a single bought
 In youth it sheltered me
 And I'll protect it now.
 Twas my forefather's hand
 That placed it near this cot;
 There, woodman, let it stand;
 Thy ax shall harm it notw

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Additional minutes from March

Additional minutes from March 1, 1909:
 Claim of Dr. L. B. Stookey, for $175, for professional services ren- dered Coconino county in case of Territory vs. Barbara England was not allowed
 The board passed the following resolution and instructed the clerk to forward a copy to Hon. Ralph H. Cameron, delegate to congress:
 Whereas, the United States gov ernment, in the fall of the year 1908, made certain allotments of land to the Navajo Indians (which allotments have not been confirm ed) in the territory south of the Little Colorado river, just east of and contiguous to the Grand Cam yon forest reserve, and north of the San Francisco Mountain forest re- serve, which said allotment surround and cut off approach to these cer- tain water holes known respectively as the 'Tappan Springs the Old Al Winter Camp and Poverty Tank and,
 Whereas, it appears that the water of said Tappan springs water hole was duly appropriated by one Fred Bauer in the year 1896, and has, since said time; been sold and transferred to one Hugh Anderson; that the water of the said Old Al Winter Camp was duly appropri- ated by one R. R. Gleason in the year 1903, and has since said time been sold and transferred to Hugh Anderson; and that the water of said Poverty tank was appropri- ated by Hugh Anderson in the year 1906, and
 "Whereas, it appears that said Hugh Anderson has for the past four years paid taxes on said water rights, and, with other cattle rais- CTS in the community, has had the continuous use of same, and,
 "Whereas, it appears that that range, supporting some 5000 head of cattle, in the territory above mentioned, is dependent upon said three water holes, and that, unless such water holes are allowed to remain open and accessible, stock men in the community will be de- prived of the use of said range, and the same will become useless, now, therefore be 1t
 Resolved, that the condition of affairs be brought to the inn mediate attention of the secretary of the interior, with the request that he take such action in the premises as will give relief, and preserve to the cattle raisers in this commity the benefit of such winter range; and be it further
 Resolved, that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Hon. Ralph Cameron, territorial dele gate, at Washington, D. C., and that he be requested to present the matter to the secretary of the in- terior, and use all means in his power to get favorable and prompt action by the authorities"

THE STORY OF ST. PATRICK

It is a pity that the noble life of the patron saint of Ireland should be so little known beyond his birth day elebration every March 17th. St. Patrick was a hero whose life was full of romance and adventure. as well as of self-sacrificing labors for the land of his adoption. His birthplace is not certainly known, but is scredited to part of Italy near Nice, which now belongs to France. As boy, however, he lived in the region of the River Clyde, in Scotland, near the town of Kill patrick We know that his ances- tors were among the first to well come Christia anity into Britain and that his father was a deacon he himself left on record.
 The boy kept his fathers sheep upon the lonely moor, where they would have become the prey of wild beasts without great watchfulness. When he was in his sixteenth year he went out with his sheep and did not return to his home until six long years had passed. Then it must have been like return from the dead to his grieving parents, although they had known, alasl too we'll, what had happened to him. For it was not an uncommon thing to have bands of pirates make raids from their ships upon the exposed country, carrying away to be slaves to the Irish chieftains who led so wild life across the sea.
 The petty chief who was his mas ter set him to keeping hogs by day. By night he was chained within the shelter of mud cabin, through the roof of which he watched the stars and prayed to the God of his fathers for himself and the ignorant people by whom he was surround ed. A great pity sprung up in his breast as he watched their idola- trous worship and beheld the tyranny of their Druid priests. This pity, however, did not prevent his hopes of escape, which at last became possible, and he made his way alone through the morasses to the sea, finally working his ships passage to his Scotland home.
 But when the joy of the reunion had been tasted and the thought of his former surroundings rested heavily upon the young mans soul, San Patricio determined to fit him self for preaching. After years spent in study at the best schools in France, he went to Rome, where to his great joy he received-prob- ably in the year 431 A. D.-a com mission to preach in Ireland. At the end of many years of heroic labor he could count 365 churches founded and more than 12,OOO persons baptized by his own hand. He did not die until the land had been cleansed from the darkest of it's superstition and cruelty and a new civilization begun, the benefits of which still keep green the memory of Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland.

You needn't be afraid.

One day a lady who had been reared
in the careful luxury of the oldfashioned
Virginia home was invited to visit the
kitchen of a great Chicago hotel. She
wanted to 60, but was afraid. When
asked why, she replied, "I'm afraid I'll
see something that will forever destroy
my appetite for hotel food" She went,
and found everything delightfully."- clean.
Good housewives consider cleanliness
and purity first of all ; that's why Quaker
Oats is their choice among all oatmeals.
In making Quaker Oats the grain IS
sifted and resifted, passing through more
than fifty processes of cleaning before it
Is cooked and rolled.
If you took handful of oats and
scrubbed and polished and wiped each
separate grain, ii wouldn't then be nearly
as clean as Quaker Oats. No human
hand ever touches single grain OF
Quaker Oats from the field to your
kitchen. The best advice on foods you
could have is; Eat Quaker Oats every
morning for breakfast
This wonderful food is sold in three
kinds of packages. The regular package
at 1Oc. The large size family package
at Csc, and the large size family package
containing fine piece of table china
at 30c.

AN ANCIENT RACE DYING OUT.
The Veddshs of Ceyion Regarded as
Representing the stone Age.

The veddahs of Ceyion Regarded as
Representing the stone age.
The oldest Inhabitants OF Ceyion are
passing away These are the famous
Veddahs
Fifty years ago it was estimated
that 5000 OF them were still living in
the forests, but Dr.. Max Noszkowski,
who has recently visited them, says
there are ONLY fifty or sixty of them
still alive, and that a few years more
will see the end OF their race.
The Veddahs have interested an
thropologists because they have been
regarded as the best living types OF
the man of the stone age.
The attitude OF the Cingalese
toward them is remarkable. They hold
the poor creatures in great honor and
rank them as belonging to the high
est caste in the island. The reason is
that they are reputed TO have descend
ed from the ancient demons or spirits
that were the original possessors OF
the island
These nomadF hunting people, never
leaving their forests, living under
trees and in caves, without knowledge
OF pottery OF any other art except that
OF making bows and arrows, are per-
ishing because of their way of living
and of their inability to stand up
when stronger folk are pressing closer
around them They are exactly what
they were centuries ago when people
of India came and conquered their
green island.
