BAcK-TO-THS-FARh STORY.

STORY.
 one of the most interesting back to-the-farm stories that has appeared in useny days is told in the Farm CTS Bulletin No. 4s2. recently issued ey the United States department oi agriculture.
 Briefly. the facts stated in this bull ietln are that a lawyer in a city of the Middle West found himself at the age of 60 in ill health and was told by his physician that he could not hope for more than a year of life unless he made a radical change of occupation. It was a serious propo- sition. The lawyer was making sSOo0 year in the city. He had a large family, a wife and ten children. rang ing in age from ? to 2L He did not know anything about farming, but he decided to buy farm. He had put away about ,1O.OOO for a rainy day, and with this money he purchased 300 acres of rundown land in the Shenandoah valley, which had on il a big house, about 100 years old and Tn need of repairs. The barns and fences likewise were dilapidated and the gross income from the place was only s7O0 a year. In buying the farIn and stocking it the lawyer went pretty deeply in debt, bue he has pulled out handsomely.
 At present the farm is worth about s4O,OOO. is well equipped and well kept, and the house is supplied with practically all the conveniences of city life. The owner IS nearly so years old, but he is better in health than when he left the city at 60. His big family of children has been edu- cated at a cost of s1O,OOO, and the farm has paid for it. He has pur- chased so additional acres of land and has paid for 1t, and in 1909 the farm yielded a profit of more than 5000.
 The bulletin issued by the agricul- tural department goes into details as 10 how the farm was conducted There was no scientific farming about 1t. The lawyer who had turned farmer at 60 was the veriest greenhorn in matters agricultural, but he made good by energy and wise management He worked sys- tematicalIy and he kept a careful account of his income and his out go. The story as told in the depart. ment bulletin is interesting in every
 line. and 1t is an Illuminating eS position of the possibilities of agri cultural life-even to one who has had no previous experience in sucl affairs. It will be of especial yaluC to persons who from necessity or de sire are contemplating a back-to-the
 soil movement. Any farmer, neal
 farmer or would-be farmer will finS
 something to interest him in Bul

 Fifteen Are Dead.

 An automobile brought out of Agua Prieta one woman who had teen shot in the head. Dead ae companied the wounded as vehicles poured over the :ine into Douglas. At the Copper Queen hospital every cot was filled. Here ten are rest ing. At the Calumet hospital also every cot is filed The wounded number, counting Americans. about sixty.

 News from Naco last night was to the effect tha5 people on the Mexican side were scared over re- ports of approaching rebels and were moving over to the American side. Whether this was due t1 reports from Douglas, or to actual approach of rebels. could not be learned last night.

Enactments upon the statute books that are not supported by public opinion are not worthy to be called laws. Either they are not enforced at all, in which case they are no better than so much waste paper, or if they are enforced they become offensive.-George B. Mcclellan

 Photographic reports from Mexicali tell of the practical destruction of the Stanley Williams band of Ameri- cans in an attack upon the Mexican federals. and state that Williams was nortally wounded. If this band was allied with the insurrectos it was self-alegisnce. for the insurrectos have denied such an allegiance with the Americans and have disowned the band. according to statements re ceived. This would seem to be borne out by the fact that the party of eighty-hve was permitted to go alone to attack the federals and given no support in the movement by the Mexican insurgent forces. The band that is reported as practically exterminated is the one that made raids last week on the ranches of American citizens residing in Mex leo, which resulted in a request upon the American troops on this side O. the line for protection. The Mexican insurgents have almost universally respected the rights of foreigners, but such respect was not shown by Williams and his followers. The az gressiops of this band and the re- port that they purposed establishing a socialistic republic on Mexican soil reused bitterness among the Mexi- cans of both factions and retrograded to the disadvantage of other Ameri- cans. Little sympathy for them is tlikely to be heard now that they have met the fate that was to be anticipated for them.

 eft in the hands of the territorial board of control
 Tine question of county supervision of this territorial road work to our mind should be one of the subjects for consideration of the good roads Not that the direction of the work should be taken out of the hands of the territorial engin- eers, but give to boards of super visors, some say in the matter Of location and in the matter of passing on contract work. for which the local taxpayers supply the money to pay for.
 We are informed that the board of supervisors of this county received D snub because they presumed to ask for copies of the specification and contract for that part of the territorial road now being construc ed between Bisbee and Douglas. We hope that the counties will be give' the right to be heard. at least, II .he matter of building roads fo. Rhica the counties provide the pa,
 Congressman Underwood of the committee on ways and means of the lower house of congress. has intro duced a bill putting a large number of articles now protected by a tariff duty on the free list. These articles were selected as those which would be of special benefit to the farmers of the country. It may be presumed that his bill will be passed by the democrats of the house and sent promptly to the senate. It will then remain to be seen whether the in surgent republicans will join the democrats in sending the measure to the president, or whether they will go back to the ranks of the regulars and stand pat. There is nothing certain about what an insurgent re publican will do. except that he will talk everlastingly.
 The Gazette Is giving all the credit for what has occurred in Washington recently to Akers and in a long article yesterday filled with fulsome praise for the mighty ac complishments in the national capital by Akers. Avis and O'Neil this Akers paper does not even mention George ". P. Hunt. president of the con stituuonal convention, who is alsc in Washington doing what he can ts assist in the matter of Arizona's sG mission. It is evidently the intentioE of Akers to shove everybody of ths statehood board but himself. It l. known that it has been Akers' life ambition to become governor o. Arizona, and this may account for the attempt to put Mir Hunt in the background. whereas it is generally believed that the great handicap which Hunt will have to contend with is his close herding with Akers dur ing the last six months.
 The Globe silver-Belt Is making a fight for the reform and purihcatiol of conditions in Globe. That city has been one of the most .brazenly iwide-open spots in the Southwest and any attempt to bring within the lines of deceney meets a mighty howl of those who are responsible for past conditions We are sur lprised that George Hun. will permit his Globe to take the side of th, Ilawless and corrupt of that city while he poses everywhere else ii the territory as one of the mos progressive reformers ever.

The Daily Globe in it's Issue O; Friday states that Dr. James Doug las gave up his trip of inspection to Nacozari because of insurrecto ac- tivity in the vicinity. On the day this was published Dr. Douglas was in Nacozari, whence he returned Sat urdsy. and on his return stated that he felt much less anxiety on his trip than he had frequently felt in the earily days of his Southwest ern experiences. for he has been in the Northern Sonora country nazy times, and as far back as 1880. The Globe mistakes conditions in the vicinity of Douglas, for no one st, tending to business along the NasO- zari railroad is or has been in dsn- ger of any molestation.
 In spite of the Daily Globe I. looks like those citizens of Globe who favor decency will finally pre- vail. The Silver Belt is dong 8 splendd work n pulling the mask from present disgraceful conditions.
  It is amusing to see the Gazette ignoring Hunt and the Daily GloNe ignoring Akers. The former is owned by Akers and the latter Hunt. G lit, boys

As compared with the normal for
