ANCIENT JOKES.
Some That Have Amused the World
For Thousands of Years,

sH0dodh1S ~ SoTo
Age cannot wither some stories,
and the oldest joke on record is re-
lated in n of the Berlin papyri of
the sixth Egyptian dynasty (about
5000 B. c., and it should not be
overlooked that in the days when
the world was young a tale enjoyed
centuries of verbal currency before
it was inscribed in permanent form.
According to the papyrine, a GER
tain scribe who worked for the tenn
pie Of Thoth occupied apartments
where his neighbors on either side
we're a %coppersmith and a carpenter,
respectively. These honest artisans
we're exemplary specimens of indus
try, and kept up such a row all day
and most of the night that the poor
scribe was almost driven mad. At
last, by a stroke Of craftiness, he
buttonholed each neighbor sepa-
rately and bribed them to change
their lodgings, which they did-with
n another. This tale has kept
the world amused for 5000 years
we often meet with it now-and it
never seems to have occurred to
anybody to wonder why the scribe
did not change his own lodgings;
but perhaps his rent was in such
arrears, as sometimes happens to
other literary gentlemen, that it
was cheaper to bride the two work
men.
Another perennial that runs the
above hard for first place in point
of age is that of the man who goes
to buy some weighty article and
carries it on his shoulder to save
firing the horse he is riding. This
story in the comic papers of today
is usually tackled on to an %unfortu-
nate Irishman or old dame from the
country.
Coming to classic times, the most
celebrated hardy annual which took
its rise then now usually appears
in this guise: A man went into a
cookshop for dinner, but was kept
waiting so long while the wner
dished it up that the perfume of
the meat took his appetite away

timed beef, by the bye-and he

anything. The proprietor, how
ever, thought he ought to pay for
the price of a square meal, and the
question was referred to the village
idiot, who happened along just
then. He decreed that as the one
disputant had been satisfied with
the smell of the food the other
should be paid by listening to the

Counting Their Drinks.

In the city of London in the
time of King John a special officer
was appointed by the corporation
to see that every vintner had hang
ing outside his shop an iron vessel
with pegs marking the different
quantities sold. And pegs were used
for convivial purposes, for the peg
marked the amount of liquor which
each of the party was to drink, and
the unlucky or greedy wight who
did not drink to pegs" was fined a
penny or sometimes pegs all

country, principally the midlands
and the north, a rough and ready

 A few wells in the vicinity of Willcox penetrate a he'd of dense, dark clay or shale lying at some depth below the ordinary valley fill.

The low cen tral tracts, where the vegetation consist of sal; grass and other alkali-resistant plants and where white crusts of salt or patches of black alkaIi form at the suffice, shoull not be cultivated But out side of these tracts lies large area of good soil in which the depth 10 water Is not great and the water is in general of excellent quality.
 Pumping for irrigation is prob. ably practicable for considerable areas of land where ground water lies within 50 feet of the surface. At some favored points, where the
 lift is moderate and where the soil is good, the ground water may perhaps be pumped and used as an ordinary irrigating supply; but with small plants, costly fuel, and imperfect farming methods this kind of pumping will usually be found too expensive. Without doubt the most advantageous use If pumped water is to supplement the rainfall conserved and utilized by dry-farming methods. For instance. the summer rains, begin. ming usually in July, are not early enough to start crop of corn i'll time to harvest before frost. By planting and irrigating the seed in
 May, however, corn, may be so far advanced by the time the summer rains tegin that it will then easily mature. Similarly, it may be found that a preliminary irriga- ton in the dry fall months will so greatly advance the growth of winter rcrops-such as wheat barley, and certain vegetabes-that the winter rainfall will carry them nearly or quite to maturity.

 find a route for transcontlnental railroad camped for few days at Croton Springs, in Sulphur Spring Valley, which was than known as Playa de las Pimas. In the same wear the Mexican boundary survey was carried through this region, but apparently the surveying party, in crossing the south end of the valley, found no watering place. After 1872, when the warIike In dians were brought partly under subiection, the valley was occupied by cattle n,hers. Within the last few years it has been invaded by large number of homeseekers, who, with remarkable faith, have established themselves on the de eert where it has so long been as sumed that agriculture of any sort would be impossible. Some have come intending to apply dry.farm- ing methods; others expect to irrigate with water from wells; still others hope to use the storm waters which at irregular intervals are poured in great volume across the valley. All find themselves surrounded by strange conditions and all are required to solve new and unfamiliar problems. Inevit. ably, under such conditions, there will be many costly mistakes and some failures. The settlers realize this keenly and are desirous of ob taining advice and guid lnce. ln view of this urgent neel the United States Geological Survey and the Arizona Agricultural Experiment Station have understa ken d cooper. auve investigation of the ground waters of the valley and their availability for irrigation. rhI- inve uigation was begun in SePtem Der, 1910, and will be completed during !he coming spring and sum mpr.
