the United States get high school
education. The city child, when
it reaches the high school age,
must 60 to work; the country boy,
until very recently, has had no
high school to attend.
But with 800 high schools scat
tered throughout the State many
country boy or girl now has a
better chance of obtaining good
education than the city children
enjoy; for there is NO factory to en-
tee them, and most of the farm
work is done during the long vaca-
ton months.
When the schools open in Sep
TENDER or October, many parents
face the question: Shall l send my
boy or girl to the high school? II
you are such a parent, we hope
that you will answer in favor OF an
education for your child, Il may
mean sacrifice what else,
pray, does parenthood mean? But
in the end an education is the very
best thing that you can give your
children. "A Bulletin from the Co.
operative Educat on Association.
We believe that the people OF
Highland are opening their eyes as
never before along the lines above
referred to. This is indicated this
wear in the increased attendance CT
pupils in the County High School
at Monterey, where the facilities
and advantages are now equal to
those of any similar institution in
the State.
Last Saturday, not lsss than
twelve lady-teachers from distant
counties came here to take charge
of the various rural schools of
Highland. Some, and we trust all
of them. will prove to be compe-
tent and qualified, but it is a lot
terry business. With our young
people thoroughly interested in the
county high school, home teachers
can be provided, and this "home
production" will have an added
advantage in that something like
$4,000 paid now to nonresident
teachers will remain in the county.
To watch the educational machin-
ely grind is interesting, and one
would think that even the pupils
mind would be impressed by the
statewide painstaking effort put
forth to combat illiteracy and give
to every boy and girl at least the
best possible free school education.
What means the levying and col
lecting of vast school revnues and
the army of school officials and
teachers? Itmeans that ignorance
is a menace to, if not incompatible
with, good citizenship. There comes
a time in the life of every school
boy when the value of time and the
Importance of study and applica-
tons dawns on the mind. and it
would seem that a part of the
teachers work ought to be an effort
to arouse this intelligence early in
life. Now and then you will find
boy who, at IS, will unblushingly
admit that he is just "killing time"
Awful murder! Whose time is it?
Who is the loser? What does it
mean to him in after life?
Every parent ought to appreciate
the fact that conditions are so
much more favorable that in the
school day period of their lives,
and with zeal and determination
commensurate with the cor Sc
quences at issue, see that the golden
opportunities are improved.

BETTER LAND LAWS.

Through the passage of the enlarg-
ed homestead bill, the three year
homestead BILL and other measures
which have for their purpose more
liberal treatment of citizens who de-
sire to secure home on the public
domain, it is believed that the tide
of emigration to Canada will be
somewhat checked.
In all of the public land states there
has been dissatisfaction for a number
of years over the manner in which
the public land laws have been ad-
ministered. 1t has seemed as if the
intent had been to harass the settler
to such an extent that he would aban-
don his claim and let it revert to it's
original condition Then came the
cult of the conservationist, who de-
sired to prevent the passing of title
to individuals or corporations alto
gether, and who wanted, and still
wants, to create vast rent roll for
the government, the idea seemingly
being to give a bureauracy control
ity.
Now there is very natural reac-
ton. The government having dis
posed of its choicest public lands, ii
becomes necessary to make more rea-
sOnable regulations i'm order to induce
the masses to get "back ito the land"
Encouragement for the farmer is also
coming about as a result of the ex-
tensive work of the Agricultural De-
partment at Washington, and the
activities of it's trained scientists who
are working In all portions of the
country to help solve the problems OF
the farmer and fruit grower. Beside
all this, congress is beginning to look
with a more kindly eye on the need
of extending such protection as is af-
forded by the tariff to the farmers.
At one time the latter seemed to be
without the pale Now the farmer,
who made his voice heard when the
Canadian reciprocity treaty was ln-
der discussion, has compelled the
country to notice him, and in the flu
ture he will find little trouble in get
ting congress to listen to his pc
titions.

ROOSEVELT MAY
GET NOMINATION
Dwight 3. Heard, Arizona Member of
National Roosevelt Committee, Be-
Iieves Taft's Nomination Is Out of
the Question.

Hon. Dwight B. Heard, the Arizona
member of the national Roosevelt
committee, and who as member of
the national committee is closely in
touch with the political situation ex-
presses his views as follows:
''The present political situation is
naturally gratifying to the friends of
Colonel Roosevelt In those states
where the actual feeling of the peo-
pie has been obtained aus to their
presidential choice by a just method
of primaries, such as held in Illinois
and Pennsylvania, an overwhelming
demand for Roosevelt's progressive
leadership has been shown. Final re-
turns from Illinois show that Roose-
velt received over a quarter million
votes in that state, receiving 140,31S
votes more than the president and Sc
curing Sc out of So delegates from
this great republican state I'm PENN
sylvania the demand of the people
for Theodore Roosevelt, and their
endorsement of the clear cut prin
ciples in the interest Of human well
fare for which he stands, was equally
emphatic, Roosevelt carrying the
state by over one hundred thousand
majority and securing 67 out of 76
delegates to the national convention.
1T is a we'll known saying in the
political history of this nation, AS
goes Maine so goes the nation and
Last week the voters of Maine cleo
ted their entire delegation of twelve
for Roosevelt North Carolina has
just given Roosevelt 16 out of her "a
votes and think it is generally re,
cognized by the supporters of Presi-
dent Taft that his nomination at Chi
cago is now practically out of the
question.
"The real issue before the people
of this country has been presented
by Roosevelt in a series of what ever,
his enemies admit are masterly ad
dresses. These issues, the right of
the people ITO rule, and industrial ju
tice, are recognized by the thought
full people of this country as the vital
issues that must be promptly and
justly decided if we are to continue
as a great republic. Roosevelt i'm
his Carnegie hall speech presented
these issues with characteristic clear
ness of vision i'm the following words:
We, here in America, hold in our
hands the hope of the world, the fat
of the coming years; and shame and
disgrace will be ours if in our eyes
the light resolve is dimmed, if we
trail i'm the dust the golden hopes 81
men.
If on this continent We mere
ly build another country of great but
lnjustly divided material prosperity
we shall have done nothing and we
shall do as little if we merely set the
greed of envy against the greed of
and thereby destroy the
well-being of all of us.
To turn this government either
The Parker post., 1912-04-27

into government by a plutocracy or
government by a mob would be to
repeat on a larger scale the lament
able failures of the world that is
dead. We stand against all tyranny
by the few or by the many.
we stand for the rule of the
many in the interest of all of us, for
the rule of the many in the spirit of
courage, of common sense, of high
purpose; above all, in a spirit of
kindly Justice toward every man and
woman.
Our opponents pay lip-loyalty to
this doctrine; but they show their
real beliefs by the way in which they
champion every device to make the
nominal rule of the people sham.
"The spirit of Bunker Hill is
abroad in the land and from one end
of the nation to the other the people
by their votes are vigorously protest
ing against the continuance of that
alliance between political bosses and
special interests which has been so
serious a menace to the progress and
welfare of this country. These same
clear-minded voters, in no uncertain
terms, demand the nomination of
Theodore Roosevelt because he has
proved by his splendid accomplish
ments of the past his devotion to the
cause of human rights, and because
they know him to be above ALL a
fearless, strong and patriotic and eff
cient citizen, endowed with common
sense a splendidly trained mind and
strong spirit of Justice; a man re-
markably equipped by experience and
training to wisely lead the people of
this nation and to secure such pro-
eressive administration of the affairs
CT the government as shall give us
without delay, industrial justice cou-
pied with prosperity.
"Throughout Arizona vigorous
Roosevelt clubs have been organized
The great advantage both from
a material and political standpoint, to
Arizona of the election of Theodore
Roosevelt, is now apparent and thous
ands of determined men in this state
are united in his support.
1.-The people of Arizona will not
stand for political dictation; the
majority of them, irrespective of pol
itics, believe in progressive princi-
Piles for which Roosevelt stands. They
demand in no uncertain tones pop
ular vote in which to express their
presidential preference; that this vote
will result in an overwhelming de-
nand for Theodore Roosevelt there
is now no question, and if every
f:'end of good government does his
duty the nomination of Theodore
Roosevelt at the Chicago convention

works, or for the legislature of ,Ari-
zona to pass the Carey act and permit
the building of such system by
private capital.
1t is well known fact that the
reclamation service is unable to do
the work within the next ten or fiji
teen years. The only other alterna-
tive is to allow private capital to
construct the works.
Under the Carey act the state is
authorized to contract for the con-
struction of irrigation systems to re-
claim government desert lands, not
to exceed 100000 acres, or to con-
struct the said works itself In eth
er instance such construction must
be carried on subject to the rules and
regulations of the State Board of
Land Commissioners and of the de-
partment of the interior.
If the irrigation works are con-
slructed by any one other than the
supervision of the state. The state
has authority to accept or reject any
application that may be made to the
board of land commissioners relative
to any irrigation project that may
come under the Carey act.
The brennan bill as amended and
passed by the house of representa-
tiWes last Wednesday is printed else
where in this issue. 1t is reported
that there is a little opposition to
this bill in the senate. That there
can be any serious objection to the
measure is not believed. About every
western state has enacted laws ac-
cepting the provisions of the national
act, and practically every project con-
siructed under the law is a pronounc-
ed success.
The opening of the Colorado River
reservation lands depends solely up
ON the senate's passage of the Carey
ACT and it's approval by the governor,
and it does not stand to reason that
that body would vote to keep Parker
bottled UP for an indefinite number
of years. When those members of
the senate who are opposing the meas
ure fully understand the Importance
OF the opening of these lands to Set
tlement and cultivation we have not
the slightest doubt but that their Op-
POSITION will disappear.
The opening of the Parker lands
under the Carey act means millions
Ct dollars in taxable wealth to the
state and county, and the thousands
Of fertile acres contained in the res
eryation will be dotted with happy
homes of thousands of settlers.
Mr. Senator, this bill is now UP to
YOU Remember that it's passage
means everything to Parker, and to
the citizens who settled here about
four years ago, and who are still
awaiting the opening of these lands.
They have invested thousands of dol
lars in building a city on the Colo
RADIO, which, after these lands have
been opened, will soon rank in pop
.ulation and wealth. with Phoenix and
Tucson.

Hard Water Blamed
For Bad Hot Drinks

A German scientist who has been con-
Quoting a series of experiments for the
purpose of determining the relative
values Of hard and soft water for cook
ing purposes has discovered that the
water is very often to blame when tea,
coffee or soup doesn't taste just right.
For instance, IL cocoa Is made of soft
water a pleasant and rich drink Is OBJ
tanned which after short boiling deposits
the cocoa powder. Even II the cocoa is
made into a paste with a little water
and the cup then filed with hot water
the largest part of the powder will pre-
cipitate and the beverage will still be
rich and pleasant. II. however, hard
water is used, flakes will at once appear
and the oil in the cocoa will be seen
floating on the surface of the drink. The
flakes soon will settle and the 'bever-
age is far less tasty than the one OBJ
tanned with soft water. Similar obser-
vations may be noticed In the prepara-
ton of soups or oatmeal, which remain
fiaky even after long boiling. In the
preparation of tea the hard water
causes the formation of a thin film.

One Tree Purifies
Air for Dozen Men

II has been calculated that a single

from the respiration OF considerable

more.
The volume OF csrbonic acid exhsled
by q human being In the course OF
twenty-four hours II put at about 10o
gallons, but by Bouissingaults estimate
counting both the upper and the under
sides Of the leaves, can, under favorable
circumstances. decompose ut least q
gallon OF carbonic acid In q day. one
than would suffice TO keep the air pure
for one man, but the leaves of tree OF
moderate size present q surface Of many
