matter. Does Grenada want a commission form of government or
do the people prefer the ills of the present form of government
rather than try something they know not of Many. of the most
progressive towns of the country are trying the commission form OF

1t is reported that a number of men in Missouri are organizing
with the view of buying 10000 acres of land in the state of Lous-
ana for the purpose of raising stock on a large scale. We have no
disposition to discredt Louisiana, but just wish to say that Missis-
sippi is nearer these gentlemen and that there re no better lands
anywhere for stockraising than can be found right here. This Sec
ton is destined to be a great stockraising country and those who
are wise enough to get. on the ground first will of course reap the
greatest rewards.

DASHEEN TO RIVAL POTATO.

The discovery is announced of a
vegetable that can be substituted for
the potato 1t is described as a semi
tropical tuber, grown with much sue
cess i'm Florida and Central and South
Amreica, and called the dasheen.
Like many things that are good in
side, it has a rough exterior. Served
in any way that taste may dictateI
it resembles the potato SO closely
that only a connoisseur could detect
the difference
1t appears that the dasheen has
been eaten at banquets of the Nation
al Geographical Society and pronounc,
ed decidedly good, and members OF
this distinguished organization are
among the epicures of whom the
country can boast. When Secretary
Wilson entertains a doubt about the
edibility of any newly discovered food
product he invariably has it served
at a banquet of the National Geo
graphical Society: if it causes no
disturbance there, it is recommended
without hesitation to the general
public.
The National Geographical Society
having partaken of the dasheen, the
Department of Agriculture is now dis
tributing, through representatives i'm
Congress, 1000 bushels of the tubar
seed that it may be propagated south
of Mason and DiXon's line. One of
the many good things about the dash
cen is that it will thrive in the moist
warm regions of Dixie where the
Irish pototo fails to develop. Tests al
ready made show, lit is said, that a
crop of from 400 to 450 bushels to
the acre of dasheens can be raised

IMPORTING LADYBUGS.

Collectors of the state horticulture
al commissioner office have gone
to the canyons of northern Califor-
MIA in the annual hunt for ladybugs.
These tiny bugs are used by the can
talOupe growers of Imperial valley to
combat the aphis and except for one
year, previous to the introduction OF

palgue at a minimum The little
bugs are also being used with sue

More than 100 pounds Were gath

are 10000 of these insects to a pound

cantaloupe industry alone.
During the winter the ladybugs
gather in punches on trees and in
sheltered places in the canons, and
may be secured by the handful They
are taken to the state offices at Sac

are shipped in screened boxes to the

And then sweet April shall return,
With damp and dewy lea.
And for a day remind us all
What fools these mortals be.
THE REASON WHY.

Advocates of capital punishment
legal murder, say that there is
criminal element in Arizona that is
kept within bounds simply because
they fear the law will put them to
death 1t does not appear to occur
to these people that the law provid-
ing for capital punishment has been
in force ever since Arizona became
a territory, but it has not prevented
frequent murders. Dead Cinnamon
are as frequent as dead dogs about
Nogales. The fear of the law doesn't
appear to stop their murder.-Tucson
Star.
The Nogales Oasis replies to the
above as follows: "Fear of capital
punishment has stopped the murder
of Chinese i'm the vicinity of Nogales.
And it has stopped the murder of
others beside Chinese. The reason
that fear did not operate before was
an aversion of juries to inflict the
death penalty, together with insuffi
cheney of evidence i'm individual cases
When there came a case two years
ago in which the evidence warrented
and it went before a jury that fear,
ed not infliction of the death penalty.
resulting in one execution, there
came a stop to all sorts of crimes
particularly to murder and assaults
with murderOus intent And men who
had been suspected of many of the
mysterious murders that had gone

from 100 acres up. At present the
price is about $500 per acre. The
selecting of large bodies of land, u.s.
Ing the Navajo base" to obtain title,
opens the way for capitalists and
companies to obtain land for devel-
opment, reclamation, and retailing in
the finished state to settlers.
The scrip next higher in price is
Soldiers Additional Homestead, to be
had in small tracts for about $1,000
per acre. Then comes Forest Re-
serve scrip at about $500 per acre.
Ali of these are available for filing on
surveyed lands.
The surveyed land area of Arizona
IS much smaller than it should be.
There is nothing that advertises a
section in it's early pioneer days like
the public land survey. The general
impression, on looking at map that
shows land surveyed in sections and
land that is not surveyed, is, that the
'aGd surveyed is good, and the land
not surveyed is worthless or it would
be surveyed, and although this is not
Away d fact, there are few land
seekers that will deliberately pioneer
an unsdrveyed section.
1T is an easy matter to have public
land surveyed The Surveyor Gen
cal of Arizona, at Phoenix, now has
a surplus appropriation for such
work and is only waiting for applica-
tions, to order such surveys made.
There is a limited amount of Sioux
Half Breed and Valentine scrips avail
able, that can be filed on unsurveyed
land These scrips are quoted on
the market at about $4,000 to $4,000
per acre.-James G. Dobbins, G. E.,

March gets it's name from Mars,
the Roman god of war. 1t was or
iginally the first month of the year
but after Rome conquered Ireland 1t
ter of colonial policy, the Irish hav-
ing found it too cold to march on st.
Patrick's day. This incident Illus
tra.es the chief difference between
the Roman and British empires. Rom
knew very we'll that the way to keep
Ireland from asking for home rule
was constantly to grant her little re-
quests which didn't much matter one
way or another. The result was that
there was never any home rule move
ment in Ireland under the Roman
flag such as has been organized unde
the British.
The vernal equinox will occur on
the 21st, on which date the sun will
cross the equator on its way back to
the north. This will make the moon
full ON the 22nd, and bring in Easter
on the 23d. 1t isn't often that we
have such a tremendous sequence OF
events as this will be, and the incl
dental phenomena will be many and
varied. The days will become ap-
preciably longer, suffragettes will
swarm, everybody running for office
will run a bit faster, and trusts will
automatically bust.
To make the occasion even more
historic. there will be an eclipse OF
the moon on the night it is full This
will be visible in every part OF our
country, and in conjunction with the
equinox, it will in great many re-
spects resemble the end of the world.
Tremendous contributions to missions
social relief work and the betterment
of men will be made for the next
four or five days. Mr. Rockefeller
will hurl great sums of money in
every direction, and there will be
widespread repentance.
And then sweet April shall return,
With damp and dewy lea.
