 M'NEAL, Dec 1S-The visit to the Sulphur Springs valley by the Ilm- onstratiOn train of the University of Arizona experiment station would not have been complete without a stop at A!cNeal, one of the more recently settled communities of this section which promises to be as famous a dry farming section as the great Panhandle of Texas. McNeaI at this time is the seat of the Sulphur Springs valley fair. and despite the iucIement weather the town is filled with people from all sections of the great valley. The day was therefore. as can be easily understood, one of pleasure and success. The farmers appreciated the train and the in formation and lessons for greater productivity that it contained, and the corps of instructors and assistants on the train appreciated to the fullest extent the visiting farmers.
 McNeal this year has reason to boast of its success in the sweet po- tato crop. The succulent yam pre- dominates as a heavy product and d standard crop in this section. Among the successful raisers of the tuber this year is Thomas Patterson who get nine tons from one and one quarter acres. From such a crop. it sces without saying, there were some fine specimens found, and some of these were added to the exhibits in the train and now form the contribu- tion of the new section in dear old Cochiset to the possibilities for agri- cultural wealth as displayed by tn string of cars
 N last year it found McNeal but a little village compared to the present condition of the town. It is the center of what promises to be one of the best farming communities of the state. It has good schools and d pubic-spirited citizenship. The prin- cipal of the school is Miss Cleo Tinker and she had seventy-tyvo pu- | ils under her charge with whom she is doing excellent work The growth Of the school placed the desire in the hearts of the citizens that all the evidences of good moral communities should in the future be fOstercd to the utmost and so land has been set aside for schools, churches parks and public buildings, all of which will be built as the town grows.
 McNeal is bound to become a good toNn' II TOT not other reason than its location It is the center of five hdndred miles of rapidly growing ter Iitory, where prosperous farmers miners and cattIcmen are located Settlers are coming into this section from all parts of the country every little while, and prosperity seems but a short distance off

 preparation for the delivery

 announced.
 Of great importance to PhOenicians in Los Angeles and most of southern California. is the new schedule of mails that goes into effect this morning The addition of a through pouch to the morning train, No. 1O1. at MaricOpa makes it possible for evening mail to arrive in Los An geIes in time for distribution the next day. and for readers of The Re pubIidan in that part of the world to get their Phoenix news twenty four hours earlier.
 It was in answer to an earnest petition of Postmaster McClintoc< that the authorities decided to add mail matter to train No. 1o1, which has heretofore carried nothing but express. This marks a dcccidCd for ward step in mail service between Arizona and California. Heretofore there has been scarcity of mail connections westward, for although three trains passing Maricopa bound for the Sunset state they did so within the space of a few hours in tRe late afternoon. making it prac- ticaHy one connection.
 But under the new regime. there will be morning delivery to the westward bound trains. Mail leaving here by 6:O5 in the morning will catch the Southern Pacific 1O1 at Maricopa at 9:55 and arrive in Los Angeles at 10:00 D. m.
 The establishment of this service means dividing the outgoing west ward mail, and people who plan sending letters that way should figure anew the schedule so as to be able to take advantage of the change

insurgents.
The Country United.
Active war had begun; an army was
set down before Boston-a rude army
that had grown to be sixteen thousand
strong within the first week of it's
rally; the country was united in gen
eral resistance, and looked to the con-
gress to give it organization and guild
ance.
Colonel Washington had come to the
congress in his provincial uniform,
and found himself a great deal sought
after in it's committees.
Not only the drawing of state papers
which would once more justify their
cause and their resort to arms in the
eyes of the word, but the actual mus
tering and equipment of an army,
quick fortification, the gathering OF
munitions and supplies, the raising of
money and the organization OF a COM
missariat, the restraint OF the In
dams upon the frontier was the
business in hand, and Washington S
advice was invaluable when such mat
tiers were afoot.
Washington Prompt to Act.
He showed no hesitation as to what
should be done.
His own mind had long ago been
made up; and the sessions OF the con-
gress were not ended before Virginia
was committed beyond all possibility OF
drawing back.
The LIST of June saw her last house
of burgesses convene; for by the Sth
of the month Dunmore was fugi-
tiye-had seen the anger OF VIII
Harrisburg mob blaze hot against him,
and had taken refuge in man-of-war
lying up the river.
The province was ready for reVolu-
ton and Washington was ready to go
/ with it.
1t meant more than Washington
thought that he had come to Phila'
delphia habited like soldier.
1t had not been his purpose to draw
all eyes upon him; it was merely his
instructive expression of his own per
sonal feeling with regard to the crisis
that had come But it was in its way
a fulflment of prophecy.
When the first Virginian convention
chose delegates to attend the con-
gress of 1874, "some of the tickets on
the ballot assigned reasons for the
choice expressed in them. Randolph
should preside in congress; Lee and
Henry should display the different
kinds of eloquence for which they
were renowned Washington should
command the army, If an army should
be raised; Bland should open the
treasures of ancient colonial learning;
Harrison should utter plain truths !;
and Pendleton should be the penman
for business"
Self Poise of the Virslnians.

ginia, coming with such confidence to

TEACHERS MEET

7 II e Teaching Faculty and
grades five and six, met in grade
six room of the Lihue school to
hear the addresses given by Mr..
Lydgate and Judge Dickey on the
life of the late Doctor Alexander.
Mr.. Lydgate's talk was most
pleasing, and was so graphically
given that one could almost
feel the personality of that most
learned man. Judge Dickey told
some most interesting details of
Doctor Alexander's early life.
Both addresses were much ap-
preciated by the Faculty, the only
regret being that more of his life's
work was not given.

From all reports the exhibition

others ordered.
The island of Kauai has in this

Plantation Mr.. J. r. Myers has
for some time been employing this
method of blowing with much pro-
fit, eve n having used similar

of the John Deere Plow Co., claims
special advantages for his plow
which have attracted the attention
Of every planter whom he was
called on.
AS it is we'll known, the
character of the soil of all the Is
lands is such that a moldboard
plow can not scour-this results in
the plow's congesting easily and
in ineffective turning of the soil.
Disk plows are made for just such
conditions and the Deere plow has
generous proportions weight and
strength which qualify it for the
heavy soils and permit of its plow.

used for other purposes such as

needs traction or belt power.

this plow that has already met
with much favor in the States.
Where the soil contains too
many rocks for disk plow or the
hills are too steep for any form of

of course be done in the usual

proposition.
The investigators have found
the planters in a receptive mood
since improved quality Of work
