Mysterious 0isap-
 pearance in Cochise

The finding of . Singer sewing
 mschine wagon and harness in the
 mountains between I'ouglas and Tombstone and the mysterious dis appearance of Frank NJ Avils. an agent of the company. sbo left Tuc- son Jan 26 on . collecting trip ard hes pot been beard from since, makes it probable that the man has beeu foully dealt with, and the manager of the company, V Scruees of Tucson. 's busy trying to unravel the mystery. He has written, c letter to Sheriff Wheeler of Tombstone and one to Alfred Paul of Douglas in an effort to locate the missing man and ascertain the reason for the wagon being on the top of . mountain in desolate couu- try.
 Avila was sn agent of ,he company for the Tombstone, Pesrcs .Courtland and Gleeson territory. and a trusted emp'oye of long standing. It is more than probable tbat the wagon and harness in question was driven from Tucson by him. The horse has not yet been heard from, and it is prob- able if the man met with foul play the horse wac stolen at the time. The will make a thorough in. vestigstion of the mysterious affair.

Doctor, 90, Reveals
 Secret of Youth

The secret of remaining ever young is revealed by Dr. Josiah 0ld6eld, who is nearly 90, yet feels entirely youthful. The doctor says:
 "There ought 10 be no such thing e middle sge. If men would live properly. they could carry the spirit of youth to the erd oi their days. The secret is that he must submit himself to meLtsl and physical discipline and and eat wisely, but nos too we'll"
 Old6eDd's rules arc:
 '.Tbink big thoughts and cling to noble ideals. Don't Wssts time over petty things. Don't take . narrow view of tbings. Take fruits. oils, pure wines, eggs, batter. milk and bread. Bathe every morning, rub the skin with rough towel. Know yourself."

February IS was the last day on which brie's could be filed before the supreme court, in whose hands the matter now is. The matter has been thoroughly argued and it is ex- pected that the court will give . de- cision practically "off the reel" ss it were.

It sounds like the era of the pio, neers or the California argonsuts "in the dave Of old. the days of gold, the days of '49" co read of . new rush of miners into . new district anywhere in the Great Southwest. Snch . rush vas reported the other day from Ro- chester; New. where there is said to be an excitement scarcely exceeded in the history of mining camps since the first discovery Iof gold on the coast. Some miner with his pick uneEpec- tedly "struck it rich" on tbe sids of the mountain near Rochester the other day. and now there are perhaps 40O0 or 5000 people in the camp. There are . score of stagss of the auto. mobile type that meet every train at the railroad station and convey the excited miners nine miles to the scene ot operations.

The Sulphur
 Spring Valley

The following is from the pen of Edgar Axte!l, ( Tombstone High School pupil who gives sn interesting description oi Cochise's wonderful valley. The article is one of . series of compositions by the high school students which are published from time to time in these columns:-
 By EDGAR AxrELL
 The Sulphur Spring Valley is . large flat piece of fertile land lying in Cochise county and the northern part of Mexico. surrounded by several small mountain ranges. It received its nsme from large sulphur spr;ng which !ies about nine miles north Of Pearce and is owned by the Chirica- hua Cattle company. This spring was once held by the Indians and used for medicinal purposes, but it wac captured by the Americans and used for watering hole for the troops until the IndiAns were driven out of the country.
 The original industry of this valley was cattle raising. and, although est. tie raising still occupies . prominent place among the chief industries of the country. it is rapidly teing crowd. ed out by the farmer, and in . few more years a Sulphur Spring vslley ranch will probably consist of abou, . hundred head Of cattle kept within barted wire fences and fed on alfalfa and sorghum. In 1910 this wac the largest tract of fertile land belonging to the United States govern ment that still remained open to homestesders.
 Small possofices, country school houses, and trading points for the settlers have been springing up every- where and the valley is steadily pro. eressing in it's agricultural industries. ! he main cfops of the valley are iomst es. beans. Iadian corn. sorghum sugar cane, and hay. The farmers take their crops to the neighboring cities and towns where they can al. ~sys find ready market and good prices.
 The largest towns and cities of the valley are Douglss, Willcoz. Pesrce and McNesl. Douglas being the lsrg- est. Thirteen years ago there was nothing but cattle ranch where it now stauds It is . city of over eight thousand inhabitants and its largest industryis the smelling of the ores which are brought from tbe surround. ing mountains. WilIcox iss shipp- ing point for cattle and ore. Pesrce is . trad ng point for settlers and Mo- Neal has . canning factory which cans products raised in the valley.

QUALITIES OF FLY-CATcHER
Examination Of Stomach Of the Little
Bird Showed 90 Per Cent. Of
Animal Matter.
tBy F. e. L. BEAL.,

tBy F. e. l.. BEAL.,
The western yellow-bellied n.y.
catcher occupies the western part Of
the United States from the Pacific
coast eastward as far as the eastern
foothills of the Rockies and as far
north as Alaska. It is found in its
summer range about eight months Of
the year and during the winter in
Mexico.
For the study Of this birds food.
$50 stomachs were examined. The
food was found to consist Of 99.31 per
cent animal food to 0.69 per cent. OF
vegetable.
From this 1t is evident that the
good qualities of the western yellow
bellied fly-catcher far outweigh the
bad-if indeed 1t can be said to have
any bad ones. 1t eats predaceous
beetles. but the percentage is SO
small that no great harm can be done.
The other insects are mostly those
that we are glad to lose. The bird
is too small to injure fruit or grain.

TAKE UP THREE-PlEcE SUITS
tion Of Two silks They Are
Equally Popular.

According to a statement made by
the Dry Goods Economist. the vogue
for garments Of the dressier type is
no doubt responsible for the interest
recently shown in three-piece suits
Up to the present time the majority
Of these three-piece suits have been
made up In silks or high-class novelty
worsteds..
Silks have been particularly good
and many smart three piece suits Of
moire. faille, poplin. charmeuse and
brocade are now being shown. az we'll
as a combination of two silks. such
as moire and faille, brocade and faille.
etc.
Although some three-piece suits
have been brought out to retail at 4
moderate price. very little attention
has been given to cheaper grades.
This Is because houses that are able
to turn out . good popularpriced
tailored suit seldom have an OF.
ganixation that IL capable OF making
an equally attractive dress and vics
versa.

GIVE THE VEGETABLES ROOM
by Not Thinning Out at Proper
TIme-Nerve Needed.

Do not be afraid to thin out your
plants-they must not be crowded.
Probably more garden stun has been
ruined for want of being thinned at
the proper time than by any other
cause.
However that may be. one of the
most puzzling things for the begin
ner to find out is whether any particu-
lar vegetable should be thinned or
tra4splanted. and how far apart the
plants should stand afterward.
He will get some help from the cat
alogues as to the distances. but
whether he should transplant or thin
is the kind of thing that is not In the
book.
1t requires great deal of nerve to
pull up and destroy the unnecessary
seedling-more nerve than the anna
teur possesses. They say that a per-
son never becomes a good gardener
until he steels his nerve to this
ruthless sacrifie.
A vegetable must have plenty Of
room to develop its best size and
flavor. and one can take no pride in
small commonplace vegetables.

nAIlYN0!Ty

Watch the cows coat. 1t is fine
indication of her physical condition.
There Is no special method that
need be followed in raising bull calf
Bad ventilation in the COW stable is
responsible for many diseased cattle
1t is every dairymans business to
ask each COW what she does with her
feed.
Do not hurry the cows in moving
them about the place or to and from
the barn.
1t Is better to grow beets, common.
ly known as mangels. rather than car
rots for cows.
No feed returns as much profit as
that which puts COW In good condi-
tion just before calving time.
II your cows are not paying for
their feed hold little examination
and see II you are to blame.
The man who pastures his cows
too early in the spring to save clean.
ing the stable ought to repent next
summer when he has to cut cornstalks
to take the place of grass.
