upon. but can hardly be exaggerated.
One has been observed to mimic four.

half an hour, each so perfectly that it
was hard to believe the medley of
sounds proceeded from a single throat.
The only percepuble difference in
the real song and the imitation is that

Owed Life to Dream.

Melton Prior, the famous war art
ist. always averred that he owed his
life on one occasion to warning
dreams. When going out to the Zulu
war he twice dreamed that he was
shot and then buried. On arriving at
Durham he received letter from his
mother telling of a dream Identical
with his own, and begging him not TO
20 to the front. He obeyed her In
junction. and engaged another artist
to 20 in his place. The unfortunate
substitute was almost the first man
killed in the fighting. One wonders
why a warning dream was not grant
ed him also.

The housewives up in North Ash

has gone dry, drive every Monday

laundry work is done. They not alone

ing the scrub the neighborhood gossip
is rehearsed and when the work is
done lunch is eaten. Then everything
is packed up and the happy homeward

GODS USE FOR PETROLEUM.

Employment of oil as fuel for the
navy would have met with the whole
hearted dlsapproval of an American
who figures in Sir John Robinson's
"reminiscences. This far-seeing person
petitioned congress that "a stop might
be put to the irreverent and irreligious
proceedings of various citizens in

mighty, who stored It there for the
future destruction Of the world"

A little girl, visiting her auntie, was

NEW THEORY OF GOLF.

in golf two or three years ago, and
who recently established a new com

do not seem to assimilate. Good golf
is played through the lower nerve
centers and motor channels, while
poor golf is due to the direct interfer-
ence of the brain, or consciousness.

APPROPRIATION
 F0R NEW FARM
b3O,OOO. Provided in New House Bill for Increasing Size and Efficiency of Experiment Station in Valley.

The general appropriations bill house from the printer carries with it an appropriation for purchasing 160 acres of suitable land in the Salt River valley to be converted into an eXper- ment station farm. This item in the bill has long been sought by those il- timately connected with the agricul- tural demonstration and intensive farming work in the state of Arizona.
 It has been contended for some time that the present farm situated close to the Arizona State Fair grounds is hardly suitable for the work any longer. It is too small for the de- mands placed upon it, although in the
 past it has done yeOmen service. This
 farm has been in use for probably six
 teen years or more. Now however it
 is contended the demands of this sec
 tion especially are so great that the
 limited acreage of the tract, will not
 give sufficient room for the work that is necessary.
 It is proposed therefore to sell the present farm, which is highly improved and to close up the work upon it as soon as possible and to then transfer the activities of the farm to the pro- posed new location. This new quar- ter section farm is located in easy touch of the car lines and has railroad facilities just as good as the present farm.
 2 One of the points made in favor of the new farm is that it will ultimately | be of little added expense to the State considering the worth it will be to the state. While it is true it will take $30,- 900 now to start the new place. includ- ing the purchase in fee simple, and the l tinStallation of such improvements as are necessary, when the old property l : is sold, the return will be nearly equal | to the amount spent for the new place | although the new place is more than | twice as large as the old experiment | farm. Being highly improved, it will bring a first rate sum on the market.
 It has on it fruit trees by the hundreds
 all bearing every year, and each variety 1 picked for results from among others 1 of the same variety
 | The professors and instructors of the 1 agricultural department of the univer- 1 sity, which will have a general over 1 sight of the work of the station are es- | pecially anxious to see the bill go 1 through with the appropriation In it l desired. They point with pride to the work that has been done by the old farm, in proving what are the right
 sort of crops to produce the most money for the farmers here Because | of the experiments in sugar beet cul-
 ture on the old experiment station the | present beet sugar factory has been l located at Glendale an investment of | many hundreds of thousands of dol | lars. The present large acreage of | beets throughout the valley is ar
