farmers Of the trade opportunity of.
fcrcd by the postal service. These cir
culars will ask the farmers to record
their names and addresses ut cOnVcn-
lent pOStOlIiCcS and then periodically
file statements Of the produce they
wish to market and the price. The cir
CularS will also contain information
as to packing perishablc products foI
shipment. These data will be classi

ent power for good Through this
agency Christians are working for the
bettermcnt of the world, not for re-
Cruits to their own church membership.
1t takes the bitterness ont of sectarian-
ism and promotes good feeling among
the various churches ms nothing less
generous or sclfeiracing could do. This
call of the church universal to enlist
under her banners wakens resolves and
purposes long dormant in many hearts.
Never was the clamor of the world
more insistent, yet the heavenly sum
mons is still sounded not in whrlwind
or tempest but in the still, small voice
within the soul of man. Reverence,
obedience, humility, these lowly vir-
tues religion alone inculcates in modern
life. Yet without them there can be
no such thing as beauty of character
or spiritual growth.

No. 1-Growina Ration.

Wheat bran ...............23 pounds
Salt 9 pounds
Ration No. / is particularly suited
for swine from weaving time until the
animals have reached weight of $50
200 pounds. If feeding for market, sup
ply all the ear corn they will clean up
in addition. If fed literally on the
Stop ration, young pigs will seldom eat
too much corn. Disorder comes from
feeding corn unmiXed with sudi-
cieny of other feeds. Animals being
developed for breeding purposes
should not be fed corn in excess OF the
ration. or crowded as hard as those
prepared for early market. An excel
lent feature of this ration is the fact
that it contains a reasonable mixture
of standard grains. The oil meal spe-
Gifted in each ration is important and
serves q double function. In mixing
the Stop and preparing the feed, it
forms a sort of jelly with the water
and gives the entire mixture a con-
sistency and uniformity that cannot
otherwise be obtained. Without the
use of oil meal in the slop the other
feeds will rapidly settle to the bottom
of the barrel and the slop will be thin
on top and thick at bottom. 1t also
serves an important function in the
animal body, by regulating the diges-
tive organs and imparting a quality to
the skin and hair that cannot other
wise be secured.
Ration No. is for brood sows that,
during pregnancy, are fed entirely on
grain. Wheat bran has been intro
duced in addition to the grains used in
ration No. 1. 1t gives the ration more
bulk and tends to increase it's laxative

It is rumored that Yavpai county is blaming to do some road work in the northern part of that county, soon. It is time they are getting busy there. The northern part of Yavapai really should have been included in Coconlno, and if the county administration continues its neglect oe the northern potion enought sediment may yet build up to disconect that section from that county and add it to this. One thing sure, Coconino would see to it that the old Trails Road was kept up in good shape if she received the taxes from that section of the main line of the Santa Fe which lies in nothern Yavapai.

Booming Business

Good news of spreading prosper ity continues to pour in to the White House from all sides and nc one is more gratified to hear of it than President Wilson. It is now estimated that the wheat crops oi 1914 will reach one billion bushels which is 25 per cent greater than any crop ever produced. All other crops are of the bumper variety with the exception of the tobacco crop which is slightly below the average. Nearly all of the mills in Pittsburgh, Iron and Steel indust- ries are now running on full time and some of them over time, and the manufacturing industries of all sections of the country being with out surplus goods are now working full time to supply the fall trade which is bound to> be exceedingly brisk as is always the case when we have such bountiful crop of fruit and cereal.

Coconino's Prize Roads.

A great deal of work is still need ed on the roads of our county, and a great deal more is going to be done, but just as the roads stand today, they are for the most part veritable boulevards compa d with what is found in neighboring counties. The editor of the News has recently ridden over the Old Trails road from Williams to Sel- igman and from Williams to Win slow. Between Flagstaff and Win slow, the new road was travelled on the way down and the old one on the way back. Except for one washout in the new road six miles west of Winslow and the difficult ford across conyon Diablo, the new road was superior to the old besides being much shorter.
 Coconino's roads give evidence not only of more work but also of higher class of work than is done on the roads of our neighboring counties. Our roads seem to be the first to follow regular and care- full surveys. AS a result they maintain a far more even grade and are many time straighter. After one has ridden over the roads of other northern Arizona counties, tourists after their difficulties in other counties are full of praise for the work done by Coconino's road men. The prize received at Pres colt this year was indeed we'll mer- ited.

COMMUNITY SUICIDE.

Statistics show that the big cities
OF the country are growing faster
than the smaller ones. There are
exceptions, but this is the rule.
One of the principal reasons for
this ominous tendency is the lack of
community spirit among so many
people.
When person buys supplies out
of town he helps some other place to
grow. His support permits a mer-
chant in some other place to enlarge
his business, hire more clerks, and
pay more taxes. The merchant thus
favored does nothing in return, ex-
cept to sell his goods at price that
can usually be equaled or bettered in
a home store.
When you buy goods at home you
help your home business men to in
crease their business, to draw more
help from other places, to pay more
taxes, and do more to support all
home institutions. 1t pays to think
what will become of your money after
you spend IT. Do you want it to help
your own interest, or those of some
larger city?

MOTHERS DAY.

The best that is in us we owe to
our mothers. Our dads may have
been all right; in fact, as men go,
most of them were. But they didn't
cuddle us or kiss our bruises or pill
low us on loving hearts to sob away
the griefs of the day or make us for
get the fears of the stormy nights.
Much OF history is but a futile at
tempt OF mankind to do right rever.
ence TO motherhood. Poets have
sung of it, painters and sculptors
have sought increasingly to transfix
its inspiring spirit upon canvas or in
wondrous carvings OF stone, religion
has tried by aid OF it to build a lad
der to the stars, and yet the divinity
OF IL surpasses our powers TO express
and almost our capacity to under
stand.
What is the miracle that in a few
fleeting years transforms the shy and
gawky girl of the early teens into
that marvel of patience, devotion,
sympathetic understanding and sur
passing courage which unfolds with
maternity? Isn't il God once more
sending His spirit to abide among the
sons of men?
And so we do well to pause in the
selfish rush to do some bit OF honor
to Mothers day.
But every day is mothers day.
glory be. Never does the mother
love falter; never the mother-pa-
thence fail.
II only we could live up to the
hopes, the expectations, the stand
ards of our mothers. what corking
fine world this would be!

JOURNALISTIC CONFIDENCE.

Several newspaper men have re-
Gently been brought into court to
make them tell authors of articles of
information given them. The latest
case occurred at Halifax, Nova Sco-
tia. where the editor of the Herald
was jailed for forty-eight hours for
refusal to tell who wrote letter that
was said to insult the assembly. The
editor took the ground that to give
this information would be a violation
OF journalistic ethics.
No doubt there are individual cases
where II would be for the advantage
Of the public to know who wrote a
given article. But the prevailing Gus
tom of keeping confidential the au-
thorship of newspaper communica-
tions brings out many facts and Just
criticism of public officials. This
helps hold public men to higher
standards.

ANOTHER LESSON UNHEEDED.

II is just about year now since
the Ohio River Valley was devastated
with an appalling flood and millions
of dollars worth OF property and hun
dreds OF lives destroyed unnecessar-
lily. Immediately thereafter editors
and preachers and economists every
where began TO lay plans to prevent
a repetition. Practically nothing has
been done. Congress appropriated
more money to accomplish what was
already proved to be a failure. Hun
dreds of cities throughout the coun-
try are in imminent danger now.
Resolutions OF sympathy, appropria-
tions for the relief OF sufferers, and
long-face talk has little influence
upon the mighty flood. II is respect
fully suggested for the benefit OF the
high-brow economists OF the east who
are criticising the way we do things
that II Is time for them to get busy.
