was told to him by the Dowager Lady
Cowper apropos of the days when all
the joints were carved on the table:
She was n debutante, very shy, and
her old host. who was about to carve
a sirloin OF beef, turned to her and
said. Lady Anne. will you have upper
or under?" Lady Cowper said to me
that she had not the least idea what
he meant, so in weak moment she
hazarded upper" Whereupon the
host turned to the butler and said in
loud voice. Take it away and turn
it. Young ladies give great deal Of
trouble nowadays"

GOOD ROADS AND THRIFT.
France Sets an Example the Rest OF
the World Might Follow.

Good farms and good roads so TO-
gether. Good roads mean cheaper haul
ing prices, better profits-therefore
more money. The wealth OF Il nation
is the wealth of its population. The
population of the country of France IS
known to be the most thrifty, the least
poverty stricken and the best provided
for OF any country in the world. Ana
France has n better road system ana
more good roads in proportion to its
area than any other country OF the
same or greater size. Has France ru-
raj wealth because Of its good roads or
has it good roads because of its thrifty
peasantry?
1t is, therefore, for us in this country
TO look upon France not only as good
example, but as the example of the
fulfillment of dreams. We cannot
solve our problem in any other way
than as France has solved hers with
any surety of success. She builds her
national highways first, owns them.
controls them, repairs them. She has
her departments-her divisions CORE

BULLET AND BIBLE.
Ono Tried to Take Mans Life, While
the Other Saved II.

tne Otner SdVeu its
To illustrate the bullet resisting pow
ers Of papers, a veteran war CORE
spondent brought for the inspection OF
some of his journalistic colleagues a
pocketbook filed with photographs and
papers and Bible, each Of which on
separate occasions had been instru-
mental in saving his life in the course
OF the Russo-Turkish war.
In one instance he was knocked of
his horse by the impact Of bullet and
became unconscious, only to find on re-
gaining his senses that the friendly
wallet had prevented the bullet enter
ing his body. On the second occasion,
at Plevna, the Bible, which he had
placed in a side pocket, detected a
heavy piece of shrapnel that threaten
ed to end his existence.
He had kept the wallet intact as
memento of his escape, and one of the
journalists who was examining its
contents came. by curious coincl-
dence, upon a letter which he himself
had indited to the war correspondent
some thirty or forty years ago, the
very existence of which he had en-.
tirely forgotten.
In the letter he had expressed the
hope that his friend would return safe
and sound from the seat of war. The
words "safe and sound" had been al
most cut away by the bullet, which
but for the providential interposition
Of the bundle of papers, would proba
bly, have ended the war correspond

S408,0O0,000 IN
STATE
This is approximate; Tax Commission
is Finishing Official Table of Values


PHOENIX, Oct Iz-With the addi-
ton of the taxable value of private
car lines operating within the state,
the total assessed valuation of proper
ty in Arizona VIII be well over $408,-
100000. The work of determining the
actual cash value was begun yester-
day by the state. tax commission, and
will continue the rest of the week.
While the Pullman company, the
Pacific Fruit express and the Santa
F'e refrigerator dispatch are the largest
and most important lines in operation
in Arizona, the total number of COM
panies, owning private cars make the
task of ascertaining the valuation a
large one. After the fun cash value
has been determined the average tax
rate is applied to- the valuation. Last
year the average rate was $1,505
which was applied on an approximate
valuation of s1,17z,0o0.
The commission will ON November
Il, certify to the state treasurer the
total net receipts of express COM
panies for the year ending June 80,
1914. This amounts to ,925.55,
as compared with sos, 1923 ~ for last
year. The two companies, the Wells
Fargo and United Verde and Pacific
will pay a tax of six per cent on this
amount.
