THE BIRD THAT NEVER SLEEPS

The question that is troubling US
at the present moment is this: Die
old man Noah take a pair of mos
uuitoes into the ark with him and if
SO is there any further call for us
to respect his memory? Of all the
birds that fly or worms that crawl,
or beasts that roam, the female mos
quito is the most utterly devoid of
commendable traits of character. She
is as malignant as rattlesnake and
as persistent as bulldog. She is the
one bird that never sleeps. She stays
awake so that she can devise new
forms of torture. If she would be
content to feed on you in silence you
might stand it, but her internal song
is as bad as her bite. The mosquito
has not a single noble impulse, not
the faintest faint of generosity.
She is more bloodthirsty than a
man eating tiger and has more rapac-
ity than lean dog. Just for curios-
ity let one light on you and take her
fill. Does she stop when she has had
enough? Not on your photograph.
She will suck away until her tank is
filled to the point of bursting, then
she will tie up her hind legs and dig
her sticker in notch further. She
never knows when to quit. She says,
"This seems to be an easy mark |
have here and l will just stay with
it."
If you want to picture place of
future torment that will cause the
sinner to pause and hest
tate, describe the sinner as tied up
naked where the mosquitoes are thick
and each one hunting for a place to
get in her bill.

SIMPLIFYING STATE GOVERN
MENT.

The question of simplifying the ma
chinery of state government is engag-
ing some attention in the West, where
new ideas receive greater considera-
ton than in the more conservative
East.
The state of Oregon is to vote in
November on a plan to establish a
legislature composed of single house
of so members. 1t is popularity re-
ferred to as plan to abolish the sem
ate, though why the senate should be
abolished in preference to the house,
/ in case smaller and better selected
legislative body is desired, is not ap-
parent.
Governor Hodges of Kansas is in
favor of what he calls a shortened
legislature" and has advocated the
idea theoretically since he has occu-
pied the executive Office. His legisla-
ture would be smaller in number than
the proposed house in Oregon. 1t
would be composed of representatives
from the various congressional dis
tricts, according to outlines of the
plan that have been published, and
would be in continuous session.
In Colorado vote will be taken
in November on plan of commission
state government, said to have been
originated by Judge Ben Lindsey of
Denver. The short ballot is one fea-
ture of this plan. The governor would
be the only elective state officer and
would appoint a cabinet somewhat
similar to that named by the president
of the United States. The laws would |
be made by senate composed of 1S
or 20 members. The governor would !
have vastly greater power, but would
be subject to recall.
Legislative bodies as at present con-
stituted are unwieldly and the out
come in legislation is generally unsat-
isfactory. They are made up largely
of inexperienced men and the sessions
are so short that a new member
scarcely gets his bearings before he
must give way for another new men,
Der. Whether a smaller body would
be composed of better material and
do better work is debatable question.
Some of the Western states will try
the experiment in the near future and
then the rest of the country may be
able to Judge of the results-I ouiS-

day recently and the topic of their

"How did your daughter pass her ex-

asked one. "Passi" was the answer
"She didn't pass at all. Maybe you
wouldn't believe it, but they asked

Old Bill Misgivens says that there
is a man in his neighborhood who new
er takes bath. A few years ago he
fell into the river and nearly drowned
before he was rescued. While he was
in the water there were three or four
layers of soil washed off him, and
when the rescuers brought him to his
own house his wife didn't recognize
him until a neighbor convinced her
that he had seen Jim fall into the
water and was there and helped to fish
him out, and knew that it was her
husband. She said that she had never
seen Jim when he was washed and
never supposed that it would make so
much difference. This season Jim has
been working out in the hay field
and got his hair and whiskers full
of grass seed and the season being
very prolific the seed commenced to
grow till his head began 70 look like
a green mound. When his wife picked
a couple of morning glories ont of his
ears she insisted on running the lawn
over him, but he wouldn't stand
for it. Howver, a few days after
that he was asleep under the shade of
4 tree in the yard when a pet goat
discovered him and bit off his whisk- 1
ers and most of his hair. 1t wasn't /

TO MARKET BENSON PRODUCTS
Claims One Mile from Town Said to
 Be Proving Valuable

The parties who recently located the claims one mile west of Benson on account of the Fuller's earth and Palagonite deposits, after extensive tests, find that the allied formations, both above and below these stratas. have uses which are of great value.
 The gocators have formed a co. partnership to be known as the Ari. zona Earth Products company. and have recently installed machinery which will enable them to prepare the products for market in sufficient quantities to meet the present de. mand.
 This firm will manufacture from the different deposits polishing and cleaning preparations, paints and kal somines.
 The company is already putting uT in paper boxes two materials which they have named "O-mio" and "Ra diolo." O.mi-o is to be used fol | cleaning and polishing brass ant other metal ware while Radolio is tt be used for gold and precious stones
 Inquiries are being received dail! in reference to prices of these mate rials from various business houses far and near, which have made prac tical tests of the specimens sen them, and each communication em bodies words which signify there vii be a big demand for these products.
 Preparations are now being mad for extensive operations. and it i probable that a big pant for tha purpose will be installed in the nev future.

EXPERT ADVICE ON
 PUMPING PLANTS
Prof. Finger Says Every Dry Farmer Can Raise Vege- tables
By Prof. A. L. Enser,

TUCSON. Jan. 24.-Every dry farmer in Arizona should raise enough vegetables to supply his own table and have some to sell besides. This can be easily done by the rancher if only he has a small water supply. in most of the dry-farm localities there is enough wind so that a l2-foot or li- foot windmill will irrigate an acre if the lift is not too high. If the wind mill is to be for irrigating purposes only, it shold be laoded heavily, that Is, it should have a large cylinder and long stroke so that it will pump only in a strong wind This is because the stronger winds have so much more power than light winds. A 10 mile an hour wind has eight times as much power as five mile wind. The wind mill which is heavily loaded will not pump often, but will pump a large quantity when there is a strong wind If the windmill is to supply water for
 household purposes also, the pumI
 cylinder should be smaller in orde
 that the windmill will pump in ligh
 winds and furnish a supply of watel
 every day. A small earth reseryoi
 will be necessary part of the smal
 irrigating system in order that thu
 rancher may store one or two days pumping This tank should have
 large outlet so that a good irligatinl [ head may be obtained and the irriga ton may be done quickly and econom ically A small gasoline engine VII
 furnish a more dependanbe suppl . than the windmill. For sizes large { than six horsepower, oil burning CT !. zines are recommended. A commo 3 mistake is to begin pumping in Apri !. Begin in January, and run the wate $ in deep furrows, then harrow, thu - storing the waterUin the soil durin l the months when the wind blows tn
 strongest.
