MARKETING COTTON

The announcement that the busi- ness men and farmers are organizing in an effort to finance the Southern cotton crop through the European crisis, is one of the most important events that has shown up on the in- dustrial horizon for many years.
 There have been numerous plans sprung out of this great problem whereby the farmer could chase the bear to his den at so much per chase, but the bear always escaped, and the farmer was usually caught, and many would-be financiers have talked as voluminously on the subject as book farmer discussing the boil weevil But the present plan cuts out the mid dleman. The man with the cotton and the man with the money are now talk ing face to face, and it is a great hour for Dixieland.

SOCIAL CENTERS

The crying need of rural Arizona is social centers where our young people can be entertained, amused and in- structed under the direction of cul- tured, clean and competent leadership, where aesthetic surroundings stir the love for the beautiful; where art charges the atmosphere with inspira- tion and power, and innocent amuse- ments instruct and brighten their lives.
 To hold our young people on the farm we must make farm life more attractive, as we'll as the business of farming more remunerative. The school house should be the social unit, equipped for nourishing and building character, so that the lives of our people can properly function it and become supplied with the necessary elements of human thought and activity.

THE PARCEL POST

The opinions of few postmasters in big offices have been given out at Postoffice Department, and these gen. tlemen generally agree that the par eel post is a success. While the de- partment has been trying to find new ways in which to utilize the service, the fact that the rates are almost fool ishly arranged through the present zone system, has been allowed to stand.
 It is difficult to disturb existing con- ditions in the government service. even if founded upon on improper basis, that the excessive rates for long distance and cheap rates for the short hauls, may not be modified for years. Therefore it follows that the business will stick to the postoffice system, while the express companies will continue to get the cream. Perhaps, after all, som4 of these gentlemen may have had some thing to do with the arranging of this inefficient system of rates for the ?arcel post

boy fourteen years of age may be supposed to earn $4 a week; siA teen years, $5; eighteen years, $7; twenty years, $9.5O; twenty-two years, $11; twenty-four years, SIP; twenty five years, SIS; all the above suppos- ing he leaves school at fourteen years of age when he has finished the gram mar course. His total earnings at the end of the twenty-fifth year are $5,7OO.
 Now, suppose he goes to high school and stays there until he is eighteen years of age. His weekly earnings then may be supposed to $1O at twen- ty years; $15 at twenty-two years; $2O at twenty-three; $24 at twenty. four; and twenty-five years, $3O. His total earnings at the end of twenty five years will be $7,35O. Therefore, the income for the twenty-fifth year due to the value of four years in the high school will be $SS4 more than 1t would have been if the boy had left school at fourteen. So the increased money value due to the four years ln high school is equal to an invest ment of $17,6S0 at five per cent.

THE WAR AND THE FARMER

What is great loss to the world as whole ought to result in some benefit to the farmers of the United States. The agriculture of Europe has been practically suspended. With the vast majority of her able bodied men fighting in the various armies, Europe will be prevented from reap ing this years or sowing next years crops, but her demand for food will continue unabated. It is the privilege as we'll as the duty of the American farmer to supply this demand.
 While the farmers of Europe are fighting, the families of Americans must SOW and reap as they have never done before Theirs is the part to fill with golden grain the hungry hands that will soon be stretched across the sea. The duty of feeding famished Europe must fall largely upon American farmers. It is a duty at once humanitarian and profitable.

Look well to their record. What they have done many times in years gone by is the best guarantee of fu- ture results. Any one with a bad back; any reader suffering from urinary troubles, from Kidney ills, should find comforting words in the following statement
 For some time I was troubled by pain across my kidneys an dsides," says J. A. Rees, railroad engineer, of Palace Hotel, Prescott,A rig. I think the complaint was due to cold which settled on my kidneys. If I stopped or brought strain on the mus cles of my back, I suffered more se- verely. Having heard good reports about Doan's Kidney Pills, I got a box and began using thAp. They brought me relief. I haven't needed kidney remedy for years.

 Announcing the correspondents and the newspapers that are attending strictly to their own business and serving their readers with actual facts at very low price.
 Some of the bravest men of the war are the men who send their telegrams from the front, who take photograph under fire and slip them across un- friendly frontiers, who seek to tell the world at it's supper and breakfast tables of the doings of the day and night They are away from family and country and friends, doing the days work for the daily bread, with never medal in sight. They are among the solid, real heroes of the hour.

A SQUARE DEAL

The National Farmers Union is de, handing square deal from Congress and State Legislature on the market ing of farm products.
 The federal and state governments have been spending millions of dollars annually in urging the farmer to in- crease production, but little attention has been given to the marketing side of the question.
 It is a we'll known paradox that the larger the crop the less the value and stimulent to production without corresponding aid in marketing, loses much of it's worth to agriculture. t. The Nation is fast awakening to the fact that marketing, and not produc- tion, is the problem of the farmer.

ANOTHER CHANGE TO BAI.

The interstate Commerce Commis- sion has permitted the railroad con- panies to reopen their case for a five per cent increase in freight rates. It is said that one of the big eastern railroads, in renewing several million dollars worth of notes, has been con- pelled to pay seven per cent interest This railroad is not one of the insti- tutions that has been attacked for i'm proper methods of financing, but is one of the most reputable of the lot The Washington is inclined to lend an attentive ear to the railroads since the latter have given up the job of trying to run the government, and are evidently prepared to get down to brass tacks, to show the Interstate Commerce Commission just how matters stand.
 The thousands of stockholders whose dividends have been growing shy for a long time have been bring ing pressure upon Washington, and very likely the reopening of the rail road case indicates that the strong arm of the government is ready to desist from the delivery of it's crah- ing knockout blows.

KINGS OF THE KICKERS

The Santa Fe Railroad is likely to find that it has tackled a buzz saw in seeking to prevent Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane from carry ing out his plans for surveying gov ernment land in this state. The Santa Fe people have been considered kings of the kickers whenever any proposition has been put forward which meant that they were co CO., operate with the local or federal gov ernments in advancing the interests of the sections through which their holdings in four townships in Arizona, lines operate. In the present in stance Secretary Lane seeks to have the railroads bear a portion of the cost of the surveying government and the railroad, fearing that a new precedent might be established, has brought test case in order to head off any move that would result in the railroad being compelled to make an advance payment for the survey of the alternate odd numbered sections of lands which it possesses.
 A great deal has been said about the land grant trust, and very recently the Commissioner of Corporations called attention to the fact that a small coterie of interests controlled the great timber and land holdings of tn. west, and Commissioner Devies did not hesitate to say that these people were "obstructionists in every sense It is known that Secretary Lane en- tertains similar views, and it is not unlikely that he is going to tolerate the interference of the Santa Fe sys- tenn in preventing the proper survey or the unsurveyed lands of the West
 MT. Lane has an antipathy toward the evident policy of the railroad 10 prevent development, and he will like ly welcome a test of strength with the Santa Fe.

LOOKING FOR UTOPIA

Secretary Lane has received a rather curious communication that ar rived in the Department of the In- terior. MT. Lane has the say SO over the public domain, but he is unable to do anything for his inquirer, who wrote as follows:
 Has your Uncle Samuel any real estate in the land of the Arkansawyer that he would dispose of to a man afflilted with that tired feeling? A 40, an so or 160 acre where one thus handicapped could get his living with gun and fishing tackle? Where he could have a good swimmin' hole and canoe up and down without lot or hindrance; free from skeeters, niggers and chills? I must remark to you that if the revered kinsman aforesaid is inclined to load his legacy with conditions, such as i'm provements galore, I must look else where, as I wish to revert to the con dition of the cave dweller, except ing that I should want to take Virgil, Boswell'S life of Johnson and a Bible and mayhap a fiddle.

WHERE BRAVERY IS OVER-
 LOOKED

There is no necessity for a defense of the newspapers and the newspaper methods of this country; but there seems to be occasion for setting right a large number of persons, who, fail ing to have much business on theiN own account, are willing to spend their idle hours criticising, humorous ly, a profession that has had to do with the making of all modern history.
 It is a fact that practically all of the positively stated announcements concerning the present war have been based on actual occurrences. It is common thing to hear loose-talking persons say that they will be glad to find the truth about the war in Europe" The person who makes this statement deliberately is either fool ish or morally oblique Men of the type of Henry Wood, Sam Blythe, John McCutcheon, Irving Cobb, Ed ward Keen, do not send untruths about occurrences in Europe. This news may not be always to the liking of sympathizers of France or Germany or England, but, in the main, it is accurate and unvarnished. When it was stated in the dispatches that the Germans were losing men around I .inOn tho cfo true, and were not in any sense a reflection on the German soldiers who were storming fortified positions with all valor.

:" HOW ID LIVE
 ONE HUNDRED YEARS
THIS IS THE NAME OF A NEW BOOK BY EUGENE CHRIS
 THAN, F. s. D.

Eugene Christian, F. s. D., the worlds greatest Food Scientist, has just published a new book called How to Live 100 Years"
 This book tells you what to eat according to your age, your work and the time of the year. It teaches you how to select, how to combine and so as to establish perfect digestion and assimilation of food and perfect elimination of waste. In other words, 1t teaches you how to cure all stomach and intestinal disorders by removing their causes, which Is wrong eating.
 If you have indigestion, gas, fermen- tation, sour stomach or any such dis orders after a meal, this book tells you how to put the remedy on your table at the next meal.
 Dr. Christian shows that all animals bow to proportion your food at meals except man live about eight times as long as it takes them to get their growth. If man should do this he would live nearly 200 years; but civi- lized man dies at the average age of 39. He begins to lose his teeth, his eyes and his hair, and drops into his grave only a few years after he is grown.
 
 Dr. Christian shows that 22 per cent of all the human beings born into the world die before they are one year old. Twenty-Five per cent more die before their fifth birthday, and more than half of the human race die before they are twenty-five.
 All other animals on the globe live eight times as long as it takes them to get their growth. Man breathes the same air, drinks the same water, lives under the same sunshine, but differs from his brother animals only in his eating, therefore Dr. Christian shows conclusively that this appalling discrepancy must be on account of his eating habits and he has proved that his theory is true by curing over 23,O00 people within the past ten years by teaching them what to eat and how to eat. How to Live 100 Years" gives the secret of his methods.
 This book does not disarrange or upset the family table. It teaches the housewife what foods the meal should be composed of, so as to make them harmonious and perfectly and healthy.
 This book is beautifully bound in velum, and gold lettered. Send one dollar to Dr. Eugene Christian, 213 West 18th Street, New York City, and you will receive this life-saving book by return mail, and if it is not worth its weight in gold your money will be promptly refunded to you.

THE CALL OF THE FARM

There never was a time in the his tory of our country when agriculture was as inviting as it is today, when brains and brawn would bring as sat- isfactory results from the farm.
 With the trades and professions in cities greatly overcrowded, the farm becomes more and more bright and beckoning star of hope to millions of young men.
 Surplus energy of the cities would do we'll to turn it's attention to the farm, and the wise youth of the coun- try will stay right where he is-where opportunity is always before him.
 Keep your eye upon the green fields of the country, for there 8 no better place.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies Deafness is caused by an iniamed condi- tion of the mucous lining of the Eusta- chian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result and unless the in hammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh which Is nothing but an inf1amed condi- tiOn of the mucous surfaces.
