THE LIBERTY BELL"

On the morning of November 10th
the Liberty Bel" will be on eXhi-
bition at Bowie for thirty minutes.
Residents of the Gila Valley will
have the opportunity of viewing the
Liberty Bell" at that time, and it
would be a splendid idea to run an
excursion to Bowie on that day,
starting early in the morning to
reach Bowie in time for the train
that is bearing this grand historic
relic across the country.
The boards of school trustees Of
each town should get busy and make
arrangements for this excursion and
secure rates from the Arizona East
ern r. r. for special train, thus
giving the school children an oppor-
tuuity to view the relic which pealed
forth our nations freedom in l776.

LIVED l69 YEARS

The United States Public Health
Service and the various health
agencies of this country are work
ing to prolong the average duration
of life. In this they are obeylng
the desire for existence which is the
strongest instinct of mankind. Only
a small portion of the human race
rounds out its Tour OF duty on this
earth. Some people are born with
good bodies which they treat well.
Barring accidents, they live a long
time. Some people are born with
poor bodies which they treat we'll
Barring accidents, they can live to
ripe old age. Some people are
born with good bodies which they
treat badly and some people are
born with poor bodies which they
treat badly. They don't last long.
1t is recorded that in Yorkshire
in 1901. Henry jenkins was born.
He died in 1910, cut off at the age
of 1863. He remembered well the
battle of FIoden Field. This oc-
Cured in 1913, when he was twelve
years of age. The Register of
Chancery and other courts show the
administration of oaths to him l40
years prior to his death. He gave
deposition as witness when he was
l57. In his young manhood, when
he was little over 100, he was a
remarkable swimmer.
The term old age" too frequent
Iy is another name for the falling
due Of the debts of youth. Over
eating, over.drinking, over-playing,
over. working. these are drafts on
the bank of Nature which sooner or
later must be met. Sometimes the
dav of reckoning can be put off a
little bit, but Dame Nature will not
be wheedled out of her claim.
The remarkable thing about
Henry Jenkins is the fact that he
has left behind him no rules of liv
ing which would enable one to
duplicate his feat. In this he
showed great self-repression. AS a
matter of fact there is no royal road
to old age and it is not to be at
tanned by a particular dietary or
regimen of life. Perhaps the best
rule may be expressed in one word,
Moderation" Moderation in food. L.
moderation in drink, moderation in
the joys and worries of life, mod
Grafton in work, moderation in rec.
reation. equanimity of the mind,
the soul and the body. These make
for long tenure of life.

A FAMOUS HORSE RACE

| s'pose you've heard of Browning,
Who wrote mysterious things;
Of seraphim and angles,
And rustling of wings;
And then he'd speak Of ghosts and
crimes,
And mention wedding rings.
Well, sir, we studied Browning
And several of us famed;
The old professor size US up
And then he ID wave his hand,
And sadly shake his head and say
We didn't understand.
But there's one thing of Browning's,
With me it holds first place;
1t tells about three horsemen
Who rode famous race;
And never steed of recent times
Did set such furious pace.
These riders had message
To take from Ghent to Ak
Just what it was don't recall,
1t little difference makes;
The distance was hundred miles,
The winner take the stakes.
One rider rode little mare
She had a flowing name;
The second strode.a big strong roam,
At running he was game;
The third put my money on,
And Roland was his name.
You've heard some talk of Sheridan,
Who twenty miles did clear;
You've heard of old John Gilpin,
And read of Paul Revere;
They couldn't hold candle
In the race we're running here.
Scarce half the distance covered,
The mares foot struck stone;
The plucky little nag fell down
And broke her shoulder bone;
The big strong roam and Roland
Were running all alone.
The big strong roam and Roland
Went running neck and neck;
They sure did pound the country roads
They went past like speck;
You'd ought to read what Browning
says
About this race, by heck!
They rode like this for forty miles,
Their strength was almost gone;
Look" cried the rider of the roam,
There's AK, or Pm pawn.
Just then the big strong roam went
down
And Roland thundered on.
They got the news to AK all right,
And crowds turned out to see
The gallant steed that did the deed,
A noble horse was he;
Just read what Browning has to say,
And you'll agree with me.

FORD COMPANY FAVORS
OIL FROM WESTERN
CRUDE

The Petroleum News, in a recent
issue, published an article on oil
tests. Speaking of the Ford Com
pany's experience with oils, the
article says:
The Ford Company in. its huge
plant at Highland Park, Detroit,
maintains a we'll equipped laboratory
and a chemist with trained assistants
who are continually at work trying
to find the ideal motor oil for use in
Ford cars.
We worked for three years in
our laboratory before we found the
motor oil now being used in the
Ford plant, said C. T. Hobart. head
of the service department of the
Ford company.
Our experiments were first
made with oil made from Penn
sylvania crude, said Mr.. Hobart.
We found we had better success,
however, when we used western
crude. "

BARNES CIRCUS COMING

The Al. G. Barnes big three ring
wild animal circus will exhibit in
Stafford, Wednesday, November Sd,
giving performances at 200 and
500 p. m.
Much can be claimed for the
originality and genuine merit of
this big circus. There is all the
pomp and splendor of the circuses
we have known in the past. All
the glittering tinsel, sawdust rings,
inspiring music and grand entrance
of stately horses, ponies, elephants,
performers and clowns. Peanut and
pink lemonade vendors cry their
wares and add to the general good
spirit; yet, when the performance
starts, one instantly recognizes a
wide departure from the conven,
tional, stereotyped routine which
has prevailed since the earliest days
of tented entertainment.
Instead OF the usual, one sees the
very unusual in the Barnes program.
The principal acts are done by wild
and domestic animals in two rings
and a big steel-barred arena. These
animal actors number 900 and are
trained to an amazing degree of
proficiency. Such vim and dash dc
they put into their work that not a
dull moment is experienced from
the grand cavalcade entry until the
final group of man-eating lions are
driven to their cages.
There are acrobats, jugglers,
aerial performers. high divers, bare
back riders and all other forms of
circus entertainment, but, instead
of people appearing in the acts,
wild and domestic animals take their
places. Lions, Ieopards, pumas and
bears ride galloping horses; sea lions
juggle balls and other articles, dogs
and monkeys jump from the top of
the tent into nets; elephants act as
clowns and do many other comical
things; high school horses and beau
tiful ponies appear in brilliant dances
and military drills, in fact almost
every species of animal is shown as
an actor.
