Their Great Scheme

A local couple, recently mar
ried, hit upon a scheme for saw
ing what they figured was just
about right. Each month they
would save a certain sum each
day. The first day one cent, the
second day two cents, third four
cents. Each day the amount
was to be doubled until the end
of 80 days. By that time they
would have a tidy sum laid away.
Before starting the husband
figured out just how much would
be accumulated in this way. At
ter laborious work he found the
amount to be something like $5,-
300, 600, so after considering the
matter they decided that one dol
lar a week would be about their
speed. Youngstown Telegram.

MOuui Indians Lose
Sheep In Heavy Shows

A recent dispatch from Flag
staff tells the following story:
Miss Kate Cory is in receipt
of a letter from the Moqui vii
lagos in Navajo county, which
states that tribe of Indians has
been heavy losers this winter in
sheep, from deep SHOWS, and
practically their accumulations
of years have been wiped out.
The sheep were in winter feed
ing grounds in the Chin Lee
Mountains on the reservation
and when the snow storms oc-
Cured the animals were unable
in their weakened condition to
get to the place where fodder
could be given them. The gov
erment has started to build wind
mills throughout the reserve to
foster the livestock of these in
dustrious wards. In summer or
winter this tribe has been afflict-
ed, two years ago an epidemic of
small pox taking away over a
hundred souls.

Death of a Little Child

Mr.. and Mrs. A. Leroy Pen
rod were called to mourn the
death of their little daughter,
Daisy May, who was called to
the Great Beyond on March 18,
1915, at 2 p. m., at their home
in Pinetop. Arizona. They have
only one lonely little boy left,
Edwin, to make their home hap
py. We all join in giving them
a word that their bereaved hearts
may be cheered.
Death once more has been among us,
Our loved Daisy is gone;
Who was near and dear to US
Thus we're falling one by one.
While aff1iction's surge comes Ger you
Look beyond the darkening wave!
See brighter scene before you,
Hail the trump Ger the grave.
Though your lovely child is taken
From your bosom to the urn;
Soon the sleeping dust will waken,
And its spirit will return.
Yes, again you will behold it,
Fairer than the morning ray;
In your arms you will enfold it,
Where all tears are wiped away. y
IT'S true the trial was severe,
That tore her from your breast;
But Oh! do not desire her now,
For she has gone to rest.
When lying suffering on your knee. +
Your heart was like to break,
And oft you sighed and wept alond,
Oh! could my child but speak!
Shed not for Daisy the bitter tear, -
Nor give your heart to sore regret;
IT'S but the casket that lies there,
The gem that fill'd it sparkles yet.

SCRAPS OF HISTORY
(By Joseph Fish,

In November, 1874, Barrado,
John Walker and George Bryant
located at "Horse-head" cross
ing on the Little Colorado River.
This place was called "Barrado"
but later the name was changed
to Holbrook. Walker and Bry-
ant did not remain here long.
Drawing out they left the place
to Barrado, who remained, keep
ing a kind of trading post.
(This Walker was the same man
that built the first house in the
st. Johns valley.)
At the point of the hill, about
one mile and a half above Bar
RADIOS place, is where Kit Car
son established a temporary
camp during the Navajo war in
1854, calling the place Camp
Supply.
The first mail line through
northern Arizona ran down the
Little Colorado river by the Bar
RADIO place, from Santa Fe to
Prescott. In the latter part OF
the sixties three men starte i
out with the first mail, two Of
whom were killed by the In
dians, and the line was aban-
doned. 1t was, however, again
started in July, 1874, and in Oc-
tober, James D. Houck under
took to carry the mail. This
was about the third trip that
had been made from Fort Win
gate to Prescott. It was week
ly mail and carried on horse
back, the time being six days
from Wingate to Prescott. One
of the riders, Dan HENDERSON,
was shot by Indians at Hardy's,
a kind of station about twelve
miles east of the present town
of Winslow. He was shot with
a tin bullet, and might have re-
covered if he had had the proper
treatment and care. He, how
ever, got as far as Emigrant
Springs, near the eastern line
of the Territory, before he died.
When St. Joseph was settled a
postofice was established there
with John McLaws as post
master-the first Office in this
part of Arizona-and for some
time Fort Apache people got
their mail from this office, send
over a blackboard once a week
for that purpose.

Two LitterS a Year

The following was taken from
the Weekly Press Letter of
March 20 issued by the Exten-
sion Service and contains almost
verbatim the advice given by
Prof. Barnes in his "hog produc-
ton" lecture here last week:
There is no reason why a
sow in Arizona should not bring
two litters each year when prop
erly handled. The best time
for these litters to be dropped
would be in March and October.
Allow the SOW at least three
weeks to one month before
breeding again, thus giving her
time to recuperate after she has
nursed the pigs. She should not
be fat, but in a good thrifty
condition when bred. Brood
sows which are overfat at breed
ing time, or at any time unless
intended for slaughter, bring
small. weak litters. Uneasy
and poor mothers may also re-
suit from such practice. Breed
ing animals of every class thrive
more vigorously on variety of
feed regularly fed. Further
more, there is a direct relation
prevailing between inactivity
and lack of exercise on the part
of breeding animals and NOR
tality among their young.
Brood sows should not be
fed for at least "a hours after
farrowing, because they are
feverish, more or less excited
and the system is not in a con-
dition to consume food. When
fed too soon after farrowing,
the SOW is brought to her milk
too soon and the pigs will get
too much milk, will develop
scours and often die. They are
SO valuable you cannot afford to
lose one. Danger of caked I'D
der also results from such i'm
proper practice. Feed lightly
during the first two or three
days and have the feed of a
laxative nature, so as to keep
the bowels open.

disappointed to learn that instead OF

Mrs Coombs is a native Of Texas,

he decided to forego the pleasure of

FOR STATE TICKET

Boston, Oct. 31.-Samuel w. Nc

rally in fremont Temple last night.
For 20 or more minutes he stood at
the front of the stage waiting for an
opportunity to begin the delivery of
his speech, while around and below
him the vast audience was cheering
madly.
"A half dozen times during tho
tumultuous reception he attempted to
seize the few seconds when the dem
onstration Jagged a little, but it was
all in vain. Before he had chance
to speak the applause broke out anew.
In the end he was obliged to signal
again and again to quell the enthu-
siasts who with cheers and chorus
cries, were ready to continue for an
hour or more.
The rally, in point Of numbers,
broke all records, Democratic as well
as Republican, in, recent years.
