A STATE MUSEUM

w. E. Barnes, Travelling Freight
and Passenger Agent of the Southern
Pacific Co., who was a visitor in
town Friday. is very much interested
in the proposition to establish a
Chair of Archaeology and a State
museum.
Mr.. Barnes has been largely in
Strumental in arOusing the interest
which is now being manifested all
over the State, in preserving the
priceless relics of antiquity, which,
though nanimate, speak of a people
whose existence dates back into the
obscure ages.
Our knowledge of the prehistoric
beings VINO inhabited the State of
Arizona, is but too limited and it be-
hOoves us, for our own enlighten-
ment, as well as that of the coming
generations, to devise some means
whereby these mute witnesses of an
eXtinguished nation or race can be
preserved for all time to come.
That these people were possessed
of considerable intelligence is eVi
denced by the fact that some of their
imperishable hand creations are
works of art. their great bitches or
canals, of which sufficient traces re-
main, are the products of skilfuI
engineering, and their fast disap-
pearing structures are of an archi-
tectural character.

AN ENJOYABLE TRIP

The sociabiity run to Duncan,
Arizona, and Lordsburg, New Mex
leo, was a very successful affair and
an event in the life of everyone who
made the trip.
We little realized what bunch OF
live ones we really were until this
history making trip was made, and
now we are sure of ourselves and
believe we are the real thing when
il comes to boosting our town and
valley.
We were royalty entertained by
the people of Duncan and we were
assured that Duncan would help in
the good work of boosting the ad-
vantages of the route from Lords
burg to Duncan and through the
ella valley to Globe, the Roosevelt
Dam and Phoenix.
At Lordsburg we were met by a
committee of the business men who
assured us that we owned the town,
and we did. u
A good supper was awaiting us
which was greatly enjOyed by every
member of the party.
In the evening our band gave a
concert in front of the theatre, after
which we attended the show, which
was also greatly enjoyed.
When the performance was over
we had the pleasure of speaking to
the crowded house and tell them
that we had come to get the CO.
operation of the people of Lordsburg
in making the route from Lordsburg
to Phoenix, by way of Duncan and
the Gila valley the popular road for
Eastern tourists.
The enthusiastic reception that our
party met with in Duncan and Lords
burg assures us that our sOciabiIity
trip made friends for our town and
valley and that the people OF Duncan
and LordSburg will boost our road
from now on.
The trip was timely and benfcial
and was one of the best things ever
done by our people in the way of
advertising our beautiful valley, the
garden spot of Arizona"

TO DEVELOP ARIZONA

Senate Bill No. "a, accepting the
provisions of the Smith Lever act, is
now on its way through the State
legislature. This bill accepts the
gift of $40, 100000 from the Federal
Government, as provided in the
Smith-Lever Act. This $l0,0O0.O0
is to be used in the giving of expert
advice and assistance to the farmers
of the State on their own farms.
BY its aid farm advisors will be
stationed in each county which pro-
vides sufficient funds in addition to
those of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, Smith Lever
Act and State available for each
locality. If the legislature does not
accept this money it will revert to
the Federal Government.
Senate Bill No. "a also empowers
boards of supervisors to appropriate
not to exceed $2,5OO.OO of county
funds per year for the purpose of
assisting in the support of county
farm advisors. The funds of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture for this purpose are con.
tributed with the understanding
that the county concerned shall
furnish 30 per cent of the funds
necessary. This will require in any
one county from $1,000 to $2,5O0
per year.
The bill is meeting with a friendly
reception. and in Arizona, as else
where in the United States, will
doubtless be approved by our legis-
lature.

RURAL SOCIAL CENTERs

We need social centers where our
young people can be entertained,
amused and instructed under the d.
rection of cultured, clean and com.
petent leadership, where aesthetic
surroundings stir the love for the
beautiful, where art charges the at
mosphere with inspiration and power,
and innocent amusements instruct
and brighten their lives.
To, hold our young people on the
farm we must make farm life more
attractive as well as the business Of
farming more remunerative. The
school house should be the social unit,
properly equipped for nourishing and
building character, so that the lives OF
our people can properly function
around it and become supplied with
the necessary elements of human
thought ard activity.

WHOOPING COUGH
Hills 10000 Children AZ
nuaIly in the United
States
- gfi

Whooping cough kills 10000 child
rem in the United States each year!
If these children were cremated in
school fires, wave OF horror would
spread over the country!
And yet, whooping cough may be
counted among the diseases which
are preventable-more preVentabIe
than fires!
And if bubonic plague instead of
whooping cough should kill 10000
Of our children in any one year, the
whole world would quarantine
against the United States,
Whooping cough is what is known
as a communicable disease. 1t is
transferred from the child who
whoops to the child who is too weak
to resist it, The sputum of the
disease in any stage are its chief
means of communication. There
fore, any action which will tend to
inhae or imbibe this sputum in any
quantity whatever should be eIimi
mated.
Under proper treatment the course
of whooping cough may be shortened
and the suffering reduced. Also,
proper care greatly reduces the
change for complications ensuing.
No "Whooping cough germ has
been isolated, though many have
claimed to have discQvered the bac-
terra which cause it. For the rea-
son that whooping cough and measles
have a tendency to appear coinci-
dentaIlv, it has always been thought
that the two are correlated.
1t is likely, however, that the only
relationship between the two lies in
their habit of breeding in unhygienlc
conditions which predispose to their
spread,
Do not let a child GO near a case
Of whooping cough.
This is especially important to be
observed. Children are in much
greater danger of death from whoop-
ing cough than are adults; but adult
persons often get and spread the
disease, and sometimes die from it..
Mild cases in adults may cause
fatal cases among children. Unless
your services are need, keep away
from the disease yourself. If you
do visit case, bathe yourself and
change and disinfect your clothing,
hair and hands, before you go where
there is a child.
Do not permit any person or
thing, or a dog, cat or other animal
to come from a case of who0ping
cough to a child. No cat or dog
should be permitted to enter the
sick room.
Beware of any person who has a
sore throat.
Do not kiss or come near to such
person. Do not drink from the
same cup, blow the same whistle, or
put his pen or pencil in your mouth.

CONVINCING EXPERIMENT

1t does not need any special ar
gument or showing of facts to con
vince Wisconsin dairymen of the
great superiority of corn ensilage as
an economic feed for cows Those
who have combined the silage with
alfalfa hay get still greater results, "
says Hoard's Dairyman, and con
tinues:
But we know there are skeptics
among our readers in other States.
For their special benefit we give the
following brief account of trial
carried on by the Minnesota College
of Agriculture:
Two hundred and sixteen cows
were fed on silage as compared with
239 cows fed on dry rations. The
results showed that the silage fed
cows produced SO pounds more of
butterfat yearly per cow than the
other cows. This amounted to $3.50
per cow in favor OF feeding sIage
The following year another trial
was had with a grain in favor of the
silage fed cows of AZ pounds of but
terfat. The siage fed cows con-
sumed 81 10 worth of feed more
than the dry fed cows, but when
this is subtracted they still show a
decided gain over others.
so far as the harvesting of an acre
of corn and putting it into the silo,
or harvesting it for the crib and
binding the stalks, the cost is about
the same. But we have decided
loss in the feeding value of the dry
stalks that we save in The silo."

tearing down the old residence OF

The message, written on part of leaf

placed between the walls of the house.
1t read as follows:
This house was plastered by James
McBurney, and it was a damned dry

1t was dated May %, 1859. The bot
tie contained a label reading as fol-

house was a fine one in its day, and
was we'll made, the plastering being
specially well done, which may be ac-
