"ONCE OVERS"

You must expect that boy of yours
to have a nickname when he starts
to school.
If he does not get one he does not
amount to much in the estimation
of those with whom he associates.
1t may be somewhat of a shock to
you when you hear him called
Nut, Bee" "Pud." or Stats, "
but if he is a real boy he will get
some other name than the one you
so carefully selected for him, and
one which you never miss syllable
pronouncing.
What red-blooded American boy
is going to say Archibald when
Arch" will do just as well?
The boy who is called Stub" to-
day is more than likely to be the
one who will amount to something in
the future.

NAVAJO AND MOQUI SCRIP
SUSTAINED

Advices from Washington, dated
September .2lst, are to the effect
that the Secretary of the Interior
has cancelled the suspension made
at the instance of the Arizona Land
Commission when Mulford Winsor
was at its head, of land entries that
were covered by the Santa Fe scrip,
issued in lieu of lands granted the
Atlantic & Pacific Railway in the
Navajo and Moqui Indian Reserva-
tions; and that the scrip entries are
sustained, with a result that all who
had applied for lands to be covered
by scrip will receive patents as soon
as may be convenient under pro,
cedure of the General Land Office
This matter has been in allegiance
many months and it has caused nc
little inconvenience and i'll feeling
The State Land Commission sought
to save TO the State, under the enab
ling act, many choice locations that
were siezed upon through the SCRIP
by land spectators and mOnopollsts
Upon the other hand there were
actual settlers who sought to acquire
title by scrip to the lands they oc
cupied rather than depend upon the
slow process of homestead entry
residence and cultivation. To the
latter the suspension of their entrie!
under the scrip seemed a rank in
justice and they were given genera
sympathy. Now their wrongs are
righted and they will get title t
their lands; but the tail goes with
the hide" and many tracts of valu
able lands will be patented to those
who should not have them, while

petrated by an act of Congress goe

OUR MISNAMED RUINS

Many visitors to the prehistoric
Cliff Dwellings Of the Mesa Verde
National Park in southwestern COIo-
RADIO are aStonished to find that
what is commonly described as a
dwelling is not properly dwelling
at all but a village or city. The
celebrated Cliff Palace is not a
palace. Neither is Spruce Tree
House house, nor Balcony House
a house. Each of these is com
pIete town which once, in the dim
ages before the earliest Indian tradi-
ton. was an organized community,
often of considerable size,
The arrangement of houses in a
dwelling of the size of Cliff Palace,
for example, is characteristic and
intimately associated with the dis.
triDution of the social divisions of
the inhabitants. The population
was composed Of a number of units,
possibly clans, each of which had its
own social organization more or less
distinct from others, a condition
that appears in the arrangement of
rooms. The rooms occupied by a
clan were not necessarily connected,
although generally neighboring
rooms were distinguished from one
another by their uses.

The Man Who Quits

The man who quits has brain and hand
As good as the next; but he lacks the
sand
That would make him stick with cour-
age stout
To whatever he tackles and fight it out.
He starts with a rush and solemn vow
That he'll soon be showing the others
how;
Then something new strikes his rowing
eye,
And his task is left for the bye and bye.
It's up to each man what becomes OF
him;
He must find in himself the grit and
vim
That brings success; he can get the skill,
If he brings to the task steadfast will,
No man is beaten till he gives in;
Hard luck can't stand for a cheerful
grin;
The man who fails needs better ex'
cuse
Than the CUTTERS whining, Whats
the use?"
For the man who quits let's his chances
slip,
Just because he's too lazy to keep his
grip.
The man who sticks goes ahead with 6
shout,
While the man who quits joins the
down and out.
The Metropolitan.

ARIZONA STATE FAIR

The annual and official premium
lists are now being circulated to all
the prospective exhibitors of the
Arizona State Fair. There is a slight
difference in the size of the present
book and those of former years, but
the books are Uniform with nearly
all the state fairs of the country. A
vast amount of information is listed
in these premium lists, as well as
many attractive advertisements and
illustrations of the State Fair &C,

many people throughout the South,

of the best annual exhibits and race

RAILROAD TAXATION

There is Just one thing which the
railroads and the people cannot
escape in any event, namely, taxes.
Railroad taxes have risen from less
than sixty-two million of dollars IN
1904 to one hundred and forty mil
lions in 1914 That is, they have
risen one hundred and twenty. seven
per cent in this ten.year period. un-
til now out Of each one hundred
dollars the railroads collect they
have to pay in taxes four dollars and
sixty cents. This means that Of their
net income after paying their operat-
ing expenses only. the railroads have
to pay in sixteen dollars out Of every
hundred, and that Is before paying
any interest on money borrowed or
dividend to any shareholder. The
railroads expect to pay their share
of the taxes, but the variety and X
tent of taxes paid by the railroads
is of interest to the people simply
IN this, that the increasing burdens
of railroad taxation. now aggregat-
ing over one hundred and forty
millions Of dollars, have to Ue met
by the railroads out of their earn
ingS.
Consequently it is in the public
interest that the margin between
operating income and operating ex-
penses be wide enough to enable
just taxes to be paid and just com
pensation given to employees, with
out impairing the physical property
and equipment which should be
maintained at high standard of
excellence. As matters stand "A com
parison of the tenyear interval 1914
TO 1914 shows that operating revenues
uf the raj roads increased tifty-fOur
per cent. while taxes and operating
EXPENSES, which do not include
wages, increased sixty six per cent.
The net revenue remaining to pay
wages and for other purposes in
creased but forty nine per cent. OF
this forty nine per cent, which rep
respnts an increase of six hundred
and eighty-seven millions Of dollars,
sky eight per cent Nr five hundred
and fifty.fve millions was the in
creased expenditure for wages, al
though the number of employees in
creased only thirty-one per cent, and
the mileage of the railroad operated
increased less than seventeen per
cent. Southern Pacific Bulletin.

AMERICANS SAVING CASH

In recent interview Franklin X.
Lane, Secretary of the Interior, eX-
pressed himself as gratihed with the
public interest in the development
of our great National Parks. The
number of visitors has been steadily
increasing" he said, but this sum-
mer's travel will be far ahead of
other seasons. AS the magnitude,
beauty, and healthfuIness of the
parks are better understood it may
be expected that the yearly travel
to them will rapidly increase. Thus,
the damage caused by the war is
being neutraIized by inducing Amer
leans to spend money at home. The
whole country is the gamer by this
intermingling of the people Of the
East and the West. "
Secretary Lanes modest estimate
of at least a hundred million
dollars" that Americans are saving
to America this year is, indeed, con
servative in comparison with the
figures compiled by Lockwood Barr,
editor of the Wall Street JOurna
who finds that the 600, 900 Americans
who go abroad each normal year
spend in passage money alone,
nearly $S7,O00,000 Most of the
steamship lines of course ,arefOreign.
1t is quite impossible" ," he con-
tinues, to get even a fair approXi-
nation of the amount of money
tourists spend while abroad in hotel
bills, railroad, steamboat and other
forms of transportation, gratulties,
etc. An estimate by one who comes
in contract with a representative
part of the regular summer exodus
Of Americans to Europe places the
amount of money spent in this wise
at very conservative minimum Of
1920, 900, 900.

When mother is awakened from
sound sleep to find her child who has
gone to bed apparently in the best

is naturally alarmed. Yet if she
can keep her presence of mind and
give Chamberlain Cough Remedy
every ten minutes until vomiting is
produced, quick relief will follow
