 The rooms were beautifully decorated in the Xmas Greens, while the table shone resplend-- ent with miniature Xmas tree, lighted with tiny candles. The place cards were of holly wreaths- and gold wish bones.
 Mrs. P. M. Shafer won the first prize for progressive whist, which was an elegant silver picture frame. Miss Helen Stark captured twin golf hat pins for the conso- lation prize and Miss Watson re- ceived book of sketches from Burns.
 The afternoon entertainment was closed after a dainty three course luncheon.

COST OF RAISING
 CALVES AND PIGS

To California farmer asking for information regarding the cost oi raising calves and young pigs, Dr. R. H. Williams, Animal Husband- man of the University of Arizona Agricultural Experiment Station, replies: It is very unfortunate we ha-e~not this data at hand, but a few generalities may be of assist ance to you,
 It will cost about $35 to feed a calf the first year under Arizona conditions. The second year $25 should be sufficient. This second years estimate is made on the basis of alfalfa pasture at s2 Der month.
 Thus it is seen that the keep of a 2-year old heifer would amount to $6O.
 Hogs can be produced for about 5 cents 8 pound. The owner of a large hog ranch in this state told me that everything he secured for his 20O-lb. fat hogs above cost price of $4 per hundred was clear profit. Thus it would seem that there is large profit in producing hogs. He is especially we'll equip ped, raising 700 hogs year on 40 acres of alfalfa and supplementary feeds in the shape of barley and milo maize. If you have alfalfa and no special local market, I be- lieve hog production would be your best venture

The William A. Brady feature, ''The Dollar Mark, in five acts was presented at the Sultana Tuesday night to a large and ap- preciative audience. This is one of the best moving picture shows that was ever presented here and B. F. Sweetwood, the manager, deserves the commen- dation of the people of Williams for making it possible to see such acting. The play was fas- cinating from start to finish. This is one of the most expen- sive shows ever put on here and the manager is to be compile mented on securing it. No doubt he will produce others equally as good if the movie lov- ing people will support it.

BRADSTREETS FORECAST
 FOR THE YEAR 1915

With the results of 1914, that. ''year of hundred years'' in mind, one would be rash who would pin
 himself down to hard and fast pre- dictions as to the course of 1915. trade. On the stock market theory that all the bad news is out. any possible changes would seem to be- for the better. It needs to be re- membered that following the first crash of hostilities and the succeed ing recuperation, the effect of the- immense war expenditures has been stimulating one, and European as we'll as American industries ca-- tering in any way to war conditions have been accelerated. It was so, in our civil war, and there is histor-, ical basis for the claim that replac-- ing the waste of war has often given2 an impetus to varied line of in--. dustries. The financial results, the debts piled up, the ruin of the. fought over regions, the industries destroyed, the lives lost, the trade fol merly possessed gone beyond re- call, must be left to the future to record, but it must be remembered that the world as a whole inevitably. pays the bill as truly as the busi- ness community pays the loss from failure or from fire. The lot of the
 neutral in the war is not altogether q pleasant one-we in this country have felt this already but as the leading neutral country, position
 which it is to be hoped we will re- tain, we seem destined to fall heiE- to much of Europe's lost trade. On, the surface of things, it might be- said that we have completed in the form of bankruptcies vast volume of liquidation that, hurtful as it has been, will not need to be done. over. again. We now have reaL currency system, and the time-hon- ored American panic seems to have. lost most of its power for evil. It. is hoped that the bulk of our recent legislation, but notably the tariff and the ship registry bills, will bring us new customers. Our crops have been large, and, even wi:h the loss in cotton, have brought nearly as much money as the best of prey ious years. Our conduct as na- tion has made, not lost, us friends. among the bel!igerents, and some, of the events of the year have taught. our manufactures and statesmen the value, indeed, the necessity, of strengthening our industrial resour- ces, where the war has demonstra- ted that weaknesses exist. All in all, the American business man seems justified in taking leave of 1914 with few regrets and more hopes than seem possible at some. disturbed periods in the recent past

WHY NOT TRY II
 IN ARIZONA
Weekly Press Letter of the Bureau of Mines of the University of Arizona.

In keeping with the modern re- quirements, the faculty of the Col orado School of Mines at Golden, has decided to establish a short course for prospectors. This action is taken in order to promote the more efficient and scientific pros- pecting of Colorado mineral lands. The course of training will last only three weeks, but much infor- nation may be gleaned in that ime. It is Iaudable innovation, and one that should be ampli6ed.
 Nowadays before starting on a prospecting trip into the mountains it would not be amiss for the seeker of riches to have been previously graduated in geology, minerology, chemistry, mining engineering, law, and a few other dry but useful studies. Thus equipped, he should be able to cope with the most for midable problems that, like snarl- ing grizzly bears, confront him, and strive to bar his progress to- ward wealth. Mineral combina- tions, geological formations, com plicated methods of ore treatment, market values, assays, and much miscellaneous information should crowd his cranium to its utmost capacity. Unlike the old time prospector, he seeks for something besides gold and silver. At least a dozen different minerals which were unknown or ignored in the early days, now have a commercial value that make them well worth seeking; and ores that were consid- cred too refractory or low grade to merit attention are worked at a profit in this era of scientific ma- nipulation.
 The old time prospector did not need 8 technical knowledge to meet the demands of his calling, because he lived in a period when the min- ing industry was conducted along decidedly primitive lines, as com pared with present day activities. Thus rugged pioneers scorned all metals baser than gold and silver. He sought only the best that the treasury vaults of the Rockies afford ed, and he did not seek in vain. The west owes much to his enter prise and defiantperseverance. He discovered and developed mines that became famous the world over as heavy producers. His achieve ments attracted new settlers, and gave this part of the country the first real boom as desirable Ioca- tion for the profitable investment of capital and the establishment of homes.
 A few of the old timers still sur vive to. continue their quest for treasure. Although they have changed with changing conditions, and have acquired a more m odern knowledge of mining, they usually prefer to seek the more alluring gold and silver, as in former times. Ed.

AT FARMERS SHORT COURSE

Farmers from every part of Ari- zona are registered at the University of Arizona college of agriculture to take the short course which is now going on. On the opening day, January 4, more than twice as many people attended the lectures as the year previous. The most popular feature was the series of lectures for women. This year the women's lectures continued over three days and aroused much more interest even than was anticipated.
 Another feature of this year s short course is the number of practi- cal demonstrations that are being given. These enable the visitor to see how things are done as we'll as to be told how to do them. Another opportunity that is being offered by this years short course is the meet ing of well-known specialists from the U. s. Department of Agriculture at Washington, from the Utah agri- cultural college, the University of California and other institutions.
 A very stricking thing to every body is the high quality of those who are attending the short course. It would be difficult to get together anywhere in Arizona a more intelli- gent, enthusiastic and interested crowd of farmers than are now at Tucson.
 Preparations for the largest gov ernment exhibit ever made by one nation at an exposition are nearing completion in six of the exhibit palaces at the Panama-Pacific In. ternational Exposition. The dis play is that of the United States and is to occupy all told 173,O0O square feet of exhibit space. Its total cost will be in the neighbor- hood of $500, ,OOO.
 Nearly every one of the depart ments of the Federal Government is to be represented, the exhibits being distributed among the appro- priste palaces In the Palace oi Mines and Metallurgy the Bureau of Mines is constructing series oi model mines, beneath the floor. In the Palace of Machinery will be a display of the manufacture of arms and armament and all of the tech. nical and mechanical side of the army and navy operations; here also will be the exhibit of the light house department and a miniature model of a naval drydock. The largest display will be in the Libera Arts building where more than 66 900 square feet of space has been allotted to the government. Ex hibits will also be made extensive ly in the palaces of Agriculture Education and Food Products.
