In travelling over the upland
South we constantly see farmers
almost wasting their time on
poor hillsides while rich black
bottom lands on the same farm,
lands capable of producing three
times as much per acre, are not
in cultivation. 1t frequently
happens that labor expended on
a poor hillside is not giving the
laborer a return of more than so
cents a day for his work. where
as labor expended on the rich
bottom lands would pay for la
Dor possibly two or three dollars
per day in net profits. The po-
Icy is about as foolish as it would
be for a man to pillow with a poor
OK while letting a strong Per-
cheron horse stand idle in a
stable. Drainage work offers
fine field for cooperation among
farmers, and we hope many
readers will study the further
discussion of this subject in this
issue and get ready for improv-
ing upon their opportunities.

The trail of sword and fire and misery?
What shall be done for nations desolate,
For the long centuries fruit despoiled
so ruthlessly?

tured earth
Again the grain shall grow. Upon the
ways g. men
Patient, as ever in the world, again
The sister muses. with their golden seed
Shall SOW the undying arts, that from
each storm
Of tears and blood, have lifted men
again
Perennially.
See now, as in dream, the sisters go
With misty garments, over the fam
ished ground
Of a dead yesterday, while from their
hands
Fly glimmering seeds Of purer hours
to bel
And it may happen then mems feet
stand
More firmly for a storm that clears
the land!

THE SACRED URN

Mary and Nora had lived as faith:
full domestics for many years in a
house whose only other occupants
were two old maids. One of these
was a believer in cremation. Nora
took trip to Ireland. During her
absence the old maid mentioned
died. Her dust was reverently put
in an urn above the sitting room
fireplace, where the remaining sister
could always have a sense of the
departed's presence.
A year later Nora returned. to
the surprise of Mary, who gave her
a warm welcome.
Pm glad to see ye back" said
Mary, taking the wraps,
Pm glad to be back" said Nora
then added-"is there any chance
of comm to live wild ye again?"

THROUGH ALL THE WEARY
YEARS OF WAITING

Through all the weary years of waiting,
Midst the Greary scenes of dearth and
distress,
The tardy hand of cruel Fate still be-
lating
To turn one, bright CLEAN Of hope and
bless
The hapless heart, that now lies bleed
ing,
From wounds once healed, but now
once more torn
By ruthless eyes in mockery. unheeding
The flow of tints as crimson as the
morn.
For what matters that our lives are
riven,
Or we, as wanderers roam the rugged
earth,
From one land to other lands are driven,
Far from the hallowed scenes surround
ing birth;
Like some lone "pariah'' in his daily
rounds,
Without hearth or home, or place to
feast,
When all the land in plenty now
abounds,
He roams its broad domain; as roams
the beast.
Oh, dismal depths of dreary, wasting
years,
Now cease and bring the tenderer touch
of Time"
To free the burden'd heart and wipe
away the tears,
That flow afresh from wounds in ev ry
cline,
As if "old Nature" held no stock in
store
For some, who fain would be like
others blest,
And from the bounteous Hand implore
Some sweet boon which would bring
them lasting rest,
All! happy day-dreams of the fast,
heeting years,
What hallowed mem ries cluster round
you now,
To cheer the heart and drive away the
foolish fears
Of gloom and disaster circling round
thy brow;
Which fain the soul would fill with
anguish,
Amidst all the checkered scenes of life,
And leave US midst their dreary depths
to languish, .,
When love and life are teeming with
abundance rife.
Away, ye goblins of the narrowed past,
Why should we dwell amongst your
visions clad
In Sorrows garb, amidst things which
only last
To becloud the brow and make the
soul sad,
With woeful thoughts of "What might
have been,"
Had we as others have got the souls
desire"
Or life had been one flowing sky, of
silvery sheen,
Filled with light from some celestial

BATTLESHIP ARIZONA

The thirty-ninth battleship built
for the American navy since 1892
will take the water tomorrow, June
10th, when the superdreadnaught
Arizona, slips from the ways of the
New York navy yard,
Compared to the first American
battleship, the Indiana, launched in
1893, the Arizona will be nearly
twice as long, half again as wide
and of three times as great displace-
ment. Against the Indiana's four
l3-inch guns and eight s inch, the
Arizona will carry twelve l4inch and
twenty-five 5-inch rifles, the same
armament as her sister ship, the
Pennsylvania, recently launched at
Newport News, Va.
The Arizona guns have a range,
even at the low elevation of Ameri-
can navy mountings. of fifteen miles
or more, against eight or nine miles
for the old thirteens.
Immediately upon the launching
of the Arizona the keel of the navy
departments greatest experiment
in naval construction. the electrically
driven superdreadnaught California,
will be laid at the New York yard.
She will be nearly thousand
tons heavier than the Arizona, al
though carrying the same equip
ment and arrangement of guns; but
it is expected to develop greater
speed than 2l knots desired of the
Arizona. She will carry only 9l5
men as against the 1,0l2 needed to
handle smaller ships This is due
to the improvement in mechanical
appliances for battleships. and also
for oil as fuel
When the Arizona goes into COM
mission her cost to the country will
have reached the huge total of $l6,-
900, 900 or more.

COLLEGE OF MINES

A large enrolment in the College
of Mines at the University of Ari.
zona is an assured thing for the fall
opening. There are at present 200
under graduates of other mining
schools in Arizona working for the
summer and many of then have al
ready signified their intention of
finishing their work at the State
University.
They are attracted by the prosper
Gus condition of the mining industry
in the State and by the new features
added to the College of Mines work
for next year.
A peculiarly attractive feature to
be added is the application of the
Gary system to mining education.
This is impossible to apply in other
mining colleges, but owing to the
advantageous geographical location
of Tucson, this is to be put in vogue
at the University of Arizona.
By this system the mining STU
dents in the senior year will use the
field as their laboratory approx
mately half of the time and their
work will be in the actual opera
tons at successful mines. This
method gives decided advantages in
teaching the application of the
theory to practice as well as giving
the student a MUCH broader and
practical training. The University
fears no competition on its new fea.

in the United States that is so situ-
ated that this system may be used

LOVE IN THE WINDS

When l am standing on a mountain
crest
Or hold a tiller in the dashing sprays,
My love for you leaps foaming in my
breast,
Shouts with the winds and sweeps to
their foray.
My heart bounds with the horses of
the sea,
And plunges in the wild ride of the
night,
Flaunts in the face of tempests the
large glee
That rides out fate and welcomes
Gods to fight.
Ho, love, / laugh aloud for love of you,
Glad that our love is fellow to rough
weather;
No fretful orchid hothoused from the

But hale and hearty as the highland

Rejoicing in the wind that stings and

NEEDS AND THE
CHURHES

There is chronic complaint con-
corning the chronic emptiness of
the pews in the American churches
What is the matter with our
churcheS?" is the theme of never
ending controversy. Efficiency ex-
perts have advised scores of rem
edies, from consolidation to adver-
tising, yet the number Of vacant
seats do not grow less.
Is it true, then, that mans spirit
ual nature is being smOthered under
the increasing size and pressure of
his physical needs?
Late in April J. F. Rutherford, a
New York attorney, and the Rev.
j. H. Troy, Baptist minister, de-
bated for three evenings in one of
the largest of the Los Angeles audi
tOriums, the subject of the debate
being the state of the dead accord
ing to the teachings of the Scripture.
The attorney denied the existence
of state Of everlasting torment,
the Baptist interpreted the Bible to
prove that the wicked and unbe-
levers would find eternal punish
ment in hell.
During these debates the vast
auditorium was crowded to the
doors. There was no music, motion
pictures were not shown; no white
robed choir lifted its voice. The
program consisted merely of an in
terchange of opinions concerning
the proper Interpretation of the
Bible, No one appealed to the
emotions; no magnetic, well adyer-
tised evangelists painted lurid word
pictures. Yet the auditorium was
crowded to capacity.
Does this attendance show a lack
of interest in things spiritual?
Or does the interest in the de-
bate show that vast multiludes of
thoughtful men and women are
deeply concerned in the fundamental
principles underlying every religion,
that they are sincerely seeking light
on the path that leads into darkness
beyond the grave. whereas imitation
vaudeville shows and the mere eX-
pounding of hairspitting differences
in sectarian doctrines fail to move
them?
Christian Science congregations
employ no eloquent, soul stirring
orators; they have no sermons, little
music, no auxiliary societies, no en-
tertainments, ha2aars or missionary
campaigns. Yet the Christian Science
churches are filed to over flowing
everywhere at almost every service
Whatever opinion the pastors of
other sects may have concerning the
doctrines Of Christian Science, the
overflow meetings in the churches
of Mrs. Eddy's disciples, the effort
less manner in which the financial
needs of the Christian Science
churches are met, should he of great
interest to them, should induce
them to seek for the spiritual cause
that fills the rival churches and their
Golfers. From June Sunset.

A PRAYER FOR LIGHT

Lord God Of peace and war,
Thy presence we implore!
Descend from heights afar
And lead US as of yore
The nations stagger, blind
And perishing in night;
0 let US once more find
The long delaying light!
Deal gently with our sin,
Deal gently with our grief,
Thou who hast shut us in
This plane of unbelief.
Thou who has spread IA veil
Before our mortal eyes,
So that earth's noblest fail
Tiny way to recognize!
Thy pity we invoke
Upon our darkness here;
o lift the battle smoke
And let thy light appear!
