 Geology of the Grand Canyon 1 Ever since Powells daring boat trip down the Colorado in 1869 ge- ologists have known that tine walls Of the Grand Canyon display one of the most remarkable and instructive geologic sections in the world. At first glance the impressive feature of
 that section is the great thickness of horizontal strata through which tre river has sunk it's bed-strata rang iEg in age from carboniferous at the top, on the brink of the chasm. to cambrisn at the base
 The United States geological sur vey has published as Bulletin 549 report on the geology of the Shi- numo quadrangle-the Grand Canyon district-by L. F. Noble. Although the bulletin contains considerable hthologic and stratigraphic material that will scarcely interest those who are not geologists, pr. Noble has very properly remembered that the people as a whole have unusual NiiLIllS t'' follSlutTd1lon m any DIlh h- lication dealing with the Grand Can yon. and has skillfully supplied as a setting to this more strictly scien- tific work much vivid description and lucid explanation which will help all those who take more than a tran sient interest in what they see to understand one of the most impres- sive and significant of the inanimate works of nature
 By far the most interesting scenic ground in the quadrangle is Powell Plateau. on the north side of the canyon. To the geologist the views from this plateau are encyclopedic The rocks that are visible represent in turn nearly every geologic age. and the sequence or order of depo- sition of each series of beds is ap- parent at glance. Every great ge- locic process is illustrated. Perhaps the most impressive record of all is that of uplift and erosion This re- cord. registered in what the geologist terms 'unComformities" or breaks in the regular and continuous process of sedimentary accumulation, shows that for vast periods rocks. instead of being formed. were being washed away by rain, streams and waves. leaving worn surface which later sank beneath the sea and received new sediments. The later periods of geologic history are recorded in the removal. by erosion, of vast thick nesses of strata and the production of the surface of the region in it's present aspect. The panorama is probably the most complete geologic revelation in the world

Export Duty on Copper from Mexico

&NPo'e Obty on SoPPeT rom mcSlCO
 There has been reported recently that tax or export duty would be imposed on copper from Mexico This tax has now been imposed by the Car ranza regime. The tax levied is eight tenths of one per cent and it is suffi- cient, if continued, to again close up all the properties in northern Sonora that so recently started up In the case of the Cananea mines for instance. such an impost would be equivalent to the "A per share dividend declared. when the properties were in active operation. Therefore if the company had to pay this out in special taxation, it would simply wipe out their margin of profit neaVinS no inducement whatever to continue production. Probably Carran- ga will discern the error of his ways and remove the tax at an early date II not. he will kill off the only commer- cial life in northern Mexico.

war he settled in Wisconsin, where he
remained until the spring of 1879,
when he came to Barnes county and
settled on claim on Getchell Prairie.
He followed farming until about II
years ago, when he came to Valley

rel of coal, sack of -four, some bed
ding and the lunch box which we had
in the car, together with some grain to
feed the horses, arriving at the
shanty on the land we were to work
about dark. We shoveled out the
stables and shanty, and after feeding
and bedding the horses, started a fire
and got something to eat. AS the
shanty was of single boards and con-
siderably shrunken, we found it hard
to warm with the stove we had and
consequently "retired' early, being
better able to keep warm in bed than
sitting around the stove. There being
three of us and only one bed we drew
cuts to see who should sleep in the
middle as no one wanted that place.
On awakening in the morning we
found snow drift about six inches
deep across the bed, blizzard having
come up during the night. Then the
fellow who had to sleep in the middle
was rather glad that he drew the short
cut. The blizzard continued for three
days. We had to melt snow to water
the horses, and having only one bar
rel of soft coal and not knowing how
long the storm would continue, we
were getting uneasy and likewise out
of fuel. During lull in the storm the
third day we discovered stack of
hay about 40 rods from the house.
This had some poles for hangers to
keep the top of the stack from being
blown away. 1t hardly needs stating
that we took the poles which afforded
un fuel enough to last until the storm
abated so we could finish unloading
our car. ... =

GROWING Truth.

An argument is usually a tug-of-war.
and tug-of-war does not bring people
together, yet we are often deceived
into thinking that we can bring the
other man over to our side by arguing
with him. Even when an argument
does convince it is not usually the best
way of convincing. It is so much bet
ter to suggest to people than to argue
with them. II you have convinced a
person he Is trying to remember what
you have said. But II you drop seed

him. Growing truth is more effective
than driven truth.

CLASSIFIED AND TAGGED

The famous botanist was pacing
slowly along the country road, his
eyes, as usual, roaming from side to
side for new plants to study.
Suddenly an eager look swept across
his features, and he leaned over the
low fence inclosing cottage garden.
He had found a plant he did not
know.
What could it be? If only he had
specimen Of it to study!
At that moment shock headed lad
strolled along the road and stopped to
gaze open mouthed at him.
Il say!" called the botanist urgently.
"see that plant there-that pale pink
one in the corner? Do you know it?'
"Uh-uh!" said the country boy brief
ly.
What's it's name? Do you know
what family it belongs to-"
The lad jerked a grubby thumb over
his shoulder toward the little cottage
as he spoke more briefly still.
"Higginses!"

our POLICY

The following able editorial under the above caption taken from
the Jackson Evening News outlines the policy that will be pur-
sued by that paper toward the next administration. The News
promises that its attitude toward the new administration will be
just as it has been toward every administration since its founda-
ton. Mr.. Blbo, as governor of the state, is promised a square
deal at the hands of the News:
"Bibo is elected-what are you going to do about it.? face
|tiously asks a reader of the Daily News.
No~thing-absoutely nothing.
We cannot jubilate over the result, nor will we assume a hypo-
critical attitude by pretending to accept it gracefully.
However, Bilbo is going to get a square deal in both the editorial
and news columns of this paper.
AS governor, he will be accepted as the rightful incumbent Of
that office.
If his official acts deserve praise it will be ungrudgingly ac-
corded.
forthcoming.
The Daily News has never kow-towed to any politician or Office
holder on earth-and never intends to.
We're as free and untrammeled as the air and sunshine. We're
akin to the wind that "boweth where it lsteth, in other words,
whenever and wherever it darned pleases.
For twenty-five years the Daily News has seen state administra-
tons come and state administrations go. Such events mean
mighty little to a daily newspaper.
We have been in accord with the policies and principles of some.
administrations while others have met with our opposition.
And all the while the Daily News has continued to grow and
prosper until today it is recognized, both by the friendly and the
unfriendly, as Mississippis foremost daily newspaper.
During the past quarter of a century the Daily News has en-
gagged in many scraps, has fought many political battles. In some
of them we have been victorious, While IN others we've been
licked to a fairy fragile.
But it's all the same to us. We don't take politics with SO much
seriousness as some folks believe. If defeated in one
battle we console ourselves With the certain knowledge lid Inere 5
certain to be another battle some day, and that we will be ready
for the fray, armed cap-a-pie, y as Horatio would say, to fight for
the principles and policies we believe to be just and proper.
Therefore, the Daily News will deal with Theodore G. Bnbo as
of Mississippi just as it dealt with the administrations OF
McLaurin, Longino, Vardaman, Noel and Brewer. "
We neither expect or desire recognition as the official mouthpece
of the new administration.
But each and every news event in connection with the admins
trahon will be ~truthfully reported in the news columns.
When editorial comment is deemed necessary, it will be given in
a frank and straightforward manner. If it calls for praise|it will
be accorded in full measure; if for criticism we will use thd plain
est of English.
That's what we are going to do about the election OF BllAo--andl
we do not believe Bilbo could ask for more. ~

AFTER THE

With the primary Tuesday the
nominating agencies of the dem
ocratic party complete the selec-
ton of candidates for state, dis
trict, county and beat Offices.
The fight that has ensued
throughout the year has been
one for party preferment and
there should be no lasting stings.
1t has been a family contest and
those who failed of election
should accept defeat gracefully
and those who were fortunate
enough to win should not be too
exultant. There should be no
strife in our party affairs and the
disappoints and defeats should
be forgotten. The employment
of the party machinery is for
the purpose of selecting those to
serve the people in the public
offices and the fortunate ones
should feel the obligations rest
ing upon them and strive to
measure up to the demands of
the office to which they are
elected and to the expectations
of those who supported them.
We should all now turn our
attention to our business affairs
with the determination to over
come the difficulties which are
confronting us by adverse cir
cumstances.

FREAK LEGISLATION

The report is current that the
nominee for the state senate
from LeFlore county, Mr. Cas-
teel, has prepared a bill which
he will introduce in the senate
upon the meeting of the legisla-
ture which seeks to prevent the
planting of cotton during the
year 1916. This question was
very generally discussed during
the past fall and a special session
of the legislature was sought to
be called in some quarters for
the purpose of passing legislation
to prevent a cotton crop from
being raised this year.
The south, without its years
supply of cotton, will be poor in
deed. 1t is practically our only
money crop and we must have it
to meet the obligations of bust
ness. The conditions in relation
to our cotton have been bad since
the opening of the European
war, but with no cotton raised
the south would be in bankruptcy
in one year.
The proposed bill will find its
way to the proper committee, if
introduced, but no Mississippi
legislature will ever vote to pre-
vent the planting of our greatest
money crop. Should the legisla-
ture indulge in such folly the law
would be a dead letter on our
statute books.

When quite young she became
a member of the Christian church
and her every day life was one
of deepest piety. To her parents
she was tenderly devoted and
her greatest pleasure was found
in their happiness. Thoughtful
at all times, she found her great
est delight in manifesting her
unselfsh love for her parents
and her brothers.
To her friends she was the in
carnation Of purity and loneliness
Of character and such friendship
was courted by all who knew
her.
The past year she was a
student at Martha Washington
College, Va, where she won the
love and esteem of all the teach
ers and her fellow-pupiIs.
