FIRE ALARM GIVEN AS ZEPPE-
LINS FLY OVER PARIS.
(By Lafayette Young }


PARIS, March 25.-(By Mail0-
The was is not distant thing to
Paris, but is practically local. Sun
day night Zeppelins were discovered
flying above the city. In fact the
discovery is always made and the
warning given before they are above
the city.
When the Zeppelins are discovered
notice is given by telephone to all the
fire departments, divisional and other
wise, and they are notified to give
the alarm. The fire engines all turn
out and the alarm is sounded by a
bugle which is notice for people to
get out of the way. This happens
in all parts of the city at the same
time. AT street corners special alarm
is given to all the nearby inhabitants.
These warnings are to enable peo-
Pile to find their way to cellars or to
other places which they think may be
secure. All the people in the upper
stories are warned to come down. This
they readily do. The alarm produces
much excitement When it is all over
and the Zepplins have gone, the fire
department by proper signals notifies
the people that the danger has pass
ed.
All Street Lights Out.
When the Zeppelin alarm is sound
ed the street lamps are turned out.
In some cases boys climb the lamr-
posts to turn the lights and in other
cases the work is done by a police
man. The city is in practical dark
ness. Two bombs were dropped in
Paris, killing nothing except dog; but
bombs dropped outside injured several
persons.
The traveller who has been in other
parts of the European war zone dis.
covers in France a difference in tba
uniform of the soldiers. The Ger
man uniform is gray-green. The Bel
gian uniform resembles that of the
German in cut, color and makeup.
The army of France is dressed in the
old Napoleonic uniform. The French
soulied ow today looks like the French
soldier of century ago. His cap and
pantaloons are red while the coat is
light blue. The cap is shaped like
the cap worn by the federal coldiers
in the American civil war. The coat
seems to be too long and the skirt
has too much cloth in it. 1t hangs
low and would almost pass for wom-
ans dress. The front lower corners

There are many vacant lots all

be obtained that would pay a nice

The county officials that will have

stances the chances are that the of,
ficials will build their own homes.

will be completed next month and
the High School will become an &C.
tual fact. People from outside
places are contemplating moving
here in order to send their children
to High School but can find no houses
to live in.
If we are to make much progress
as town, we must build new homes
to provide for the growing popula.
ton, ard there is a fine opportunity
now for those who are financially
able to build good homes and secure

Stafford is COUNTY SEAT

The board of supervisors met
Monday at Solomonville and can
vassed the returns of the election
for the new county seat.
AS result of the count, Stafford
was declared the winner over Pima
by majority of 304 votes.
The board then issued an order
in accordance with the law, decIar-
ing Stafford to be the new county
seat of Graham county and direct
ing the removal of all the county
offices to Stafford.
The board of supervisors came
here in the afternoon and selected
the lower part of the Riggs build
ing, corner of Tenth and NJ streets,
for the temporary quarters of the
county officials.
There was some question in re-
gard to finding vault room for the
county records, but this was settled
by the board deciding to build a
cement vault, IL by l5 feet, on the
southwest end of the building, which
which will give sufficient room for
all the county records.
There will be plenty of room in
the Riggs building to accommodate
the county officials and they will
move their offices to the new quar-
ters during the next ten days.
The county .jail at Solomonville
will still be used for keeping pris
oners, and the sheriff and his depu-
ties may continue to occupy their
present quarters until the new
county court house and Jail have
been erected.

MEDICAGO SATIVA

The virtues of alfalfa have long
been trumpeted by the federal de.
partment of agriculture, but now
the medical profession has taken to
boosting this particular brand of
fodder. At a national convention
in Chicago, DR.. Alexander Black
wood. of that city, announced that
alfalfa is just as good for human be-
ings as it is for cattle. In fact. he
declares it is not only nutritious
food product, but has valuable medi.
cinal properties.
He experimental with seventeen
students at the Hahnemann Medical
College, feeding them a compound
preparation labled Mcdicago Sativa"
which is merely the Latin name
for alfalfa-and they not only d.

but had their appetites for other
food so stimulated that they were
impelled to eat five or six meals a
day.

of planting highly bred seed when
scrub seed will produce as much or
more than the soil will properly
feed? What's the use Of planting
seed enough for l00-busheI crops
when the soil will furnish only food
enough for so bushels? What's the
use of using the most advanced
methods known in the art of agri-
culture when ordinary methods will
meet the maximum of the soil
capacitY?"
Mr.. Mann makes clear and wide
distinction between the art of farm
ing, which is the practice or prac-
tical side of it, and the science of
farming which means thorough
knowledge of soil and crop condi-
tions and principles which in reality
is the foundation of the whole su.
perStructure.
The happy union comes when the
farmer unites in his own mind and
possession both the science and the
art of farming. Then he sees really
and truly that the true viewpoint is
first the fertility of his soil and Sec
ond the wisdom of his methods in
dealing with that soil. How true is
a later observation of this author
which reads as follows:
1T is only after the productive
capacity of the soil has been in.
creased that the best practices in
the art of farming will prove of
their full value. Then there will be
need of well,bred seed, perfect

The Colonists

From the first they were an in
telIigent and religious people; un-
trameIled in the exercise of relig-
ious liberty, they moulded character.
Poor and in debt from the raw
ages of seven years war, the
struggle had made known to them
somewhat of their strength; success
had given them confidence.
Through the struggles incident to
pioneer life they had been drawn
together in the bonds of mutual
love and interest; the endearments
of home and domestic tranquility
had made for good.
Education to them was a religious
duty. Through industry and fru-
gality they were surrounded by
many of the comforts and refine
ments of the times.
The laws of the people may be
taken as an embodiment of their
statements; though to US today they
may seem simple, yet for all that,
they were the foundation of our
Jurisprudence
Every family had their own home
and in connection with their school
houses and other public buildings,
the Church was always foremost.
Hedged in by the ocean on one
side and the bowling wilderness
filled with hostile Indians on the
other, they acquired an energy Of
character and individuality which
has followed down in the American
stock to the present day.
Thus uninfluenced from without,
their political and religious princi-
pies within, developed a people
peculiar, indeed, to the Americans.
Our ancestors lived not only for
themselves alone; they looked for
ward to the daV when all this con-
tinent would not only be covered
with their descendants, but that
their splendid manhood and woman.
hood would be reflected through
future generations.
They encouraged the free exercise
Of opinion, coming as it did.from a
religious freedom of conscience.
They dared to do right and dared
to be true.

WHAT'S THE USE

One of the most successful lawyers
in the state of New York fifty years
ago once said: The most impor-
tant thing for lawyer to do in
handling a case is first to find the
right viewpoint from which to look
at it," There is a world of good
practical sense in that remark that
applies just as well to farming as
to law, says Hoard's Dairyman.
The trouble with most of us as
farmers is, that we look upon the
farm from partial, one-sided point
of view. We are trying to make
money from it, which we should do,
but we do not get the right view
point to start with. And so we 20

THE PEOPLES FALLACY

A fallacy is any piece of bad rea-
soning resulting in a wrong con-
clusion, opinion or belief. 1t is
usually what we call mistake or
self-deceit, and where it is used in
tentionally to deceive others, it is
called sophistry.
There are many fallacies, but |
shall notice only one. Because this
one often trips up most persons.
especially the uneducated, it has
been named as above, also the
vulgar fallacy." In this fallacy
one thing is assumed to be the cause
of another, not because the connec-
ton is even attempted to be proved,
but only that the supposed cause
appeared before or at the same
time as the effect. In this way
many people still attribute changes
in the weather to changes of the
moon occurring about the same
time, although it has been demon
strated time and again that the
moon does not and cannot have any
effect on the weather. Everyone
will recall many other things that a
change of the moon is said to bring
about. Not so long ago it was very
commonly believed to cause insanity.
We still call this malady lunacy,
from the Latin word luna, the moon.
To primitive people the moon was
doubtless the most striking and
mysterious object of the night. They
all personified and deifed it.
This fallacy of assumed cause is a
common standby of partisan politi-
clans. Any change they advocate
causes health and wealth and long
life, but the changes urged by the
other side bring hard times and lead
to despotism. The letter of James
G. Blaine accepting the republican
nomination for the presidency in
1884 is probably the worst abuse of
this fallacy to be found anywhere.
He says all the progress and pros
perity of the United States came
and stayed here in consequence of
protective tariff laws made by his
party. Our enterprise, thrift and
vast and varied natural resources
were as nothing in his estimation.
To this fallacy is also due the be.
lief in witchcraft and many other
groundless beliefs. When a man

arguments offered in its support
