PUNISHMENT FITTED CRIME

A boy with an air of melancholy
resignation went to his teacher and
handed in the following note from
his mother:
Dear Sir: Please excuse James
for not being present yesterday
He played truant, but you needn't
lick him for it, as the boy he played
truant with got mad at him and
licked him, and a man they threw
stones at caught him and licked
him, and the driver of cart they
hung on licked him, and the owner
of a dog they chased licked him.
Then | licked him when he came
home; after that his father licked
him with a piece of rope and | had
to lick him again for being impudent
to me for telling his father. SO you
need not lick him till next time.
He thinks he will attend regular in
future"

1T TO THE MARINES"

If you tell it to the Marines" be
quite sure you have it right, for
that warring amphlbian is not the
.credulous parsonage you have al
ways supposed him to be. United
States Marine Corps officers have
traced the famous saying, Tell it
to the Marines, to none other than
our old friend Samuel Pepys, of the
Diary renOwn, the original first
nighter, who tells us that the say
ing had origin with Charles II, the
merry monarch of England.
1t so befeIl," the story goes,
that his light-hearted Majesty, with
an exceedingly bored expression on
his swarthy face, was walking in the
shade with the ingenious Mr.. Pepys,
secretary to the Admiralty"
i had speech yesterday at Dept
ford" said Mr.. Pepys, with the
Captain Of the 'Defyance, who hath
but lately returned from the Indies,
and who told me the two most
wonderful things that ever | think
did hear in my life" Among the
stories told were of fish flying in
the air.
Fish flying in the air?" exclaimed
his Majesty. Ha, ha, a quaint
conceit, which 'twere too good to
spoil wi keeping. What. sir" (he
turned and beckoned to the Colene,
Sir William KiIligrew, of the newly
raised maritime regiment on foot,
who was following, in close CONVEX
satinn with the Duke of York;, we
would discourse with you on a mat.
ter touching your element. What
say you, Colonel, to a man who
swears he hath seen fishes fly in the
air."
! should say, sire" ," returned the
sea soldier, simply that the man
hath sailed In Southern seas. For
when your Majesty's business carried
me hither Of late did frequently
observe more fying fish in one
hour than the hair of my head in
number"
Old RowIey glanced narrowly at
the CoIonel'S frank, weather beaten
face. Then, with a laugh, he turned
to the secretary and saidi Mr..
PepyS, from the very nature Of their
calling no c'ass Of our SUBJ jects can
have so wide a knowledge of seas
and lands as the officers and men of
our loyal maritime regiment. Hence.
forth, whenever we cast doubt upon
a. tale that lacketh likelihood, we
will tell it to the Marines they
believe it, it is safe to say it is
true"

FOOLS

Every so often Brother Booze in
spires some editor to take pen in
hand and deliver himself. Thus the
Post-Dispaeh of St. Louis says:
Everyone agrees that a man who
spends his earnings for drink is not
only a bad customer for all except
liquor dealers ald saloon keepers,
but he is a fool. He is just as much
of a fool if he spends his earnings on
food alone, or jewelry, or tobacco,
or theatres or motion pictures, yet
we do not ask that all people be for
bidden these things because fools
squander their money on them. "
Still, at the moment, we do not
recall ever having seen a woman
who would not perfer gold wrist
watch to a blow from the fool she
married; nor little child who would
run under the bed to avoid the fool
who wanted to take him to the
movies. And, try as we may, we
are unable to recolIect ever having
seen two fools or three fools or four
fools buying each other ham in a
butcher shop and later on trying to
murder one another with link sau-
sage. Speaking scientifically, there
are fools and fools-and then some.

FRYE CANYON WATERSHED

For the information of those who
don't know and also to impress
those who do know, but are careless
in their manner of observing the
law, we will state that the town of
Stafford has jurisdiction over the
FRYE canyon watershed for the pro-
lection of the towns supply of
water.
Cattlemen who allow their cattle
to roam in the Frye canyon water
shed are laying up trouble for them
selves, for they will be prosecuted
to the full extent of the law. The
town OF Stafford will insist on its
water supply being pure and this
can only be accomplished by pre-.
venting the watershed from being
polluted by cattle.

STARTING WITH FRUIT

There are but few localities in
Arizona where the production of
fruit should be encouraged on a
large commercial scale; however,
every home should have some fruit
trees and every farm should be pro-
vided with a home orchard wherever
possible. A good home orchard con-
tanning well-selected varieties of
adapted fruits not only increase the
productive power of the farm and
rehances its value, but also greatly
increases the attractiveneSs of the
home and furnishes healthful food
the entire year, says A. l.. Paschell,
Farm Advisor, Cochise-Santa Cruz
Counties, U. of A. Agricultural EX-
tension Service, and U. S. D. A.
A good, well-cared-for orchard
will be productive and occupy the
land for many years. Fruit trees,
vines and shrubs should be selected
with great care as to the varieties,
condition (sOundness and of the
proper shape and age), and should
be set out in properly prepared
ground. The roots should not be
allowed to become dry nor be eX
posed to sunlight and drying winds.
| have seen trees which were al
lowed to become dry or were ex-
posed to sunlight. They apparently
made good start and then suddenly
wilted and died. On examination |
found that the trees had made no
root growth.
1t is also essential that the trees
be not over-irrigated, nor should
the soil in the orchard be allowed to
become too dry. Give the orchard
good cultivation. The roots must
have air and moisture. lrrigating
in a small hole or pit around the
tree is not a good practice, espec-
tally after the first year.
Farmers should buy their trees
comparatively, or in club lots, direct
frcm a good, reliable nursery, being
careful to secure one-year-old trees
which have a healthy growth and
good root systems. These should
be carefully inspected by a com,
petent inspector on the grounds or
at the home station. | have seen
orchards in this State which were
badly infested with woolly aphis
and crown gall, which rendered the
trees unproductive and caused them
to die, Sandy soil is generally best
for fruit.

WAR OPENS ROADS TO WEALTH.
Shrewd Business Men in Great Britain
SEEKING New Opportunities.

Correspondence of Associated Press.l
London, Jan. 1O.-Men Of business
with q ready eye to changing condi-
tons have found that wartime offers
many new roads to wealth, If the OPP
portunity is seized quickly. Almost
every day since the war began some
alert British manufacturer or trader
has found openings in some new f1eld.
The khaki boom, still at its height,
resulted In the sudden establishment
of huge factories in the heart OF Lon
don. Hundreds Of young women left
good places in the jam and pickle fac
tories nearby for the work OF making
uniforms. Tailors, pressers. who were
glad to earn SO a week in normal
times, are able to take in three times
that sum at present.
A prominent hardware manufacturer
in Birmingham put his factory into the
hands of manager at the beginning
of the war and himself hurried to a
nearby town and erected plant for
the manufacture of emblems and but
tons. He has been making these novel;
ties In wartime designs by the million
at handsome profit.
A photographer found a similar gold
mine by turning his entire plant over
TO the printing OIL pdtIlOtlC plCtuEo
post cards, while a struggling novelty
dealer has put his business on its feet
by the sale of hundred thousand or
more sewing kits for soldiers.
Lesser successes have been achieved
by the men who have marketed such
minor articles for soldiers use as a
boot-tag. pipe lighter. and patriotic
brooch. An American traveller at the
beginning of the war CHANGED to learn
that the supply of cheap buttons in
England was precariously low, most of
the English supply having been inn
ported from Austria; he took immense
orders in. behalf Of an American firm
at prices presume bly, well above the
ordinary.
The war has brought a moderate de-
gree of prosperity to makers and deal
ers in foods clothing, medical supplies,
war munitions, and an immense num-
Der of small articles required by land
or sea forces. Ship builders and ship
owners have scored heavily. and the
British farmer is getting unprece-
dented prices for his products. Even
the dentists have had their share Of
war business, for it is necessary that
the man who is going to the front to
serve the king in water-f filed trenches
should have his teeth in sound shape
II he is to enjoy the excursion.
