Antiquity Of the Hog.

The two most important and most
intimately associated products Of In
diana are corn and hogs. The Chinese
claim to have bred and domesticated
the hog 1000 years before the Chris
tian era. The ancient Egyptians knew
the hog, and this animal is depicted on
their monuments. The use of the meat
of the hog was prohibited by the Jews
and it was considered that in hot coun-
tries it produced skin diseases. The
Moslems under Mohammedan law are
also prohibited from using pork. The
hog was unknown In America until in
troduced from Europe by the early nav
igat0rs. In the South American forests
are great droves of wild hogs. the de-
scendants of hogs brought over by the
Spaniards.- Chicago Journal.

THE HOLY GRAIL.
Story o. the Green Crystal Vase Of The
Ruins Of Cesarea.

Ruins Of Cesarea.
Few places are more absolutely cit
les Of the past than Cesarea. Some
one has spoken of the remains of it's
ancient glory as the ruin Of ruins"
The medieval town which was twice
rebuilt by the crusaders covered
scarcely a tenth Of the area occupied
by the city as st. Paul knew it, and
the ruins that we see today are chief
~ the relics Of the medieval city.
which was itself built out of the ruins
Of the ancient city.
What rich quarry Cesarea has been
for other city builders is shown by the
fact that, though it has been drawn
upon for all these centuries for mar
BILE and granite and sandstone, it Is
not yet absolutely exhausted, but still
affords building material for the peas
ants of the vicinity.
The green crystal vase which was
found here when Baldwin l., the great
crusader, captured the city at the be-
ginning Of the twelfth century, says
the Christian Herald, gave rise to the
story of the Holy Grail, which has in
spired so many legends and poems,
for Baldwin and his followers believed
that it was the one that was used at
the last supper by our Lord, when he
gave bis disciples the cup of wine and
said: Drink We all of it. This do in

SEX ATTRACTION.
Il 10 the Controlling Force In About
Every Human Effort.

Il 10 the Controlling Force In About
Every Human Effort.
We cannot escape from the fact that
sex attraction is the great event in hu.
man life. Sex is the controlling force
in nearly all Of human efforts. War.
for instance. is only an exaggerated
form of the sex instinct. Neither lit
erature nor art would exist in any APP
probable degree without sex. Men
work, fight, sing, paint, live and die
for the love of woman.
In only one field Of human activity
is there no faint Of sex feeling. and
that is science. Science is cold and
dispassionate. 1t has Imagination, but
the Imagination of the explorer and
not the lover. Science has only one
aim and end-the discovery of truth.
Science is another world from the hot
earth of economic and military compe-
tition. which have for their ends the
attainment Of love and marriage.
Through science mankind will grad.
ually throw off some Of the sex slavery
and reach a new and possibly happier
stage in its Richmond

Baltimore stopped on the street one
day to have his shoes polished. A
bright eyed little black boy stepped
forward to give the desired shine. Be-

the northerner asked his name. to
which the boy promptly replied:
Gen. sah.'
After a few moments of silence the
northerner continued, II suppose that

WHAT IS ELECTRICAL
PROSPERITY WEEK :?

Many people are asking what is
Electrical Prosperity Week-what will
be done during that week ?"
Louis D. Gibbs, man prominent in
the electrical industry, has probably
given the best answer. His definition
is as follows:
electrical Prosperity Week is a
nationwide opportunity for everyone
to get acquainted with the new and
up-to-date uses of electricity in the
home, store and factory. Every pos
sible form of advertising is being used
to attract the attention Of the people
to this week, and to prompt them to
ask questions about electricity and
about electrical appliances. The field
is one of remarkable opportunities,
and the inquirer is bound to be made
enthusiastic by what he learns.
Everyone connected with the bust
ness in any branch is ready to answer
questions, and people need not be
afraid that they are going to be press
ed to purchase something, simply be-
cause they ask question and show an
interest in electrical appliances.
"The wonderful developments in the
uses of electricity have come along
so rapidly that it has been absolutely
impossible to keep the people inform
ed. National advertisers, electrical
appliance dealers and central station
companies have not been able to keep
pace with the growing interest.
"The Society for Electrical Develop
ment has undertaken to get all of the
people in the electrical field telling
what they know about the things Of
interest to the public and talking all
at the same time.
at will also mean Shop Early
opportunity. Electrical Prosperity
Week will be observed from November
20 tosDecember 4, inclusive. That is
exactly three weeks before Christmas
and thousands Of people will welcome
the opportunity to see electrical ap-
pliances under the most favorable
conditions, make their selections and
perhaps have their gifts wrapped up
ready for delivery in ample time"

Sl33OOO, the amount paid last year, according to the report of the com mittee at the Phoenix meeting. This means that the percentage of loss by claim payments has been reduced in the period mentioned from one per cent in 1909 to GA hundredths of one per cent in 1914 This curtailing of leakage in the revenue department is called the "why and wherefore" of the loss and damage committec-in other words its excuse for living. The figures on which such deduction is made are not from the railroad off cials themselves, but from the inter state commerce committee report, which has advised common carriers all over the country to look into this very important matter on more than one occasion. Now yearly reports are submitted to the federal commits sion for investigation and review, and do d lNSull Ol lilC CdlNuldliOiS lS luS statement, made public at the Phoe- nix meeting, that in nine years loss and damage claims have increased 337 per cent while freight revenues have increased only l09 per cent in the same period. The increase in the claims is said to be abnormal, and it is to remedy such a situation that the coast lines of the Santa Fe system have held their conferences: The particular point of interest concerning these investigations centers in the fact that the energy and thorough ness which have characterized the coast lines of the Santa Fe system have induced the interstate commits sion to select this system as the basis for its conclusions.
 The meeting of this body of men in Prescott in July is no little matter of moment, and only confirms the fact that this city is fast becoming the mecca for all state meetings and con vcntions of importance held in Ari- zona.

CRIME INCREASE IS
 ATTRIBUTED TO THE WAR

PHOENIX, Feb. 13. - Tt may seem strange to say that war in Flu rope has been felt in the amount of crime in Arizona" said Sheriff Jeff Adams this morning, but it is fact that there is more horse stealing go- ing on all over the southwest right now than there has been for years
 Just as a case in point four men pleaded guilty to this offense in Jus tice Johnstone's court and were bound over to the Superior court for trial"
 Asked what the war had to do with the matter, the sheriff said: There is market for every good horse that can be shipped to any of the stations where the English, French and Ger mans are buying horses and their agents arc buying everything they can get and paying spot cash for what they accept. The standard of quality has been lowered and every horse that looks anywhere near fit is snapped up at top prices. l have letters from other sheriffs saying that horse stealing is more prevalent than they have known it for years and ou- experience in this county is along the same lines"

EIGHTEEN ZONES IN
 EMPLOYMENT BUREAU
(From Sunday's Dal1y)

Postmaster Herndon, of Prescott, says that so far he has received no instructions with reference to the na- tion-wide employment bureau which the government has made arrange ments to carry on, although the oper- ations of the enterprise 1t Is under stood, are to center in the various postoflices of the country.
 The bureau is for the purpose of providing means of bringing to- gethcr the man and the job" all over the country. To carry out the plan the country has been divided into eighteen zones, or districts. Men wishing employment will be asked to register at the various offices and em- ployers wanting men will be invited to make their wants known to the officers in charge of the work. It is the main idea of the service to distri- butc the laboring men throughout the country. particularly in the rural dis tricts, where they are most needed. and to prevent oveTcrowding in dis tricts where there Is an over supply. President Wilson has already sent a circular letter throughout the country informing the public that the bureau Is open for business. This circular states that application blanks enab ling the employer and the worker to make known their wants have been mailed to representatives of the post office, agriculture and labor depart ments of the government. No fee is charged either the employee or em- ployer.
 It is probable that information as to how the Prescott end will be man. aged will soon be forthcoming The fact that Postmaster Herndon has re- ceived no instructions whatever con corning the matter indicates that mistake may have been made in the published statements to the effect that all pOstofices would be made houses in the operation of the law

NE W SYNDICATE NO W ABOUT
 COMPLETED
FINAL PAPERS IN FORMA- TON OF VERDE UNION MINING COMPANY WILL SOON BE FILED
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

According to news made public in Prescott yesterday the Verde Union Mining Company, George H. Mitchell general manager, will file papers within the next week which will com plete the organization of the syndi- cate which has taken over number of valuable copper properties in the Jerome district and expects to do some big business in that section.
 Mir. Mitchell has been away for some time arranging the details of the organization and will be home in the next few days with all arrange ments completed. The extensive property owned by this new company lies between the Copper Chief prop erty and the United Verde at Jerome, and includes some well known mines which have demonstrated their rich ness but which have never been pushed to the maximum limit, some thing the new company now proposes to do. Mir. Utley, who is connected with the proposition, with offices in Prescott, says there is no doubt but that the new organization will soon have proposition in working order which will add greatly to the min ing industry of this county.
 Te O.+;-,scE;c
 Speaking of the general mining conditions in Jerome district, MT. Utlcy says they were never so good as now, and he bases his optimism for the future on the fact that there is soon to be blown in in a new smelt- CT there of capacity sufficient to handle the ores of the mines. He also says that the widening of the gauge of the railroad will have great deal to do with the prosperity of the camp, as it will afford shippers a much greater advantage than they have heretofore enjoyed on this line. Recent development in the Little Daisy is another thing that makes him look forward to greater activity in Jerome the coming twelve months than ever before.
 The Copper Chief property now has 35 tons of ore ready to ship. The. purpose of this particular shipment is to test a new method of treatment of the ore. This company now has blocked out 4O,OOO,OOO tons of ore.

TUSAYAN FOREST HAS BEST FIRE
 FIGHTERS
(From Tuesdays Dsily.)

The Tusayan National Forest, situ- atcd in Northern Arizona, with head quarters at Williams, has won the award of merit given by the District Forester to the Forest in District 3, which comprises Arizona and New Mexico, making the best record in the discovery and suppression of fires during the past season.
 The fact that each of the sixteen forests in the third district surpassed all previous records will indicate the effort made by the Tusayan to secure the award.
 Many factors had to be considered by the forest officials who awarded the prize: the percentage of fires dis covered and extinguished in their in- cipiency, as compared to those that had gained headway and burned over one quarter or ten acres, Gorest fires are classified according to acreage by forest officers); average acreage per fire; time elapsed between discovery and report; time devoted to travel and to suppression; and the general weather conditions prevailing through out the fire season.
 The Tusayan, with an acreage of l,SO0OOO acres, had total of 6 fires that burned in their entirety 25.39 acres, or an average of about four tenths of an acre per fire. The per centagc of those extinguished before they covered more than quarter of an acre was about g per cent, or 58 ill number.

STATE NEGLECTS |
 EXPERIMENTAL FARMS
(From Thursdays Oailv.)

AAlOlll hOl quay 1dllNsJ
 "The Prescott dry farm has done better work with its limited available means and facilities than any farm in the state, fact which is largely due to the untiring efforts of its superin- tendent, L. L. Bates"
 This is the way Prof A. NJ. Me Omie, of the State University, talked yesterday about the experimental station here. The professor has been here checking up the situation, job he will finish today. The data se- cured will be incorporated into a re- port and submitted to the university board.
 Prof. McOmie says that all the dry farm experimental stations in the state are handicapped by lack of funds. There are three dry farms and six other farms, total of nine, cared for by the state, and last year, the sum of $e,000 was all the funds available for the entire work. This means that the work is greatly handi- capped. To produce the best results and make these farms accomplish the objects for which they were estab- lished, more money must be forth coming, according to the view of Prof. McOmie.
 Included in the report soon to be made to the university, will be an in voice of all the property of the sta ton, including farm implements, stock, etc. A test is in progress at the farm now with reference to the comparative value of cnsilage and alfalfa as a food for calves. The same kind of test was to have been made with sheep, but the sheep were not brought here as expected. The same was true of steers, recently planned test having to be abandoned.
 Prof. McOmie says a better road from Prescott to the farm Is badly needed, but it Is doubtful if it will be secured as a result of any act of the present legislature. The road fund is depleted, and although Governor Hunt is in favor of building the pro posed road he is as powerless as any one else, until there shall have been an appropriation made. The propos- ed road would connect with the loop, and eliminate a stretch of bad road which is now being utilized. Mir. Bates had two teams busy dragging the roads about the farm Tuesday and yesterday.
 There are one hundred acres in the Prescott farm, and some horses, cows and calves are kept there. The farm is also equipped with silo. Many experiments of value are to be made on the place the coming season.

ROSKRUGE TELLS
 INTERESTING PIG STORY
(From Fridays Daily.)


 During the Masonic communication now coming to a close in Prescott the appearance again of General c. J. Roskruge, of Tucson, to participate in the deliberations of this order, has attracted considerable comment as we'll has it proved to be a very inter csting event to affect the passing ot fifty years of the organization of Aztlan lodge in this city.
 General Roskruge has attracted the admiration of many in and out Of fraternal channels, primarily for the city as long ago as 1872. On the othe.. hand his fidelity to Masonry from that until the present time or for over 45 years is a distinction which but very few in Arizona enjoy. He has reached the pinnacle of Ma sonic rating, also, being the first in the state to be accorded the thirty third degree, and yet he is just as faithful and as sincere in devotion to the cause as when in this city i'll the long ago. Aside from his association with the "ties that bind" this vener- able pilgrim of the Gila, still retains kindly remembrance from scores of old Hassayampers who remain and who were generously inclined in again welcoming their brethren back to the old stamping grounds.
 "Reminiscences of the long ago were wildly recalled as the old 'uns mingled into a bunch of good fellows during the week General Roskruge had his memory refreshed when was mentioned the day he was seen in the corn geld of Doc" Moeller on the road to Fort Whipplc, shocking the down row. and getting paid at the rate of $4 per day and board thrown in. "That was so," he said, but when the boss of the dry ranch informed me that the military hogs were coming in force from Whipplc and it was my duty to get on the firing line with muzzle-loading shot gun, ] concluded to let the pigs have something good to eat. and 1 retreat cd to the city. The fact of the mattc- was that for tendcrfoot l had stor- cd away nearly two weeks wages, and felt quite prosperous as well as literally inclined toward the poor swine was the reason for my single handed strike against a, corn mon- opoly.'
 Later General Roskruge went into the civil engineering office of o. H. Case and C. B. Foster, quitting the blow for the tripod. In this profes- sion he started to climb up, and in few years afterward was appointed surveyor general of Arizona. when he was ordered to Tucson The "old pueblo" has continued to be his home and as he boarded the train yesterday for that city he stated he will keep going at swift pace in Masonic har- ness, and so far as his Hassayampa training of the long ago is to be con will cling to the memories of old. and cherish the day when he first came to Prescott to mould a career that has been blessed with everything that is good and nothing bad Don't destroy, said this venerable and beloved Arizonan, Out remem- Der the pigs" was his parting farewell to many friends.
