One day Ruthfe came running into
the house and asked her mother IL she
might do what she liked with her
Easter eggs.
Her mother told her yes" and ask
ed her what she was going to do with
them; but Ruthie said she didn't want
to tell just then.
Rnthie whispered to her brother
Zen. and pretty soon they appeared
dressed for the street.
About week later Mr. Williams
came into Ruth's house smiling. He
said he had by luck found out what
the children were doing. He said
ehey were going to a poor invalid
Mrs Williams said that the very
next afternoon she meant to go and
see the child herself, but for them to
pc careful and not let the children
know aboutfit.
On Easter morning Mrs. Williams
told Rathie to keep her eggs. In the
middle of the table was a. Chocolate
egg with a dollar inside. The kind
Rulhie had long wanted
She went several times afterwards
70 see the invalid child. She took
presents to It 100.

John was having. an unconfortab Ia
Meeen minutes, for he had lost his
Promotion tc high school on account
OF his inattention during the wear. He
mad whispered. wasted his time, and

was that he came out very Door in

rather down-hearted for he had hor5ed
ne would set such good marks on his
examination that he would get pro-

get promoted On the marks ri had
received during the year.
Tnen a thought came to him; WHY
did ne want to go to high school? It
would simply be four more years of
drudgery. He was happy again: he
was thankful he lost his promotion:
Tor now he could got to work and
learn a goo dtrade and by the time
tne -FOUR years had gone by he would

chances for advancement, while his

There's a wonderful Lake in Playteu6f
That's deep as the deepest sea.
It's fun of fish as a. boy could wish
And safe an lake can be.
There are beautiful shores,around this.
Where vessels can safely land.
The ground all slopes I'm the seffsame
Ana siistens with snow white sand.
There are marvellous ships upon this
lake
All laden with useful thinsat
They sail each day in a busy way
To tunes that the captain sings.
There Is never a storm upon this lake.
And never an angry sky.
The winds that blow, and the winter
An carefully pass it by.
Ana the people who sail upon thiss
Have never Thought Of fear.
The skies are blue and the ships are
Whatever the time OF year.

All full to the brim, you know.
And the plentiful nsh are nake-oe-

The men who sail on the peaceful lake.
Are pins in a tiny boat
And the marvellous sand--you must |
have guessed,
And doubtless your guess Is righf- j
Us Just the rim Of the selfsame tnh
An shining and clean and whitel
And the numerous ships are tiny boats
AL made out OF wood and thread. /
With sails OF cloth that ara clean and.l
And flags that are blue ana red.
Ana the captain who sings the. ships

Is only q little boy.
VINO sails his feet IN the nurs'rytr tub
And sings from his heart for 10y.

per cent interest annually during that period That is one way to look at it, and should be borne in mind when hearing men roast the reclama- tion service and when the people con- plain about the cost per acre.
 Another feature too often overlook ed is, if you figure on the present worth" as it is called that is to say, if you figure on the saving of interest at per cent for twenty years you will find that a 80 water right will only cost about $13.20. To illus trate in another way: Take 30 acres at S30, $900. You can put that into a bank and let 1t draw interest re- depositing the interest at the end of every year for 20 years, at the same time keeping up your annual water right payments; you can pay for the $30 water right and have somewhere between $f2OO and $1400 left in the bank.
 Considering these facts, it should therefore be remembered that even though the service may occasionally make mistakes in the administration of affairs, many benefits and advan- tages are presented to offset such mistakes as they may occur.

ARIZONA IS 4
 PIONEER STATE

Arizona is pioneer state and it's mines are in the making; now, more than any other time, is when assist ance can be rendered by the College of Mines. In giving to the College of Mines, you are giving to the miners and to the mine operators We are all proud of the achievement and the rapid advancement of the State of Arizona, and we are all pleased to note that agriculture, which has been stimulated and fostered by the mining industry, is rapidly advancing. The farmer came here when he found that the population would support him. In the last few years, the fed eral and state governments have, by wise expenditure of large sums of money for experimental and develop ment purposes, revolutionized farm ing, and have transformed the drudg- cry of farming life into scientific, interesting and profitable industry.
 But, on the other hand, practically industry has been through individual effort and at private expense. The federal and state governments have solved the problems for the farmer by teaching him to manage the soil and in finding the enemies of his crops He has had great irrigating systems built for his benefit at pub understood as criticizing the large expenditures made by the nation and state for the farmers benefit, for results have demonstrated the great wisdom of this course, but mining has not received the consideration to which it is entitled. The state owes more to the miner than it can ever repay. Moreover, every dollar spent for the mining industry is also of benefit to the farmer, manufacturer and merchant. Arizona has not yet touched it's mineral resources, and a wise expenditure of funds for the en- couragement and development of the industry will result eventually in the pouring of more wealth into the state than has ever been produced hereto fore, and will more than maintain the standard that Arizona has of being the leader of all the states of the Union in mining.

THE GENTLE HINT

While making the rounds the other day, we noticed the following sign placed by an enterprising merchant: "If you spit on the floor at home, spit on it here. We want you to feel per pidors, the janitor has enough work as it is.''

Mining has produced in the State of
 Arizona $10,000 per capita per year for every man employed in the mining
 industry, and over $1,O00 per capita per year for every person-man, wom-
 an and child-in the state. But it has
 not received the support and recogni-
 tion from the state that it should,
 the support and recognition that 1t
 deserves.
 In the United States the distrihu-
 tion is even more disparaging. The
 mining industry contributes and also
 makes available yearly to our wealth products about S2.O00 for each man employed, and this under conditions
 100 often unfavorable to both health and safety. Meanwhile no one ar. preciates and approves as a good national investment more readily than the miner the expenditure in behalf of agriculture, which now aggregate about $40 per employe, or 30 cents per capita of the total population ot this country, employees of which great industry, laboring under the healthiesE and safest of conditions, contribute each yearly about $SO4 to the national wealth. In general movement for the betterment of these conditions, with view to greater safety and to general improvements in the mining industry, it is endeavored to interest the mine owners in making provisions for the beginning of improvements, with view to increasing safety, i'm proving health conditions and re- ducing waste, as the practicability of such improvements may be demon strated. It is desired that the miners and mine owners cooperate in making and enforcing such. rules and reguia- tions as will prove helpful in carry ing out the process mentioned, espe- cially as will best safeguard the lives of our men who work. underground, where a single mistake may cost many lives Record shows that every days progress in mining involves ten deaths and nearly fifty serious acci- dents among men who contribute to our comfort and to our national pros perity by their work underground.
 To remedy this bad situation Tn mining, the national government has less than one cent per capita as compared with agriculture, in which we have the healthiest of conditions-for which we are expend- ing about 30 cents per capita.
 The expenditure of few cents per capita by the state toward the devel- opment of the mining industry would mean an addition of thousands of dollars per capita in the metal pro- duction of the state The first step in such progress is the proper de- of State Bureau of Mines, a State Geological Survey and the University of Arizona College of Mines.
