Arizona First" Is Suggestion
 To SightSeerS

See Arizona First This is the first duty of every American And now that We are really going to see what America is like let us take a glance at the Southwest corner. The section near the Mexican border where the oldest civilization on thia contin- ent of ours began Arizona. The land of sunshine. Supposed 10 be the land of little rain. Where water is wealth. Where everyone lives outdoors.
 There is Q great deal of misinforma- tion regarding this section of our con tinent. To one who sees the State only from the rear end of a Pullman train the outlook is not always cheer full But get into the back country, and then the possibilities of the State are realized, and there appears 10 the observing eye a limitless resource in endless variety.
 Great copper camps of the state are turning out over a million pounds of the red metal every day. And great ranges are carrying thousands of herds of cattle and sheep. Forests of pine covered mountain ranges and broad plateauK. Wherever water can be di- vertcd it is made to serve man through irrigation and when the water reaches the soil there results a growth of vege- tation that is wonderful. Nearly everything can be grown in Arizona.
 Elevations vary from the snow clad
 peaks of the San Francisco noun. tains to the low levels of the deserI plains The air is always dry. There is no humidity and the heat though registering high upon the thermometer is not inconvenient
 The attractions for tourists are un- ! limited The Grand Canyon, the Petri- fed Forest. Ice caves. Cliff dwellings. Cathedral cave and Cave houses are ! an worth visiting Indian pueblos perched like eagle nests atop steep sided mesas, overlooking the sur. rounding valleys from heights of si1 | hundred to a thousand feet. Enormous | Indian reservations. Fine trout streams Good hunting grounds and | fishing streams and lakes and finally and best the great, smiling valleys, rich with every kind of plant and tree ] life. Green fields of alfalfa stretching | for miles Orchards or orange, live and deciduous fruits. Fat cattle knee deep in lush pastures. Canals and lditches brim full of life giving water. | Feathery palms and umbrella trees
 with silvery cottonwoods border in the highways, and everywhere great
 clusters of roses red. red, red.
 This is in brief, the Salt River Val ley, where the great irrigatins system.
 the chief work of which is tbe Roose- welt Dam. has turned the desert into
 land flowing with milk and honey. , lt is not a dream. There are thou
 sands of busy hives where bees are

asingin' The ever blue sky the warm sun, and heecy clouds to make a color contrast
 All branches of education are well provided for, and everywhere the best development is given to the call Of learning
 The health giving qualities of the eli mate are well known However it Is no place for the penniless. Nature is kind in providing much that will be of benefit 10 the sick, but good food and other comforts are only to be had at a fair price In any growing com munity the cost of living is in ratio with the prosperity The country throughout parts of an Arizona is prosperous, generally speaking there is an ample supply of labor, especially light labor but in the farming lines there are plenty of openings to be had and they are we'll worth investi- gation.
 The small farm is al its best when operated under an irrigation system and here in the Salt River Valley a'l conditions are in favor of twenty acre farms Soil is right, climate is an aid to cultivation and the worker has lwater when he wants it. Safety hrst'

princes In Russian Ranks,

The native princes of the tribes of the Caucasus. many of whom are Mus sulmans, came forward at the begin ming of the war offering horses, men and money A magnificent body of na- tive horse has now taken the field. Many Russian regiments are com posed entirely of men of princely birth. Wealthy landowners, each of whom subscribed tens of thousands to the war fund, are contented to serve the emperor as plain troopers.
 The response of the Russian Polish aristocracy has assumed remarkable forms. One of the crack guard regi- ments has formed two whole com panies entirely composed of men of noble birth. among them being 20 Pol ish noblemen, headed by Prince Zam- oyski. who, discarding his high court rank. has donned the blouse Of a pri' vate in his maiesty's footguards.

HISTORY OF HIS LIFE
GARRUlOUS OLD FARMER liBER.
 At WITH INFORMATION.
Comes Pretty Near Holding the Rec oro as an Artist in Unsustsined Conversation-Somethino Of
 Vocabulary Wonder.

"The backwoods class of natives of the northern New England states which lie along the Canadian border are often depicted in stories as being of the silent type" said a Washing ton man who is recently back from a motor tour in the sparsely settled dis tricts Of New Hampshire, according to the Washington Star.
 Well. lots of them are. but when they are the opposite class fiey come pretty near holding the raim for pure. unadulterated garrr;iry. One exam pie or wh=: mIght be called sustained conversation was, 10 us, such gem of its kind that can remember a good part of it. We had just had a blowout on a roadside and in a few minutes an old farmer approached us from his dooryard. Shifting his pipe to the side of his mouth he addressed us thus. while we listened spellbound. .
 Was that your tiah jest blowed out? Sounded jest like a pistil,' Then. scrutinizing our D. C. license:
 "'Be you from the city?'
 "'yes, we answered from Wash. inSton. Ever been 'hereT
 Wal, 1 was in Washington once. 90 years ago. during the war.
 oh, and were you at the big re union at Gettysburg last year?'
 No. I didn't go daown. If I'd ben in the battil I'd hu' gone. Two or three fellers from Groveton went. and some rom Milan and some from other taOwns. l had the fortune 10 serve under Gineral Banks in the Mississip- pi valle. Then We come up the Shen- andoah and whipped up the hull val ley araound Ha'pers Ferry. Say. that g funny taown. hain't it? Haouses all runnin up the side of the hill and graveya'd on the top. We campad all winter the other side the river at that winter. We took the gravestuns and made chimneys aouten 'em. The officers were mad as the dev-vil and made us put 'em back at the end oi the winter
 Gentlemen and ladies. speakin' Of
 
 Bethel, Maine. they want but ten haouses in the hull taownship, and naow they's 10000 We used to live to Milan Corners. ten miles away. but our haOuse burnt up. IL. so happened that my wife and son had jest come from a visit to Bethel. Maine. We was all to meetin'. 1t bein' Sunday evening. and meetin' want over till nine. We see a blaze up aour way and the folks all struck up the wrong side of the river. so only two or three ever got there. My wife was lame al the time and my boy was sick, SO they couldn't do nothin' We done what We could. We saved the sewin' ma chine and the palor organ. and some O them things the women care for but the chamber sets. they cost s25 apiece. and they was all burnt. The good folks O the taown took up a col. lection and got us s200. and We sold the fam for s700 more; that made s900. Then we come over here and spent the winter at Center Station, where my wife's cousin keeps a jew. elry store. Then it so happened that the people ownin' this fam died. and that we wanted to buy.
