A Pretty Warm Sun

If we could build up solid column of ice from the earth to the sun, two miles and half in diameter, spanning the intervening distance of 93,000,000 miles, and if the sun should concen- trate his entire power upon it, it would dissolve in single second, ac- cording to the calculations made by Prof. Young.
 The great German physicist Helm holtz was the first to explain satis- factorily what keeps the sun hot The sun is not burning; it is heated to the glowing point, like a piece of white hot iron. Helmholtz found that if we suppose the sun to be contracting by only 250 feet year we would receive our present amount of heat. In other words, heat is being literally squeezed out of the sun. Prof. Newcomb esti- mated that when the squeezing pro- cess has continued for about 100000 years, the sun will be one-half of its present size.

SOlicitus

They were speaking about looking on the practical side of things the other night, when this incident was recalled by Congressman Stephen A. Hoxworth of Illinois.
 One afternoon late in the fall Uncle Josh was driving slowly toward the town when an acquaintance excitedly rushed out to the road and hailed him.
 Say, Josh," he exclaimed in pal pitating voice, have ye heard the news? ?"
 "No, don't kalkerlate l have" re- sponded Uncle Josh, socially stopping his team. "What kind O news is it?"
 Jim Smith committed suicide" re- sponded the other. Hung himself from beam in the barn."
 "Ts that so?" thoughfully rejoined Uncle Josh. "Wonder if he got all of his corn husked?"

Provided With Tickets

Mary Ellen, the colored maid, had been carefully instructed by her new mistress in number of things con- corning which she appeared to be pro- foundly unenlightened. Particular stress had been laid upon the proper manner of receiving visitors and of informing the mistress of their pres ence in the house.
 Perhaps altogether too much had been said about it, or perhaps Mary Ellen had stage fright at the crucial moment, for when the first callers came, after Mary Ellen's advent into the family, she "ushered'' them only as far as just inside the hall door. Taking the cards they gave her, and leaving the visitors standing there, she went to the foot of the staircase and shouted:
 "Mis' Gallatin! Oh, Miss Gallatin! Dere's two ladies down here dat's come to see you, and dey's fotch dere tickets"

FLAGSTAFF AND NATION
 WIDE PREACHING MISSION

Flagstaff, in the near future, is to take its part in the big national reli- gious movement that has been spread ing across the continent, from the States of the Atlantic coast to that of the Pacific. This church campaign, as it may be called, was the immediate result of the great European war. The church as whole felt, as never before, the necessity of bringing be- fore the minds of people in general the true principles of christianity, quite regardless of religious sects. A call was at once issued to the various bishops, clergymen and laymen for a general convention, where resolutions were passed to organize commission, whose business it should be to devise ways and means for the best present ing in systematic manner, before the people the essential features of reli- zion. The Rev. James E. Freeman, D. D., of Minneapolis, Minn., was elected secretary of this commission, and un- der his generalship the nationwide mission, as the movement is technic- ally called, has spread very rapidly and very successfully throughout the United States. From the large cities of New York, Chicago, St. Louis, the interest has spread to nearly all the small villages and parishes of the country.
 Flagstaff is already preparing to take its part in this religious mission by arranging for a week of addresses and talks by men of ability as speak CTS, and of prominence in the religious world. The purpose of these meetings will be to present calmly and clearly as we'll as thoughfully and intelligent ly, by demonstrating to the reason rather than by appealing to the emo tions, that the spirit of christianity is one and the same with the spirit ot humanity and civilization.
 The exact date of meetings, names of speakers, topics of addresses, anc other items of news on the subject will be published in The Coconino Sun

Curfew Bell Not Needed to
 Wake Up People In Winslow

Mayor Nathan By, of Winslow, went through Flagstaff Sunday on his way to Phoenix to look after his in- terests in that section of the country. As soon as he heard the busy hum of industry, including the great rush of passenger traffic here, he said: "This is merely the hum of humble bee as compared to the rushing progress our city of Winslow is making. During the next year we will have all kinds of things doing in Winslow including a city election that promises to make the Little Colorado to overrun its banks. The town is growing so fast that it has put out the red lights in certain portions of the city. We are now figuring on purchasing COW pasture five miles out for site fol the city hall, in order to have it in the center of the city next year"
 Of course, we are willing to admit that the reporter who gathered this information from Mayor Bly,, may have stretched his remarks some, but at the same time the Mayor was none pessimistic as to the future of his city.

SUDAN GRASS WOULD BE
 PROFITABLE CROP HERE

Sudan grass, the new annual hay grass introduced from Sudan in 1909, was so enthusiastically received by the farmers in the semiarid portion of the United States that in 1913 the seed which was available only in lim- ited quantities sold readily at Sl per pound and even more. These unusual prices gave Sudan grass seed produc- tion great impetus, so that in 1914 seed was much more abundant, the crop being roughly estimated at from five to six million pounds. Three or four million pounds of this amount were produced in western Texas, where for a time an attempt was made to maintain the price at $1 per pound. In other localities, however, the seed was offered at 25 to 30 cents per pound, and as result of this a great deal of the Texas seed of the 1914 crop remained unsold in 1915. i This surplus seed carried over from 1914, together with that from the 1915 crop, has fully supplied the de- mand, and the price of seed has dropped to 5 cents pound or less wholesale, and from to 10 cents a pound retail Under favorable condi- tions seed can be profitably grown for cents per pound, since yields of 500 pounds per acre are quite common, and 1000 pounds per acre very often are obtained under favorable condi- tions without irrigation. With irriga- tion the yields may reach 2,000 pounds per acre. Sudan grass is usually grown in cultivated rows when seed crop is desired. Planted in this way it is readily harvested with a row binder, and after curing well in the field it can be thrashed with an ordin- ary grain separator. Since no espe- cial machinery is required to handle the seed crop, the expenses are re- duced to a minimum, and there re- mains no reason why the seed should not be reasonably cheap and abundant.
 The most dangerous weed pest of Sudan grass fields is Johnson grass. This grass is common in the South and not infrequently occurs in fields of Sudan grass. The seeds of Johnson grass resemble Sudan grass so closely that only the very closest examination will reveal their presence.

EVEN PRINTERS TROUBLES
 MIGHT INTEREST YOU

The following announcement made by a paper mill may be of interest at least it is to printers, especially as they are almost unable to get quota tion on paper for time long enough to find out whether they can get the job landed. Many printing plant is looking for landing right now with a good prospect of hitting deep place in the stream.
 We are confronted with a condition never before known in the paper busi-' ness. Due to the fact that the print CTS and jobbers of the United States have been carrying very low stocks the past twelve months, and that there is a great scarcity and an enor- nous increase in price of raw mate rials entering into the manufacture of paper, prices are advancing rapidly on all papers, and we do not know where the advance will stop.
 VIC duOIC yOus siiC iiSiNoSC VI piiNNo on some of the materials entering into the manufacture of papers:
 Unbleached Sulphite Pulp from 1.80c to 31ac per pound.
 Bleached Sulphite from 2.40c to 5c per pound.
 Bleaching powders from 1 1Ac to 20c per pound.
 Blue from 2Sc to $S.60 per pound.
 Red from 2Sc to $500 per pound.
 Fourdrinier Wires from 200 to BIC per sq. it.
 Bituminous Coal from $500 to $6.00 per ton.
 Twine from 12c to 24c per lb.
 We would suggest to users of paper that they carry at least six months supply on hand, as the foreign mark cts are ready to take all the paper they can get in the United States at much higher prices than are now pre- vailing in our domestic market.

VERDE HOT SPRINGS IS s4.
 k0T SUCH A HOT COUNTRY

The following interesting letter con- cerning the winter months at Verde Hot Springs, along the Arizona Power Go. line, from Ed. V. Randolph would indicate that the weather had not been all to the sunshine:
 Dear Col. Breen:
 q am at Hot Springs and thought you might be interested in knowing that summer is here. I will send you proof of it by the enclosed. Enclosed we found dried flower, stem of alfalfa, also either a robbins tail Heather or quail's top knot. No spring bird songs were included, but the presumption is that the birds are now using them). I came here the 21st of December and the weather was fine then. It soon began to storm and I never was in a more bitter snow storm. The country was covered with snow foot deep down to the waters edge. I do not know how deep it was in the hills as had no stick long enough to measure it. I had list of things made up at one time to send to you for, most important of which was The Coconino Sun, and then there were two fur lined overcoats, two pair of snow shoes, seven Esqumaux dogs, but there is no use going over it all now as we wiggled through without them. After the snow storm we had long, slim fierce rain. The Verde river was higher than it has ever been since the Arizona Power Go. has been located here.
 It has all cleared up now and noth- ing unusual has happened, only that on Feb. 18th came near getting drowned and Ed Rancon's dog got begged down. expect to come home the first of April"
