Landscape Gardening at Tucson

The Tucson Citizen having entered into truce with the weather bureau has started a warfare upon the park superintendent of Tucson, evidently of Ger man descent for the Citizen to his opprob- nously as subject of the Kaiser" who is making of Tucson What the Germans made of Belgium and Serbia Tie Citizen calls upon people to arise and stop the efforts of this vandal transform Tucson back into the desert form which it been emerging for the last two and half centuries
 This park superintendent seems to be a sort of futurist or cUbst landscape gardener. He is intro ducns style of gardening with which the Citizen isclflirns any familiarity. He is uprootng the trees and bushes and substituting them srowths, including all the varieties of cacti he can find he is building piles of rocks and sticking sticks into them and he is making holes the ground and filling them with stagnant water, all of which the untutored Citizen seems foolishness. The park su- perintendert calls these disfgurements Desert dens' Indian Gardens"
 We, too, against the park superintendent. The less of this kind of landscape gardening in this country the better people want to see it at it's best far beyond the weak power of any imtator from any point in Arizona Those who do not care to take ihe drive will really miss nothing worth while

THRIFT LAY ANOTHER
 STEP IN EDUCATION

The ability to make money is fine thing, but without the proper discern
 ment that ability can be practically
 wasted. As a nation of workers. our citizens command larger wages than are paid in any other country, but as
 q nation of savers we are far behind many who are far less favored than we are, and one of the hoped for influ- enoes of day set apart annually for universal thought to be directed tow ard the true meaning, the efficient practice and the intestimable benefits 5f thrift is that the attitude of the public mind may be changed from one which welcomes extravaganza and tol- crates debt to that of a real belief in the desirability of spending a little less than is earned.
 lt is interesting at this point to note that the first step in the thrift cam | paisn inaugurated by the American | society fo1 Thrift, which was organ | lzed almost two years ago in Chicago | at the instance of one of the foremost
 educators of that city for the purpose I of promoting thrift bv inquiry, educa-
 ion and discussion was to arouse the
 interest of school children all over the
 country in the subject of thrift by in viting them to enter into prize con- I petition on the question, What Is | Thrift"
 l It naturally follows that in the re-
 duction of waste a saving takes place. l Thrift iii money matters takes the | concrete form of savings. What to do ! with the increased savings that they l may be constructively and safely em- l ployed then comes up for considera-
 ton, and undoubtedly as the result of
 the fuller observation of Thrift day. 1 f'ebruary 3, thousands of dollars will

A recent visitor to Chandler was much surprised to learn that the Chandler schools maintained q teach ing staff of fourteen teachers, with an enrolment of 342 pupils. The growth of the school within the last five years. from nothing to it's present proportions, has been phenomenal
 The main building is constructed of concrete, in Old Mission style of architecture, with three units grouped on the colony plan. There are ten class rooms, with a well appointed laboratory, domestic science room, sewing room and library. The Man ual Training room is in a separate building al the rear of the main building, It is a well equipped and an exceedingly popular department of the school
 About 254 volumes were added to the library last year and about one hundred dollars worth of labora tory material. including a compound mi croscope, were added. Considerable playground apparatus was installed including a giant stride, swings, turn ing bars and teeters.
 The high school consists of three teachers and 40 pupils The course 1 includes besides the usual subjects, Spanish, General Science and Agri- culture, Domestic Science and Manual Training. A school garden is main

What We Know and What We Do Not Know

 But the paper is disfigured with patent medicine ads, one of which occupies in the latest issue entire page, illustrated with pictures of those who have been reprieved after the doctors condemned them to die It is stated. though, that this specific lis not patent medicine, for it's ingredients a secret. At list of them is given the eleven in gredients of which the medicine is composed incud- ing Chinese rhubarb" and golden seal"
 Patent medicine is given by common un- derstandins to all medicines offered for whether they are secret preparations proprietary medicines So far as concerns the buyers it makes very little difference whether they know what ngrdients enter into the compounds They certainly have to take the word of the proprietor of whom they know nothing for the effect likely be produced by the mixture of these "well-known" ingredients The patient who employs physician whom he knows and in whom he has confidence, seldom knows inquires as to the ingredients of the medicines the doctor prescribes for him.
 The chief harm in patent medicine lies in the temptation it holds the people who read the advertisements to believe that they are sick when they not when the advertisement describes cer- tain symptoms which to the most of us at times and which magnify into evidences that we are suffering of the disease diseases which the medicine purports to relieve. Assuming that the medicine possesses medicinal properties and may benefit one who is actually sick (and that is a violent assumpton) such medicine must be harmful to one who is rot really sick. do not call upon a phy- slclar until we are actually sick that if there virtue in the medicine that he administers it is likely to be beneficial It is given the purpose of meet Ing or counte1acting certain condition of the body We cannot, at any rate blame the physician and his medicine for having suggested our illness That is the chef eV effect of patent medicines kinds upon the ignorant and nnety-nine a hundred of us are ignorant in this respect.

not played amateur setback in 9
good while, and while he was think
ing Of the big bills he had been sell
ing that day. and for several days
before, Col. Roche put one over on
him.
But if you undertake to do the
same trick in selling furniture you
will have q more, difficult task than
Col. Roche had, because the Presi-
ent is up, on the furniture business.
He knows all about beds because he
sleeps in one every night, and ne
likes dining table so well that ne
has this line Of his business "by
heart"
! Looking for the big trade he knew
he would have before the holidays,
he bought all kinds Of things and
has them in, his store. If you are
looking for something for your wife,

should give her, you will find it at

call, but don't get him started to
talking on setback, if you have any

ILLUSTRATED LECTURES.

After Christmas Rev. H. Waddell
Pratt will deliver 4 series of illus
trated lectures in the Court House
for the benefit of the Civic Club.
These lectures will be on the order
of the illustrated sermons which
have been so greatly enjoyed in the
Presbyterian church lately, save
that the subjects will be literary.
There will be lectures of travel, of
the great historical figures of the
world, of the famous books and
plays and of other subjects which
will be particularly interesting to
the High school pupils.
The club feels that it is FORUM
ate in getting this series of lectures

of the club to make money but to
stimulate desire for literary cul-
