TUBAC MAY BE
DEPOPULATED

TUBAC, Ariz., Dec. 15.-Tubac, one
Of the oldest towns in Arizona, may be
depopulated if ejectment proceedings
filed in the u. S. district court at
Tucson are successful. The proceed
ings have been brought by heirs to
the Baca float Number 3, a Spanish
land grant in Santa Cruz county. The
land grant includes the town of Tubac,
and the 81 inhabitants of this place
are named as defendants. The town of
Tubac is also named as defendant in
in the action. Years ago Tubac was
one of the most populous settlements
in Arizona, and had population OF
several thousand. 1t was settled by
the Americans in 1856, but later aban-
doned by them during the civil war.
The population at present is largely
Mexican.

toy horses, woody dogs, teddy bears
and what not. held tight in their arms
is the time when the elders gather
around the table with it's burden of
apples, nuts and cider and the holy
mellowness of love pervades the home.
1t is then that story and jest of the
days doings give birth to recollec-
tions, which. in turn, prompts thoughts
for those loved ones who have wan
dered away from the old fireside and
now dwell in the sunset land meath
sunny" skies, Their Christmas wish is:
When all are merry with happy
hearts and mingling with loved ones
at home while he who is absent is
thinking of them, for no matter where
he may roam, no son of this nation
mas ever yet strayed so far, nor with
comrades so gay, that he was not
thinking of home with a wish to be
there again on Christmas day.. And
no family group ever gathered around
the Christmas tree on Christmas eve,
if one whom they loved were away
but that all were longing to see him,
and they were hoping that he would
have happy time to make him feel
cheerful and while the merriment grew
they were hoping that he basked in
some loving home far away The
exile, far from the scenes of his birth,
in city, on sea, or on a desert plain,
his spirit goes back on Christmas day,
though in strange land he may re-
main, afar from the ones whom he
never forgets-the dear hearts at the
old home far away-and in his long
ing heart comes a gentle wish to see
them again on Christmas day. And
so, as an exile far from my home and
loved ones, and friends ever dear, l
send forth this greeting of love sin
cere, to those who have long been dear
to me. l am thankful today for the
blessings of God. who gave me their
love and I pray they all know that
deep in my heart is a wish that l
might be with them again on Christ

There is something about this great

into the soul of men and women;
memory plays it's part. charity has its
inning, but love is queen of the realm.
God pity the heart that fails to beat
a little faster as the bells ring out the
glad tidings The kiddies shout and

MELT CHINESE COINS FOR
COPPER

A serious situation in Chinese none
tary matters is being developed by the
export from China, particularly to
Japan, of Chinese brass "cash," the
characteristic coins with square holes
in the center that have been the basis
of all trade in the interior of China for
many generations, says Consul General
George b. Anderson Of Hong Kong in
a recent report to the Department of
Commerce. The rise in the price Of cop
per has rendered these brass coins,
which usually contain about 80 per cent
of copper, more valuable as metal than
as medium of exchange.
For time over 5000 tons of the coins
were exported monthly to Japan alone.
A fall in the price Of copper reduced
shipments to about half this quantity,
but the export continues, and now at
various points in the interior Of China
the number of cash in circulation is far
below the requirements of the people,
and difficulty is being experienced in
carrying on ordinary trade. In parts of
South China, Chinese 1-cent pieces now
exchange for only cash, instead Of 10
cash that usually is considered a stand
ard rate Of exchange. The cash have
been,bringing about $25 local currency,
or something like $3.50 gold, per picul
Of 1873 1-3 pounds. In Japan they have
been valued at the equivalent OF $15
gold. japanese newspapers report that
the refined copper is being exported to
the United States.
The business Of buying up and melt
ing these coins has been SO large and
SO profitable that a monopoly thereof
was one Of the considerations proposed
for recent Sino-Japanese loan. The
fact that single japanese firm is in
the market for 100000 piculs 100000
short tons) indicates something of the
enormous quantity of such coins in
China. At the same time the monetary
requirements of vast population like
that of China are in proportion, and the
melting up Of such coins disturbs the
balance of supply and demand. The
first effect will be to increase prices To-
cally in terms Of cash-the medium on
which Chinese production Of goods for
export primarily is based-and it is
likely therefore to have marked effect
on foreign exports.
In view Of the foregoing it is plain to
be seen that the demand for copper
after the war merely to replace money
that has been melted for it's copper con,
tent will be no small item. And the
Chinese coins are but one instance OF
many in which useful articles have been
melted up for the copper they contain.

EDITORIAL
THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT

A great deal has been written, nat
urally, about the Christmas spirit, the
wonderful, indefnable feeling Of happi-
ness that sweeps over the world at this
season, working miracles in peoples
hearts, and making the world strangely
happy. Psychologists have tried to an
alyze it, philosophers have studied it, :
and skeptics scoffed at it, but they have
all left the problem unfinished unless
they themselves had the Christmas
spirit in their hearts. And then, OF
course, they did not need to define it.
The way to have this wonderful
Christmas spirit that makes everybody
so happy, and which sends the old world
tingling with new joy, is to do some
thing to make somebody else happy.
For the spirit Of Christmas is the spirit
of giving, the spirit of sacrifice, the
spirit of love for others. And the way
to capitalize on the Christmas spirit is
to lay aside your own desires and do
something for somebody else that will
make them happy.
There are countries in this world
where Christmas is unknown, where
the beautiful Christmas season means
nothing, and where the principles, of
Christianity are not practiced. Which
reminds us that, although we may not
always realize the fact, this is Chris
tian nation. Even the man who belongs
to no~church, who makes no open pro-
fession of his belief in a God and a
Saviour, runs his business and his life
generally pretty much along Christian
lines. He believes in a square deal, he
believes in relieving suffering, in max
ing people happy. And because one
does these things, Christmas means
more to him than it could possibly mean
to the Moslem or the Buddhist
It is indeed a poor religion that does
not make man better, and it is a poor
Christmas spirit that does not leave us
better in mind and spirit toward all
men everywhere. If we could only
carry the Christmas spirit with us
more, how much happier this world
would be!

knowledges the Christmas greeting

DESSERTS OF RICE

AS the basis of a sweet dessert,
rice is always useful, especially so
for individuals and little children.
If combined with milk and eggs it
makes a very nutritious dish, as well
as one easily digested.
Plain boiled rice, cooked either in
water or in milk and served with a.
little stewed fruit, maple syrup,
honey or other simple flavor, makes
a more wholesome dessert for chill
dren than the rich buildings or pies
because it is less likely to upset the
digestion or to destroy the appetite
for simple foods.

 The fist really practical typewritar was the invention of three residents of Milwaukee, G. l.. Sholes, s. " Soule and Carlos Glidden, and it was just half century ago that they com- menced their labors on a machine which, Mhen comPletea in 1881, had the merit of being able to write at 2 fair speed. Ghristopher Latham Sho1es. who is usually called ffHhe Rather of the Typewriter although he shares that fame with his two c9= workers, was born ninety-seven years ago today, Feb. IA, 1912, and was an educator as well as an inventor. Sholes and Sou1e conceived the idea of in= venting a machine for serially mum bering the pages of blank books Tn the machine shop where they carried on their labors they made the ac- quaintance of Carlos Elidden, another Milwaukee inventor who was then working on a mechanical spader in tended to take the place of the ploW. GIfdden became interested in the, mum boring machine, and suggested that the same principles might be used in developing 9 writing machine Sholss became interested in the idea, and the began work. Soule suggested pfvoted types set in a circle, ShQIes invented the letter space device, and Glidden also contributed 9 number of valuable ideas which were fncoFporated in the first model, which wrote fairly well and with moderate rapidity. Soule and Glidden soon abandoned the en- terprise, however, and Sholes formed a partnership with James Densmore. of MeadviIle, Pa, who joined him in marketing the first machines.
