Making Success OF DRY" Farming
Those who think ''dry" farming
is failure in this part of Arizona,
would have an opportunity to do a
little more thinking after taking a
look at the homestead of Gust Lar
son, on the mesa ABOUT four miles
southwest of town. He has about
thirty acres in corn, from IS to "a
inches high, ten acres in milo
maize, growing finely and aver
aging about IL inches in height,
and some fifty spineless cactus, the
latter now in its second year of
growth and doing we'll. OF course,
he gets some rain-more than in
the valley Mr.. Larson claims-but
intensive cultivation is his main re-
lance.
AS means Of producing crops
he believes thorough cultivation is
as necessary as rain, perhaps more
so, and he is acting upon tha,
theory.
People will tell you dry farming
cannot be done, but enough has
already been done in the three OF
four years Of settl> ment Of The
mesa county 10 show that good
hard work will accomplish wonders
in farming way, even If it does
not equal the production of the val
ley irligable lands.
Mr.. Lal son came here abuut
three years ago from Chicago with
very little knowledge of farmin e
except what he learned as a boy ir
Sweden. By hard work and stick
ing to it he is now the possessor OF
home of $40 of good land, eive1
by the generous hand of our Uncle
| Sam.

HOW PURE STAINED GLASS
WAS MADE CENTURIES AGO

Purity of method in stained glass
depends, in the first instance, on the
insistence upon the glass, the pot
metal unaltered by painting, as the
beautiful thing, its beauty to be en-
HANGED by the combination of color
with color, tint with tint. Then,
another characteristic should be the
insistence on the lead sash bar as n
very important dark background to
the brilliant figure composition,
flower pattern or landscape effect,
this background being comparative
ly small in the space ii occupies, but
very positive because OF its opacity.
i'm contrast with the brilliant trans
lucency of all the surface OF glass.
To really be a stained glass win
dow and not a painted or partially
painted one, the window, both as n
whole and in all details of design and
color, should consist of combination
of different pieces of glass put to-
gether precisely as in mosaic work.
Mosaic is opaque and is laid upon a
surface with cement. You perceive
the pattern or design as you would
that of a picture. Stained glass, on
the other hand, is translucent and is
held in place by an irregular frame
composed of lead sash bars. A
stained glass window is set up where
the light will shine through it. 1t
is light coming through the rich,
deep colors of stained glass, all the
richer because of the heaviness and
thickness of the glass itself, which
gives to the windows like those in the
cathedrais OF Bourges or Charities
that glorious effect studied and laud-
ed by every artist. architect and low
er of the beautiful who has visited
these edifices. -a'l}N ~. .,p,'' t's'

JAS. WHITCOMB RILEY
HAS CROSSED The BAR
BELOVED POET OF INDIANA VIC
TIM OF PARALYSIS-SUF-
FERED FROM HEAT.

Indianapolis. July 22.-James
Whitcomb Riley died at his home to-
night at 1859 o'clock from a stroke
of paralysis. He had asked for a
drink of water and reclined on his
bed again. Miss elemental Prough,
the nurse, noticing that the poet
seemed not to be resting easily, APP
preached his bed. He died before
she reached his side.
Mr.. Riley suffered a violent stroke
about 1880 o'clock this morning. and
the members of his household we're
greatly alarmed. but under DR.. Garlic
ton B. McCulloch's ministrations he
seemed to improve. Early tonight
he was said to be much better, and in
formation was given to the public
that he was in no danger.
Mr.. Riley suffered his first attack
of paralysis July 10, 1910.
None of Mr.. Rileys family, which
includes his brOther-in-law, Henry
Eitel, his nephew, Edmund H. Eitel.
and his neice. Miss Elizabeth Eitel,
were in the room when the poet died
He recovered and seemed to be in
good health until he was stricken a
second time. This stroke caused Il
complete paralysis of his right side,
the severity of the stroke wore away
somewhat until the poets hand
seemed the most affected. Mr.. Ri
ley's determination TO battle the ill
ness was shown at that time when
he set about laboriously to learn to
write with his left hand.
For several years Mr.. Riley has
spent his winters in Florida. On his
return north last May he "never felt
better" as he expressed it. Since
that time he has been in excellent
spirits and seemed unusually strong.
He had been able to go to his pub
lishers frequently. and was out in his
automobile as late as Friday.
Mr.. Riley was born in 1853. One
of the most unique celebrations in the
country was held in his honor Oct.
7, 1915, when Riley Day" was OBJ
served by a banquet in indianapolis,
and in the schools of the country at
tended by more than 100000 chill
dren. Men prominent in business
and politics from all over the coun-
try assembled to do the poet homage
and many congratulatory messages
were received from abroad.
The poets philosophy of life and
his manner of expressing it in Hoos-
Ter dialect won for him years ago a
place in the hearts of the public.
Mr.. Riley never married. His near
est living relative is sister, Mrs.
Mary Payne, of New York.
