The Arts of Asia.

1t was Asia, through Arabia, which
gave Europe the literature, the arts
and the sciences which we have devel
Oped and of which we now boast. Gun
powder was probably invented in
China. 1t was certainly introduced into
Europe from Arabia. The finely tenn
pered steel of Damascus went over
from Arabia at the time Of the Moorish
invasion OF Spain, and its manufacture
was continued at Toledo, The copper
smiths of Bagdad supplied the worlds
market with their wonderful produc
lions centuries before there were any
industries in Europe. Weaving of silk
and cotton had it's birth as an industry
in Arabia, and the weaving of wool
was learned by the crusaders in the
same wonderful country Astronomy.
mathematics, the mariners compass
all came to us from the Arabs.

that all men unselfshly interested in
that cause should welcome this plan

in common with other progressive
republicans, in promoting to the
best of my ability legislation for the
common good. | am convinced that
the present administration is seeking
to destroy all that we have wrought

We must unite to oppose this pro-
gram.
therefore subscribe fully and
without reservation to the plan and
purpose of the proposed conference.
will assist to the extent of my
power to make it accomplish the
purpose sought unity of action, and
the formation Of an effective cam
paign organization. My only desire
is that the conference will seek and
find the candidate who will most ably
and truly lead our forces.
The conference should have before
it the one object of promoting pro-
gressive government in Wisconsin.
The success of this cause is vastly
more important than the personal
interest or ambition of any candidates
or individual.

Bacon and Euus,

Margaret is a three year-old whose
parents are fond of bacon and eggs,
and Margaret has her share. One day
in the country she heard for the first
time a hen cackle.
ooh, MOTHER" she exclaimed. what
does the hen say?"
S"Well," her mother smiled. Il sup
pose she says she has laid an egg.'
Margaret did not understand the
smile, and after a moments profound
thought she came back again.
"And what does she say, mother"
she inquired more seriously than be-
fore-"what does she say when she
lays bacon?"-W. ]. Hampton in Judge.

Goethe on Books.

It is with books as with new ac-
squaintances. At first we are delighted
if we find we agree in general way,
if we feel friendly influence upon any
of the chief sides of our existence. 1t
is only upon closer acquaintanceship
that the points of difference become ap-
parent, and then the value of reason
able conduct lies not in shrinking back
at once. as is often the case with chill
dren, but in holding fast to'the things
in which we agree and arriving at a
clear understanding about the things
in which we differ, without on that ac-
count wishing to come to an agreement
upon them.--GOethe.

A Cargo Hard to Handle.

Asphalt is said to be the most diff.
cult cargo for vessel to unload. The
lakes in Trinidad in semifuid state
and by the time the vessel reaches a
northern port has hardened, so that to
unload it it is necessary for the men to
go into the hold and dig it out with
pick and shovel. This takes time, and
a vessel carrying such cargo always
has to arrange for considerable stay

VALLEY CATTLE
HAVE BLACKLEG
Six Deaths Near Ysleta, Two
of Them Diagnosed as
Genuine Blackleg.

BlackIeg has made its appearance in
the FL Paso valley and A. G. Graham,
county demonstration agent, sounds a
warning to all owners of cattle to
vaccinate their stock and take precau-
tons to prevent the spread Of the dis
ease.
Mr.. Graham was called yesterday to
the farm OF Bert Akers. east OF Ysleta,
where six COWS have died recently un-
der suspicious circumstances. He in
vestigated two OF the last cases to die
and diagnosed the disease as blackleg.
He went out today to vaccinate the
"a or 40 cows on the place, most Of
them from FL Paso on pasturage.
Mr.. Graham requests that If any
future deaths occur in herds in the val
ley that the owners report the deaths
Immediately so that he can investigate
and take the necessary precautions 70
prevent a spread OF the disease.
Blackleg is caused, he says, by a
germ that gets into an open place on
the skin of an animal A wire cut a
thorn prick or even a wound from
grassburs may cause the germ to in
feet an animal The disease may also
be. contracted through a cut or sore
mouth.

MESA GROWERS TO PLANT
MORE COTTON AND EARLIER

Mesa. AriZ., Jan l4--Egyptian cot
ton growers Of the Mesa section are
going to plant earlier and use less
water next season They are also go
ing to plant more cotton
Last season 1900 bales of long staple
cotton were ginned at Mesa but this
seasons production is only 25e bales
Much less cotton was planted be-
cause of the low prices that followed
the outbreak of the European war. but
this season the prices have been sat
isfactory and the demand is much
heavier than can be supplied
The yield per acre this season is
lower for several reasons One is that
last spring was cold and that in the
fall. frost came early. Another rea-
son is that there was an unlimited
water supply and the growers did not
have to exercise economy in their ir
rigation. As a result the cotton plants
produced more WOoG nut less fiber.
Hereafter most of the farmers will
plant early enough to allow them TO
complete their picking by October 1.
