1t is not often that a farmer
gets a chance to enjoy the sweets
of life, CD but when the oppor-
tunity presents itself you can
bet your last copper he won't
turn it down. At the regular
monthly meeting Monday night

History of Aztec Bean

From "Yayapai" Magazine.
About twelve years ago, Shar-
lot M. Hall, who for years past
has been the official historian
for Arizona, while making re-
searches in the prehistoric ruins
of the Aztec cliff dwellings in
the Verde valley, near Camp
Verde, found a partially crum-
bled wall, disclosing an aper-
ture in the rear of one of the
chambers.
After excavating and remov-
ing the partition, Miss Hall
found two mummies, near which
were placed two ollas (porous
Indian jars), sealed. In the
ollas were found other vessels,
in which were beans of extra
ordinary size and resembling
very closely in shape and other
characteristics the white navy
bean of commerce, except that
they measured over an inch in
circumference and were very
uniform in size.
Miss Hall gave a Camp Verde
farmer several of these beans.
From the beans planted, only
two vines sprouted. These were
trellised on poles. growing to
the height of five feet and yield
ing about sixty pods each, with
an average of three beans per
pod.
Just before they had thor
oughly matured, h e farmer
missed them one morning. The
thief was not discovered and
the beans did not reappear until
two years ago, when several
farmers near Prescott obtained
a few for seeding.
In 1911, from these seeds, sew
eral bushels were harvested. A
peck was shown at the Inter
national Dry Farming Congress
at Colorado Springs. This bean,
which has been named the Aztec
and is attracting a great amount
of attention all over the United
States through this exhibition,
where it took the gold award
for the most remarkable variety
of bean listed for prizes in the

Nay Day Celebration

Notwithstanding the high wind
and the measley measles and a
few other minor things, quite a
bunch of people were out to the
May Day Celebration last Satur-
day. Plenty of lunch was taken
by the ladies, which put the
male sex in good humor, and
several young fellows were out
with their best girls. The re-
port that Prof. Haynes (who
was apparently working that day
in all three of his truck gardens
at one and the same time) got
there too late for the feed" is
strongly denied by Profs. John
son and Young, who say he was
there good and plenty-and a
leng time.
The dance in the evening at
Social hall was one of the most
enjoyable events of the season.

The early changes of autumn, so
quantity and properly named by Amer
leans, "the fall" sometimes brings
dreary sense of loss, and the sunshine
of the heart is chilled. Watch the
children at such season. Do not let
them get chilled by sitting in cold
room. Be sure the hosiery covers the
knees. See that the arms have extra
covering; we need it more during the
fall than in winter. when we are ac-
eustomed to the change.
Some of the health complaints, in
deed, all of them, come indirectly from
chill and arrangement of digestion due
to it, and then, think of the dreariness,
the melancholy feeling it engenders,
and this is often attributed to the pass
ing of summer, when in truth each
season has its beauty to enjoy.

River View SanatOrium, Marathon County

Rib View, Marathon county's new
sanatorium now under process of con-
struction, is the only county sana-
forum outside of Milwaukee county
in which the original plans have made
provision for enlargement by the adj
dition of cottages. It's administration
and service departments are planned
for an ultimate capacity of 100 pa
tients although the central building,
now being erected, includes accommo-
dations for but forty.
Rib View, which will be ready for
patients about January 1, 1917, holds
a unique place in the history of Wis
consin sanatoria. 1t is the institu-
ton whose birth is chronicled in the
moving picture film, ,"The Power of
the Penny" with its reproduction of
the dramatic scene at which the coun-
ty board in November, 1915, passed
the original appropriation of $4,000
Interest taken by county board
members at that time has increased
steadily with the selection of the site
and the preparation of the plans, the
original cost now being estimated at
about $4,000. The sanatorium is To-
Gated on plateau surrounded by high
hills and farming country. 1t is in the
