SUSTAINING POWER
 IF ALFALFA LANDS

An instance of the productivity and sustaining power to the acre of the lands of the Salt River valley is to be found in the handling of the sixty acre farm of T.. H Beardsley located east of Mesa on the Roosevelt road. In endeavoring to secure specific in- stances of the number of live stock capable of being handled successfully on given number of acres, the seek CT after information ran across MT. Reardsley who is known around Mesa as ono of the energetic contented ranchcrs Of the valley and who is going through the present cramp con- nected with the purchase of lands and stocking up of ranches, and Yet who k a firm and optimistic believer in the future of land values and the wonderful advantages of the valley for the d2lrying industry. He was rather 10th to get into details, but the following shows something of what can be done in the way of rum hing stock on the fertile fields nf this section. when sown to alfalfa.
 MT. Beardsley has his farm of 60 acres cut into seven divisions in ad dition to that portion set apart for residence. sheds corrals. etc.
 By alternating the pasturing se these divisions he is now keeping in fine condition. so head of cattle, about 20 head of which are calves, the re- rlainder yearlings and older. 45 head of hogs, 8 head of sheep, 3 shetland ponies and head of work stock. He Is not bothering with chickens but has 200 oh the place. Last year from the farm in addition to hay fed his own stock he Soli off 70 tons He states that his expectation for this year is to cut 150 tons of hay from that portion of the rancn which is re- served to hay growing When the amount of live stock carried Is fig ured on. and the amount of hay cut, it will readily be seen that eastern and middle west lands at around <I0c per acre unirrigated are high com pared with those of the Salt RiNec valley. As a matter of fact there are thousands of acres in the east. That $le0 per acre would not buy and vet where 1t would be utterly impossible to carry anything like the amount pi stock that Is being kept fat on this Title sixty acre farm.

GOOD CROWD OUT

A good crowd of Tempeans attended the temperance rally last night on the city plaza, when Mrs. Grady Gammage delivered an address on the subject of prohibition, especially as it applies to Arizona, in its past, present and fu- ture relations. Mrs. Gammage speaks with logic that is irresistible and carries conviction in every word, while her charm and grace of manner win for her the appreciation of those even who differ with her. There is no doubt but that good was accomplished for the cause here.

ANIMAL LAUGHS AT HUNTERS
For Fifteen Years White Stag Has
Eluded All Pursuers In the Min
nesota Woods.

For fifteen years hunters in the
swamps near White Pine, Mimi,
have tried to send fatal bullet into
a great white buck that has headed
the deer herds of that section, SAYS
a st. Paul dispatch. The mammoth
stag plunges into the dense tamarack
swamps at the opening of each hunt
ing season and only occasionally do
hunters get glimpse of the animal,
which seems immune to hunters bull
lets.
William Lancette, sergeant of po-
lice at Ducas station, while hunting
in the vicinity of White Pine last
week with others from st. Paul,
caught sight of the white stag, seeing
it rise from a thicket at the crest of
a hill and fade into nothingness
while he was bringing his rife to
bear on the spot. Others of the party
caught glimpse of the animal as it
plunged into the thick tamarack, and
although they secured the swamp,
they saw no more of it.

have accomplished much,
in that they will raise the moral
tone of the whole Coryell's Ferry
Community through better thinking.
1t doesn't matter what your denom-
national religion is, or whether you
have any, you cannot help improve
your thoughts when spiritual re-
vival is in the town.
Rev. William Asher and his COM
patriots deserve every consideration
that can be shown them. If they
did not have their hearts in their
work the same amount of energy
applied in commercial lines would
certainly give them more income,
just as Billy Sunday could make
twice as much money in moving
pictures with half the effort.
If you can't conscientiously say
anything good for the revival, don't
make spectacle of yourself by say
ing anything bad.

WOULD APPEAL TO REASON
Writer Gives His Personal Views as
to the Proper Bringing Up
of the Boy.

1t seems to me that there should
be few rules for a boys guidance,
says successful business man. Those
few should be rules of principle
rather than of details, and should be
founded on the highest ethical basis.
His punishments, as well as his tri-
umphs, should come as natural con-
sequences of his own acts rather than
as penalties imposed or favors be-
slowed by his parents.
Every time boy does a thing or
refrains from doing a thing because
he decides for himself that, as a mat
ter of right or wrong, he ought to do
or ought not to do it, the boy makes
character. Every time he does a
thing or refrains from doing a thing
merely because he is compelled to act
or refrain from acting by reason of
the dictum of parents, he loses some
character.

have the benefit of the experience
and intelligence of parents. They
most certainly should. But it should
ho an influence appealing to their

More Lying Judges.

Judges who set aside the con-
stitution of the their State and of
the United States, and disregard law
and reason should not only be yank-
ed from the bench, but through due
process of law they ought to face a
a firing squad of United States
soldiers.
Down in Florida the Supreme
Court, an organization which has
not the faintest knowledge of law,
and deadly hatred of free insti-
tutions, has decided that news
paper cannot publish anything of a
case until decision has been render
ed, and then only that part which
has been proven.
Such decision works an injustice
to every honest man, a favor to
every crook and scalawag, and the
judges who concurred in such an
opinion must be either so monument
ally stupid that they cannot earn a
living saving wood, or else they
are traitors to their country.
Whenever a man, whether judge
or civilian, tries to prevent free
speech, mark it down that he has
some crooked scheme to put over.
Every man, from the time history
began, who tried to suppress the
public press, whether he be civilian,
judge or military officer, was and is
a crook. No honest man desires it.

E EDITORIAL NOTE S
BY THEODORE q. kITCHIN
The Bible and the Schools.

A lot of opposition has been
aroused in New Jersey by the at
tempt to pass bill requiring the
Bible to be read in the public schools
and the opposition offered to it
comes exclusively from people who
have reached a stage of degeneracy
wherein they are ashamed to be
decent.
No living person can be injured
by having the Bible-and there isn't
but one Bible, although there are
some altered limitations in the
public schools, and people ashamed
to have it known that they live in a
Christian land and among Christian
people are even farther down the
scale than those whom Billy Sunday
said would require an airship to get
into hell.
Charles O'Conner Hennessey. the
man who wanted to rob the rural
counties of their representation in
the New Jersey legislature, and who
wants the Democrats to boost him
into the Governorship, opposed the
bill, as might easily be expected.
Several Jewish rabbis and Catho-
lie priest also opposed the measure.
but as we said before, no person
fit to live under the stars and stripes
has one single thing against the
measure; no decent human being
being can have.
People who do not believe in a
Supreme Being or Christian govern
ment should be dumped on an island
and forced to live the kind of lives
they would have others live. They
would soon howl for protection for
their miserable carcasses. In the
meantime, they might elect Hennes-
sey their governor.

Suppose Billy Had Been

Just suppose that Billy Sunday
had been weak kneed, watery eyed,
chicken livered, wabbly hearted per-
son who turned a sickly green every
time his name was spoken, and who
would have shivered clear down to
the bottom of a pair of everstick
rubbers whenever anyone said boo!"
Do you imagine that he would have
accomplished anything? He never
would.
1t is funny how some people i'm
agine that they are sustaining their
regulations for sagacity, or holding
fast to a declining business by having
no opinions upon any subject under
the sun. 1t would be a huge joke
if it wasn't so solemn.
We know one man in the Coryell's
Ferry Community who will be
Prohibitionist, an anti-Prohibitionist
an anti this or a pro- that, or any,
thing else you think he ought to be
rather than to have an opinion that
might disagree with yours. Just
mention to him that mild opinion
concerning the weather might lose
him business and he will agree with
you that a bowling blizzard is a
balmy spring day. Each year his
business is dropping back, little
bit. and occasionally it takes two
or three extra bitches to the rear
wards, and each hitch makes him
more conservative still, while the
people he is trying to please buy of
other people on the same street.
Trying to please everybody doesn't
pay. Be sure you are right and
then stand your ground to the last
day in the evening. 1t pays spiritu
ally. morally and commercially.
