of the Prairie. He has not gone very far with the devel- opment of his homestead and of course, has a good deal to do to make it the productive pro- perty that every farmer must have in order to justify the claim that prosperity abides with him, but ask MT. Dornan and he will tell you that he ex- poets his farm to bring pros perity within a few years. He has full faith in the possibili- ties of Garland Prarie and be- lieves they will be developed just about as such possibilities have been developed in other agricultural districts.
 MT. Dornan has 55 acres in cultivation. He had 45 acres in oats from which he cut and stacked 50 tons of hay. He had five acres in potatoes, but this crop was ruined by frost. The remaining five acres were put to truck and they yielded abundantly.
 MT. Dornan's hay crop was worth $1,OOO. The truck was we'll worth $2OO. The fnan- cial returns from MT. Dornan's farming would, then, be about $1,2OO. Not so bad when you consider that MT. Dornan is a pioneer with only a small part of his farm in cultivation. 125 acres of his 16O is blow land. With this acreage in cultiva- tion, MT. Dornan should make a good income from his farm, if careful to apply such agri- cultural methods as are best adapted to the climatic condi- tions of this country.

APACHE AND NAVAJO
 AT THE STATE FAIR

The two northwestern coun- ties of the state are Apache and Navajo. Both these com munities are represented in the agricultural display at the state fair this year with splen- did exhibitions of their soil re- sources, demonstrating that the disastrous results of the floods of two years ago that wiped out the irrigation sys- tems there in use have been overcome if not forgotten.
 Last year F. J. Willis, com missioner of Navajo county was on hand with a. splendid exhibit of dry farming pro- ducts that won the prize at the Denver Dry Farming congress but if the display that is on hand this year were taken to the same congress, surely two prizes would go to this enter prising and successful farmer. MT. Willis display of sheaf and sacked grains is especially good and complete, while the fruit and vegetables add an other bright page to the histo- ry of the raising of such pro- ducts in what has long been known as an arid state.
 Almost the same might be said of the exhibits of MT. E. J. Udall, of Eager, Apache coun- ty. Mrs. Udall was on hand last year, as she said "to learn" though the display was not ex- tensive, but this year she is here with her county exhibits in splendid condition, and it is one of the bright spots of an unusually large and diversified exhibition of agricultural pro- ducts. Here again the farm growings of the temperate zone predominate; apples, pears, corn, and hard grains show up in profusion, with squashes and vegetables to make the mouth of the lover of farm dinner" water with ex- pectation.
 Both Navajo and Apache county have cabbages on dis play that are models of size and solidity yet crisp and green. Each year sees the dis plays from these two far away counties increasing in effective ness and beauty. The wonder

Forging Cheeks His Weakness


 Gray Sabedra, the Mexican who passed a forged check at the Grand Canyon Drug Store, was brot down from Flagstaff Friday for a hearing before Judge Twitty.

 Sabedra has been convicted in a New Mexican court of the same crime and is now out on parole. Signing other peoples names to checks seems to be his weakness.

Wholesome Food

Did you ever consider what a difference there is in biscuits, cake, mufins, etc., made with Dr. Prices Cream Baking Powder and those made with cheaper baking powders containing alum or phosphate?
 Dr. Prices Cream Baking Powder is made with Cream of Tartar derived from grapes, delicious hea1thful fruit, and that is why it produces wholesome food, superior in texture and keeping quality
 Alum and phosphate are derived from mineral acids, and the only reason for using such substitutes for Cream of Tartar is because their cost is very much less to the manufacturer. Remember this when buying baking powder and be guided by the label on the can, which gives the names of all the ingredients.

CANON MAN REMEMBERS
BUYING U. S. BONDS CHEAP

Talking about the safety and value
of the bonds OF foreign nations Mr..
John Maclean. who lives on Orchard
ave. said the other day that he re.
membered when boy in England,
his guardian invested some of his
funds in foreign bond that seemed
just as questionable at the time.
He had about 200 pounds sterling
about $1,000 in U. S. money. So
his guardian bought United States
bonds. That was near the end or
soon after the close of the war. The
U. S. bonds had dropped to a very
low mark-somewhere about 60 cents
on the dollar. The bonds paid 5 per.
cent interest on the face which was
about 9 percent on the cost of the
bond. He got the interest regular.
ly, with which he bought his clothes
Later, when he grew to manhood the
bond was sold at par. netting about
40 per cen: gain on the original in.
vestment.
Many people in England invested
In U. s. bonds at that time and
profited greatly by the speculation.
