ARIZONA GETS $4,000
ACRES FROM PUBLIC DOMAIN

Phoenix, AriZ, July 1S.-The state
land commission has Just made a ire
mendOus draft upon the public domain
under the terms OF the land allot-
ments of the statehood bill 1t is for
$4,000 acres, lately released from the
Dixie forest reserve. in MohaVe county,
north Of the Colorado river. While
there IS some timber on the tract, and
IL is said to be susceptible OF culti-
walton in islOated spots. the general
run OF the land is grazing in character.
IN other new states the public land
grants have proved of tremendous
agricultural value, not only adding
dollars 10 the state treasures, but
settlers Of worth and resultant tax
receipts. In Arizona. however, most
OF the available agricultural lands
have been in private ownership for
many years. and other available tracts
classed as agricultural will need the
expenditure of millions OF dollars for
water storage works before they can
be cultivated successfully.

HOW TO PLACE BAY WINDOW
This Dwelling Ornament Must Be Put Properly or It Will Mar Looks
 of Your Residence.

Bay windows may add greatly to may greatly mar it. They should be judiciously used and carefully propor- toned.
 An attraetiyely detailed bay be- comes an important feature in the ex- terior design; therefore the interior as pect should not be the sole considera- tion.
 Too often are otherwise we'll designed houses marred by bays so placed as to have a detached appear ance. bay, to be right, must seem to have grown to the side of the house.
 Single-story bays are more easily handled than are those of two stories and may be either square or three sided. If extending to the sill line only, they require no foundation. which Is quite an item in the expense and for small houses they are extremely attractive
 The two-story bay requires skillful handling otherwise it becomes an ap- bondage most inharmoniouS It should correspond to the exterior finish of the houses. A successful treatment for bays of this description is to extend the main roof out over the bay.
 A clever architect can often accom- plish a pleasing interior treatment by grouping windows at the corner of n room, thus giving to the room the ef- feet of bay, yet interfering in no way with the exterior design.

Are You a Croaker2

A croaker sat on the grumbler's bench and eroaked that the town was dead and ne'er did once he lift his hand to push his town ahead. He cursed and swore with all his might such town he neer did see-the times were dull. the stores were bum, as bum as bum could be- And so he sat from early morn. each bright and happy day, and croaked and crooked with all his might till the summer passed away. And then one night while the wind blew cold, when the winter time had come, he croaked his last and closed his eyes upon his earth ly home. But when he reached the other shore-the city bright and fair, 1t was no good, twas dull and dead, he ne'er would enter there And since there was no other place, to the croak- CTS fate he went, unmourned by man, unwept, unsung-none cared a bloom in cent.-Anon.

Emotions are what you have when you are all stirred up; for example, when you are in love or when note which you had previously forgotten suddenly falls due. Also. when you think you are writing poetry and when you are leading one who is practically total stranger up to an altar, where, by previous arrangement and design, you have stationed q gentleman with power to cause you more future trOu- ble than you have ever dreamed of. Science tells us that something cannot come out of nothing, yet emotions seem to do this. A calm, placid lady whom you have known and trusted for years will suddenly have emotions which will create an area of disturb ance extending for miles in all direc- tions. Emotions are felt but lot seenA If you could see an emotion coming with the naked eye, you might be able to avoid it. Some men can thus avoid emotions when they see their wives coming, but not when they have emo- tions themselves.
 Emotions are of various kinds and are variously expressed; a New York policeman expresses his with club, and every dog with the end of his tail.-Life.

HOME&1D)
 nTOWND< M HELPS
BEAUTIFY YOUR HOME PLACE
1t Doesn't Cost Much But Adds a Great Deal to Value of Property
 Some Shade Tree Advice.

Beautifying the home place Is one home lover. Homes that do not re- fleet Tn some way the better natures of their owners are not what they should be. Home is the place where we spend the most important part of our lives. Homes that are not com forting to the tired home-maker have lost all their charm and usefulness. Homes should be made beautiful to the eyes as we'll as comforting to the body and nerves. If you will look about you the homes that are the best in appearance are homes that harbor gentle people. Homes that are al- lowed to run to ruin are owned by people who are careless and often shiftless in their personal habits.
 It is not hard to beautify your home. It does not require q lot of money or valuable labor. q remember seeing q little dooryard in St. Louis once in which few seeds had been planted" says q writer in Farmers Guide Pos sibly the place was not more than ten feet square. but there was such an abundance of flowers and grass on that little dooryard that it gladdened thousands of passers-by every day. That little place was tended by crippled girl. And 1t reflected more than anything else the spirit of gen erosity and gentleness which was her predominating characteristic. Money alone will never make home beauti- full"
 Many farmers plant fruit trees about the house, but shade trees would be better for the front yard.
 A shade tree to be satisfactory must be tail, thick and cover large space. Unless it is pruned high the grass will not grow well under it. The most satisfactory fruit tree is almost oppo- site this in general characteristics. It must be headed low in order to have the fruit within reach at harvest time. If it grows tall and thick there will be very little fruit and it will be of poor quality. An open top or crown Is necessary for the production of good fruit, and with this condition the shade is not good

Il heard q story the other day about the man who had always regarded wa ter with opprobrium, but never knew the exact reason why" said Monte Se- mon, manager of the Lyric. "The story goes that tramp who had wandered all over the globe for number of years, suddenly became imbued with desire to learn how to read and write. He accordingly went about his studies in a very earnest manner and at the conclusion of a short time was able to read and write.
 After a time he resumed his habit of riding the bumpers, on top the side door or any other place that was handy as means of riding the trains without the use of money. He was thrown off the train at way station the first day he resumed his travels. Upon looking up he saw large sign in the distance which read 'Waterworks.'
