SaIt RiDer Valley A Farm

That the Salt River valley is
 rapidly becoming one big farm is
 indicated by the fact that over
 90 per cent of the land sold dur
 ing the past year has been pur- chased by sheep and cattle rais- CTS. 50 extensive have their holdings become that in some quarters it IS predicted that they will soon own most of the ranch es in the valley.
 The large sheep and hog ranch es now being established in the valley are Tn marked contrart to the small tracts of five. ten and twenty acres devoted to intensive farming. Two or three years ago almost every settler bought a small tract and went Tn for truck or fruit growing. Now the great bulk of the sales are to sheepmen, who are securing large tracts for alfalfa ranches, where they can pasture their fiocks during the winter months. In the summer the alfalfa raised is stacked for winter feeding. It IS rarely sold.
 One of the largest hog ranches in the country has been started ten miles west of Phoenix by Col. P. J. Durbin, a California oork-chop king, who owns seve- ral immense ranches in that state. He has imported about 1900 head to start with, and now las over 2OOO. He claims that le will have from 10000 to 12.- 100 hogs on his $40 acres by next all. Flagstaff Sun.

and after looking at them all, he made no comment, until his eyes fell on the little rustic home and then he spoke of it's beauty, it's simplicity, it's naturalness. He seemed to have received a message from his former rural home-ror he is proud of having been farmer boy While he gazed at the picture his thoughts turned backward, and he spoke with so much tenderness of the old scenes, the home that he knew, and those who are left. Unconsciously he wandered back to his playground, to his growing to man hood and we saw right there how bach eior yearned for the comfort of a simple
 home again. We watched him grow as he talked, the conversation to him was casual but to listener peeped back into the plain story of his life and saw here before us full grown man-quiet, unos- tentatious, with a great big heart throb- ping with a genuine sentiment and bubbling with kindness. Looking into this little work of art, picturing nature in the simple home. he told without an effort the real story of splendidly
 This little art exhibit has more signifi- canoe than we at first had thought; it has drawn us nearer to nature And never was there more opportune time when so many homes are saddened by the dread of the war cry.

Local Vie1Us by Birnninehdm Artist
By MRS. j. B. REID

Since the Alabama State Fair office has been moved down to the second floor Of the Chamber of Commerce and has more spacious office room plan has been per- fected for a permanent art loan. Miss Carrie Hill has contributed some beauti- full local views and it is interesting to discern the tastes of different visitors as they express a preference from among che group Again it is evident that pretty pictures are always appreciated. The critic may not be a capable one, never theless, the eye is always drawn to real work of art. The. whole atmosphere of the office is changed since we are sur rounded with so much of nature A true picture tells a good story and as these speak of views we see and know there is a peculiar liking to them.
 Just quietly noting the decisions of visi- tors as to their preference. one gets a very keen insight into their real nature or love of it. For instance, one scene de- picts two tall, leaning pine trees, just as the leaves have Drowned, and they seem Yaiting in a lonesome piace sor some <hing to turn up to stir them.

This keeps skin and pores in a cIeanly condition, the com plexion beautifully white and spotless. icle are actually absorbed by it. One ounce of mercolized wax, obtainable at any drug store. is sufficient to com pletely renovate a soiled complexion. It Is used like cold cream, allowed to re- main on over night, and washed off in the morning.
 As the skin tends to expand in warm weather, causing wrinkles to form, a N1pd> astringent lotion should be used.

Vinegar Versus Bugs

From the Womans Home Companion.
 For the housewife who dislkes the task of picking over greens of various kinds because of the numbers of tiny bugs which often cling to the leaves, here is a hint which may prove helpful: After picking off all dead leaves and other foreign matter. just put small quantity of vinegar. say quarter of a cup into the painful of water in which you rinse your greens. and you will be surprised to see how the little bugs will drop off into the vinegar-water. The acid of the vinegar seems to render them powerless to cling to the leaves. and thus watercress, lettuce. spinach, dande- lions and other greens may be quickly and easily cleaned of insects. I usually give the greens a final rinsing in clear water.

"Oh. that ride to Pinson, isn't it restful? I'd like to have a ma chine and spin over it every day" The picture is an autumn scene of the Mount Pinson road, and the colors are glorious. In fact, Miss Hill shows her real love of nature in her blending of colors

It is believed, however that all have perished as the mine is filled with dense volumes of suffocating gas. Two government mine reseurers are reported to have been asphyxiated last night while trying to reach the en- tombed miners. Several bodies have been taken from the mine but the work of rescue is difficult and slow.

GREAT BATTLE BETWEEN CARRANz|STS AND

 FL PASO, Oct. 20.--A terrific battle between force of seven thousand Carranzists under General Carlos OZu- ma. and force of Villaista troops estimated at one thousand is in pro- gross in the vicinity of San Andreas, twenty miles east of Chihuahua city, according to official reporta reaching Jaurez from the Carranza commandant at Chihuahua today. The advices state that the battle commenced this morning at dawn when the Villa sold- iers attempted a surprise attack against the Carranzists who had been sent out to thwart a threatened at- tack of the Villaistas on San Andreas. The battle was still raging at noon with the issue apparently in doubt.
