TIE FAULT FINDER
(By WALT MASON.)


 The most unfortunate of men is he who hunts for something wrong, who strains his ear, again, again, to hear the false note in a song. 'Tis he who marks with gloomy eye the bridal couple as they pass, and says, Their joy will soon pass by, and they'll grow old; all flesh is grass" Iris he who stops the flow of mirth by preaching trouble and despair, who says that everything on earth is but a pitfall and a snare. He sees the ring around the moon, when other men the moon behold, and says a storm will come full soon, with hail and sleet and bitter cold. He sees the sundogs standing guard, when other men behold the sun, and says we'll all be frozen hard before the current week is done. Oh, gloom and trouble are his pets, with them he eats and drinks and sleeps; he's only happy when he frets, he's only joy ous when he weeps. 1t would be no concern of mine, if he would nurse his grouch alone; but publicly he weeps his brine, and heaves his deep, heart rending groan. An in these crucial times We need no added weight to loads of care, no sighs that make our bosoms bleed, no threats or omens of despair.

FORMER BISbEE MAN
 MAKES POTATOES PAY

The Arizona Range News of Will COX has the following to say regard ing Peter Jensen, who several years ago was a resident of Bisbee and en- gagged in the mining businers and then went to Benson:
 Tuesday morning we had an in terview with Peter Jenson, formerly of Benson, but now of San Simon. Mir. Jensen has owned land at San Simon for a number of years ever since the discovery of artesian water in the valley. He has farmed to some ex- tent, raising alfalfa and fodder crops. ! This year when the price of potatoes mounted to such dizzy heights, and when the call came to the farmers in every section of the United States to increase food production, Mir. elm sen with true American spirit and enterprise set out to plant potatoes upon his ranch. He was used to gamble on mines and mining pros poets, with varying success, and 1t ap- oeared to him the succulent tuber
 
 very hazardous risk. So he prepared 35 acres. some of it old alfalfa land, and some of it previously planted tp maize and sorghum.
 Seed potatoes came high and were difficult to obtain. He secured quan- tity Of Rural New Workers, and later through Norton-Morgan Commercial company of this place, obtained a car load of Russet Burbanks from Twin Fall, Idaho. The seed potatoes alone cost him S1920 delivered at San Si- mon. He planted in proper season, and has industriously irrigated and cultivated his generous patch. It Is watered from three artisan wells upon his premises, one flowing at the rate of 43O gallons per minute, the second at the rate of 250 gallons and the third at the rate of 300 gallons per minute. He planted about 700 pounds of potatoes to the acre. The crop is now far advanced and prom ises to be a great one with remak able yield.
 He states that in many places the yield will run 300 bushels per acre. He estimates conservatively that the field will average 250 bushels to the acre. He expects to market his crop locally. and even at the moderate price of cents per pound the return will amount to $500 per acre, or SIS. 900 for the entire crop. He says that he expects at the very low est figure to clear slO,000 on this years planting over and above all eX- penses of seed, planting, cultivation and :srvesting.
 Next year he will prepare ground and plant eight acres. Thus another great industry has been demonstra'- ed as an absolute certainty for this section of the country and is another testimony to the remarkable produc ing quality of our soils. The writer has always felt that this section would in time become a wonderful potato producer rivaling the great potato region about Greeley, Cobra do."

Speaking at patriotic mass meeting in New York City recently Charles Edward Russell of the American commission to Russia declared that separate peace between Russia and Germany five years more of bitter with Germany. And he declared further that the speeches and obstruction tactics of half dozen U S. Senators responsible for the demoraization of Russian army defending Riga, hence the capture of that stronghold by Prussians. Russell may be inclined exaggerate little but at that his decara tons should be taken seriously by the American people and press a whole. They full of truth separate peace with Russia will centainly extra year of and probably two The wull and egotistical treason of little group in congress may well have been distorted and magnifed by Prussian agents and spread where it would do the harm in Russia. And it did do harm. No doubt that Under present conditions there only classes of people in this country, American and proGermans. Everything former helps America and the allies everything the latter do helps Germany.

WOMEN AS EARLY PATRIOTS
Took Place of Fathers and Brothers
In the Great Civil War

The loyal women of Wisconsin who
welded hoe and spade for Uncle Sam
this season merely followed the noble
example of their grandmothers of the
sixties. an interesting account of
whose labors is found IN book which
has just been published by the Wis
consin Historical Society. On farms
as well as in hospitals, Wisconsin wo-
men served faithfully. Up TO 1868
some IS, 900 sons of Wisconsin had
joined the armies of Father Abra
ham" As fve-sixths of the popula
ton of the state were farmers, this
meant a serious loss in labor. The
use of new agricultural machinery,
together with immigration, partly
compensated for it. Much farm
work was done in this period by wom-
en- and children, especially among inn
migrants, but it was not noticeably
greater than before the war. But in
the closing half of the war call after
call for more soldiers was issusd, and
Wisconsin's response was unstinted.
The wages of farm hands during har-
vest increased to 81 and $3.50 per day
"But we have a great element of
strength up here which goes far to-
ward repairing the loss in farm hands
by the war" wrote the editor of the
Green Bay Advocate in 1864. 1.-The
sturdy muscular German and Belgian
women pillow and sow and reap with
all the skill and activity of men, and
we believe are fully their equals in
strength. If need be they will even
go into the pineries and do the log
ging" In the same year the La
Crosse Democrat declared, at is
not an uncommon thing to find half
dozen farms adjoining where there
is not d man or boy to harvest the
grain crop, and where the women are
half unsexed in their effort TO keep
body and soul together against the
return of husband or brother from
the war"
