PAGAN FESTIVALS

In ancient days the pagan world hell
festivals and had speaking. sports and
songs TO their Gods of Mythology. The
Ephesians made a great worship If
Diana and people wore her image Of
silver. Timothens tuned his Tyre and
voice to the praises of .Jove and Juno.
They also sang "Bacehus' blessings are
a treasure. drinking is the soldiers
pleasure. rich the treasure, sweet the
pleasure after pain.
Many are pagans in these days and
continue to sing the same and follow
Mars the God of war. Greek and Ro-
man literature tells Of these mythical
Gods which were created in the minds
Of men to represent certain attributes
If character.
The barbarians of the northern for
ests of Europe sang the songs of Gam
hrannis. the German God of beer. Thor
the German God of war. and Wooden the
God prayed to for victory continues 20
rule the German minds in song, story
and actions as did their forefathers be-
fore the Christian era.
JEWISH THEOLOGY.
The Jews who we're the first to give
up human sacrifice and have a moral
code to live by. also had religious fes-
tival when they worshiPed their God.
Jehovah with songs and exhortations.
The songs of Miriam and David are
suns to-day by the Christians as well
AS by the Jews. Eliiah's spiritual God
is w%orshiped by both.
A great war is raging in Europe. The
Germans are led by the spirit Of their
pagan Gods to-day. Their partners.
the Turks are inspired by the blood
thirsty sentiments of Mohammed their
Allah. (God).
The old Jewish rules of faith are

not steal. thou shalt not kill has no
bearing on their conduct toward other
tribes. We wish to show that way
back in the minds of men these ter
rible tribal wars originate in the Philo-
sophy Of their ancient religions. The
English-Latin races must meet and beat
the pagan tribes until they become
amendable to reason and not to brure
force.

POTATO K|NG OF DATE CREEK
 RAISING \ MILLION POUNDS

The Prescott Courier says: w. T. Sawyer, who some years ago was su-
 perintendent of the Alvarado mine,
 has something over one hundred acres of land on Date Creek planted in potatoes, and they are doing finely. The yield is conservatively estimated at five tons to the acre. It is stated that he will commence to market these potatoes within thirty days and will have them all on the market within sixty days. The land is locat- ed in this country, about twenty miles from Congress Junction> with good road all the way to the junction, over which the big crop of spuds can be transported by trucks. Five hundred tons of potatoes means one million pounds. And there is no danger of famine stalking abroad in this section with a few farmers of the Sawyer brand in evidence, and also, he be- longs to President Wilson's Great Service Army.
 Since the above was put in type, we had the pleasure of meeting MT. w. T. Sawyer and talking with him, and he says the estimate of five tons to the acre of his potato crop is conser- vative to the last degree. Having made the test and having the proof at hand, he is an enthusiast on the agri- cultural possibilities of the Date creek section, and says that it can, beyond and question, be made to feed and fatten all Yavapai county, so that she will be absolutely independent of the outside world so far as foodstuffs are concerned. There is an abundance of water right at hand for irrigation and power. The climate is just right, and the danger of frost is practically wholly eliminated. The altitude is 2200 feet. The maximum heat is never over 10S, and the cold in winter never registers lower than 28 above zero, and both of these extremes are of rare occurrance.

BREEDING HORSES
 FOR THE MARKET

One of the leading and growing branches of the live stock industry embraces the popular breeds of com mercial horses, especially drafters. Within the past ten years the extent of practical horse breeding on farms and the profits secured by producers of draft stocks have increased far be- yond the most optimistic expectations of informed men in the trade. AS the need of reliable power has widened and become acute in the principal farming regions, the demand for heavy horses has grown apace. And the industry is still undeveloped.
 In these circumstances, and taking into account the present high level of prices at which the standard class es of commercial horses are selling, there can be no doubt that stockmen who keep a few high-grade or pure bred draft mares, breed them to su- perior registered stallions and raise the foals in practical way, will have dependable power to sell for field and heavy road work and a sbstantial in- come from the annual sale of the in- crease. Dozens of farmers have given. estimates of returns from draft mares, used for farm work and breed- ing purposes, that were almost in- credible.
 Guided by the experience of others, those who engage in practical horse breeding on farms can avoid the com mon mistakes that hinder unaided be- ginners, and within few years devel- op highly profitable collection of equine stock. Stockmen who wish to go about this work conservatively and intelligently will secure information and counsel from men whose experi- ence will be of practical value.

BEWARE 0F THE FAKE
 STOCK SALESMEN

Taking advantage of the liber- allity of the press, the Arizona Cor poration Commission is now sending broadcast over the State warning to the people not to be imposed upon by stock salesmen, and calling the atten- tion of residents of the State to the fact that their greatest protection from men with fake promotion schemes lies in the public assisting the Commission in upholding the "blue sky" law.
 If every person who is approached by stock salesman would take the proper precautions, wild cat and fake promotion schemes would be wiped out in Arizona in six months time. The Corporation Commission stands ready to see that the law is enforced in every respect, but the assistance and cooperation of the public is an essential requirement.
 In the first place every investment company, whether domestic or fore ign, that offers it's securities in the form of stocks or bonds for sale to the public must secure permit so to do from the Corporation Commission. Precedent to the issuance of such permit the Commission conducts an investigation into the affairs of the company and if the Commission is convinced that the plan of operation is fair and equitable, a stock selling permit is issued. Companies offering their securities to the public without such permit are doing so in viola tion of the law.
 The Commission orders every con- pany granted permit, to supply each stock salesman with a copy of the permit with instructions to submit this permit to every person who is asked to purchase stock. If sales man approaches you and offers to sell you stock in any company and does not give you copy of the Commis- sions stock selling permit he is violat- ing the provisions of the permit and should be immediately reported to the Commission. The reading of this permit offers certain degree of pro- tection to the public, for in it the Commission generally sets out in de- tail not only the plans of the com pany, but list of the property it owns and it's other tangable assets. From this the prospective purchaser can very often get a better idea of the things behind company than he could by listening to a stock sales man.
 In one or to instances the attention of the Commission has been called to the fact that stock salesmen have made the statement that their com pany or its stock selling proposition had the endorsement of the corpora tion Comission. This is untrue in every instance. The permit issued by the Commission is permissive only and in no case does it constitute an endorsement of the merits of the proposition submitted. It merely means that the plan of operation ap- pears equitable on it's face. This is so stated on the permit.
 The Arizona "blue sky" law is good one and has been of considerable value to the investing public in re- cent years. Its value in the future can be greatly enhanced if the invest ors would but realize that their greatest protection lies in it's strict
