MANY NEW LAWS WILL
 BECOME EFFECTIVE IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS
Referendum Certain Against Three Measures And Is Be- ing Circulated A g ain t Others. Host of Laws Un- touched.

Within the next few days eighty new laws. placed on the statute books by the third state legislature and ap proved by Governor Campbell, will be come effective. Unless it carries the emergency clause, law does not be- come effective until ninety days after its approval by the governor, but as the legislative session came to an end on March 8 and most of the laws were approved promptly by the goyer- nor, they will, with the exception of those against which a referendum has been invokeod, become effective dur ing the first part of this month.
 Three of the laws passed by the last legislature and signed by the governor will not go into effect at this time, ref erendum petitions bearing the re- quired number of signatures having been filed against them with the sec retary of state. They are the red light abatement law, which was pat termed after the California statute, and which penalizes landlords; the anti gambling bill which makes the partici- pant equally guilty with the keeper of the game and which sought to include punchboards within the list of forbid den amusements, and the minimum wage for women. All of the measures will now have to be referred to the people for approval at the next general election.
 Referendum petitions are also being circulated against the county highway commission bill, the high school cadet bill and the bills creating game pre- serves in various parts of the state. In spite of the popular denunciation of it's action in attempting to file refer enjum against the bill providing for military training in the high schools, the Socialist party has persisted in its efforts to refer the measure. At So- cialist headquarters in Phoenix it was stated that the work of securing sig natures to delay the operation of the law was still going on. Opposition to the creation of four game preserves in addition to the large areas now fir bidden to sportsme1 on Indian reserva- tions has been general in many parts of the state.
 In spite of the referendum, however, a number of laws aimed at regulation of the health and morals of the state will take effect this month. Important among these are the drastic anti cigarette law, which makes it a misde- meanor for a minor to buy, or accept, tobacco in any form, or to sell or give tobacco to minors. Another law, de- signed to strengthen the prohibition amendments, fixes penalties and pro vides for the destruction of liquor seized by officers of the law. Still an other prohibits the manufacture or sale of tulapai, tiswin or corn beer, by Indians. Among the health measures may be mentioned the law abolishing

where Ole poor one grew before.
 Be sure to inoculate the seed with bean bacteria. This is important. Ii spells fertility.
 Clover, peas and beans each require a different bacteria.
 The plant family whose surname is legume, when inocuiated, performs the function of storing nitrogen from the air into the soil. Two years ago 100 pounds of crude nitrate sown on an acre cost s2; now it costs S20. The bacteria does it for nothing.
 The State Agricultural college at Pullman, Wash, has increased the yield of their arid lands 100 per cent by the use of Bacteria alone.
 The only way to do thing is to DO that thing
 There is more money in beans than in mining stocks.

Experienced Farmer Writes of Possibilities of Raising Nu- tricious Food Product On Acres Now Going To Waste.

Editors Note-The following let ter, entitled Opportunity and Beans, 2 throws considerable light on the food situation and the possibilities of Co., chise county for its relief. The author, MT. R. s. Harris, has mad years of experience in various lines of farming and has been much impressed with the looks of certain lands in the neigh borhood of Bisbee.)
 By R. s. Harris.
 Cochise county has the necessary factors for raising beans on a large scale. without irrigation. rarely found elsewhere This is news to many. But knowledge is power" It only re. quires intelligent selection of soil, the kind of bean and the proper method of procedure, to put Cochise county on the bean map of the world.
 There are many thousands of gently sloping and nearly level acres of rich loam wash from the lime hills and from one to three feet thick, underlaid with clay Such soil when fallowed early and left rough holds all the wat CT and becomes its own reservoir.
 Many arid sections, like California, have no summer rainfall. Cochise county has rain during July and Au- gust when the sunshine is warmest. Under such environment the bean is most happy and works double shift. Not all kinds, however, will do this here. The limas will go on strike. Be ing natives of the high attitudes of Peru. they demand a long growing season in cooler air, similar to the coast climate.
 Don't plant limas here for profit without irrigation
 Plant Mexican red or brown frijoles, pinto, bayou, and such varieties, that mature in six to eight weeks.
 Raise your own seed and "selectiye draft" it with care.
 Be wiser with beans than nations are with their people.
 Don't slay the best and save the scrubs for seed; then wonder why so many are bad" Screen the seed.
 Plant the best. Under the law of Mendelianism some of these will show the "recessive" trait. Such plants are called "rougues" by those who know beans"

 Divorced persons will be compelled to wait for one year before remarrying under a new law which goes into effect June 12. While there has been some question as to whether the law would apply to divorces granted before that date, it is generally taken that it will not. As result there has been noted marked increase in the number of di- vorce suits filed since the law was passed
 Important among the new laws which take effect June is that creat- ing the commission of state institu- tions. This new body is to be com posed of three members, appointed by the governor, and is to take over the administrative functions of the board of control, which is abolished by the same measure. The new commission will, however, have complete supervi- sion not only of the corrective and penal institutions of the state, but also of the educational institutions, includ- ing the State university. Another i'm portant law is the widows pension law. which was passed in the last few min utes of the session. It provides for pensions of from S15 to s60 per month for widows with dependent children who have resided in Arizona for one year.
 Another measure that is of impor- tance to the people of the state is that combining the offices of county and city assessor and county and city tax collector. Under the provisions of this measure the office of city assessor is abolished and the county assessor also assesses the city taxes. The office of city assessor and city tax collector is abolished except in the cases of cit ies operating under special charters| which may amend their charters so as to conform with the new law if they so desire.
 Other laws which will shortly take effect are the brokers license bill, | which requires an annual license fee of | s200 from each brokerage house oper- ating in the state and the filing of 5000 bond; the bill providing for the establishment of free employment oi- fices under the supervision of the com mission of state institutions in cooper ation with the federal department of labor; the law forbidding the printing of anonymous advertisements in con nection with any initiated or referred measure of amendment to the consti tuition; a law providing method for the extermination of prairie dogs by the various counties, and a law making it possible for every county in the state to hold county fair once year if it so desires. The last-named meas ure carries an appropriation out oi state funds of s1,00O for each county that desires to hold such fair.
 Among the appropriations which will be available immediately for state buildings are $125,OOO for an addition to the state capitol building; s30,O00 for a mining exhibit building at the state fair grounds, and s7,0O0 for the purchase of the old guberantorial man. sion at Prescott Other appropriations for bridges in various parts of the state carried the emergency clause and are already being used.

As you have gazed at beautiful
picture, recalling and associating ex-
pcriences, comparing and creating
IDEAS, have you felt the lack Of words
TO express your inner feelings?
Many expressions have made me on
serve, investigate and experiment, anc
| find there arc moments in every
ones life when words are not ade-
quatc to express the feelings.
The thing We have ycarned Tor ana
have left unsaid is the thing that we
admire most in the other person. We
can really appreciate what the other
person has expressed after we hav"
experienced.
There are those who argue that mel
ody building is only for those who ex-
pect TO be great composers; hence "
is not necessary for general cducI-
ton. How shall this feeling be over
come! Start every one to creating
music. You say, Yes, but how shall
that be done! First, take away the
prejudice that musical composition IS
only for professors, by calling atten-
ton TO this fact: Does the parent seno
the child to school to study reading,
spelling, grammar. writing. rhetoric
and composition in order to make him
a Longfellow, a Browning, Shake
speare! No; in order that he may ap-
preciate as well as enjoy Longfcllow,
Browning and Shakespeare. How are
we to know that genius equal to Long
fellow, Browning and Shakespeare is
not latent If we do not give 1t a
chance TO develop.
No other branch Of study offers as
great possibilities for individual de-
velopment as music. The three strong
est senses-hearing, feeling, seeing
are always in use. Can finer sense
Of feeling, hearing and seeing be de-
veloped by any other training!
II has been said that only great sor-
row and music can develop a sense OF
inner feeling that is akin to intuition.
The musician sees beyond the visual
and dscerns what he feels and hears
he feels, understands, sees and hears

stage where we believe in individual
development.
Inner feeling does not mean merely
something sentimental and emotional
Inner feeling in music is developed
through previous experience or pre-
vious knowledge, also through the ear,
eye and touch. The feeling through
the ear, eye and touch is developed
beyond the mere sense Of these. We
may hear and not feel. IL hearing Is
feeling, all could go to the coneerS and
get the message.
The right kind Of feeling must De

Reasoning means discrimination,
judgment, power to choose. l develop

tells the use of the thing, besides de-
fning and comparing. reasoning
story must never be bigger" than the
thing it teaches, and it must not be
told the pupil. but be brought out OF
him by question.
The feeling and reasoning may be
correct, but drills are necessary to de-
yelop sklfulness.
Drills do not mean doing thing over
and over in the same way.
Drills are presented which require
the pupils to sing, spell, play and write.
Certainly these drills take in every
thing.
The teacher analyses the pupils mis-
takes and Classics them under the
three heads: Ear, Eye, Touch. The
teacher analyses her own work by the
following: A thing can only be funda-
mentally correct when it is finally cor
rect.
One OF the principles Of nature, with
which we are all familiar, is that things
move in clr:'es.
Inner feeling, reasoning and drills
complete a circle; inner feeling is the
goal; we start with it in view and work
with it and for it; we go through the
reasoning and drills, and finally arrive
at inner feeling. Inner feeling-Ex-

The teacher Of music must teach

b. strument The more we know about
music the more We can put INTO II.
and the more we can get out OF II, and
the more meaning we can draw out OF
everything else. Every student should
be taught the following subjects along

the ear we are taught TO observe and

because it's broad study balances the
student. The training Of the hands

Training the Violinist

tic deficiencies no longer pass unrecog-
nized and uncondoned.
But Just as this Violinist, years ago,
easily succeeded in hypnotizing the stu
dent world, so other players have since
then completely upset the mental equi-
librium of an untold number of ambl
tious young players. For violinists are
only human, after all, despite much ex-
listing evidence 70 the contrary. Some
may vaguely remember 2. I. Barnum's
name, but few (among the younger
ones, at least) are probably familiar
with the shrewd showman's opinions
on the gulliblity of the human race.
There is this, however. in favor Of
their sanity and in explanation of
their illogical conclusions; their strug-
gle for technique is so strenuous, the
road they must travel is so long and SO
bcset with discouraging obstacles, and
gifted teachers who thoroughly under
stand the principles of violin technique
and possess, at the same time, the
mentality 70 imnar, their knowledge -.
are so rare that the student despair
ingiy grasps az any visible straw.
To him every new star in the mu-
steal ornament brings n message OF
hope that some far distant teacher pos
sesses mysterious technical formula
which will transform him. too, into a
great artist. He cannot know how in
significant a part some celebrated
teachers have played in the develop
ment OF the one or NO pupils 10 whom
they owe their fame; nor does he az
tempt TO learn why these teachers, in
the many previous years Of their &C
tivitY and opportunity. utterly failed
TO develop even one artist OF recog-
nized merit.
For them il sufices that the new
hero has succeeded in what they aspire
to, and hypnoti2cd by the much -auded

Ancient Cithara
Parent Of Harp
By Kitty Berger

The either is one OF the oldest in
struments in history; being none other
than the psaltry mentioned in the Bible,
it formed part OF the orchestra that
led the grandest ritual of divine wor-
ship the world has ever known.
1t was popular in ancient Greece as
the "cithara," and was a fayorite with
the Athenian maidens of the days Of
Pericles and Aspasia. IL has invariably
occupied a prominent position as an
instrument of peace and refinement.
From this time various improvements
were made in the instrument, notably
the addition of strings-the earliest
record gives but three Tirpander OF
Antissa formed heptachord, to which
Timotheus added two more strings; but
the Spartans forbade more than seven

sidered the eneryating influence of COM
plicated harmonies).
AT that time the strings were touched
with plectrum, which, however, was
superseded temporarily by the use OF

paintings found at Herculaneum Con-
trary to general opinion, the either

used and popular in those countries.
AT the time of the Roman war the
returning Crusaders brought the in
strument from the Romans across the
Rhine, and it was taken up by the
Bavarians. who. as time went on. con-
stantly worked out improvements by
aff'1 strings. Later a body and
hnPerboard we're added. and they
called it either. In this shape il be-
came known first with seventeen. then
thirty-two. and later on still more
strings were added until they mum
bered thlrty-siX or thirty-eight.
Now, lt is natural that with the
greater Improvements Of the instru-
mcnt there came the greater difficulty
OF mastering II. Il was no longer an
instrument where one could pick out
tune. but some, musical knowledge
was needed 70 play Il. Even now there
are comparatively few good players
anywhere
Only IN recent years there have come
