Bid the Boys Farewell.

The lads from Winslow who
have gone to join the 1st Arizona
Infantry will always have pleas
ant recollections of the farewell
received at the hands of the citi-
zens. Saturday afternoon about
five hundred citizens, including
the Red Cross society and the
Home Guards, assembled on Front
street at the city hall to bid the
boys goodby. E. F. Shindel, as
spokesman for the Red Cross,
presented a silken flag to the
recruits that they might have an
ever present reminder of the in
terest the home folks take in
their welfare. The Santa Fe
band played several patriotic airs,
and the crowd gave the boys
three rousing cheers. On the
arrival of the train that was to
convey them to their destination
the band led the parade to the
depot, and until the train depart
ed the recruit were busy shaking
hands and bidding adieus to the
relatives and friends left behind.

A man whose name is un-
known, a passenger from the
east on No. 81. jumped through
the window of the coach Sunday
morning, when the train was
nearing Cliffs and running about
thirty-five miles an hour. The
train was stopped and backed up
and the injured man picked up
and taken to Flagstaff for treat
ment. An examination disclosed
a dislocated hip and a badly
bruised body. It is supposed the
man became suddenly insane, as
prior to his rash act he had at
tracted no attention by any pc
culiar actions.
A brakeman named H. H.
Wood, recent employe of the

"sy Royal Appointment.

Once year. In the New Years Ca
zette, appears 4long list cf tradesmen
who are holders Of royal warrants.
This list at the present time exceeds
100 names. Since the death Of Queen
Victoria considerably over three hum
dred names have been added.
It is privilege greatly coveted ana
much envied-this of the royal war
rant, for It Is not one lightly bestowed
upon every tradesman who has sup
piled goods to his majesty's household.
1t is distinctly mark of royal favor,
and to some extent a testimonial to the
excellence Of the purveyor's goods.
Its principal outward sign Is the use
OF the royal arms over the shop-frontI
and upon the writing paper Of the wnr-
rant-holder, and II is IN offense against
the law for any person not being o
warrant-holder to use the arms. Ap-
parently, however. Its misuse Is a COM
mon occurrence, for during recent
years hundreds Of cases of improper
use have been dealt with by the Royal
Warrant-H Holders association. London

Vast Wealth w...sd.

The extent Of the waste which has at-
tended the lumber industry of this
country Ia just being appreciated and
efforts are being made to correct the
matter. Proprietors Of mnny OF the
largest sawmills are installing special
apparatus to save material which was
formerly wasted or sent to the burner.
The price Of paper has risen so greatly
since the outbreak Of the European
war that paper pulp manufacturers are
becoming more and more interested In
the utilization Of wood waste. When
It is realized that more wood Is wasted
than actually utilized In our great lum-
ber industry, which uses 10000, 100000
board feet q year. II n seen that there
are great opportunities to save this
waste. Over 100000 cords Of slabs,
sawdust, cdgings and other mill waste
were used for making paper pulp last
year.

MOST vENoMous or SNAKES
indIa ssIlsvsd q Contain the Creature
That u Dreaded by Every Other
Living Thing.

The most venomous OF snakes Is held
TO be the echis carinnta Of India. It
is about IS inches long and Of gray
color. The creature Is death itself, and
carries In Its head the secret or de-
'stroying life with the concentrated ag-
ony Of MI the polsons.
The snake Is tolerably common in In
dia, being found in nearly every part
Of the peninsula.
Fortunately, however, for man, 1t Is
not. like the cobra. a house-frequenting
snake; for Its aggressive habits would
make It Infinitely more fatal to life
than Its dreaded relative.

to escape from man as the cobra will,
or fash Into concealment like the kori.
at, but keeps Its path against its hu.
man assailant, and. pitting Its IS inches
OF length against Its enemy's bulk,
challenges and provokes conflict.
A stroke with whip win cut It In
two, or a clod Of earth disable 1t but
such Is Its malignity that 1t will invite
attack by every device at Its command,
stalking Its own life on the mere chance
Of Its adversary coming within the lit
tie circle Of its power. AT most, the
radius Of this circle Is IL inches. with
In II, at any event, lies certain death,
and. on the bare hope Of hand or foot
trespnssing within Its reach, the echis
throws Its body into flgure-of-eight
coil. Then 1t attracts attention by
rubbing its loops together, which, from
the roughness of the scales, makes a
rustling. kissing sound. erects its head
In the center, and awaits attack.
1t Is said that no one. having once
encountered this terrible reptile, can
ever forget Its horrifying aspect when
thus aroused, Its eagerly aggressive
air, its restless coils, which, In constant
motion one over the other and rustling
ominously all the while, stealthily but
surely brings 1t nearer and nearer to
the object Of Its fury.

The fact was revealed at the Rhond-

q collisry village In Rhondda valley,
one Of the largest coffin industries In
the kingdom is carried on.
It was stated that these works,
which contain 25 machines, can turn
out 80 to 100 collins In six hours. In
America collins are now called cnskets.
Before the var collins were exported to
all parts Of the world. but naturally llt.
tie business is done in this direction
nowadays. Nevertheless, between 200
and 800 collins are turned out weekly.

SCENES LINGER YET
EVENTS ONE RECALLS FROM OLD
VOLUMES.
sy No Means Always the Most impor.
tant Things Recorded That Remain
ln the Memory After .
Lapse Of Time.

There Is q peculiar pleasure In striv-
Ing to remember something Of books
enjoyed years ago. and never read
again. It happened with us, and may
with most people. that In many In
stances one or two scenes, one or two
gestures, starting out Of sort Of fog,
stand for the whole book. There are
numerous fogs and each one has Its
own quality.
All that 10 left to rs OF "Rob Roy"
Don Marquis writes In the New York
Sun. Its woman with broadsword In
her hand who stands upon rocky way
that overhangs lake and screams
forth vehement command. Someone,
we believe. Is about to be cast over the
precipice ut this furious lady's order.
The earth round about Is reddish
brown and overhead the clouds are
moving rapidly.
"Bleak House" is woman VINO clings
to an iron gate and peers through its
bars. And We have also some faint rec
objection Of an echo that was like the
footstep Of a sentinel ghost. The fog
from which energies the woman at the
Iron gate Is more than fog; 1t is black
vapor--inky black.
We cannot see the heroine of Lorna
Doone' at all. but we still know how,
John Ridd felt when he nil but
drowned In swirllng, Icy pool; we can
still see him rs he bends over and tries
to catch little fish with his fingers In
the cold brook just before he falls into
the pool. The pale glitter Of faint
sun upon shaken drops Of water and
sense Of much snow and rain generally
are our only other impressions Of the
book.
'Tom Sawyer" Is a boy gropIng and
fearing in cave; Of Toms humorous
pranks we remember nothing. .Huckle-'
berry Finn" we almost Know BY heart, Z
but then we have read It a dozen
times.
In "Toilers of the. Sea-" where the
man Is seized by the devilfish as he
himself Is hunting crabs to eat, Hugo
elaborately builds up a scene which Is
the epit0me Of the whole tremendous
book apd the symbol of the gaunt eter-
nal struggle between man and nature
(animate and inanimate) which the
book dramatlzes. And yet for all Hu-
COS craft and power, that scene thrills
rs less-speaks less stirringly to our
blood and nerves--than one Incident
Of far less significance In tho same vol
ume.
This incident, which stirs us more,
deals merely with the murder Of
guard on the edge Of elf that over
looks the sea. It Is thing that In no
wise touches the moral bones Of the
story; It Is not essential to the struc-
lure Of the tale as n tale; another de-
vice might have been used II Hugo had
not evidently fancied this one for his |
Dwn sake. But II gets itself remem-
5ered. The devilflsh scene, informed !
though It Is of the essential spirit Of
he book expressed In the terms Of ply
sical conflict, will have left us long be-
lore we forget the coastguardsman's
murder. :

Many Missouri Farms Need

Limestone soils have lost go much

iiy.
Practically all the soils Of the
prairie region Of northeast Mis-
souri are quite sour. In the
northwestern part Of the state
there is much less acidity. In
the Ozark region coils derived
from limestone have been leach
ed until they have become very
acid. The regions.known as the
post oak flats are the worst in
this respect. There are also soils
in the Missouri and Mississippi
River bottoms that are sour.
Not all crops are injured by an
acid soil, but unfortunately most
important cereals and forage
crops, especially clovers and NJ.
falfa, cannot be grown success
fully on a very acid soil. Acid
ity is indicated by the failure OF
these crops and by luxuriant
growth OF red sorrel, Canada
blue grass and water grass.
To sweeten an acid soil, suf.
icient ''amount Of finely ground
limestone or Stacked lime must
De scattered evenly over the
,lowed ground and worked into
he top soil. Ground limestone
s usually the cheapest and most
satisfactory in general, though II

ases where hauling from ths
