Ne,Us of Interest Gathered Here and There in tue State
ARIZONA CAN PRODUCE
 A VARIETY OF FRUITS

Arizona must awaken to its pos abilities in fruit culture.
 Pecans will grow here commercial ly; that already is demonstrated in Graham county.
 Speaking of apples, Arizona, espe- cially in her mountain wales and the northern and eastern counties, could produce apples on a commercial ba- sis.
 We have not even half imagined the possibilities of the grape. Dili- gent, painstaking efforts will, we hope, in time prove our sunny climate equal to any in vine culture.
 The Muscadine variety, while not so good for eating fresh, is superior for preserving, jelly-making and for canning.
 While Arizona is new in the busi- ness, her newness is strictly in her favor, as virgin soil and clan condi- tion are ideal for the experiment and production of improved varieties.
 As to citrus fruits, we have but few competitors. Florida produces a superior grapefruit, but her oranges would only pass as culls with ours.
 Let us get busy and develop the fruit industry to a higher perfection in our state.-Ex.

BREWING COMPANY WILL
 MANUFACTURE SOFT DRINKS

The large and modern plant of the Arizona Brewing Company in Pres colt, which closed down when prohi- bition became effective in this state, January l, 1915, is to be in action in a short time, but not in the original business. It will be converted into an ice-making, soft drink manufacturing establishment, and other purposes of a kindred nature. 1t is also quite probable that near-beer and other re- stricted drinks which come within the alcoholic scope in percentage, allow ed under the law, will later be taken up as line of beverages to be made, but this latter question is to be defi- nitely determined in the future Prescott Journal-Miner.

 The railroad company is also put ting in new steel in Crozier canyon and working several hundred whites, Indians and Mexicans on the job.-- Kingman Miner.

Arizona has five thousand square miles of coal land but not a mine is working. Roosevelt withdrew the last of these from entry and Woodrow Wilson has not reinstated the fields. This field is as good and probably as extensive as the one around Gallup, New Mexico, from whence all our coal is hauled. Our coal lands should be opened for entry without delay.- Exchange.

U. OF A. WELL EQUIPPED.

At recent meeting of the faculty of the University of Arizona, attend ed by Ben Johnson, representing the federal department of vocational education, survey of all the facilities of the university was made and it was determined that the institution, with its present equipment, could care for 800 men in its laboratories and class rooms instructing them for the engineering trades. While some ad- ditional housing facilities would have to be provided, suitable barracks could be erected on the campus at such small cost as to be inconsidera- ble.

Johnny Chuck was stiff and sore. 1t
Johnny sat on his doorstep and he
was In anything but happy state Of

rate wound made by the teeth of
Reddy Fox had a separate and dis
tinct ache. No one who aches all over
can be in a very happy state of mind.
Then. too. Johnny was nervous. He
kept turning his head every two or
three minutes to make sure that all
was safe behind him. That stone
wall which had seemed such a splen-
did protection when he built his
house in the corner of II now seemed
a constant danger. Johnny imagined
he heard enemies creeping up on the
other side of It. He expected to see
the head of Reddy Fox or Mrs. Reddy
hob up over the top Of thst wall any
minute. No one as nervous as that
can be in a very happy frame of mind
Also Johnny was beginning to be
quite honest with himself and to ad-
NIT that he wished he never had
thought of leaving his fine home In
the far corner Of the Old Orchard. He
wished he was back there. He knew
now that it was the very best place
in all the Great World. At least 1t
was the very best place for him. But
he was still too obstinate to make up
his mind to go back there. II there
had been no one there he wouldn't
have minded. But Polly Chuck was
there and Johnny just couldn't make
up his mind to 60 back and confess
that he had been wrong in the first
place. OF course, no one feeling that
way could be in very happy frame
of mind.
of all was the fact that he was hun
