LEANED TO NEWSPAPER WORK
Andrew Carnegie's Early Ambition
Was to Be Great Editor-Burns
Resisted Lure of journalism.

Andrew Carnegie in his early days
mad an ambition to enter the newspa-
per business, but when he failed to OBJ
tain a position on the Pittsburgh Dis
patch, he turned his talents in other
directions and finally became America s
leading iron and steel manufacturer.
Robert Burns, on the other hand,
spurned efforts to induce him to go in
to journalism and thus made the way
clear for his becoming the most be-
loved of Scottish bards. These points
were brought out in an address given
by William Will, president of the Lon
don Burns club.
The first attempt to get Burns in the
newspaper line was when Peter Stuart
of the London Morning Post started the
Star. Burns declined to give active
assistance in turning out the paper, al
though he occasionally contributed ar
ticles. Later James Perry, proprietor
OF the London Morning Chronicle, Of
fered Burns f5 week to join the staff.
Burns refused the offer on the plea
that his duties as an excise officer
would prevent him from attending to
the work. Nothing ever resulted, Ell
therS from the suggestions that Burns
write three-act comic opera.

DEFENDS LOWER BIRTH-RATE
Writer in Leading Scottish Publication
Sees No Cause for Alarm in
Its Continuance.

This Is the rule of evolution-fewer
offspring, a longer period Of infancy,
and more careful parental care. Wher-
ever one looks in the animal kingdom
he finds that rule working, writer in
the Edinburgh Review points out.
Among fishes, species that exhibit
no sort Of parental care, the average
of 40 gives 100000 eggs to a female
each year; while among those which
make nests or any apology for nests
the number is only. about 10000.
Coming down through human history
one finds the same law working.
Among savage or semicivilized peoples
the birthrate is very high, as is also
the deathrate through enemies and dis
ease. But, as fast as civilization makes
its influence felt, the result is seen in
a lowered birthrate, accompanied by
better care of the fewer children who
are born.
Havelock Ellis recently pointed out
that the nations in Europe which were
most ready and eager for war-Ger-
many, Russia, Serbia, Austria-are the
countries of highest birthrate, and
hence Of greatest economic pressure.
And he adds: "Those who would seek
to restore the birthrate of half a GEN.
fury ago are engaged in a task which
would be criminal If it were not based
on ignorance and which is many case
fatuous."

CRUELTY NOT FEMININE VICE
ThoughtIessness at the Door OF
the Entire Sex.

An official of the New York Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ami
mails complains of "cruel women who
come to the meetings of the society
wearing aigrettes Of the plumage of
birds that are obtained by the slaugh-
ter of the mother bird and the starva-
ton of the brood"
On this solid foundation of fact one
might feel secure in concluding that
women are, as a sex, more cruel than
men.
All eyes have seen the women with
the bird on her hat. She wears this
particular badge of her cruelty where
1T cannot escape being seen and for the
sole reason that it may be seen.
But is it not unfair to condemn wom-
en- as utterly cruel because of this one
fault? After all, it is not so much a
fault as frailty. Women's vanity is
an overpowering passion, and If they
must feed 1t upon the plumage Of
slaughtered birds, are they any worse
than men who glut their greed upon
the fruits Of others life-crushing toll ?
Cruelty is really very infrequent
vice among women. Even bird-wearing
is far from being universal among
them. 1t is impossible not to remem-
Der that the whole structure of the
movement on behalf of humanity to all
creatures which has reached greater
proportions in this country than in any
other, is founded in the first instance
on the tender-heartedness of American
women. 1t would be interesting to
know how for the S. P. G. A. movement
would ever have progressed but for
the inspiration and enthusiasm that
have come from women.-Christian
Herald.

Knitting, Revived Art.

Knitting, as a handicraft, almost
universal among our grandmothers,
and now being revived by women all
over the world, received its death
blow from the invention of Isaac Wiz
an Lamb, who was born in Salem,
Mich.,- about IS years ago.
Lambs invention of the knitting
machine, the first perfected apparat-
us of it's kind, transformed the art of
knitting from home occupation to a
great manufacturing industry. His
machine is capable of producing more
than 30 varieties of knit goods and
makes 1000 loops minute at ordi-
nary speed, turning cut both fiat and
tubular work. Later inventors have
worked Improvements in the process.
AS one result of the war knitting
needles are again in vogue, and their:
click may now be heard in the homes,
in the theaters, in the street cars and
every other place. In all probability,
however. home knitting will pass with
the years.

CRACKING Palm Nuts.

In Central America ten tons Of palm
luts an hour are cracked by machine
including fast revolving drum-wheel
into which the nuts are fed from hop
per. A force Of 1900 pounds is re-
quired to crack the half-inch shells, but
the drum-wheel, making 800 revolu-
lions per minute, skaters each one in
to several pieces by hurting it two feet
on a tangent against the breaker blocks
continuously lining the inner surface of
the main drum shaped casting. The
wheel rotates on vertical spindle.
The blocks defect the fragments down
ward into a discharge pipe, and air
from blowers separates the shells from
the useful portion of the nuts.

WHY WASTE ONES LlFETIME7
After All, as Lincoln Said, the World
Will Little Know Nor Long
Remember.

In an article In the American Maya
zine one man says to another who was
very sensitive and worried great
deal:
Exactly he grunted. "A few years
ago they were live men like you and
me. They grew up and did their bust
pess and loved and married and died.
Some Of them passed happily along
their way, believing the best of their
fellows, doing their jobs whole heart
eddy and well, spreading bit of sun
shine among the folks they came in
contact with. extracting every drop of
sweetness from every single day. And
others went through, wrapped up in
side their own little selves, envying
their neighbors, fancying themselves
abused, worrying over trifes, always
on the lookout for Sights, spelling a
full so per cent of their days through
their own pettiness. And few days
pass, and they all are laid out here to-
gether, the men who laughed their way
through life and made others laugh a
little more. and the men who gnawed
their hearts out. All lying side by
side, never to liveagain.
"'Think of the things that those
dead men worried about. What do
they amount to now? Think of the
good luck that they envied in other fell
lows. Who in the world remembers
it? They had one little lifetime to live,
and they spoiled it by over-sensitive-
ness and jealousy. Doesn't 1t strike
you as an awfully foolish way to waste
a lifetime, when it's the only lifetime
that you will ever have?"

Proper Care of Pet Fish.

Fish are not hard to raise. The
greatest danger to which they are
subjected in disease is the fungous
growth that attacks the fins and tail.
This can be detected by the dropping
off Of bits of the fms and tail, and
by the tiny red streaks that mark the
part that remains. To treat, give the
fish bath in a strong solution of salt
water, letting him remain in this un-
til he fiops over on his side. Repeat in
the course Of day or two until the
growth is checked. For more severe
cases, a weak solution of permangan-
ate Of potassium is used. Allow the
fish to lie in this a minute or two,
then replace in fresh water.-Kansas
City Star.

Goldsmith a Poor Physician.

There is long list of men distin-
guished in various spheres of life, who
began their careers in medicine. One
of the most striking examples is that
of DR.. Oliver Goldsmith, though no.
body knows him by that title today.
AS a medical man the creator of 'sThe
Vicar Of Wakefield" was held in such
low repute that his appointment as a
physician to the East India company
was revoked before he got the chance
to tamper with any ones ailments,
says the New York Telegraph. Even
when he presented himself at Sur
geons' hall as an applicant for the
humble position Of mate in naval
hospital he failed to pass the exam
tnation.

DO NOT WASTE MILK.

AS a matter of conservation and to
encourage the dairy industry of Arizo-
ma the Food Administration is encour-
aging the use of milk as a substantial
article of diet
There is an abundance of milk at
this season of the year, it is pointed
out, and not drop of it should be
wasted. 1t should be made into cot
tage cheese. Cottage cheese is as
much a food as beefsteak and is not
merely relish. Here is one way to
make it:
Heat one quart of sour milk to 100
degrees, (luke warm) and turn into
strainer lined with cheesecloth. Pour
over one quart hot water, and as soon
as water has drained through, pour
over another quart, then repeat.
Gather cheesecloth around curd to
form bag, and let hang until curd is
free from whey Moisten with melted
butter and heavy cream, and salt to
suit taste. Shape into small balls.

POTATOES VS.. WHEAT

Wheat is needed for the front line
over there Let Arizona potatoes
serve as the home guard over here, /"
says Timothy A. Riordan, federal food
administrator for Arizona
Potatoes were called to the colors
year ago. The result was a bumper
crop, some of which is still on our
hands.
Potatoes grown through patriotism
should be eaten through patriotism.
They will go to waste If they are not
eaten within the next few weeks.
Some hotels are adopting the plan
Of serving free potatoes if no wheat
bread is ordered. There are almost
fifty ways in which you can use them.
'Housekeepers will find potatoes,
rice and hominy the dependables as a
substitute for bread in the less
bread program that must be rigorous
ly followed from now until next har-
vest"

TO KEEP CORN MEAL.

w. E. Doty, a Miami baker, is au-
thority for the statement that no
housewife should experience the
slightest difficulty in keeping corn
meal or milo maize meal on hand dur
ing the summer, even throughout the
hottest weather without contamination
by weevil if the proper precautions are
observed.
Meal in sacks, he says, should be set
on small platform to keep it off the
floor, and so arranged that there is an
air space on all sides. The outside of
the sack should be carefully busted at
least once week. In addition fresh
hops should be sprinkled around the
sacks. These hops grow wild in many
portions of Arizona.
This is a method which Mr.. Doty
has followed in his bakery and which
can be adapted by any housewife to
meet her needs. Meal placed in open
bins does not keep so well. 1t has
more of a chance to heat and the in
sect which lays the egg for the weevil
has a better opportunity to get into
the meal than when it is contained
in a cotton bag.

In the call for special session
of the Arizona legislature we
note suggestion for re-imbursing
Gov. Campbell for serving the
state while Hunt was trying to
legalize a bunch of drunken sot
voters in Douglas No. l. If Hunt
is in earnest about the suggestion
and really wants to save the tax
payers of the state some money,
he will turn over to Gov. Camp
bell the money belonging to him.
If Hunt had wanted to be honest
about that Supreme court decision
he would have turned the money
over to Campbell Immediately
after receiving tit didn't be-
long to him Campbell h d

EDITORIAL

President Wilson has come out
very plainly in opposition to the
so called Court Martial Bill, :"
which was introduced by Sen.
Chamberlain. Mr.. Chamberlain
is the senator who brought down
upon his head the Presidents S
rebuke for the investigation Of
the War Department. The
Court Martial Bill" will never
pass. We will continue to intern
pro-Germans, spies and all per-
sons charged with acts of sedi-
ton, feed them we'll, pay them
for whatever work they may do,
all for safe-keeping till the war
is over. In the mean time, watch
the daily papers for lynchings,
tar and feather parties, which
attest the feelings of our country
men, recognizing the outrage Of
inability to enact adequate laws
to protect our own United States
from the propaganda of German
kaiserism.

WHEAT-SAVING POPULAR.

A wonderful response has attended
the housewives of Arizona to forego
the use of wheat in any form until the
next harvest. This is in keeping with
the purely voluntary patriotic move
ment which is sweeping the country,
especially in rural sections and in the
homes of the well-to-do everywhere.
Under the leadership of Miss Gun
nellie Peterson of Tempe, state chair
man of the Women's War Committee,
and Mrs. Mary Pritner Lockwood,
state home economics director of the
Food Administration, the women of
the state are being organized for the
purpose of taking up a course of six
lessons on food conservation in the
home, with especial emphasis to the
use of substitutes for wheat flour
This work is already we'll under way
in Maricopa county, where some 63
units have been established. Church
organizations have taken up the work,
and with the assistance of domestic
it is planned to offer the course to the
residents of every school district in
the county.
Much interest has been manifested
in the no-wheat bread contest which
closed April 25. The recipes entered
in this contest have been turned over
to a committee of experts in home
economics who will decide the winner
of the $25 prize which was offered by
a member of the executive staff of the
Federal Food Administration for Ari-
zona.
1t is believed that many valuable
formulas for no-wheat and near-wheat-
less yeast bread have been gathered
in this manner and it is planned to
give these wide distribution through
out the state to housewives interested.
The Snowflake herald., 1918-05-03

A spy is a cold blooded murd-
erer with premeditation in his
heart as deep as the bottomless
pit of hell and a pro-German is
an accessory to the crime-both
should be shot thru and thru.
The Congress of the United
States appears powerless to en-
act laws that will legalize the
proper determination Of spies
and pro-Germans and the very
fact that Congress will not or
can not enact the necessary laws
is the direct cause of mob vio-
lence and lynchings. With this
in view we are extremenly disap-
pointed in the Administration S
opposition to the Court Martial
Bill, that would have legalized
the proper determination of spies,
pro-Germans, |. w. WIS. and all
enemies of our government.
