iors sfine ago in the time Of
!, ..rrYMan, a mortai maiden fell IN
love with norman and they were
married. They lived in a cave at
the bottom OF the sea and were
very happy with their family OF
children.
But one Easter morning the wife
,, came to the top of the sea. Here
she heard the church bells ringing.
When the sound of the far of
church bells came down into the
sea she became sad for. she
thought of her kinsfolk praying
in the little gray church on the
hill. She told her husband that
she must go too, and pray. with
her kinsfOlk and she sighed as she
thought of her lost soul; for one
mast lose his soul il he marries
norman or mermaiden. Her hus-
band pitied her and said: Go up
dear heart through the waves. Say
thy prayer and come back again
to the kind caves"
She WAS gone SO long that the
children began to cry and moan, so
the father said: What long pray
ers they must have on earth! Come
children, let us go TO the church
and CALL"
They went and saw her They
called "Mother!" Margaret but
her eyes seemed sealed to the
Holy Book and she did not heed
them.
The mother would not listen to
either her children or her hus-
band so the father told his child
rem to go back to the sea.
The mother tried to be happy in
the world but could not. She Of
ten thought of her little merchild-
rem down in the sea home and
when the waves beat against the
banks she could hear their voices
in the water singing:
There dwells loved one,
But faithless was she,
She left forever the king
or the sea-"
When she married the norman
she really did lose her soul
for a mortal could never be hap
by forever in a sea home with a
norman, but when she came back
she didn't regain her soul for she
was still unhappy. She really, tru-
ly lost her soul.--COntTibuted by

WARNING ISSUED TO RETAIL MERCHANTS,

Following the receipt of nu- mer0us complaints from all parts of the state that the twenty per cent substitute rule is being ig- nOred by cerain dealers, the ac- tivities of field inspectors oper- ating in Arizona have been di- verted to investigating cases of this character.
 The new rules, announced in full in Arizona Food News No. 8, require, that with every four pounds of white standard flour shall be sold at the same time one pound of either corn meal, corn flour, barley flour, or at the option of the dealer any of the other official substitutes, a full and accurate list of which will be found elsewhere in this issue.
 A solemn warning is given by the federal food administrator that all firms who have neglected to follow the new regulations im- plicitly will be dealt with severely. All have received complete an- nouncement of the new substitute program, and ignorance of the law will not be considered an ex- cuse.

COTTONSEED PRICES ADJUSTED AT PHOENIX.

As the outcome of conference held at Phoenix between cotton growers, buyers, feeders and a representative of the food administration the price of cotton seed was fixed at $63 a ton in wagon lots and $66 ton in car lots.
 This reduction Tn price from $67 and $70, was effected with the understand ing that cottonseed meal should sell at $51 and hulls at $10, a ton, thus being of material benefit to the feeding and dairy interests, as the price previous ly recommended by the food admins tration was $53 ton for meal and $20 ton for hulls.
 Millers are to repay to growers from whom they buy seed the amount received in excess of S10 for hulls and 171ac for oil.
 Based on the average results ob- tained last season by the two mills in Arizona crushing boil and block seed in the territory tributary to Phoenix, the yield was 43 gallons of oil, 1925 pounds of 36 percent protein meal, 800 pounds of hulls and 45 pounds of lint to the ton.
 These, therefore, should be the of- ficial yields for that quantity of seed in the Salt River valley.
 The prices on products as an- nounced by the food administration are as follows:
 1715c per pound for crude oil.
 S51 per ton for 36 per cent protien meal.
 s10 per ton for hulls.
 4.67c per pound for lint.
 The price of cottonseed for the Yuma district was established at the same figures as those for the Salt River valley.

ARIZONA FIRST STATE TO GO OVER TOP WITH
 FAIR PRICES PROGRAM

Arizona has gone over the top again. Through the federal food administra- tion for this state fair price interpret ing boards have been established in every county, and this state is the first to accomplish this feat of any in the union. In appreciation of this work the following letter has been written from the food administration at Washington:
 MT. T. A. Riordan,
 Federal Food Administrator,
 Flagstaff, Arizona. Dear Sir:
 It is with great pleasure that we write you to say that your state is the first in the United States to send us in a complete list of local price interpret ing committees covering every county in the state.
 We want to express our appreciation of this work and of your promptness in carrying out our request. Most of the states are coming on very nicely with this work and several are practi- cally covered, but, as stated above, Arizona is the first to be covered com pletely.
 Thanking you for continued cooper ation along this. line. we remain,
 Yours very truly,

WHAT NEFFICIENCY COSTS
 THE PEOPLE OF ARIZONA

The personal appeal for office and the greed for state salaries seem to come lover the top" first. The people "pay the freight" and ask for help from their real friends when they finally awaken to the facts in the case. The following article is just non- partisan showing of what is happening to the people of Arizona who are com pelled to "pay the freight" "All par tisans look alike when you have to pay zonaextra freight:
 "The enabling act under which Ari- zona was admitted to statehood con- tained several land grants from the public domain, in trust for specified purposes, among which was one mil lion acres for the payment of the bonds and accrued interest thereon of the validated and refunding bonds of the counties of Maricopa, Pima, Gin part Santa Cruz under county division laws), Yavapai and Coconino. Since statehood, these various counties have raised by taxation amounts necessary to pay the interest upon those bonds, which amounts to four and one-half per cent annually, and have raised as

ANOTHER GERMAN LIE IS NAILED.

Stories have been afloat lately, in spired perhaps by German propaganda ists, that clothing to be collected for the Commission for Relief in Belgium by the American Red Cross for dis tribution by the commission to the civilians in Belgium and the occupied regions of northern France will fall ultimately into German hands.
 The following telegram has been sent out by the Red Cross at its Washington headquarters:
 All clothing collected in Amer ica for Belgians is consigned 0f- flee Commission for Relief in Belgium, Rotterdam, placed in sealed barges and sent into Bel gium to neutral Holland Spanish Committee, which working under protection of Holland Spanish ministers in Brussels controls final distribution of this clothing to Belgian civilians and accounts to commission for every article clothing sent to it. Absolutely none of this clothing falls into German hands.

a sinking fund to repay the principal, at the rate of four per cent per an- mum, total which now aggregates the sum of $261 ,951.67 in the state treas ury for the latter purpose.
 "The question of vital importance to the counties named is that of why any amount at all is raised to pay the prin- cipal of these bonds, involving the why of such disposition of the one million acres of lands granted for the purpose, that before the maturity of the bonds which is twenty-five years from June, 1913, sufficient money will not be realized to pay that principal. The further question of why the proceeds of sales and rentals of these lands is not applied to the payment of current interest on the bonds, and thus elim- mate that amount from the tax rolls of the several counties.
 "As to the question of current inter- est on those county refunding bonds, the legislature of 1915 in the land code of that year covered it quite fully. It created a fund to be known as the County Bonds Land Fund" This fund was to consist of the proceeds of the

Lady for Justice of the Peace.

There is nothing ordinary about the people out at Grand Canyon and they are usually right up to date in all their doings. This year they intend to have lady justice of the peace in the person of Mrs. George Cotton, who re- gently signified her willingness to be a candidate on the Republican ticket for that office.
 Mrs. Cotton is well known in Flag staff, where she made her home for a number of years and where she has a host of friends who would be glad to

lands granted by the United States for payment of the bonds above re- ferred to. Speaking of that fund the legislature says:
 "'The money in said fund shall be devoted first, to the payment of the current interest on said bonds; second, to the reimbursement of the several counties for all interest accrued and paid thereon since date of issuance; third, to retire the bonds when due.'
 Speaking further upon the subject of payment of interest upon these bonds, the same law says:
 eff it shall appear, when the in- terest on said bonds or any part there of becomes due, that there is sufficient money in said fund, the state auditor is authorized and directed to draw his warrant thereon for the amount of said interest, or if there be not suf- ficient money in the said fund to pay the interest due, he shall draw his warrant or warrants for such sum as there is, and the state treasurer is hereby authorized and directed to pay the same; and that the boards of su- pervisors of the several counties obli- gated to pay such bonds, shall annual ly levy sufficient taxes NH NH MHH gated to pay such bonds, shall annual ly levy sufficient taxes tO pay such in- terest when due, until such time as the receipts of the said county bond fund becomes sufficient for said pur- pose
 up to date the receipts to that fund have been derived from sales of lands, and rentals. Up to July first last past, those rentals aggregated the sum of $107 ,538.16, and up to August 31st, increased to a net balance of $122,- 321.60. This amount alone would be sufficient to pay the interest upon the bonds for three years, even though the receipts during those three years fell off to nothing at all. In the fact of this situation the five counties are still levying for interest payments upon these bonds. Three of them are still levying taxes to pay into the sink ing fund for paymen of the principal of the bonds. Thus over fifty thousand dollars of taxes will be paid into the county treasuries this year for the purposes of those bonds, and become duplicate funds in respect to interest amounts therein, and entirely unneces- sary funds so far as that portion raised for sinking funds.
 "All together the sum of $384 ,273.29, lays in the state treasury to the credit of those bonds, and more money will be added thereof, all of which will be idle funds in the treasury. The idle feature connected with those amounts will not be eliminated by simply pay ing back to the counties the amount contributed thereto by each. There is no provision of law under which the counties can make those funds active for county purposes. If so returned to the counties the funds would still retain their idle feature so far as the taxpaying public is concerned.
 "In the process of levying taxes for the present year have progressed to such an extent that the rates levied in the several counties for interest and sinking fund to those bonds can not be stricken from the rolls, and the new tax money thus left in the pockets of the taxpayers for this year, the sit

BUTTER SALES IN POUND
 LOTS ONLY AFTER JANUARY l

The rule prohibiting manufacture or sale of butter in smaller units than pound prints has been amended to go into effect on January 1 1919, instead of September 15, 1918. The extension of time will prevent the waste of sup plies of printed paper and cartons al ready on hand.
 The rule is aimed chiefly at saving time and materials and when it goes into effect January l, sale of quarter and half-pound prints will be stopped. Retailers may, however, cut pound prints and sell any fraction demand ed by the purchaser.
