WHY WE MUST WIN THE WAR
Present Germany viii Domi-

"Mittel-E Europa is In existence to-
day." says Frederick Naumann, a
prominent member Of the reichstag.
He is right. Germany stands pos
,sessed Of all she hoped to gain when
she forced the war. She has reduced
her allies to military and economic de-
pendence. She dominates Belgium,
northern France, Poland, Russia, Ser
bia, Montenegro and Roumania. More
than 200, zoe people are under the
d~ictation Of Prussia.
If the war ends with conditions as
they are at present Germany's brutal
policy Of force will dominate the world.
Italy, France and Great Britain have
a combined population of 11S,000,0 600.
They are much smaller in area than
the Mittel-Europa empire would be,
dre detached from each other and con-
fined within narrow limits on the
south and west Of Europe. Neces-
sarily they would become second-class
powers.
The United States, practically alone,
would be left to face the aggression
Of q power with about twice the popu-
~lation, directed by autocratic rulers
toward further conquest.
The only way TO make ourselves
safe is to win the war.

First Fiction Known.

The Oldest work Of fiction extant
Is thought to be the Tale of Two Broth
ers," written 5000 years ago by the
Theban scribe EnLana, librarian Of the
palace of King Menepthah, the sup
posed Pharaoh Of the Exodus. The
tale, it appears, was written for the
entertainment of the crown prince,
who subsequently reigned as Seti ii.
His name appears in two places in the
manuscript, probably the only surviv-
ing autograph signature of an Egypt
ian king. This piece of antique fiction,
written on nineteen sheets of papyrus
in a bold hieratic hand, was purchased
in Italy by Nine. d'Orbiney, who sold
it In 1857 to the authorities Of the
British museum, where it is now
known as the D'Orbiney papyrus.

Alfalfa In New Zealand.

The raising Of lucerne OF alfalfa In
New Zealand Is receiving much atten-
ton of late, and the different varie-
ties are being tested, with the result
that there was cut during 1917 three
crops of Turkestan lucerne with O
total of 6 rs long tons rer acre of the
green lucerne, weighing shortly after
cutting liz tons of Peruvian per acre,
12A IONS Of Poitou, 11R tons of Rus
sian, II tons of Spanish, II 1-3. tons
Of Hungarian, ii tons Of P~atagonian,
and 14A tons of Marlborough lucerne,
1t is estimated that the Patagonian and
Marlborough lucerne, when converted
into hay, would give On approximate
yield of 3k tons each, which at $19.4e
per ton gives a total value Of $6S.13
per acre.

The Lucky Horseshoe.

When Lord French visited the little
county town of Oldham to inspect the
Rutland volunteers, he found time to
leave a horseshoe on the castle walls.
From time immemorial the lord Of
the manor has demanded a horseshoe
from every peer of the realm on his
first setting foot within the "lordship."
The custom is carefully kept up, and
the ever-increasing collection of horse
shoes which hang on the walls Of the
hall Of the castle numbers some 200,
ranging in size from that Of the ordi-
nary racer TO the Drobdingnagian pro-
portions of q shoe seven feet long

Treatment of Prisoners.

There is still talk In some quarters
Of Wales of O German invasion. A
thousand years ago, however, inva-
sions were quite a common thing along
the Welsh shores. The Vikings came
and went pretty much as they pleased.
They burnt and massacred in a
way that would have delighted the Ger
mans. On one occasion they burnt
st. David's, and actually cooked and
ate the bishop-which, no doubt, de-
lighted the antichurch people of those
days. On the other hand, when the
Welsh caught a Viking they flayed him
alive and nailed his skin to the church
door. There was no softness with
prisoners such as is exhibited today.

MEXICAN MATCH A CURIOSITY
IL Made Of Short Piece Of Cotton
String, With Head at
Each End.

The Mexican friction match, from
our point Of view, is a curiosity. For
II thing, 1t is not made of wood, but
Is a short piece of cotton string. Sec
ondly, it has two heads.
There is an undeniable advantage
about a match with two heads. If one
Fails to light there is another in re-
serve. But the Mexican matches, to
do them justice, rarely go out. One
car strike them successfully in q fair
breeze.
This is because the cotton string is
coated with wax. In Mexico there are
factories in which such matches are
turned out by ingenious machines, but
billions of them are made by hand in
laborious fashion, the strings being
tipped with phosphorus composition
by girls and boys whose wages are a
few cents q day.
One match in Mexico is really two
matches. Thus, when the native starts
a fire or lights a cigarette with a fresh
one, he tucks the string back into his
pocket for use next time.

Lady Robert Sheffield Stuart quail

endeavor to adopt every new idea and
method that would make for better mer-

day we are still seeking ways to improve

CHAMBER WILL
MEET DEFICIT.

At very important meeting OF thu
chamber of commerce yesterday after
noon the financing of the deficit OF
the State Fair of 1916 and guarantees
for the purses for the 1917 fair were
discussed. The support of Maricopa
county has always been liberal and
within the past few years new methods
of helping the state fair have been de-
vised by the chamber. The board of
supervisors has appropriated liberal
ums for the fair each year. For past
deficiencies the county appropriated
$4,000 and early last year the business
men through the chamber of commerce
interested the city commission and OBJ
tanned an official subscription of s3,5O0
for state fair bills. For the 1917 fair
additional purses were offered by bust
ness men and merchants and others in
interested. At the meeting 4 special
committee was appointed TO confer
with the officials on all fair matters.
The committee appointed is as follows;
