Depreciation.

And how about depreciation? Does your accounting department consider 1t cost? It is just as much of cost as the coal you burn under your boil CTS. Your plant and machinery is be- ing used up in operation. It has been estimated that one-half the corpora tions in this country provide for de- preciation arbitrarily at the end of the fiscal year. Large profts-liberal de- preciation Small profits-no deprecia- tion! Who would be bold enough to say that coal used during the year was not a cost unless large profits were made? Coal used disappears a tangible evidence of lost value-but the used machine, although it has also lost in value, still remains on hand, much the same as when purchased, and it's depreciation is ignored because it cannot be visualized.

Above Analysis.

Women wish to be loved without a why or a wherefore not because they are pretty or good, or we'll bred, or graceful, or intelligent, but because they are themselves. All analysis seems to them to imply a loss of con- sideratiOn, a subordination of their personality to something which dom- mates and measures it. They will have none of it; and their instinct is just. AS soon as we can give a req son for a feeling we are no longer under the spell of it; we weigh, we appreciate, we are free at least in principle. Love must always remain a fascination, a witchery, If the em- pfre of woman is to endure. Love must always seem to us indivisible, insoluble, superior to all analysis, if it is to preserve that appearance of infinity, of something supernatural and miraculous which makes its chief beauty.-Amel.

Lake Abitibl.

Abitibi is an old Indian name, ard yet comparatively new to most Cana dians. The building of the Transcon- tinental railway made 1t known to people outside the comparatively small groups always interested in the Northland. Lake Abitibi lies about due north of Lake Timiskaming on the boundary between Quebec and On tario. The name means halfway across water" due to the situation of the lake, which is about half way be- tween Timiskaming and James, bay on the old route followed by the voyagers of the Hudson's Bay company. A few years ago all the region about Lake Abitibi was a wilderness; today 1t contains a fiourishing colony of French-Canadians, who are carving farms out of the wilderness and turn ing the timber into lumber and pulp wood.

Suspicious of Clever Women.

"Clever women are looked upon with suspicion, especially by the pious. It is wicked to be clever. That is why so many people write be good, sweet maid, and let who can be clever in au- tograph albums; they flatter them selves that there is a real, if hidden, affinity between virtue and stupidity. And in truth there is is something to be said in favor of the position. The angels are all, don't you think, rather stupid? So were ever so many of the saints. And some of them, I believe, were dirty-I mean the saints. Angels things are always we'll laundered, al- though everybody knows, since some ar- tist or other treated his wife badly, that soiled linen drapes ever so much bet ter.

The birds nests 9ccm which the far famed Chinese soup .s made are built by species of swallow that abounds on the coasts O: Java, Ceylon and Bor- neo, and consists of gelatinous sub- stance obtained from marine plants. The nests are boiled either in chicken broth or in milk of almonds, and the result very much resembles vermicell soup, except that 1t is far more costly.

ARIZONA CATTLE
 COMPANY DEFUNCT

William NJ. Massie has been ap- pointed receiver for La Osa Land X Cattle company on the application to the superior court of creditors sched- uling liabilities of nearly half mill lion dollars. Of this indebtedness $275,000 is a note due to Merchants National Bank of St. Paul, Minn.; $S0,307 is a note to the North Texas Trust company. Numerous smaller items of indebtedness brings the total to more than S400,000.
 The assets of the company consist of 11,000 head of cattle and range properties and right in Pima and San ta Cruz counties extending from near Tucson to the Mexican boundary. The application for receiver alleges that proper conduct of the business affairs of the company and proper care of its cattle through the winter will re-es- tablish the company as a going con- cern.

IT WOULD SEEM so.

One of the first things the new leg islature should do when it assemblies is to appoint non-partisan commit tee from it's membership to readjust the salaries of the several state off cers, and members of the supreme court, and put the positions on de. cent financial basis that will attract competent men to seek the places. The governor of the state should re- ceive at least $10,000 year, and other state officers should be poid not less than $5000. The salaries of the su- preme judges should not be less than $8,000, and it would not be out of pro- portion if they were paid $10,000 a year. The salaries of our supreme judges ought at least totbe equal to the ordinary private practice of good lawyer, so that an attorney would not be called upon to make financial sacrifice to accept a position on the supreme bench. The state can afford to pay a decent wage to it's servants, and not expect them to accept half their emoluments in glory and honor of the job.-Winslow Mail.

FREE LEGAL HELP TO RETURNING SOLDIERS

Pointing out the greater necessity for legal aid to soldiers during and immediately following the demobiliza- tion period than when they were be- ing inducted into service, the National Council of Defense has wired the Ari- zont State Council of Defense asking that plans for the continuation of free legal aid for the men in service be made at once.
 As most of the people of the state are aware, the attorneys of the state have periodically given advice and assistance to men in the service from the time they were mustered in up to date. They have assisted in making out of questionnaires for the regis tered, have given legal assistance to the families of the men in the service and now they are asked to continue this fine practice for the men as they emerge from the military into civil life. There is no doubt but that the patriotic attorneys of the state will readily comply with this request and new call upon their legal skill.
 It the telegram to the Arizona State Council of Defense the national body points out that Adjutant Gen eral Harris of Washington, D. C., has requested the field division to ask the states to continue their legal aid com mittees to give free legal advice to returning soldiers under the civil re- lief act. The need for competent le- gal aid in the demobilization period is even greater than before, says the message, since the soldiers are pro- tected from litigation only so long as in the military service while the sol dier becomes a civilian in eyes of the law two months before he ceases to wear a uniform. For this reason prompt action is necessary to secure full protection under the civil relief act. "This legal protection is a duty the people owe the soldier" concludes the message from the National Coun- cil of Defense.

DRASTIC STEPS TAKEN
 AGAINST DESERTERS

More drastic steps than have yet been taken will be taken by the fed eral authorities to prevent desertion from the army and navy during the period of demobilization. This word has come to the Arizona State Coun- cil of Defense with the request that the state council and the several county councils aid in every way pos sible in discovering any deserters who may come to Arizona and to imme- diately report their presence to the national authorities.
 In particular is the Arizona State Council of Defense asked to see that the civil population understands that desertion at this time is a serious blow at the final morale of the army and navy, something which must be prevented so that the demobilization period may be just as orderly as has been the period of induction into ser vice.
 All cases of desertion and draft evasion will be followed up and pros ecuted now that the war is practically over just as though the war was still going on. The extreme penalty for desertion is death. The crime is re- garded as one of the most serious in the catalog of criminal acts and the penalties will be as strictly meted out now that the war is seemingly over as they would have been were the war prolonged. In fact, peace is not formally declared and the army and navy are still upon a war footing in every sense of the word.
 Families of soldiers and sailors are particularly urged not to do anything which would suggest to their members in the service that the war being over there is no need for further ser vice. All the soldiers and sailors not needed are to be returned as rapidly as circumstances will permit but this return to civil life must be conducted in an orderly fashion and with the same highly sustained morale which has characterized the American fight ing men from the start of hostilities.
 All civilians who have suspicion that men they know to have been in the service have deserted are request ed to notify the Arizona State Coun- cil of Defense or their county council if defense so that suitable investi- gation may be made by the proper authorities. Such information is re- garded as strictly confidential but will be promptly acted upon.
 This request for information covers also cases of draft evasion for there is to be no let up in the cases of men who have evaded their full duty un- der the draft laws of the United States.

STOCKMEN MUST PAY
 MORE FOR GRAZING

Secretary Houston, believing that further suspension of the increase in national forest grazing fees, first de- cided on in 1916, is no longer justi- fled, has announced new rates to go into effect March l, 1919. Effective at the same time, he has authorized the granting of five-year grazing per mits where the condition warrants and such permits are desired by the stockmen. This is of greatest inn portance to Southern California and Arizona.
 ''ln accordance with the conclusion reached by me on February l, 19l7," Secretary Houston has informed the stockmen through letters to their two national associations, "that the charge for grazing should be based upon the real value of the forage, l have de- cided that beginning March 1, 1919, the charge for grazing upon the na- tional forests during the year long period will be from so cents to $1.50 per head for cattle, varying with the advantages of the different ranges.
 "The rate for sheep and goats on each forest will be 25 per cent more than for cattle, and the rate for swine 25 per cent less. The proportionate charge for grazing during only a part of each year will be in accordance with the provisions of the national forest regulations"
 The original plan was to average grazing fees 8 1-3 per cent year for three years, beginning in 1917, but on account of the disturbed condi- tions which confronted the stockmen that year, there was only 25 per cent; while a year later the emergency sit uation created by the war led Secre- tary Houston to suspend temporarily the further carrying out of the plan.
 "I am not unmindful of the diff culties which still exist" he says, "but under the circumstances it seems un- wise to further defer action on this important problem"
