THE NEW YEAR

There's a new year coming, com.
ing,
Out of some beautiful sphere;
His baby eyes are bright
With hope and delight;
We welcome you. happy new year.
There's an old year going, going,
Away in the winter drear:
His beard is like snow,
And his footsteps are slow:
Goodbye to you, weary old year
There is always a new year com
ing;
There is always an old year to 60.
And never a tear,
Drops the happy new year.
AS he scatters his gifts in the
snow.

THE LITTLE KING
The Little Prince.

the fairies king who had no chill
dren. He was very old and very
unhappy because of this. His wife
was also unhappy, She was with
the ladies of the palace when an old
fairy came to her and said:
"You may have wish for you
are good queen"
Il wish | had a child as white as
snow and with rosy cheeks said
the queen.
The stork thought that he had
better he on his way to baby land.
There he found baby boy with red
rosy cheeks and as white as the
snow, When the queen was asleep
the stork brought the baby. When
she aWoke she was very happy.
The king was also very happy.
They named the baby Prince Will
lam.
The Little King.
Soon the old king died and the
little prince was crowned king
although he was only 6 months old.
When the little king was year old
his mother died and he was left 10
rule alone. His regents helped him.
Very few people were dissatisfied
with the King.
One of the dukes who would have
been an heir to the throne if the
king had left no children laid claim
to the throne. There was a great
hnf hut hn In
king still held the throne. The
duke at last gave it up because
the little kings forces were too
strong for him.
The Kind Uncle Of the Little King.
The little king had a kind uncle
who held the throne for him. When
he was 6 years old his uncle de-
cided to send him to the Palace
school. All of the children of the
Palace were there. When the little
king came in they all bowed low
except the duke who tried to get
the throne. The duke and his
mother were thrown in prison.
They were so lonesome that they
wished they had not tried to get the
throne.
The Little King Finds the Fairies.
The little king was now nine
years old and he decided to go and
find the fairies. On his way he
came 70 the patl. Of fairy. He fol-
lowed the path until he came to
the Palace of the Fairy Queen. He
told the fairies that he was the
king of the lard and asked to see
the Fairy Queen. The Queen grant
ed him five wishes. He wished for
a beautiful girl for his wife, that
no one could harm him, that he
could keep his throne, and that he
would have one child. He decided
not to wish the other wish until
he should need it.
The Little King in Trouble and His
Other Wish.
The little king was now twelve
years old. There was large battle
fought This was the sixth battle
since the little king was born. In
this battle the little king was cap
tured. He remembered that he still
had another wish. He wished that
no one could capture him.
ut is the command of the FAIRIES
that you should be set free. You
are q good little king" said his
enemies.
The little king went home happy.

MORE NEED FOR

NOW THAN EVER

The conservation of meats, fats,
wheat and sugar is of far more vital
Importance at this time than ever be-

VERDE CO NIB.
CUTS CONTACT

JEROME, Jan. 19.-That long-sought
porphyry contact at the Verde Combi-
nation was cut last night.
Instead of being 80 feet north of
the shaft on the 600-foot level, as it is
at the tunnel level, 375 feet above, it
is $50 feet away But it trends from
northeast to southwest, like all the
main formations in this region.
Between the schist and porphyry is
two feet of white quartz carrying a
little chalcoprite.
I'VE now have every single indica-
ton at the Combination that we had
at the United Verde Extension before
the big strike was made there" stated
Manager Dave Morgan today. "There
the ore lies between porphyry and
porphyry or between porphyry and
schist. The striking of this schist-
porphyry contact makes the Combina-
ton look a great deal better to me
than it ever looked before.
THAT the quartz on the contact is
not ore does not mean anything. We
followed quartz like that 710 feet at
the Extension before we hit ore."
The north crosscut is being extend
ed on into the porphyry In all prob
ability drifts will be started both ways
on the contact tomorrow.
On the surface of the Combination
ground the porphyry contact is trace
able for 5000 feet, the full length of
two claims. At the tunnel level the
porphyry is 80 feet wide By pecu-
liar coincidence, it's south contact is
80 feet from the shaft at the tunnel
level.
Though it was realized that the por-
phyry might have Strengthened up or
flattened out, it was expected it would
be hit about 80 feet from the 600-fodt
station. When it was not found there,
Manager Morgan was not alarmed.
But when the crosscut was continued
more than 200 feet beyond the point
where he had hoped to find the con-
tact, he came to the conclusion that
the porphyry must simply have broken
away from the body farther up the
hill and did not go down. Neverthe.
less, he kept ahead, and his persist
ence has at last been regarded.
Four other headings are being
driven on the Combination 600 level.
They are showing good indications and
frequently they disclose small punches
of good ore.
With the speed that is being made
In developing the Combination, it will
not take long to chase down all the
indications and find the point of con.
lcentration, if one there is.

Claiming that the State Tax Com
mission exceeded it's authority when
1t levied tax rate sufficient to raise
$500,OO0 for the state school fund in
1915, the Arizona Eastern Railroad
company has filed suit in the superior
court of Graham county against the
county to recover taxes paid under
protest in the sum of $2,180.84. The
company claims that no authority ex-
listed in 1915 for levying more than
100000 for the school fund.

the country yesterday from Moultrie. Ga We are
indebted to the Washington Times for the news
that H. s. Fairfax, Colqutt County poultry raiser,
has rooster who thinks it is hen and for two
weeks has been faithfully setting on three eggs.
Only by the dissemination of useful information
is newspaper made great. Here is an item that
the editor safeguarded with the heading Doesn't
Sound Reasonable" This faithful old rooster, had
it been Matched human, would probably now be

with the other male hens who are Matching trouble

We are more deeply concerned about the actual
result of Mr. Roosters vigil II by freak of ma

We are inclined to the belief that they would have

The more we dwell on the important item OF
news the more impressed are that there is a
germ of real usefulness in it. If an aged and de-
crepit rooster fool itself and editor in this
way is there not possibility that some of our
male hens may be employed to advantage in the
