CURE FOR LITTLE AILMENTS
Real Trouble Can Usually Be Depend
ed On to Make One Forget
the Smaller Ones.

Man and animals alike, it's wonder
full what shock will do to heal our
errors and our weaknesses. The only
thing that ever stopped Uncle Bill in
an argument was a dishpan, or some
heavy, blunt instrument clouted over
his brow, and in his younger days he
was some argufer, as his scars attest.
Here is the case of the blind man In
San Rafael, CAL, who fell 40 feet off
the roof of his house, and found his
eyesight restored; Aunt Ellen, who
was bedridden for years, was the first
person to reach safety when the house
caught fire, and her bad hip has been
practically all right ever since; you
remember that crippled negro who
beat even the dogs home when the bear
charged out of the brush.
A lot of us have troubles that are
only in our minds; when we are fed a
little real trouble we forget the smaller
ones. There is, perhaps, an opening
for a sanitarium that will take a Grip
pie or an invalid and throw him off a
cliff, or crack him over the head with
q brick or crowbar-anything to wake
him up, make him forget his small
worries, and heal his diseased mind.

IDEAS CURIOUS AND POETIC
Remarkable Beliefs That Have Been
Firmly Ingrained Into the Chill
dren of Siam.

Mr.. Ernest Young, who went to Siam
to organize the educational system,
related at London recently some Gu
riOus beliefs held by the children there.
He explained that he had experienced
considerable difficulty in teaching them
the rudiments of science, They be-
lieved that the earth was fiat because
the priest had told them so. 1t was
also the impression of these children
that q big crab went down into the
sea and made the tide flow, and when
the crab came up for fresh air the
tide ebbed. When the gods became
angry rolling thunder was heard, and
when the angels got sporty and struck
fire out Of bricks, summer lightning
flashes were seen. When many angels
got into the bath at the same time
water ran over the side and it raiLed.
Directly Mr.. Young entered school
the children prostrated themselves be-
fore him, and the only way they could
be induced to abandon this practice
was to tell them that English children
did not do that. They would do any
thing English children were said to
do. They were awful liars, but when
told that the English boy was truthful
they gave up the habit.

July 24-'' Mormon Day"

July "a was "Pioneer Day"
with the Mormon people.
In Snowflake, as in all other
Mormon communities, the
day was fitingly observed in
memory of the arrival of
the Mormon people in Utah.
From a. small band of brave
hearted Christians has grown
a wonderfully prosperous
and happy people. Persecu-
ted at first, but now counted
and reckoned among the best
people of this or any other
land. Their honesty Of pur-
pose, thrift and industry has
won for them the admira-
tion of all good men and
women. Their star of hope
will never set!

HRecause-W

Jelly has been busy with riddles.
"Now!" she cried, and held up for pub
lie inspection the legend, "Why did
the orange ice cream?" printed in large
letters. Because it saw the sausage

Jelly, evidently bursting to declare It.
She was cordially urged to do so. "Be-
cause 1t saw the lemon sponge on the

umphantly. "Quite nice and COOL"
said Janet approvingly. ''The vista Of
possibilities you open up" murmured
Peter. "For instance, 1t might have
seen the banana trif1e with the maids
Of honor. Or the gooseberry fool with
the nuts from Brazil. All very pain
full to an orange Of really nice feeling.
But like your dumb waiter."-"Al1

Make Pets Of HornblIla.

The yellow hornbill, one Of the most
interesting Of the species, is a COM
paratively fearless bird and is easily
killed. The male is fond Of perching
on the tiptop Of tropical trees and
making noise like young puppy.
The natives in Africa find young
hornbills easily tanned. They dig the
birds out Of the tree nests when quite
syoung and raise them on milk and
berries In their huts. When grown
the hornbill remains attached to its
foster parents and will eat out Of the
same dishes. Left free, the hornbill
comes and goes much as does a pet
crow and remains about the hut un-
til the first mating season, when 1t
goes away with one Of its kind, rare
ly to return.

SIMPLE THINGS WORTH WHILE
Many Make Mistake of Thinking Hap
plness Comes Only From Material
or Outward Conditions.

Why should you care to be pestered
with large bank account or distressed
by a house full Of servants? asks the
Albuquerque Evening Herald, which
adds: Adam and Eve had neither Of
these and they called their place of
abode Paradise. Few people have
learned the secret of living well. Too
many think it depends almost wholly
on the condition of the pocketbOOk.
This is most certainly mistake. Hap
pineSs is not born of material or out
ward conditions. 1t Is largely the re-
suit of a purely mental process.
Amid the duller threads of duty 1t
is well to weave one bright strand
of desires-it is well to mix q little
sunshine with your daily food. You
can soften the sound of cab and car
in the stony street by calling to MEM
Ory a birds song heard In the fields
on a summer afternoon in childhood.
It is sweeter to your soul-if you have
one-than is the railroad that you own
yourself.
Take a day of and go out to some
cemetery where you may reflect on
the brevity of life and the INSULT
cheney of things pertaining to the pock-
etbook. 1t is better that you go be-
fore it comes your turn to ride out
there In the big plumed car that never
hauls its load back again. Don't wait
until you own your private automobile,
but go while you are able to walk and
to think. From the dead you may
learn much of life. Scan all the vir-
tues inscribed upon all the headstones
by loving hands-and among them all
you will not find recorded the posses
sion Of million dollars or a locked
tail horse or a brOwnstOne palace or q
12-cylinder car or handsome" ward
robe.
Mol The headstones usually tell
you only of those things worth while.

CNLY HUMAN BEINGS CRUEL
Proud Man the Sole Living Creature
Capable Of Deliberately InfHIctlno
Suffering on Others.

A cruel person is one who exults In
the pain, mental or bodily, suffered by
another. Cruelty has It's basis in anger
(and thus is related to the cOmbative
instinct), though there Is cold-bloOd-
ed form Of cruelty which may be en-
joyed without any Obtrusive feeling Of
anger, Henry Campbell writes in the
Lancet, London.
Cruelty, implying as 1t does self
consciousness-the ability to realize
the feelings Of others-is essentially a
human attribute. Children who I'M
pale frogs and eviscerate flies cannot
be said to be cruel, for they know not
what they do. Nor are the lower anil
mails cruel, seeing that they are wholly
unconscious Of the sufferingS of 9th
ers. Thus the charge of cruelty against
the carnivOra Is unjust. These animals
generally destroy their victims out
right and in the rare cases (e. G., cat
and mOuse) where they prOlOng the
suffering they have no knowledge Of
the pain they are causing. When,
therefore, we St1gmat1ze the cOnducC OF
the cruel man as brutal" we wrong
the brutes.
The animal which attacks another,
and in so doing causes pain, merely
responds to a blind, unthinking in
stinct; but man, proud man, who looks
before and after, is able to realize and
take Measure in the pain he deliber-
ately, and by subtle means maybe, sets
out to cause. 1t is clearly absurd to
speak Of his conduct as brutal.
Rather should we call it devilish. the
devil usually being credited with q
goodly share of intelligence. We must
cease to libel the brutes by designat-
ing the basest acts of man as brutal,
AS a matter of fact, they cannot be
charged with nOnmOral conduct, see
ing that they are devoid Of self-cOn-
sciousneSS.

Oriental statecraft.

The part which gesture plays In ORR
entail drama is set forth in a recent
Hindu volume, which says that there
is fitting gesture to represent every
emotion. The gesture, in fact, is de.
scribed as deaf-and-dumb alphabet OF
the soul. There are nine movements
OF the head, corresponding to nine emo
tionS, mentioned by one authority, "a
by another: q movements Of the sim
gle hands, and "a or 26 Of the double
hands, etc. also 'hands" denoting an
imals, trees, oceans, and other things.
For example. certain position OF the
hands denotes a certain emperor,
caste, or planet. The translator says
rather naively that only a cultivated
audience can appreciate Indian ''ac-
tors art

Chinese Canals.

At what period the Chinese began to
dig canals, there is no authentic rec.
ord to prove. Sometimes it seems as
If these remarkable people must al
ways have had canals and other works,
so long have they been familiar to
them and so well established have they
been as part of the country as the
men from the Occident first visited it.
One thinks of the Grand Canal of
China and the Great Wall of China to-
gether, although, Of course, they have
nothing whatever to do with each 9TH
er, except that they are both ancient
and remarkable works Of the Chinese
people.

In a Sad Predicament

Arizona Democrats are
sadly divided in their choice
for a candidate for govern
or. To emphasize the grav-
ity of their predicament we
can best illustrate by repeat
ing what a Snowflake Demo
crat said to us: "That if
Hunt or a Hunt Democrat
is not nominated and elected
governor anarchy will reign
in Arizona" This Demo-
cratic assertion is the strong
est kind of argumennt in
favor of electing, or we
should say, re-electing Tom
Campbell for governor. 1t
is a serious political situa-
tion when men have become
so hoodwinked by the seem
ing influence of one man to
the extent that not to elect
him or one of hischoice would
bring about anarchy in our
state. Such an assertion is
a damnable Indictment on
the intelligence and citizen
ship of Arizona. There is
but one way to rebuke such
and forever kill off Huntism
and that one way is to re-
elect Tom Campbell by such
an overwhelming mojority
that no court in the land will
dare count him out.

Is Politics AdjOurned-.SinCe
When and by Whom?

George Creel, chairman of
the Administrations COM
mittee on public information,
is now busily engaged in the
ardious task of explaining
how and why The New York
World was able to publish
Pres. Wilson's address to the
Mexican editors in advance
of all other newspapers in
the United States. Let it
be known right off the bat
that The New York World
is one, if not THE ONE fa-
vorite with Pres. Wilson,
and The World aspires to be
the official mouth-piece of
the Administration. NJ r.
Creel has it in his power to
say what and what not the
public must read during
these war times. His posi-
ton is a "War job" He is
an experienced newspaper
man. He is one the rubber
stamps" of the Administra-
tion. Being a newspaper
man of ability he is thoroly
capable of appreciating a
SCOOP" hence The New
York World was able to
scoop" all other papers Of
the United States on the
Presidents address to t h e
Mexican editors. And, we
wonder how in the name of
loyalty and patriotism what
benefit the publicis served by
giving one big newspaper a
scoop" on an important
news item? Why not sus-
pend all other newspapers
and allow The World a clear
and un-opposed field? When
and by whom was "politics
adjourned?"

The Winslow Mail says:
"Our old friend Os. Flake
has decided the country
would not be safe for democ-
racy unless he again occupies
a seat in the legislature, and
accordingly he has filed.
Aside from the insane asy-
lum we think the Arizona

edge, and for that reason
we are heartily in favor Of

BANKING
You're Confidence

Sound business principles
demand systematic and
methodical safe and sane
business management. No
one with sound business jud-
cement will knowingly place
his money in a bank without
first ascertaining the banks
stability and reputation.
1t requires extraordinary
care and more than ordinary
responsibility to handle 9TH
er peoples money. The
Bank of Northern Arizona
merits the confidence of the
people. We endeavor to
do a sound banking business
and this is why our patrons
have confidence in the secu-
rity of this Bank. We are
ever ready and willing to
extend help and accommoda-
tions consistent with sound
business principles.
