STUDY OF THE PAST

The chains of the mind are not brok- en by any form of ignorance. The
 chains of the mind are broken by un-
 derstanding. And so far as men are
 unduly enslaved by the past it is by understanding the past that they may hope to be freed. But, secondly, it is never really the past-the true past
 that ensalves us; it is always the pres
 ent. It is not the conventions of the
 seventeenth or eighteenth century that
 now make men convential. It is the conventions of our own age, though of course I would deny that in any age there are always fragments of the un-
 comprehended past still floating like dead things pretending to be- alive.
 What one always needs for freedom is some sort of escape from the thing that now holds him. A man who is the slave of theories must get outside them and see facts; man who is the slave of his own desires and prejudices must widen the range of his exper- fence and imagination. But the thing that enslaves us most, narrows the range of our thought, cramps our ca- pacities, and lowers our standards, is the mere present-the present that is all around us, accepted and taken for granted, as we in London accept the grit in the air and the dirt on our hands and faces. The material pres- ent, the thing that is omnipotent ov- CT us not because it is either good or evil, but just because it happens to be here, is the great jailer and imprisoner of mans mind; and the only true me- thod of escape from him is the con- of things that are not pres- ent. Of the future? Yes; but you cannot study the future. You can only make conjectures about it, and the will not be much good un-. ess you have 'fh some way studied i 'thar places and other ages. There aas bean hardly aay grsat forward

OcC. 9Cn, l9lS Surgeon General Bluey Washington, D. c.
 In view of the National Influenza epidemic l deem it my duty to inform you of simple, harmless remedy, that over a period of ten years, I have proven in many cases, without fail, to be an absolute cure and preventative of Tonsilitis, Quinsy and Diptheria and germ throat diseases, especially in the early stages and it's use will prove invaluable in present emergency. Treatment is easily demonstrated and harmless and will certainly help to stay crisis.
 Treatment consists of swabbing the throat freely, with fifty per cent solution, freshly prepared, of muriatic tincture of iron, using distilled water preferably. Full strength solution without dilution may be used in severe cases. Use treatment every four hours. Also take nasal douches with two percent solution of same.

GLOBE NEWSPAPER
 WINS LIBEL SUIT

The Globe Record was defendant i~ libel action recently, wherein the plaintiff alleged that he was damaged in the sum of $5,OOO and asked for that amount and the further sum S10,000 punitive damage. L. l.. Shank lin was the plaintiff in the action and the libel is alleged to have been pub lished in the Record of July 7, 1917. The jury returned a verdict in favor of the newspaper last Saturday, which would indicate that some men do not know the difference between real ad- vertising and libel.

A NOBLE AMERICAN PASSES
 TO THE GREAT BEYOND

Archbishop John Ireland, one of the grandest men of the Catholic church, was laid in final rest from St. Paups cathedral on the first of October wi::% one of the most imposing ceremonies ever witnessed in the New World. While he was a churchman in every sense of the word he was at the same time in heart and in soul an American. No greater tribute can be paid to q man in this trying time than to say that he was lover of his country and of his fellow man. His ideal of life was "T'were better for a man to live an hour and enrich the world with one great, inspiring thought and lie, tI:aH .o life a thousand years to duplicate the Egyptian Pyramids" The peopis cf Minneaotas without regard to creed, vied with each other in doing honor to his memory and thousands were un- able to enter tha great cathedral to ,ake part in the services. Archbis- hop Ireland was known throughout the world as one of the most loved of the prelates of the Catholic church, afd for his work for all mankind. The country has lost a noble citizen and he church man not replaceable.

CHROME ORE WANTED

The government is in need of chrome ore and the buyers of ore that will run in excess of 38 per cent oxide. Chronic oxide will pay SIPS per unit. It is possible that Arizona may pro- duce this metal, as it has practically all the metals somewhere within it's borders. There is considerable iron ore in this county, but so far there has been no supply of chrome found. The ore is usually easily mined, and if close to transportation should net good sum per ton.

LOCAL HUNTERS MAKE
 SUCCESSFUL TRIPS

H. G. Murphy and Ray A. Brun- dage journeyed to the country south of Seligman the latter part of last week and returned home Tuesday with a nice young buck. The deer was the result of a shot from the rifle of MT. Murphy and had it not been for a poor shell in the gun at the right time, MT. Brundage would have se- cured his buck. This last is MT. Brun- dage's personal statement as regards why he got away, but all of his friends say that he stood still on the bank of the little lake and pumped all of his shells out of the gun, under the i'm preston that he was killing deer all around him, but when he came to, he found that not single shell had been exploded. It's hard lines to have this occur, but all of the old time hunters telI us that this is a common occur renee; that all beginners have to pass the "buck fever" stage before he can hope to be able to see a deer through the sights and pull the trigger with intent to kill.

TO PETITION WAR BOARD
 TO LIFT INJUNCTIONS
 AGAINST PLACER MINES

Lew Aubrey, former state minera- lOgist of California, and who is we'll known in Mohave county, has been gathering data throughout the north ern California counties to present to the government in an effort to con- vince the federal government that the resumption of gravel mining is a nec- essary war measure. Gravel mining in California was discontinued after the famous debris" suits of twenty years ago, and the old time placers were allowed to become idle wastes. Only the small mines, capable of build ing brush dams in the streams to catch the drift, could be operated and get past the permanent injunctions that were granted the farmers in the val leys. Now, gold is necessary to the government and the farmer and if the War Board says yes, the injunctions go, and the mine owners may again start the big giants on their work of demolishing the big gravel hills and yielding up their store of the yellow metal.

Made 10000 Shark Hooks.

The government is going in for shark
fishing, but not as a sport, however. 1t
is going after this aquatic monster that
the skins of the sharks may be tanned
and used as a substitute for leather.
The experiment is now under way,
and the man who has given Uncle Sam
a leg over the fence, as it were, is J.
w. Fordham, a New London, Conn.,,
artisan, whose blacksmith shop is in
the vicinity of picturesque Shaw's
Cove. for in that little smithery 10000
shark hooks were made in three sizes
for the United States government.
Mr.. FOrdham signed the contract
and was allowed thirty days in which
TO complete the order. By keeping his
force working day and night he was
able to ship the entire consignment to
the government agents in New York
in little more than half the time called
for in the contract.-Marine News.

BLIND REPAIR WATCHES BEST
SightIess Men Known to Detect De-
fects That Other Tradesmen
Failed to Discover.

Blind people-those who have been
born blind-are, as is well known, eX-
ceedingly clever with their fingers, but
it is not often that one hears of a
matchmaker who was born blind, and
vet there have been instances of the
kind.
A famous blind matchmaker lived at
HOlbeach, notes an exchange. His
name was Rippin, and, although COM
pIetely blind, he could take to pieces
and put together again watches of most
delicate construction with the greatest
ease and in quicker time than most
watchmakers who have the advantage
of good eyesight.
On one occasion some of the tiny
wheels and screws used in his trade
were stolen from him, but the thief
was captured with the property on his
person, and Rippin identified it by his
delicate sense of touch. Another watch
and clockmaker brought up his blind
son to his trade, and he proved so skill
full that on more than n occasion he
detected faults in timepieceS which 9TH
er tradesmen had failed to discover.

DRAINAGE FOR SWAMP LANDS
Large Tracts Can Be Made to Grow
Crops and Meat Animals to Feed
Thousands of Soldiers.

From the Unsted States Department Of
Agriculture.)
Large tracts of WEI land varying in
from a few hundred tt thousands
Of acres in many states in the humid
regions, which now produce little or
nothing aside from timber, can be made
TO grow sufficient crops and meat ami
mails to feed thousands of soldiers, if
properly drained. These areas are fire.
quently capable of producing excep-
tionally good crops, the soil is produc-
tive, and only for lack of drainage are
prevented from being profitable to
their owners and an asset to the ma
ton. In almost every tract of this
kind there are usually a few owners
who feel that the land could be drained
to advantage and that a few crops pro-
duced on the reclaimed area would pay
all the expenses Of q drainage system,
but too frequently there are other land
owners who object to the plan.

EX-KING DOES USEFUL WORK
Manuel of Portugal Now Director cs
School for the Re-education of
Manned Soldiers.

Royalty has suffered much in the
present war, even at the hands of it's
friends. When the interallied confer
ence in the interest of permanently
disabled soldiers was concluded in
Paris, a party of delegates ~journeyed
to England to inspect the great schools
established there for the re~-education
of men MANNED in battle. One of these
schools in particular excited the wish
tors admiration because of it's mar
velous equipment and seemingly per-
feet management. This was. all the
more remarkable because the director
Of the school was a very young man.
SO much impressed were the visitors
that before leaving they waited upon
the youthful director and fairly show
cred him with praise.
SIT is both a great responsibility and
n high honor TO you, sir" said their
spokesman, a distinguished French sci
enlist, "tO have been placed at your
age at the head of so important a
school,"

but in times past I have had occasion
TO direct matters wen more important
than these" replied the young man,
who was none other than the ex-King

LONG ISLAND AND NEW YORK
Stretch of Breeze-Swept Sand Has
Been Made to Meet the De-
mands of Every Class.

Long Island is the safety valve and
salvation of New York. 1t is hard to
see how the big city could get through
a summer without this hundred miles
Of breeze-swept sand, which it can
reach in a few minutes by bridge or
tube or ferry, writes Niksah.
1t is a matter of endless admiration
how Long Island has been made to
meet the needs of New Workers of
every taste and income. 1t has cheap
beaches, where anyone may get a swim
for a quarter, and exclusive beaches
where $4,000 a year is regarded as
poverty. 1t has sport beaches full
of cafes and music, and quiet beaches,
where old ladies knit on shady porches.
It has millionaire suburbs from which
the many are ingeniously excluded;
and middle-clasS suburbs with their
neat little cottages, looking like ad-
vertisements out of paint catalogs
stuck primly in the middle of correct
little lawns; and suburbs for those
who have just enough money to get
out of town in the summer. Most of
these latter are situated in the lagoon
district between Rockaway beach and
the island proper. They stand on stills
in the shallow water, in the midst Of
wide green salt meadows. They are
Imprinted, for the most part, but
tanned into soft grayS and puppies by
the sea air. They are alive with chill
dren and stout fishermen with long
poles decorate all the wharves, while
houses are full of rowboats and little
launches. There is more picture and
color in this bit of Long Island than
in all the rest of it put together.

The land should be in good condition
and everything should be ready for
quick operation when planting time ar
r1ves. Mark off the rows or dig the
holes for the plants just before plant
ing to prevent the drying of the soil.
Ii possible, set the plants on a cloudy
day or just before nightfall. When
the soil is very dry it is advisable to
use a little water in the hole. The wa
ter should be applied when the hole
is partially filled with soil, and the
moist earth should hen be covered
with dry soil to prevent baking. Plants
should be set a trifie deeper in the gar
den than they were in the plant bed.
Pack the soil thoroughly around the
plants, so a to avoid air spaces.
