with. There are men here in the val

good circumstances who began with
practically nothing, but I would not
advise any one to attempt such feat
in the Salt River valley now. You
must either have money or mighty
good backing in order to make a
successful start in Arizona.
Land Values
Improved ranch lands can be bought
for $125 to $500 per acre. It all de-
pends on the location and distance
from the city. A ranch of say, 20 to
40 acres, with house and other I'M
provements, will cost from $4,000 to
$4,000. A man to start on 20 acres
should have at least $500. This
money would be divided as follows:
one-half payment on the 20 acres at
SITS per acre, $1,75O; team. $500; COW
$1O0; tools, $100. Total, $2,25O.
What Two Men Did
In 1908 Joe Williams and ]. ]. Har
rington purchased a 10-acre vineyard
just one block from the Mesa city
limits, for 1920 per acre. Today, this
same vineyard cannot be bought for
$500 per acre. This tract proved TO
be very productive In fact the finest
grapes in the Salt River valley were
gathered from this acreage. They
were placed on exhibit in the Cham
Der of Commerce at Phoenix in 1917.
A year later, or in 1918, the vines
were cleared away and the ground
planted in long staple cotton. Owing
to the presence of grape roots in the
ground which prevented a regular
stand of cotton, the yield was only
about one-fourth. 1t is the belief of
the owners that the yield this year
will exceed bale to the acre, as the
soil is very rich. They also have
ample water for irrigation, being un-.
der the Roosevelt project.
The Gem City
Mesa has modern school system.
Four grammar schools with fine build
ings and an efficient staff OF teachers;
a high school with faculty teaching
the various courses of art and COM
merce, music and science. The col
ored children of Mesa are blessed with
a privilege that is denied our children
in other sections of the state. Thanks
to the god Christian gentlemen on the
school board, and the excellent citi-
zenship of Mesa as whole, we have
no separate schools for colored chill
dren. We are all Americans here in
Mesa, and one hundred per cent at
that. AS colored citizen of Mesa
who has the welfare of the race at
heart, l hope and pray that we will
always have this ideal school system
in the great city of the great state OF
Arizona
CoIored Population
In regard to the colored population
of Mesa, will say that in January
1917, only three colored families re-
sided here and but one of these fam
lilies owned their home. Today there
are over Is families living here ana
two-thirds of this number own their
homes. These people have also erec-
ted missionary Baptist church with
all Indebtedness paid; have paid $3.50
on the lot which cost $500 and paid
out this year over $40 0for pastors
salary; donated to Home and Foreign
missions; helped the poor and have
good Sunday school with a compet-
ent staff of officers and large atten-
dance. Quite a neat little sum has
been spent by the Sunday school for
periodicals and other class literature.
Taken all in all Mesa is the one bright
spot in Arizona where prosperity and
opportunity abound.

New Zealand Census

THE New Zealand Government
statistics relating to the census
Of 1916 have just been made
public. In classifying dwellings, by
the number of rooms the figures show
that out of 229, ,423 private dwellings
in New Zealand 5000 had one room,
$3.50 two rooms, 1O,5OO three rooms,
40 900 four rooms, $4,000 five rooms,
$4,000 six rooms, $4,000 seven rooms
and l0,s00 eight rooms. Country dis
tricts account for most OF the small
houses.
The overwhelming prominence OF
wood in the construction of dwellings
in New Zealand Is shown by the fact
that $4,000 were constructed OF wood,
1000 of brick, 1880 of stone and 1850
OF concrete. In many counties there
was not single dwelling built of brick
or stone. but these districts were In

Red Gross Girls Death Brings Mind the Martyrd0m Manv

TIME cables recently brought
word from Vladivostok that
L Miss Edith Barnett an Amer
lean Red Cross nurses aid, had died
at Tomsk from typhus, the scourge Of
Siberia the stout hearted American
girl had volunteered to fight. Unsuo-
cessful in her efforts to get to France
as a nurse while the fighting contin-
ued, Miss Barnett, knowing full well
the danger she was confronting, left
a home in New York where she was
surrounded with all the comforts dear
to the heart of a girl. to dare, in the
bleak wastes of Asiatic Russia, a
death from which many a man would
shrink.
A little while before, from the Rus
sian Caucasus, came news of the death
OF Miss Edith Winchester of Philadel-
phia, another Red Cross nurse. who
gave her life fighting typhus, and
about the same time Capt Harold v.
Aupperle of Grand Junction, Col, IN
charge of American Red Cross relief
operations In western Serbia, and
Lieut.. Edward Walker of Blacksburg.
Va, in Eastern Macedonia, died VIC
tins of the epidemics OF typhus they
were fighting.
The sacrifices OF these and other
soldiers in the worldwide war on dis
ease bring vividly to light the fact that
throughout the world American Red
Cross field workers are daily brushing
arms with death in the task they have
undertaken in behalf of their fellow
man. Not alone in war has the courage
of these men ana women been prove%
for they are carrying on in peace
wherever the call of distressed hu-
manity is heard and whatever the
danger.
And it is more than spur of the mo-
ment bravery, for In many cases 1t is

appears no hope of escape from the
Grim Reaper's ever swinging scythe.
What quiet struggles with mortal self
to overcome loathing OF the task that
must be attacked among filthy, starv-
ing, diseased and often insane victims
of wars aftermath preceded their de-
termination can be imagined.
Requires Highest Courage.
The varieties OF martyrdom these
Red Cross men and women have dared
are restricted only by the types of

disease-ridden towns over which
