The oldest Industry to make use of
waste for fertilizing Is the fish indus
try. The custom Of fertilizing crops
with fish existed among the Indians
Of New England before the arrival Of
white settlers. 1t Is said that for fer
tilizing corn one or two fish were
buried in each hill. This procedure
was adopted by the colonists, and at
the time Of a large catch the sur
plus fish were simply spread broad
cast over the fields. In places where
fish were plentiful this disposal of an
oversupply of fish has been practical
until very recent times.

CLUB CARNIVAL
 WAS A FINANCIAL SUCCESS

The Flagstaff Athletic Clubs recent carnival at the Orpheum was success full both as an entertainment and fi- nancially. The boys had bought the house out for the night, and tacking on 15 cents extra admission, added a lot of athletic stunts to the regular Orpheum program.
 R. F. Zeleski and Wm. Fisher put on limited-round sparring exhibi- tion, and were followed by another pair of millers, Ira Brown and Doc Scanlon. Both bouts were fast and exciting, though there were no knock outs. Bud Anderson, physical direc- tor of the club, and Lou Charlebois wrestled for 30 minutes, neither one succeeding in pinning the others shoulders to the mat. This alone was worth the price of admission. Bud did lot of startling strong-arm stunts, such as carrying around a chair, with a man in it, in his teeth, and with those same food-grinders hanging onto rope in spit of the efforts of three husky men to pull it from him or even to pull him out of his tracks. The club is planning other similar events for the future.

NORTHERN ARIZONA SURE TO BECOME
 GREAT PLAYGROUND OF SOUTHWEST
 WITH CONSTRUCTION OF GOOD ROADS

takes lively interest in the State Fair. He has backed large numbes of enterprises in northern Arizona, and has been a great builder of that part of the state. He has put the money he made in that section back into developing the resources of the country where he made it, which is more than most men who have made their pile in Arizona do.
 Has Best Weekly Newspaper
 In the Coconino Sun, published by Colonel Fred s. Breen, Flagstaff has undoubtedly the best weekly newspa- per published in Arizona. It is brim full of news of the north and is cir culated all along the Santa Fe rail- road. Colonel Breen was formerly supervisor of the national forests in the north and later in charge of the draft during Governor Campbell's ad- ministration. He is now devoting his entire time to The Sun and has made a splendid newspaper of it and a credit to Flagstaff and the north.
 . Big Development Certain
 While the south has grown more rapidly in population and assessed valuation than the north, the latter is fast coming into it's own. Another five years will see big increase in both the population and the industries of the north, especially in mineral de- vel0pment. There is possibility also that oil may be encountered in wells now drilling near Holbrook. This sure would give tremendous impetus to the north with her other resources in lum- Der, sheep and minerals. In passing the agricultural development of the north should not be overlooked. Splendid crops of potatoes are being raised all around Flagstaff this year. The corn crop also is a good one. Where there was one farm five years ago, there are a dozen now. There are many good sites for small reser- voirs. and northern Arizona, like the south, also has it's agricultural pos sibilities.-By Allan B. Jaynes, in the Tucson Citizen.

MAN WHO STOLE
 HORSE COT AWAY

Undersheriff Wm. Hicklin, who had been out since Sunday morning hunt ing L. A. Norton, the young man who shot one of John Anderson's horses and stole the other one in making his getaway, returned Saturday. Norton had presumably boarded a train at or near Crozier, getting clear.
 The horse and two rifles he had taken from Nathan Bankhead's sheep camp at Anita were recovered Thurs day, where Norton abandoned them and took to the rocks near Crozier when a couple of Mohave county dep uty sheriff's had him nearly cornered. The horse was in good shape.
 Norton had evidently avoided everybody up to Thursday, when, just before the officers saw him, he had gone to the old Crozier ranch for din- ner. Hicklin found several places where he had camped out, and evil dences that he had lives we'll on things he had foraged. He had killed two beeves. 4a
 The country where Norton abandon ed the horse is very rough, and al- though Hicklin kept a guard at the only water supply in the vicinity and had five Indians on the hunt, nothing could be found of the fugitive.
 The version that the shooting of the horse was accidental proves to be correct. Norton was showing the other men some wild west stunts, and shot his mount accidentally with his revolver. Then he skipped, evidently fearing that he would be required to pay for the horse.

SOMETHING MISSING

A city youngster was paying his first visit to his uncle's farm. Among the animals on the place was rather small foal. As the boy stood gazing at the little creature, his uncle said:
 "Well, what do you think of him, Johnny?"
 "Why--why, he's all right" replied Johnny, "but where's his rockers?"

 Billy: "But this butter is bitter. If mother puts this butter in her batter it will make her batter bitter"
 So Billy bought better bit of but ter and his mother put the better bit of butter in her batter and the better bit of butter made better batter than would the bitter bit of butter.

URGE UNIFORM TRAFFIC
TO AVERT ACCIDENTS

The United States Council OF Ma
ltional Defense. through its highways
transport committee, is inaugurating a
nationwide campaign to bring about
the adoption. so far as possible, Of
suggested uniform traffic regulations
and directions that the alarming num-
Der of accidents occurring daily on the
highways be decreased.
1t is the belief OF the highways
transport committee that through this
movement life and limb may be con-
served and economic results OF an i'm
ipressive character attained. The
courts have estimated the value of a
life at $4,000. In the City of Wash
ington, as an instance. the death toll
as last officially announced was at
the rate of eighty-two per year. These
figures speak for themselves.
The need. therefore, for uniformity
Throughout the country in such regu-
lations and directions to the end that
the number of accidents, resulting
primarily from the increasing number
of power-driven vehicles on the high
ways. may be decreased would seem
to be apparent.
These suggested regulations and di-
lrections represent. the Council of Ma
tional Defense believe. the best and
most disinterested thought on the sub
ject of highway accidents, and their
cause and remedies possible to be had.

It's Redesigned from One Of
The ''Ready-Cut Houses .
You Buy by Mail.
BY ,AYMAR EMBURY II.

Amenca'B most famous snall-house architect
Is d.~-'iug dssigns nudsts, ESPECIALLY iof 1ne
Washington Herald reader. This Is his ninth.
Many people have come to be-
lieve that they can buy the So
called "ready-cut house" cheaper
than by going to an architect and
with just as good results. 1t is
therefore interesting to Sc" how tn"
architects have redesigned one Of
these stock houses. II you will con-
suit the plan shown you will see an
entirely liveable layout and one that
with only one or two exceptions re-
mains as shown lin a popular cata-
logue.
The length of the living room ran
the other way and the porch was
across the front. The result was
commonplace and the detail ex-
tremely bad. In the redesigned
house the same simplicity OF con-
struction has been retained except
for the small hip. roof over the liv-
ing room projection and the per-
COLA porch. neither of which adds
greatly to the expense and on the
other hand make an enormous dIf-
ference in the appearance.
While the rooms are small they
are large enough for comfort and
are considerably larger than the
average apartment house rooms.
The dining room could be used as
an additional bedroom by using the
living room for a dining room also.
The steep pitch OF the roof provides
sufficient storage which could be
reached by counter balanced STARED
in the ceiling of the passage.
Only the front part of the porch
is a pergola as the part nearest the
house is covered by the roof of the
main house. One objection which
might be raised to an open pergoIa
is eliminated by this treatment
Most home builders realize the dec
orative possibilities of a vine-cov-
cred pergola in the shade and color
