And surely enough, no sooner had
the little baby piggie seen the dancing
bear. as he shuffled around the pen,
then she laughed, "Ha! ha! Ho, no!
Hee! heel until she was as Jolly as a
sunflower on a huckleberry vine.
There! Now | guess ri rest a Bit"
said the dancing bear, as he stepped

"of course he's alive" said Uncle

And so it turned out. Then, after n

not be exempt from this sinister in

The death of a famous woman is
foretold and it will have the element of
tragedy.
There is a sign forecasting changes

ture, is the wise thing for a land
owner anywhere. as rule. A Clear
revelation this year, by the work of
the farmers and the yield they have
brought from the soil. is that this
state is greater in agricultural produc-
ton than in any other line. Neither
livestock nor mineral production is
longer the main source Of wealth.
The farmer generally does not on
pect to grow wealthy, but feels safe
from bankruptcy and dependence in
years to come. The farm ever has
value. usually increasing as popula-
ton and consumption of products in
crease. Reasonably treated the land
is never worn out and can be made to
increase in fertility 1t is ever good
collateral for loans in time of finan-
cial need.
The farmer may sow, reap and SOW
again, and even if there be lean years,
the pendulum of nature brings again
the harvest More people exist by
filling the soil than by any other oc-
cupation. 1t has ever been so the
world over and ever will be.
The land does not run away. 1t
does not burn like buildings. 1t does
not exhaust productive power with
one working like mine.
This comment is prompted by the
recent announcement by owners that
the great Inspiration mine of Mari
copa county, Arizona, will be depleted
in from nine to fifteen years, accord
ing to whether worked at full or less
capacity. Then it will be a discarded
hole in the ground and the machinery
of mill and plant be junked. that cost
millions of dollars.
As in all mineral operations, from
the moment the mine began to pro-
duce, it's actual value began to be re-
duced. Ore cannot be replanted like
farm crops. A mining company cam
not eat its cake and have 1t too. In
many cases disappointment comes.
because If millions are invested. not
enough profitable ore is always pro-
duced to repay investments, after
operating costs, which often incRease,
are deducted together with losses
from bad management or disasters,
Even if all goes well a mine has a
definite life and when worked out Is
worthless for any purpose.
A mine is not slayer. The farm
one may have "for keeps When the
many mines of eXultant Arizona and
the few of this state are memories,
the farms of both states, the irrigated
valleys, and the prolific plains that
now produce abundantly under suita-
BILE methods of handling. will be
thickly dotted with prosperous homes
and a great population.

Ignorant Essays

Dancing is wrestling set TO music.
AS in wrestling, the first requirement
is learning the holds. The rest is
easy, because you merely hold on and
keep on moving. 1t doesn't make
much difference what you move Sc
long as you move and that you pay
no attention to- the music except to
applaud when it stops. You applaud
when it stops because that Is the best
part of it.
Fashions in dancing change almost
as fast as feminine walstines, and IN
about the same manner, for like
waistlnes, dancing has been revised
For instance it used to be
that we danced with our feet. Then
along came "Ballin' the jack and We
danced with our knees. The waistline
was about there then. too. The HUH
Hull babies. all dressed m in neck
laces and syncopated shredded wheat,
then introduced the gluteal gambol,
and the waistline rose accordingly.
And now we have the shimmy. which
is danced with the shoulders. Next
year we shall have the Head Hop.
Those who master It will be known as
Hop Heads, and dance will be billed
as Bean Ball
For a time the new dances were
named after the animals, such as the

SIMPLIFYING COURT PROCEDURE

Many people lack confidence in the
administration of justice. The feel
ing prevails too much that it works
less for the poor man than for the
rich. A wealthy individual or cor
ruration can often so tie up justice
by long and involved court procedure
that the ordinary man is helpless
against it.
Chief Justice Winslow of Wisconsin,
who led the discussion at one OF the
meetings Of the American Bar asso-
citation at Boston, told the lawyers
assembled some truths that should
meet with response all over the
country.
He said that one of the first duties
Of lawyers is to help the movement
TO simplify court procedure. The law
schools, he said. should train their
men to accomplish this end.
The way many cases drag along IN
the courts is preposterous. A small
case should be put through in few
weeks. Dilatory motions should not
be permitted. The system OF appeals
should be so arranged that trifling
cases could not be held pending for
a long time.
A great deal of the trouble is due
to the fact that lawyers and courts
are busy and have more work than
they can do. The tendency is for
litigants to engage the most exper-
fenced lawyers in the neighborhood,
whose time is so taken up that their
cases are badly delayed. At the same
time there may be many reasonably
competent men who would have time
to put cases along. There should DE
some penalty for delay when caused
unnecessarily. There should be judges
enough so that the courts could hear
all cases promptly, as soon as they
are ready for trial The time of the
upper courts should not be taken up
by trifling cases appealed. q
When justice becomes prompt and
speedy, a great deal of popular dis
content will disappear.

money paid to bandits who captured
aviators. That is the first sign that
Carranza is gaining in tact. When
American troops were chasing bandits
no help was given by the federals. In
fact, it was due to the camping OF a
large body of Mexican troops IN the
path of the pursuing cavalry that q

fear Of conflict with the federals.
