Foundation for Life.

DR.. Chipperfield took his text from
Matthew 7:25-"It was founded on a
rock"
what have we to do with fOunda-
tions?" asked the speaker, and then
proceeded to answer the question with
the Biblical quotation, "Other fonnda-
tions can no man lay other than that
which is laid" He laid down the
proposition that the foundations for a
successful life have already been laid
and that no man can lay new fOunaa-
ton. 1t is like man who owns farm.
The man did not make the farm and
his interest in it lies only in what he
can get out of it. Human beings are
endowed with hands, a voice, brain,
memory. imagination and other attri-
butes. They are not, however, man
made. Man is not responsible for hav-
ing them, hut he is irresponsible for what
he does with them. And so it is with
the foundation Of a true and success
full life. THIS. founda ton is fixed-be-
lief in God and living up to His com;
mandments.J Man has had nothing to
do with the laying of the foundation,
but he is responsible for what he does
with it. This foundation is Jesus
Christ, who calls on all to build on the
foundation He has already laid. Any
lattempt to construct another would be
as useless as for man to attempt to an
ney tO himself n sixth sense

PAYS HIGH COMPLIMENT
 TO FLAGSTAFF AND PEAKS

Berwyn, H., Dec. 3rd, 1919. Editor Coconino Sun:
 Though l know no one in Flagstaff now, The Sun has become habit with us, reminding of the wonderful peaks and other wonders of nature lavishly bestowed on Flagstaff, but even more than that, keeping before us those vir- tues we have found in the western character; certain idealism and closeness to nature not usual in the lives of the busy Chicagoans.
 Though some of the events you were called upon to report have been to us, most painful, still we have always ap- preciated your straightforward spirit. May your usually bright and interest ing paper prosper, and here's to Flag staff.
 1 shall dislike to see Flagstaff too much commercialized, but it seems a shame that Pike's Peak, which l lately visited for the first time, should have such a disportionate celebrity, when it does seem to me the San Franciscos had greater charm as we saw them this fall with the first snows upon them.
 Very sincerely yours,
 MRS. RALPH S. SOULE.

$45, ,0oo, GOO VALUE
 OF ARIZONA CROPS;
 BETTER THAN IN 1918

Predicting that reports will show the value of crops in Arizona for the past year to be $45, ,00O, ,00O, L. M. Har- rison, field agent of the bureau of crop estimates, declsred that the figures would approximate an appreciable amount of the $42, ,267 ,000 of last year.
 A crop survey of the state is now being made and, according to MT. Har- rison, the reports reveal that the state is richer than it has ever been in its crops, cotton as last year taking the lead, with alfalfa in second place.
 A schedule was mailed to 5000 farmers in the state who are furnish ing the report on acreage, average yield, total production and value of farm products. A large percentage of replies have already been received and from these Harrison bases his predic- ton of the increase in value of Ari- zona crops.
 Ten years ago the crop value for the state was $5,496,872, according to the statistics, making an almost $40 ,000- 900 gain during that period.

 He says he would rather "be Santa Claus to the bunch of miners in the Canadian copper camp than minister to all the elders in Christendom." He was a circuit rider in Northern Mani toba and can tell stories of times when he had to leave his sled and run on the snow behind the dogs to keep from freezing to death.

LONDON-The English race is slowly undergoing change in type, according to Professor Parsons, pro lessor of anatomy at St. Thomas hos pital. He has measured consider able number of English and German faces and has found that the general differences in these measurements amounted to 15 per cent.
 A study of the old armor of the Tower of London shows that present day British soldiers could not squeeze into the ancient war gear.
 The English woman, it is said, has developed in size since her grandmoth- er's day, owing to larger participation in outdoor sports and more exercise.

 One dealer said he never experi- enced such rush for rodent catchers.
 The recent steel strike is blamed, as the animals, which lived about the plants, kept warm by the furnaces and fed by scraps from the workmen's lunches, were driven elsewhere to find food.
 Two tinplate plants, where hundreds of rats fattened on bran used in pol ishing tin, are idle.
 As result the rats are infesting Martins Ferry.

barrassing to those of the newspaper
boys of the state who were raving
and ranting so over the proposed
candidacy of Marion Reilly for Gov
ernor of Mississippi to have him give
out a statement that he would not
be in the race. There was a lot of
good high-smelling incense wasted,
all OF which goes to prove that there
is lots of love lost by newspaper men
over big politicians who are caring
