THIS deals with two first novels, one
= a Of which, Miss Judson's, Is q
second. sf4 '.'r ..t..... ..- ..
In Mockery, by Alexander MaeFarian,
an original plot notion is driven through
by good deal Of native story telling
force. Better than that, the plot Is no
mere mechanical toy, but is of the higher
order which proceeds from and depends
on characterization-and in this case
the characterization was no easy one to
do. In life Mr.. MacFarlan's hero, Grant,
is very common. In art, simply and con-
vincingly presented, he is rare.
Mockery then is an arresting first book.
Just how promising it is seems to me to
be question of Mr.. MacFarlan's age. If
he is under twenty-five his career will bear
lot of watching. If older, we can only
hope for the best. Grant as human study
is decidedly interpretive. Any young
writer of some little gift, with a strong
interpretive tendency, has within himself
the material for at least one interesting
portrait. That, however, is hardly stock
In trade. want to see Mr.. MacFarlan
draw his next portrait from life outside.
If he does, and as well as he has done
Grant, then l shall hnrrah for him.
Grant, you see, is the peculiarly sensi-
tive constitutional liar, the child cursed
with very thin skin and compensated
with extra imagination. Such children,
well brought up, furnish most of the good
fiction writers. Spoiled, they grow up to
be Grants-"queer," lonely, dolefully un-
happy, altogether Intellectual. The latter
process is this the child begins telling
harmless fairy stories without incentive.
Then it sees that applied story telling
will save it spankings. Then, unless wisely
directed, it develops an ego-which it graf
ifies by lying about itself to other people.
The adult product is shirk and a tall
talker.
Whereas if the same child is fortunate
In its parents and surroundings the adult
product, like as not, is an estimable novel;
ist and enjoys the perusal of tactful eri-
tiques, like this, Of its first novel! But
when he observes q Grant in his wretch
edness the novelist understands him.

(Statement of Judge o. j. 5auehn, Florence, Arizona, Chairman of the San Carlos Association Committee.l
 T desire to state on behalf of the committee selected at the great bus mess meeting of the people of the Florence Casa Grande Valley held in Florence on Tuesday, August F, that very shortly after the meeting was over on Tuesday, the five members of the committee who were present, constituting Judge P D. Overfield. ". $. Prouty, M. T. Clemens. W. I. David son and myself, the Hon A. A. Jayne, a member of the committee being ab- sent on his vacation in the northern part of the state, met and proceeded to organize by the election of my self as chairman, ". s. Prounty as temporary secretary and M. T. Clem- committee authorized the committee of three. representing the banking in- stitutions of the valley to continue to act as such members of the com mittee to receive signatures, pending the selection of parmsnent recre- tary and treasurer and the opening of a permanent office on behalf of the association.
 Meeting Held.
 "The committee held it's first regu- larly called meeting on Saturday even-# ing, August IS, at the residence of Judge Overfield near Casa Grands. The entire plan of action was threshed over and it was decided by the com mittee that is soon as it could learn the amount of money available for the work that the committee would map out a complete program and apportion as nearly as it could the various sums to be allotted to the contem- plated expenditures covering various branches of the work.
 No Date Set.
 eThe committee has not yet fixed a definite time limit within which land owners must sign up their land within the association and pay their assess ment per acre or be left out. This matter was left open for the next meeting, as it is confidently belle. ed that ip the meantime practically all land owners within what has been considered the reasonable imits of the project will be signed up and will have paid in their assessment.
 Limits Not Fixed.
 No definite exterior limits to the project will he fixed until some fur ther additional engineering data comes into the possession of the committee The project limits, however. it may be said, will run from one hundred and fifty to two hundred thousand acres and perhaps little more, de- pending upon the recent investigations respecting the increased height of
