THREE MONTHS WASTED.

Northern Arizona is rejoicing over
the resumption of work by the United
Verde mine and smelter at Jerome.
The Verde extension also will be in
operation as soon as repairs to its
smelter are completed. These mines
were closed when many minels de-
clined to accept a cut in wages of Is
cents per day. following the slump in
copper prices, Mine owners alleged
that the strike was promoted by the
l. w w. and the Mine, Mill and
Shelters Workers union did not sane
ton it. Only half a crew is being
used at present, but the force will be
increased as copper prices improve.
When the mines closed in February
suspension was said to have affected
10000 workers and their families. 1t
is probable that the trouble makers
have left the state and that the men
who remained never approved Of the
strike.

THE 17-YEAR LOCUST.
y Mountain News,

Any boy or girl who is not yet II
years old will have the privilege of
seeing an insect who is older than
himself.
This insect, the so-caled 17-year
locust, whose correct name is Cicada
though commonly known, also, as
harvest fly and FIREMAN, was born in
1902. He dropped from the twig up
on which he was attached in July or
August of that Year-a tiny, white
thng-fell softly to earth and imme-
diately burrowed out of sight
There he has been living ever since,
principally if not wholly on the juice
of rootlets. He has been growing
slowly, shedding his skin every three
or four years. When he energies
from the earth he will be about an
inch and quarter long, He will
spend five or six weeks in the tree
tops, making the sultrv air of the dog
days fairly vibratc with his lusty,
drumming song-which is really not
a song, but a swift, rolling drum
tatto Then his brief aerial existence
will end.
No other insect of the Hundreds of
thousands of species known to science
has a life cycle which compares in
length with the Cicada's. The next
longest. that of the Nav fly or shad
fly, is only three years. and even this
is exceptional.
Thoughtfullv considered, the Cicada
seems almost like a cruel joke of ma
ture. For II wears he lives alone in
his damn. sunless. subterranean home,
without companions, without a mate
sucking, sucking, sucking at a rootlet
and perhaps never getting Il foot or a
yard from the same spot. Not only is
his prison sunless MINDLESS, but,
doubtless, almost soundless. Seven
teen years in which to prepare for six
weeks of life,
But we need not pity him, as he
certainly does not pity himself And
we may admire him for the manner
in which he keeps track of the time,
without calendar. sun, moon or stars,
In any given latitude he and his host
of fellow insects emerge from the
ground with a divergence in their va
rious schedules of only about a fort
night,

HOMESTEAD LEAVE OF
ABSENCE REGULATIONS
ARE GREATLY CHANGED

ESPECIAL Correspondence TO noPsIHe JouHNALl
Santa Fe, May 14.--Of much inter
est to settlers in New Mexico are the
instructions received by Receiver
Francisco Delgado of the federal land
office regarding important changes in
the rules relating to absences from
homesteads on account of drouth or
other climatic conditions. Under the
as heretofore interpreted a home
steader was entitled to a leave Of alb
sence in one or two continuous periods
not exceeding in the aggregate five
months in each year after establishing
residence. 1t was provided that in
case of communication, fourteen months
actual residence must be shown. The
new regulations provide that the reg
lister and receiver may, upon proper
showing. and only for climatic condi-
tions which may make residence on
the homestead for seven months of a
year q hardship, reduce the term of
residence to six months for each year,
over a period of four years. or to five
months year over period of five
years. The total residence required
shall in no event exceed twenty-five
months. II the showing is satisfac-
tory, local land owners are authorized
to forward the application to the gen.
eral land office with a notation of the
allowance of the claim. If it is not
satisfactory the entryman has the us
ual appeal to Washington. There is no
authority to allow two absence periods
but the five or six months residence
must be in one continuous period.
Proof on an entry must be made
within five years of its allowance.

BUSY DAYS FOR CONGRESS.

Congress win meet in extraordinary
session next Monday. The call was
not issued day too soon For two
months and a half the administration
has managed to carry on the govern
ment without the counsel or aid of the
legislative branch, but the approach
ing end OF the fiscal year makes i'm
perative the provision of money sup
plies.
This is always a work of difficulty
and complication, but it is superlative-
ly so now. Secretary Glass has been
insistent that the financial problems
be taken up at the earliest moment,
and with the handing of the peace
treaty TO the Germans the president
yielded to the opportunities Of the
head of the treasury department.
The president will have to forego
his cherished custom of addressing in
person the opening session of congress.
However. while the president is
cleaning up his work in Paris and
voyaging homeward. congress can set
the wheels of legislation in motion,
The house especially will be Quickly
ready for business. as the republican
majority organization has been agreed
upon. The appropriation committee
can begin without delay the revision of
the great supply bills which were lost
in the jam at the close Of the last
session.
The peace treaty is the main con-
sideration with the senate, which may
now begin to study the official text
informally through the individual ac-
ton of the members of the committee
on foreign relations. Sixty days is the
period allowed for the study of the
terms
There doubtless will be sharp critic
ism of some of the terms, but mainly
the senate will be concerned with the
covenant of the league of nations,
which fills the opening chapter Of the
tremendous document. Ratification
depends upon whether out of ninety
SIX members Oh the senate SiNty-Iour
or more are ready to commit this re-
public to the great experiment.
Can the covenant be amended? It
is an integral part of the treaty and
the president apparently believes the
senate must take it or leave it. COW
euant and all. Yet the United States
before now has signed international
agreements with a reservation, and if
the senate were to insist on amend
ments they might be reserved in the
signature Of our plenipotentiaries. to
be subsequently acted upon by the
league itself.
At any rate, busy days are ahead
when the new congress meets.
