DEALER GUARANTEES MITCHELL SPRINGS
 FUR 100,000 MILES

S. E. Lannis, sales manager of the Motor Sales company, Inc, Mitchell distributors of Phoenix, has announced a 100000 mile guarantee on all springs used on the new Victory Modef' Nit chell.
 We believe these springs to be un- breakable, regardless of road condi- tions or driving" stated Mir. Lannis. and base this belief on the fact that out of several hundred Mitchells sold in the state during the past three years we have no record of spring having been broken. Not even one.
 There are several reasons for this absence of spring trouble, so common to Arizona roads: The fine balance of our car and even distribution of weight; the patented shock absorbing type of cantilever springs as used only by the Mitchell, and the high grade material used in our springs"

In this case there should be from 11a

more salt to the beans. If salt meat
is used, probably one teaspoon of salt
will be enough. When mutton is en-
ployed, trim off every particle of the
skin. Bake the beans in very mod
crate oven for or 10 hours. Add a
little boiling water from time to time,
but never enough to bring the water
beyond the top of the beans. Any

is the best for Boston baked beans"
The lima and large white beans are
best for the deep earthen dish. Do
not cover the beans while baking.

Getting Acquainted With America.

The United States has been getting
the greatest advertising during the
last two years that any nation has
ever received, and the results Of this
should be reaped In foreign trade, just
as any merchant obtained custom from
an advertising campaign.
Since the beginning Of the war there
has been steady stream Of foreign
missions on tour In the United States,
headed by men Of prominence In their
respective countries. They have WIS.,
tied the shipyards, the steel mills, the
camps and the industrial cities, and
they have seen the miles of fertile
farm lands and gained a new concep-
tiOn Of the vastness Of America and
its ability to put over big things on a
big scale. A convention Of the Leagus
OF Nations In Washington will add
still more to this world knowledge Of
Americas resources The chief thing
now to be sought Is the holding of the
advantage gained.-Forbes Magazine.

EASY TO IMPROVE MEMORY
Whole Secret Is to Concentrate the
Mind Entirely on tho One
Thing In Hand.

People Of poor memory are general
ly inattentive and fail to concentrate.
Systems like Pelmanism help to good
memory In that they focus tine mini
on the thing at hand. Dreamers read,
and for the life Of them cannot tell
what the last sentence was, unless II
was something in which .hey were
vividly interested waking them out Of
their dream. and then II Is fixed for
good. thus showing that memory is
conditioned On attention and concen-
tratiOn. To cure this requires heroic
treatment. Make II a religious resolve
TO attend only to the thing In hand.
II II is reading. concentrate on the
book so thoroughly that every sem
tence takes clearly defined meaning in
the mind. One cannot think Of some
thing else and at the same time un-
derstand and remember what he Is
reading. The trick In the game Of
memory Is to overcome dreaming. alb
straction, inattention. 1t can be done
by persistent. patient, long-continued
effort.

PROTECTION IN CLEANLINESS

The poultry house drinking fountains
and feed troughs must be washed
every week with boiling water or 9TH
er disinfectant, and if any lice or mites
are found on the birds or in the house
the roosts and adjoining parts of the
walls should be painted with NIX.
ture Of kerosene, l quart, and crude
carbolic acid or crude creosol, / tea
cupful, advise specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture. The
house may be whitewashed with fresh
ly slaked lime or sprayed with kero-
sene emulsion. In case of an actual
outbreak of virulent disease it is we'll
to add to each gallon of the whitewash
ounces of crude carbolic acid. Good
disinfectants destroy the germs of con-
tagious diseases, the external para
sites, such as lice and mites, and in
some cases the eggs of parasite worms,
and should be used frequently in and
about the poultry house.

Migratory Bird Law.

The constitutionality Of the federal
migratory bird treaty act, approved
July 8, 1918, Is upheld in an opinion
rendered not long ago by Federal
Judge Jacob Trieber Of the eastern
district Of Arkansas In the case Of the
United States against F.. d. Thomp-
son of Memphis, charged with killing
and possessing one robin In violation
Of the act.
This Is one Of the most important
decisions ever rendered affecting the
conservation Of wild life. 1t sustains
the right Of congress to enact legisa-
ton to insure the execution of the
terms Of the treaty between the United
States and Great Britain, concluded
August 16, 1916. for the protection Of
migratory birds in the United States
and Canada.
1t will be recalled that Judge Trie-
Der in 1914. in the case Of United
States against Harvey c. Shaver, de-
cided that the migratory bird law, ap-
proved March 4, 1913, was unconsti-
tutional. The present law repealed
the act OF 1913.-Birmingham Age

its association with William Penn. He

pieces of land where they might come
in peace and build their council fires.
One Of them, patch Of 85 feet by 100,
under the shadow of the towering Ritz
Carlton hotel, Is now covered with

age and dumping ground for odds and
ends. There has appeared an Indian
princess named Notoh-tha - which
means, in the Seneca language, "Never

ALPS HAD THEIR RE\ 6NGe
Famous Alrman Who Had Osned
Great Mountains at Last Meets
His Death There.

Few Of the men who have given their
lives to the air have met more I'M
pressive end than the handsome. gold
en-haired young Captain Natalie Palli.
He was the favorite pilot during the
war OF Maj. Gabriel d'Annunzio, the
Italian poet who became one Of the
greatest airmen.
Palli evidently had motor trouble
when right over the Alps. With ex-
traordinary skill he landed his machine
on glacier 9.0O0 feet high. Getting
out Of II unhurt, he started to climb
down the mountain side. A snowstorm
soon set In around him, but on he plod-
ded through the floundering drifts to-
wards the little village Of Bourg st.
Moritz. In the valley below. For
whole day at least he stumbled for
ward, without food and pierced by the
bitter cold.
Then. when he was 200 yards from
mountain hut, and within sight Of
the Alpine village, his strength gaze
out and he sank down into the snow.
His courage urged him to another ef-
fort; the snow was found with the
marks Of his struggles to rise again.
But he could do no more, and there,
two days later. passing peasant
found the gallant young Italian pilot
lying with his head on his arm as II
asleep, haifcovered by the snow, and
without bruise on his body.
So did the Alps which he had con-
quered revenge themselves upon Ma
tale Palli. who had escaped death In
l40 raids over the enemy lines in war.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN

Put protectors against sunscald and
rabbits on the trees now.
Watch the squash and cabbage
stored in the cellar. Both are apt to
decay at this time Of year.
Roses should be laid on the ground
and covered with straw. Put boards
or heavy paper OH TO shed the rain and
snow. Rose foliage must be kept dry.
Keep potted bulbs In a cool dark
place until they are well rotted. An
early top growth means poor weak
flowers.
Butternuts will keep over one or two
years il we'll cured and kept in a cool
dry place. This is especially fortunate,
as we seldom get two good crops in

FLAVORING BEANS

Baked beans may be cooked in many
ways. Here is one recipe:
Cook the dried beans gently until the
skins begin to break, then drain off the
water. Put a layer of beans in a bean
pot or deep earthen dish, and on this
layer, in the center of the dish, place a
piece OF salt pork ('streak of fat and
streak of lean'), having the rind side
up, using for one quart of beans half
pound of pork; the rind should he
scored. Fill up the dish with the
beans, and add seasonings and water
to cover the beans.
The simplest seasoning for beans is
one tablespoonful of salt and half
