GOAT MEAT GOOD AS MUTTON
It ;s Said Only Experts Are Able to Tell the Difference Be
 tween the Two.

There Is growing disposition to give the goat his due. Heretofore this rubbish eating animal has been re- garded pretty much as joke. but he has continued to eat tn cans and thrive until now his race has ac- quired census-listing proportions and market has been established in mIddle-western city where surplus goats will be converted into "spring lamb" for the benefit of our non-vege- tarians. As an addition to the poor mans meat perhaps the goat will be welcome, especially if his advent tends to lower the present high prices.
 Goat meat tastes much the same as mutton, it Is claimed, and that the diff ference cannot be told save by m ex- pert. Perhaps that is just as we'll
 Our imagination has much to do with
 our taste. Many people are eating
 horse meat in this country under the
 impression that It Is beef, for horses are slaughtered, but almost nowhere
 is their meat exposed for sale under
 It's true name. No doubt the easiest way for us to get used to goat meat Is to camoufiage It as mutton. It Is an other case of ignorance being bliss. But, as we are assured by the ex- perts that it Is wholesome, name will not make much difference in the end. Mutton, the world over has been the poor mans meat If goat meat can add to the supply, so much the better. The meat of goats was | favorite in the days of the patrarchs.
 It is still highly prized in the East. | There seems to be no reason why it should not ultimately hold respect | able place on our menus.

A JOB FOR AMERICANS

A telegraphic dispatch from
Washington received in Dallas
today by the War Loan Organiza-
tion says: "You are authorized
to say that the Secretary of the
Treasury wants to emphasize in
the strongest possible manner
that it is imperative that the
bonds or notes issued in the Vic
tory Liberty Loan campaign
should be distributed as widely
as possible amongst the greatest
possible number of people.
This makes clear beyond all
doubt the attitude of the Govern
ment on this important matter
and it sets at rest the rumor that
the banks are expected to absorb
the offering.
The plain facts about the Lib
erty Loan are as follows: For
months past the Government has
been borrowing from the banks
to pay our war debts and the
time has now arrived when that
money must be paid back. The
government ran up a. huge bill
to buy the equipment and am
munition which scared Germany
stiff and ended the war, thus
saving the lives of thousands of
American boys who would other
wise be fighting and dying in the
trenches today. The public is
being asked to lend its money to
the government to pay for Amer.
ican boys lives. This is not a job
for the banks but for every
American that is worthy of the

/" MOTHER" "

We have seen every subject
discussed, but the grandest of
all is Mother. There is no
one who has done so much for
us, has suffered, worried, toiled
all day and watched over US at
night in our sickness; she has
smoothed our fevered brow with
her tender hands; has prayed for
us; never tired of doing for her
children.
How many are there who have
repaid her for what she has done
when they are grown and gone
out into the world? One week
should never pass by without a
letter or remembrance of some
kind to mother, dear.
Then the birthday comes, with
some pretty little present for
mother. We must not forget that
the love is just as dear for us
then, as when we were little ones
at her knee.
We do not prize as we should,
that most beautiful of all posses.
sions - ''our mothers love. "
Never changing, her heart is all
our own. 1t is quite right to set
aside one day as Mothers Day.,
to meet in churches or other
places to honor, and in various
ways to pay homage to mother.
When she has reached the end
of her journey, it will be a great
solace to know she never had oc-
casion to think you had forgotten
her.
Do not wait till then to SUR
round her with flowers, which
she cannot then appreciate.
Scatter sunshine in her path and
surround her with those pretty
flowers now, while she is able to
see and let you know how she
appreciates them.

He condemned white -four and

He said that sunshine Is death
to disease germs when they are

we get from the air is the surest

1,500 times an hour, SO, 900 times
a day and 13. 3.140,000 times a

TENS with the oxygen that is

bad air we are absorbing the
poison from the air that has been
exhaled by ourselves or some one
else and thereby invite disease.

TALK
To Students Of ella Academy
by George H. Maxwell,
Tuesday Morning

The most interesting anu ln'
structive talk made by George
H. Maxwell during his visit to
the Gila valley, was his address
at the Gila Academy, at Thatch-
er, last Tuesday forenoon. He
spoke for nearly two hours and
brought the subjects he has been
speaking to the people of the
valley about. closer to the daily
lives of the people in their homes
than in. any of his other ad-
dresses.
He urged the students to work
out in their own minds a plan OF
life, but plan that contemplated
Utilizing all the beneficial forces
that nature has given to the peo.
pie of this valley to increase its
productiveness and prosperity
and save unnecessary labor.
He ccntrasted the conditions
in the SAT- River valley when
President Layton first visited if
thirty-nine, years ago, with its
condition today, with the Roose-
welt Dam, the Granite Reef Dam,
the Cross Cut Canal, the power
plants, the Highland Canal and
pumping plant on the South Side,
and the marvelously complete
distribution system, irrigating
100000 acres Of land.
Then, he told of the vision he
had of that development nearly
twenty years ago, and how it
had so fully come to pass. Any
one who realizes the possible fu-
ture of the Gila valley, with the
recommendations of the Olmsted
Report carried out. and the New
lands principle of flood control
and water irrigation applied to
the whole watershed and to the
valley, sees vision of the future
in this valley just as fascinating
and marvellous. Mr. Maxwell
declared that it rested with the
people of the valley to accomplish
the realization of this vision,
and strongly urged the young
people to put their whole energy
into the great work-both boys
and girls.
He dwelt at length on the Won
derful methods now being used
to apply electricity to the saving
of labor in the homes and tighten
woman's work and lengthen her
Llife. He referred to electric
cooking, electric lighting, and
churning and washing by elec-
tricity. He told of one family
who use an electric cooking stove.
The dinner is prepared and put
on the stove to cook. Pressing
a button starts the heat and a
regulator will control it so per-
fectly that the housewife can set
the regulator and go away for
two hours and go back and find
the dinner cooked.
He urged the young people to
study, not only how to use elec-
trio power and machinery, but
also how to develop human health
and power and perfect the ma
chinery of their own physical
faculties. He told in a very
humorous way how the cave man
developed the strength we have
inherited from our primitive an
cestors, who lived out of doors,
ran, breathed, ate simple food
and perspired freely, while either
chasing something they wanted
to kill and eat or running away
from something that wanted to
kill and eat them.
He said we get our health and
mental and physical strength
from the earth, air, sunshine,
water and a proper human ration
Of plain simple food. He de-
clared that no one would ever be
sick if they would live right.
The ordinary food of the major
ity of people is not good hu.
