BIRD WITH A 12-FOOT TAIL

The bird with the longest tail comes from Japan. Some of them have tails as much as twelve feet long. When they go for walk in the open air they are accompanied by special train bearers who keep the tail from touch ing the ground. It is variety of the barndoor fowl. In the same way that pouters and fantail pigeons have been developed from the common pigeon in Europe, the long-tailed cocks are rear ed in Shinowara, a village on the is- land of Skikoku. They are kept in long, thin cages, lighted at the top. The bird naturally remains perched at the top with its graceful tail hanging down. If they have to travel they are put in long, narrow boxes, the tail be- ing crushed as little as possible. This tail is much stronger than that of the ordinary cock. The feathers of the wings are very long, too, and grow down from three to four feet, giving the tail very bushy appearance.

REPORTS SOUND WELL,
 BUT, WHERE IS SUGAR?

Optimism is still rampant in the democratic administrative depart ments, judging from the cheering re- ports which emanate therefrom with daily regularity. The Daily Digest" of the Council of National Defense for December 24th quotes from the bu- reau of crop estimates (agriculture department): "The sugar beet pro- duction for Spain, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Canada and the UniteI States was 117.2 per cent of the 1918 output, or 1895 per cent of the 5-year average, being placed at 10,390.000 tons."
 It sounds well, but what has be- come of the sugar? The people of the United States don't seem to be able to get it, even at the 20-cent price O. k.'d by the equalization board which the president has continued in office so that "his people" may not be exploited!

SOLDIER AND GIRL
 MAY BE DEPORTED

Henry O'Brien, former British sol- dier, indicted by the federal grand jury on the charge of violation of the act in bringing Vera Mort to America from England for immoral purposes, was arraigned before Judge David P Dyer, at Phoenix. O'Brien entered a plea of not guilty and his case was set for trial on March 2.
 The O'Brien case has been in the public eye for several weeks. It first came to notice when the former sol- dier was shot by Dr. T. F. Campbell of Wickenburg. The girl formerly was an artists model in London, where she met O'Brien. Campbell, her 60- year-old admirer, was arrested on the charge of assault with intent to com- init murder and his case is now pend- ing in the superior court. That the girl sought his protection from O. Brien is alleged to be the story told by Campbell, although she claims that this is untrue The girl, who is only 20, declares that she believes in trial marriages and that she refused to marry O'Brien when he asked her, but agreed to come to the states with him.
 q love him like brother" she said shortly after her arrest, in speaking of O'Brien.
 The Mort girl says she has been loved by many men, but that she never wished to marry. Long ago, she says, her mother advised her not to marry. Her one fear is of being deported, for both the girl and O'Brien are bitterly opposed to returning to England.

LIFE TERRIER, ESCAPING,
 KILLED BY JOE LAYTON

Joe Layton, formerly guard at the Arizona penitentiary, killed an es- caped convict, No. 5279, life termer,. last week.
 Layton, who is now deputy assessor at Stafford, met the man on the road near Ft. Thomas. The convict was about to accept ride in Layton's au- tomobile but ran away in the brush when he recognized the former prison guard. Heading a small posse in search for the convict Layton en- countered the man on the Arizona Eastern railroad four miles east of Stafford. The latter ran when called upon to surrender and was killed after an attempt to stop him with number of shots, fired to scare him, failed to bring him to a halt. The convict's name was not known in Stafford.

REAL COMMUNITY BUILDING

Consider the tumbleweed and the oak.
 For the tumbeweed grows green. It fouishes
 spring and summer Then the fall and the early gales of winter. What of the tubeweed? Hther and yon flies the praes the sport of every vagrant breeze No wind too light to stir it, obstruction too small to halt it.
 Bu does the oak go swing around moving part of the autunnal landscape? Not that any has noticed The oak stays put roots deep in the soil It member of cred the winds of winter together.
 The turnbleweed purpose if it calls attention to the permanence of the oak and drives home the fact that the practice of roofing deep into the soil has its virtues
 In these times there to be great many of the tnbeweed variety being swept hither and thther There many tumbeweeds scuyng about that the oaks may be overlooked Start to count them though and there plenty of oaksmen who have struck their roots deep into their home soil
 One of the present day problems is whether it is worth while to attempt the task of increasing the number of oaks and decreasing the number of tumbeweeds The first thing to be noticed about the oak is that it of slow growth does not spring up in day. The next thing is that it tablishes itself by taking root.
 Community building oak growing. Raising colonies of turnbeweeds will not do the trick.
 Before begin to root deeply in community they must have abiding interest in it. That community must be than chance fence into which they have been whred. Too many communities simply stopping places for the people that live in them In driving home the fact that community building brought about by real community life is constructive work, the present day Community Service movement has performed distinct service Con- munty building means oaks lack of it means more tumbeweeds.

BABY GIRL LEFT ON

For the first time in the records of the police of Tucson, the age-old act of leaving baby on a front doorstep was performed in that city last week. A baby girl, only a few weeks old, was found by Dr. N. O. Lynn on the door steps of his residence.
 Mrs. Monte Montgomery has taken charge of the baby, and if the police are unable to find it's parents she will adopt it. Chief of Police Bailey said it is the first time in the records of the police that such an incident has oc- cured,

Some belated nursery lore:

SOIHt DeIdItU HUTstTy IOTe.
 One of the most persistent legends of Nursery Lore concerns a certain king, who, it seems, had taste for pot-pies. One day some person--from Doney Park, most likely, shot two dozen blackbirds and sent them over to the king, who forthwith took them to the Confection Den and had them baked. In due course the pie was on the table, and the king, it is related, was much pleased. But as he lifted the lid (kings in those days frequent ly lifted the lid; but we'll bet if Rube Neill had been around then that king wouldn't) the birds began to sing. Concerning this story, we merely deny

 Once inawhile we get an advertise ment from an advertiser who wants us to print long article, that has no news value whatever, free. And he is hurt when we refuse.
 The Sun does not-nor does any other real, self-respecting newspaper do business in that way. We treat all advertisers alike. The man who buys an advertisement gets full value for his.money in the printing of that advertisement. He shouldn't expect us to throw in a big lot of space any more than he should expect every time he buys pound of meat to have the grocer throw in pound of butter.

SENATOR TONY JOHNS PAYS
 A VISIT TO KINGMAN

Tony Johns, president of the sen- ate, was Kingman visitor this week, coming in Thursday night and leaving for the east on the noon train Friday.
 Johns is returning from a trip to the San Jauquin Valley in California where he purchased 5000 marino ewes and lambs for his Arizona herds.
 He says they will start shearing at McConnico sometime next week and that he will be back in the county within a week or so.-Kingman Miner.

Cy Bendorf says he knews man so mean that he's got all our other meanest men beaten a mile. Cy's meanest man lives in California. Each night he gives his children penny each to go to bed without their sup per. After they are asleep he steals the pennies. Then, in the morning, he licks them for losing the pennies and sends them to school without any breakfast.
 Frank Sufea says while he was in California recently he went up to Venice and paid 25 cents to see wrestling match between a pair of trained fleas. He's sore yet because the fieas were so small he couldn't see them.
 Frank says he's wrastled with fieas himself that were big enough to see and he can't understand why the snowman didn't train that kind.
 Old winters blasts around me blow, and my rheumatics pain me so, that, pondering on them, I've a mind, to seek me out some calmer kind of weather. With my good pals, I'd like to be beside some placid tropic sea. Meath balmy skies we'd make our home, and, hand in hand, we'd gaily roam-together. Whene'er it snows and blows like this I'd fall upon the neck and kiss the Genii who, with magic wand, would spirit me afar be- yond (Dunn says 1 ought to make that "beyand" to make it rhyme; but I'm writing this-he ain't) the 'quator, where girls in grasses do the "kootch" and men, in glasses, serve you "hootch."

We have heard-and so, mayhap have you--of birds who sang over much when stew ed, and possibly when they were roast ed upon arriving home; but when baked, NEVER!
