ASSCC[A-
 TON CONTINUES FIGHT

The fight being waged by the Northern Arizona Protective Association, composed of Stock men from Coconino, YavapaT and Mohave Counties, against the Santa Fe to secure patent to 1,173,O0O acres of public do- main lands is gaining force each day. The membership is stead fly increasing and the work has been organized.
 The association has been ex- tremely fortunate in securing the services of MT. Robert E. Morrison, prominent Prescott lawyer, as we'll as the best land attorney in Washington, D. C. The method of handling the contest in the interests of live stock industry in Northern Ar lzona, has been definitely out lined and definite action has already been taken.
 One development of this pro posed Hand grab" indicates the foresight of. the insiders. It is recognized that the Colorado, River will soon be harnessed and then cheap hydro-eIectrie power will be available in northern Arizona. This power will make possible the pump ing of sufficient water to irri- gate all of the agricultural land in that wonderful stretch of val ley between Blackberry and Kingman. Arizonans have am ply demonstrated what water will do. With all of these landa in private ownership, the legiti- mate homesteader will be fore ed to pay tribute to the monop- olists who hope to control the area in question.
 The time has come for the people of Arizona to wake up to a realization of just what is being attempted. They can prevent the acquisition of these lands-over one million acres and hereby aid the future de velopmentaof the state by home Steaders and insure the contin- uance of the livestock business in the northern part of the state. To understand just what is at stake, it is only ne cessary to state that over twen- ty thousand head of cattle and twenty thousand head of sheep are dependent on public do-- main range in the winter in that territory extending between Ash Fork and Williams on the south and the Grand Canyon on the north. If this range passes to private ownership. this livestock will be sacrificed.
 One very prominent cattle man from Coconino County said: ''I have everything to gain and nothing to lose by throw ing my unqualified support to the associations fight. We are in it to the land. If I do not en- ter the fight, I will be forced out of business in less than two years time. I figure that by means of this organized fight. 1 have better than an even break to continue in the cattle business. This proposed Hand grab" is absolutely the worst proposition I have encountered during the past fifteen years" "
 In order to get in touch with possible new members, the as sociation has opened an office which can be addressed at Box 625, Williams, Arizona. MT. B. F. Sweetwood, Sec.-Treas., in charpe

AS an old correspondent of yours on

me to put in a word with reference to
your editorial article on "F'luid Colds

triangular readjustment of interna-
tional banking the gold which we sent
to the Orient India and China) may
find its way to London" This view, a
most dangerous misconception. has al
ready proved the parent of infinite dis
aster. Since in 1898, and in defiance
Of every warning, England changed
the standard of value in India from
silver to gold. we have pitched 250,-
100000 gold sovereigns into the small

SIGNIFICANT Fossil Remains.

The question of the origin of the
West Indies will be decided, scientists
aver. when the indigenous animal life
l., found to be related indisputably to
that of the South and Central Ameri-
can mainland. But mammals, which,
being wingless, could not have flown
over the intervening seas, are unfor-
tunately the most poorly represented
group of the higher life of the Antilles.
For this reason much scientific inter
est attaches to a recent expedition to
Jamaica, backed by the American Mu-
scum of Natural History, asserts an
article in Popular Mechanics Maya
zine. Believing that the West Indies
once had much larger mammal in
habitatlon than today. the expedition
concerned itself with the excavation
of fossil fauna from the Islands lime
stone caves. Many fossils were found
several of them new to science.

Gasoline Consumption.

Approximately ten gallons of gaso-
line are burned in automobiles in an
hour in one block in North Meridian
street on a Sunday evening, a statis-
tically-inclined observer calculated af-
ter counting the passing machines.
The observer, not being an auto
owner himself, sat in University park
and noted that it took approximately
four minutes for 100 machines to pass
in Meridian street. If this average is
kept up, he. deduced, some 1900 cars
would scoot past the given point in an
hour. Inquiry was made of the owner
of an automobile as to the average
number of miles a machine travels on
gallon of gasoline.
"Well, of course, l get 25 miles a
gallon out Of my car" the car owner
unblushingly replied. "but the average
is about Is miles a gallon"
Hence the estimate of ten gallons
of gasoline consumed each hour in the
one block of the one street.-Indian-

TABLED STATUES OF JAPAN
Interesting Legends That Are Told of
Famous Wood Carver and the
Gods of Nippon.

Unkei, the son of a fisherman. and
in his youth. an humble fisherman him
self, was responsible for one of the
most remarkable epochs in the history
Of Japanese wood sculpture, writes Ell
sic F. We'll, in Asia His name is
household word 20 the Japanese.
The story is told. by those who are
supposed to know, that the king of
the underworld was very much irri-
tated that Unkei had never done him
Justice. although the sculptor had at
tempted to carve his image many
times. So, when he died, the king
of dead Buddhist souls sent Unkei
back to earth, that after having seen
the god, he might make faithful por-
trait. The result may he seen today
In the temple Enno-ji at Kamakura,
where Unkei's statue of Emma. cruel
and savage in its strength, strikes ter
.ror into the hearts of all who fear to
meet the Judge of He'll.
There are many delightful legends
ABOUT old statues of the gods. In the
Hase temple at Kamakura, high on
the crest of hill overlooking the bay,
is great gilded Kwannon of camphor
wood--an 11-faced image of the Cod
dess of Mercy-which for centuries
has hardened to the prayers of the
fishermen. A long time ago, in that
dim past when dragons were abroad
in the land and gods condescended to
play with men, some fishermen saw a
great light shining out at sea. They
sailed in their junks toward the light
and found the image of Kwannon float
ing on the water. They dedicated a
temple to the image and ever since
have worshiped at her shrine.
AT the same time a similar image
of Kwannon, also made of camphor
wood, floated in at Yamato and was
placed in the -Hase-no-K wannon, a
temple that was the favorite resort
of courtiers in the Nara period. 1t
is still today popular temple for pill
grfms, who come in the spring, when
the cherries are in full blossom and
all the lanterns are lighted, to trans
port themselves back to the days when
the gods were young.

mind of the average man 1t has not

The British air ministry collected
statistics on all commercial flying in
that country for the last seven months
OF 1913. The results amazed even
pilots and engineers. who long had re-
garded the risk in flying as negligible.
says the New York Sun. The figures
covered $3.50 flights by 4o3 machines
OF q total time In the air of S,36S

were travelled In all this flying In

fly about 1,1S0.000 miles-forty- seven
times around the world-before becom-
ing the victim of fatal crash. That
sounds utterly absurd to tine land
sturm, yet the British government
stands back of the figures.
The pilots who tested experimental
planes did stunt flying and ran other
unnecessary risks showed AS death
per 1000 hours. as compared with the
passenger rate of .06 per 1000 hours.
Coming nearer home. figures COM
piled by the postolIice department
show to the end of last year 4G5 900
miles flown with loss of three pilots.
These pilots, Of course. ran many
risks. for they carried the mail through
rain. snow and fog that blinded them.
Even in training pilots the figures
are exceedingly low. From the be.
ginning of the war until the end of
1918 1860 men learned to fly in the
United States air service. They spent
705.243 hours in the air. One man
was killed in every 2,310 hours, or
one to about every 10000 miles. With
these positive proofs of aviafion's
safety before us, American airplane
manufacturers are going ahead build
ing planes, confident that the realiza-
ton soon will come everywhere that
man can take care of himself as sure

LANGUAGE ENRICHED BY WAR
Great Conflict May Be Said in Meas
ure to Have RevoIutionzed Our
Methods of Speech.

1t is generally admitted that the
war has revolutionized methods of
speech as 1t has revolutionized war
fare. The soldiers Of the trenches
nave added more s'Ords to the Ian
guage of simple men than would be
added in % years of peace. @Strafe.
"blighty," ''cushy"-one might fill
page with the strange language which
has come into use.
The soldiers adopt slang as does q
schoolboy, and to use slang instead of
ordinary words suggests a certain de-
also appeals to the sense of humor,
and as the soldiers become hardened to
warfare they thrust aside emotions
and talk slang to avoid the old forms
of speech which might cause them to
think too much.
The American who called GENE
terry. a "bone orchard" revealed a bit
of imagination and at the same time
concealed his real feelings. The SOL
der who tells you that at the moment
of danger he "crept into the tall
grass means that he slipped away
and made himself invisible-and he
has coined an image as well as a
phrase.
Together with the slang words and
phrases must be mentioned the new
words coined or old words used in
new way. A large number of words
has developed from the use of air
plane; aircraft, airman, airscout, pul-
suit plane, bombing plane. empennage
(the .stabilizing planes of the air
plane). aileron Ga lateral balancing
plane), avion, escadrille Can airplane
uniD, etc.
Other examples are the words de-
scrptive of military tactics. Some
of these are liaison (co-operation) be-
tween forces; barrage. camoufiage, lis
tening post, gas mask, gas shell.

JerusaIm cobbIers Worrying.

Jerusalem's large army of cobblers,
who have been enjoying an undreamed
of prosperity because the terrible con-
dition of the streets has kept them
busy repairing shoes, are beginning
to worry over lean days ahead. With
the British administration and the
Zionist commission engaged in improv-
ing the streets of the Holy city the
cobblers see future days of little to
do compared to the golden harvest
they are now reaping, according to
the Palestine Weekly, a new English
newspaper published in Jerusalem.
With plans under way for the estab-
lishment of shoe factories capable of
a large daily output, which will bring
shoe prices down to low level, COM
bined with the smoothness the streets
are now acquiring, the present opulent
cobblers have reason to worry over the
future, the Weekly chuckles.

WHY Rjuht Tires Wear

Most motorists have noticed that
tires on the right side of a car wear
more than those on the left side and
many ascribe this to turning corners
to the right more than to the left.
But they are wrong, asserts an ex-
pert driver. The increased wear, he
says, is caused by the pitch of the
road which throws more of the car
on the right side than on the left.
The slope of the road causes the
right rear tire to carry more weight
than the left rear. The same is true
Of the right front as against the left
front. For this reason it is advised
that tires be changed around once a
month. The order of rotation de
clared best is right rear, left rear,
right front then left front.

Get Out In the Sun.

The sun energies us to accomplish
things that by night seemed impossi-
BILE. The sun warns the heart, and
breeds the gentleness where love
springs. We cannot watch the energy
of garden life and not share it's vi
tality, neither can we watch the mir
acle that is in the yearly resurrection
Of the seed without being quickened
to wonder and belief. Light shows up
all things in their true value, and we
sorely need this wisdom Of true val
ues. In these days of mad rush for
money, position and power, the care
of mind, body and soul is given a Sec
ondary place too often. The most val
liable recreation is getting in the i'm
mediate presence of nature. If we
cannot have garden or a yard to
work in, just get out into Gods great
outdoors, where one can be baptized
with the glorious sunshine. 1t is the
sun that makes the children and the
little lambs frolic, the birds sing and
the flowers bloom.-Thrift Magazine.
