course Of an Italian Journey, one Of

Of interest do they open to the mind.
Having fixed on her scheme she re-
turned to Florence, visiting the old

seeking to impregnate herself with the
spirit Of the venerable city. But she
was still far from her goal When,
on her return home, she at last set to

Most men of high destinies have high sounding names. Pym and Haba kuk may be pretty well, but they must not think to cope with the CrOmWellS and Isaiahs And you could not find better case in point thai that of the English admlrals. Drake and ROOke and Hawke are picked names for men of execution. FrObisher, Rodney, Bos- cawen, FOul-Wather, Jack Byron are all good to catch the eye in a page of naval history. Cloudesley Shovel is a mouthful of quaint and sounding syllables. Benbow has bulldog qual- lty that suits the mans character, and It. takes us back to those English arch CTS who were. his true comrades for plainness, tenacity and pluck. Ra- leigh is spirited and martial, and sig nifies an act of bold conduct in the field. .-"Virginibus Puerisque," by Louis Stevenson.

WILL LEASE PROPERTY

The Jim Butler Tonopah Mining company has suspended all company work with the exception of small amount on the 900 level, the balance of the property going to leasers. This was one of the large producers of the Tonopah, Nevada, district, which paid dividends during the low priced silver. It is a sad common tary on mining when a mine has to deplete it's reserves at a time when the product is so low that nothing really could be made from it's produc- tion. While the Jim Butler is only one mine in point, there are many others that have lost heavily through a failure to standarize the selling of silver. Undoubtedly the smelters could have maintained the price of silver had they seen fit, but they were only after the big rakeoff in shelter charges, and the lower the price of metals the better it was for them as their investment in ores would be low.

ANOTHER OIL co.
 IN VERDE VALLEY

Another oil company has made it's appearance from the Verde valley and it is probable that many people will be separated from their good coin by these oily-tongued promoters. The Chino valley was a productive field for these fellows and now another field of the same character is to be invaded. No one would object if these gentry would put a portion of the money obtained from the public into development, but the fact it that more than ninety per cent of it goes into the pockets of the promoters. When the Chino companies were organized the shares were turned over to the company at 2 1-2 per share and the holding company sold the shares for whatever they saw fit, although the parent company under no circum- stances got more than the agreed price. And even then the parent com pany had to stand the office expense and advertising out of its poor share of the proceeds. It is said that one Chino oil company sold over $2OO, ,OOO worth of stock, but the parent cor poration received less than $11 ,O00 of this amount.

DEWATER|NC KENNEDY
 AND ARCONAUT MINES

Under an agreement with the Argo- naut Mines Company, whereby the latter will bear all expenses, the Ken nedy Company has started dewater- ing its property. This work will greatly aid the Argonaut company in clearing the bottom levels of both mines and will facilitate resumption of mining in the deep Argonaut levels much earlier than scheduled.
 The Kennedy Company recently suspended all wark at it's property be- cause of the expense attending de watering and the unfavorable position of the gold market. The Argonaut company is anxious to clear all 'ts workings and resume mining or the 4S0-foot level, where high-grade ore was disclosed shortly before the fire forced the flooding of the workings.

 Person

It's great, the "Thank You" club. No initiation, no dues, no long-drawn. out meetings, and no reports. Anyone can make quorum to do business. No stated meetings nor any stipulated place of meeting. Anybody can start "Thank You" club. Beats Overall clubs all to pieces Lasts longer, does more good, and spreads sunshine.
 One carries the bylaws around in his head. The password Is Thank You" And that's all there is in the whole book of rules. That's all 1t means, the "Thank You" club-just thank you for the little services per formed daily as we'll as the big ones. A thank you is more appreciated by many people than a tip, which, by some, might be considered an insult.
 Start a club some morning. Watch your club grow. Good ideas spread. Try the club for one day. It may make you a life member And the thank you" exchanges will increase and radi- ate like ripples from stone thrown into the millpond.
 There's big field in this world for '"Thank You" clubs. Their members take the edge off rough places. If '"Thank You" Is the password, the genuine smile of service Is the open reward for its applicatiOn.-Haverhill Gazette.

SHOW LOCATION OF WATER
Signs on Painted Desert in the Sosth- west Guide Travellers to the
 Precious Liquid.

Travel off the beaten paths in the famous Painted desert of the South west would be dangerous matter were it not for the stone sentinels set up by the Navajo Indians to direct the stranger travelling through that coun- try, where once there was water in plenty, but where now are only the dry beds of rivers.
 These Sentinels are piles of rocks, as high as man. located on rises of ground where they may be readily seen. In the body of the monument is placed projecting rock which is arranged to point the direction to the nearest spring or waterhole. If one follows the direction indicated, al though he may have to proceed con siderable distance, the precious wa ter will always be found. ,..
 Frequently 1t is only a very weak seep supplying no more than few cups in an hour. Or 1t may be a pool located deep in the recesses of a rocky ledge and collected from the snows of the past winter. Sometimes 1t is situated in an !out-of-the.way place, and then there may be two, or even three smaller monuments erect ed along the route designated. s..
 Also along the way there may be arrows cut in the rocks or crooked grooves symbolizing the windings of brook or signs of various kinds which will attract attention. These directions all help to make the way palmer and reduce the chance of the traveller becoming confused.

NEW yoax pvys Up TING pAas.

The New York legislative assembly
has held up ths application Of Ave So
cialist members of that body on the
ground that their socialistic faith Is
OF such character that it makes them
disloyal TO the government of which
they have been elected TO be part.
Here Is the question in issue In
these cases as the New York assembly
sees It: No man can be counted loyal
TO our constitution and flag who advo-
Gates their destruction thru revolu-
ton. No man can be counted loyal
to the government under our consti-
tuaion and laws who refuses whea
that government is Threatened with
disaster to lend a hand in its protec-
ton.
The fact that these men have beon
denied admission TO this assembly will
be helpful to the whole country. It
will tend to clarity and establish the
principle of loyalty. In Il like manner
it will assist TO define disloyalty.

TINE SILENT POLICY FOR slAckERs.

Some writer in a popular periodical
some months ago advocated utter ST.
lence Us the proper punishment of a
Stacker member OF congress. 1t was
a good story and the reading public
were not deceived by the fictitious
names given the legislator in the
story.
1t Is a suggestion that might well be
considered by the press when pugil-
istic promoters seek publicity for a
fighter who however well he fights for
money in the ring carefully avoided
fighting Germans in war. Just why
the newspapers and the people should
with such apparent willingness and
even enthusiasm strive to exploit a
Stacker and assist towards a gate of
half a million or more to make a war
dodger wealthy is not evident. 1t can
be understood how French soldier
might be willing to meet such man
in the ring when the meeting means
compence and even wealth to the
poilu but why should a people who
sent nearly i've millions Of its sons TO
