All Gamblers

We have a friend whose pro-
fession is that of a gambler All
his life he has played cards for
a livelihood poker, seven-up,
stuff, pedro or any other old
game. And he says that gamb-
ling at cards is poor business.
He has made no money at it.
He is convinced that it pays bet
ter to gamble at other things
than cards.
And at once we said to him:
But, why gamble at all?" and
he replied that we are all gamb-
lers, every last one of us; that
life itself is a gamble, and that
the success of every business
depends almost wholly on chance.
He declared that the farmer, on
whom rests our very chance to
eat, is the greatest gambler of
all, for he CANDLES with sun and
rain and things that only God
can control.
Really it is true. too, as ne
says, that we are all gamblers.
But the mistake he made was to
gamble at the wrong thing, Il
for no other reason than that ne
chose a game that kept him IN
doors. that bumped his should
ers and robbed him Of the beau
ty Of dawns and sunsets and the
wine of the morning winds.
Let us agree that the farmer
lis the greatest gambler OF all.
If a man must be gambler lei
him gamble big. Let him play
not with cards and dice but with
sun and rain and brave weather
Put a seed in the ground anC
gamble it will grow harvest
! That's a gamble worth while.

When the First Bath
Tub Came Into Use

George Hagerman, Phoenix
contracting plumber, furnishes
us with the following historical
statement concerning a staple
article of equipment in his line
of endeavor:
Adam Thompson. of Cincin-
natl, was the first man in the
U. S. to use a bathtub. This
was on Dec. 20, 1912.
The installation of the bath
tub in Mr.. Thompson's home,
and the actual use of it for bath
ing in winter, caused widespread
publicity, and the newspapers
devoted their columns to violent
discussions Of it.
Certain patriots stated that
this type of bathing was a dan
gerous luxury, designed to cor
rupt the democratic simplicity
of the republic. The medical
fraternity denounced it as dan
gerous to health, and bound to
result in ''phthisic, rheumatic
fevers. Inflammation 0 f t h e
lungs. and the whole category
Of zymonic diseases.
Legislation reflected the COM
mon feeling.
The Philadelphia comm n
council, late in 1843, considered
an ordinance prohibiting bath
ing between Nov. | and March
Is, and it failed of passage by
only two votes.
During the same year the leg
islature of Virginia laid tax of
$50 a year on all bath tubs.
Boston, early in 1845, made
bathing unlawful except or
medical advice, but the ordi-
nance was never enforced and
in 1862 it was repealed.
President Millard Fillmore in
stalled the first bath tub in the
White House in 1851.
This action broke down prac-
tically all prejudice, with the
result that by in 1860 every hote
in New York had one bath tub
and some had two and ever
three. Native American.

land, and yet we produce:
+. Twenty per cent of the worlds
supply of gold.
Twenty-Five per cent of the

Forty per cent of the worlds

We also refine 80 per cent OF

Before the war we owed other
nations FIVE billion dollars. We
have not only paid this debt, but
foreign nations now owe US ter

Soldiers and Town
a Tie in Baseball

The second baseball game of
the series between the returned
soldiers and the town team last
Friday was captured by the lat
ter score, 13 to A. The first
game, it will be remembered,
played on New Years day, was
won by the soldiers 9 to 3. Will
lis Hunt. after pitching the mi
tial contest, went on for eight
innings in the second battle,
making II innings he pitched in
the two days for the soldier
boys, and this, too, without any
practice. "Suds" Kartchner did
the receiving for Hunt. John
Crandell was in the box for the
town boys, and also had had no
previous practice, yet be pitched
a good game, and Ross Hunt
was behind the bat.
The rubber" was to have
been played Saturday but the
stormy weather put a quietus on
it, so the contest is put off in
definitely.

The Local Oil
Situation Improves

Considerable interest h a
been injected into the local oil
situation recently by the report
that oil has been found in the
Hopi we'll about eighteen miles
northwest Of Snowflake. The
Hopi oil company gave out the
information last summer that it
had oil in slightly commercial
quantities but drilling was con-
tinued by the contractor who
neither denied or affirmed the
statement. The Windriyer Re-
fning and Producing Company
of Denver had the drilling con-
tract and subsequently pulled
out of the field on account of fl
nancial difficulties in other To-
calities. The casing belonging
to the contractor was pulled
from the well and removed from
the held with the machinery,
and now comes several of the
workmen who assisted in pulling
the casing from the we'll and
state that the last several joints
removed were saturated with oil.
Judge Joseph Wakefield. an old
and respected citizen Of Taylor,
who was employed at the well
makes affidavit to the fact which
is substantiated by the state
ment of several of the other en-
ployes. This information has
been reported by rumors for sew
eral weeks but nothing definite
was known concerning it until
the publication of the Wakefield
affidavit last week.
Chemical tests of the bailings
from the Adamana we'll twelve
miles northwest of here reveal
strong traces of oil and tn e
management of the company are
highly elated with the showings.
1t is needless to say that these
showings have stimulated a re-
newed interest in t h e field.
Stock sales have increased and
the price Of land and oil claims
have advanced considerable.
(. Notwithstanding that interest
in the field has been tagging for
several weeks the prospects for
an early production never looked
as bright as at the present time,
and it will be no surprise to those
who have watched the operations
closely to see several wells
spouting oil in the local field be-
fore midsummer rolls around
again.

Interesting and True

Recent statistics covering values in the various
oil fields of West Texas show that out OF every lOO
companies started, there have been to date only i've
complete failures Seemingly the investor has 90
chances to win against only five chances OF losing.
Comparing these figures with other commercial enter
prises apparently takes the gamble absolutely out
Of oil in Texas. New oil companies in North Central
Texas are now estimated to be paying more than
60 per cent on a total Of $2O0,OOOOO0 invested.
Taken in the aggregate, this sum represents the
purchase of leases and recent development in these
new fields which only half developed are yielding
100 600 barrels of oil per day. Oilreturns show bet
