THE LURE OF THE WHITE LIGHTS
The United States Census shows that
one-fourth of the folks in the United
States now live in cities of over 1907
600 inhabitants. There are now sixty
six cities Of that character in this coun-
try. In the, ten years since the 1910
census, more than 100000 people
who before that lived in small COM
munities, have gone to cities of 1907
600 or more. On the other hand, the
large cities have not lost so largely of
their population, and every time the
Director of the Census puts out new
bunch of figures they show that the
lure of the white lights constantly adds
to the number Of recruits gathered
from the small towns and farming dis
tricts.

Boost and the world boosts with you,
Boost and the world boosts with you,
Knock and you're on the shelf,
For the booster gets sick of the man

But get up and boost again.

If the oil producers, by lack of stor-
age capacity, pipe lines, tankers or
other means of transportation are in
capacitated from drawing upon the
full capacity OF their wells their prob
lem would not be solved by boring
new wells, which would only increase
the present overcapacity.
The Mexican Government is not
preventing the production or the ex-
portation of oil by any owners there
of, and while on four or six cases it
has been deemed expedient to exact
compliance from those who have dis
regarded the laws and regulations
bearing on the boring of wells, there
is no cause to fear a shortage of Mex
lean oil supply attributable to any
action of the Mexican Government.
The shortage may be caused by oil
producers or by transportation COM
panies who cannot or do not wish to
ship this article out of Mexico.

THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER

The Association of Oil Producers
in Mexico issued the following state
ment which was published in the
Washington and New York press on
the goth
'The potential production of fuel
oil in Mexico has no more to do with
the Mexican fuel oil supply available
to American transport and industries
than the potential coal production of
the United States had to do with the
recent shortage of coal.
Millions of tons of coal underground
will not turn the wheels of industrg
or heat houses and millions of bar
Iels of petroleum underground in Mex
leo will not drive American ships at
sea. The Mexican Government has pre-
vented the production of this oil by
American owners through defiant con-
fiscation on their properties. This
is not denied by the Mexican Embas-
sy statement, which seeks to befog the
real issue by the phrase potential
production.
For the information of the Ameri-
can people the Mexican Embassy pre-
ents the following succinct facts:
The potential capacity of the 80
oil producing wells in Mexico at this
date is of 100000 barrels per day
out of which about 100000 barrels or
a little over 10 per cent are being
extracted daily for expectation and
home consumption.
These figures show a margin of
about 1,7SO,OO0 barrels per day to
valves of the wells.

Because there has been let up in
progress in some of the localities in
Arizona during the past year since the
ending of the world war conflict is not
reason for pessimism or doubt as to
the future of this state. 1t is destin-
ed to become one of the richest in
the west. Already it is and for sew
eral years has been producing more
copper than any other equal area in
the world; copper is the one metal
which is necessary to the progress of
every country.
The copper industry is in a discour-
aging state now, it is true, but the in
Gustry has been depressing days in
the past. but always it has recovered
and reached a new pennacle of prosper
ity because of a season of depression.
That proves that the world cannot

progress without copper. When cop
per buying stops, then progress stops
in the country and in the world; when
progress is resumed then Immediately
copper is demanded with bigger nee
essity than ever Arizona's copper
is guarantee of the future prosper
ity of the state.
But Arizona has other precious met
ais than copper to add to the guaran-
tee of our future good times. Silver
mines exist in almost every section
of the state and in these silver mines
more or less gold is found.
Then there is the new cotton indus,
try of the state which has sprung UP
wonderfully in recent years and which
accounts for the great prosperity now
enjoyed in the Yuma Valley on. the
Colorado.
Then again the stock industry of
Arizona is a great bulwark of support
for our other industries. The fine
rains of the past summer has produc-
ed splendid grass crops in every sec
ton of the state and cattle, sheep and
hogs were never in better condition
and are commanding satisfactory pric-
es.
Arizonians only have to sit steady
in the boat and continue the work Of
developing and inviting others to
come and join in the development of
our great resources and they will
see increasing prosperity crown, their
efforts from day to day, from month
to month and from year to year.

We should remember that all forms

preston are upon the horizon of the

avenues of foreign trade opened and

essential that every American citizen

use his best efforts to encourage and
steady his fellow citizen.
We must not forget that in order
to bring prosperity and success, it is
up to each of us to work honestly and
conscientiously because, success, eth

result of the combined effort of the

Finds Crow is Both Friend and
Nuisance to Farmers
That the crows character is not so
black as it is usually painted is dis
closed by investigations made by the
Bureau of Biological Survey of the
United States Department OF Agricul-
ture. In fact, the departments bird
men" say that much of the work the
crow does is of direct assistance to
the farmer, for Mister Crow" wages
warfare all summer long on insect
pests. In fact, insects supply about
one-fifth of it's food, and those which
he prefers in his diet are the worst
insect pests the farmer has to contend
-grasshoppers, caterpillars, and
white grubs and their parents, May
beetles.
On the other hand, the crow raids
the cornfield and the poultry yard, and
kills small wild birds and destroys
their nests. From the evidence at
hand the crows merits and shortcom-
ings appear about equally divided.
While it would not be we'll to give if
absolute protection and thus afford
the farmer no recourse when the bird
| is doing damage, the Bureau of Biolo-
gical Survey believes that to adopt
the policy of killing every crow that
comes within gunshot would be equal
ly unwise.
Communities Should Build Sweet
Potato Houses

covery. The department is prepared
to tell how to make sweet-potato syrup
at home and how to use it in cookery
and candy making.
TactfuI Handling of Skunk Makes
Him Valuable on Farm
Few persons have seriously con-
sidered establishing friendly relations
with a skunk. 1t has been done in
some cases under the misrepresentation
that the animal was cat, and the re-
suits have been unpleasant. But the
Biological Survey of the United States
Department of Agriculture has investi-
gated the skunk and found him to be
the best wild animal friend the farm
er has.
Almost any farmer might have or
dozen skunks at work for him de-
stroying mice, grasshoppers, crickets,
and white grubs, and furnishing him
from $50 to 500 worth of fur year.
All that is necessary is that he respect
their dens, keep his poultry in skunk
proof yards, kill an old horse for them
every fall, and be tactful when he
meets them in the evening There is a
marked depression of the fur market
at present, but recovery to normal is
anticipated.
1t has been estimated that years
each of skunks in New York State is
worth s1,00O0OO. Only one-fifth of
them are black or short striped. If all
were of this higher grade, they would
be worth 100000. The department
suggests that preserve stocked with
black skunks would eventually double
or treble the catch of skunks in the
territory surrounding it.
