NEW LIGHT ALMOST
 GOOD AS DAYLIGHT

It is reported that a light has been perfected in Great Britain which far surpasses any existing arrangement of artificial light, and is the closest approximation to act ual daylight ever accomplish led. The apparatus consists of a high-power electric light bulb, fitted with a cup-shap- led opaque reflector, the sill vered inner side of which re- fleets the light against a parasol-shaped screen placed above the light. The screen is lined with small patches of different colors, arranged according to a formula work ed out empirically by the inventor, and carefully test ed and perfected. The light thrown down from the screen is said to show colors almost as well as in full daylight. A test was made with such articles as colored wools, Chinese channels, pastels and color prints, each being sub- jected successively to day light, ordinary electric light and the new light. Under t h e n e W light delicate yellows were quite distinct, indigo blues W ere blue, cobalts had their full value, and voilets lost the reddish shade which they display in electric light.

PAY THAT NEWSPAPER NOW

Newspapers o f Arizona are having a pretty tough pull just now owing to cost of print paper and the rail- way strike. Paper was lowering around IA cents a pound when freight trains quit running. Many papers are short of supplies and some need the money with which to pay excessive price for paper. The business world has been prosperous and this has been brought about partially through gem erous free notices published. Now is a good time for the public to show it's apprecia- tion of the newspapers by paying all bills promptly.
 It takes cash to buy paper, pay the postage and to hire printers. w e bespeak a little generosity of the press at the present time.
 Fortunately The Messeng- CT is not of debt and on a safe business basis. Some other newspapers are not so fortunate. All now need sympathy, expressed in cash payments of all bills. Mes

KEEPING YOUNG

John Walsh, 69, an ex- soldier and friend of Dan O'Leary, most famous of pedestrians, has started west on a walk across the contin- ent to San Francisco.
 "Too many men think they're done for when they approach TO-" says Walsh. They sit by the fire place and wait for death to take them. And that's when they are done for.
 ''So they begin to decline at the early age of 70. l propose to wear out, not to rust. That's why Pm walk ing" !"
 Old age IS a calamity only to the extent that men make it such for themselves. There is no sight more inspiring than the old man playing yonng.
 "The fact is," wrote Cic- gro, the Roman, .'that old age is respectable just as long asitasserts itself, main tains its proper rights and is not enslaved to anyone. "
 Cicero, himself of ripe age, described the ideal old Inan, thus: "He keeps his mind at full stretch, like a bow, and never gives into old age yby growing slack. He main tains not merely an influence but an absolute command over his family. The man who aims at this may pos sibly become old in body but in mind he never will"
 To keep his own mind in trim, Cicero studied Greek every day, and for the ex- ercise of his memory he re- peated in the evening what ever he had said, heard or done in the course of each day.
 "For a man who is always living in the midst of these studies and labors does not perceive when old age creeps upon him, "hewrote. "Thus by slow and imperceptible degrees life draws to its end. There is no sudden break age; it just slowly goes out
 A man is as old as he feels, as the saying goes. And he's as young as he thinks. = Chicago Evening Post.

KILL THIS SERPENT

Assuming that the public
 is not ignorant of the rapid
 advance being made by
 Americas greatest industry,
 the petroleum business, de-
 spite the unfavorable criti-
 cism it is receiving through
 out the country, the fact re-
 mains that millions of dol
 lars are being diverted from
 investments in oil securities
 by a well organized propa-
 ganda supported by certain
 financial interests who are
 unable or unwilling to meet
 this new giant as a competi-
 tor, says the Northwest Oil
 News. This new monster
 must be dealt with in dollars
 and cents and played on the
 table of interest. The req son for the phenomenal
 growth of the oil industry is
 apparent after reading the
 following table: The ordi-
 nary investment which pays
 a return of 6 per cent will
 require at compound interest
 twelve years to double a dol
 lar; z per cent, II years; 8I per cent, 10 years; and 4 per
 cent, paid by savings banks, will require IS years. Ad- mitting that oil investments have certain elements of speculation and risks which are not manifest in other in-
 vestments (though they are
 not free from chance), when you consider that oil invest
 ments have paid and are pay ing such profits as 200 per cent to 2,OOO per cent in 12 months, it can readily bel seen why the investingpublic is turning to oil securities as a means of increasing it's in- come. While it is ture that some of the criticism of oil stock investments is justi- fled, it would not apply to probably more than one per cent of all the oil stock of fered for sale by promotion companies in the country. The great majority of critic ism is pure slander. But this kind of propaganda can- not stem the tide that is threatening the very exis- tence of the interests advis- ing their clients to Hay off of oil stock" It is a mighty good plan for a man or wo- men working on a salary to lay aside a portion of their savings and invest it in good oil securities where there is a chance to multiply it many times over, giving them the necessary capital to start a business of their own. Ob- serve how the rich men of our country have gotten their start in life, because immensely wealthy, a n d

 their families the comforts | of this life, and follow the example set by these men. - Daily Mining Record.

walks of life, but especially in regard to education. They tell us that opportunity knocks at our door but once, and if we fail to respond the invitation is never repeated.
 To my mind, the oppor- tunity is being presented to Holbrook right now! It was my pleasure whilst at the Teachers Institute at Wins low to watch the Chemistry class at work under the di- rection of MT. Brannigan. | was very much impressed by the laboratory and equip ment, and at the timeiU flash ed upon my mind that a class such as this would be a boon to Holbrook pupils, as there are several promising science students among them. Now comes the announcement that this very person is to take charge here next year; so it will thus be possible for the students to avail them selves of his capabilities.
 THE VITAL FACTOR.
 Before I close this article I wish to bring home to the public one important fact. There are people who some times ask, Are we justified in spending much money on education in a small com munity?" Now 1 want you to get this great truth clear Iy-mothamg short of tue best IS good enough for yOatr c1sdLd- rem. There are certain out  side forces over which you have no control, which will prevent you from getting the very best teachers on your staff, but it is your duty to your children to secure the best that are available. Everyone knows that it is a difficult matter to establish new projects in communities like this, which are far re- from the great cent CTS of industry: but that should not deter you from the attempt. Ifyou never try you will never suc- ceed.
 SAY NOT THE STRUGGLE
 NAUGHT AVAILETH.
 It would be useless for me to attempt to minimise the anxiety which is always the lot of any member of the school profession. There are times when the best and bravest of us quail, and even seek to rid ourselves of the responsibility which is upon our shoulders. Yet, to for sake our command would only increase the burden on the public, so we struggle on; striving to realize the f ollowing soul-inspiring truth:
 ''For while the tired waves vainly
 breaking.
 Seem here no painful inch to gain, Far back in creeks and inlets making,
 Comes silent, flooding in the main. And not by eastern windows only, When daylight comes. comes in the
 light,
 In front, the sun climbs slow, how
 slowly!

THE FUTURE OUTLOOK
(BY THOMAS R. wILLIAMs)

It is self-evident to any
 one who stops to think, that
 the school is the natural cen
 ter of social activity. In the
 past, the churches have held
 this position, but the out
 standing objection to this is,
 that the churches are too
 biased in their views and too
 narrow in their outlook. We
 cannot, in all fairness, ex-
 pect one of the Catholic faith
 to into ecstacies over some
 social activity of the Meth
 odist Church; nor can we reasonably demand that an
 Episcopalian interest himself in Catholic activities. But whatever faith, creed or pol itics men may hold, there is one common meeting ground
 the public school. Here for one brief spell we can sink our differences and meet in common for the public good. Interchange of ideas is necessary for progress; and the best medium for such in- terchange is the public lec- ture, the public library and the public entertainment; and in any small community the natural place for such activities is the auditorium of the public school. In the. near future therefore, let the people of Holbrook make use of their school to the fullest extent.
 THE WORRY THAT KILLS.
 When endeavoring to es-  tablish any new activity it is no argument to point out that it might be a failure. The first time that men att tempted to fly they failed miserably, but a beginning had to be made somewhere. Nor is it a strong argument to point out that in the past the project has proven a fail ure. In recent years man. kind has crossed the thresh- old of a new era, and it. might possibly be that the failure of the past will prove to be the success of the future. But as 1 have be- fore said, the secret of suc- cess in education is the teach CT; and the secret of success ful work in a teacher is con- tentment and freedom from It iscommon knowl- edge thatsome of the worlds greatest theories have been at and some of the greatest inventions have or iginated during leisure hours; as is evidenced by Sir Isaac Newton and the Theory of Gravitation, and James Watt and the Mechanical Power of Steam. !" Similarly in teaching. If the teacher is constantly worried about procuring work for the school to augment her salary, she will not be able to put forth her best efforts whilst at school. Again, if a teacher is con- vinced that she is not receiv- ing her just dues she will not be as successful as she would be otherwise. Hence,~ two off the greatest essentials in

GENERAL OIL NEWS
 FROM THE FIELD

company as announced III
 last week issue, that the
 stock was withdrawn, and
 that development would be
 pushed as fast as pos sible, has been more than substantiated by the general activity at that camp this
 week, a general overhauling of the machinery. required equipment being ordered and
 installed, additional tanks
 being placed for water for the extra tower, mark in part what is being accom- plished. Manager J a c k Warden this week put a force of men to work building a cement dam across the large canyon about 2 mile north of the Holbrook well, this work will complete what was almost a natural reservoir and when filled will have a storage capacity of a mill lion gallons or more, when filled by the heavy spring rains, the water will be piped to the well and haul ing dispensed with entirely.
 The Adamana has also been going through a gen. eral overhauling and drilling is now being faithfully pro- secuted and the recent re- port from the well would in- dicate a very flatlering show ing the bailings strongly saturated with oil. The management promises asec- ond tower soon as additional equipment is received. Man. ager Cook departed Thurs day last for brief business visit at Kingman and Oat- man.
 At the site of the Zuni everything is moving in as perfect workmanlike order as could be expected and head driller MT. Fall is reported to be making around 40 feet to the tower, a great many are of the opinion that oil at a shallow depth will be en- countered, t h e estimated depth is now close at hand and as a result. every one is standing on their tip toes, eagerly watching and be- lieving that Arizona's- first commercial well is at hand.
 Jim Wolfe, superintendent of the Apache with QuinceI Gardner say that their pre- sent fishing trouble is at end and that from now on they too will be in the line of completion to see who will be the first to hail the glad tidings that the Holbrook field has been proven and the endorsement given to it by eminent men who guard their professional statements with a jealous care, have not been in vain. With the Hol- brook Oil, Zuni, Apache, Adamana and Black Canyon drilling away, all of them having weathered the storms disappointment, and obsta- cles that are so common to a new field, with the spring season at hand is it any wonder that the spirit of optimsim prevails; doubtless that are large deals pending that are being with held from the public and it is also believed that the magnitude of the connection that cer-

WEIsENGOFF GETS IA MONTHS
With Fine of $1,000 Imposed for Death
of Sheriff Davis of Keyser.

Peter Weisengoff, former saloon
keeper of Westernport, Md, indicted
for the murder of Sheriff Donald P.
Davis, of Keyser, West Va, was con-
victed of involuntary manslaughter at
his second trial at Petersburg, West
Va, which was concluded on Saturday
last. The case was removed from Min
eral county following a writ of error
granted by the Supreme Court of APP
peals.
WelsengoH was sentenced by Judge
Francis NJ. Reynolds to IA months in
Jail at Keyser and to pay fine of
$4,000. Upon his previous conviction
for second degree murder he had been
given ten years in the penitentiary.
His appea Twas granted on the ground
that he had been refused a change of
venue, declaring that the feeling
against him excluded fair trial at
Keyser. Weisengotf has entered upon
his sentence at Keyser.
He is native of Russia who land
ed in Philadelphia in 1905. After
spending seven months there he went
to Luke, Md, where he was employed
by the West Virginia Pulp and Paper
Company until 1918, when he started
in the saloon business and made a
fortune, due largely to West Virginia,
which is just across the river, being
dry" 1t was for an infraction of the
prohibition laws of the state that
Sheriff Davis sought to arrest Weisen-
golf two years ago as he was driving
in his automobile with his children
through Piedmont. Sheriff Davis
jumped on the running board and in
the struggle for the wheel the ma
chine was wrecked and Davis was
killed. The State charged that Weis-
engoff deliberately wrecked the ma
chine, based on threats alleged to have
been made by Weisengof.
The case has cost Weisengoff, it is
estimated, at least $4,000. Mrs. Da-
Wis, widow of the Sheriff, recovered
$4,000 damages from him in the U.
