MIRACLES
BY OR. FRANK CRANE fCopyright. 1921. by Frank Cranel

The world is full of them. Life is crowded with them In fact it is wholly miraculous world and fe itself is the greatest of all miracles.
 Multiplying one Irish potato and making dozen out of it, by putting it in the ground is quite ing as the multiplication of the loaves and fishes.
 And what Hindoo trick equal the farmers, who takes handful of wheat and scatters it on the good brown earth and by and by back and reaps bushel?
 Turning water into wine was a thing that sur prised the guests at the wedding in Cana but is it any astounding than to stick dry twg in the ground and make it bear grapes from which wine is pressed? There nfides. Infides is just polemic termS It is an epithet in the game of arguing, which, as other games, IS diverting but arrives nowhere
 Everybody believes in God, though he may not that name.
 God is simply label which we apply to that mys- teri0uS Someone Something that is behind, and causes those things call Forces
 Whoever plants seed, begets child, sends tele- gram drives automobile, believes in and relies upon cooperative Force which Force he cafl use but the nature thereof he in no degree understands
 We are all handling Mystery every moment The great Spirit brushes against at every turn @
 We sink at night into the miracle of sleep and at morning greet the miracle of reviving consciousness, which is quite wonderful as being born.
 We take food, and lean God to perform the miracle of changing 1t into bone and muscle.
 The doctor gives us pills which miraculously alay our fever.

The Best Week In Months

The past week has been the best the Salt River Valley has had in year. It has brought such accession of cheerfulness and hopefuness we not felt in many a month, though we had never given to melancholy and depression. great confidence in the valley and it's future We al- ways light ahead and knew ing out into it. But not quite prepared for such a sunburst the week brought.
 And yet might have expected some such de- veopments In the local cotton situation been shown. We were already informed that the reserve stocks of short staple cotton mills were lower for some weeks reflected in the market though there may have appeared some froth of speculation. But below that there was solidity at a high level
 There is a natural relation between the prices of short staple and long staple cotton, which though reasonably expected that it would be restored and the restoration appears to be taking place
 The long staple cotton movement is not yet in full swing and te prices though they have materially advanced within the past have perhaps not yet reached the top though they already higher than even the sanguine holders have expected within the last nine months
 It perhaps not likely that the price will at any time be high as to save all the growers of last years crop from loss but 1t is certain that their losses win be greatly minmized and t 4s equally that the growers of the present crop with the lower expenses growing picking and ginning, will make money
 Elation over the situation disciosed within the last week is natural and justifiabe, but 1t should not be carried to the point of exaggeration We should be unreasonably expectant.

 Jitney Hoboes and Pirates
 Next comes a very rusty and de- crepit- looking machine with a couple of overalled men in it. These may belong to one of several classes. There are large numbers of floating laborers now who go from place to place along the main roads looking for work. News of lucrative work in harvest fields or lumber camp may send them a thousand miles in a few days. They always camp, pay no rent, and their food costs them little. They enjoy a free and inter- esting life and work not more than good fellows, ready to help you if you are stuck in mudhole. Others are thieves, always ready to steal tires or any other equipment that may be lying around loose. There is a well recognized class of these jitney pirates. You hear tales of their depredations all along the road. There are some armed highwaymen, | too. The fayorite ruse of these is hides his own car and tramps along the road. feigning the part of the footsore wayfarer. He hIils cars that pass. preferring those that con- tain only one man. Always sooner or later someone compassionately | picks him up. This dialogue fol- lowed in one instance:
 Could you give me cigarette"
 Driver stops and pulls out box of | cigarettes.
 "Match?"
 Autoist gives him match.
 Now give me your roll!" Autoist,. who was just about to | start his car, turns in surprise and finds himself looking down the bar rel of a gun, one inch from his head
 He passes over his pocketbook and watch.
 l Now start your car."
 He does The bandit steps from l the running board with polite nod and smile of thanks.
 Don't stop" is his final order. l So the road is not without its | perils. But don't shun it on that
 account. It is no more perilous really than living at home And the road Is romance and adventure and fresh air and health. Here the jit- | ney of the poor man, working his way. is as welcome as the limousine of the millionaire. Water. wood and scenery are free to them all Let

 The newspaper business used to be very much like other enterprises -unorganized. Each newspa- per was for itself working independently of other newspapers. There were exchanges Of views no swapping of experience. cooperation and for the most part. little definite aim
 We have better times through inter dependence and team work. The newspapers have pruted by their readers and advertisers have : received even a greater measure of profit.
