FIGURED IN HISTORIC PAST
Representation Of Monarch Of the
Time of Abraham Now IN
Pennsylvania Museum.

In the dim old days of the patriarch
Abraham people looked very much as
they do now, Judging from the Oldest
representation Of human figures I'M
earthed by the toiling brotherhood OF
psychologists. Two striking figures,
one standing and one seated, are in
Guided in the elaborate design of the
clay seal, or postage stamp" which
has excited the enthusiasm of DR.. Le-
grain, curator of the Babylonian Sec
ton of the University Of Pennsylvania
museum.
DR.. Legrain has figured out the in
scriptions of the little tablet as indi-
eating that it dates from the period
when Our of the Chaldees,' mentioned
in Genesis in connection with the his
tory Of Abraham, was a f1ourishing
kingdom. And he finds reason to be-
lleve that the seated figure, decorated
with f1ounces Of beautiful accordion
plating, is a portrait Of his majesty
Ibi-Sin, the last king Of Ur and pos
sIbly an intimate friend of the Father
Of Israel. 3 ... -.
To the modern eye both figures are
remarkably we'll drawn and lifelike
In attitude. especially considering the
fact that they were modelled in clay
on very small scale. DR.. Legrain
thinks the tablet served the double
purpose of a seal and a postage stamp
on sack of money forwarded to a
banker named Shulpae by his rever-

Advice to the Farmer.

the various departments Of govern
ment can determine Just what material
which they send out in*public print
form is the, best worth while. or
course, from somessalticles theyesget
large returns IN Comment from. tile

However, there are certain elements iii
the community which rarely write Lett
ters, notably the individual farmers
If the farmers of the country find
that they are particularly interested in
some line Of governmental ,publica-
tons the wisest course for them to
pursue, If they want the printing on
the subject to continue, is to write let
tiers of interest and commentator to
the Agricultural department.. This
probably will insure the continued
publication of particularly interesting
material.
A large amount of the printed mat
ter which goes from the government to
the country is educational in it's scope.
All of it is intended so to be, but there
are men in the government depart
ments. as there are men in congress,
who yield to the desire occasionally
to air their own views without much
regard to the probabilities or possibili-
ties that their views may be of no in:

Names Traced to Chinese.

Many names of cities, mountains

Pacific coast, which have general!
been regarded as Indian Names are
really of Chinese origin, according to
a writer in the New York Herald
Even the names of the state of Utah
and Nevada are of Chinese origin. he
says. "Pe" or "Pie" means north in
Chinese; therefore the Pieute Indians
were merely the North Ute indians.

By actual count up to and includ- ing Sunday, May 15. 1,030 entries were received in the Arizona Republi- can-Chamber of Commerce slogan design contest. which came to a close Sunday night at midnight. Since then. probably 75 additional entries have been received. Judging of the entries has already been started by the advertising committee of the chamber of commerce and the names of the winners will be printed in Sundays Arizona Republican, May %
 Although the contest was restricted to residents of Arizona only. entries were received from four states. Resi- Texas also participated. Of course their entries will not be considered by the judges in awarding the prize mon ey as the contest rules plainly stipu- lated that only residents of Arizona would be eligible.
 Tripiets Make Entries
 The youngest contestants in the slogan contest were triplets, 8 years old. Each submitted at least one entry. In the design contest. the youngest entrant was 10 years old It can be said that. age considered these youngsters did remarkably well, their efforts comparing favorably with those. submitted by older and more experienced entrants

A great many of these Russian farmers made a com plete crop failure and have become so hopelessly involved in debt that they have abandoned their property and have left the state This condi- ton also applies to numerous Ameri- cans, who were tenant farmers or who had bought land under contrac ct and who were similarly favored by the bank. They also made a failure of their cotton crops. have abandoned their property and left for parts un- known"

One of the most gratifying features number of boosters developed It seemed that every entrant whether a resident of Phoenix. Douglas or King man, was a 100 per cent booster for Phoenix and the Salt River valley.
 Among the designs were bits of work that really would do justice to professional artists or designers. Maybe. some of these entries were submitted by professionals-the con- test was open to their number as well as to the amateurs. Contest judges frankly admitted that they had as stunned real task in deciding the winners of these contests, so evenly matched were the entries.
 Clever Art Work
 The design contest brought to the attention of the judges some of the cleverest art work they had ever be- held they said Designs in black and white, in elaborate color schemes de- signs that incorporated products of the soil the mine and the plant, were received.
 Altogether a total of 165 designs. a big majority of them artistically done. were received by the contest editor. Of this number, Phoenieians contributed 13e and residents i1 other cities and state contributed 26.
 The slogan contest was equally as productive of genius. Many of the slogans were in verse, some were in prose and still others were done to art. Many contestants submitted three or four entries while one enter prising southside resident contributed r slogans to the entry list.
 Wealth of Ideas
 Many ideas were encompassed in the slogans; in fact there seemed to be no end to the material available as a Phoenix and Salt River valley slogan. The health giving qualities of the climate. the wealth of the soil and the general prosperity seemed to be ideas most popular with the en- trants.
 A great many of the entries in the slogan contest urged or advocated a change of name for the valley. The Salt River valley, they pointed out was hardly a name that would appeal to the unacquainted It implies a valley of salt, they said and salt is only good for seasoning purpose; it will not produce good crops nor give health or prosperity to the people Land community, the entrants empha- sized.

but a slight chance of recovering even a small equity from the sale of the cotton, the report states. It adds that a number of tenant farmers obtained large sums in this manner and some obtained funds merely on the security of the lease of the land they had rented.

cents on the dollar. He states that the entire amount of the banks lia- bilitles have an estimated value of 5063 per cent, from which the cost of receivership must be deducted.
 Notes Are Chased
 Notes held by the bank total sl91,- 15I.sS and are divided into five classes:
 Class 1-(Collectible in six to F months)-s14.91943
 Class 2-(Collectible in one to two years)-s42 ,941.55.
 Class 3-(Collectible in time at I5 per cenD-S17.2 7.24S.3S-
 Class 4-(Collectible in time at small per cent)-S75. 592.T0.
 Class 5-(Uncollectible)- .455-e2. !.
 These notes have an estimated value of $93.475.09, entailing a total loss of s103 6S2.S9.
 In his report the receiver charges the management of the bank with gross carslessneSS in obtaining ade- quate security and an overconfidence in the ability of the borrower to pay. He further stated that an examina- ton of the notes in his possession as we'll as the notes which were hypoth- coated as collateral security for money borrowed revealed a condition of insecurity of the bank assets as would indicate an almost total lack of information as to the real moral worth and financial responsibility of the borrower.
 Many loans were made without any security whatever, according to the report, which states:
