Every time he missed i'm service or his

But today he's fat and forty and his

And he's listed with the golfers and

There is age upon his shoulders, and

But he wants the pro to teach him

MAY DREDGE FOR PLACER

Again the experiment of dredging Grand River, near the mouth of the Dolores, may be undertaken, com pany to be known as the Utah Placer Mining company, having been formed for that purpose. We read that the sands of the Grand River contain gold in the quaintity of one dollar to the yard and the further sum of 46 cents platinum. Recovery is said to have been made to about 80% in the tests made. Many years ago there was a rush from Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado, as we'll as from Utah, to the Grand and San Juan rivers, where gold in pay quantities was alleged to have been found. The prospectors came back foot weary and disgusted, but does not spell lack of gold in that area when properly worked. Gold has also been found below Bluff City, on the Colorado river, and below Lees ferry, but this gold is very light and hard to handle, likened to that in the Snake river of Idaho. It is to be hoped that the new corporation will meet with success.

marble and onyx; Nevada which in it. self is treasure-house sufficient for the nation at large, and which has all ready assembled one of the finest mineral exhibits ever made by any state in the union; Utah whose hills are filled with almost unlimited and undeveloped mineral supplies, with coal and marble as a commercial back ground and with an incoming petro- leum field which is now attracting the attention of the world; Colorado, noted for gold, silver, lead, zinc, coal, phosphate, potash, and innumerable substances which have brought, and will bring, unlimited wealth to the people of that state; Wyoming, until recently practically unknown as a mineral producer, but which now oc- cupies aleading place in the petrol cum world, and whose hills are filled with iron, copper, asbestos and many other commercial substances; Oregon, with her great resources in gold, plat mum, silver and many other wealth. producing commercialized deposits; and Arizona, underlaid with wealth of copper, gold, asbestos and similar metals and minerals. .....
 Several other states are organizing committees through which participa- ton may be possible.
 Surrounding the states will appear the various exhibits of the coal pro- ducing centers, some of the exhibits being made by states officially aud some by organizations of coal pro- ducers. Mingled with these metals and coal exhibits is expected that the commercialized by-products of the various substances shown will be dem- onstrated both as to method of man. ufacture and commercial use. @
 It will be shown that copper, zinc, lead and other basic substances reach into the daily life of the nation, and an effort will be made to demonstrate the economic importance of the pro tection, development and constant pro duction from all phases of mines throughout the nation. The cost of production, the mehod of handling, the hazards in operating and methods of distribution will be illustrated so far >s is possible throughout the entire Exposition.
 There will be seven grand divisions of the Exposition, including coal and metals, construction materials, fuel, standardized machinery and equip ment, general machinery and acces- sories, safety and life saving devices, transportation, petroleum, oil shale and oil shale products, etc. 1S''

TWFNTY-FOURTH ANNUAL CONVENTION
 AMERICAN MINING CONGRESS

Chicago, Illinois, April 25.--Nation- al interest in the Twenty-fourth An nual Convention of The American Mining Congress and the National Ex- position of mines and mining machin- cry, which will open in Chicago, Mon- day, October 17th, is evidenced by the fact that already most of the metal, oil and mining states in the West have reserved space in the .Exposi- tion and are laying plans to partici- pate in what promises to be, one of the most interesting National Expo- sitions ever attempted.
 Chicago, this year, is to be the scene of the first exclusively mining show ever attempted, and the General Com mittee of Arrangements of which Hon. Francis s. Peabody, of Chicago, is Executive Chairman, is. laying Its plans along broad and compre- hensive lines for the visualization of the mining industry to the nation at large upon such basis that there will result a more definite knowledge of the importance of mining in the national program readjustment.
 The Chicago Coliseum has been leased for this mining Exposition. A great electric fountain will play its myriads of colors upon the Alaskan exhibit which will occupy the center ofthe show, and, with the mining op- orators of Alaska backed by the Gov ernor of that territory, thoroughly aroused to the importance of bringing Alaska into public notice at this time, it is expected that the Alaskan ex- hibit will be one of the most interest ing of its kind ever made in the Unit ed States. % ' .H 1
 Grouped around the great electric , fountain and the products of Amer ica's northern-most mining camps will appear the various states, including Minnesota, which will exploit her vast storehouses of iron and unlimited mil lions of tons of commercial peat; Mon tana, which although, until recently known most widely as being the great est copper producing state oh this con tinent, is now breaking into the public eye with unusual petroleum possibili- ties; Washington, with her silver and copper, her vast storehouses of mag nestle which have released the United States from commercial bondage to Austria, with the newly found copper fields and vast coal resources; Cali fornia, which first made possible the gold standard for the world through the unlimited hidden wealth of the gold in her hills, which hundreds of various minerals and non-metallifer- ous substances, with her petroleum,

A PROCLAMATION Designating Sunday, May 8th as MOTHERS DAY

A frequent recurrence to fundamen- tai principles, as has been sent forth in the Constitution of the State of Arizona, is essential to the securi- ty of individual rights and the per petuity of free government. It is also, most desirable in order that there may be preserved and clarified that true perception of values which amid the many distractions of modern life, often tends to become dimmed or to disappear from our view.
 It is most appropriate, therefore, that public recognition be given to the great debt of gratitude owing to the mothers of America. That such exists, and that it can never be repaid are automatic truths, admitted by. all, but too infrequently given expression. Even casual reflection convinces us of the fact that what our mothers have given to us, and to America, in devotion, in loving self-sacrifce, in unselfish service, can never be meas ured, much less repaid.
 As public acknowledgement there fore, of the fact that there is owing to motherhood a measure of loyalty, devotion and honor which can never be paid, as an outward and visible symbol of all that our mothers have so freely given us, and as token of our renewed resolve to strive to mea- sure up to their ideals for us, un- attainable as those ideals may be, it is meet and fitting that expression be given this great obligation, through the celebration of Mothers Day, ob- servance of which has become beau tiful and nationwide custom.
 NOW THEREFORE, I THOMAS E. CAMPBELL, Governor of Ari- zona, do, by virtue of the authority vested in me by House Concurrent Resolution Number 3, adopted by the Fifth State Legislature, hereby de signate Sunday, May the eighth, as Mothers Day, and call upon all state officials to display the flag on all state and school buildings, and the people of the state of Arizona to display the flag at their homes, lodges churches and places of business, and at other suitable places, as public expression of love and reverence for the mothers of our beloved state, and other women serving it, and as an in- spiration for better homes and closer ties between the home and the Com monwealth. It is further requested, as is the annual custom that the ser vices in the various churches of the

accepted invitations to participate in the Twenty-fourth Annual Convention of The American Mining Congress which will be held in connection with the Exposition, and it is expected that the program will be one of the most notable discussions of vital national problems ever staged in the United States.

Matter of Life and Death

A minister who guarded his morn- ing study hour very carefully told the new maid that in no circumstances were callers to be admitted-except of course, he added, in case of life and death.
 Half an hour later the maid knocked at his door.
 "A gentleman to see you, sir"
 "Why, thought I told you"
 "Yes, I told him." she replied. "but he says it's a question of life and death"
 So he went downstairs and found an insurance agent rHouston Post.

HEROIC MOTHERS

Heroism is the salt that preserves hui
manity. Not the spectacular kind that
makes the commons cape; but the I'M
known, unseen kind, done for itself alone,
for the eye of God and the satisfaction
of noble self respect. Think of the
unnoted and unnumbered acts of heroism
on the part of mothers These alone
would save the world, as ten good men
would have saved Sodom. Look land
if you seek you shall find at the number
less deeds of self sacrifice among the
poor, the self renunciations of the rich,
the helpfulness of fellow workmen, the
splendid courage of men and women that
they often conceal with sense of shame
True, friend pessimist, humanity may be
Just mud, dirt, earth; but all through it
sparkles the pure and priceless gold of
heroism,

the de-, time is at least equal to that
produced at night the specialists find
Il at one average hen produces about
go pounds of manure in a year How
ever only he night droppin@s are
available for use, rs the day droppingS
are widely scattered over the yards
and ranges. The night droppings from
1000 hens would be worth about $50
a year. AS hen manure, as it usually
is cared for, contains only about one
half its original value. the loss through
this form of neglect must be very
large for the entire country
Tie town or city Observation-Disclosures
man has two real Incentives to induce
the saving of his hen manure In the
first place his poultry house should be
kept clean if his fowls are to he
healthy and, in the second place. the
manure may be used Immediately dur
ing a large part of the year in the
orchard, or around berry bushes. How
ever, if this immediate use is resorted
to the manure should be applied some
what sparingly. 1t is from two to
three times richer in pnoSphoric acid
than the ordinary farm manures. This,
of course is due to the kinds of feeds
used, and also to the fact that liquid
and solid matter are together.
1t can be handled most satisfactorily
if mixed with loan to remove stick
mess in the summer. In the winter it
should be mixed with a fair proper
ton Of loan, saWdust, or coal ashes,
sifted dried earth, land plaster. or
gypsum. Wood ashes and lime should
never be used as they set free the
nitrogen, which must be avoided.
Keep In a Dry Place.
To put manure on the ground in the
more of it's value. The better plan is to
store it in barrels Or boxes until time
to use on growing crop. When stored
this way the container should have
several large holes bored in it to admit
air. Some plants having several thou
sand fowls have large bins of concrete
for saving this manure. Untreated, Il
large part of the nitrogen escapes into
the air as ammonia gas.
The Maine experiment station
recommends using with every 30
pounds of poultry manure 10 pounds
of sawdust, 16 pounds of acid phos-
plate, and 8 pounds of kainit. The
acid phosphate and the kainit prevent
the loss of nitrogen, and the saWdust
absorbs the excess moisture. If saw
dust is not obtainable, dried earth in
about the same proportion may be
substituted. After being treated in
this way the manure should be put
in q sheltered place until used. If the
materials are kept handy the business
Of mixing soon becomes a routine
task.

Beavers in Maine.

A very interesting fact in relation to
the beavers of Maine has been brought
out by the recent forest fires, being dis
closed in ths weekly report of Special
Warden D. L. Cummings of Houlton for
the week of July End and from section
about which complaints have been made
to the Department of Inland Fisheries
and Game relative to alleged depredations
of the beavers. Mr.. Cummings wrote:
"On Wednesday,, June 29th, the fire 1
visited on the center line of Township
IRA is around a beaver pond of about
three acres, giving them plenty of water.
That beaver pond is all that stopped the
fire. The brook the beaver pond is on is
dry above and below the pond. Lots of
little trout died in these small brooks
that are so nearly dried up and some
quite so.
'The big fire they had on Township
7R3, on the northwest side of the rail-
road the first of June, was also checked
by string of beaver ponds mile long
on Township IRA in an alder swamp. 1t
gave the fire fighters chance to get it
under control. 1t is on the same ground
about which complaints have been made
about the beavers and wanted opened to
trapping. The beavers were doing no
harm whatever
''The beavers on these wild towns
should never be exterminated. If there
is certain section where they are doing
little damage, clean that section out
but our water supply is growing less
every year as the forests are cut away
and there are SO many cases where the
beaver yards save our trout as well as
our -orests.

ENGLISH NERVES.

When Victoria was queen, doctors and
laymen regarded "nerves" as something
entirely within human control. There
was then no talk of neurasthenia. The
word of that time was hysteria, and the
neurotic was merely one who failed in
self-control. Thus much injustice was
done and nervous disease was excited to
m ore vigorous growth, says the London
Daily Express. The swinging pendulum,
however, has its own perils, and we NAV
now be in danger of encouraging hysteria
by mistaking it for neurasthenia. Many
cases of mere bad temper are now allow
ed to strut about as nervous breakdowns.
We are apt to think TOO much about our
nerves, and the excuse of "war strain"
covers multitude of weakened follies.
