OUR LOSS and
YOUR LOSS

We all have to bear part of the burden Of recon
structon
In order to do our share towards bringing prices
down. and restoring normal conditions have decid
ed to take big loss all our Mems and Young Mems
Suits and Svercoats and other merchandise in our
store We going to take this loss cheerfuy, and we
believe patrons will appreciate and take advantage
of the bargains offering. ... So
We have gone through our stock and marked down
the prices we have not only marked them down to
we have marked the goods much below the purchasing
price -.a...
We believe that the sooner bring prices back
10 somewhat normal the better is for all of u.s. and to
accomplish this the merchant and his patron must work
| together.
The merchant could stop buying and the customer
could stop buvng for time at least but that would
only make matters 1t would stop the wheels OF
industry compelling the factories to close, throwing
labor out of emplovmen labor would consequently not
have the money to buy and that would have the effect
to bring the prices on farm products still lower.
There are at the present time about million six
hundred thousand idle people, III the United States
alone Now if everybody should stop buying this num-
Der would be greatly increased
We believe that the only solution is that all work
,ooather and that each one does his part towards
bringing things back to normal condition.
Thanking YOU all for the patronage given us during
the past year, remain,
Sincerely YOURS

METHODS OF SANIPLING AND
 TESTING HIGHWAY MATERIALS

With the wide extension of im- proved highway construction through out the United States, the need is in creasingly felt for some system of standards for the testing of highway materials so that tests in one part of the country can be accepted in an- other.
 The bureau of public roads, of the U. s. department of agriculture, has held conferences on the subject with the various state highway depart ments, and last year a conference of testing engineers was held in Wash ington. The results of the conference are published in department bulletin No. 949, Standard and Tentative Methods of Sampling and Testing Highway Materials" This bulletin of 98 pages gives 62 different tests and tentative tests covering nonbitumin- ous and bituminous road materials, soils, and other substances.
 In some cases the standard tests of the American society for testing ma terials have been adopted in their or iginal or slightly modified form, and in others not yet covered by the so- ciety original standards have been es- tablished. Lists and descriptions of ap- paratus for conducting tests, form for reports, and tables of comparative standards such as Baume gravity, Centigrade and Fahrenheit tempera- lures, and metric and American meas ures are also given for ready refer ence.

SEED ONIONS PROFITABLE
 IN YUMA VALLEY

During the past year the university experiment station at Yuma conducted demonstration in the production of onion seed which proved highly satis- factory. One-half acre was planted to the Crystal Wax variety of onions, the bulbs being set in November. The seed ripened in June yielding 160 pounds of first quality product. The crop was contracted for by one of the commercial seed houses in California for S1.50 per pound and was recently delivered. The gross returns for the one-haf acre was $240.
 This experiment was undertaken for the purpose of demonstrating the practicability of producing onion seed in the Yuma Valley. The results show very conclusively that this is a phase of farming that should receive the at- tention of ranchers of this section.

SWEET POTATOES DO
 FINE IN FINAL COUNTY

Sweet potatoes, according to County Agent B. s. Turville, of Pinal county, grow like weeds in certain sail types between Casa Grande and Florence.
 An official demonstration has been conducted by George Kinne, of the Pinal county farm bureau in cooper ation with the county agent, where sweet potatoes are yielding at the rate of more than $700 per acre. The pres ent market is limited although the present demand has not yet been fully supplied. In order to distribute the product more evenly and to supply the market more intelligently, DOT tion of these potatoes will be stored and placed upon the market sometime during the late winter or early spring, when the people of this locality are not accustomed to have sweet potatoes upon the market.
 The horticultural department of the University of Arizona have supplied plans for storing these potatoes. The potatoes will be dug and stored the latter part of October or the first of November.
 Farm bureaus in other counties of Arizona where sweet potatoes can be grown will be informed concerning the results of this demonstration with the idea that sweet potato industry may be developed on an extensive scale throughout southern Arizona.

MAJOR J. D. GUTHRIE
 HAS UNIQUE RELIC

Albuquerque, N. M.-An unsual and interesting souvenir of the operations of the forestry engineers in France is in the possession of Maj. J. D.. Guthrie of the United States forest service, of Portland. The souvenir is box or humidor made from the first board sawn by the first of the 20,000-foot American sawmills to start cutting war timber in France. Maj. Guthrie went over as captain of Co. c, 10th Engineers, his regiment landing in France on Oct. 7, 1917, his company arriving in the maritime pine region of southwest France, where it was to operate, on October 26, and his men began to cut piling on Oct. %, and shipped the first load on Nov. 1, 1917, to Col. J. B. Kavanagh, of the 18th Engineers, at Bordeaux for use in dock construction at Bassins. De- lays in arrival of parts for the sawmill kept it from starting until Feb. 28, 1918, when the first of the 20-000-foot mills started to cut at the La Bro- quette site. From the first board sawn out, this box, or humidor was made by private R. E. Butin, of Go. c, from Columbus, Ohio, and presented to Capt. Guthrie. The staining and hand wrought iron work were done later by an old French cabinet maker The wood is maritime pine (Pinus pin aster) found throughout southwest France in extensive forests largely as the result of planting by French for esters.
 Maj. Guthrie is well known in Albu- querque, having spent more than 10 years in the southwestern district of the forest service where he was suc- cessively supervisor of the Apache forest at Springerville, Ariz., the Co., conino forest at Flagstaff, vAriz., and the Carson forest at Taos, N. M. While he never lived in Albuquerque, he is well remembered through his frequent business trips to the city. Maj. Guthrie is still with the forest service being now in charge of the of flee of public relations at Portland, Oregon.

THE FARMS AND THE RANGES
 Edited by Francis A. Chisholm, County Agricultural Agent
NAVAJO COUNTY FAIR
 IS A GREAT SUCCESS

County Agent Fillerup reports six fairs having been held in Navajo coun- ty, with a total attendance of 446 persons. A big display of corn, pump kins, squash, potatoes and all similar vegetables were in evidence at each of these fairs and very keen interest was manifested by those attending.
 At each fair classes were judged by s. P. Ballentyne, assistant state leader in agricultural extension work, Uni versity of Arizona, and in each in stance it was made judging demon- stration. The farmers crowded around to learn why some potatoes took first and others second, or some corn took first and that which appeared to be better, took second. A very common comment was: "Well, l didn't know very much about selecting stuff this year, but l will show you what l can do next year."
 Another feature of the work was the result of demonstrations given by Prof. R. N. Davis, assistant husband man, U. of A. agricultural extension station, in cheese making. Stacks of golden cheeses were exhibited at quite a number of fairs, the cheese having been made by the women of the com munity.
 At the fair at Taylor very unique exhibit was that of the raw wool in its various stages of manufacture into woolen goods. There were samples of the white and black wool from the back of the sheep, also samples washed, carded, spun into wool and knitted into rug. This had been done by one of the ladies residing in the town.
 The farmers were Nso we'll pleased with the fairs that they voted to make them an annual event, adding as spe- cial features, farm bureau picnic and achievement day for boys and girls clubs,

IN ICE CREAM
 PREVENTED BY PASTEURIZING

The coalition in ice cream known as "sandiness" is being studied by the dairy division of the U. s. department of agriculture, and it IS now possible to make some suggestions to manu- lecturers and retailers that will assist them in freeing their product from this fault. The imperfection in ice cream has retarded. the development of the industry to considerable ex- tent.
 Sandiness is caused by the forma- tion of crystals of lactose, or milk sugar. These crystals, being only one- tenth as soluble as cane sugar, do not dissolve readily in the mouth. Some manufacturers claim to have had hundreds of gallons of ice cream turn sandy before it has left the factory, but sandiness is usually found to oc- cur in much smaller quantities of ice cream, after it has been delivered to the dealer.
 Although there are number of fac tors that have not yet been thorough ly studied, these conditions are known to have an important influence on the number and size of these sand-like crystals. These known causes are the use of sandy condensed or evaporated milk, excessive lactose in the mixes, and fluctuations of temperature in storage. It has been found that ice cream subject to exposure, as most of it is in process of marketing, should not be made up with more than 5.S5 per cent of lactose, which is equiva- lent to about II per cent milk solids not fat; any larger amount than this increases the tendency to sandiness.
 Pateurization is important in over coming sandiness that may be present in the mix before freezing. If the mix is heated to 145 degrees and slowly agitated for 25 minutes the crystals will be dissolved. Rapid freezing when there is high lactose content seems to hasten the formation of the sandy crystals. Raising and lowering the temperature, a frequent occurrence in ice cream cabinets, is often cause of sandiness. In connection with these temperature changes the time of hold ing has much to do with increasing the undesirable condition.

STOCKYARDS ARE NOW UNDER
 STRICT U. s. SUPERVISION

Fifty-four stockyards throughout the nation have been brought under strict federal supervision by the order of Secretary Wallace of the depart ment of agriculture. The order was the result of an investigation made by the official.
 The secretary held that all of the leading stockyards came within the provisions of the Packer control law.
 A hearing will be conducted in the near future on the application made by the Denver stockyards for a modi- fication of the government control of the local yards.

CONCRETE-ROAD REINFORCE
 MENT; NOVEL FOUNDATIONS

How a reinforced concrete road holds up under heavier traffic is to be determined by the bureau of public roads, U. s. department of agriculture through experiments to be conducted on such road now being built in the suburbs of Washington in co-opera- tion with Arlington county, Va.
 The road is being reinforced with many different arrangements of wire mesh and round steel rods embedded in the concrete. The joints will be either a crack left in the road, to be filled with tar, or simply sheet of corrugated metal set on edge with the concrete poured around it. Some sec tions are to have joints running along the middle of the road, some across it and some will be built without joints.
 Of special interest is the construc- tion of ribbed sections. Instead of placing the concrete on nearly fiat subgrade, trenches will be dug in the subgrade running parallel to the edges of the road and also across the road. These trenches will be filled with con- crete, giving the slab downward pro- Jections of concrete, and presumably strengthening it. Experiments also will be conducted to determine the strengthening effect of treating the earth under the concrete. On one sec tion the earth for depth of inches will be mixed with cement, using 1 part of cement to 20 parts of earth. In some places where there is a grade trench under the concrete will be filled with gravel. These trenches will slope toward the edges of the road and drain away any water that might otherwise accumulate under the sur face.

AYRSHIRE COW
 MAKES FINE RECORD

18S0.9 pounds of milk in one month containing 72.6 pounds of butterfat is the record of COW owned by A. MacMinn, of Phoenix. Out of 118 mature cows from all parts of the United States, this Ayrshire COW, Arizona Queen Bee, stood eleventh from the top of the list. This record was made 83 days after freshening and at the age of seven years. Truly remarkable record.
 Mir. MacMinn also had a two-year- old COW in the same list which pro- duced 50 pounds in that month.

SHEEP GLANDS TO BE FED
 TO SUBNORMAL CHILDREN

Pupils in subnormal classes at Chi cago schools will be fed on sheep gland diet as soon as arrangements can be completed, it was announced by Dr. Frank C.. Bruner, director of the special schools department of the board of education.
 The gland diet is the idea of health department physicians and thousands of children will partake of the sheep glands, prepared in the school kitchens.

Meanderings OF A
Mildly Militant Mind
Burglar-Proof Possessions

Loss is thing to which few per-
sons are easily reconciled. Oftener
than not the sense of loss harbored
is out of proportion to the loss sus
tanned. The way in which it occur,
materially affects the intensity of
cne's feelings about the matter.
For instance, loss due to our own
carelessness, neglect or erring judge
ment is more readily overlooked than
that caused by the same faults in
others. Not necessarily because we
excuse in ourselves what we con-
denim in others, but because our sense
of justice is strangely satisfied: the
loser, responsible for his loss, pays
the penalty of his own shortcomings.
Loss resulting from the mistakes or
failures of another may vex and wor-
ry for awhile, but eventually it is for
gotten and the offender forgiven.
That which comes through treach-
cry is different. 1t strikes deep;
memory of it lasts; and with memory
is resentment. There is something
sbout loss by theft which excites tu-
multuous emotions, starts spiritual
revolt against the order of things
which permits, or at least does not
prohibit, such injustice.
No one who has been the victim OF
burglary is apt to forget the expert
ence. The sensations felt at the
time of the discovery of the outrage
and for some time thereafter are not
to be coveted.
So, in possessions which no thief
however clever, can take from us, we
should rejoice. But, do We?
Are we, l wonder, as grateful as we
should be for the riches which may be
the portion of the poor, and without
which the rich are impoverished
They are many; they are priceless;
they may belong to all. They are
sure to belong to each one who is
worthy of them.
"What are they?" I'll tell you:
The loyalty of those who love US,
the faith of our friends, the respect of
our enemies, the gratitude of the I'M
fortunate to who we have been kind,
the appreciation of true worth, the
admiration of the beautiful, the power
to discriminate, the disposition to
choose the best, the ability to achieve
the determination to succeed, the will
TO triumph over circumstance, the
strength to toll, the courage to en-
dure, the integrity of character to
stand any test, the heart to rejoice
the head to think, the hand to do, the
memory of the past, the hope of the
future, the sense to make the most
of the present, these are a few burg
lar-proof possessions.
Complete enumeration should be a
pleasant task for anyone.
Suppose you finish tibet list!
Isn't it astonishingly long?
Doesn't it tend to compensate such
losses as you have borne?
And isn't it kind dispensation OF
providence which makes each individ-
ual the lifelong custodian of such
treasure?
