The old Fourth is gone Ike the dodO the Fourth of tail-twisting and eagle screaming, and crashbanginC. and dynamite. and lockjaw. IL had its uses. A nation has long youth. and our old boastfulness. and self-eSteem, and excitabillty, and recklessness be fitted us well enough. On the old Fourth we let our crudity and our arrogance and our raw hove of nose rise to the surface and skinned ii of :Il at once, and were the better for the process. costly though 1; was. P.-' time has Quie;ed our adolescence in'o something nearer maturity. and fhe old sound and fury can never return.
 Doubtless to some. 10 whom old as sociations are dear, the change has sometimes seemed almost painful. He was happy, that boy who slipped from his bed with the first streaks of dawn. who by noon had used up his avail able supply of frecrackers ard fingers. who spent the afternoon on the edge of the crowd in the grove. vaguely aware of resticulaiions from the wooden platform in the center and about equally conscious of his own dirty bandages and the ability of his country to lick creation. and who longed for darkness as earlier he had ionged for day, and split the welkin with his exultant yell when the first rocket whizzed from its narrow trough and burst into pale stars. His sons, on this great day, are hungry at break fast time and play tennis in ibe parks, and he has watched them knowing it was well, but it surprised him little.
 This year. though. he IS not dis tressed This is a new Fourth; the change is striking. But for all our seriousness on this Fourth we are not less, but more, a confident country. We have lost our flamboyance, but we have increased our determination. The spirit Is ours not Of the platform
 houter but of the Gettysburg oration. Cur ears ring not with the sound of he frecracker but with the great words of Lincoln: Consecrate !edicate the government by he people shall not perish rom tEe earthi

 Several cases of cattle rustling now are pending in the courts, said Steph- ems in discussing the boards activi- ties He said the board intended to continue its policy of prosecuting such cases and that this would mean con siderable expense for attorneys fees and court costs.

He said the boards inspectors had been requested to assist in the work Of holding down expenses.

TUCSON, Aug. 1e.-One of the most far reaching steps yet attempted by the farmers of Arizona both in dispos- ing Of their products and in procuring their staple needs through co-opera- tive buying was that taken by the ex- ecutive committee of the state farm bureau al its recent meeting in Phoe- nix, according 10 c. S Brown, presi- dent Of the association. President Brown returned to Tucson yesterday from attending the meeting.
 This important step in establishing a marketing system for Arizona grown products was effected in the employing of Lawrence c. Wilson of Casa Grande, as executive secretary, vho at the same time will act as pur- chasing and sales agent for the Ari- zona farmers. Immediately upon his appointment Mir Wilson was sent by the executive committee to Washing ton to appear at the railroad hearing on hay, grain and grain products that was started yesterday.
 Much Already Accomplished

Take the Short Cut

WHEN you were a youngster, you never went to school the long way round! You took short cut
 Every advertisement in this paper is a short cut Advertisements make it possible to tell you in few minutes all you want to know about the service or articles you need.
 At glance you can sift out the things that interest you most and in a moment you know just when and wheer to go for what you want.
 Figure how many steps, how much needless walking and talking the adver- tisements thus save you and your neighbors.
 Then you realize the great economy and necessity of advertising in your daily life.

Here is the pride of Glendive, the
school boy military band, compris-
ing IS boys. 1t had its start in
February, 1913, with 16 instruments.
The organization is divided into q
senior and junior band, promotions
on merit occurring from the junior
to the senior band. After a lad has
become proficient as second cornet-
list. he has before him the opportunity
for advancement to first cornetist
and then solo cornet, If q vacancy
exists in either of these places. At
no time does a pupil have perma-
nent possession of any position, and
he can hold his place only by con-
scientious effort, regular attendance
at rehearsals and the observance of
certain regulations, such as abstin-
ence from smoking, gentlemanly con-
duct, and other rules which tend to
build him up into a manly little fel-
low. Penalties are most vigorously
inflicted. The offence brings a warn
ing against repetition, the second
results in demotion a step downward
and finally may even result in being
put back on the waiting list or COM
plete expulsion. Before he can re-
trive his lost position he must re-
climb the ladder. This keys the
youngsters up to their level best at
all times, as they realize that some
one is waiting for their place.

sive instruments belong to the

While performing the operation
on the patient In the county Jail,
DR.. DonOhue remarked that his

fought hard, and 1t took quite q

Donohue, as he temporarily re.

was greatly surprised when he
learned what he had said.

Here is little human interest

idge, who before his graduation from
the Rapid City Tech, had been hard
rock miner and worked in the famous
old Homestake mine in the Black
Hills, drifted into the Kendall coun.
try, in Fergus county, looking fol
adventure and gold ore. There he
met julius C. Peters, a student OF
the University of Colorado al
Boulder. and during vacation times
blacksmith's helper at the Kendall
mine. A friendship developed. In
men went their separate ways, to
meet again in the same neighbor-
hod, about two years ago, when the
Cat Greek oil discoveries first began
to attracts attention. Both had
acquired good acreage, we'll inside,
and they decided to pool their hold
