Same Way About Knocking on Your
Own Home Town,

Ebert Hubbard: If you work for
a man, in heavens name work for
him. If he pays you wages which
supply you your bread and butter
work for him, speak we'll of him,
think well of him, stand by him and
stand by the interests he represents.
| think if | worked for a man J
woulo work for him. | would not
work for him part of his time, but
all of his time. | would give an undi-
vided service or none. If put to a
pinch, an ounce of loyalty is worth
a pound of cleverness. If you must
villify, condemn and eternally dis
parage, why, resign your position
and when you are outside, damn to
your hearts content. But, pray you,
so long as you are part of an in
stitution, do not condemn it. Not
that you will injure the institution
not that-but when you disparage
the concern of which yau are a part
you disparage yourself.

The mother of the Dalton boy flung
her arms about him and out of the
tears asked, "My boy, my boy, why
did you do it?" 1t is the age old out
cry of the mother who never deserts
her son. God help the boys who for
get their mothers and the grief and
gray hairs that follow the misdeeds
of sons and daughters.

The Carroll Herald says: "The eff
fort to secure nurses in the public
schools is receiving support in the
Iowa legislature. When one con-
siders the multitude of things crowd
ed into the school program and or
ganization one wonders how the
present generation ever survived the
hazards of primitive conditions. How
are we going to survive the congIom-
Grated fads that crowd for recogni-
tion in public undertakings ?"

IN SUPERB BEAUTY
Arizona'S Volcanic Region Well
Called a Marvel.
Devised Can Approach Sight II
Offers to Visitors.

Books upon books have been written
about the seven wonders of the world,
while there are seventy times seven
OF natural wonders in every country
of any great extent. Mans handiwork,
however elaborate, sinks into inSignifi-
canoe when compared with what we
may see in any part of the world.
Vast caves, mighty rivers and lofty
mountains vie with gOrgeS. cataracts,
plains and forests, in eXtOrting admi-
ration and awe. and library might
be filled with II description of the nat
ural curiOSities Of Il single state.
In Arizona, there is an area in which
% hundred volcanoes may be counted.
The majority are extinct, but hundreds
are active, emitting smoke, hot water,
mud and mineral SSIstances
From the sides OF the hills, grouped
in an immense amphitheater, come
forth most beautiful springs of clear,
warm water-SOme so sour, others so
sweet, so bitter and so strongly aka
line, that no living being or animal
can drink it. These waters course
down the hillSides, laying coat of
white, pink, purple, blue or green,
made by the mineral salts they con
tain, upon everything with which they
come in contact.
In the midst of these hills is the
Lake of Ink. There run into it scores
OF streams of clear, mineral hot wa
ter; others that are warm, and two
that are cold.
The lake, Onc-fOurth of mile in
length and one-eighth In width. lies
like gem, set in these hills or these
ancient volcanoes. The Unlike wa
fer which fills the lake. comes UP to
within three or four inches of the
level of its shores.
The temperature near the edge is

warmer as YOU get down in 1t. and. as
you approach the center of the lake.
on the surface it is 1866 degrees. and
at depth OF go feet 1t is 216 de-
greeS.
Near the shore on the east. south
and west sides the water is only four
to six feet in depth for 20 feet or
more into the lake, where the shelf
breaks off perpendicularly, and there
no bottom has ever been found.
To the touch, the water feels smooth
and oily. The ashes and oil which
cover the lake when its waters are
quiet are from one-half an inch to
an inch thick. The water of the lake
Is Jet black, though it does not color
the skin of those who battle in it.
Under a glass, the coloring matter
seems to he minute black substance,
held In suspension by the water which

waters is well worth seeing.
