Horn Books and Their Uses.

Horn books were used as early as
the Sixteenth century by the school
boys of that day, and acquiring even
the fundamentals Of education by
them was a tedious occupation. Books.

were In existence were not TO be trust

that the young eyes could make out
the lettering beneath. The horn was
fastened to the board with thin strips
Of brass. and the scholar could get the

inmates in cooperation with the Uni versity of Arizona Extension Service. The poor condition this year is due to the drought which has prevailed over the principal grazing areas since last fall. On May the condition reported by the principal counties in the state was as follows: Yavapai, 57 per cent; Coconino, 75; Apache, 72; Nava- jo, 70; Maricopa, 50; Pinal, 45; Gila, 72; Graham, 70; Greenlee, 50; Santa Cruz, 52; and Cochise, 40.
 For the United States, the average condition of spring pasture en May 1 was 91.8 per cent of normal, com pared with 79.S enc year ago and S4.6, the ten-year average May con- dition.
 In consequence of the poor condi- tion of range pastures in Arizona in the past six months, cattle and sheep came through the winter with greater losses and in poorer condition than usual. The mortality of cattle is re- ported at 100 per thousand, compared with 25 per thousand last year and 61 per thousand, the ten-year average. The loss of sheep is reported at 115 per thousand, compared with 53 per thousand last year and 43 per thous- and, the ten-year average. The mortality of lambs was particularly heavy, being estimated at 100 per thousand. This compares with loss of 50 per thousand last year and S1 per thousand, the ten-year average Swine losses were 20 per thousand, compared with 30 per thousand last year and 22 per thousand, the ten year average. The condition of cattle on May was reported at S5 per cent of normal; sheep, S5; swine, 95. Last year on May 1 the condition of cattle was 97; sheep, 97; and swine, 95.

He formerly was sheep herder, following sheep across the hills and into the canyons. Now he doesn't have to work--he owns mine.
 This may be the life history of many lowly persons of Arizona | the plan of the state bureau of mines works out. A recent announcement said that stockmen and sheepmen would be given instruction in metal lurgy in order to develop the re- sources of the state.
 Mining experts pointed ou that cattle and sheepmen easily could com bine prospecting with their regular work. Following cattle and sheep in to out-of-the-way places and into canyons leads them past possible ore outcroppings and veins which the prospector might never see.
 Free lectures of how to test rocks for valuable minerals are to be given in many cities in the state to promote interest in mining on the part of ranchers.

MAY CROP REPORT FOR
 ARIZONA AND THE U. s

The condition of winter wheat in Arizona May l was 80 per cent of normal, according to the Federal crop report just issued by l.. M. Harrison, Arizona Statistician for the Bureau of Crop Estimates in cooperation with the University of Arizona Ex- tension Service. Last year on May l the condition was 94 per c2nt of nor maj. The poor condition Of the crop this year is due to late planting and heavy pasturing in some sections. Maricopa County reports condition of S2 percent; Graham, 80; Pinal, 65; and Cochise, 70. While an increased acreage is reported in some of the cotton counties, the heavy abandon ment has reduced the acreage for harvest to about 42,000. Based on conditions May 1, the forecast is for crop of about one million bushels, which is about the same as last year.
 For the United States, the condition on May was 88.8, compared to 79.1 in 1920 and S7.1, the ten-year May average. The forecast is for crop of 629, ,2S7,00 bushels, which would be about 9 per cent more than was produced last year.
 The Arizona hay acreage for 1921 is estimated at 135,000, which com pares with 123,000 acres last year. .Maricopa County reports 63,000 acres; Yuma, 12,500; Graham, 11,000; Pima, 5000; Pinal, 7,500; Cochise, 1000; Yavapai, 6,200; Apache, 5000; Maya jo, 4,0O0; Coconino, $500; Greenlee, 2,1OO; Gila, 2,000; Mohave, 1,200; and Santa Cruz, 2,000. Owing to unsea- sonable weather during April and over- -pasturing in some sections, the condition of the crop on May was not very good, being reported at 80 per cent normal. This compares with 90 per cent one year ago and 94, the ten-year average condition on May 1.
 For the United States, the condition of hay was 91.5 per cent of normal, compared with 89.4 per cent on May | 1, 1920, and ten-year hay average of S9.1 per cent. The forecast is for crop of about 107,7S4, ,000 tons as against 1O8, ,233, ,0O0 tons last year and 1O9, ,152,0 ,000 tons in 1919.
 Spring blowing in Arizona was 80 per cent completed by May and spring planting, 70 per cent. Last year 85 per cent of spring blowing and 75 per cent of spring planting was completed by May 1.
 For the United States, farm work on May 1 was well in advance of last year. ITS per cent of spring blow ing and 63.5 per cent of spring plant ing was completed by May this year as against 60.1 per cent of spring blowing and 50.2 per cent of spring planting completed by May last year.

Instances where the American Le- zion has lent helping hand in times of catastrophe as we'll as in the ordin- ary routine of civil life are reported almost daily to national headquarters.
 Texas and Arkansas Legion mem bers assisted in the recovery of 100 bodies of victims of the recent Texas tornado as we'll as carrying on relief work among the survivors. The Will liams post of the Legion at Clifton Forge. Va. has arranged to take up picks and shovels to help the city build S10,000 playground. The spring municipal house cleaning in Kansas City, Mo. and Euniee, La. re- ceived fresh impetus when Legion members provided wagons fatigue de- tails for the work.

The Legion's big job at the present time lis to win decent treatment for several thousand disabled veterans and to pro vide employment for approximately 100000 more who are now jobless. Nothing very capitalstic about that program, is there?"
 Twenty-seven posts of the Ameri- can Legion and 73 units of it's Wo- mems Auxiliary were formed during the week ended April 29th, national headquarters reports. Washington led the states in posts organized, with Wisconsin second and Iowa third. Kansas led with ten units of the Auxiliary, followed by Iowa and Minnesota New York has the largest number of Legion posts with 940; Illinois is second with 727 and pennsy- lvania third with GIT. A total of POI units of the Auxiliary in Minnesota placed that state in the lead Iowa is second with 1S0, followed by New York's total of ITS.
 More than one thousand members of the American Legion in Wichita Kan, can be called out to attend spec ial meetings or to answer emergency calls on few minutes, notice. By a system of three relays on the tele- phone, all members of Thomas Hop kins post can be notified in less than half an hour, according to the post commander. The system works in this manner: The post adjutant calls ten members, who in turn call from five to ten men; the latter each notify ten more men. Each man has a card with the names and telephone number al- loted to him.
 All posts of the American Legion may obtain copies of Memorial Day Service, prepared by the War Camp Community Service Inc, 1 Madison Avenue, New York City. The same organization will also provide num- bers of a Memorial Day Pageant, written by Miss Josephine Thorp.
