DECREASED VALUATION
 ON PATENTED MINES

1 The total assessed values of patent ed producing mines of the state is $51, ,9O5,326 less than last year, a de- crease of 12 percent. The tax on mines is based on a five-year average, and the closing down of the mines, or the curtailing of the output tke past two years has brought this average to 8 much lower point. The total value of these patented producers for the year 1922 is $34S,101 ,615, as compar- ed with last year when it was S400,- C06,941 more than half the entire assessed value of the state. Even tho the mines show large depreciation they will still be taxed for more than all the other property, the unpatented
 mines, non-producing patented and other mining property making up the big list.
 In Mohave county the Tom Reed is piven value 50 per cent below the as- sessment of last year, and the United Eastern lost but about $4,000 from it's last years assessment. Last year the Tom Reed was listed at $854, $40; 1922, $477,932; United Eastern, last year 5,4S1 ,486; 1922, $5,477,922. The lar gest single mine assessment in the state is that of the Inspiration Cop per, which is listed at over $63,000,- 900. At one time this property was paying on a tax value of 5000, ,00O, but the output has been so heavily cut the past two years that it carried its valuation to a low point
 Mohave county will not suffer greatly from tax loss, as many other valuations have been increased, and next year it is quite probable that the valuations will show at least $25,000,- GOO, which will be new high. This increase will come from new produc ing mines and the added trackage of the Santa Fe, the tax being on main line tracks.

Why Fatiaue 'Is Dangerous.

For fatigue can be quite danger ous and costly luxury where many workers are employed. It is found that 1t bears quite pointedly on the rate of production, and hence its cost, and on the accident and illness curves and on many. other elements that enteS into industrial efficiency.
 Surprising variations in the fatigue caused by different kinds of work and among workers in the same kind of employment have been found.
 In lathe machine work operations in a intuition factory 1t was found the average fall of strength from morning until knocking off time was 28.67 per cent. The average for other work in the same factory was as low as 24.52 per cent. There was much wider variation among individuals Milwaukee Journal.

Why Newfoundland ls Important.


 One importance of Newfoundland is Its geographical position. St. Johns, the chief port and capital of the coun- try, Is 1000 miles nearer England than is>New York. In fact, it is only l, ,468 miles from the coast of Ireland. so greatly does the Atlantic shrink off the coast of Newfoundland. That is why this unique country has had the distinction of receiving the first trans- Atlantic wireless message at St. Johns in 1901 and also why the first nonstop transatlantic airplane flight started from the same vicinity. The Cape Race light is the first greeting from America to ships on the north ern route from Europe, and it is the last to flash gOdspeed to etst-bOund vessels. Newfoundland ls verify tho sNpping stone between America and Europe.-World's Work.

THROUGH ROADS OF
 STATE COMPLETED

! Thomas Maddock, state engineer, IS
 understood to be getting the through roads of the state in shape to be taken over and maintained at state expense. This is the proper method. With the cast and west road in the south and the National Old Trails Road in the north, as we'll as a well kept north and south road maintained by the state all sections of Arizona would be largely benefited.
 One of the necessities of state con- trol shows in the building of the sec tion of road between Mohave county line and the Coconino county line, Yavapai county for years having studiously avoided building. Nothing was done on this section until the leg islature provided $5O,OOO for the build ing of the road and the state took a hand in the matter. The same is true of the road by way of Lipton, in Apache county, the road being in the north part of the state, while the interests of the county lie farther to the south. In Yuma county and Mar icopa county road conditions are some what mixed, the people living along the Southern Pacific wanting a through road close to the Gila, but the ether counties desiring connection direct through Phoenix.
 These conditions under state control will be ironed out, and it is to be hoped that the state engineer will be given unlimited power in the matter.

Why Cultivation Is Impe rative.

A scientific reason for the value of cultivation or tilth in agriculture has been suggested by an interesting ca pillary phenomenon exported in Ger many. A block of plaster of paris OF other porous material was moistened with salt solution, and on drying i, was found that evaporation withdrew the salt, depositing it at the surface Hoeing or stirring tlie soil facilitates evaporation by exposing greater to- tai surface. Jerome Alexander, in Science, concludes that the rising of the subsurface water brings to roots soluble substances serving as plant food, and that the capillary rise of water also explains the curious fact that cultivation in dry weather tends to furnish moisture to the growing crop.

TWO COUNTRIES URGE UNITED
STATES TO STAND BY PRO-
HIBITION LAW


The president of the Republic of
Austria, DIR. d. NJ. Hainisch. and Pro-
.essor Masaryk, president OF the Re
public of Czecho-Slovakia, have Joined
In urging the United States to stand by
the prohibition law.
a few weeks ago a representative Of
the beard of temperance. prohibition
and public morals of the Methodist
Episcopal hurch gathered with emf
nent men IF Austria, including the
president around the table at which
the cabinet of Austria sat when they
drafted the ultimatQn to Serbia pre-
cipitating the world war. This time
however, those gathered around the
table were considering a war in de-
tense of humanity against alcohol. Six
million kronen a year was pledged to
the work in Austria and CZeChoS lO
yakia by the board of temperance, pro-
hibition and public morals and by the
prohibition foundation.
The message to the United States
from President Hainisch sent by Mr.
Virgil Hinshaw. said;
my message to America is this:
Stand by prohibition, enforce the law,
because in proportion as you enforce
it there will be q decrease in criminal
ity, pauperism, insanity and the other
things that make for i'll in human So
ciety.
Il regard the eighteenth amendment
to the federal Constitution of the
United States of America as one of
the greatest and most far-reaching
pieces of legislation even enacted by
any nation of the civilized world.
Having been taught by a good
mother from my earliest youth to
abstain from intoxicants of all kinds
and from tobacco, a rule of life which
1 have followed to this day, have ever
been the unrelenting foe of alcohol in
all its forms as a beverage, and trust
that<at no distant day Austria will fol-
low the United States in the unloading
of an incubus so destructive of human
life and property.
1--WE are thankful to America for the
help she is giving us in the providing
of food for starving children, and we
thank the World Prohibition fedora
ton, with the constituent bodies, in
Guiding the Methodist Church Temper
ance society and the Prohibition Foun-
dation, for the help they are giving
us in the furnishing of means for the
dissemination of facts about alcohol.
I'VE realize more and more that the
world is one great family. Let us help
one another when help is needed"
