rare birds and worth $1,000 each.
The birds will live to be $50 years
old-two that they have are IS years
old They hitch one to an ordinary
buggy and he takes two full grown
men around the ring at lively pace
Another is used as a saddle horse
a man weighing 135 lbs. rode him
twice around the ring. An ostrich
makes a nest by digging a shallow
hole in the ground. Mrs. Ostrich
lays an egg every other day. Each
egg weighs four pounds. The male
keeps the egg warm during the night
and the female during the day, and
it takes forty-two days to hatch the
eggs. The young birds are all of a
grayish color. The male turns black
when eighteen months old When
the keeper handles the birds, such as
Harvesting, ETC., he puts hood over
his head; as soon as he is hitched up
the hood is removed
The feathers are taken every nine
months h e re are twenty-four
feathers in each wing and almost a
hundred little feathers in the tail
They took the feathers from young
male while we were there. They
use clippers and cut the quills, then
after several months they pull the
stubs. They offered the feathers cut
from the young bird at one dollar
each. This was the first clipping
the next will be more valuable.
We visited big saw mill in Jack
sonville where they saw 125 cars of
logs every day. These logs are
brought from the forest twenty
five miles away. The logs are en-
tirely used up-no part being vast
ed. The part not fit for lumber is
made into lath and the slabs, saw
dust and bark are all ground up to-
gether and fed into the boilers by an
automatic feeder, making the only
fuel needed. They sell the surplus
to customers in the city. The mill
is so located that the logs are rolled
off the cars into the water and float
ed to the carriers The saws are
band-saws with teeth on both sides,
and cut both as carriage comes up
and goes back. Ocean going ships
come right up to the yards where
the lumber is loaded for all parts of
the world.
We made a trip up the st. Johns
river twelve miles to Mandarin,
which is the old home of Harriet
Beecher Stowe. There is large or
ange grove there from which we Sc
cured some nice oranges. This is
claimed to be the farthest north of
any grove in Florida. 1t is saved by
the artesian well which is in the
grove. They have it piped all over
the grove and when frost is feared,
they turn on the water which is
quite warm, being about 100 Fair.
This has never failed to save the
fruit. There are few big trees in
this grove also.

YOUR TEETH
Varieties of Plates

BY Rea Proctor McGee, D. D. S.,
M. D., Editor coral Hygiexe"
If you have lost very many teeth,
you must consider some method of
| replacing them, because If you don't
you will only partially chew your
food and your digestive apparatus
will suffer severely from overwork
and your general system must neces-
sarily be undernourished.
So common sense dictates that
when you lose a tooth, it must be
replaced. There are other good rea-
sons why teeth should be replaced.
but now, the matter Of plates is un-
der discussion.
In jaw where there are some
natural teeth remaining the plate
that carries the missing teeth is call
ed partial plate"
There are many methods of keep
ing these partial plates in position.
and the methods are SO extremely
clever that the feelings, appearance
and function of the normal teeth are
almost restored.
The old idea of placing fixed
bridges, to restore every form of
tooth that was missing, is rapidly
giving way to the extensive use OF
the partial plate.
One Of the great advantages of
partial plate is the fact that it can
be removed and thoroughly cleaned.
Now, cleanliness is one of the
greatest possible measures in the
conservation Of health and anything
that can be cleaned can be made san
itary; but If you have in your mouth
an extensive lot Of uncleanable ap-
paratus it will be very difficult to
maintain hygienic condition.
Always consider the possibility of
cleanliness when any new work is
being done in the mouth. The par
tial plates depend for their retention
upon the teeth that are remaining in
the mouth. They do not depend up
on suction as do the full plates, par
ticularly the full upper
To be satisfactory, the teeth upon
which the partial plate depends for
support must be very healthy.
You cannot hope to have either
satisfactory or healthful piece of
partial plate work in your mouth
unless the teeth to which 1t is an
chored are healthy and will remain
SO.
II you have to have a partial
plate, don't try to save a lot of hope
less teeth 10 interfere with it.

An uninterestirs Subject

While Frenchman delivering lecture in
New York not long ago Moliere the French Shape
speare it observed that General Joffre who was
sitting the platform had fallen asleep The great
general once aroused himself looked about foolishiy
and then resumed his slumber.
No Ffenchman is wanting in regard for the great
dramatist but then it be considered that he has
been dead long time some centuries and though
he holds nations interest so many things have
happened in France Of that it is as acute as
it used to be.
Nobody will accuse General Joffre of being a
sleepy head He won record OF many continuous
hours of wakefulness five of six years ago
when the Germans were pressing toward Paris.
There whole days and nights then that General
Joffre was not sleepy. The whole nation was in the
grip of insomnia. And after the Germans
were turned back the first time from the Marne
neither the general his people felt any great de-
sire for sleep.
There is nothing strange about the wakefuness
of General Joffre time connection his
exhibition of sonnolence at the MoIiere lecture.
Moliere has been put; the French and other peoples
may engage in contemplation of him at any time.
But the Germans were demanding immediate atten-
tion and they doing little sleeping
themselves they kept everybody in their vicinity
awake with the internal racket they were making.
Moreover General Joffre is something more than
great soldier; he is also a scholar and presumably
knew all about Molere perhaps much as the lec-
turer did. He could have felt other interest in
the subject than curiosity regarding the lecturers

He did not, though, six years ago know all about
the Germans He didn't know even how much he
didn't know about them. Therefore he found thoun

MIXED
BLOOD MARRIAGE IS
STILL NOT SETTLED

Whether it is true that under the
law Of this state against miscegena-
ton a person of mixed Caucasian
blood may not marry any person in
this state remains unanswered, in an
opinion handed down by the supreme
court yesterday. because it was
asked by one not qualified to make
the inquiry. The opinion was in the
case of Mayellen Kirby, appellant,
against Joe r. Kirby. appellee, Pima
county.
These parties were married in
Tucson in 1914. The marriage was
subsequently, annulled on the ground
that the appellee was Caucasian
and that the appellant was a person
of negro blood and were therefore
powerless to marry under the Ari-
zona statute.
In the appellants answer to the
complaint. she attacks the validity of
the statute on the ground that it con-
flicts with the federal constitution
in that it discriminates against de-
scendants of persons of Caucasian
blood in forbidding them to marry
~ SCAtS PCAO4lS4AS 10 GillGT OF the
other races or their descendants.
while persons of mixed blood other
than Caucasian may marry any per-
son who is not Caucasian: also
in that persons OF mixed Caucasian
blood cannot marry any person or
lawfully contract any marriage in
this state: also that the legislature is
without power to prohibit persons of
mixed Caucasian blood from con-
tracting marriage in this state.
In answering the complaint the
appellant denies that the appellee is
a person of Caucasian blood and that
she was negress. The plaintiff and
appellee at the trial proved that his
mother was a Mexican and his father
an Irishman. The defendant appel
liant did not take the stand
The court in affirming the lower
court held that since it was not
shown that the appellant was a per-
son OF Caucasian blood she could
not attack that alleged discriminatory
feature of the statute of which she
complained.

ST. JOHN 'SM|SS|ON
INDIANS To GIVE
PAGEANT SUNDAY

To provide funds for the initial
expenditures connected with the trip
and to secure to Phoenix and the
Salt River valley an advertising me-
dunn which is being looked upon as
perhaps one of the most feasible and
worthy conceived by the people of
Maricopa county, the Indians of St
Johns mission, five miles south of
Layeen will stage a great pageant
and series of entertainments on next
Sunday preparatory to leaving for a
tour of the large cities of the East
in June.
The primary object of the trip is
to obtain money for the mission.
The secondary object, and one which
is being looked upon with increasing
interest by the business men of the
valley. is to place the advantages of
this section of Arizona before the
people of the East in an unique and
definite manner, Using the mission
show and band as the medium
through which the eyes of the East
are to be turned to Phoenix.
The pageant Sunday is being
planned with exceptional care to pro-
vide a kind of entertainment which
is unusual even in Arizona, the home
of the Indian. On the mission
grounds will be erected by the In
dians complete village in which
more than 100 aborigines will live
for the day as they do in the most
hidden recesses of The desert. All
their domestic affairs will be carried
on as in the days before the coming
of the white man, the activities of
the Indians ending with a battle be-
tween the Pimas and the Apaches.
In addition to the pageant and the
village, the boys and girls of the
mission. numbering nearly 500, will
stage a great military review, a flag
drill and a series of athletic contests
and sports. The entertainment will
begin in the morning. although the
greater part of it will be held in the
afternoon, and for those who come
before noon lunch will be provided
Tickets for the pageant are on sale
at the Elvey & 1ulett drug store
corner First avenue and Adams
street, where a brisk demand for
them has been reported.

RANCHER HURT WHEN
CAR RUNS INTO TREE

William Tatunn, a. rancher living
south of the river. sustained minor
cuts and bruises last night about
1880 o'clock when his automobile
left the pavement and ran into q
tree on South Central avenue, just
north of Henshaw road. The police
were called and Tatum was removed
to st. Joseph's hospital. where DR..
I. l. Garrison. city physician, gave
him medical attention.
|. The cause of the accident is not
known, but it is supposed that some
thing went wrong with the steering
gear of the car which caused Tatum
to lose control Of the machine.
Tatum sustained several cuts on his
legs and was bruised about the head
and face from being thrown from
the car. He was on his way to his
home south of the river when the
accident took place.

tenn was built. Huge ranches were
put under cultivation. But there can
be no question that this material
progress was at the cost of a moral
retardation. The richest men of Mex
leo had been given their riches by
the state as the price of their sup
port. Peonage was the common
practice everywhere. The Indian
laborer was kept enslaved quite as
much as in the days Of the Span
iards. He was whipped and branded
and chained if he dared rebel. Edu-
cation was unknown to him.
Diaz Stamped Yaquis Out
So Diaz fell. Francisco Madero
had his own cause for quarrel with
the dictator, but he was probably in
spired also by an unselfish desire to
better the condition Of the poor man.
He was helpless until he enlisted the
support of the Yaqui Indians. Dan
gerous as the Yaquis are today-and
in the control of the Yaquis lies con-
troll Of Mexican politics-it must be
admitted that their cause of COM
plant against the Diaz government
was a Just one. They only asked
to retain control of their hunting
grounds. Diaz stamped them out.
II sat at breakfast with the then
governor of Sonora a man told me.
when word came that 200 Yaqui
prisoners had arrived. We walked
out to the patio, where they were
drawn up under guard. In fifteen
minutes he had disposed Of them.
EVERY fifth man to be shot he
ordered. Every second ana fourth
man to Yucatan. ="
My friend does not believe that
single one of those Yaquis ever
reached Yucatan He says they
were taken to the nearest fishing
ground and pusLed overheard to the
sharks. However that may be, the
era of Mexican prosperity ended
when Madero triumphed.
Looting General Under carranxa
There is no need to recount the
history OF the years that followed
At every point morals and methods
In Mexico sagged until they reached
the gravel of the bottom under Car
rama. It is well inside the truth
to say that no civilized country has
ever suffered such cynical looting as
Mexico did under the old first chief.
Graft. rascality, inefficiency We're all
supported by the Carranza army.
Patriotism in Mexico was rewarded
by firing squad and a brick wall.
Yet there remained patriots in
Mexico. Carranza was thrust out Of
office by an outraged people rather
than by Obregons army. His friends
said he was murdered. Whether or
not this was true, / believe it to be
the fact that SO men out of one hun
dred in Mexico are grateful to the
bottom OF their hearts that Venus
tiano Carranza is dead.
