The Barred Plymouth Rock, the most
popular breed of poultry on the farms,
and therefore the most numerous of
the many now raised in the country,
has a popularity from which arises
special breeding problems. This is the
plumage marking Of dark and light
bars that has been known for so long
and which makes it almost essential
to make two separate matings to get
standard color in both the males and
the females.
The alternating dark and light bars
give blush cast or shade to the
general color. which should be even
throughout the surface. It is common
for solid black feathers. or feathers

lost. Can We not return them to
their friends?"
SO the animals decided to try to
get the boys of the great rock.
you are littlest," said the lion
to the mouse, you try first"
So the mouse made ready and
sprang as high as she could up the
side of the rock. Just a hand
breadth she jumped, and fell back
into the valley.
So the rat tried next, and he made
mighty effort, and jumped two
hand-breadths, and then he too fell
back into the valley.
After that every sort of animal
jumped in turn, the otter, and the
badger, the fox, and the wolf, and
the bear, and tho each jumped as
high as he could, he jumped only
against the side of the rock, and
went tumbling back into the valley.
Last Of all came the lion. With
a mighty roar he sprang-but is was
no use: he too struck the side Of
the great rock and fell back with the
others.
They were about to give up and
go back to their homes in the river
and in the forest, when a tiny mea-
suring-worm came creeping over the
grass. by your leave" she said
quite humbly, addressing the lion,
II should like to try and see what l
can do"
"Ho-ho,' laughed all the animals
together. "Ho-ho!"
But without waiting for their con-
sent, the measuring-worm made her
way slowly to the foot of the great
rock, and then, little by little, little
by little, she drew herself up, up,
up the side Of the. mighty rock.
Up, and up, and up she went, un-
til she was lost to sight of the ami
mails waiting below.
At last she reached the TOP. and
drew herself over the edge. And
there lay the two boys, still sleeping.
Then the measuring worm took the
two boys, and started back. She
climbed with them down the side of
the rock, little by little, down, and
down, and down.
At last she came within sight of
he waiting animals.
Down, and down still she climbed
Until she was in their midst.
SO mighty was the noise made by

the men and women of the

And so the boys were restored to

SET FRUIT TREES IN AUTUMN
Make Plans to Have Few Good Vari.
cites, and Select Those That
Ripen in Succession.

Make your plans to set fruit trees as
soon as the autumn days come, where
the foliage has been cast and the
ground is moist and we'll prepared.
This should be done before the busy
spring days, when farmers have so
great demand upon their time. Make
plans to set few good varieties Of
fruits and select those that ripen in
succession, to supply the family with
fresh fruit most of the season.

BEST PLACE For SOY BEANS
Necessary to Watch That They Are

Soy beans need not give any more
trouble in storage than any other
grain, although 1t is necessary to keep
watch that they are perfectly dry and
do not start to heat. 1t is also ad-

practically all strains Of this variety,
but this is not sign of impure breed
ing. Black spots are also common
occurrences on the shanks, particularly
In females, but this does not indicate
impurity. There is a decided tendency
for the males Of this variety to come
lighter in color than the females, and
for this reason breeders are usually
obliged to resort to two separate mat
ings, one for the production Of males
Of standard color and the other for
the production Of females of standard
color. The system Of double mating,
Of course, complexities the problem of
producing high-class Barred Plymouth
Rocks
In mating for males of exhibition
color male of about standard color
is used with medium dark females, or
those two or three shades darkes
than females Of exhibition color, ir
which the barring is as distinct and
as narrow as possible. This mating Is
known as the cockerel mating because
1t produces a greater percentage of
standard-colored males, while the
females produced are too dark, bu'
are suitable for continuing this lin.
Of breeding In mating for female
Of standard color, females Of about tn.

shades lighter than standard and witt

Those who produce standard Barre,

FROZE THE MOONSHINE

A few days ago, so the report goes,
a man who had a horse and saddle
in local feed yard, hunted up the
yard man and asked to have his sad
die unlocked so he could get at it.
When he got to the saddle he
promptly slipped bottle out of the
saddle bag and looked it over. A
bystander inquired what was in the
bottle and was told that it was moon
shine.
However, the owner Of the fluid
was puzzled at finding it standing
still in the bottle and there was no
rattle nor splash to it. The day was
cold and whiskey with any sort of
alcoholic kick to it should not have
been frozen.
Mrs. May Clark, a former resident
of Blackfoot and Idaho Falls, has
recently moved to Los Angeles.

Of week or ten days the second pick
ing is made, when the remainder Of
the crop usually is removed. In a
few instances more than two pickings
are made, especially with early ap-
pies. Two pickings are more expens-
i've than one because Of the additional
time required, though the increase in
the market value of the crop often
justif1es this practice. If the crop is
of low quality the value Of the returns
usually are not sufficient to warrant
the extra cost of more than one pick
ing.

He said that he believes that all the discussion now going on will eventually be beneficial. The party expects to get back here tomorrow night and then will leave Sunday morning for Los Angeles.

ELKS GETTING READY TO
 BUILD HOME THIS SUMMER

The B. P. o. Elks building com mittee met at c. B. Wilson's office Tuesday night and adopted plans for the proposed new Elks' home, their action being subject to approval by the lodge. The plans were designed by Captain J. B. Wright and Dan Ho- gan and call for a building at the corner of Aspen avenue and Beaver street to be GA feet east sto west by 84 feet north to south, three stories high, the front elevation being 42 feet. It is planned to rent the lower floor for stores, probably two, with the second floor for lodge, billiard, reading and other rooms. It is high ly probable that all financial ar engagements will be completed within a few days and the building erected this summer. There are numerous de- tails still to be decided upon and as soon as settled the complete plans will be announced.
 Anyhow, there is little doubt that the much-talked-of and long-desired home will soon be an assured fact.

SOAKED FIFTY DAYS FOR
 THROWING ROCKS AT TRAIN

Leonard Gray attempted to ride the "blind baggage" at Williams, and when the brakeman tried to eject him, threw rocks at him, some of the rocks striking the windows of the coaches. The rear brakeman was also assaulted by Gray with rocks. Wm. Dickinson, special Santa Fe of- ficer at Ash Fork, who happened to be on the train, arrested him and placed him in the Williams jail.

site direction from his own home. He was grooming as if in terrible pain When he stepped off the curb at Agassiz street he fell headlong. Ris- ing, he fell again at the curb on the east side of Agassiz. Then he groped along the stone wall in front of the Bridewell residence, past the residence and nearly to the other end of the wall, where he fell against and partly across it, face down.
 Whether death resulted from in- juries received when he fell, from a rupture of the bladder, or from a toxic condition, has, of course, not as yet been determined.
 Dr. Felix Manning, then in Phoenix attending the good roads meeting, was phoned to and asked to notify Mrs. Harben and County Attorney Frank M. Gold, MT. Harben's law partner. Mrs. Harben came up by train, arriving yesterday morning. MT. and Mrs. Gold left Wednesday in their car and were expected to arrive last night.
 Both the county and city officers went to work at once to run down ev- cry possible clue that might throw any light on the sad occurrence.
 George Washington Harben was a genial, whole-souled, big-hearted man, general, charitable in thought and act. He made friends of everyone, easily and naturally. It is doubtful if he had an enemy in the world.
 MT. Harben was born at Juno, Georgia, on May 13, 1879, and thus would have been 43 years old next month. After the usual preparatory training he was graduated from the department of law of the University of Georgia. He practiced law for brief intervals at various places in Texas and in the northwest, while looking for a permanent location; then came to Arizona about Is years ago, practicing first at Phoenix, then at Williams for six years, and then going back to Phoenix where he was assistant to Wiley Jones during the latter's first term as state attorney general.

 Justice Kidd told the jurors that at about 9:30 the night before, while sitting in his office, which adjoins MT. Harben's, he heard car drive up, then turn around and leave. He heard MT. Harben enter his office. The latter opened the door between the two offices and came in where MT. Kidd was, leaning on his desk and looking for a key among several he had on a ring. He then went back to his own office and very soon MT. Kidd heard him go out.

He asks and invites Flagstaff people who want that kind of good times to attend. There is small balance still unpaid on Community House and if the dances more than pay for that, the balance likely will be applied to the pipe line laid last fall from the mountain reservoir.
