Old Settlements in
This "Young Country

The United States is still character
lied as a young country" Yet its
oldest city, st. Augustine, has cele-
brated its 359th birthday, writer in
the Montreal Herald notes. Many
important European centers of pOpu-
lation had not been planned or even
conceived when this little Florida city
was planted among the pines by Don
Pedro Adelentado in 1865. The kind
of civilization which was then brought
to this continent has very consider
ably Influenced the national American
institutions, especially in several Of
the Southern states.
The next oldest European settle
ment in North America still in exist
ence is Annapolis Royal, formerly
Port. Royal. This was the early cap
ital of Nova Scotia at a time when
that colony included not only the
present province by that name, but
New Brunswick, Prince Edward Is
land Newfoundland and part of the
present province of Quebec and the
Labrador coast as far north as I'm
gava bay. The first wheat was sOWn
by the hand of a white man in North
America at Port Royal in 1908, and
the first wheat mill was constructed
in the same place in 1906. 1t was
probably a tidal mill.

CROP OF ADVISERS
NEVER FALLS SHORT
Production Always More
Than Equal to Demand.

1t may not be any better to give
than to receive advice" said Mr.. Cato
Ninetails, but it is a good deal pleas
anter. In fact, giving advice is about
the most popular indoor and outdoor
sport. Supply and demand have no
more to do with it than they have
with the price of coal. Practically no.
body wants advice, but full production
continues just the same. Most of it is
not only disinterested, but none of the
advisers business, so the mere fact
that it is ignored or even openly re-
jected does not discourage him in the
least 1t is not followed, from neces-
sity, because it is so conflicting that
no one could follow all of it without
stultifying. and even multiplying, him
self That, of course, is of small CON
sequence because, for the most part,
advice is merely conversation-like
personal weather predictions-tal for
talks sake, and probably no one would
be more surprised - and perhaps
shocked-than the adviser if it We're
taken seriously. The truth Is that
most people don't want advice There
are lots of reports about statesmen
and captains of industry always be-
ing ready to listen to it. and they may
be, but there are many other things
that they would rather do. Advice
merely wastes their time without al
tering their plans, and puts a strain
on their tolerance without compensa-
ton. Speaking generally, the only
kind of advice that most people want
is the kind that costs them money.
This they get at rather high rates
from their lawyers, doctors, special
counsalOrs and other experts, and the

"THE ROAST BEEF
OF OLD ENGLAND"
Nothing Din,s John Bulls
Loyalty to National Dish.

l can never understand people well
until l see them eating. 'Tell me
what you eat and I'll tell you what
you are" If you eat roasted meats
and well-cooked vegetables, you are
an Englishman; if you eat well-sea
soned dishes, with a liberal use of
sauces, you are French; if you don't
eat, you are Spanish
would take these Englishmen, so
strong and high-colored, and | would
put them in a Madrid boarding house;
at the end of two weeks they would
be so weak that | could maui them
without any difficulty, declares
writer in the Chicago Evening Post
An English military authority once
said "Where the Spanish soldier
would consider himself well-fed the
French soldier would be on half ra
lions. and the English soldier would
starve to death" The English are
prodigious eaters, but as they are not
epicurean they are slim, strong and
healthy, and not fat and heavy like
the French.
| have seen an advertisement of the
Muller contingencies this advertise
ment is divided into seven parts, cor
responding to the seven days of the
week Monday shows platter with
an enormous piece of roast beef; be-
low appears the same roast, a little
smaller; 1t IS Tuesdays fare. BY
Wednesday the roast has diminished
in mathematical proportion. Thurs
day roast beef Friday roast beef. BY
Saturday the roast has assumed mi
croscopic proportions
But" you will say, "surely they eat
something else in London besides
roast beef"
Yes; in addition to roast beef they
eat more roast beef These English
divide the same portion of roast beef
in two pieces so that foreigners may
not say that here one eats only one
thing.
The variety of the roast beef CON
sists in the vegetables; boiled pota-
! toes and cabbage, all without salt.
If one could at least have some
variety in the cooking of the potatoes
But no; Mondays potatoes are like
those of Sunday, Sundays like those

I potato. England, ladies and gentle
| men, is a serious country.
! In the slang of Paris. the English
are called roast beef. VIOLA hn roast
beef" the French say of an English
man.
The fact is that by dint of eating
roast beef through generations, the
English of today look good deal like
enormous pieces Of roast beef. They
| have the same color, the same health,
the same senstiveness as roast beef.
An Englishman eating a piece of roast
beef makes me think of a cannibal
devouring fellow man.

ONION WEEK NOVEMBER 22-27.

Bisbee - A canvass will be
made in the district by a com.
mittee from the chamber of com
merce to determine how many
pounds of Spanish onions each
merchant can dispose of, it was
decided at a meeting Wednesday
night of special committee ap
pointed to work out plans for
onion week to be held November
% to 81. The committee, com.
posed of H. E. Wootton, Ben
Frankenberg, Arthur Clothier
John Russell, laid tentative
plans for the special week and
will meet again soon to decide
definitely what program will be
followed.
The week is designed to inter.
est local people and merchants
in the Spanish onion industry
which bids fair to make the Sui
phur Springs valley one of the
richest in the south west. Only
in its infancy, the industry is
taking such a hold on the farm
ers of all valleys in the county
that within the next two years
more Spanish onions will be
grown in Cochise county than in
any other district in America.
The greatest problem to be solv.
ed is the market, and while the
county cannot hope to consume
all the onions raised, the local
committee plans 10 help the
farmers get rid of their last
years crop. Some of the onions
have been shipped to eastern
markets, but because of lack of
organization there are several
thousand bushels yet to be dis
posed of and the committee
hopes to take part of them off
the farmers hands.
Primarily the special week is
to be set aside to show the farm,
ers that Bisbee is Interested in
everything they do, and the dis
posal of the onion crop is only
secondary. Prizes will be offer.
ed for the best recipe for onion
dishes, thereby creating a greater
demand for them and it is posi-.
BILE that school children will be
asked to write prize essays on
why onions are the most health.
