Deny IL Is Desert State

Arizonas sons are doing some
propaganda work to refute the idea
that their Commonwealth is the des-
ert State. There are 11.204,404 acres
OF forest within it's limits and there
are some very tall trees around Flag
staff, which are said to be 600 years
old.
There is wide range OF wood
from clear pine in great demand for
finishing to the railroad ties. which
are constantly being called for by the
railroad companies. 1t must be stat
ed. however, that the forests are gen.
orally composed of trees that rarely
reach any great height, for they
grow in a region which Is almost
without water.
A tract of $500 acres in Sitgreaves
forest has been designated for tur-
pentine production, an industry
which is quite new to this locality.
1t has been determined that the
western yellow pine will return about
four-fifths as much turpentine as a
given area of Florida pine.
Tapping for turpentine can be con-
Quoted experimently over a period
of seven years. after which the trees
thus tapped will be marked for the
sawyer.

A Normal Town

In the town of Normal. a small
suburb of Lincoln, Neb., is the small
est bank in the country. It was or
ganized three years ago with a capt.
tai of $4,000. Today it's assets have
increased more than tenfold. In a
small frame structure only 16x20
feet. it represents total amount of
resources which might easily be the
envy of some of our banking houses,
for its stockholders are conserva-
lively estimated to be worth upward
OF $3.OO0,OOO. While some banks in
the last three years have had to
charge off a great many losses, this
bank has had the perfect record of
no losses and no change in the eigh-
teen stockholders or in the directors
or officers.

League Plans Big
Gathering to Talk Over
Reduction Armaments

Geneva, Sept. 9.-(By' A. P0-Fol-
lowing out the idea that the league of
nations is a mechanism for holding
successful international conferences,
officials are already directing their
thoughts to plan for a great interna-
tional gathering for reduction of arm
aments which, it is expected. will be
held at Geneva within a year.
The question of American participa-
ton is causing increasing interest and
comment. The most general opinion is
that the United States naturally would
want to take part in the naval arma-
ment phase of the conference. al
though it might be disinclined to par
ticipate in the discussion on reduction
of land ornaments, which is regarded
as peculiarly European question.
Although the United States is not a
member Of the league. no objection is
seen by the league people to inviting
the Americans.

Why Horses Arc ShOd

The horses which run at large In
the plains country so barefoot, yet
they have foot-hcalth. 1t is only un-
der the artificial conditions imposed
by man that the horse requires
shoes. A good deal of this neces-
sity for shoes arises from hard pave
ments and roads which the horse is
worked on.
But there is another reason. The
stabbed horse does not get at night
a foot dew bath. He needs that dew
bath. The moisture can be supplied
and sometimes is, by packing thc
foot each night in wet clay, meth
