AN ESSAY ON MULES

A special dispatch from ElKton
Maryland, brings the news that an

heir mules in a lot adjoining the
womans home on the ground that
the nelghing OF the animals "dis-
Lurbed her peace OF mind has
been dismissed, and it is added that
Lae woman has moved away.
The dispatch doesn't say whether
The dismissal was the result OF the
woman moving away or because the
court found more justice in the

Astronomers tell Ns the eclipse Is
caused by the moon passing between
the earth and the sun. The moon
like the earth has no light OF lis
own and shines only because it re
tiects 10 us light OF the sun which
talls upon ii. So when 1t comes
between us and the sun the sun
shines only upon the SIDE OF the
moon which Is turned away froM
us. The side of the moon towar'
us will be dark except Tor a little
light reflected back to it from the
earth.

CATTLE OUTLOOK
REPORTED GOOD
FOR NEXT YEAR

The outlook for the cattle industry
during the coming year is decidedly
favorable, according to an announce
ment by officials of Armour & Co.,
who declare that their experts have
completed an extensive study of eco
nomic conditions since the close of the
war.
The officials declare that there is
every indication that the corner has
been turned and that the western
breeder will have an opportunity
during the next few years of making
fair return on capital and labor.
They base the prediction on the as
sumption, which they say is borne out
by statistics, that beef prices run in
cycles, and that during the past two
years they have reached the bottom,
as compared to their relationship with
other staple commodities.
The favorable industrial conditions
throughout the United States are
among the contributing factors to an
upward trend in beef prices, accord
ing to the report, as the conditions
provide men of all classes with work
and consequently increase the buy
ing power of the nation. They pre-
dict that the beef prices will again
reach average conditions by 1928, and
that history will repeat itself within
10 or II years, when the prices will
slump again.
They base this prediction on the
tendency toward expansion in the
size and number of herds. They say
that the expansion will bring about
competition for grazing and feed
which will raise the cost of produc-
ton to a point where cattle raising
will again become Improbable
The report quoted by the officials
says in part: while evidences for
the future are meager, there seems
to be little question but that the
range cattle industry is headed for
a slow rise. This does not warrant
rapid expansion, for it will be several
years before range animals return to
their average purchasing power. The
trend is very definite, however, not
enough perhaps to warrant financing
the 1919 debts for three or four more
years, instead, of liquidating them
now, but, on the other hand enough
to warrant production on a sound
financial basis"

AIRPLANE TRIPS
OVER THE GRAND
CANYON COMING

Bob Hausler, ex-member of the
Photographic section of the army air
service, is laying plans for an elabor-
ate tour service, to be conducted by
arplane from Winslow, and to en-
compass flights over the Painted
Desert, the Hopi villages, following
where it joins the main river, thence
westward through, above and along
the Grand Canyon, past Ell TOvar
hotel, and thence to Kingman.
He plans to make the trip one de
luxe, and for the purpose he will pro-
vide planes with glass enclosed bod
les, wicker chairs for passengers, so
that they may spend the few hours of
the trip out of the wind and away
from the roar of the motor. The
planes will carry eight passengers at
time.
Mr.. Hausler plans to conduct the
service in connection with the Santa
Fe passenger service. Passengers
will alight from the California Limtted
No 8, in the evening here, Immediately
embark on the planes, be taken across
the country and down the canyon dur
ing the hour before sunset, and be
landed in Kingman in ample time to
re-embark on the train they left in
Winslow 1t may be that they will
be able to catch the train at Ashfork,
or even Williams.
A return trip will be made in con-
nection with the Limited going east,
picking up passengers at some point
west of here and following the same
course back to Winslow, permitting
the passengers to catch their train at
this point.
1t may be that planes will meet all
daylight trains going west at Winslow,
and all trains east bound at Kingman.
Mr.. Hausler expects that the service
can be extended to a point where sew
eral planes of large passenger capac-
ity will be utilized.
A California commercial airplane
company has been interested in the
project, and as soon as the landing
fields being built across northern Ari
zona are completed, and warm wea-
ther sets in preliminary trip or two
will be made as an experiment.
