In kitchens glistening with spotlessness,
whitehead cheese makers transform this

RIZON A
BY CHARLES G. FANCHER.
(Written for The Mail.)

Out here in Arizona where the air
is pure
And the desert grips you tightly
with most uncanny lure,
Where the mountains lift their rug
ged peaks
Straight up to heavens blue,
Where the sun comes up in glory,
And goes down in glory too,
The mountains keep their secrets,
And the desert too is mute,
And the music that we feel they
know
Is unknown to harp or lutte.
The remnants of her peoples, too,
are slowly passing by,
AS others passed before them, I'M
der just as blue a sky.
Arizona! Thou'rt mystery doubt
man may ever tell,
Weaving over all thy land a most
mysterious spell.
The mark of man is on thy cliffs,
and has for ages been,
And deep beneath the painted soil
lie fossil bones therein.
Some magic turned thy trees to
stone, and laid them down to rest,
And a visitor from the celestial
shore lies hidden in thy breast.
And thy canyons? Arizona! Now
it's time for me to cease,
For justice here I can not do, and
would not my God displease,
For men sometimes WELD crippled
pens, and mine is weak at best
But of all the lands beneath the
Arizona leads the rest.
And when the light shall come at
last, the last that men shall
see,
May the last man gaze on that
light and thank his God for
thee.

THE CURSE OF
DRINK
By G. w. NELSON.
Cor The Winslow Mail.)

1 have followed the hearse of all
my hopes.
l have buried them one by one.
Gaze upon me and you will see
What the curse of drink has done.
1, too, had a home, a wife and
child,
But now 1 am all alone.
Oh, goodness, 1 should never have
taken that first
Insiduous ice cream cone!
But l was young and my friends
they were false.
Just one can not hurt you," they
said,
And 1 started one night and look
at me now
Ye mackerel, what a life have led!
My mother said willie, lay off
that Vanilly;
Them there phosphates will lead,
you astray,
And the devil himself is in sas-
PARTLY,
And his den in them fountains so
gay"
But, fool that I was, 1 laughed her
to ScOrn-
I thought l could take it or leave
it alone,
And drank that same day a choc-
olate frappe;
My heavens, if 1 had but known!
That was the start of my downfall,
my friends;
From then on it was easy to fit
From a pathway of vice to pine
apple ice
And that hellish banana split.
And then one day an angel came
into my life.
II love you, Willie" she said.
And l loved her so dearly that for
year nearly
A temperate life l led.
Then one night l fell into an ice
cream den,
I skunk in with sinful stink
And when night came on I stag
gered home
Again the victim of drink.
Those days of shame are horrible
dream
That will haunt till the day of my
death.
This morn when / kissed my child
she cried in accents wild,
Daddy, you've raspberry crush
on your breath"
What will become of this wreck of
a man,
This quivering broken reed?
Another coca-cola, with a straw"
l cried
My goodness, what life lead!

same purpose which are models in
their line.
Remarkable advancement has
been made in school printing
classes during the last few years,
not only as to the matter of me-
chanical equipment, but also in
methods of instruction. Not long
ago it was considered sufficient to
give a few students instruction in
the art of printing with the aid of
a small press and a case or two OF
type, but today the average public
school having printing depart
ment employs a professional teach
er of printing, and has a real print
shop to help make the course sue
cessful
The printing equipment of one
great manual training bschool in
cludes two cylinder presses, a bat
terry of platen presses, an automatic
Job press, complete composing
room and small but well-equipped
bindery. This institution is part
of the regular public school system,
and the students attending the vari-
Gus classes in manual training re-
ceive high school education in adj
dition to the practical course OF
instruction. Those in the printing
classes take course covering four
to five years, and they learn how
to do cylinder presswork, job press
work, straight matter and display
composition, imposition, book bind
ing, and so forth. The instructors
are all practical printers.
This is the correct method of
teaching printing, of course, but as
only comparatively few boys can
dIlOTu IuG Clu1C ACCOOOdA LA IOh
ing daytime high school course
at a manual training school, night
classes in printing are absolutely
necessary. A number of both gram
mar schools and high schools now
have evening classes in printing as
we'll as day classes in the same art
and all these classes are well at
tended.
In the night printing classes OF
at least three grammar schools the
course of instruction Includes spell
ing, grammar, punctuation, mathe-
MATES, freehand drawing, color
harmony and the preparation OF
/ typographical layouts. Much this
same course is being followed in
another night school, but in addi-
ton there is a special course of in
struction in machine composition
makeup and the imposition OF
book forms.

PRINTING IN THE SCHOOLS.

THERE was time, not so very
many years ago, when boys
were eager to accept employment
in printing and newspaper offices
for the privilege of learning the
trade The country printing office
proved to be the great stepping
stone for many man who later in
life achieved fame in the world of
letters, art or politics. That, too,
in the day when the processes of
printing had not reached the
heights they now occupy, when re-
productive processes were compare
lively crude, and the mechanics of
printing were just beginning to de-
yelop into the intricate systems of
today.
\ But there are few apprentices
going into printing shops to spend
four or five years learning the
trade. Other trades are mastered
more quickly and pay, probably, a
larger wage at the end of few
months of service. The printing
industry is feeling the effects of
the lack of apprentices. Capable
craftsmen are becoming scarcer at
a time when the output of printing
plants is growing in volume.
One result of this condition,
which will in the next few years
approach crisis, is that the Inter
national Typographical Union has
begun a system of teaching appren-
tees through correspondence, and
has established a school in which
is taught practical printing and
where the student is given intensive
training with type, presses, paper
and colors.
Leading educators throughout the
United States are recognizing the
logic of the American Type Found
ers company's slogan, Printing is
an industrial art that combines Gull
tural and manual educational adj
vantages," fact that is indicated
by the increasing number of school
printing classes. Many of the
larger public schools now have a
complete printing plant in regular
operation for the instruction of stu
dents, and number of high schools
are equipped with plants for the

cial aviation.
Congress will hardly face a task
more important than this. There
is every reason to promote the man
ufacture and use of airplanes for
business purposes.
Such a program serves two direct
purposes. In the first place it will
wonderfully increase, if entered on
a large scale, the facilities of bust
ness. 1t will add a powerful trans
portation unit. 1t will have its in
slant. effect on distribution and
will put more goods in the reach
of more people. 1t will have its
ultimate effect on living costs.
In the second place we shall be
building and using profitably dur
ing time of peace one of the most
powerful agents of war.
There is great deal of differ
ence between militarism and intel
ligent defense.
Building battleships beyond the
legitimate needs of defense, for in
stance, is militarism. Battleships
are purely fighting instruments.
They are not profitable implements
of peace.
Building fleets of airplanes, even
in the greatest numbers, is not
militaristic. For the prime bust
ness of airplanes is in the carrying
trade. We shall be equipping our
selves for new and ever greater
prosperity.
And yet, in wartime, if we have
followed out this peace program in
telligently, we shall be "set," so to
speak, with the last word in wars
equipment.
Allowing for much soundness on
both sides and listening both to
the naval board and to Colonel
Mitchell of the air service, we are
all obliged to admit that whatever
branch of the national defense at
tracts our particular enthusiasm,
the airplane has the widest range
of useful activity and is far cheap
er.
Possessing a great fleet of air.
planes is like having our cake and
eating it, too. We eat our cake
with huge comfort in peacetime and
have our cake if the winter of war
shall come.
