WEATHER REPORT FOR WEEK

Continued mild weather was favor
able for stock Of all kinds. Notwlth-
standing the unusually dry weather
stock is holding up better than might
be expected, owing to the absence of
storms and cold weather: Stock water
and the smaller irrigation reservoirs
are becoming much depleted but as
good rains may be expected in the re-
manning days of February and March
these stand to be augmented before
long. Sheep shearing is making good
progress in southern sections and
lambs are doing excellently. Range
conditions in the Pinedale section are
good and cattle fair. In the Grand
Canyon and Williams sections both
range and stock are fair. An ample
water supply is available in the Selig-
man section and stock is in fair con-
dition. In the Douglas, Thatcher and
Prescott sections both range and stock
are poor. The observer at Holbrook
reports that water is Sort, range
poor and stock fair in that section
Owing to long absence of rain range
conditions in the Nogales section are
becoming bad. Water is good in the
Whiteriver section and range and
stock fair. Stock is in good condition
and water plentiful in northwestern
New Mexico; in the southwestern por-
tion of that state the weather has
been favorable for stock but has been
dry. No losses have occurred, how
ever.

CARL HAYDEN REFUSES TO
ENDORSE EHRENBURG BRIDGE

Congressman Carl Hayden of Ari-
zona has refused to introduce the bill
for the construction of a toll bridge
across the Colorado river at Ehren-
burg, it is reported. The refusal to
aid the proposed legislation, which
would pave the way for the building
Of the bridge, is due to the fact that
the bill prepared by John Lyle Har-
rington of Kansas City, head of the
firm of bridge builders, fails to mem
tion the amount of toll to be charged
and proposition to sell the structure
to Arizona and California, jointly, at
a price to be set by the war depart
ment, and also because the proposed
structure has not had the okeh OF
Governor Hunt. The Kansas City
firm estimates the bridge viii cost
S300,0 600.

Life's Hurdle
By L. E. Bisch

Although We don't laugh half
enough, it is strange that this
common human emotion has defied
psychological analysis.
! do not mean to imply that
laughter has not been explained at
all.
1t has. But not in an encom-
passing and entirely satisfactory
manner.
To boil it down, what we know
about laughter-and its allies, wit
and humor-is scarcely more than a
list Of the things that are sure to
make US laugh.
Slapstick comedy appeals to us
by far and large more quickly and
universally than anything else.
Furthermore, s;apstick comedy
puts no strain upon our thinking.
To see another in an uncomfort-
able situation appeals to the eye,
with little or no strain on the in
tellect, and our risibilities are soon
tickled into uproarious laughter.
1t is said that the funniest thing
on earth is a hat
Sitting on a hat, having it blown
off the head, wearing it in an UNI
usual and peculiar way, ruthlessly
destroying it, decorating it fantas-
tically, all these call for n laugh.
In America We have got into the
habit of indulging in a sort Of humor
Of exaggeration.
Mark Twain was perhaps its most
renowned literary exponent.
Tell story that is exaggerated,
put it on thick. as it were, IT re it
absurd through exaggeration and
people will invariably laugh.
The basis of many jokes and
funny stories have the slapstick
DdNhblOuHu as htll ID tAdbstlublOu
behind them.
Play on words may also provoke
laughter.
Many of our jokes depend for
their fun upon double meaning.
1t is noteworthy that in all laugh
ter the laugher assumes a position
Of superiority over the one laughed
at.
This tickling of ones ego when
one laughs is perhaps the in rea-
son why we all enjoy a good laugh!
None Of US, however, laugh
enough.
When We laugh our lungs ex-
pand, We breathe deeply, and air
cells are ventilated that ordinarily
are seldom used.

Reading Walks
By DIR. FRANK CRANE

Reading walks develop both Of
these at the same time.
Out in the open air you will find
your brain is clearer, you learn
more rapidly, you think straighter.
Almost all Of the noted thinkers
have been great walkers and on
their walks they were rarely seen
without a book stuck in some peck
ct.
Lincoln is said to have carried a
book with him when he was en-
gagged in the lonely task Of split
ting rails. He fed his mind during
moments Of rest and gaveit some
thing worth while to think about
while his body worked.
One worth while book thus really
understood, absorbed, mastered and
made your own, is worth dozen
skinned through without thinking.
1t is the thinking that benefits
you most.
The difference between the mere
~ educated" man and the really
learned man is a difference in the
amount of thinking put in on what
is read.
Reading walks help establish the
habit Of thinking as well as read
ing.
They also help attain the ideal of
the old Greeks-"A sound mind in
a sound body"

Criminal Quarantine

IT. ALKING to the Federation of Women's Clubs the
other day, Chief Justice Olson declared that "our
great need is the prevention Of crimes before they
are committed"
The direct relation of this to the plan for segre
eating UNCONSTITUTIONAL individuals with criminal
tendences-s obvious AS every health department to
day guarantees bodily disease, must the disease Of
crime be segregated before spread through the
community.
When a crime has been committed, the criminal
when caught should be punished Our courts and our
system of procedure tend to failure even in this. An
occasional sentimentast supports their failure on the
theory that the wrongdoer could not help it. Real
sentiment, well real sense, dictates the policy Of
placing who cant help it." where he can't do it.

One of the useless things VIC are
always doing is to give advice TO
your friends, warning against over
doing. We oyereat, oyerwork, over
worry, over-everything.
1t takes lot of character to live
just exactly right. We know what
should be done and how to do it.
Then why don't We!
Each Of us believes in his heart,
that somehow or other he will es-
cape the usual penalties for violat-
ing the rules of life. Every time a
willful murder is committed it is
done by q man who plans and ex-
poets to evade detection.
1t is just the same way with the
ordinary rules Of hygiene. Some way,
somehow there will be found an
avenue Of escape, many believe. So
in this spirit We go through life.
Modest as we like to appear, the
fact is each Of us possesses colossal
self.conceit. We may be sensible
about everything else, but disease
and death won't catch us for years
and years!
Silly, isn't it:
You know it is silly. l know it
is silly. But you and l will con-
tinue to live in this FOOLS paradise.
Business is more exocting in many
ways than professional life. Certain
ly the responsibilities and cares Of
conducting ones own business are
more exacting and trying than arc
the burdens Of one who is employed
by somebody else. An employer or
a professional man, in the last analy-
sis, Is doing for somebody else. The
business man is doing for himself.

If you are an ambitious young
man or woman there are few better
things you can do than cultivate the
habit of taking reading walks.
The next free afternoon you have,
stick a book in your pocket and
strike out for a tramp in the coun-
try or park.
Walk a while. Then sit down
under a tree and read few pages.
Then walk on and think about
what you have read.
OF course the benefit you will de-
rive will depend upon what you
read.
Choose such books as a small vol
ume of Emerson's Essays Hal
danes "Daedalus, or Science and
the Future" Russells "Icarus,"
the "Meditations of Marcus Azure
lius," a book Of proverbs or the
speeches of Abraham Lincoln. These
are a few examples of real thought
food. There are many others be-
sides.
Read a page and then think
about what you have read.
Reading walks get you out in the
fresh air, give you healthful exer-
else, develop your body, as well as
feed your mind.
The two legs upon which the sue
cessful rise above the mediocre
throng are: First, a sound mind,
and second. q sound body.
