On q! The be Range lallg
And Farms

The number of acres Of land IN
Santa Cruz County available for
cultivation, is limited. A large
amount Of the county rs noun
famous and the lands suitable
agriculturally, only for grazing
purposes However, there are ap-
proximately 10000 acres of land
in the county suitable for farm
ing under irrigation and possibly
10000 acres suitable for dry
farming purposes.
Various types of soils are found
There are very sandy soils, sandy
loans, gravelly loans, silt loams'
clav loans and certain amount
of clay soils. These soils are very
rich in fertility. The limiting fac
tor in the production Of crops is
moisture. In the valleys, where
irrigation is used, there is no limit
to the variety Of crops that may
be grown. Corn, alfalfa, barley
and cotton are the principal field
crops. Vegetables grow ldxuriant
iy and during the past few years
the Valencia onions has been tried
to some extent. It i grows well

principal irrigated crops.
IN the dry farm sections there
is no discount on the quality Of
the soils. They produce excellent
crops OF corn, grain sorghdms,,
forage crops and beans with. the
moisture from the summer rains.
Cattle raising is the principal
agricultural industry. The range
and climatic conditions are excel
lent for the breeding Of cattle.
Consequently practically all Of the
thousands Of head of cattle seen
on the ranges are breeding cows.
Most Of the calves are sold at
weaving time.
Dairying is carried on in the
county to some extent, the mar
ket for whole milk in Nogales be-
ing very good. Practically all Of
the small farmers milk a few
cows and ship cream. This fur
nishes a steady income that helps
greatly with expenses Of the farm.
There is no better climate for
the poultry farmer. The winters
are mild and the summers are not
too hot for the production Of
eggs and poultry. It is hard for

money that is brought into the
county by the small farm flock.
In addition to the numerous farm

making good money.

Where Energy Is Not Used
Up Fighting Climate

NOgaleS, Arizona, situated on
the international line separating
Mexico and the United States. has
been appropriately called the
Double Barreled City" On the
American side is the Incorporated
City Of Nogales, Arizona. On the
Mexican side, the Mexican NUM-
eipality of Nogales, Sonora. A
sixty foot street marks the poll
tical boundary line dividing the
two Cities and Countries, but in
business, in cooperation and in
PLANS for future development,
there is no dividing line. Popula-
ton, in 1925, 18,700. This year
it is estimated at $4,000.
Nogales is picturesquely set
among the hills at an altitude Of
1864 to 42OO feet and is the
County Seat of Santa Cruz Coun-
ty and the headquarters for the
Ariodna Customs District.
Nogales, "Key City to the Won

making an almost impossible bar
rier to rail communication. There
is now under construction by the
Southern Pacific Company OF
Mexico an extension to its lines
that will connect up with tie Ma
tional' Railways Of Mexico into
the City of Mexico and thus break
the isolation of the West Coast
from the interior Of Mexico. When
within the next few months,
this is an accomplished
fact, Nogales will be the
Port of Entry on one Of the larg-
est and most important transcon-
tinental trunk lines in North Am
erica.
Nogales is now preparing to
take advantage of the expansion
that will assuredly occur as re-
suit of the rail connection with
the City of Mexico. New hotels
are being built and planned; the
Southern Pacific Of Mexico is
spending large sums on improve
.ments including plans for
modern station on the
Mexican side. With the
agricultural interests Of the West
Coast having greatly increased
outlet for their products, No
gales will profit from the increas-
ed purchasing power Of its trade
territory in Mexico.
With the completion of the line
into the interior Of Mexico thous'
ands of tourists will enter Mexi-

out at Nogales as this tour Of Mex

BEAUTY CHATS
Winter-Time Hands.

These days are hard on the hands.
The best thing I can think of for this
time of the year and the colder days
that are to come Is a cosmetic glove
treatment occasionally at night.
There are several kinds of cosmetic
glove treatments. One Is quite sim

a nourishing cold cream. rubbing and

skin, then pulling on old white cotton
gloves to protect bed clothes, or your
own clothes If you do this during the
day, while the hands go on taking up
more of the cream.
Another hand treatment Is made by
melting an ounce OF cocoa butter in
an ounce and half of almond oil,
adding a dram of oxide of zinc, which
is healing and bleaching, and a dram
Of powdered borax. This Is a rich.

Rest and Change From Daily Routine
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

For example, two suits used alter
natoiy wear longer than two bought
one after the other and each worn
until threadbare. So having two suits
of everyday clothes for man or wom-
an is actually economical. The idea
of rest having anything to do with the
matter would have been scoffed at
few years ago. Now it is recognized
fact. Experiments have proven the
truth The very fiber of the material
regains it's strength of endurance,
which we call its wearing quality"
just by being laid one side to rest.
This same is true of shoes, stockings
and other wearing apparel.
Tools and Utensils.
Tools and utensils require change
to keep them at their best. That is,
either two of kind should be used
alternately when the article needs TO
be constantly employed, or time
should elapse between the using of
the same article many times in sue
cession. Fortunately for household
utensils, the very variety of work
makes the use of different utensils
usual rather than the constant use of
any one in particular. Kettles, for
example, of different sizes and types
are used for different purposes, and
not one for all purposes.
1t will be seen that efficiency de-
mands rest of persons to recuperate
for continued excellence of work,
health and happiness and good looks,
and that rest is economical for things
which wear out sooner when used
constantly.

SUB ROSA
BY MIMI.

| This is the second time we've spok-
en- about the matter-but we find 1t
necessary to speak sharply to you
girls on the subject of clothes again
/ today.
You've been behaving very badly
| lately--some Of you. I've watched
you on subways, in restaurants, the
aters, and hotels and I've lOnged to
shake some of you firmly and say:
Don't you remember what told you
couple of months ago about the
folly of dressing simply to after your
face? You think you look stunning
because you've made your face pretty
and youthful--but you don't. You
look like an overgrown sausage.
What causes this savage outburst?

making themselves look overdressed
and ridiculous in order to give their
faces the proper setting.
For instance, Velma Is awfully
pleased with herself over a new coat
she's just bought.
She phoned me the other night that
she was going to run in on me just
to give me the full benefit of the new
purchase-she wanted to hear my
shrieks of admiration.
When she breezed into the living
room, her face was rosy. her eyes
sparkling, her hair enchantingly
waved and fiat under a smart little
felt hat. And an enormous fur collar
of genuine blue wolf stood out several
feet from her neck and swept grandly
down the front of her coat. setting
OK the pretty laughing face to the
best advantage possible.
For what is more f1attering to the
average pretty girl than a wealth Of
soft fur next to her face. There was
no getting away from it, Velma had
done her face a great favor when
she selected coat with the enormous
fur trimming to enhance her beauty.
But, oh, dear, when she turned and
minced away from me to give me a
slant at the back view. what a cruel
establishment awaited me.
The huge collar dragged on the coat,
made it lumpy. punched itself around
Velmas figure, until she looked like
nothing more than a badly tied bundle.
She hadn't one iota of style, viewed
from the side or back. Simply she
looked pretty from the front.
She hadn't bought that coat to be
really smart. / don't believe she even
knew that the lines Of the thing were
just smiled at her pretty reflection and
assured herself that she was we'll
dressed.
Yet Velma is sensible enough to
turn and stare with admiration at the
stunning stranger who sweeps through
a hotel lobby in smart, perfectly
!, fitting cloth coat, with just a small
collar and cuffs Of some really good
fur.
Velma has the sense to realize that
she's out of the picture, when a really
looking woman comes
into view. Only she hasn't sense
enough to analyze what she herself
lacks. and do something about 1t.
She continues to give her face a
square deal and she neglects her
figure utterly. So many Of you are
doing the same thing. Cut it out.
Before you buy anything, be it hat,
shoes, dress or coat. give your back
and side views a long look-and then
make the purchase.

The conception of nervous break
down" is absurd because it is not
only figurative, but quite fallacious.
1t implies exhaustion, a running
down, a kind of bankruptcy. does it
not? But exhaustion or giving out
of what? Nerve energy? Vitality?
Patience? Courage? Confidence?
Hope? Endurance? Capacity to con.
centrate? Mental efficiency? Shucks,
we're only getting colder and colder.
The plain truth--and I tell 1t not to
irritate nervous" people, but to help
them find themselves-is that the idea
of nervous breakdown" or nervous
exhaustion" or nervous prostration'
ly lack of nerve strength. was coined
by old time nerve specialists" tnow
obsolete) conspiring with a very de-
sirable class of patients or clients
who wished a nice respectable abb
for everyday use. By no stretch or
twist of physiology can we make the
nervous system responsible for any
form of energy or strength, and the
individual who explains or excuses
his frailties or failures by pleading
nervous weakness" or anything like
that is simply concealing the truth,
knowingly or innocently.
Now, then, am not prepared to
suggest to any victim Of the nervous
exhaustion" hoax what really ails him
is not his nerves" simply publish
the plain, scientific facts here and
defy anybody to refute them.
But hang 1t, we're getting nervous
about the nerves, when our subject
was to be the veins.
Venous breakdown is never featured
in the news or gossip OF theday, but
it happens often enough. We have

WINTER
By d. C. PEATTIE.
Owls.

Owls.
AS all who read the papers know,
we are being visited this year by an
invasion Of white owls from the Arc
tic. Some read in this the presaging
Of a bitter Winter: others. less meta
physical, believe that scarcity of
rabbits has driven the owls In search
Of their favorite food. Certain 1t is
that every few years we experience
one of these uncanny visitations.
There Is no denying that the
psychical effect of the owl Is some
how supernatural. The owl is thought
to be wise, but like the man at the
English dinner party, who had the
reputation for being a sage because
he was so silent Gntil Yorkshire pud-
ding was brought on, and he ex-
claimed: "Them's the fellers for me-"
the owls stare is not penetration, but
stupidity, or at least stupefaction.
His silence Is a sort of yokelish craft;
his weird screech only a self-Satisfied
Wanting.
When the owl is preying upon rab-
bit or field mouse or squirrel, he has
the sense to be silent; his flight Is alb
solutely soundless. like the tread of a
cats paw. When he strikes with that
short cruel bill, he strikes to para
lyze or kill.
Macbeth. listening guiltily, hears,
or thinks he hears. the owl scream:
yet Shakespeare heard the owls
whistle in lighter vein. In the song,
when Icicles Hang by the WALL" he
brings the owl in as a jolly refrain,
and to me the soft, quavering call
of the owl tribe Is never ghoulish,
but merry, sweet and even a little
ridiculous.
