Story of an Orange.

SOMETHING more than so years
- ago the seedless orange was first
heard of. The late William Saunders
OF the Department of Agriculture
brought it from Brazil in 1870. From
Washington it was distributed to the
orange-growing sections of the. United
States. At first 1t was known as the
Bahia orange, but the Brazilian name
is now forgotten and it's marvellous
Roadway in California has been made
under the name of navel"
Normally, the orange has 10 divi-
sions or compartments of the pulp
with single axis. But generations of
cultivation have increased these di.
visions and in some cases created a
secondary axis. 1t is from that tend.
ency to a secondary axis that the
modern seedless orange has been bred.

Mrs. Thomas MacRae, general man
ager of the historical pageant which
was given in Casa Grande last No
vember, was in Douglas Saturday for
the purpose of organizing a committee
nthis city to prepare for Douglas
and the countys part in the coming
Grand canyon pageant to be staged in
June, 1925.
Mrs MacRae has, just returned from
visit to Los Angeles where she per
sonally Interested the Los Angeles
chamber Of commerce and other Cali
fornia organizations in the Arizona
pageant. While in Los Angeles she
met William Cricl1baum of the cham
ber of commerce and received a prom
Use of aid from him in getting coop
Grafton from California to make the
pageant a success.
Creakbaum suggested John Steven
McGroarty for the position of director
of the pageant, and also promised to
reach 100000 California residents
with advertising. Mrs. MacRae showed
many pictures and letters from Cali
foria papers and men to prove that
the yhad kept all promises in regard
to the recent pageant. Among these
was a long article with pictures in
the California Automobile club booklet,
Touring Topich
In speaking of the coming pageant,
Mrs. MacRae briefly sketched the plans
already formulated in regard to this
pageant endeavor. She emphasized the
fact that every city and county would
have an opportunity to TAX epart in
the Grand canyon pageant in one way
or another. Christopher Totten, man
ager of the Smoki Indians, has offered
every Indian in the Smoki tribe as a
participant in the pageant.
Charlotte Hall, an Arizona writer,
was suggested as the one to write the

pageant itself. The Little Theatre
group in Phoenix will have an active
part in the pageant. as well as the
Shannon players at the University of
Arizona
Under the present plan there will be
a ne wcommittee of northern men ap-
pointed to handle the Grand canyon
pageant, and another to handle the
Casa Grande pageant later in the same
year. The idea has been suggested
that the Indian atmosphere and history
be emphasized over every other phase
of Arizona life.
In regard to the advertising value
of the pageants, Mrs. MacRae said that
newspaper men to whom she had talk
ed estimated the Casa Grande pageant
to hav ebeen worth more than one
million dollars in advertising.
Coming back to the Douglas part in
pageantry, Mrs. MacRae announced
that Douglas would be expected to
appoint soon committee consisting
of seven men and women to prepare
for the pageant.
Mrs. MacRaes enthusiasm reached
the high points when she described the
mind picture she had of the coming
pageant, when several hundred thou
sand people would witness the worlds
greatest pageant on the rim of the
greatest picture from Gods paint
brush, the Grand canyon of Arizona"
Mrs. MacRae is travelling all over
Arizona at the present time in order
to reach every city in connection with
the work of the Arizona Pageantry
association, to make the next pageant
not local or state affair, but nation
wide in its appeal. In this city She
enlisted the chamber of commerce and
the Borderland Climat eclub in the
plans now under way.

number OF good suggestions to
farmers and other poultry raisers on
the care and selection of Matching
eggs have just been issued by H. Is.
1inGs Of the agricultural extension
service of the University of Arizona.
Kinds pamphlet reads as follows:
THE hen lays eggs to reproduce
her kind and not for the purpose CT
supplying us with a wholesome food
as is generally thought by most
people. Every part of the egg has
some specific task in the production
Of the finished product, the baby
chick. The care of Matching eggs
depends en- the knowledge of the
duties to be performed by each parr
in the development of the chick.
'1he she'll or retaining wall for
the edible part of the egg is COM
posed of lime which is used to give
strength to the bone. An examina
tion of the shell under a microscope
shows it to be full of minute holes
OF pores through which oxygen and
carbon dioxide pass during the pro-
cess of incubation.
about rs per cent of the eggs
content is water and to retard the
roo rapid escape of the water
through the pores of the shell a
gelatinous substance is added to the
moved. as by washing ,of. eggs, the
evaporation is very rapid and decay
ing organisms enter through the
pores. This greatly impares. the
Matching as well as the keeping
quality of the egg.
"1he air cell is formed by the
separation of the two SHELF mem
branes and is usually at the large
end of the egg. This air is for
definite purpose and is to be used
for the chick to breathe just before
it breaks the she'll An egg which
has been handled roughly may cause
the rupture of the inner shell mem
brane, allowing the air cell to move
about in the egg and 1.-The chick
rarely matches. Packing setting eggs
with the large end down is another
serious error as the air cell is In
Jured.
'The developing chicks food for
the first 16 days of incubation is the
white of the egg. After the white
is absorbed, the yolk is assimilated,
showing that every part of the egg
has specific part in the reproduc,
tion of the chicken.
The ability of eggs to hatch de-
teriorates rapidly after the fifth day
and it is not advisable to hold them
longer than seven days before
setting.

F ord Has Two Lives,
Battery and Magnetic

Most motorists carry spare tire
extra fuses and light bulbs and cross
country travellers usually have extra
cans of oil, gasoline and water, but
according to Byron Dieckman,. local
Ford dealer, the Ford is the only car
which has an extra ignition system.
"The dual ignition system of battery
and magnetic was one of the original
distinguishing characteristics of the
Ford car" says Dieckman, "and every
year thousands of Ford owners thank
their lucky stars that Henry Ford has
retained this system throughout the
life of the car.
NEARLY everybody who drives car
has the experience at one time or an
other of running down the battery.
And this weakness of the automobile
usually manifests itself at the most
Unfortunate moment-on a cold morn
ing when the driver is in a hurry to
get, downtown, or Is miles from a SER
vice station, or on rainy day or
when he is mired in the mud, or on
his way to a wedding.
because of the foresight on Henry
Ford and his. insistence of sticking to
fundamentals, it takes more than a
rundown battery to make the Ford
driver get out and get under. If his
battery begins to get weak, he merely
turns the switch over to MAG and
away he goes.
THE dual ignition system of the
Ford is form of insurance that own
IN h1lt
gives them sense OF security ana
confidence in their car and has had no
little to do with the unusual perform
ance records of Ford cars. Ford driv-
ers are not afraid to venture out into
deserts, over mountains, or in rainy
weather because they know that if
one spark of life dies, they have an,
other one to turn to-"
