DROUGHT ENDS
AT CAMP VERDE

CAMP VERDE, Ariz, July IA
O.PD-Rains that have fallen in
this wide expanse of partially un-
settled cattle country throughout
the past three weeks are causing
broad smiles to once more appear
upon the bronzed faces of Lower
Verde Valley cattlemen after a con-
tinued drought of several months
which had threatened to ruin the
cattle industry here.
Droughts, the veteran cattlemen
say, can be foretold by various
means but one of the surest pro-
gnostications is certain signs in To-
cal plant life.
A shortage of loco plant on the
range in early spring presages a
"dry spell',' cowboys say, as does
also early blooming of mesquite
trees, filiree and cacti.
Scientists may scott at the be-
liefs of cattlemen but the cowboys
place far more faith in "sure signs"
Of plant life than in the weather.

TREES

When Admiral Byrd's returning exc
plorers reached New Zealand, the
sight which stirred them most, deeply
was trees. For nearly two years they
had not seen a tree. 1t is difficult
for most of us to imagine world
without trees, though in Iceland a hum
dred generations have lived and died
without ever seeing one.
We are cutting down trees faster
than we are planting new ones. We
do not think of trees as a crop, but
as natural resource to be mined
without replacement. The Federal
Farm Boards chairman lately made
a plea for the restoration of the
"woodlot" as an important part of
every farm. Trees as crop do pay.
They take longer from seed to market
than any other crop, but every sound
tree adds its little to the value of any
farm, and with the inevitable reduc-
ton in acreage devoted to money crops
and pasturage there is no better use
to which surplus land can be put than
growing trees for the future. More
over, many states now exempt retor-
ested land from taxation.

RAILROAD LINES
COUNTY VALUED
SUM $1,884,OOO
BY WILLIAM TURNBOW

United Press Staff Correspondent
PHOENIX, Ariz., July IA U.PO-
Assessed valuation of railroad pro-
perties in Arizona this year has been
placed at $11O,579, ,48O, an increase
of S62OOO0, E. A. Hughes, chairman
of the Arizona Tax Commission has
announced.
Tabulation Of assessment figures
was placed on 1850 miles of rail
lines in Arizona, with the largest
mileage being credited to the San
ia Fe and Southern Pacific rail-
reads. Valuation of the lines per
mile ranged from $25O0 to $4,000.
The smaller figures were for lum-
Der and mining company properties,
while the larger consisted of main
lines of the two transcontinental
roads.
In Santa Cruz county, 72.57 miles
Of lines were valued at $1,884 900
by the tax commission.
With 399 miles of railroad asses
sed at $17,298,O2O, Cochise county
led the state, while Maricopa coun-
ty with 1865 miles followed closely
with valuation of $14,950,172.
The report for 1929 showed two
and one-half miles more of track
age in use than was listed last year.
This was in Cochise county. The
line has been abandoned temporar-
ily.
In Arizona this year, according to
the report, 20 railroad companies
are operating, the Santa Fe and
Southern Pacific leading the list.

The great National Cemetery in
Virginia, across the Potomac River
from Washington, where William
Howard Taft, President and Chief
Justice, was laid to rest, is one of the
most beautiful spots in America It
was the estate of Robert E Lee, and
was confscated by the Federal Gov
ernment when Lee threw in his lot
with the Confederacy. Only men who
have served their country in war may
be buried there.
From the Lincoln Memorial in
Washington the great new bridge over
the Potomac leads directly to this an

There was a large block of model

BUILDING

Plans already developed for new
buildings to be constructed in 1880
call for an expenditure of nearly
double that of 1929. And this does
not include private residences. States
and municipalities have raised more
funds by bond issues in the past three
months than in any similar period, and
the proceeds of those sales will be
used for new roads, public buildings
and other Improvements. Everything
points to greater volume of construc-
ton work under way in the near fu-
ture than we have seen since the first
year or two following the war. And
that means employment for everybody.

the Boer war leaders, has served as

This object-lesson, proving that the
British government of our time is not
the tyrannical monster which it seemed
to be under George III, has done more
than anything else to establish the
friendly feeling toward Great Britain
which now prevails almost everywhere
in America.

GOLDENROD

Goldenrod is beautiful flower and
a pestilent weed. 1t grows all over the
country and so comes as near as any
to being Our national flower. Modern
medical science says it is not golden
rod but ragweed which causes hay
fever. If Henry Ford's experimental
go1denrod farm in Georgia succeeds in
commercializing Edison's discovery
that goldenrod contains rubber, we
may see goldenrod farming becoming
as widespread as wheat farming is to-
day. That is not impossible, though
hardly probable. Yet every crop the
farmer grows was once weed and
has been made into a crop by some
bodys discovery that it is useful to
humanity.

"They must have given you pretty
large dose," he said. "I'll make you
some coffee"
Luke shuddered.
"Coffee-ugh!" |"
"Gave it you in that, did they !?
That's probably why you're not dead"
He pulled down the blinds before
he lit the gas; then, going into the
little kitchen, he made coffee.
The Gunner had kept house in
places as wide apart as Biarritz is
from Munich, and knew how to brew
that delicious beverage. When he came
back Luke was sitting on the side of
/ the bed, his head in his hands.
"a couple of aspirins ought to put
you right" said the Gunner, and went
in search of the little white pellets.
Luke gulped down the medicine, and
then for the first time became con-
scious of his benefactor.
"Aren't you Gunner Haynes?" he
asked.
Haynes smiled.
"That is my name"
"Where is Connor?"
Again that cryptic smile.

"Now, Mr.. Madison, are you we'll

Luke looked up eagerly.
"You know me, then?"
The man nodded.
II knew you the first time I saw
you. There's one thing want to ask
you-is it true, the story that Connor
told? That you were in that smash
and-grab raid at Taffanny's?"
Luke nodded.

unused the Gunner. "That certainly is
amazing. I'm not asking you to ex-
plain"
'I'1l explain as soon as my head
stops splitting" groaned Luke.
1t was after two that afternoon
when he awoke from an uneasy sleep.
His head was still thick, his mouth
tasted like limekiln, but after cold
wash at the kitchen sink he was near
to his normal self; and over ciga-
rette and cup of tea he told the story
from start to finish, and this time re-
served nothing.
The Gunner listened in silence, max
ing no comment until he had finished
"Did you tell Connor this story?"
Luke nodded.
"Yes, except that naturally enough
didn't speak about my wife and the
money. Why do you ask?"
Gunner Haynes pursed his lips.
'I don't know. Connor is pretty
bad man. Your only hope is that he's
sent down for stretch-by which in
elegant word I mean terp of penal
servitude. If he gets away with this
police raid, supposing they find moth
ing on the premises-and like fool
gave him plenty of warning-Connor
is the sort of man who would investi-
gate the most unlikely story if he
thought there was chance of money
in it. And that is going to make your
temperance rather difficult matter
He lit another cigarette and stared
past his guest
"Tell me why your wife hated yor

"And Immediately after that Mrs.
Maddison's manner changed. OF
course, you weren't married then, but
that is fact, isn't it? If that is
fact, it means that Dainty carried some
evidence to the young lady that was
quite sufficient to make her play this
trick"
'I'm not blaming her." began Luke.
He saw a flicker of amusement in
the mans eyes.
"You are?"
"Wel1, not exactly" drawled the
Gunner. "I've given up blaming peo-
pie. There's no profit in it."
He ficked off the ash of his ciga-
rette carefully into his saucer.
"You can't make sudden reappear-
ance; you can't even get to Ronda and
be sure you'll get away with it." he
said. you've got yourself mixed up
with two bad gangsters-Connor and
Morel1."
He rose and paced up and down the
small room, his eyes narrowed, his
brow corrugated in thought.
"It's Connor that's worrying me. If
he's held for trial, that problem is
settled. If he isn't, and suppose you
come back from Ronda, he'll be able
to trace all your movements. Have
you got your passport"
He saw Luke thrust his hand inside
his shirt, and a look of blank dismay
come to his face.
"I've lost it somewhere"
Gunner Haynes's lips clicked inn
patiently.
eff you lost it at Keels Wharf then
you're in the SOUP" he said. There's
only one thing to do and that is to
get your passport back. There's an
other thing: l want to see the letter
that that boy wrote before he shot
himself"
Luke shook his head.
Il don't believe he wrote letter,
and if he did it was certainly des-
troyed."
Ten minutes later the Gunner left
the house on his quest.
Haynes was not prepared for the
kindness of Margaret's welcome. In
a sense it was a little embarrassing.
He had come not to give but to seek
information. 1t was vitality necessary
that he should not betray the fact
that he had any communication with
Luke.
"I'm afraid I was very rude to you
the last time you came, Mr.. Haynes" i"
she said as she sat down behind her
little desk and signalled to him to sit.
"You rather hurt my feelings about

who isn't so much of a friend as he
was," she smiled
The Gunner nodded
"That's the best news I've heard for

| impertinent I remember [ asked you
why your husband left you. I wonder
you didn't send for the police"
She laughed at this.
DO you know where my husband
is now?" she asked, and when he
shook his head her heart sank.
She had had vague idea that this
man might have come into touch with
his benefactor.
II can tell you where Mr.. Moreil is
now," he said, with a twinkle in his
eyes, "but that's not going to help you
very much. I've come to repeat my
irnpertinence, Mrs. Madison At the
back of my mind I've got notion l
can help you and your husband, who,
I have reason to believe, is in Spain." "
He said this deliberately, his eyes
challenging hers.

THE UNEMPLOYED

The worker labors day by day, and,
while he's drawing ample pay, he's hap

face, and he can dance and sing. He's
buying this and buying that, he gets
himself stovepipe hat, and things he
doesn't need; he is freeman, not
slave, and doesn't think 1t good to save
the useful chickenfeed. Few workers
can be always sure that their positions
will endure when hard times come
along: some day they're likely to be
told that they must lose the jobs they
hold, and join the foot-sore throng.
Now there are hosts of unemployed,
whose hearts are sad, their hopes
destroyed, their outlook stepped in woe;
to get a job of any sort that will pro-

The work is done as you know from
bias bands of material basted on a firm
foundation OF paper and sewed to-
gether by means Of a fagoting stitch.
The diagram shows a simple pattern.
In this case the fagoting is done with
contrasting color. while the bands are
caught together where they touch With
nconspicuous over-handing to match
the strips. This sort of pattern is
used to make the yoke and cuffs shown
in the sketch.
For the cuffs straight strip is out
lined on the paper to which the strips
are to be sewn. For the yoke 1t is
necessary to outline the shape needed
for the yoke piece and then to arrange
the strips according to this curve. For
this particular yoke. bands of colored
seam binding were used. This sort of
seam binding is sold in various light
colors and is used for fagoting designs
to save one the trouble of cutting and
folding the strips of material. BY using
strips of different colorS a charming
effect may be gained.
The actual fagoting stitch is very
easy. The thread is run through the
edge of the strip in a short running
stitch in such a way that the second
stitch starts a trifle behind the end of
the first stitch. The stitches should be
taken at regular intervals, but the
needlewonan with a good eye need
hardly trouble to measure the distance
with tape measure.
