THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN, FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 10, 1911 PAGE FIVE SALT RIVER VALLEY IS H. LAKE REAPPEARS ORGANIZED FARM AND SCORES BIG HIT i Tabasco Soubrette Captures House COMMUNITY II AURIGA Dr. K. L Butterfield Declares Irrigated Valley Where Even- Success Depends on Co-operation is Magnifi cent 'I'lace in Which to Try Out Ideas of Intensive Farming, Associational Selling and Buying and Crop Credits' That Make Europe Greatest Agricultural Continent in the World Massachusetts Aggy College President Enthused Over Assets of the Valley with Sizzling Performance "In all of my extensive travels and dose observations. I have never seen a farming community so well and in telligently organized as in tiie Salt River valley." That was the conclusion that Ken yon L. Butterfield reached and an nounced in a speech before a (fath ering of irrigators at the Water Us ers assembly room yesterday. Dr. Uutterficld's subject was "Agricultur al Lessons From Kuropc." In dis cussing it .he said that America is In the habit of accepting everything agricultural that comes out of Eur ope as just a little bit of all right. This should not be the ease. Part or the lessons are in what to avoid, rot -in what to adopt of continental methotls. . There are a number of factors af fecting the rural successes of Europe . They are: Access to the land. A large per cent of the farms are owned by the men who till them. Increased land values are not prohibitive, as they would be in the I'nited States. Fut ures in crops are bases for credit that enables the young farmer to acquire land. Loans. Farm banks extend operat ing credits that make possible the intensive development of the field. Intensive farming is much more ex pensive than extensive. Amortization.' This is the word that was tacked to the system of small repayments on long time loans. Direct loans from the government to the farmer were found unprofitable long ago, ami the idea that the gov ernment is doing the carrying for the farmer is wrong antiquated. Collective buying anil selling. Co operation here as well as in farm credits is fast making the market a thing of the past. Association brok erage eliminates the profit taking of the middleman raises the farmer's bit and lowers the consumer's cost. Education. Among the farm child ren of Europe there is a complete system of vocational training and se lection. Not only are the rural schools numerous and well equipped, but there are agricultural schools, which --n be' attended for ft few weeks, at a time as leisure permits. These are accessible not oniy tc children but to their elders. Beautifying the country. The mor al ami relieious uplift that follow, the cleaning up of the community In ml the improvement of roads, bridg I es, streams, etc.. is one of the strong I factors in the success of agricultural Europe. The city. Co-operation within the city is aiding the farmer more thap many believe. System and efficiency in the relations of the rural and urban populations helps both,, and raises" the standards of living. ; Dr. Hiitteifield said that an irri gated country where everything is conducted by means of organization, is the very best place for the testing of the European system. He liken ed the Salt River valley to Holland, saying that here as well as there he had been 'struck by the efficacy of the slogan: "Self Help, Free Farm ers, Free State." Government help anil government initiative is dele terious, he said, for it deprives the f irmer of that which has made him capable of handling wihlwood and making it profitable. Xow that there are no more problems of fighting nature in her more savage moods, the farmer is confronted by the more serious problem is attacked by the j more insidious foe nature refined j and modernized. A definite agricul tural policy is needed. I As there remains one big puzzle for Europe to solve. s is there a great !e hain of them for the American far water, the system i mer. Across the j of co-operative selling is the only i one not perfected. Here more attenr- lion is being paid that question, but the more properly fundamental prob j lems of co-operative production are I yet mysteries of the future. The speaker reviewed the Work of the two commissions .which' recently ! observed European methods for the benefit of American farmers. One ! was that commission of seven ap ; pojnted by the president, and the other was the larger body of about i seventy delegates from the granges ! of thirty states ami five Canadian i provinces. ! Two of the ideas that prevail in i Europe, but will not do here, were ! those of women working in the fields and ot .-small farm acreages, i - Some interesting figures on the I latter are: j Germany 14 acres ! Ireland to res I Denmark tiu-7o acres s and K acres Someone said, "There is no royal troad to learning." He might have gone one better and said there is no royal road to being a stage favorite. ! "If it isn't, it just naturally ain't," that j what the sage of oPssum Hollow said. And it goes double and takes in the lookout, when applied to theatricals. There is a list so long that it can't be totaled of the wealthy and influential t men and women who have had the stage fever, who have bought plays, hired .talent, secured theaters, and all to no purpose. They did not start with that something that lacks de scription, that something that marks for the actor or actress without ef fort. That same indescribable quality has made Hazel Lake a .favorite in .several short months. Made her a fa vorite over many who have worked and struggled for years to see their names in print at the head of a story. I Just what this quality should be called me nest 01 critics nave tailed to agree. Last night at the Savoy this erstwhile chorus girl divided honors with a show that was so far ahead of anything that has been offered by the Jacobs com pany in their six months' stav that it suffers by tiny comparison. It is a I real tablioid comic opera. Not a ! framework on which is hung many j times too lightly, interpolated numbers. ' Rut it is a comic opera with a book ! and score to match, and the company, despite the fact that they have not, as an organization, been called .upon to sing the like, acquitted themselves with credit, and incidentally gave a sparkling performance of the cleanest cut show in the history of tabloid in Phoenix. When it is taken into con sideration that Hazel Lake was asked to shy her caster into the arena in competition with this exceptional bill, it is much to her credit that she not only held her own. but made the big gest kind of a hit. The fact of the matter is, "Two Thieves" is some show, and it should make all other week-end offerings of the Jacobs entertainment take notice in matters of attendance, If it's real comic opera, and real com edy, and good catchy music, the pa trons of the abbreviated shows want. ,$ "TEy fft.

Phone 1709 Butterfield visited twelve countries and found the land well used in all of them. Roads were narrow and the land was tilled right out to the edge. This makes much hand work, but the return is rich enough to war rant it. They raise thirty bushels of wheat to the acre where the American does well if he averages 15, and they only average twenty inches ol rainfall there. Germany is smaller than Texas, has 6".000,ooo people and raises !)." per cent of the food stuff consumed there. The greatest danger to American farming is the transient tenant. He skins the land and moves on. Now, in Switzerland, DO per cent of the farms are owned by the cultivator, in Germany Sj per cent, in Helginnj nil per cent, ami these proportions are constantly growing. The teachings of science are being applied, not because it is imperative. Competition in North and South America force the adoption of the theorist's ideas. Methods of extending credits to the farmer tire three in number. Hy the land bank. This loans money on long term pledges, issuing gilt edged bonds on the security of the land. Credit Society. These arrange short term loans, mostly on personal security. Selling organizations. Futures in crop production are often the basis for loans. This system is similar to the one in vosue in America, where the credit is extended on the security of the crop. Selling organizations are now stand ardizing production till over Europe. One instance is in cured meats. The producers band themselves together and agree upon a certnin standard. There is no inspection, but plenty of instruction, and if a farmer falls down, he is dropped from the association. This system is likened to the cot ton growers' method in the Salt River valley. He advised three things: An association department for farm loans, equipping a farm bank if neces sary, based on the fifty million dol lars' worth of landed assets in the valley. Farm instruction by experts. Selling organizations to handle the output of every foot of land. o Wenden Ernest Graham and Miss Lela Holt were married Wednesday evening, April 1 at the Hotel Wenden, Rev.

Recorder Sweeney, who is the father of the effort, has, it is said, gone one bet ter than any of his previous efforts in the way of shrine literature; and the coming of the book will be awaited by those who follow things in the realms of the fez-adorned ranks. The advance literature is soon to ap pear for the shrine show, which is to be a feature of the later week in May. Already the line for parts is being com pleted in the offices of the order and feature the show will shortly be forth coming. In addition to a regular shrine circus, the amusement committee has a sur prise in store that they think will show heels to anything that has ever been pulled in the way of outdoor amusement in local lodge circles.

A sou venir of the oceasion is also in course of preparation and the prospectus will be completed this week and ex hibited to the public.

Young- Re sponds to Toast With impressive ritualistic cere monies, Scottish Rite Masons of Phoenix, together with a delegation from Mesa, last evening in Masonic Hall observed the annual lestival of "Extinguishing the Lights." 'This is is a religious holiday observed by Scottish Rites Masons throughout the world on Maunday Thursday, the Thursday before each Easter Sunday. The exorcises are prescribed in the ritual and form some of the most beautiful work in Masonry. There were in attendance tit the ceremony last evening, upwards of seventy-five members of that branch of masonry. Following the ritualistic work, a banquet was served at which those attending the lodge session and their families were seated. The banquet proved a most enjoy able affair, Francis A. Shaw presid ing as toastmaster. There were sev eral responses, the principal one be ing that to the toast, "The President of the Fnited States." To this toast response was made by Mayor George I'. Young, himself a Scottish Rites Mason. Mayor Young said: "Government is a subject no man understands, and of which but few men have even a faint conception. "The reason is the most discern ing become confused by the non essentials and customs always ad vanced by the majority, with the re sult that what we all know as gov ernment, is but tin aggregation of experiments. "Government today is top-heavy, end must fall by reason of its pon derousness. In this it obeys the nat ural law, for by its ruins men will learn and a better structure will arise. Government is something which can be perfected only as man grows from within. It is a science the one science: a religion the one reli gion. With government perfected, the church, as an organization, ceas es; the secret society writes "finis" at the end of its hist minutes; the court rings down the entrance cur tain; the lawyer turns his hands to more worthy things and all men per ceive just what they tire and for what they were intended: the great mystery of life stands fully revealed. That will be the millenium, and fool ish is the man of the present who loses sleep in worry as to just when that lime will be. In other words, it is over that subject that the false theologian and orator delight to rant and mvstify their audiences. "The best informed man on the subject of government should always be that man who represents the head of every nation, but unfortunately for the best progress of man, he sel dom is. In our case this man should be the president, but except in two instances, he has not been. While great, as men arc measured, yet the analyst obsrves that by lack of those experiences which alone devel op the true executive, this great man stands confused, because of the great pressure of non-essential sub jects, advocated by men of less abili ty who now, as always, surround the great in station. "All honor to our present president, for the recognition he has shown for the Divine inherent in man, and yet unrecognized by most men. "It is the duty of every man in tiiis great order, and the duty of every man, of every church and of every organization of men in this j great nation, to assist our president j by his highest and holiest efforts, his ! best sut;gestions and his most fervent ) prayers to help destroy those tcrri- hie forces which surround him, thus I enabling him to give his mind time j on those subjects which mean a bet I ter and more permanent welfare to i every citizen of this great republic."

After a critical inspection of tho exhibit, the boy replied: "I think the kangaroo and the ele phant should change tails." Younsrstown Telegram. 1 Hot Cross Buns Piping Hot Today!
