NEW C0MtRS ENJOY
 A BIRTHDAY PARTY
Reunion of Old Friends in New Land Under Pleasing Conditions.

Mrs. O. l.. Mowen entertained some of h,r friends and old neighbors of Lima, Ohio in honor of her 35th birth day anniversary They were Mrs. J. w. Hollands and son. Walter and Miss Lela. Clara, Esther and Master Rob ert Kemmer These old neighbors of over fifteen years were indeed glad to find Mrs. Mowen so nicely situated in her beautiful new home at 1919 w. Adams street.
 One gear ago not one of them had the faintest idea he would enjoy such a perfect day with the host among the grand and beautiful old rockies sur rounded by roses and sunshine enough to gladden. all hearts. To say all did to the fullest extent enjoy the day and about 50 fine selections on the phonograph. would be putting it mild ly and not by any means the least en- joyed was the elaborate birthday din- ner which was perfect in every re- spect. We would say to our old friends if they care to appreciate their old neighbors. just bring them to Phoenix and get real we'll acquainted. All the good things Phoenix can boast of were elaborately prepared and tastefully arranged. for this F o'clock dinner.
 The center piece was present of 35 large yellow roses perfectly gor- gcous in beauty. A large cake helped to grace this table, marked 72-07, too pretty to cat, and too good to just look at. A large seed pudding simi- larly marked was fully appreciated. I will not try to tell of all the good things that weighted that lovely table down. I couldn't. If you are curious, come to Phoenix in 1908 and help Mrs. Mowen celebrate the 27th day of Oct. She surely knows how to help one forget all else except to be thankful they are alive to enjoy a day in her sweet, sunny presence. Some time was snent in taking pictures of this lovely home and friends. At late hour these old time friends separated wishing they could enjoy many. many such perfect days and wishing the host, Mrs. Mowen will ever stay as now, in looks a mere rose, but herself, and still able to enjoy many happy re- turns of the day surrounded by friends and roses and may her life be one of perfect sunshine as today.

gatherings of the order and is looked forward to each year with much pleas ure. Last ear the knights were roy ally treated by the Catholic people, who are this year making arrange ments to furnish entertainment for visiting Catholics during fair week.
 On the 18th the candidates will be given the first and second degree. On Sunday. the 17th, high mass will be held at st. Mary's church at 10:15 in the morning. In the afternoon the Knights of Columbus will attend the ball game in a body and in the evening the third degree will be conferred. From word received over the territory this year will be the biggest meeting that has been held. The visiting mem- bers of the various councils will be treated to banquet and otherwise royalty entertained.
 The local council has been organized but q short time, yet is growing and flOurishing organization. It was named after the first minister who preached the gospel in Arizona, Mar cos de Niza, who came over from Spain $50 years ago to work among the Spanish and convert the Indians who were supposed to inhabit the fab ulously rich Seven Cities of Cibola.

CRESCEUS COMING
 WITH DAN PATCH
The Fastest Trottins as We'll as the Fastest Pacing Stallion in the World, Will be Seen at The Arizona Far.

Another pleasant surprise for the visitors to the fair was announced yesterday when it was made pubhc that Cresceus, the fastest travellnS trottinC stallion in the world, Is travelling companion of Dan Patch' the fastest pacer in the world. and will shake his heels a little during the fair. NJ w. Savage, the owner or Cresceus, and the two famous horses have been touring the country togeth- CT. If cost but little or nothing more to bring Cresceus along with Dan Patch. than it would to have shipped him home direct at the close of the season, so the famous trotter was brought along on the western tour.
 Cresceus holds the worlds record for a trotting stallion, his best time In a race being 2:021-4. Lou Dillon has a little better showing against time,

On a side table a large bouquet of American beauties was placed by friend and as these old time friends separated a neat little surprise was arranged. Mrs. Mowen picking up some very neat packages from a stand, was in the act of rushing after her friends, thinking they had forgotten them, when she found all were ad- dressed to her. On opening them she found in each very pretty and use- ful gift. and the message each con- tained surely reached the very depths of that little sunny heart. and makes one realize how nice it is to be loved ey our neighbors and friends The Hollands and Kemmers are in Phoenix for at least 5 months. The Mowens will make this their home. they hope for some -'ears. All are much in love with the sunny west. A FRIEND.

and Is the only trotter that has cov- cred a mile at a swifter gait than Cresceus. Cresceus does not come for the purpose of beating his record, or any other time record, unless it should just happen that way. He is not in his best time-eliminating condition just now, hence he will not be asked to accomplish what would probably Ee impossible. Nevertheless, he will be logged around the track for exhi- bition purposes and it is expected he will amble fast enough to keep awake
 With Dan Patch and Cresccus. the two fastest stallions in the world and a hundred other horses, any one of which has earned distinction on the track. and still others which WI make a try for it this year, the fair management is offering lovers of horse racing the sort of sport it has hereto fore been necessary to go at least half way across the continent to see.

A mere glance at the heavens in the carly evening will show the observer that the sky is more brilliant with stars than it has been for many months. The beautiful milky way is still with us. and the bright winter groups. Taurus. Orion and Gemini. are so high up in the East that already that part of the sky pre- sents marked contrast to the Southern ap,i Western portions, where the last of the faint summer cancellations sdll finger.
 The Royal Star, Fomalhaut to the Pcrsians one of the four guardians of Heaven. shines out in the South; Altair, iil-omeEed in astrology and supposed to pcrtend danger from reptiles, is in the West. while nearby is the cIEious little group of the Dolphin, popularly known rs Jobs Coffin, which was believed to have special influence over the births ard character of human beings. Above the Dolphin is the beautiful Northern cross which is now in an almost upright position. The star of this constellation Ht ii.

Easily Prepared at Home and Harm
less to Use.

This Is known as "Blood- Cleaning
Time" especially among the older
folks, who always take something dur
ing this month to clean the blood Of
impurities and build 1t up.
The following is the recipe as given
by a well-known authority, and any
one can prepare it at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion one-half
ounce, Compound Kargon one ounce,
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla three
ounces.
Get these simple ingredients from
any good pharmacy and mix by shak-
ing well in a bottle. The dose is one
teaspoonful after meals and at bed
time,
Everybody should take something to
help the blood, which, becomes impov,
erished and almost sour after the win
ter season, especially those who are
subject to Rheumatism, Catarrh, Kid
ney and Bladder trouble.
1t is said that one weeks use of this
mixture will clear the skin OF sores,
pimrles or boils.
This is sound, healthy advice, which
will be appreciated by many readers.
