of hostile savages and the hardships of pioneer life in the period while they were ashore. No doubt these conditions contributed to the devel- opment of the familiar traits of the
 Yankee character. Trading around
 the world, matching his wits against the trickest dealers in all the ports of all the seven seas made him a shrewd bargainer, while the severe
 conditions surrounding his life ashore
 forced him to be industrious, frugal
 and persevering 1t was a hard
 schooling but a good one for a people
 whose task was to be the turning of a wilderness into an industrial en- pire.
 As long as Americans continued to share in the ocean trade the Cape Cod Yankees continued unchanged. but now the glory of our vanished merchant marine with it's swift clip per ships manned by Yankee crews and with Yankee captains in com mand, that could show a clean pair of heels to anything carrying can vas, is only a memory. Even the fishing industry has practically dis appeared from the Cape, the cradle of Thanksgiving. The sons and daughters of the old captains are Hooking to the cities or to western states and their places are being taken by foreigners, mostly Por- tuguese from the Azores. In another generation the Yankee as he existed on Cape Cod for nearly three centu- ries after the settlement of New Eng land will live only in the pages of books like "Cap'n. Whittaker's Place" and others by Joe Lincoln. who has been called the novelist of Yankee doom, and in the observance of Thanksgiving. Being himself Yan- kee and a Colder into the bargain. the descendant of a long line of sea captains and a resident of the Cape during a good part of the year. Mir Lincoln is able to portray the old time Yankee afloat and ashore with all his shrewdness, his peculiarities of speech and manner, and his dry hu- mor, a record that, aside from it's entertaining features, will be of great value in enabling future generations to understand one. of the most impOr- tant elements in the evolution of that product of many divergent types the coming American.

DON'T FORGET BARBECUE
 AT GLENDALE TODAY
IF IT RAINS IT WILL BE HELD IN
 SUGAR FACTORY.
Enough Meat Is Now Being Roasted To Feed 1000 People-It Is Expected That Nearly That Many Will Be Present.

Rain may come down in big chunks today and make a frog pond of the Salt River valley but it will not deter several thousand people from taking part in the, big barbecue at Glendale in honor of the opening of the sugar beet factory. Provisions have been made to house the crowd in case it should rain and the barbecue will be held in the sugar factory instead of the open The sugar factory is big enough to hold almost everybody in Phoenix and the surrounding country.
 The trains will unload their passen- gers right at the factory so no one will get wet. These preparations to keep the crowd dry were made in face of the weather prediction that Saturday will be fair and colder. Rain was pre- dicted for last night but the weather man thinks the sun will be on the job at the usual place and time today. All Glendale is busy making prepa- rations to receive and feed the guests that will arrive by train, automobile and carriage. Fires were kept burning all last night to cook the meats and enough beef was on the fire to feed 1000 people. By the time the first of the crowd arrives the meat will be done to delicious brown. The meats were selected from the Hackett mar ket and taken out to Glendale in wagon load.
 Either of two trains can be taken. The regular 8 o'clock train will be held till the train from Mesa and Tempe arrives. Then at 12:30 another train will leave which will get to Glendale in time for the barbecue.

LYDIA E. PINKHAM

Nature and woman's work con- bined have produced the grandest remedy for woman's ills that the world has ever known.
 In the good old-fashioned days of our grandmothers they relied upon the roots and herbs of the field to cure disease and mitigate suffering.
 The Indians on our Western Plains to-day can produce roots and herbs for every ailment, and cure diseases that baffle the most skilled physicians who have spent years in the study of drugs.
 From the roots and herbs of the field Lydia E. Pinkham more than thirty years ago gave to the women of the world a remedy for their pe- culiar ills, more potent and effica eious than any combination ofdrugs.
 Lydia k. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is now recognized as the standard remedy for woman's ills.
 Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. St., Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
 Complete restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffering women l am willing to make my troubles public.
 "For twelve years 1 had been suffer ing with the worst forms of female ills. During that time I had eleven different physicians without help. No tongue can tell what I suffered, and at times l could hardly walk. About two years ago 1 wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice I followed it, and can truly say that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re- stored health and strength. It is worth mountains of gold. to suffering women"
 What Lydia F.. Pinkham's Vege- table Compound did for Mrs. Muff, it will do for other suffering women

NOVEL USE FOR WOODEN Eoos.


Made to Darn Stockings On, They
Finally Served as Knobs for Hatpins.
One of the innumerable things that
the manufacturers of turned wood
goods make is the darning egg, for
use as an aid in darning stockings.
These eggs are commonly provided
each with a handle of the same kind
of wood, which screws into one end.
A while ago there was received at the
New York Office of turned goods
manufacturing concern an order for
a couple Of cases, some thousands in
number, Of darning eggs to be sup
piled without handles and of a size
somewhat smaller than the standard;
and then for some reason this special
lot of eggs was Left on the manufac-
turer's hands. But they were not
wasted.
In the course of time there came in
hat pin manufacturer who wanted
to leave an order for. a few thousand
hatpin knobs, to be made in specified
shape and dimensions. Besides MAX
lnS Ao6uioAiy d SI0aI YdIleCy OIL luluSS
The turned goodsmakers also turn
wood in any shape that may be re-.
quired to order.
And then the salesman recalled
that little lot of understood handleless
darning eggs, which proved to be ex-
actly what the hatpin man wanted,
and he took the lot. And so finally
::ey came to be made up, not as darn
ing eggs, with fancy handles, but as
the knobs of hatpins.

" "ANTI-BAcHELoR PAPER NOW.

"Panna" to Combat in Prague the
Mans Emancipation Sheet.
Mladenec (the bachelor), the Prague
newspaper which has devoted itself
to the emancipation of man from the
.thrall of women, has chosen it's thir-
teenth number to celebrate it's enor-
nous success. Not only has it awak-
ened the Czech population of Europe,
as it alleges, to new sense of man
hood, but in addition it has stirred
up Poland, Hungary aid Germany
with signs of revolt against feminin-
ism.
1t is in German speaking countries
that it seems to have caused the
greatest awakening It says that af-
ter the Frankfurter Zeitung directed
attention to it's program, papers all
over Germany printed long articles,
many of them indorsing, at least in
ferentially, the crusade.
The publication Office in Prague has
been stormed with letters demanding
German edition of the Bachelor.
Hundre eds of letters have been writ
ten to the editor citing instances Of
feminine tyranny and urging that the
fight for masculine authority be made
red hot
German mems organizations, it is
stated, have adopted resolutions in.
dorsing the paper and it's aims, and
several Mladenec clubs have been
formed in the larger cities. Orders
for copies have been received frfom
big hotels in all parts of Europe where
people who read the Slavic languages
habitually visit
The greatest triumph of all, in the
estimation of Mladenec's editor. is the
announcement of the appearance in
Prague at an early date Of a rival
.. publication to combat the male eman-
cipation movement. This is to be
called Parma (the. Spinster), and it
is to be devoted to exposing the
| wickedness and injustice Of men, az
serting the rights of women and prov.
ling that the world will be far better
! when the fair sex gains ascendance.

CHAMPAGNE GIRLS"
The Attraction at the Star Next
Week.

Lovers of high-class extravaganza
will be made merry at the Star thea
ter next week What is claimed as
the most novel attraction of it's kind
is to be presented there under the
popular title. of effervescing fun,
The Champagne Girls This show,
which has proven to be one of de-
cided merit, is in two acts and an
olio, and is largely composed of the
feminine gender. These are assisted
by several more than ordinary come
dians, right up to the minute with
originality stamp in every move.
This vehicle of fun gives both the
boys and girls plenty of opportunity
for their "Junketings," and during
the progress of the piece the fun is
fast and furious. Slyph-like maidens
are in the forward rank with songs,
dances, groupings and poses. All
the costumes are works of art, and
are designed to display the many and
varied charms of the wearers. "The
Champagne Girls" will surely cap
ture the town for pretty faces, e1e-
CANT forms and stylish gowns are
things that will always attract good
houses, especially in conjunction
with such good show.
AS special feature the manage
ment announces a basket ball con-
test between lady members, who
challenge any local man team A So
hat will also. be given away at every
