with q wishbone, a bit of string, a
little stick and a tiny bit of cobbler's
wax.
Tie the string round double across

the cobbler's wax on the end where
you see the black mark in the pic

the two pieces of string, and twist
the string round and round, away

BONDS TURNED DOWN.

The bonds of the Tempe Union high
school district in the sum of $4,000,
which were sold to the Tempe Nation
al bank and the Valley Bank of Phoe-
nix, were yesterday submitted to Judge
Ainsworth, counsel for the Valley
bank and were adversely reported up
on by him. Judge Ainsworth was seen
last night and. asked to state fhe ma
ture of the irregularity. He said that
the law requires that preceding an
election for voting bonds notice must
be posted in three public places in the
district for at least twenty days and
that if there is a paper published in
the county the notice must be
published at least once a week for
three weeks. The posted notices the
judge found We're regular but the
newspaper publication he says was
not regular in that three weeks had
not transpired between the first and
the last publication. though it had ap-
peared in three issues of the Tempe
News with in three weeks. The first
publication was on May and the
election was held on May %, lacking
two days of three weeks after the first
publication. Mr.. AinswOrth says he
could not recommend the bonds TO
anybody for there would be difficulty
in selling them and even if sold a
question as. to their validity might
arise later. The only remedy he can
recommend islo hold the election over,
after making the legal publication.

SALE OF PROPERTY
AT A GOOD PROFIT
A Place Changes Hands Four Times in
Seven Years and Each Time at an
Advance in Price.

Real Estate Agent r. A. Windes re-
ports the sale of the L. A Campbell
fourteen acre tract two miles west of
town to F.. NJ. ludlow of Hillside. Mr..
ludlow takes possession the first of
August. This ground is particularly
adapted to the growing of small gar
den truck and is rated as a first-class
place forN it's size. The selling price
was at the rate Of s115 per acre.
This little place is a splendid exam
pie of the rapid rate at which Tempe
real estate has been advancing in re-
cent years. Within seven years this
tract OF land has been sold four times
each time too, by the same agent, and
each time at a substantial increase in
value. The last owner cleaned up a
neat little sum on it in a comparative
ly short time. The Indications are that
if ii should be sold again in the course
of another year or two, the selling
price will be still higher. There is no
use denying the fact: Tempe real es-
tate is a good thing to have and no
safer investment can be found in Arr

AL MILLER TO BUILD
AN APARTMENT HOUSE
Ground Broken Yesterday and the
Work Will Be Rushed.

Ground was broken yesterday on
the Al Miller property in the rear of
the National bank for an apartment
house that will be built just as soon
as possible 1t is Mr.. MiIler's aim to
have it completed by the middle of
|September or sooner if the necessary
help can be secured. At any rate. he
is anxious to finish it early in the fall
in time to help in supplying the big
demand for rooms and houses here
about that season Of the year.
The building will extend from the
alley in the middle of the block, clear
to the next street west. The building
twin be 150x30 feet and when finished
will have accommodations for six
families. 1t will be built of abode with
a cement plaster finish, so much in
vogue in southern California. The
front finish of the building will be on
the mission style and will on the
whole make a very attractive building
The reason Mr.. Miller gives for using
adobe is the scarcity of brick II is
claimed. too. that the adobe building
finished with the cement plaster, is
almost as durable and equally as pleas
ing to the eye.
A house OF this kind is much need
ed in Tempe and this one viii fill a
long felt want Houses have been
scarce here every fall for years past
and the demand increases each year.

FORMER FOOTBALL PLAYER
WEEDS MADISON GIRL ON
THE QUIET.

Rockford, Ill, Oct 18-A romance
that had its inception during the days
when the principles were students at
the University, of Wisconsin was cul-
minated here yesterday afternoon in
the marriage of Albion G. Findlay,
star football player on the Cardinal
teams of 'O2-3-4-5 and Miss Lucia
Hamacher, a Madison girl Of more
than passing beauty. The young
people came to Rockford during the
early afternoon and after securing the
permit were married by Justice of the
Peace James G. Manlove The match
is understood to have been opposed
by the parents of the bride who de-
sired that she be married in her faith
and the civil marriage of today is
likely to be followed by a church
ceremony later. The wedding in
Rockford had all the appearances Of
an elopement. Findlay played end on
the Wisconsin teams of '02'04, tackle
in '03 and halfback in 1905. He is a
native of Plainfield and before enter
ing college captained the East Aurora
high school eleven. Last year he
was professor in the University of
Montana at Butte and coach Of the
football squad.
