 A full term tuition. choice of any course, at Arizona School of Music, an institution which offers superior ad vantages for the study of music in all it's branches, with a corps of instruct DTS as competent in their special work as may be found in any of the noted schools of this kind in the large cities of the east. Many boy and girl who has the natural gift of music or wonderful voice awaiting development is compelled to let these talents so un- noticed, whereas with a little proper training they might have become ac- cOmplished to a marked degree. In this school special care is given to each pupil and every effort and influ- ence eXerted to bring out all there is in them. This is a course of training which many worthy boys and girls are seeking, and you can help these con- testants to help themselves by encour- aging them with your support in their effort to win one of these educational scholarships.

NEW Y0RK'S MONSTER
 MOTOR GAR BILL
City Now Owns 100 Automobiles and Repair Expenses Each Year Exceed Original Cost of Machines.

New York, Oct 3.-(Special cores
 pondence of The Republican).- is probable that an office unique in the history of American cities will soon be created here-nothing less indeed than that of superintendent of Municipal automobiles. The city government has outstripped all competitors in its use of the auto until today it is the posses sor of an even hundred self propelled vehicles ito expedite the administra- tion of municipal matters" The num- Der becomes doubly remarkable because of the fact that the city which now is the largest municipal owner of autos in the country had none at all five years ago. While Father KnickerbOc- ker has thus shown his progressiveness the suspicion has arisen that the all prevailing graft is not entirely absent in this matter. The hundred machines are carried on the city's books at a cost valuation of $26O, ,030.3S, the cars ranging in price from $500 in the case of the smallest to the rather surprising maximum of $65OO for the largest. It is not, however, the initial cost which is creating the trouble, but the bills for repairs and depreciation" The city's garage bill now aggregates $3O0,-
 900 a year which means that more money is charged annually to the re- pairs of each machine than it's original cost. In addition to this the yearly depreciation is estimated at fifty per cent. Altogether Father Knlcker- booker is finding his autos a very ex-
 pensive luxury and since it is believed that much of the expense is pure graft New York may shortly have a super intendent of it's automobiles. ,UH-
 doubtedly the office would prove un- popular as one of the first duties of its incumbent would be to stop the use

Wednesday was another great day r at The Republicans contest headquart- oveCs. All the contestants are right af- ger the votee. The five top liners all moved up, but held their relative places. Annette Earle made the best showing for the day, scoring over a thousand points. Walter George is a little worker, and added materially to his score. Paul Corbell, at Tempe, is displaying mettle that will win. Mil dred Manley, the sweet little Tempe contestant is working hard and is lin ing out a good support. Oliver King has not had very good luck, but is about the most persistent worker that ever attempted a contest. He Is a comparative stranger, bet that does not bother him. for he expects to count up votes with the best of them before the contest closes. COncha Soto, is anOth- CT enthusiastic worker, but has been handicapped by the illness of her mother the past few days.
 Beside the renewals yesterday, the contestants secured eighteen new sub scriptions.
 Most of the contestants are down. right hustlers and are going after bus mess in a thorough manner. They are making a clean sweep as they gOT nothing escapes. New subscriptions are pouring in rapidly and friends who are already taking the paper are lend inS their aid in getting others to make advance payments on subscriptions to credit some contestant. Go after the new ones, boys and girls, nothing runs up the score quite so fast as new sub scriptions Strangers are arriving daily in the city, and they will want the real live uptodate newspaper de- livered to them every day in the month
 TEMPE AND MESA.
 The southside contestants are not turning in many points yet, but there is no doubt but that they are hard at work, and with the assistance of their friends will by Saturday night send their score leaping toward the top.
 Those not near the top yet must re- member that regular work done every evening will count for much, and with a steadily increasing score the last few weeks of the contest may bring them strong into the list of winners of first prizes.

One more mystery has just been added to the thousands for which New York is responsible in the death of the Colonel" an aged southerner who for years has been a well known though unknown figure on the Bowery. In the famous bread lines in that district where the poor are furnished bread and coffee the colonel" for more than three decades has been noted for his pathetic sacrifices in assisting the needy. Tn all his long and charitable career. however. his identity has never been revealed. Not even a guess has ever ben made as to who he was. He appeared about thirty years ago-not long after the close of the war-and while always needy immediately achieved attention on the east side because of the sacrifices which he made. When the famous Fleischman's bread line started he was one of its first patrons. But while he was al- ways the first at the window to re- ceive his piece of bread and mug of coffee it was early noted that he all ways gave away the food which he re- ceived, a practice which he continued to his death. Moreover however needy his condition, this mysterious colonel had always a few nickels and dimes to distribute among his equally needy companions. His gifts were generally accompanied by helping ad- generally accompanied by helpful ad- vice and the moment before his death he was engaged in explaining to other members of the bread line how to ob- tain shoes for the cold weather It was while waiting in the bread line thta he dropped dead Nothing could be found to throw any light on his identity and there seems to be no so- lution of the famous mystery His brother in need whom he has so af- ten aided are attempting to collect a fund for a fitting burial.

With the office boy problem in creasing in seriousness every year. and now a close second to the servant problem, New York is about to have a longfelt need supplied in the shape of a unique school-nothing less in deed than a training school for office boys. The novel undertaking while it is a work of the Children's Aid Society is not entirely philanthropic. since the walls which business men have let loose of late over their in ability to obtain office boys with the intelligence of even a fencepost. has awakened a sleeping genius to the possibilities of teaching the young idea how to act as office boy. In the new school which is believed to be the first of its kind in the country. future presidents will be taken from the streets and alleys and in sturucted in such complicated matters as the rudiments of reading, writing and arithmetic. They will also be set on the path toward commercial sue cess by instruction in the systems of licking stamps, filing and copying let ters and looking up trains on time tables. The first thing which young ster will be taught, however. is to do just what he is told to do. There will also be classes in the geography of New York City and it's transportation facilities, telephoning and the keeping of simple accounts. The course will be conducted at night and will last twenty-One weeks.

A Meditation.

"Ye shall receive power after that
the Holy Ghost is come unto you"
There can be no acceptable service
without this endowment. Even
Jesus must first be baptized with the
Holy Ghost before He could enter
upon His great mission.
The apostles, who had been in
Christ's school for three years, could
do nothing until they were endowed
with power from on high.
Mr.. Moody used to say that he
would rather break stones on a turn
pike than attempt to preach without
the indwelling and power of the
Holy Spirit. The great reason why
some of our young peoples meetings
are such a drag is because its mem-
bers do not seek power from above.
To obtain this power we must
earnestly seek for it in prayer. III
ye being evil know how to give good
gifts unto your children, how much
more shall your heavenly Father give
the Holy Spirit to them that ask
Him"
To obtain more power, we must
use the power already bestowed.
go in this thy might" the angel
said to Gideon-the might of the
promised presence. "The Lord be
with thee" AS he went he realized
the presence and power of the AL
mighty.
We must use this power in wit

cation Is, whether he is college bred
or has no education at all, but this
thing am sure OF. and that is, with
out prayer in your heart you cannot
make life worth what God is expecting
OF It. Prayer is our wanting to get
near to God. wanting to tell God OF
our difficulties, our troubles, our per-
plexities, our successes. our ideas, our
wanting to ask for His strength and
guidance We have to have this an

chor in God to give us courage to go

Let us cast out our four anchors:
our anchor of faith in God and our
fellow men; our anchor of hope in

prayer to God; and in so doing may
the blessing of God rest with you in
all your labors.

Borax in the Dairy.

A few years ago most anything
went for milk or cream or butter
so long as It came from a COW.
Now things are changed.
The public realizes. the dairyman
realizes and the farmer realizes that
there is just as much difference be-
tween milk from pure utensils and
milk from stale" utensils, as there
is between milk and chalk and water.
The problem of keeping sweet all
the utensils used in connection with
milk and cream selling aud butter
making has been a serious one with
tho farmer.
He has come to realize fully that
the slightest taint or hint OF stale
ness left in can. tin or churn may
ruin whole output; that the taint
which is left Is in the form of bac-
terra which grow and multiply in milk
or butter, producing disastrous re-
suits.
The farmer has learned that hot
water won't rinse away the greasy
residue in dairy utensils.
lie has learned that soap leaves a
residue of its own which is, II any
thing, worse than the milk or cream
residue, and 1t is little wonder that
there has been constant clamor
for a dairy cleanser and sweetener
that will meet modern requirements.
A few OF the largest creamery es-
tiblishments called experts into CON
snltation on this problem. and these
scientific aids decided unanimously
upon a product OF nature which ex-
actly fills the bill--borax.
Scientists have long known borax
as u cleanser, sweetener and an
antiseptic destroyer OF bacteria and
germ growths, that destroys all that
is harmful and promotes and pre-
serves freshness, sweetness and pur-
ity; and relieves the dairyman gnd
dairy housewife OF drudgery and OF
needless work and worry.
It's purity. effectiveness. cheapness
and value should give It first place
In the necessities OF avery dairy.

Why We Go To Church. (Luke "

We cannot know God without recelv

the other hand. we cannot receive
the gospel word without getting ac
quainted with God.
II is bad when we forget how much
these two ideas are dependent on one
another In some places the tendency
Is to magnify one, while elsewhere
the other is exalted.
The singing, praying, Scripture
reading, and repetition OF ritual are
most nearly connected with the idea
Of communion with God the sermon

from God.
II is n mistake and a loss to mako
