HER SHARE IN THE OWNERSHIP.
Something Proud Young Fatherseemed
in Danger of Forgetting.

He picked up the baby. he hoped
just as If picking babies up were an
eve .y-day occurrence. In point Of fact,
he remembered that an elderly lady
had told him in his youth that eats,
when lifted. like to be supported with
a hand held underneath. and he
thought that this principle would work
cut with babies. am it did. And hay
ing awakened louise, he handed her
back, triumphant. to Constance, difus-
ing an air of competency, as though be

or little. he stood back Of her.
II may be that Johns success as a
father led him to seem vainglorious

on airs about the baby. 1t was not
long after this that he lurei two old

an accident that she should have been
awake at the time when they were
there AS a matter OF fact. she usually
awoke at that hour, but the men didn't
know thls-or perhaps they wouldn't
have come. Men have a becoming shy
ness about babies and these were
bachelors.
John had arrived at that state OF ar
rogance when he actually went over
TO the crib, and asking no ones per-
mission. picked Louise up and dis
played her to the two men, who were
as embarrassed as a dog in the pres
ence OF June bug. He laid her down
again with an expert hand. and osten-
tatiously changed the subject, to show
that he was not among those fathers
who pushed their children down other
peoples threats. But his manner

THE LAST WEEK OF
 VERY SUCCESSFUL SALE
The Mill Outlet Idea Proves a Winner in Mesa.

Saturday of this week will mark the close of one of the most successful sales ever carried on by the enterpris- ing merchandising firm of Lesueur- Gibbons company, and known as the Mill Outlet sale.
 The original idea in originating the sale was to dispose of a select stock of mill ends bought in large quantities and direct from manufacturers to con sumer. The idea in so doing is to set pace in modern merchandising that the friends of the store could not help but benefit by the sale. How ever, the original idea has been some what changed or. in other words. it has been enlarged. and while the loom end sale is on in full blast, yet the low prices have permeated throughout the clothing and dry goods department, and in several instances has crept into the grocery department. A mill outlet sale which Is naturally supposed to be a dry goods sale, however, the Mesa firm carrying on the sale has made it in clude everything in their store from late spring suits just in to canned blueberries.
 Furthermore, the sale has been a success. The weather of course, has been unsettled, and as a result has kept many from town who would oth- erwise have availed themselves of the bargains. The store has been crowded throughout the week and an extra lot of clerks were required. The list out side of the regular force included the following: Mrs. L. Phelps. Miss Win nie LeBaron. Miss Mabel PomerOy. Miss Nellie Iesueur, Miss Anna Hardy. Miss Pauline Gibbons and Ray and Paul Iesueur

THE PERFECT WOMAN IS NOT 4

Artists say the ideal proprtion of weight in a woman is 26 pounds for every foot of her height. This would make a woman of feet inches weigh 136 pounds 8 ounces.
 If you weigh more than this in pro portion you are on the danger line and are likely to get too fat in a few years.

EAST LYNNE DREW
 RECORD BREAKING HOUSE
Will Be Repeated Wednesday Night of This Week.

Home talent productions as a finan cial venture have come to be better than gold strikes, as far as Mesa Is concerned. East Lynne" presented by the Home Dramatic company. Friday evening, at the Mesa opera house, drew one of the largest crowds that has ever crowded into the theater. Tine seats were all taken before the performance began, and by the time the curtain went up, standing room was being hemmed in on all sides. The manage ment has not announced the receipts, probably realizing that competition might become more sharp. However, the play is to be repeated next Wednes- day evening at the same place for the benefit of those who did not have an opportunity of witnessing the produc- tion on Friday evening. The success of the entertainment on Friday even ing has at least prolonged the home dramatic season in Mesa, for 1t Is semi i-officially announced that another production is to be put on within month by home talent.
 East Lynne is an old play. and it is full of sentiment and situations meant to bring handkerchiefs Co the eyes. It is a splendid avenue for the the actress with aspirations along emo tional lines, and in this leading role Winnie Vance did herself proud on Friday evening Mrs. Vance has come to be a favorite with Mesa audiences, and they have learned to expect moro than the mediocre. The individual act ing was all very well done, and to say that the presentation was well arrang- ed is inclusive of the entire cast.
 The specialties were timely and catchy. Little Misses Kleinman and Jennie Hilbert, in the character song, "I Don't Want to Play in Your Yard, brought down the house. Ralph A Chase. who played the part of Dill. also gave the second speciality. song, Virginia" with orchestral accompa- niment The audience clamored for more. and as an encore he sang, "Grand old Flag" Little Miss Felton sang Mandy Lane" in a fetching manner and had to respond with "Jungletown. Miss Irene Noble gave vocal selection in a highly creditable manner. R. A. Chase, between the fourth and flfth acts, came on in a mOnologue, ending the stunt with Just Barely Livin, with an encore entitled Chicken"

INTEREST IN BASEBALL
 SHOWS SIGNS OF LIFE
MANAGER OF CITY TEAM WOULD
 JOIN WITH HIGH SCHOOL.
Local Team Has Been Strengthened by
 Outside Players.

With the first ''fishin' time weather beginning to show itself, it is just as natural for the baseball microbe to be- { gin to wiggle and twist as it is for the | fish to refuse to bite. It is true that the particular Arizona climate permits the game throughout the winter sea son, but the microbe. nevertheless. does not become violent until the signs of spring are plainly in evidence. There is a note of sadness in the | thought that Mesa of late years has | lost sight of the fact that 1t is not necessary to support a good ball team. The material has been here. and is here now for the making of a good team, but some one will be required to stay up nights until the machinery is put in running order that will grind out team able to go visiting and come back home with scalps dangling from their belts
 However, the high school team, since the move to the new building, has talk en to practice work, and with the as- sistance of their new suits, have been able to show up to a good advantage on the field. While a few of the more timid players have refused to learn the slide to second, yet it is anticipat- ed that that will come in time.
 Manager Stevenson of the city team announces that baseball is to be re vived in earnest; that he has secured three good players outside of Mesa, which will strengthen the team materi- ally and insure a good game to all or dinary corners. It is his intention to match Mesa against such teams as Tucson and Prescott, and keep in as fast company as possible. He is fur ther of the opinion that Phoenix is all right as a baseball town. only that the taking of a game from a team from that place is not an honor. It Is the intention of MT. Stevenson to work with the high school team. and, if possible, secure the high school grounds for practice work. He is anxious and will ing to supply a considerable amount of the funds towards putting the grounds in first-class condition.
 Mesa ought to have winning ball team. It is a good advertisement
