 Why is real estate in Phoenix and Salt River valley a good investment?
 First-Because Phoenix is the me tropolis of Arizona, with good schools, churches. street cars, telephones, beau tiful avenues and shady streets; a city of homes, where property is constantly increasing in value and the city is just entering an era of great prosperity.
 Second-Because by the building of the Roosevelt dam the Salt River val ley is assured of an ample supply of water for irrigation for all time.
 Third-Because the climate is ideal and healthful and invigorating
 Fourth-Because you can engage profitably in diversified farming. grow ing wheat, barley, alfalfa, beets, mel ons. fruits, vegetables; can raise stock. on any one crop.
 Fifth-Because you have a home and export market for all you raise.
 SiXth-Because Salt River valley products, whether oranges. melons. stock, chickens, etc, command the highest market prices.
 Seventh-Because a ten-acre farm will support a family.
 Eighth-Because the land is the best on earth.
 Ninth-Because, though land may appear high, you can get from three to five times more from it than from the so-called cheap lands of the East
 Tenth-Last, but not least: Because here you can make d beautiful home with roses at Christmas and flowers all the year round. Here you have Gods blessed sunshine to make you happy. strong and well It is the val ley that flows with milk and honey. and should be called the Valley of Sunshine and not the Valley of the Salt"

WINNERS OF DICK
 ERDMANs' CONTEST
Three Times Ten Reasons Why the Salt River Valley Is the Proper Place to Invest.

After three days of sorting and req soning, the judges in the Dick Erd mans Reason Contest have at last picked the winners. The results will come unexpected. in that the winner of the first prize was a girl r years of age living in Oklahoma, the sue cessful second a rhymer of only 13 years and the lucky contestant in the third place another girl of just g years. All of the contestants are clear think CTS, close observers and clever juggIers of the American language. Each of the winners handled the contest in different manner, and each came to a complete climax.
 Miss Gladys Powell of Granite, Okla homa, winner of first place, took up the ten reasons, originally, analytically, aad brought out ten points that will

INCREASED Use TELEPHONES.

Another prominent representative Of
a foreign industry who came % this
country TO study the American way OF
doing things. has returned home allied
with wonder and admiration az Ameri
can methods. energy and cleverness.
/. The latest case e. that Of Mr.. Far.
randa. a director Of the telephone com.
pany OF Rome. Italy. He came here
during the latter part of last year "a
study telephone conditions In the more
important cities OF this country. The
interesting results Of his investigation
have made the easy-going Romans
well-nigh incredulOus.
Rome has about 5000 telephone
subscribers. 50 when Mr. Farranda re-
ported New York as having $4,000
subscribers. aud telephone calls aver
aging 100000 daily. these being sent
through 50 exchanges. which are Oper.
ated directly or indirectly by l2.O03
employees. IL was quite beyond the
understanding Of the Romans. Many
Of these exchanges In New York. he
finds, have more subscribers than
there are In the whole city Of Rome.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
telephone business I'm New York has
reached such enormous proportions.
Il nevertheless seems to meet with the
approval OF subscribers. These have
increased more rapidly than the popu-
lation OF the city. For example. I'm
1900 there were but $4,000 telephone
subscribers In New York. whereas the
population OF the city az that time. as
given by Mr.. Farranda. was 3.2OO. 900.
In 1905 the total number Of subscrib-
ers reached 10000. an increase over
1905 Of approximately So per cent
The population Of the city in 1905
was 1900. 1000.
Nor is this remarkable development
Of telephony confined TO New York.
Mr.. Farranda finds that telephone sub
scribers In Chicago number $4,000.
Philadelphia lO1 500 and Boston lOl.-
poo.
In an interview in a leading Italian
newspaper Mr.. Farranda stated that
many reasons could be advanced for
he high degree Of perfection reached
BY the telephone service In the United
States. among them being:
The number Of employees is not the
'Ole cause for the regularity OF sery-
&c. Il is TO discipline that the good
'esults must be attributed. and which
makes the system so perfect. Fines
ire imposed on those employees who {
freak the rules the first time. and they {
IRE dismissed from the service for
he second Offense. Notwithstanding
he discipline, telephone girls seem $
veil satisfied with their positions and .
telephone companies have less trouble .
Nth them than they do in Rome. :
The primary reason for good service {
; the installation and the type Of appa- Z
atus used. which Is manufactured BY '
he Western Electric Company. Il
; Of simple construction. easily taken
part and repaired
Mr.. Farranda caused great as6onish- I
nent by the statement that New s
FORK and Chicago. separated by }
distance Of something like 1900 kilO- |
metres, are connected by telephone.
nd that for a three-minutes' CONVEX
alton between the two cities a charge

TEETH THAT
 GET NATURAL And Look Like the Ones Na- ture Endowed That's the Only Kind to Have
WHY PUT UP WITH
 THE ABOMINABLE?
Natural Dental Methods Bring About Natural Re sults-Read Carefully.

Natural looking and natural acting teeth-thats the kind you want. There's no necessity, not even an ex- cuse for your putting up with abom- maple dental work. Everyone would like to have their own teeth, sound and beautiful, but many are heir to early dental breakdown and this is impossible so as long as there must be some kind of artificial work in the mouth why not let it be the kind that resembles beyond detection natures original endowment. The assurance Dr. Weidlich at No. 5 Citizens Bldg, offers his clients is very encouraging indeed. This able practitioner has made special study and practice of natural dentistry. Every conceivable method to place your teeth and mouth in it's original condition-just as na- ture made it-is exercised by Dr.Weid- lich who cares much more for satis- factory results along practical lines than he does for book theory or what some other doctor has done. Besides the utilizing of Porcelain in which he has been exceedingly successful Dr. Weid1ich practices every branch of modern dentistry. From very few teeth and these not sound he has been known to build entire sets of good serviceable, natural appearing teeth without the use of annoying plates or in fact anything cum bersonae, movable or even foreign in the mouth. Such oeuIdl WOTh IS d DOOn to anyone not possessed of sound teeth. Once you have been treated by Dr. Weidlich's natural methods you are immediately free to chew to your hearts content any food set before you for again you find yourself the possessor of good, sound, nut cracking teeth that meet every requirement and that you do not have to favor in the slightest when you're eating. And they look as good as they are-they have no artificial tendencies. Not a mouthful of gaudy gold crowns, but beautiful pearly porcelain crowns the color of which having been systematically treated resembles undetectably the very shade of your own teeth. These are the kind of teeth which allows every feeling of good nature or mirth within you surge to the lips parting them in a fascinating smile.

BUMPER HARVEST
 OF FOREIGN CROPS
Especial from United Press.)


 Washington, Sept. 16.-While the American farmer has harvested bum per crops this year, Europe has not been far behind. According to the European correspondent of the De- partment of Agriculture, the harvest abroad has generally surpassed expec- tations.
 Most astonishing of all was the enor- nous increase in yield of the worlds grain crops. European authorities es- timate that there will be a gain of from 1855 to 270 million bushels in the case of the worlds wheat crop and about 265 million bushels more of corn, while oats shows the enormous in crease of 857 million bushels above the figures of last years production.
 Roumania is almost the only foreign nation to report decreases from the pre-harvest estimates, attributable to severe drought. The hop crop in England will be the lowest on record, the entire crop only being saved from destruction by blight after repeated spraying.

The bills for the school board hav- ing been audited it is found that the total expense for maintaining the educational establishment for the school year 1s0s-9 amounts to $2S,- 4548 83. The appropriation for the schools made by the town was $26, 700. Thus the appropriation has been ex- ceeded by s1.754.83 This is in part accounted for by the fact that fire esca pes had to be, put upon a number Of the school buildings-a1l those of two stories. or over; and extensive re- pairs had to be male. There are some good folks who think the schools cost too much. and as one man remarked, "It is time to do away with the frills of education" What the "frills'' are is an open question. The days of reading. writing and arithmetic, as the only factors in a common school education, have passed away. The times demand something more than was given in the old common schools. It is estimated that at the next town meeting the School Board will ask for $30,000.> This increase is warranted by the growth of the school population. According to a law placed upon the statute book at the last session of the state legislature, certain sanitary se- quirementS in connection with all school houses must be complied with, and it will be the duty of the Health Officer to see that the law is enforced. It is thought by those able to judge in the matter. that this compliance will entail considerable cost. as some of the schools are not up to the mark.
