columns of The Republican and all
those who are looking for something
for nothing, except little bit of men
tai calculation, will do well to fill out
one of the blanks and mail, or take it
ut the Redewill store. The working
OF the puzzle is an interesting occu-
patton. even if one does not win. and
If he does, well he will be mighty well
paid for his trouble.
THE WE'LL REclTAl-Due to the
shortcomings of The Republicans in
formant, the report of the We'll recital
in yesterday mornings issue was lack
ing in many important features. Moth
ing that was said should have been
left unsaid, for every participant in the
program is entitled to all possible cred
it for his or her part, for there was
not a tame or an uninteresting number
given, and every singer would have
appeared favorably in any company.
Special mention, however, should also
have been given to several in addition
TO what was printed, the story to that
extent being incomplete. Among them
first mention should be given TO Mrs.
Walter Leecraft, for the reason that
it was her first appearance before a.
Phoenix audience, though her former
musical successes, both as a singer and
director elsewhere have been notable.
The rendition of ITO Love. to Suffer"
and The Silver Ring" in her rich
mezzo- soprano voice, was one of the
impressive events of the evening. Miss
Monihan, the one member who APP
peared for three selections, in each of
them added to her former prestige as
a singer of rare talent. Others of the
number who should have had particu-
lar mention are Reginald Stroud, whose
sweet tenor voice is almost incompara-
BILE; l.. n. Rickerson, also a beautiful
tenor singer, and DR.. Lowe, of whose
basso- profundo too much cannot be
said.

ALIVE EMPLOYMENT AGENCY

The Park Company Live Wire En-
plOyment Agency is the name of a new
enterprise to be started in this city May
l. While there have been numerous
offices in this city where employment
has been advertised and help secured
for those desiring it, yet there has new
er been a firm which conducted an
employment agency In a thorough
manner and as an exclusive business.
The field offered in this section for a
first-class live employment agency is
a good one, and such a business, well
conducted and advertised, will I'M
doubtedly be a profitable venture and
will fill a need which the community
has often felt in the past. The office
will be at 81 West Adams street, and
viii be in charge of Mrs. B. c. Park.
Mr.. Park will continue on the road for
the international Correspondence
School, but will have the employment
agency business under his supervision
and will devote a part of his time to
the conduct of the office in this CITY
Mrs. Park will also be the local repre-
sentative of the International Core
spondence School. Mr.. Park has been
a resident of this city for about three
years, having for time been employed
at the New York Store. He has had
considerable experience in the employ
ment business, having been in charge
Of offices in San Francisco and other
large cities. The new company will
open large and commodious offices and
will place all kinds of reliable help.

PHOENIX NEARLY "DRY"-While

Phoenix hasn't exactly gone dry" the
saloons will be closed again today for
the third time this week. The town
will be very dry from the hours of s
am. till 5 pm. while the polls are open
for the bond election. By calling a few
more elections one for each day of the
week the town could be made wholly
dry in the day time. fact which the
prohibitionists do not seem to be quite
alive to.

ACROSS Africa IN AUTO.
Lieut.. Graetz Makes JOHANNESBURG
After 3,7oo-Mile Trip.

London.-Lieut Graetz, the German
officer who Is motoring across Africa
from Dar-es- Salaam to Swakopmund
has arrived at Johannesburg after
having covered 1900 miles in eight
months. He really started as far back
as August, 1907, but was delayed a
year from various causes.
Crossing Lake Tanganyika with his
car was a difficult business. owing tc
the smalness OF the steamer Lieut.
Graetz had to make a detour of 500
miles and cut a road through the bush
In North Nyassaland. owing to the i'm
possibility OF bridging the river.
Fifteen DAYS were spent In cutting
the road, and when It was completed
the car covered 90 iu two DAYS. Con.
tinu0us delays were incurred through
the shortage Of petrol and the nccessi
ty Of sending great distances for SUP
plies
The greatest friendliness and assIs
lance were offered by the natives in
The uncivilized districts. The Iieuteu
ant said that raw natives did every
thing possible TO help him. but d
rectly he approached civilization and
mission stations the natives were mo
good They walked away when
asked for help. and the closest watc,
had to be kept On the motorists kit.
