Why Be Lonely I!
you NEED NOT BE If YOU
HAVE THE RIGHT KIND
OF DISPOSITION.

SOME women wonder why they have
~ few friends, and yet tho reasons
are so very simple they are apparent
to even casual acuuaintances.
DO you care TO go with any ono who
gives you the blues-for instance, who
is always moaning and bewailing her
self and telling YOU what hard time
she is having?
And yet any number of women are
guilty OF this objectionable fault. They
want friends simply for tho purpose of
unloading their troubles on them. They
are selfish, too, because when these
same friends come to them in afliction
they usually cut things pretty short IL
they cannot bring tho subject back to
their own much more severe tribula-
tions.
It's an odd fact, but I have rarely
seen a persistently cheerful woman
lonely--she is in too great demand.
Another reason for being lonely Is
stiffness and formallty. Some women
never can entertain simply. They must
either give receptions or dinners or
else nothing. What mistakel Some
OF the most charming affairs in the so
cial line are often tho result of i'm
pulse, of the coming together of n few
people who are congenial and full of
unaffected good humor. Parties given
by those who are merely rich and who
don't know how TO entertain bore their
guests to death, while the hostess who
has the gift of charm and hospitality
can bewitch her guests with a simple
cup of tea. II is not where you live
or how you live which counts for so
much as how you bear your own self.
your own sweet disposition, your
| charming ways ord, above all, your
warm hearted uoSe'lshness, for moth
ing gains friends quicker in this world
than the latter.
| Encourage people TO run in and see
you. II they fn1 you sewing. go right
on; give'them seam to hem. II they
find you cooking let them sample a bit
of your pie or cake, Even IL they find
you housekeeping don't be embar-
raised: laugh and pass it off as a joxc.
You are not the f-st woman who has
had to clean house, an1 it is better 10
be found cleaning house than living in
a dirty one.
Be Informal, be cheery, bo your own
self, and the right friends will como
to you without fau.

BUSINESS ANNOUNCES
MENT.

From today, The Herald is to be
owned and published by The Browns
vile Herald Publishing Company. An
interest in the plant has been pur-
chased by Martin J Slattery, OF
Brooklyn. N. Y. who will come to re-
side at Brownsville and actively iden-
tify himself with the business. Mr..
Slattery is an able and experienced
newspaper publisher, having been for
several years associated with the pub
lication of the Hartford Conn }
Times. and the former owner of
the plant feels that The Herald and
its patrons will be the gamers by the
acquisition of one so well fitted for
the work of operating and develop
ing a newspaper enterprise.
Mr.. Slattery is now en- route to
Brownsville from New York, where
he has been engaged in ordering new
machinery and other equipment for
the greater Herald. which it is the
aim of the new company to give to
its numerous patrons throughout the
valley.
As previously announced, The Daily
Herald will be enlarged, as soon as
the material is received and installed.
1t will also begin receiving daily press
dispatches as soon as the Western
Union Telegraph company can deliver
the press report at Brownsville.
Machinery and other equipment
have also been secured for the me-
chanical department of The Herald
which will make this the best
equipped printing and publishing
plant in South Texas, outside of
Houston, Galveston or San Antonio.
The faith of The Herald in the fut-
ure of Brownsville and the entire val
ley of the Lower Rio Grande has in
spired the expenditure of the large
sum requisite to secure these i'm
provements. and the company be-
lieves that the enterprise which it
thus displays will meet the cordial
and unstinted support of the people
and business interests of this fast de-
veloping region.
The former sole owner and publish
er of The Herald wishes to take this
opportunity to express her sincere
appreciation of the generous support
which the many patrons of The Her
aid have extended to the paper, there
by assisting in assuring its success,
and whose sympathy and encourage
ment have ever been an inspiration
to keep on with the work of promot-
ing the progress of Brownsville and
the entire Lower Rio Grande Valley.
She would also ask these kind friends
and patrons to continue to extend the
same encouragement to the new man
agement. which will endeavor to fully
merit their esteem. and with which
she will continue to be prominently
identified

Arizona republican., 1909-05-16
To the editor of The Republican,

To the editor of The Republican,
 Sir:-We, the undersigned, citizens and tax payers of the south side section, who are being characterized by the Tempe bridge committee as peons of MT Heard, and without any substantial interests in that portion of Maricopa county south of the site for the Center street bridge, desire a few words with the fair minded men of the county.
 We have lived on these lands and cultivated them for years many of us for a quarter of a century, and we ask that when the voters of Mari copa county are called upon to pass judgment upon this bridge question at the polls, that they consider the justice of our cause.
 There are hundreds of citizens in this section, and opportunities for many hundreds more, and all of our business is of a necessity transacted in Phoenix All our trading is done with the merchants of the Capitol City, which necessitates our visiting that city tdCH Wtch, anu while we are not as prosperous as are the citizens of Tempe, yet we have rights that ought to be respected by even the Tempe bridge committee.
 This section comprises upwards of 30,000 acres of fine land, and it ought to contain a population of two or three thousand people, and we firmly believe that had we a bridge across Salt river, whereby we could transact business promptly and without danger in Phoenix, that within three years our population wou.d increase two hundred fold.
 Tempe has a railroad connection with Phoenix, and it's people are not in any manner hampered during periods of high water in the transac- ton of their business, as they always have daily trains running to and from the Capitol City, which fulfills every requirement. of her citizens, while the men and women who live in this section, are absolutely isolated in times of high water, without mail or other necessities of times for many days.
 We are not appealing to our peo- pie for Heard or for any other cor poration; we are only asking justice for ourselves and families. Our section of country is capable of main- taining a large and prosperous farm ing population, and if the Center street bridge is constructed, we be- lieve this portion of Maricopa coun- ty will take rank among the best in the Salt River Valley.
 The people of Tempe would in no wise be injured by this bridge; they would have the same easy facilities for getting to and from Phoenix as
