into the world at the completion Of his
first big step on naval career.
The Christmas parade is one OF the
three big student celebrations OF the
year. and the one in which Formally is
thrown to the wind with the greatest
abandon. The others are the masquerade,
later In the winter. and the burial OF
"Mafh and Skinny" which takes place
pletion Of the studies OF mathematics and
physics. Both Of these are more formal
and recognised affairs than the Christ
mas parade. The masquerade Is a reg
u'arly scheduled performance. taking
place In the Academy auditorium, while
the burial Of Math and skinny, once
quite as wild an orgy az the Christmas
parade. has now grown quite orderly and
decorous. and IL regularly assigned a

It must not be thought by this that all

the academy authorities willingly allow
the midshipmen, to devote money for GER

P. H. OzANNE BUYS
 WAKEL|N PHARMACY
Has Been the Pharmacist of the Store For Five Years.-Mr. Wakein Will Engage in Other Business.

Philo H. Ozanne yesterday bought the Wakelin pharmacy at the corner of First avenue and Washington street and will take charge as soon as the in ventory now in progress has been com pleted. Mir. OZanne has been the pharmacist of the store for five years past, so he knows well the trade and patrons of it. Mir. Ozanne is an Ari- zonian acclimated by residence of fif- teen years in this valley. Tempe hay ing been his home before he came to Phoenix. He was at one time employ ed in a Tempe bank, and was formerly in the drug business in Chicago, having graduated as a pharmaceutical chemist from the University of Illinois
 Mir OZanne is not only professionally well equipped. but has a wide ac- quaintance all over the vale- and perfect personal knowledge of his bus mess and the demands of his trade. as well as a personal popularity that will avail him more than ever. now that he is conducting the business in his own name and interest.
 Concerning MT. Wakelin. the sale of the drug store is no indication that he has grown weary of Phoenix. or that he will be less identified with it's busi- ness interests than formerly. He still has his wholesale and retail grocery establishment. one of the largest in Arizona. It is not understood. how ever, that he intends to take active charge of that business, but will de- vote himself to other lines. not mer- cantile, but equally as much identified with the business interests of the city This has been the home of Mir. Wakelin for sixteen years past. and he expects to remain here permanently. He is as appreciative as any citizen of the pres ent and future prosperity of the city and valley, and knows of no place he prefers tO live. and certainly of no place more inviting for business and investment

VALLEY BANK BUYS
 PAINTINGS BY ROLLINS
Casa Grande" and People of the
 SoiI'' Acquired By the Bank.

 The Valley bank has just pur- chased two large oil paintings from Warren F. Rollins, the artist, whose l famous picture "The Grand Canyon, was bought by the Santa Fe road and is now on exhibition in the main of fees of that company in Los An geles. The pictures purchased by the Valley bank are Casa Grande," and People of the Soil" They were hung on the walls at the right and left of the entrance yesterday and are a great addition to the banks interior.
 Casa Grande" was painted by MT. Rollins while he was spending several weeks at the old ruins in the Gila valley in Pinal county.
 MT. Rollins went to the ruins as the guest of the eminent archeologist, Dr J. Walter Fewkes who was com missioned by the Smithsonian insti- ute of Washington to repair the ruins and obtain all data accessible in regard to this historic ruin of un- known antiquity. Mir Rollins is the only artist who has attempted to make a picture of the Casa Grande ruins and the result is not alone of artistic merit, but of great historical
 
 value.
 While the architecture of the ruins is more or less severe and the lines straight, the artist has made a pie ture of it by introducing the figure of the Franciscan Father Font in the the foreground and by the brilliant, vibrant coloring which is perhaps mo- where to be found except in desert countries.
 Casa Grande is recognized as one of the most important and interest ing type of ruins in America if not in the world. It was first mentioned by the explorer De Vacca as far back as l53S. Father Keno is credited with being the first discoverer of the great house in 1894, but an authentic re- port of Casa Grande prior to the ad- vent of the Spanish was made by Father Font in 1777, who remained some time in the vicinity, evangeliZ- ing the natives.
 Recognizing the important f rra- serving this ruin, congress mace an appropriation to be disbursed under the direction of the Smithsonian in- stitute, and the field work was pl-ced in charge of Dr. Fewkes He sue ceeded not only in preserving the ruin but also brought to light buried ci.ias and relics of the early inhabitants of this country.
 There are many who are of the opinion that MT. Rollins painting of the Casa Grande ruin should have ornamented the walls of the capitol of the territory in which the ruins exist. It is fortunate that the painting of MT. Rollins is to remain in Phoenix and not be disposed of in other cities as most of his work has been.
 The other picture acquired by the Valley bank is d representation of the desert with the characteristic cacti standing like green javelins dropped from the sky. off in the dis tance is a Pima camp with cobweb of smoke floating upward In the foreground is a bent figure leading q child who drags behind him bunch of faggOts. It is the period of twi- light. the faint moon rising above the sand dunes.
 MT. Rollins has decided to leave Phoenix and make his home in the future in Los Angeles. Fond as he is of picturesque Arizona, he thinks that there is a better market for his pie lures in the larger city.
