Most Of all is it disappointing to the Re-

solemn pledge. Undeniably Mr.. Taft
has made it less shocking. But we do
not believe that President Taft or any
body else will be able to convince the
people that the bill reported by the Con-
ference Committee, and which, it is
understood, the President will sign when
it comes to him, is a redemption in good

possible that any deception could have
been practiced.
These two incidents are only the
first of long series of similar expert
ments conducted by Sir william
Crookes and his scientific helpers. He
invented a number of electrical ma
chimes, recording instruments and
'clockwork mechanisms TO assist him in
ment" which might have entered into
his personal Investigations. In all
these experiments he never allowed his
judgment to be carried away either by
the novelty of the phenomena or the
apparent nquestionableness of the re-
suits. Nothing was accepted without
first subjecting it to the severest pos
sible analysis.

a band of particularly affable person

They responded readily to all of his
suggestions and even seemed to- take
pleasure in carrying out his ideas.
One of the most remarkable mate
rializing instances described by Sir
William Crookes took place in his own
dining room. "A beautifully formed
small hand rose up from an opening

apparition. "It appeared. then dis

fording me ample opportunity of salts

appearance as my own. This occurred
in the light of my own room"

In discussing subjects with the

lately made even more striking expert

Under circumstances OF illumination
practically equal TO daylight he has
obtained wonderful results.

he is so famous. and when his more

The Mesa chamber of commerce or at least a few of the directors are talk ing considerable interest in the prop osition for a special edition of The Earth for August. which will deal with the Salt River valley. and when Mrs. Russell returns to Mesa she will probably receive considerable encour- agement from the board. Mrs. Russell has medium for reaching the real homeseeker. the man with the means and ability probably better than any other publicist ever in the valley. It is true that The Earth is a free publi- cation and it is considered that the cheaper the price of a magazine or publication the poorer advertising medium. but this has never been held against h'The Earth"
 The real estate men of Mesa who patropized the last August edition of this publication quite liberally have no hesitatcy in stating that it has been one Of the best foreign advertising mediums they have ever tested.

CIRCUS DAY A THING OF
 DIM AND MISTY PAST
THE PERFORMANCE WAS WELL
 ATTENDED IN AFTERNOON.
More People in Mesa Than Ever Be- fore and All Seemed Satisfied.

Circus day has come and gone but the memories of the elephants in the parade, the Armour grays, the toy balloons, the bankers around the main entrance and in fact all the conglom- eration of chaotic noises and impres sions will live on for many a day Sells Floto is the biggest thing that ever happened in the circus world but it is a distinctively western production and it is built along true circus pro portions with the hair raising es- capades thrown in for good luck. A circus is always a circus and while the many acts are comparatively the same there is yet a difference and it is that difference that makes the Sells Floto as good a show as the larger organizations.
 Mesa is not the largest town in the west, not in Arizona for that matter. but it came nearer being so yesterday than ever before in its history for ev- erybody and a good portion of their relatives and small children were pres ent at the street parade yesterday morning.
 Unfortunately the circus gave but one exhibition in Mesa owing to the fact that the distance from here to Yuma where the show is appearing to- day is so great that they had to leave early. and it is possible that a few came here expecting a night perform ance. when as a matter of fact the Sells F1oto people showed everything they had in the afternoon.
 This show, like good many others. has taken a good deal of money out of the country and it will never find its way back here again. for a dollar invested in a circus ticket is gone for ever. However there is something about a circus that appeals to every body to a greater or less degree and the young American who does not approve of such frivolties needs the immediate attention of a physician. Circuses are coming to be a necessity.

CANTALOUPE GROWERS WILL PLANT IMMEDIATELY THE ASSOCIATION HAS DECIDED TO COMMENCE HARVEST
 JULY 1ST.
The Advantages of the Seed, Crates,
 and Nails Being Advanced.

The Cantaloupe Growers association will commence the planting of their crop for this season within a week and continue to the end of this month. This agreement has been reached after an understanding with H. Woods of Chicago, the commission firm which will handle the Mesa crop again this season.
 The Mesa growers have eXperimented on several different, planting seasons and have found that the best time to get in their crop so that it will com mence ripening for shipment is about the first of April. The idea of later planting this year is of course brought about on account of the serious inter ference of the California slump last season the idea being to miss that this year If the first part of the Mesa product can be shipped out after the fourth Of July it will mean that the bulk nf the shipments will be after the California crop is out of the way. However the crop must not be too late for two reasons, one of them being the thebaphis peculiar to this climate and the shipments which will com lnence going 10 the eastern markets from points to the north of here.
 K. L. ATumford who is in charge of the association work at this point for the commission company states that the acreage will be fully as large as last year and that the indications are exceedingly good for a large crop.
 The seed, which is advanced by MT. Woods comes from Colorado and is saved bv a grower who has been in this line of work for the past dozen years. He does nothing else but save the seed from his melons. The same arrangements in regard to the forty cent advance on standard crates will hold this year.
 The Mesa growers are in splendid shape for the coming crop in a finan- cial way. It is understood that few of them are getting money to carry them over However this comes about partly because Mir. Woods always ad- vances the crates. nails. and seed and practically all the expense is the labor of putting in and cultivating

Two teams. hitched to heavy wa gons which are being used for hauling brick, took fright near the P X F. station yesterday while the Selle- Floto parade was passing and ran along Macdonald street at a break neck speed. The drivers were in the wagons, one following the other, but they were powerless to even check the excited animals. It is a wonder that several people were not injured. How ever no one was hurt. The teams were stopped by horsemen riding at their heads and grabbing them by the bri- dies.
