AS with the poor so with the
tramps we have them with us con-
stantly. And what to do with
them when they come to the back
door for food and money is a prob
lem that almost every housewife
has to meet many times in the
course of year. Usually the prob
lem is met by giving the tramp
something to eat, and probably
money, which generally finds it's
way into the nearest saloon. That
it is an unsatisfactory plan every
one admits, for it encourages idle
ness and aggravates the evil. But
in Germany they do things better.
The municipalities gather in the
tramps and make them work. If a
man reveals an unshaven and un-
washed appearance with other evil
dences of being a "Weary Willie"
he is gathered in and, willy-nilly,
he has to work. The plan seems
to be success for the army of
tramps is steadily decreasing. The
municipalities in this country
might well follow the German
method.

THE FIRST GRAIN
 PUT 0N THE MARKET

The first new grain to bc marketed this season was that of yesterday. when Elijah Allen of Lehi brought the Mesa Milling company several sacks of barley. for which he received 95 cents per hundred. According to the buyers at the mill. the grain was of extra good quality and it was un- derstood that the yield was good. The threshinG machine of Brown X E,nlo began work on the Allen ranch Mon day morning. The price of wheat this season, as has been previously announced, will be considerably lower than that of last season. There have been no offerings so far in the local market, but the mill has given out the statement that when new wheat comes in s1.25 per hundred will be paid for the hard wheat while s165 per hundred will be paid for soft wheat. It is not understood that the season; they are, of course, sub ject to change at any time. The condition of the wheat. the outside market and the local production will all have something tn do with the process that will prevail. While a lit it is understood that the Advance Thresher company will commence on a field of seVen-headed wheat on the Williams ranch south and east of town some time today

DRY LAND FARMERS
 WILL MEET AGAIN
A Conference of Owners Under East
 ern Canal.

A call has been issued for another meeting of the land owners or rather prospective land owners who are prov ing up on homesteads south and east of Mesa and to the east of the Eastern canal or in other words outside of the reclamation project. They will meet at the home of J. D. Attaway next Sun day morning at 10 o'clock for the pur- pose of discussing some means for the getting of water for irrigation pur- poses on their lands. Ii will be recall ed that at the last meeting q commit tee was appointed for the purpose of confcrring with Louis C. Hill on q proposition to furnish electricity for power to be used in the pumping of water from the deep wells. This mat ter was taken up with Mir. Hill several months ago and at that time it is un- dorstood that the price given was en- tirely too high in the opinion of the land owners and that they began a systematic search for some other means whereby they would be able to get the water from the deep wells to the surface.
 The report of the committee which has had q conference with Mir. Hill has not been given out and it is un- derstood further that it's details will not be given out until the meeting Sunday IL is, however, understood from one of the land owners but not member of the committee that the supervising engineer has made a promise that he is in a position to quote prices on electric power to be taken from the transmission line run ming to Sacaton which will be as cheap as any that the land owners could get elsewhere. Just what this price K has not been diVulged
 Since the publication of the letters from Secretary Ballingcr with refer encc to the creating of system of power plants along the north side ca nals the land owners have taken more hope and are somewhat of the opinion that there is yet a possibility of them getting a rate on power which will en- able them to at least cultivate their lands or d part of them and engage in the growing of fruit and garden pro- duets.

DR. PALMER MAY
 BE NEXT MAYOR
The High Man of Council Doesn't
 Want the Office.

Since the election resulting in the election of five councilmen, d clerk. marshal and supervisor, the question has arisen as to just who will be the choice for mayor. The honors of the mayors office are conferred by the councilmen; they have the privi- lege of selecting one from among their number to act in the capacity of mayor of the town as well as the chairman of their body.
 Heretofore it has been somewhat of custom to allow the man receiving the highest number of votes, or rath- CT, to give to the man securing the greatest number of votes, the mayors chair. Two years ago, however this was reversed, Barnett at that time receiving the least number of votes, but at the same time he was the choice of the councilmen for mayor This year Mahoney received the greatest number of votes of the coun- cilmanic candidates. but he has ex- pressed himself as not desiring the mayors chair, and that furthermore he will not serve in that capacity. Two years ago Palmer received the greatest number of votes for council man, he having no opposition at that time. This year he ran even with the ticket, or, to be exact. one vote behind the high man Dr Palmer has executive ability and would no doubt maintain the dignity of the of flee and insist on q certain amount of system necessary in the dispatch of the business which becomes the duty of the town council in the event that he is elected to the position by his fellow councilmen.
 Mayor Barnett. when addressed yesterday by his official title. re marked that he would be mayor for but q few days more, but that he wished to say that he hoped that the coming organization would get along as amicably as has been done in the past two years. In the mayors opin- lon. the past council has done exceed ingly well in the amicabIe adjustment of all differences which of necessity must arise where men are gathered together for the conducting of the peoples business.

FRIENDLY REUNION.

Justice Irwin was yesterday morn ing greeted by two of his old friends, Perfidio Quinones and Vipriano Car cia. who came on a sort of informal call to pay their respects and inform the justice that they had travelled quite a distance from the paths of rectitude. However. while the men were paying their respects. the jus tice reminded them that there were certain other things which might be paid. including fine of seven dollars for being drunk. They were unable to collect the amount from among their friends and were sent out with Supervisor -elect Lou Trimble, where they will be given chance to work out their assessment.

could.

wiches were also supplied, and dishes
of pickles and olives to be eaten with
them. In fact, every provision was
made for the lawn fete that could add
to its success.
The lanterns were strung on wires
which were stretched from tree to tree
about the grounds, and when they
were lighted in the early dusk of the
soft summer evening they made a
beautiful sight. The members of the
reception committee were on hand
early to receive the coming guests. All
the parents, older sisters and brothers,
and cousins and uncles and aunts and
grandparents were there, each doing
his or her best to add merriment to
the occasion.

little lawn stage was decorated. Flags
were draped most artistically about it,
and a bright rug covered the floor,
which was of ordinary boards, and
which had been put in place by the
boys of the committee on preparation.
The largest lanterns were hung di-
rectly above the stage and held very
large candles, thus giving an added
luster to the spot where the entertain
ers should stand.

Then he appointed Charlie ana

after the lanterns. They went the
following morning to little shop

That same afternoon the committee

two or three of the lanterns looked

made of damaged paper and mad tiny

Charlie and Jimmy said they were as
good as the average Chinese lanterns

IT shouldn't think it would be any

The witch described to the children
that it was lots of fun to be an animal
for a little while. After this they
begged her to change them into ami

poodle dog and the other was big

Now you may be sure it was queer

dog did not know how to wag it's tail

When she found they were gone she
thought they were lost, and there they
were before her in the form of a dog

QUEER FACTS ABOUT EGGS

Ostriches lay the largest eggs of all
birds now extant, according to writer
in the Scientific American, but the
ostrichs egg would have appeared
small beside that of the extinct NADIA
gascar bird, the epyornis, which meas
ured more than thirty inches in its
smallest circumference. The smallest
birds eggs are those of the minute
species of humming bird, which are
smaller than the eggs of certain kinds
of tropical beetles. But the cuckoo
lays the relatively smallest egg. That
is to say, while the jackdaw and the
cuckoo are about equal in size, the
formers egg is five or six times larger
than the latter's. The fact that the
cuckoo is wont to deposit its eggs in
the nests of birds which are usually
much smaller than itself doubtless ac-
counts for this. The relatively largest
egg is laid by the kiwi, strang wing
less New Zealand bird. The egg is no
less than five inches long, although the
extreme length of the bird is only
twenty-seven inches.
