Farmers! Mix Your Own Fertilizers.
e. CROSBY & CO.
pro%<lobcv.o Varr,Ot,f

Do you know that home mixing Of fertil-
izers has proved to be the most economical
and satisfactory method Of procuring fer
tilizers? 1t is now generally conceded by
up-todate agriculturalists that better re-
suits are obtained by buying the crude
materials and mixing fertilizers especially
adapted to the different crops you raise,
and the varying conditions of the soil
found on the farm.
If you will send us your name on postal
with request therefor, we will send you
free, postpaid, number of formulas which
were made up for us by the Director of the
Vermont Experiment Station and which
have been used by many Vermont farmers
with excellent success. We will also give
full directions for mixing fertilizers adapted
to all the crops commonly raised on Yer
mont farms. When writing please mention
this paper. Address Carroll S. Page, Hyde

The Roosevelt Service VIII
 Run Till First of Year REQUIRED ACTIVE WORK
In Order to Avoid Discon- tinuance of the Route Be tween This Place and the Tonto Town Which Was Ordered Discontinued.

The welcome news to the effect that Joseph Stewart, second assistant post master general, had decided to allow the star route mail contract which is in effect between Mesa and Roosevelt, to continue until the first of the year, was received in a special message to Postmaster Newell yesterday forenoon. It will be recalled that several days ago a ruling was received by the local postmaster and the local holder of the contract, A. G. Keen, to the effect that the agreement was to be discontinued on the 3Oth day of September, 1t being understood that after that date the mail into Roosevelt would all be routed by way of Globe and carried thence by stage into the Tonto town.
 Immediately upon the receipt of the news to the effect that contract had been cancelled numerous petitions telegrams and personal letters were forwarded to the postoffice department Just which means of getting at the de- sired results has not been divulged, the more important part of it being that the new lease on the life of the con- tract has been granted and that an op- portunity will be given to get further information before the department which may be the means of continu- ing the contract until it expires.

PUZZLED Hard Work, Sometimes, to Raise Children.

Children's taste is oftentimes more accurate, in selecting the right kind of food to fit the body, than that of adults. Nature works more accurately through the children.
 A Brooklyn lady says: "Our little boy had long been troubled with weak digestion. We could never persuade him to take more than one taste sf any kind of cereal food. He was weak little chap and we were puzzled to know what to feed him on.
 "One lucky day we tried Grape-Nuts We'll you never saw child eat with such relish, and it did me good to see him. From that day on 1t seemed as though we could almost see him grow He would eat Grape-Nuts foc break fast and supper and I think he would have liked the food for dinner.
 "The difference in his appearance Is something wonderful.
 My husband had never fancied cere- al foods of any kind, but he became very fond of Grape-Nuts and has been much improved in health since using it.
 I've are now healthy family and naturally believe in GrapeNuts.
 Irlenu ndS two cnllCTeh WHo Weie formerly afflicted with rickets. I was satisfied that the disease was caused by lack of proper nourishmeat. They showed it. So I urged her to use Grape Nuts as an experiment. and the result was almost magical.
 "They continued the food and to- day both children are we'll and strong as any children in this city. and, of course, my friend is firm believer in Grape Nuts for she has the evidence before her eyes every day..

be packed down as they are filled in, 1t will only make a bad matter worse to put more loose dirt on them.
 Mir. Acuff made a suggestion to this effect: It seems that at the present time. the board of supervis- ors is up against it to use an eX- pressive term. The amount of mon ey it had set aside for road mainten- ance has been exhausted; the board is consequently without funds to do the work that is so sorely needed on the road in question. MT. kcuff is of the opinion that if Tempe and Mesa could subscribe a fund of say a hundred dollars or so each, as much more could be raised on the north side of the river. With a part of this fund a sprinkler wagon with a gasoline pump attachment could be secured. the bad places in the road could be filled in with caliche and with the sprinkler wagon, could be soaked down, In this fashion the road could. be wonderfully improved rain or no rain. A wagon of this kind could be used to great advan- tage all the year round for with its aid whenever spot in the road begins to cut up during dry weather 1t could be quickly repaired. With a wagon of this kind access to the en- tire road could be had for there IS no place. along the road where water could not be pumped from either canal or the river
 It is planned to have the board oi trade of Tempe take this matter uI with the boards of the other two towns and it is to be fondly hoped that some solution of the problem may be made. MT. Finch is of th' opinion that there would be no diff culty in raising a fund sufficient t' handle the work. There is no ques
 ton but that machine owners wh'
 have occasion to travel frequent!

Plenty of Amusement For People of Tempe
The Pastime and The Goodwin Opera
 House Will Both Run.

Wm. Goodwin was in Phoenix yes terday and made arrangements while there for his moving picture films for this winters business. The fact that Mir Goodwin and MT. Lapham could not come to terms will mean that both show houses will run this winter unless one or the other quits business. MT. Goodwin plans to run picture shows three or four nights each week with an occasional larger show He will get all of the John Cort bookings of shows that cater to towns the size of Tempe and has been assured that there will be some first class shows here this winter.
 Manager Lapham of the Pastime has announced that he proposed to roof the Pastime and continue that show house through the winter. The indications are that Tempe will not lack for amusement during the win ter months

Death of W. D. Webster
 In Vicinity of Higley
Was Member of I. O. O. E. Lodge
 Buried at Prescott.

w D. Webster. who came to the Salt River valley over d year ago from Prescott, making filing on a tract of land near Higley postoffice, died early yesterday morning at his home on the desert, surrounded by his wife and children. The condition of the deceased for the past several months has been considered danger ous, he being a sufferer of an ailment similar to miners consumption, a dis ease which he contracted several years ago while employed in the northern part of the territory. For the past week the condition of the patient has been growing steadily worse, and on Sunday it was real ized that the end was not far distant Everything that medical attendance could do was employed. No less than two months ago Charles Webster, a son, was urged to come to this place from Prescott on account of the con dition of his father, it being thought at that time that the man was dying
 The deceased was a member of the I. O. O. F., who are looking after the burial ceremonies, which will take place in Prescott. The deceased leaves wife and three children. He was ( man respected by his neighbors ant held in high esteem by all who knew him.

Popular Clothing Store
 To Change Location
Will Occupy North Room of New Ma
 honey Building.

The Popular clothing store, which has been occupying the Vance building on West Main street adjoining the O. S Stapley & Go. string of stores, will move into the north portion of the new Mahoney building as soon as the rooms are ready for occupancy. The install lation of the plate glass in the windows was nearly completed yesterday, which will be followed by the adding of the necessary shelving and other equip ment necessary for the clothing busi- ness. It is not known just what firm will occupy the building which will be vacated by the Popular, but it was un- derstood yesterday that the Wilbur Realty company. which has held lease on the Mahoney building, will move into the Vance rooms. Not only is the Popular to undergo a change of loca- tion, but a change in management as well. O. c. Bullock, the former pro- prietor of the establishment. will retire from the firm and T. G. Payton will take the position made vacant by the resignation of MT. Bullock. T. NJ Bates, who has been with the Popular since its first organization, will con- tinue with the firm in the capacity of manager
 The Popular under the new manage ment will no doubt continue to warrant the patronage of the residents of Mesa and vicinity in the future as 1t has in the past. The stock is to be enlarged and when installed in the new apart ments, which will be sometime next week. the place will be che of the most important headquarters for ladies and gentlemen's clothing to be found in the city.

MisaprehenSiOn About
 Distribution of Water
SUMMER WATER ACREAGE MAY
 BE INCREASED PERcEPTIRLY.
All Lands May Be Watered That Hav'
 Been Irrigated Within Past Year.

Within the past few days the infor- nation has been pretty generally dls- seminated to the effect that landown- CTS under the reclamation service ca nals could only secure water Tor the acreage for which summer water was purchased. The real status of the case Is as follows: All land owners may pur- chase water for their respective lands that have been irrigated at any time since September year ago. The pur- chase of summer water in no way regulates the sale of winter water. For instance, if a land owner purchased water for twenty acres during the summer season he may now purchase water for 160 acres providing of course that his land has been receiving water prior to the purchase of summer water last spring and also provided that the land in question is entitled to water under the Kent decision.

 IF ROADS How the Tempe-PhoenIK One May Be Improved SUGGESTION BY ACUfF
The County Road Supt. Sees a Way in Which the Present Condition of the Phoenix Tempe Road May Be Changed.

If is an acknowledged fact that not for years past have the roads be- tween here and Phoenix been in the condition they are today. This same condition is true to a greater or les ser extent all over the valley at the present time but it is probably more noticeable on the PhoeniX-Tempe road for the reason that this particular highway is perhaps as much traV- eled as any other road in the val lev This deplorable condition IS due largely to the unusual dry weather and the blame for their present state can hardly be laid upon any one.
 Different ones have presented diff ferent plans of improving this state of affairs and it is obvious that something should be done at once.
 A couple of days ago G. R. Finch was in Phoenix and had a talk with County Road Superintendent Acuff regarding the matter. There are probably no class of men more in terested in the conditions of the road between here and Phoenix than the liverymen. They are losing money every day for where few months ago dozen rigs were used be- tween here and Phoenix there isn't one today. Many people who former ly drove over now take the train simply on account of the roads.
 MT Finch and Mir. Acuff talked the matter over pretty thoroughly and both agreed that it would be useless to undertake any improvements on the Phoenix-Tempe road under the present dry circumstances, unless some provision could be made for the wetting dswn of the places where dirt is hauled in to fill up chuck holes. Unless these bad places can
