want OF water, and for time 1t
looked as though the beet crop had

hot weather during the greater part
OF last week. AT one time the ther-

shade. which is most unusual for this
time of the year The change In the
atmosphere last Thursday gave the
tiny rots TO tho sugar beets a chance
to gain a little strength. and the
farmers were saved the necessity OF
replanting.

THE AIM OF EDUCATION.

"I want my daughter to get enough education so she can make d good ap- appearance anywhere was a remark made by a mother concerning her daughters school life. The probabili- ty is the woman meant much more than her words would seem to imply; that she desires her daughter to have not merely the show of an educa = ton. but one which has given her self reliability, power and mental poise; one which develops the character SD that she is equal to the emergencies and exigencies of life. That, after all. is the true educatiOn: not one which simply teaches science, or how to teach matheatics by the most improved methods. but an adequate training of the mind. which will give us the mas tery of the situation.

WILL HAVE MACHINE
 FOR SUMMER TRIPS
The Purchase of Four Cylinder Duro
 Car.

Dr and Mrs. w c. De Wore have planned to spend d real vacation in Southern California this summer. The doctor has placed with the DurO Car company. through it's agent. Harry Thompson. an order for thirty five horsepower four cylinder. four -passen- ger car The new machine is little different from the same make of cars that are here and is also different in color having as mahogany finish. The machine will be delivered in Los Angeles and will be on hand there when MT. and Mrs. De Wore arrive the last of the week They expect to use it there all summer and upon their return in the early fall will ship it to Tempe.
 The doctor is looking forward to q number of very pleasant trips there during the summer. and if all goes well will probably drive the machine to San Francisco and back.
 The sale of this car makes the fifth sale for MT. Thompson on this side of the river during his stay here. In every instance the Duro car has dem Onstrated it's worth and those who are using it are we'll pleased and sat isfied.

SALE OF PROPERTY
 AT A GOOD FIGURE
An illustration of the Rapid Advance
 in the Value of Tempe Lands.

Through the agency of A. NeiIsen & Co, a deal was closed Saturday be- tween F. NJ Hudlow and Alexander Brothers, whereby the former takes on the Hermosa tract The reported consideration in the transaction was two hundred dollars an acre. but even at that figure, Mir. Hudlow considers that he made good buy. The ranch is one of the most productive in that section. having on it about five acres of Prunus JImOni plums. The net yield of that crop alone this season has been about SIX hundred dollars The other fifteen acres of farming land is good for nearly that much more, so it can be seen at a glance that the place can be made a paying proposition. Mir. dudlow does not get this years crop, bu: will be prepared to handle all subse- quent ones.
 The sale of this place at the figure reported is a nice little illustration of the net advance property has been making here the last year or so. A year and half ago the Alexander Brothers purchased the ranch at S150 per acre and thought they were pay ing a good price for it. They have had two good crops off it and real ized neat profit on the investment in the bargain. Wher it is taken into consideration that they both taught school this past winter and devoted very little time to the ranch. but still grew d crop worth at least d thousand collars. one can easily see how much small piece of land can be made Co brig when one really farms it.
 The purchase by MT. Ludlow is the erect result of a sale he made a sECIt time ago of fourteen acres west of town to J. E. McClain. MT Me CIain is another man who has proven that the Salt River Valely is the real place to become prosperous. When he came here from the east a few years ago he purchased ten acres west of town. He soon felt able to pick up another ten that adjoined his ranch. He continued to prosper and then annexed the Hudlow place. He now has a ranch of 34 acres, and the best part of it is that the land has all paid for itself.

 AND CONSOLIDATED AREAS New Plan Will Probably Involve the Abandonment of Some of Ditches On the South Side Other Changes
AND CONSOLIDATED AREAS

In the arrangement of the south side canal systems by the reclamation ser vice the primary object has apparently been to reach the land to be irrigated in the shortest possible distance. With such an idea in mind there has come about a plan to drop from the system q number of laterais and ditches which have been in use for years and which the people had gradually come to be- lieve were absolutely necessary for conducting the water to their lands. However, the reclamation service has the advantage over the old order Of doing things in that they have consol-

dated at least three systems and a part of fourth and are in position to do away with parallel laterals. The East Mesa canal is an illustration of what can be accomplished by the re- clamation service since they own both the Consolidated and Mesa systems and will maintain the two ditches so long as they parallel.
 The East Mesa in ali probability within the next two motnhs will he abandoned north of the Base Line. The water for the laterals east of town such as the Barkley. East Lewis and Allen ditches will be fed from the Consolidated canal. In this connection it might be said that the Consolidated canal at the present time IS being widened no less than six feet at the bottom. The canal when completed will be twenty four feet in width at the bottom. The original bottom was only eighteen feet in width and for the past few years has not been nearly that wide.
 Another feature of the plans which are rapidly being put into effect IS that the Mesa. the canal running north of town, which now has capacity Tor ten thousand acres in all probability will be enlarged perceptibly. enough at least to not only furnish water for the lands which have always been inciud- cd under the Mesa system but also those lands which have heretofore been included under the Eureka and Alma systems and fed from the Utah. with the running of water through the Mesa system for the supplying of the Eureka and Alma ditches will prop ably mean abandonment of the Juan Extension. Heretofore the primary nrrpose of the extension was to carry the water to the Eureka.
 The above mentioned plans are only a few of the more important that are scheduled to take place in the near fu- ture. As q matter of fact $. K. Baker the engineer who ran the lines and had charge of the construction of the East ern system. is making a complete sur yev of the entire group of systems on the south side that have been taken over by the government. No douo' many changes will be made according to MT. Bakers recommendations. IL is a well known fact that the several systems under one management "Hl be able to serve the land better ana through a much shorter ditch and m those cases if the abandonment ot a dicth of long standing is found pest the ditch will be abandoned or II the digging of a new ditch is found to bring about the desired result a new ditch will be dug.
