BASEBALL IN HEAVEN.

once admit that the future state of the blessed who have lived their lives under modern Occidental condi- tions cannot altogether fall in with the traditional conception of heaven which was shaped. necessarily. so far as the Bible has formed it, by quite different conditions of life in the near east many centuries ago. and it does not seem so shocking to face the possibility of having home and modern forms Cf recreation continued in the state beyond. The New Bedford pas tor. in expressing the hope that he may he permitted in the New Jerusa- lem to occasionally share in or watch a baseball game, is no doubt only expressing point of view which some of his fellow clergymen have thought eff not expressed). This is said with the fact in mind that some of the most inveterante fans of the baseball contests of this country are men who on Sundays stand in pulpits and during the week act as counselors and pastors. Hopes along this line. will, of course. vary No doubt Dr. Henry Van Dyke has cherished simi- lar hopes of piscatorial adventures in the little rivers of heaven. It is quite certain that pr.

and twenty days, and refuses to make settlement. then his name is handed over to the committee in charge of the blacklist. The name of John Smith will appear on the list and his indebt- edness to every business firm in the town. Tn the event that he. tries to es- tablish credit at another place of busi- extends credit to any individual whose name appears on the black list a nominal fine will be assessed against that particular merchant, all of which is provided for in the constitution and bylaws of the association.
 It is the concensus of opinion that the association will not only be a good thing for the business firms hut that it will be better for the individuals who have been in the habit of getting cred it indiscriminately It is a notorious fact that the credit system in Mesa in the past has been conducted in the most slipShcd manner imaginable It has been said that all that is required to establish credit is the asking. Such practices on the part of the merchants not only weakened their standing with the jObbers to a certain extent. but the custom had a tendency to breed eX- travagance in the buyer. An individu- al who has credit at store will often buy many things which are not neces- sary, and the less his intention of pay ing the greater his tendency to buy.

MERCHANTS PROTECTIVE
 ASSOCIATION MEETING SYSTEM OF EXTENDING CREDIT
 SUCCESSFUL. Believed That Organization Will Be
 Better for Town.

The Mesa Merchants Protective as sociation met Thursday evening in the law offices of Silverthorn & Sexton for the purpose of going over the business of the past month and also to discuss further plans for the improvement of the present system of collecting old accounts and the necessary precaution required in order to keep the books free from bad accounts. One feature of the meeting which was highly gra- tifying to all members was that it is now practically assured that every business firm in the city will become a member of the association. this be-
 ing an item which will strengthen the organization. It was further given out that the past months expenses have not been great and that no assessment will be required.
 However. the most gratifying infOr
 nation presented to the stockholders is that the system of collecting IS work
 ing well. As is we'll understood, the object of the association is 70 collect bad accounts and to keep the records free from bad accounts. It is believed that the system will do this.
 In order to better understand the situation with which the merchants had to contend it should be explained that John Smith might establish cred it at LeSueur & Co.'S, or at the A. & E. grocery or at the TOggery and fail to meet his obligations. Under the old system all John Smith had to do when refused credit at one store was to go down the street to the next place of business handling the kind of goods that he desired and again secure cred it. Grocery store No 1 knew that John Smith would not pay his bill. but the proprietor of grocery No did not knOv this until he learned by eX- perience. Grocery No. after he had learned of Johns way of doing busi- ness kept the information tc himself. with the result that the Smith family was we'll provided for by the merchants of the town. The system adopted by the association will eliminate this. If John Smith owes a bill at the TOggery which he has been requested tO pay for period of ninety or a hundred

 BUSINESS TRIP EAST.


 F w.

St. Louis and Little Rock. Arkansas. He has recently secured some land in both Kansas and Arkansas and his trip was on business with reference to these two pieces of property. On his way back he ran across lot of very unpleasant weather; he found it decidedly warm and, though yes terdy was hot day here, he did not find it as isagreeable as many of the days he spent further east. He expects to leave tomorrow for his property near Prescott and will be back through here in a few days on his way home.
 In California Mir Holsapple has some property that looks good to him. He bought it as an oil specula- ton and the fact that several good flows of oil have just been struck on the land adjoining him has en- outraged him immensely.

SHOWER OF GOLD AND LOTS

The sale of town lots in North Ever green addition yesterday was very successful, notwithstanding the fact that it was somewhat interfered with by the weather in the afternoon, it be- ing necessary to finish the sale in the Mesa opera house on account of the rain. While the bidding was not spir- ited, it was nevertheless substantial and while speculation might have been the means of some buyers being pres ent. it is believed that the greater DOT tion of the buyers made their pur- chase with the intention of becoming residents of North Evergreen at some time in the future.
 The sale was conducted by B w Getsinger of the Arizona Auction com pany of Phoenix and part of the sue cess of the sale is greatly due to his efforts in getting the highest bid avail able on every lot up for sale.
 The sale was not concluded at the time of the writing of this article. but it is believed that the price of lots would average in the neighborhood of $50 each. The margin is not d wide one for the owners Of the property

 The stores closed at noon and the town during the afternoon was prac- tically deserted The excursion from Phoenix arrived before 10 o'clock and the Industrial Liberty band of the cap ital city paraded the streets. finally ending at the new addition One of the features of the day was in the manner in which free lunch. ice water. lemonate and watermelons were given away.

However. while it was one of the rules in giving away the lots that the winner should be in the crowd when the name should be called the crowd insisted that the lot should he given to him. The generosi- ty of those present was appreciated. and upon vote it was found 10 be the unanimous opinion that the lot should go to MT. Riggs.
 On account of the sale being ad- vertised for the dull season of the year. there were a few who were of the opinion that the property would not sell. However. the crowd was pres ent and they bought lots-two very essential items in the pulling off of d successful auction sale.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE IN
 UNION HIGH SCHOOL YOUNG LADIES WILL BE TAUGHT
 TO SEW.
Manual Training Department Is Not
 Being Overlooked.

For that class of individuals who have been crying for something really practical in the public schools it must be said that the equipment of the do- mestic science department in the Mesa union high school is calculated to meet all demands. Six sewing machines. which among many other needfulls. are on the list to be purchased for the use of the young ladies and the young men too, for that matter. who desire to learn how to manufacture their own clothing. Not only will the young ladies be given d chance to learn sewing. but they will be taught the art of cooking. not as they read it in books, but stoves and regular cook ing utensils will be provided and they will be given practical demonstrations in the fine art of culinary accomplish ment.
 It should be stated at this time that the trustees of the high school board have been rather generous in their ap- propriation for this department and it should prove one of the popular de- partments of next seasons course.
 While the domestic science depart ment Is being fully equipped the manu- al training department has not been slighted. While that department last season was not overlooked many of the young men turning out useful ar ticles with their carpenters tools. ye; this season will see many improve ments and additions to this line of work

NAMES DESERTED VILLAGES.

Mainehas her deserted farms and now and then one can find her de- serted villages. Such one is Welch- vile, in the town and county of OK ford, where once the pulse of ma chinery kept life beating fast in a thriving little community. Today the population is scattering and on the farms thereabouts chiefly. while the change in the value of the property is indicated by the story recently re- lated of the sale of a two and a half story house for s175. which was worth $500 seventy-five years ago. But the number of such towns is small Maine is building up fast. Her deserted farms are being taken up. sometimes by industrious young farm CTS and again by summer people. and the deserted Maine villages promise a new lease of life.-Lewiston Jour nal

 IF MONEY. That Leaves Tempe Every
 Summer THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS Tempe Now Offers a Log ical Argument That Much of This Might Be Kept at Home or at Least Within the Territory
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS

R. J. Schweppe returned Thursday evening from a trip to his range near Hillside He reports that in the vicinity of his range there has been abundant rain and in conse- quence the feed is fine and cattle are in splendid shape. Many of them are almost fat now. There has been so much rain that tank on the range. it is really a lake; it is so large. has been filled to overfolw- ing He is planning to construct an other similar tank on another part of the range. a distance of about seven miles.
 While way Mir. Schweppe had oc- casion to spend a day or so in Prescott and he returns more than enthused over the possibilities of that section of the country as a summer resort. He has had good deal of experience in visiting resorts of one kind and another in the east and says that without exception Pre- scott is better place than any of them. The climate is all than any one could desire and the beauty of it is that it is near home. It is his theory that more valley people should spend their summers there instead of the coast. It would be much less expensive and the money that would be spent would be left in the territory and might ultimately find it's way back to the valley. whereas the money spent during the summer in California, ten chances to one will never get back to Arizona.
 This is the same logical argument that is offered in support of Pine air and no one denies but that there is much truth in it. Probably few people fully realize how much money goes out of Tempe during the three or four summer months every year. Speaking on that question yesterday. a man who is in position to have very good idea of the amount of cash that leaves Tempe for Califor- mia every summer, said that he roughly estimated that this summer between seventy-five and hun dred thousand dollars had been taken to California. This. too. he re- gards as conservtive estimate. One of the two banks handed out an average of five thousand dollars week for four successive weeks dur ing the middle of the summer and it is not known how much the other bank turned over for the same pur- pose. How much of this money that is taken to California is brought back by the summer visitor is not known but it is safe bet that a mighty small percentage of it re- turns.
 There probably isn't another town the size of Tempe in the southwest that contributes as much toward the support of southern California in the summer time and while it speaks well for the prosperity of the citizens of this place and the surrounding community, it is something of drain on the town. Imagine how much better off the town would be if part of this money was left at home or if part of it was spent within the bounds of the territory.

STRAY TEAM OF MULES.

Some time during Thursday night team of back mules hitched to a spring wagon strayed in the yard of the Redden ranch and, turning around of their own accord. ran one wheel off the bridge as they were going out of the yard again. They hung up there until discovered by the men on the ranch yesterday morning Aside from a large black dog tied in the rig. the conveyance was unoccupied. The team and the dog were taken care of and the out fit is still at the ranch awaiting the claims of it's owner.

A BRIGHT IDEA.

The head of a certain manufactur ing concern is an old gentleman who built up his business from nothing and by his own dogged and persisten; toll, and who has never felt that he could spare the time for a vacation Not long ago. however, he decided that he was getting along in years, and that he was entitled to a rest. Calling his son into the library, he said:
 Tom, I've worked pretty hard for quite a while now and have done very well, so I have decided to retire and turn the business over to you. What do you say?'
 The young man pondered the situa- ton gravely. Then bright idea seemed to strike him.
 'I say, dad" he suggested. how would it do for you to work few years longer and then the two of us retired together ?"-London Tit-Bits.

ANOTHER CONTRIBUTION.

The Consolidated Telephone and Electric company yesterday puts it's name down on the cement subscrip- ton list for ten dollars. This makes the total amount subscribed just about what is required but as this money will not have to be paid for five or six months and as there is a possibility of firms changing hands between now. and then, it will be just as well to have the subscribed amount exceed little the amount required Consequently if there are any others who feel that they want to subscribe a little toward the good of the cause, the list may be found at the office of A Nielsen x Company.
