Every woman lnherlts certain ways OF
doing homework from her mother as the
mother did from her grandmother. One
of these ideas from ancient times concerns
the washing Of clothes. 'Boil EN-, Boil
EN- good, - is the old tradition. Until the
invention Of Fcls-Naptha soap that was the
only way to wash. Now, isn't it foolish
to keep on boiling clothes, and rubbing
them hard, when way to wash better in
cold or lukewarm water with no hard rub
bing has been found?
Clothes last longer with no boiling to
weaken their fibre. Every progressive
woman is glad to get rid of the hot FIRE,
steam and suds, as we'll as the back-break-
ing work Of hard rubbing.
But there's right way and a wrong
way to use Fels- Naptha. Start right. Fol-
low the directions on the wrapper and
you II have better, easier, cleaner way of
washing. For other reasons which are ex-
planned on the red and green wrapper,
Fels-Naptha is just as superior for all Htch-
en- purposes as it is for washing.

APPEAL TO PROTECT
THE BOB WHITES

TO the sportsmen, farmers and all
citizens Of West Virginia:
desire TO appeal TO you all, to
help protect the bon white" through
the winter months.
The past two weeks of cold wealth
err, with the ground covered with
crusted snow, makes It very difficult
for these birds to procure food and
shelter. An old brush heap or fodder
shock, will afford sufficient shelter.
and IL you will throw few hands full
OF buckwheat or other small grain,
in their roosting place, it will save
them from starvation.
Data collected from every county
IN the state, proves that we have five
times as many birds as we have had
at any one time, during the past
twenty years. In two years more, at
The present rate Of increase. West
Virginia will have more of these birds.
than any state in the Union-if we
can protect them through the winter.
Many states have appropriated
money to enable their game depart
ment to assist in this work, but un.
I'll this is done by our own State.
we must depend upon the people to
do this work-from an esthetic and
humanitarian standpoint.

hear the whir of this little creatures

COOPERATION IS ESSENTIAL Owners of Lands South
 Of Town SUBURBAN LINE IN SIGHT It Can Be Secured If the People Want It and Will Work Together - Com mittee Already At Work On Matter
SUBURBAN LINE IN SIGHT

Through a maze of details includ ing numerous obstacles. some larg,
 and some small, has come the assur-
 ance that the proper cooperation oi the residents of the district lying Soutf
 of Mesa will bring to them a distinc-
 tive feature which will place this tho
 upper end of the Salt River Valley 1 in line for the great things to which 1 it has aspired-an electric car line 1 for the city and also interurban i Heretofore the primary object has
 been in discussing the merits of he valley as a whole, and in the bring | ing to the valley of eastern and north | ern people. The issue now is slowly | resolving itself more into a local one Glendale is proud of its soil, Buckeye i elaborates on its alfalfa, Phoenix on it's railroad facilities and its county and territorial buildings, Tempe upcn its educational facilities, and Mesa has more or less attempted to let the out side world understand that this was the natural home of the cantaloupe and the grape. Buckeye, with its railroad, will proclaim that feature in connection with it's lower priced lands.
 
 ent from other lands of the valley and doubtless some settlers will be at tracted by it. In the event that the Mesa electric car line is built, that will be our feature standing out more probably, than our alfalfa fields and cantaloupe returns. The carline rep resents the fact that without the country back of it the line would never have been built.
 Cooperation solves the problem of obtaining a carline for Mesa. Dr. Chandler, who is behind the propOsi- ton, is asking no bonus for the building of the line; he is simply ask ing for right of way. There is not an acre of land along the entire sur vey that will not be increased in value fifty dollars by reason of :he line.
 The meeting of a number of tine landowners along the propose1 line was called for Monday evening and committee named by them. consisting of the following well known citi- Zens: Charles Bauer. c. w. Da- visson, Dr Palmer, Phil Nets and Dan MahOney. The securing of the right of way is in the hands of these men. They realize the importance of the line, not only the increased value of the land by reason of the line. but also the untold advantages that would re- suit to the town.
 The proposition that will be asked is for a right of way fOrty-six feet in width for the tracks and turn -outs with provision for double track later on. In addition to this, a thirty foot strip on either side of the right of way will be asked. which will be made itno a boulevard with rows of trees planted at its outside borders
Arizona republican., 1910-07-06
MESA DEPARTMEMT
CHAs. z. JONES,
 Manager

The purpose of the boulevard is so that no property may front on the carline, but rather on the boulevard. The plans of the making of the road way will be placed in the hands of an association, which will have for its object the development of the bou- levard There is no doubt but what the maintaining of a boulevard will further increase the value of the lands along the carline.
 The survey provides for a road ap- proximately fifteen miles in length. The road. upon leaving the city limits at the south end of Macdonald street. bears diagonally to the southwest. striking the Cuber street road at a point near the Mcqueen section. The line will continue south along a straight line on this roadway until a point near the base line, when it will again bear gradually to the southwest for the purpose of following the jog in the base line without making sharp turns. The line. upon leaving the base line will continue due south to the center of the Mesa Improvement Companys number of ranches In the line building it has been kept in mind that there is not a curve out side of the city limits that cannot be taken at a speed of forty miles per hour.
 In the making of the survey, pr. Chandler has had on the force one of the civil engineers who has been identified with the running of practi- cally all of the surveys in the South ern California section. It was upon his suggestion that the sharp curves were dispensed with.
 The arguments are many that can be offered for the successful termi- nation of the Mesa street car system Not only do interurban car lines show enterprise, but the locating of one line means more to follow There are many sections throughout the east where communities are no more thick ly settled than around Mesa, where the residents are enjoying interurban service. As a steam road is the de- veloper of counties and states, so is the electric road the developer of communities and neighbOrhOods.

FEW ARRESTS WERE
 MADE HERE ON 4TH
But Three Victims Answered to Roll
 Call Yesterday Morning.

Taking into consideration the amount of liquid refreshment that was con sumed here on Monday. the order dur ing the day vas unusually good. The sum total of the days arrests figured three. These three appeared before Judge Carr yesterday morning and were given nominal fines Two paid and one went to jail.
 The officers are entitled to a good deal of credit for the manner in which they handled the crowd of course, it would have been possible during the day to have made a good many more arrests, but it was the officers inten- tiOn to keep order and not fill the jail. Whenever a couple of people got into an altercation they were sep arated instead of being arrested. Each was then sent on his way instead of being landed in jail. The officers did not make practice of going, into the saloons. after trunks. As long as a man remained inside it was left to the saloonkeeper to keep order.
 There were. of course, a few minor scraps, but these were expected and, taking everything into consideration, the day passed off in nice shape

l.. H Smith returned to Tempe yes terday after an absence of three months almost to the day. He has spent most of his time while away at Oak Harbor, Washington, where he has extensive property interests. It him to Washington. He desired to dispose of all or a part of it and had his mind set on a certain price for tht whole. Upon arriving there he learned that values had gone up con siderably and he changed his mind about dlspOsing of all of it. What he really did was to sell a third, and
 upon this he realized within five
 hundred dollars of what he had fig
 ured the whole would bring him.
 Land values in that section are high
 CT than they are here, and in the
 Yakima valley Mir Smith says they are out of sight. He called on Greeley
 Saylor, formerly of this place. who is now in that section and is doing we'll Land there is worth anywhere from three hundred dollars per acre to as many thousand. Land there will produce what the average acre here will, sells readily at three hun dred an acre, says MT. Smith. That fact brings him to the conclusion that valley lands here will be much higher in the not far distant future than they are now, for the conditions are sim liar.
 The weather there at this season of the year is delightful and yesterday was the first day in three months time that MT Smith did not wear coat. On his way south he came by boat from Seattle to San Francisco. and stopped over a day or so in Los An geles and other southern California towns While there he ran across a good many Tempe people who are summering there.
