OF "B's." lie narrowly escaped being
n beauty with his baby complexion
and innocent blue eyes. His size was
the only thing that saved him from
this terrible fate. Moreover. Blngs
was n bargain fiend. No woman could
scent u bargain sale farther on than
could Billy Blngs. Incidentally Billy

no persuasion ON his part could con.
vince his friend of the absurdlty OF

BIngs' bachelorhOod was n condition
OF neither birth nor nchlevement-it

luton into that state there had been
any one Of n dozen minds nnd widows

happy Ia have endowed with half MS

b%asbfulness. Never yet had he been
able To screw his courage up to the
point Of proposal, though he Ind made
almost superhumnn efforts In that Ill.
rectlon.
This seemed a pity. for Blngs was
undeniably cut out for a benedict. He
thought all m angels and nil ba.

AZ he started uptown on the mo.

half To possess the cherub's pretty,
brown eyed mother. But so far every
glance from Mrs. Jessie Moffat's
rogulsh eyes had produced the unfor-
sis Of poor Blngs' tongue. no that he
could only stand dumb or blush and
stammcr like any silly schoolboy.
This was not the first time by any
means that Blngs had performed that
metaphorical feat. II had been ut least
a semiweckly occurrence for several
months past. Each time Blngs vowed
that the next time he would not act
the fool. Hut he did. lie had reached
the point where the inevitable mental
feat was ~copiously punctuated with a
vigorous ejaculation that would have
shocked the pretty widow had she
heard Il.
Nlngs felt his helplessness bitterly,
So absorbed was he In his thought as
he picked his way along the shady
street that he failed to observe the

district no oranges are imported for he local trade. when the truth is that dozens of boxes of California oranges are sold here every week. Persons with this impression buy California oranges and then complain that the quality of Arizona's fruit is greatly oyerrated
 California citrus fruit Is hardly ripe yet. Tn this valley when an orange Is well colored it is ripe but there it is sometimes a bright yellow for months before it is sweet, like ours are. In another month all California oranges will be as sweet as ours but now most of them are only partially ripened.
 The same applies to tangerines The Salt River Valley tangerine is delicious but those now being shipped out of California are as sour as lem onr
 "A little thing like this will do great deal to injure the orange grow ing industry in this valley and I think all dealers should explain where the fruit they sell is grown. And buy CTS who want nice. sweet oranges should make sure that they get the Arizona grown product. Look on the box"

Plans Being Made for Junior Min

Thespianism has invaded the Phoe- nix high school Actors, actresses and acting are live topics of conver- sation. particularly among the juniors and seniors. for the juniors are plan ming their annual minstrel show. and the seniors are arranging for their annual play
 Neither the minstrel show nor the play will he given before the term is nearly ended. There is plenty of time for preparation. but the high school boys and girls believe in be- ginning early The juniors are think ing up jokes and vaudeville stunts. but SD far the seniors have gone lit tie farther than to arrange for a pancake flip" to raise money to help defray expenses.
 Heretofore each senior class when it gave the annual play. has gone into debt and left it to the next class to settle the bills. The seniors of II intend. however. to disregard that ancient custom. They will pay all bills bequeathed by last years class and will also pay their own expenses.

 YOU BUY ORANGES
Many Purchase California Fruit Un- Grown and are Dis
 appointed.

Look on the box before you buy oranges and don't complain that the Arizona fruit isn't sweet unless you know that what you get didn't come from California"
 This advice was given yesterday by local wholesale fruit dealer who says that a number of people. partic- ularly customers, are purchasing Cal ifornia oranges under the impression that they were grown in the Salt Riv- CT Valley. Finding them sour they come to the conclusion that Arizona oranges have been much overrated and are really no better than any others.
 I don't think any dealers are con sciously deceiving their customers" he went on. The average person stops at a fruit stand and buys or snges without asking where they come from. The box may be sitting right there but nine out of ten will never look to see whether it bears an Arl- zona or California label.
 ''The fact is that many who are not we'll informed have the impression that since this is an orange growing

They have invited all their friends, as well as any one person of good character possessing the necessary small sum to pay admittance, to be at Melczer's hall next Saturday evening at 8 o'clock There will be pancakes and there will also be other things. IL was first planned to have no syrup for the pancakes, as one look at a senior girl ought to satisfy the sac charine taste of any ordinary mortal. but later it was decided to provide sweetening for those whose disposi- tions have become soured.
 Among the other things" will be music and few recitations No senior who can't recite will be per mitted to occupy the floor. but those who can will be forced to do their duty by their class.
 The seniors have not yet decided what play they will pres .nt this year. A number of young men and women belonging to the class have histrionic ability of a high order and there will he no difficulty in organizing an amateur troupe much more clever than the average. A committee has been appointed to write for play manuscripts and catalogues and d selection will be made shortly
 As for the juniors and their min strel show. they haven't much more than begun to plan. but they intend that it shall be just as funny as they can make it. Nearly all the jokes and songs will be wholly original.

Who Are They

by II oittidf
We all have a way of saying they
say" this or that of some person or
some thing and accepting it our
selves as authentic when someone
says they say to us.
But we stopped to inquire into
the exact source of the information,
either we would be unable to trace it
back to anyone other than elusive in
dividuals. ''TLey Say" or we will
find back of it the unkind gossip OF
some enemy
And just because they say fails
to put the blame of a falsehood on
any one persons shoulders it really
is the most dangerous of statements
and one of the hardest to refute.
SO let us beware of believing they
say" stories. Let us treat lightly all
gossip introduced by the words they
say" Or if this gossip makes us sus-
al and human that it should at times
al and huma nthat it should at times
let us suspend judgment until we
KNOW. In other words, let us do the
object of they say the justice to
investigate until we find someone
who is in a position from actual
knowledge and whom we can trust to
make positive statement over his
own name as to the truth or falsity
of the they say story.
The writer has been led to pen
this little lesson in practical fairness
by reading little book issued by the
Coco-Cola Company of Atlanta, Ga,
entitled THE Truth About Coco-Co-
la. That truly delicious and whole
some beverage has for 50 long been
the subject of they say" stories in
which all manner of untrue and det-
rimental things about Coca-Cola
have been circulated that the manu-
facturers have been forced to issue
heir book giving authentic inform
ton about this beverage. And the in
formation therein contained does not
rest its case on any they say state
ments, but bases its arguments on
analysis and statements of chemists
and scientists occupying the highest
positions in America.
This is the most interesting book
"a fine study in dignity in refuting
talsehoods-an a book of informa-
ton that all should read. You will
find it well worth your while to
write and ask the Coco-Cola COM
pany, Atlanta, Ga, to send you
free copy. ca
