WESTON BREAD STAYS FRESH
AND MOIST MUCH LONGER
THAN ANY OTHER

Have you had trouble in Keeping
your bread from drying out and get
ting hard, since this dry weather is
here?
That is one of the points where
Weston Bread excels at all times. 1t
is made to stay moist and fresh. Our
raising process retains a very large
per cent of the Gluten which is the
very life of the wheat and the food
value of the bread. At the same time,
without affecting it's lightness, gives
the loaf a moist, creamy body which
does not dry out quickly even after
you have cut part of the loaf away.
Don't bake at home this hot wealth
er or any time; it really doesn't pay
when you consider cost of fuel, ma
terials and your work. Weston Bread
is the best bakers bread you ever
ate. Try a loaf today.

TEMPE
RIGS MET IN STREET
 BOTH BADLY SMASHED
But the Occupants Al, Escaped With
 out Serious Injury.

There was smash-up of rather peculiar nature on Tempe's streets
 carly Saturday evening. just in front Of the carnival grounds. Though two rigs were pretty badly damaged. one horse stripped of it's harness. the four occupants of the two rigs were not badly hurt. Those concerned in the incident were Dr. B B. Moeur and one of the stable men from Bucks stables. with the doctors rig. going south. and a young man and young lady from the Petersen ranch coming north
 The street was pretty well lighted right where the accident occurred but the glare of an auto light blind ed one or both of the drivers, per haps. At any rate, neither saw the other. until the two conveyances came together with a crash. The rig from the country was the worst damaged one front wheel being practically de moliShed. Dr. Moeur was jerkcd out over the dash board but hung onto the lines and after he got to his feet found that while he still had the reins in his hands, the horse was up the street in front of Birchett's store wearing only the thrOatlatch and the browband of the bridle. Every other portion of the harness had been lost in the scuffle. Taxing stock of dam age. the four parties found that no one was hurt. though the doctor was walking a little stiff yesterday as result of the unexpected jar and has d rather sore toe.

THE MOTHER OF GARFIELD

on March f, 1881. when James Abram Garfield was inaugurated president of the United States. his mother. Mrs. Eliza Garfield. was present at the ceremony. She had ridden to the capitol with her daugh- ter-in-law. and sat during the cere- monies of the inauguration. When the oath of office had been admin lstered, and President Garfield had reverently kissed the Bible and seal ed his compact with the nation to rightly administer it's law for the term for which he was chosen. when Thousands of eyes rested upon him to see the next act in the drama be- ing enacted. in the presence of the foreign dignitaries and leading men of the country. he turned to his aged mother. who had been unconsciously weeping during the delivery of his address, and kissed her. then he kissed his wffe-the two persons of all the world most interested with him in the events they had witness cd.
 The act. the most unexpected at that moment. called forth cheers from the multitude who witnessed it. and the one incident of the inauguration which was most impressed upon all who saw It. was the tribute paid to his mother and wife by the president. Wherever the soldiers wandered in

The rancher said he found them roaming the desert near his place three or four days ago, took them up and brought them to Phoenix as soon as he could learn where they belonged.
 IL will be remembered that on the night of the 9th an effort was made tO crack the safe in the Bank EN- charge saloon in this city and a safe in Mesa City was robbed. By coincidence it was suspected at the time that the cracksmen had stolen these' horses, in view of the fact that they had been rented that evening by young chap who said he only wanted them for two or three hours and who has never been seen here since. The placed of their finding suggests that the suspicion was right that the burglars had ridden thc horses from the Mesa section to the mann line ot the Southern Pacific turned them loose. and they were working their way back when found

Washington during that day. wherever l the Eews was flashed over the wires to the distant sections of our own country or 10 foreign lands was | heard this sentence: The president kissed his mother"
 Widow Garfield was welcomed to the White House by the nation. The first mother of president who had ever occupied the presidential mansion with her son. she was look ed upon as the only guest of the kind the country had ever known. and she was the most popular woman in the land immediately. All the fn- cidcnts of her widowed life in Ohio were told and retold in the newspa- pers. and Mother Garfield" was of more interest. if not more importance, than her son.
 Mrs. Garfield was d descendant of the HuguenotS. and her ancestor. Maturin Ballou. settled in Cumber- land. R. L, after the revocation of the edlct of Nantes Abram Garfield. the father of the president. under fairer circumstances. might have made great career. The hardships of his life and little family drove all thoughts of personal advancement from him, and he worked day by day to make them a home He died when his fourth child was a little babe. and left home which his faithful wife. by herculean effort. was able to keep and remain clear of debt.
 Mrs. Garfield was a devout mem Der of the Society of Disciples. and she instructed her children syste- matically in Bible study She was a pioneer reformer. and her children were zealously taught temperance. love of liberty and loyalty to their government
 Mother Garfield lived to see her two daughters settled in life, her cld- est son a highly respected citizen and her youngest son to pass from college to the church, to the halls of legislation and to the army. He was spared tO return to her after the war. and was sent to congress. When he was nominated for the pres idency in 1880 Mrs. Garfield came into greater prominence, and her brave life was familiar story in all parts of the country.
 Eventually came that terrible July morning when President Garfield was assassinated. As the telegram was read to her at the home of her daughter in ohio. her only remark was: How could anybody be so cold hearted as to want to kill my baby?'' The man at the head of the nation was still her baby. the youngest of her children, and she was growing old.
 When the president died she did not fail of courage. She went to Cleveland to meet the funeral cor tege. and was there joined by her eldest son. who. as in the days of his youth. threw the loving arms of pro- tection around her and tried to soothe her.
 Mother Garfield had left her son in Washington in the best of health. Now she was beside the coffin which held all that remained of him. The mother rose at the conclusion of the service, walked to the head of the caskct, where she covered her face in her hands and stood bowed in grief. The thousands who observed her wept from sympathy with her

 At the Baptist church the program was carried out as published in The Republican Saturday morning. The singing was especially attractive
 At the Christian church the pro- gram vas excellent The distribu- tion of gifts was one of the features that pleased the children. The spc- oial Christmas music rendered by the choir was far superior to the general run of music given at these enter tainments. one feature of the pro- gram was especially amusing, It was a little play given by Mrs. l.. w Stillwell's Sunday school class. and was entitled "A Substitute for santa Claus" Edwin Coffin played the part of Santa Claus He was laid up by lame leg and could not deliver his presents in person. hence he dele gated Akman Mccullough to act in his place. The members of the class represented various prominent people tO whom the presents were to be de llvered. The substitute got things badly mixed. and when the presents were opened it was found that an old bachelor had received a lady's night cap and a maiden lady has as her Christmas present a shaving set Other equally embarrassing mistakes were made by the substitute. The little play was very well acted by the children of the class and created q great deal Of amusement for the audience.
