SUNFLoWER SEEDS AS FEED

The fact that sunfiower seeds make

make we'll balanced ration These
flowers grow well upon all irrigated
tracts. The growth is very rapid and
the large broad leaves afford excellent
shade for the young chicks. 1t is al

SO that they can be conveniently used

the shade afforded Is very valuable.

the heads as possible. The heads are
conveniently fed whole, especially
during the winter months. When fed
in this way it will be found that the
seeds are relished by the fowls.
When the poultry is molting there

EXCELLENT BREEDS FOR EGGS
Leghorns, Minorcas, Andausians,
Houdans and Hamburgs Will Prove
Profitable on Any Farm.

If eggs alone are wanted. 1t will be
best to keep only non-sitting breeds,
OF which Leghorns. Minorcas, Andalu-
SLAMS, Houdans, or Hamburgs will do
well on the farm. If necessary, the
eggs may be hatched in incubators,
which, in careful hands, now do good
work; or few may also be kept of
some sitting breed. Pure bred fowls,
useless for showing. can usually be
obtained at a low price; and after all

George F. Mum. who for the past year has been advertising diligently for a helpmeet. is about to be ac- commodated. MT. Nunn a year and "a half ago took up a homestead southeast of Mesa and nearly directly east of the Chandler ranch He be- gan clearing his land and kept ac- lively engaged but a feeling of lone Illness came over him and he deter mined to seek a life partner to share his future.
 Nunn after furnishing his little home with such necessary articles as would bring comfort made it gener- ally known that he was willing to support and cherish a wife as long as he should have breath left in his mortal body. or words to that same and sentimental effect. But there were no soul-mates for George
 Then he became desperate and flew to the advertising columns of a pa- per devoted to the accommodation of those matrimonially inclined At last his ambition was realized for there has come a letter to Mir Nunn from far off Pennsylvania from Miss Ethel Lewis and she states therein that she is ready and willing to share the future happiness with a man whose description reads like that sent her by the lonely homesteader.
 Miss Lewis gives her weight as 19! while Mir. Nunn has to jump up and down on the scales to raise l25. but where there is love little else in the world matters and Nunn is responsi- ble for the statement that already he has begun to feel that fermenting feeling in the vicinity of his shirt bosom which cannot be anything else in this world but true undying love for the woman who says she knows she can be true to him

TEMPE
ANNUAL YAQU| DANCE
 ATTRACT BIG CROWD
Curious Ancient Custom Accords With Indians Religious Beliefs
 Dance Lasts All Night.

4 large per cent of the population of Tempe attended the annual Yaqui dance at Guadalupe. four miles south west of town. Saturday night Every mode of travel, with the probable exception of the aerOplane was rep resented and one of the largest crowds that has been seen for a long time in this vicinity was pres ent. A number walked. but prob ably a greater number walked back on account Of getting left.
 The preliminaries Of the dance were held Saturday morning at the church about a mile northeast of the village. This was what might be termed a gun salute. In the evening the real dance was started at the church after which all went to the village where it was continued all night. In one brush hut three dancers kept time to the drum. In another hut a party of twelve went through a different formula, which lasted about two hours at a time. It is understood that these dances are strictly in accordance with their re- ligiOus beliefs. and are not as many suppose an occasion of joyful amuse- ment.

 My Dear Mir Falk-
 How can we thank you enough for the wonderful privilege and pleasure you have given us? l scarcely know how to begin to tell you of the joys of last nights concert. It was a triumph for your artist brother. and, incidentally for the Music club.
 Mir. Falk more than surpassed our expectations-a thousand times. From the opening notes of the Andantino to the closing measures of that mag nificent Saint Saens nuDber. he had the audience at his feet Personally. have never heard an artist who was as 'soul-satisfying" in his play ing, as he was He had to repeat the ''Vaggsang''-and such a gem as it is,-and besides this, gave

ADJUSTMENTS
THE COLISEUM.

It could not have been because there was nowhere else to go. for the town was full of Easter services and fine musical entertainments, so it must have been the program; but whatever the reason. the Coliseum theater had two big houses last night, the building being taxed to the standing room limit at the first per formance. High class vaudeville at tracts the crowd these days and the Coliseum is the place to find it. The two Little Johns were again a center of attraction in their feats of jug gling while poised on rolling balls in mid stage and the Joers were great in their number The Sweet Singer and the Count" Van and Livingston iE German comedy singing and dancing are in high favor and the photo plays as good as ever. There will be another chance this evening to see this excellent bill.

The cecClations were exceedingly attrac- tive and reflected great credit to the efforts of the committee in charge of that feature; the success of the de- coratinG committee may be largely aitribrteo to the most generous and energetic assistance of Mrs. Katherine Reagan for which the club members are deeply indebted. At the north Snd Of the hall on the right of the entrance a most attractive cosy corner" decorated with numerous college banners contributed by club members, green boughs and cactus was a favorite retreat with its com fortable couches and rugs. At the south end of the hall the refreshment table was attractively arranged with
 
 which there was a large cut glass punch bowl from which the most de- lightful refreshments were served all through the evening. Festivities begun promptly at nine with the grand march led by President Nels Johnson of the club and Miss Lillie Beebe, at midnight there was an in- remission for more substantial re- treatments in the form of sandwiches and coffee. These sandwiches were of a particularly palatable nature and were the product of thte personal efforts of John Hancock Of the re- freshment committee. There were several hundred people in attendance among whom were representatives of the towns of Ray. Kelvin and Wink elman. The club members put forth their best efforts to insure a good time for everybody and. to all ap- pearances met with notable success.
 Dr. J. F. Crawford and mining en- gineer Ralph C. Rowland kof Ray were in Hayden Saturday evening having motored over to attend the Nocyar club dance. They returned Sunday
