Say Have You Done Lost That There Left Hind
 Rabbits Foot

We went to a show once and heard a man with a medieval costume and heavy voice de- claim that "the evening sun shines golden on the towers and temples of ancient Syracuse the populace is gathered but Damon cometh not to redeem his fri end"
 Thus also the setting sun cast golden rays on the roofs of Hol- brook and the populace had gat- hered and gazed with envious eyes toward the reflected and lengthening shadows of Five Mile" and conversed loudly and curiously. No, it was not a flashing horseman that they watched for, but a party of autoists pleasure bound for Snow flake and those who stayed be- hind were jealous positively green.
 That adorable Robbie Burns stated that plans of men and mice aft gang aglee." That's what happened in this case. There was Jonah in that bunch had there been sufficient water near by the whale story would have been repeated. Do you know that though the moon was full and silvery and the breeze such as to make one sigh, there was one in that party who for got his rabbits foot and thus Jonahed the whole crowd. Can you think of anything more ap- palingl Just imagine what might happenedI Aren't we pleased nothing but delays did happen? Just think what that Jonah might have caused! ''Who?" Look here. we are telling the story and if you can't control your curiosity go ask someone else.

CASA GRANDE
 COMES ID LIFE
Ted Healy Gave a Signal That Aroused the Popu- lace From Its Rip Van Wrinkle Sleep; He Met a Live Wire

There IS lot of good boost in-
 stinct in every community if only the
 right person happens along to arouse
 It. Boosting is very much like dyna-
 mite. It does not successfully and
 effectively explode until some one
 fires the cap. All of which is nicely
 illustrated in an incident that oc-
 cured in Casa Grande a day or two
 ago.
 Ted HeaIy who has been doing
 southern Arizona towns on a business
 trip, drifted into Casa Grande Be
 ing a stranger in the village he could
 note the importance of little things
 that the home folks knew all about
 but never appreciated and he made
 bold to say so, thereby starting some
 thing. A little group of the towns
 people chanced to be standing near
 him when he observed loudly enough
 to be overheard that here was nice little community overlooking big bet
 Eight Southern Pacific passenger trains pass through that village daily, four of them in daylight They carry approximately 300 people each or to be conservative, the four daylight trains carry 1000 people every day. Most of these traVeles are strangers who never heard of Casa Grande in their lives. Looking out fram the car windows they can see nothing to indicate the surrounding resources, except perhaps farm or two. The only thing that greets the eye is the depot sign board and a few others suggestive that general merchandise and booze may be secured inside if ! one has money to spend.
 Ted asked why there was not a big sign board standing near the de- pot and alongside the track, annOunc- l ing that the railroad station was the natural gateway to a valley of over 1 q million acres of the finest land in the world: that ample water could be | secured by pumping from 20 to 50 1 feet; that a big irrigation system is now in course of construction: that l the climate is unsurpassed: that there l is plenty of land at cheap prices and that the Casa Grande valley affords l the finest opportunities for indus 1 trious enterprising men.

ADJUSTMENTS
THE WlGWAM

Genuine Arizona pictures, taken at Douglas by the famous Lubin com pany were shown for the first time at the Wigwam last night and will he repeated for the last time tonight. United States troops now stationed on the border appear in the pictures, the scenes are natural, and all in all the film. Captain Kings Rescue is one of the best ever seen in this city.
 In Captain Kings Rescue" two troops of United States soldiers in command of Captain King are order ed 10 Douglas. Ariz, on the Mexican border As they approach the town the captain halts his command and goes to d ranch house seeking direc lions He finds standing at the gate the ranch owner. his wife and daugh ter. girl of IS, and young sur veyor in love with the girl The cap tain writes the family to visit their camp which they do and he quickly succumbs to the charms of the girl Later the captain rescues a young Indian being ill treated by a Mexican named Pedro The ranch owner or ders Pedro from the place. The Mex ican waylays the captain and knocks him SenSeleSS. He then proceed to the ranch and finds Pearl alone. The Indian witnesses all this and quickly gets aid from the camp. The sol diers arrive on the scene, find the captain. and rescue Pearl from the hands of the Mexican.

utilized elsewhere and that it had actually been talked about in Casa Grande. But on this occasion it chanced that the right man over heard Teds remarks He formulated a subscription list and got busy. In two hours he had raised $2O0 and be- fore Healy left town a contract had been let for erecting such a sign board and the citizens were busy de- vising the legend they should put upon it. It starts out by saying: Population of Casa Grande in 1915 will be 25,000." Then it recites all that Healy had mentioned and a great many other things, closing by saying. Cal on or address the secretary of the Casa Grande board of trade"
 The Republican believes in news paper advertising and so do other people who are successful and modern in their business methods, but there are also other proper means of pu- blicity. In this instance Casa Grande for $200 can get one throw at at tracing the attention of 365 000 peo- pie year and that is at least d good gamblers chance.
 Healy says there is now consider able activity in that section and strangers are coming in almost daily. Many are buying land or buying re- linquishments preparatory to making new filings There is a good force of men and teams at work on the new dam for the diversion of water from the Gila and all that valley needs is advertising and proper ex- ploitatiOn. .
