SUCCESS IN LIFE

Rev. Geo o. Nichols, pastor OF the
First Presbyterian church, preached
the first of a series of sermons on
Success in Life" to large and ap-
preciatiye congregation last night.
The subject of this first sermon was
Success He had responses from
large number of business and pro-
fessonal men OF this city who had
replied to a series OF questions sub
mitted to them by men of the church.
These men had gathered up the re-
plies and turned them over to Mr..
Nichols, who summarized the qualifi-
cations for success as these were
named by the men to whom the queS
tions were submitted. These replies
showed that in the estimation of our
successful men almost all the ele
ments essential TO success are under
the control of the individual and are
not the accidents of birth or position.
He will preach the second sermon
in tho series next Sunday evening.
The subject as announced will be
Failure" and doubtless those who
heard the first will desire to hear
this second one also.

Oklahoma City, oct. 2S-The open
ing Of the last week of the capital
campaign finds Oklahoma city rap.
idly losing ground as capital con
tender The progress made by Guth-
rie the past three or four weeks has
been amazing Oklahoma City's cam
paign has been based on Oklahoma
City as a city and lies about Guthrie
while Guthrie has appealed to the
state, in the interests Of The state
offering a free capitol as against the
frumpery advanced by the Blowers.
The inconsistency of the Oklahoma
City committee is seen in the rot sent
out pertaining to capital park at
Guthrie
Three weeks ago, the Oklahoma
City committee charged that the Guth-
rie capital park was yalueless; a week
later, that the park was owned by
the state; on Sunday it claimed that
the capital park was owned by the
government and that Guthrie had no
title.
Guthrie quickly nipped this lie

ONE GREAT ADVANTAGE.
A Bachelor Is Free to Get Married if
 He Desires.

The advantage of being a bachelor are so many that their mere number Is cOnfusing While one is loling around in the midst of them, so to speak. this confusion may be disastrous, for it is just in these moments that one is most likely to fall in love with some ono. Let us, therefore, dwell on only one advantage as being paramount to all of the others.
 This advantage then, is that a bach e1or is always free to marry if ne wants to. Think of it! There is no other con- ditiOn like it!
 For example, if you are once married, you are then not free to marry again when you want to. To do this you
 must go to your wife and explain the
 matter and get her consent. You can ] do nothing without her cooperation
 Now, it is by no means easy in these days to get an appointment with ones wife. The object must first be fully l explained beforehand or she will have 1 none of you.
 With . bachelor, however, no diff | fulty presents itself At any moment
 he has only to say to himself, T be- | lieve I will get married" and the thing 1 is as good as done.
 | Not that he is compelled to avail himself of the opportunity. Of course not. The idea of any kind of freedom | is never to avail ones self of it. The
 great advantage is that it is always 1 there. We never draw upon it. It
 does us no intrinsic good. It is just | there.
 And so for a bachelor, "being mar ried" is always just there" He con
 templates it with satisfaction. He can i do it if he wants to. Therein lies his supreme strength. To avail himself of | the opportunity is. of course, to take | away his own freedom.

COTTON MAKES
 FINE SHOWING
Madison Improvement Club and Hay Balers' Literary
 Society Add Strength to
 the Social Uplift; Hoel- sher's Orchard Enterprise

MADISON DISTRICT, July 24.- The cotton which Superintendent Goodman had planted on his farm east of the Indian school on the Park road is doing fine The cotton is beginning to bloom and the leaves and stems are in better condition than any previous crop with which the Indian school authorities have eX- perimented. The ground was ploWed several times before the crop was planted and was also irrigated just before the furrOWS were thrown open for planting and it was not irrigated after planting until the ground seemed to be quite dry. If the stalks bear as well as the present indications show this will be a record breaker.
 That the good work of the Madison Improvement club is not only con fined to Madison district but to the entire valley and to many parts of the state was proven when Mrs. Guiles delivered a very interesting lecture to the farmers of the valley last Saturday at the city hall in Phoe- nix
 The apricot season is now over on the A G. Bailey ranch and the entire time is now devoted to the care and preparation for another crop next year. The past crop has been one of the largest ever picked in the valley, and care will be given the trees to have another one like it next year.
 C. B. King is getting his orange grove and olive orchard in fine con- dition. The olives have been pruned by an expert from California. MT HOelSher is a true type of the pro- gressive farmer and. says he will show the farmers of this valley what can be done if brains are used half as much as muscle.
 The sermon preached last Sunday night at the school house was listened to by a large congregation. Next Sunday night the meetings will be conducted by Rev. SeveringhOuse. All are cordially invited every Sunday night. Several prominent speakers have held meetings here in the past and many more will in the future.
 The latest society is the Balers Literary club, which was organized last Tuesday evening. The members are principally of this district, but there are a few outsiders. The man purpose of the club is to elevate the moral and religious standard of the DeoDle The president, Jacob kleck delivered a very impressive lecture on woman suffrage, Ernest RardeI being master of ceremonies.

 LITERATURE
Article on Salt River Val ley Irrigation Project From Pen of Harry Welch Will Appear in Pan American Progress

Page proofs of an article of Op- timism by Harry Welch for the Pan American Progress, a Los Angeles magazine have been received at the board of trade
 The write up will fill about ten pages together with cuts. And it surely is right there with the enthu- siasm. The author is in position to know all about the subject of the ir- rigation system of the valley. and the information is transferred in a style that makes it at once good reading and a source of interest and pleasure
 Starting with a description of the erection of the dam. the story re counts the methods of construction frcm the survey to the final touches l. recOunts the making and operation of the canals. power house and sta ttcns. The how and why of all the little interesting points in the work are explained in a breezy manner that conveys solid facts.
 A good deal of space is devoted tC a description of the soils and theil workings in the valley. Comparisons are drawn between Salt River val ley ground and that of other regions notably, the Mississippi basin and the Imperial valley of California

Project Engineer Fitch Re turned From There Yes terday Having Spent the Whole Day on the Road; No Serious Washouts

It was cloudy and rainy all day cipitation was not great. Incidentally it was cool, just as Phoenix sum mer weather has been this year, nearly all the time But it appears that there was more rain east of the valley in the Superstition mountains tran fell this side of there and so far as indicated by reports it was more or less general all over the central part of the state
 Project Engineer Fitch who went to Roosevelt Tuesday, returned last evening after a somewhat eVentful trip. He says the reports of wash outs on the Roosevelt road on Tues day, Were. in error but that there was plenty doing yesterday he can testify to.
