FORMAL OPENING
 OF THE LESUEUR STORE
Business House Furnished in Name, Usually Found Only in the
 Largest Cities.

The formal opening of the LeSueur X company grocery store took place yesterday. For several dave an army of clerks and decorators had been busy filling the shelves and sanitary glass receptacles with the great variety of edibles kept in first class establish ments, and yesterday morning when the screens were drawn from the show windows, a beautiful scene was dis closed to the many people gathered in front of the store The artist who decorated the windows was an expert in his line and the same taste was dis played throughout the entire interior of the store room
 There is ample floor space and the fixtures are all of the latest models. Glass cases contain vegetables and bottled goods; sugars and bulk cereals, all fly proof. or as nearly fly proof as any receptacle that has O be ire quently opened can be made The shelving along the side walls are filled with canned goods. and the vegetable stands covered with everything in the line of garden truck.
 The bookkeepers and cashiers are partitioned off from the clerks and have offices fitted with every modern improvement Cash carriers connect the cashiers window with every de- partment where there is a sales clerk. In the rear is storage room for temporary use and an elevator by which goods can be lowered and raised from the immense basement when nec- essary. In every particular the Messrs. Les ueur have a madern store and are de- serving of credit for their enterprise. Few stores, if any outside the big es- tablishments in Los Angeles, in the southwest can compare with Mesa's new grocery.
 The moral to this is, that Mesa mer- chants are enterprising and that the town is taking on a substantial growth tht is keeping pace with the settlement of the new lands in this vicinity and the increased volume of business.

 of seven feet deep and five feet wide
 will be made for the pipe.
 Some time this week operations
 will be started on the laying of the
 Hume. the most difficult part of the
 job. Still that being the business of
 or the contractors, they have it down to such a system that it is not hard
 for them The iron forms. four feet and six inches in diameter. are pri- marily placed in the trench and then filled with the concrete. making it from one end to the other a cOntin uous pipe without so much as one joint in it. This feature alone. com bined with the fact that an iron band is to be placed around the Hume, gives promise that no leaks or breaks will be experienced once il is placed in permanent use.
 The necessity for the construction i of this Hume is brought about by the i 40-foot higher elevation which is en- | countered to place the water at d 1 sufficient height to make it of prac- 1 tfcal use. Pumps to be installed by | the government at the head of the 1 Hume will be used as power.
 | MT. Gillas states. at the present 1 time that unless some expected delay occurs their part of the job will be i completed within the next 60 days. | Consequently, from all appearances, l the homesteaders' district will re- ! ceive irrigation water in ample time l for the cultivation of their spring and l winter crops. These hopes are main ! tainad by all the landowners under 1 the new project as well as Every | body in general on the sOuthsde who 1 have any interest in the cultivation of 20O0 more acres of land which will be included in this section.

Uses Of the SunfIoWer.

There are more than forty different
species of sunfower scattered from
New England to the Gulf of Mexico
and from ocean to ocean. Generally
the plant is not esteemed, but it has
many valuable uses. Many OF our In
dams make bread of the seeds. 1t
Is cultivated in the south of Europe
sometimes as a field crop, the seeds
being used as food for cattle and poul-
try and also for making oil of quail
ity little inferior to olive oil. 1t is
burned in lamps and used in the manu-
facture of soap. Meal and bread are
said to be got from the seeds in Por.
tugal. and these, roasted, are often
substituted for coffee. The seeds are
also used, like almonds, for making
soothing emulsions, and in some parts
OF the old world are boiled and fed 10
infants. The leaves are good fodder
for cattle: the stems serve for fuel
and contain much potash.-Harper' 8

The action of the bacteria appears to

The Simple Life.

The charm of the bungalow is not
In the main due to its little cost or to
convenience of its plan or to its ar.
tistic exterior, but to the fact that
there is great proportion of the
American people who desire to live
more simply and with less convention
than they find necessary in the typical
suburban community. says writer in
Leslie's. There is probably no one of
Us who does not occasionally long for
a place in which he can wear his old
clothes with comfort, and bring up his
children in the simple and natural way
impossible in the city and difficult in
the suburbs, and t is to this vague
longing for a simpler and less artificial
life that the great popularity OF the
little, rough.built houses we call bun
galows Is due.
