tho public and the press. This year the
strenuous rivalry that has heretofore char
acterzed the shows Is missing Patent
suits have passed into oblivion and the
only reason that two shows are to be held
is that no building In New York Is large
enough TO accommodate all OF the manu-
facturers.
Many thousands OF persons will obtain
during the week their first glimpse Of the
new Grand Central Palace. To those who
still have the old building OF the same name
in mind the new structure will prove a
revelation. II Is located two blocks north
OF the old Palace. at Lexington avenue and
46th street The new Palace has more floor
space than any other building In the city.
In consequence OF this the management has
been able TO provide space for both passcn-
ger and commercial vehicles. this being the
first time this has been possible In any
American show.

PIERCE-ARROWS AT GARDEN

Years of Production.

This IS the sixth year the output OF the
pierce-Arrow Motor Car Company has
enabled that concern 20 exhibit six cylinder
cars at the Madison Square Garden show
The first six-cylinder Pierce-Arrow model
was a car manufactured for the 1907 sell
ing season, and deliveries were made In the
latter part OF 1906. Seasoned Glidden tour
lists will remember that one OF the expert
mental Perce-Arrow skies was used as a
press and official car in the 1896 Glidden
tour. which began at Buffalo and went into
Canada. For the last three seasons the
Plerce-Arrow company has exhibited six
cylinder cars exclusively at Madison
Square Garden. its passenger car output
having been confined 10 that type.
In various combinations Of It's three

CHORUS GIRL CONTEST.

At the Empress theater Wednes- day night as scheduled following the play. The first prize was awarded Miss Teddy Blair who sang the "Caro- lima Rag and did some fancy raging. Dressed ill a short black coat and white Tam O'Shanter she looked pretty enough to eat. Miss Blair dances at the left end of the line of the ballet. Second money went to Miss Jeanne Clark who sang Honey Bunch" Miss Clark is the cunning little fat one at the right end of the line. Miss Jessie Nores captured third place with her song Beautiful Lady" and received bouquet of roses from an admirer in the audience She is the girl with the blonde hair and the wide smile who dances like mad.
 It looked during the performance as if the premium would go to Miss Isabel Williams whose feat showed more clev- erness and originality than any of the others. She burlesqued a bull fighter and Spanish dance. Miss Irene smith who sang "They Always Pick on Me" had cute song and makeup, but she is altogether pretty to Jisfigure her self in a burlesque costume. Miss Kit ty Howe played the Scotch lassie and danced the Highland fling like native from the land of the thistle.
 Miss Millie Meredith. leader of the ballet, most certainly can dance. She flung the race clad DOric columns which support her body, about until one felt they were likely to come unjointed Her song was If I only thought you wouldn't tell" Miss Hodges makes a very sweet little girl and her song, You can't guess what he wrote on my slate," was prettily sung. She has better voice than most of her compe- titors Miss Maggie Rose in her spec ialty was graceful and danced about the stage like a sprite from a book of Grecian mythology. Miss Lurgio, a dainty sweet lady of the real golden variety, retiring and therefore less ad- vertised, it follows she was not so we'll known by the portion of the audience who can make the most noise.

GLENDALE AND THE
 FARMERS INSTITUTE
Also the Latest Devices for Adver-
 Using the Glendale Section

GLENDALE, June 2O.-Mr. EdsOn, who is chairman of the Maricopa county institute, was in Glendale yes terday conferring with the business men and what few ranchers he could see in the limited time he was here, in regard to the Maricopa county show which is to be held in Phoenix July 20th. He reports that some of the people with whom he talked were interested in the undertaking were interested in the undertaking and expects to get more interested.
 The promoters of the institute have arranged to give handsome prizes in alfalfa, grains, melons, vegetables, su- gar beetS, etc.
 This is something that should re- ceive the hearty support of ranchers, business men and the people in gen. eraI as these farmers institutes are not only good advertising but are educative in a number of ways: by bringing the farmers together socially to exchange ideas, by making a closer bond of friendship and understanding between the ranchers and business men; and by teaching the people what is raised and what can be had in the way of production from the fertile soil of the Salt River valley.
 Farmers cooperative unions and county institutes are rather new thing in this country but they have been a great educational force in the eastern states, helping to teach the farmer how to till the soil Scien- tifically and intelligently. In some places the farmers and teachers in stitutes are held jointly on the same date and speakers connected with the department of agriculture and profes-

Get the Habit

SorS of colleges instruct the farmers in regard to the rotation of crops how to destroy insect pests, and all about farming so as to get the best possible results from the soil. This can be done in Arizona to the bet terment of farming conditions, there being a big field here for educative work on irrigating alone, especially among the ranchers that come from unirrigated states.
 Everyone should take an interest in this as no matter what our oecu- pations may be it is from the soil that we get our sustenance. It is hoped that there will be a number of exhibits from the farms around Glendale

LOST HIS WIFE

Maximino Alvarez entered com plaint in justice court yesterday that he had lost his wife. It seems that he was married to the lady who goes by the name of Cristina Fuentes, in Ray one year ago. He brought her to Mesa recently and secured employ ment in a brick yard at Lehi. A countryman, who is said to be some thing of d "masher,' was also work ing at the wards, and the man and Alvarez wife became acquainted. This was not objectionable, but when the man, whose name is given as Juan Doe, persuaded the wife to leave her husband and take up her abode in the casa of Juan, the husband ceased to consider the matter a joke and filed complaints which caused war rants to be issued for the arrest of the couple on a charge of violating the statutes. Alvarez says he does not want the woman back, but wishes to punish her for trifling with his affections.

Is Promptly Recaptured With the Aid of Some of His Fellow
 Workers.

Another of the governors honor men flew the coop from the stockade at this place Wednesday afternoon. But to counterbalance the incident he was recaptured by two of his own Tartners who still retain the mark of honor. Jesus Torres, the cause of all the extra trouble made his debut from the vicinity of the stOckade about three thirty in the afternoon, but it was some fifteen or possibly thirty minutes before his absence was noted However when it was noticed 6 searching party was immediately formed composed of several guards, a few of the more trusty honor men and Constable Estrada. Following the old route of exit from Tempe the party took the river bed going west as their direction. Nothing was en- cOuntered until about three miles down stream when two of the con- victs who were in the party, Carl Williams and SylVas Alvarez by name, happened to spy the wanted man. He was of course easily captured. The party was called together and made their return in triumph.
 Torres has a wife in Phoenix and evidently was heading for home, judg- ing from the direction he took. It is also evident that his flight had been under the course of preparation for some time past. When captured he wore a neat suit of civilian clothes, hanging from the vest pocket of which was a gold loCket with a beautiful diamond stud in it. In his pockets was found one silver dollar. During his stay in the stockade as everybody knows, none of these things are in possession of the inmates with the possible exception of the dollar. But it is certain that he never even had that. Where he received all of his wearing apparel, etc, is a mystery to the authorities, the only possible suppOsitiOn being that he had a con- federate on the outside of the stock ade.
 At present Torres is still on the bridge gang but in all probabilities he will be returned to Florence where there will be no further chance for escape. He would have finished his term the seventeenth day of the com

 Williams and Alvarez deserve spe cial credit in turning out to catch one of their own partners, but they readily realized that the honor system would never work with such men among them. A large majority of the men employed on the bridge work here understand just what the honor system is and are making good under it's rule, hence when one breaks it they are anxious to make an example of him.
