give you The Standard description here,
The male. when fully matured, should
be a brilliant, glossy dark red through
out with the exception of a black tail
and about one-half Of each wing feath-
er black The color might be better
understood as a red mahogany. The
female should be red throughout eX-
cept the black tail and wing, as de-
scribed for the male with a slight black
ticking on the lower part of the neck.
OF course, you will not find the luster
on the female that you will on the male.
Otherwise the color might be known as
mahogany red.
In shape they should be long in body
and back, but with a nice slight con-
cave sweep to tail in contra-d distinction
to the Minorca, which also has a long
back, but the rear OF the Minorca back
is carried much lower than that Of the
Reds and has no upward sweep to the
tail. In size the Red is the same as the
Wyandotte. except the pullet, which is
one-half pound less. The cock weighs
eight and one-half pounds, hen six and
one-half, cockerels seven and one-half,
pullet Ave pounds.
Like all comparatively new breeds,
one must not expect too much of it.
There will be many off cOlored chicks
come from the very best obtainable
strains. This is something that we all
have tC tear until they have been care
fully bred for a good long period of
years.

Finally the fowls were taken to
one of the fairs in that section
by one of the thrifty poultry
men, and when asked by the
Judge what he had there. he re-
piled, "Those are some of our
common Rhode Island Reds. :"
With that as starter they were
hencefOrth known by this name.
This was a hint TO the seeker of new
breeds and 1t was not long till they
were scattered about the country as
Rhode Island Reds but, Of course, in a
very crude state They have now been
IN the hands Of scientific breeders for
some eight or ten years and are show
ing up their good points to the world.
For quick growth and vigor they will
perhaps excel anything in our standard
line today, and as egg producers are
perhaps the equal Of any. There are
two varieties Of this breed, the single
and rose comb. The single, however, is
IN much greater prominence than the
rose comb variety
Aside from the character Of the combs
they should be the same. can not

THE MARRIAGE
 WAS HATEFUL
The Only Reason That Can Be Suggested for the Flight of Miss Mary Woodward From Phoe,- nix Lately

No trace has yet been found of Miss Mary Woodward who disappeared from Phoenix few days ago. George M. Woodward her father who lives at Winkelman has returned from the southern part of the state in search of her. Among the points he visited was Bisbee Of the hunt there the Bisbee Review says:
 He was given information by Bisbee police that led him to believe that his daughter went through Douglas and he ment there and after satisfying him self that the young woman had gone on through eastward he returned to his home at Winkelman and will con fine his search for the missing girl to advertising in the newspapers.
 The disappearance of the young wo- man, on the eve of her wedding to a wealthy young man of San Diego, Cal, is one ni the most unique mysteries that has come to light in Arizona in recent years From the story that is
 told by the father the only reasonable assumption that remains is that she ran away from home to escape marry | ing the young Californian, to whom l she is said to have been engaged 1 The young man is said to be wealthy
