whether Edward of England or
Philip of France, started the trou-
BILE, but suffice to say that it was
greed. England wanted certain
parts of Northern France for her
self and the position of Flanders
was probably the main reason, al
though there were many others.
France was an ally of Flanders
and had helped them with their
wars with Germany. On the 9TH
er hand, Flanders was one of the
largest manufacturing countries of
the time, and it's location almost
made it necessary to stay at peace
with England, besides England was
the chief source of wool, which
was the mostimportant raw materi-
al of the Flanders manufactures.
Without English wool, the looms
were idle and the workmen thrown
out of employment.
The definite steps that brought
ON the war would not have been
taken under other conditions, al
though the two countries we're con-
tinually at loggerheads with each
other. The count of Flanders, or
dered the arrest of all English mer-
chants in the country. Edward at
once seized the Flemish in England
and stopped the expectation of
wool. Edward also sent his fleet to
Flanders, but it was met on the
coast by the French fleet, and the
first fight issued, which resulted in
a victory forthe English. Edward
then proclaimed himself King of
France, and making terms with
Flanders, invaded France through
the Flemish ports. There were
several battles of no consequence
until the battle Of Grey, which IL
illustrates we'll the difference be-
tween the two armies, which was
of so vital importance throughout
the whole of the war. The Eng
lish army was small, and composed
mostly of foot-men; but they were
men highly trained, confident; arm
ed with the best of Old England's
weapons, the longbow. The French
army was large, loosely organized,
and, as is characteristic of the
French, practically no control, and
furthermore were over-confdent
and held high contempt for the
opposing forces, which, they
thought, could only be peasents.
How similar to our men at Bunker
Hill and again at Valley Forge
where on that memorable Christ
mas Eve, Washington and his band
of half-fed, half-clothed "rag-a-
mullins utterly demoralized and
routed the Hessians. So it was
throughout this battle; the con
, temptable English peasents, sc
badly defeated the French that il
marked an epoch in the entire war
After that came a succession Of
Kings and battles, of battles anc
Kings, for all the world like fam
lily feud that has been taken up by
the young hopefuls.' Only one
point of interest comes up that wa'

Prominent California Cattle Man Buys Through Shedd of Greene
 and Griffin

H. s. Vogel of Elsinore California. one of the best known stockmen of California purchased a S14.O00 ranch. The deal was made by MT. Frank Shedd and is one of several made by him within the past few dave.
 The property purchased by MT. NogeI is in Section 26, T. ,. N, E. 9 E.
 It is all in alfalfa. has good house and barn and is well fenced. MT Nogel arrived yesterday morn ing bringing two car loads of fine cattle the beginning of what will be one of the best stock ranches in the valley. It is creditable to this section that d man of Mir NogeIs knowledge and standing in the cattle business should select this section above all others and is but another proof that as a stock country the Salt River Valley stands unrivalIed.

That the lawyer builds largely on the fture was demonstrated the other night by a story told by Congress- man Byron P Harrison of Mississip- pi.
 Some time ago. so related the con gressman. a handsome young woman entered the office of a prominent lawyer. Immediately the legal one rose to meet her.
 T am glad to tell you, Miss Smith, g he pleasantly remarked, that your breach of promise suit has been set tied. The defendant has expressed d desire to compromise the case by marrying you"
 T am very glad to hear that" was the smiling response of Miss Smith. Tt is much better than taking a chance on losing the verdict. You have managed the case very we'll How much do I owe you?'
 Let me see" thoughtfully unused the lawyer, Shall we say $1OO?"
 We shall not!" was the empha- tic rejoinder of the fair plaintiff. Tt is entirely too much.'
 Well. then. l will tell you what ] will do, Miss smith, responded the lawyer. T will just cut that bill in half if you will promise to retain me as your counsel when you sue for 9 divorce. - Philadelphia Ledger.

SMALL TRACTS 1
 GOING FAST
New Subdivision About to Be Put on Market ; At tractive Sale Made North of Grand Canal near Indian School

Illustrative of the fact that the most active demand for real estate this season is for small tracts locat- ed near Phoenix. There is nothing more gratifying to those who have the best interests of the Salt River Valley at heart. than the work that is being done in sub dividing the larger tracts into small acreage and attractive home site lots. From all quarters of the local real estate mar ket comes information that the de- mand for small acreage was never 50 active as now.
 George McClarty sold to A. M. Wyatt for $10.0O0 this week through the agency of the Irvine office. his eight-acre tract located between South Seventh street and the Ari- zona Eastern Car Shops. MT. Wyatt is the man who was successful in placing Kensngton Place on the market some time ago. It is his in tention to sub-divide and improve his new purchase and put it on the market. The improve ement work will begin at once.
 It is his intention also to erect several homes on the property. and these. like the lots, will be sold on easy terms The sale mentioned was made by w. Y. Rumney.
 Another small tract buyer was B. S Abeloos of Minnesota, who pur- chased very desirable ten-acre ranch just north of the Grand Canal and only d short distance east of North Central avenue MT. Abe1oos brought his family here with him and will go ahead and make his home on the property. It is under stood that the ten acres will be set out to decidous fruit. It is located directly north of the Indian school and in q very desirable section, and real estate men consider that MT. AbeIoos made d very good buy at $250O.

HOBBIES AND VACATION.

Isn't this the best time to practise
YOUR hobby? OF course you may enjoy
a pet fad in the winter while you are
at school. 1t is easy then to trade
stamps with fellow scholars. or e&-
change marbles or talk about your fly
ing machines and dolls clothes and
the work you are doing with your
camera.
But surely everything that's worth
doing at all is worth doing well, even
If il is playing a game or riding
hobby. that is often more fun than
any other kind of play or game. lf,
for example. you enjoy taking pict-
ures. why not try TO learn about the
principles on which the camera works
and what photographers are doing in
new fields; or if your hobby is making
toy airships, read magazines, search
papers that you have at hand, and run
through books TO find something OF In
terest about airshipS. BE on the look
out all the time for news and articles
about them. Whenever possible cut
the article out and keep it in clipping
book or envelope. and before long you
will have enough material to amount
to a big bOOkful Of interesting reading
matter. and, furthermore, you will
gradually be becoming quite an expert
along your own line. Why not try to
do this? 1t will give you a good time
on rainy days, reading and cutting and
pasting, and when fine weather comes
YOU will be so much the further ahead

A fine way to use cork bean bag Is 10

play with your friends upon the Sea
beach. for nice. smooth. sandy beach Is
the best kind Of a holiday playground
and there are always plenty OF children

Everybody knows just now much fun II
is TO make sand cakes with a pail and

or dig deep holes FOR the incoming tide

other Jolly ways in which you can amuse
yourself.
First Of all. did YOU ever happen 10 think
OF making a cork beanbag? 1t makes
splendid toy for the seashore. and when
you 20 in swimming the beanbag offers
all kinds OF FUN. just as ball does upon
land lr everyday play.
To make the cork beanbag you Will need
a square OF gingh1m or waterproof cIoth
FOR its covering and handful Of small
sized corks. These may be taken from
disused bottles and cut into smaller pieces.
or YOU may purchase a handful Of small
corks al the drug store. The bag is made
quite simply. as any ordinary beanbas
would be made. but Of course. its cork
will always keep IT upon the top OF the
water. so that II makes an ideal toy TO
play with when you go swimming.
It can be used 10 play the old game OF
school" where all players stand in line
while the bag IS tossed by teacher to
each one IN the lire in turn. When any
one misses his catch he has 10 go to the
foot of the class" at the end OF the line'
while the one at the head becomes
