La Mesa Dry

Said "This berg is surely dead''--
Gone dry Gone dryl
Yes, the vets" said We would fail,
Claimed they'd sell il by the pail.

100 Years Ago Today

One hundred years ago today occurred
an incident in the naval warfare be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain, which, though uninportant in
comparison with the great naval battles
for which the war was famous. was as
thrilling in its way as the most exciting
chapters to be found in Fennimore
COoper's takes of the sea. On November
y, 1913, the American sloop Betsy
In charge of Capt. H. H. Kennedy. of Phil
adelphia. was captured off Currituck
by the British frigate -'Lacedemonian."
The British took the crew off the Amer
lean vessel, leaving Capt. Kennedy. mate
Holbrook and a boy on board with a
prize master and five men. In the night
Capt. Kennedy and his mate rose ON
them, recaptured the vessel and brought
her safe with their six prisoners into

are that the project of the Arizona
Land & Irrigat ton company. near Pres
colt. Will not be carried out without
long legal fight with the farmers Of
the Salt river valley. and that the city
OF Phoenix viii have to drop the idea
OF drawing its water supply from the
Verde river.
The governors and councilmen Of
the Water Users association have en-
powered George D. Christy, their legal
adviser. to take any steps he may deem
advisable to prevent interference with
the appropriated waters OF the Verde.
The Arizona Land & Irrigation COM
pany has begun work on a dam at the
junction of Granite and Willow creeks.
a few miles north Of Prescott. which is
to create a reservoir that viii irrigate
some 80, 900 acres But the Granite and
Willow flow into the Verde. and the
Verde flows into the Salt. 1t is one
of the principal sources OF water supply
for the salt river valley. which claims
all water in the Verde and its tributa-
ries
Some time ago a movement was
launched TO build a reservoir in the
mountains nOrtheSt of Phoenix and fill
it with water from the Verde to be
drawn upon by Phoenix for its munich
pal supply. To this the farmers also
object earnestly.

series b. Anther player then carries it
forward 50 yards. The officials take it
back 40 yards and give it to the oppOsi-
ton. The opposition then trips on its
own feet, falls down in a heap, loses the
ball, bUsts a garter and is awarded p
yards by rule 67S, ring twice. The op-
position then kicks goal, for which it
loses the ball and 10 yards, and receives
a warning.
This so heartens the other side that
it fumbles The ball 10 yards back of its
own line and is given 20 yards by the
referee on the ground that the left guard
licked an opponent while brushing past
him. The attacking side now makes 10
yards more by sitting on the ball and
yelling for help, and 10 yards when the
center passes the ball over the full
backs head. Victory is now in sight. but
unfortunately the attacking half-baek
now makes a 70-yard run and touchdown
For this his side loses the ball and seven
points, the quarterback is elected from
the field, the business manager is con
ditiOned in history B and the game is
declared a draw on points.
Football is still inspiring to watch and
IS now safe game, except as regards
the officials, who must be men OF great
endurance and education. Too much
time is now taken out to allow the UNI
pre- to keep his books and recover his
wind, and 1t has been suggested that the
game can be speeded up by allowing the
officials to play while the players. who
are in. better physical condition any way,
do their work. Copyrighted by George

Football is a concerted endeavOr on the

When II husky young men try to 60
through a place occupied by II other
husky young men something has to give
way. In the case of football it is usually
a collar bone, though the tibia and fibula
are also great sufferers. When football
had progressed to a perfection which
necessitated the delaying of the game
after each play in order to piece the
players together, the census authorities
interfered and the rules committee came
to the rescue.
Football IN its new den1tured form Is
played by a referee and umpire, with the
assistance of the revised rules, neatly

Dear Sirs:
Two years ago decided that I would
like to invest some money in real es-
tate and after looking around decided
that the Rio Grande valley near FL
PasO offered the best investment, so
made a trip down to FL Paso and
after looking over both valleys above
and below FL Paso, decided that the
Mesilla valley above FL PasO suited me
best. After making a personal inves-
tigation by myself, and through agents
/ finally bought so acres of land
through Mr.. Bailey. of your company,
and wish to say that I was very
pleased, not only with my bargain,
but with the accurate and complete
information given me by Mr.. Bailey.
and 2I the time I was well satisfied
and have remained so. 1 do not be-
ieVe that I could have made a better
GUY under any circumstances.
7 might add that a substantial profit
was offered as I bought the land at
SIS per acre, and within four months
received an offer of $50 per acre for
same.
Yours very truly.
