formation of the desert The first showed a stretch of real desert with cacti and other hardy plants growing in the sand. On the second float a modern farm in miniature had been laid out, with a house, barn, wind mill, fences and growing things and even little orchard in bloom.
 The irrigation float showing a water fall in an irrigation canal was designed and executed by Taffee. The forestry float by Davis carried a small grove of Arizona trees supplied by the U. $. forest service at Prescott. Both the irrigation and forestry floats were pre- scented by the Modern Woodmen of America. A cavalcade of cattlemen and COW girls followed the Woodmen's floats The cattle business is too fla miliar to seem very romantic to the tourists among the spectators found this a very novel feature.
 The three flower floats carrying Phoenix high school girls brought the pageant to bright and colorful climax. A field of orange poppies, a band of golden sunflowers and last "A Garden of Roses" The flowers of Arizona were beautiful collectively and indi- vidually. and well deserving of the ap- plause they won.

The San Xavier mis- sion, which is still standing near Tue son. is more than two hundred and fifty years old The portrayal of the Mission Period was in charge of the Knights of Columbus.
 Then followed a long succession of floats that told the story of the Ameri- can occupation from pioneer days to the present time. The Woodmen of the World presented the log cabin of early days, a home like structure shaded by pine trees. A procession of Woodmen pioneers in jumpers, straw hats, ban danas. overalls and leggings followed the float.
 The Moose Lodge presented a picture of mining as it was in the old days and as it is today. A procession of miners and prospectors carrying tools and driving pack laden burros led the way and the scenic float that followed showed the mouth of a mine shaded by pine trees, and from within the mine came the sound of sledge and drill The l equipment for the miners section was loaned by the Ezra w.

 All our best remedies have been first found by common experience. The testimony of one person and an other has spread the news and finally it's use has become general.
 This is exactly the way Peruna has spread among the people. It has not been advertising that has sold Peruna Sometimes advertising sells the first bottle to a person, but afterwards it must be the merits of Peruna that sell it.

 What you are after is, first, 10 cure yourself of your trouble; and, sec ond, to gain experience so that you may cure yourself next time, if you or any member of your family should be so afflicted.
 If you go to the drug store you buy Peruna. If it cures you then you know what to get next time. If it does not cure you and fit proves to be worthless, you know what to avoid.

 Mir. Bell has had considerable ex perience in land matters in Minnesota and Dakota,aIso in Western Canada, He purchased land in these localities at d time when the country was new and land was cheap. During the years that he held these lands he has seen enormous rise in value on htem From Canada MT. Bell went to Southern California at ontario investing again when land was com paratively cheap, and again saw the price rise in value that probably has been unprecedented in the history of land anywhere He feels that in coming to the Salt river valley and buying the kind of land he has that his previous experience will repeat itself
 To man who owns alfalfa around | Ontario, that sells at from four to | five hundred an acre. Salt river valley 1 land under $10O.O0 an acre looks very low in price.
 MT Bell takes into account the 1 fact that the revenue derived from 1 the sale of the power on the Salt l river valley project will eventually be 1 one of the valleys greatest assets i and it is the power possibilities that really clinched the matter in his mind.
 In Ontario, California. water costs from $500 to $2OOO per acre pel l year. and is pumped from deep wells l where the water has to be lifted from over two hundred feet, hence the price charged for the use O water here seem very cheap to him as they certainly are.
 In his conversation, MT. Bel brought out this fact: that there i an old saving Where rail and Wate

 The next float showed the meeting of Cortez, the conquering Spaniard with MOntezuma, the last of the great emperOrS of the Aztec empire which stretched from coast to coast in Mex icO. Cortez and his followers were all ablaze with plumes, velvet and jewels, after the fashion of the time, and Mon tezuma and his attendants were at tired in the regalia of splendid but primitive court.
 After the float marched forty Span ish Americans in gala dress, represent ing the early Spanish residents of Ari- zona. These men wore broad sombre- rOs and blue trousers fIared at the bot tom and trimmed in red and over the shoulder of each was flung a bright serape. The Spaniards, and the Cal endar Stone and Montezuma floats were presented by the Spanish Ameri- can Fraternal Brotherhood
 The next section, which was designed to show Indian life in Arizona, was led by the Indian school band and the five floats that followed, portrayed Vividly the life and work of the real American. All five of these floats were designed and built at the Phoenix Indian school, and the Indians who rode on them were pupils of the school.

EAvoRs a COMPROMISE

The Cedar Rapids Republican favors
a compromise between Governor
Clarke and Editor Rowley in the cap
ttol extension matter. It would have
the governor stand for less additional
grounds than the legislature author
lied to be purchased and thus assure
himself the support of the people
of the state. Following is the Re
publican's suggestion in its own
words
Mr.. Rowley, of keosauqua. thinks
tnat he lis going to be candidate for
governor. He may be deal wiser.
Instead of making an issue out of the
capital extension, it would be much
wiser for the present governor and
executive council to use bit of ordi-
nary common sense and settle that
question so there need be no debate
over 1T in Iowa politics. It is a use.
less and futile question. Let the gov
ernor stand for buying reasonable
amount of additional grounds, instead
of large acreage, and then he will
have the approval of all Iowans of
common sense. We are all In favor
of reasonable enlargement, but there

eRow1H OF PARCEL posI.

A year ago the postal department Of
the United States had practically no
parcel post system, but today it is one
of the most important factors of the
FORK. 1t was introduced with trepida-
ton the first of last January, but it
became successful at once. Not only
is 1t a great accommodation to the
public, but it is also money maker
for the department.
Two expanding orders of great i'm
portance have recently been issued by
the postmaster general, one extending
the post system to include books and
the other raising the limit of weight
from 90 to 80 pounds. There has al
ready been one extension of the limit
in the first two zones and this is the
second increase since the establish
ment of the system.
These are noteworthy advances. A
year ago it was possible to send only
four pounds through the mails, with
one or two exceptions in the case of
books, and that was at a rate of
postage which many considered pro
hihitive. Beginning tomorrow 1t will
be possible to send fifty pounds within
$50 miles and twenty pounds all over
the country. OF course the railroads
win have to have more compensation
for the augmented volume of business
but in the meantime the public viii
