(AdvertisemcnO.

The Tempe Christian Church Mis- sionary society. branch order of the Christian Womans Board of Missions with headquarters at Indianapolis. held
 its regular monthly meeting at the
 Tabernacle Monday evening The set program dealt with missionary work in the Upper Congo Valley and Libera Africa. On the former subject Mrs Charles II. Prather gave very inter cSting review. \ rev jew of the latter topic, equally as interesting was given by Mrs. R. F. Dunlap, state organizer for the Woman's Board of Missions As a side issue to the regular program brought about by her recent return to Tempe, Mrs. w. II Salyer told of the southern California Christian Church convention held the middle of July at Long HehCh. While the local church sends no official delegates to such gatherings, it is always seen that some one is there to represent them and this time the duty fell to Mrs. Salyer. al ready pleasure seeker on the coast. Her review of the various sessions of the institute was interesting from start to finish being made in detail with the allotted time. The meeting given originally in honor of Mrs Amanda Richards who departs shortly for Cali fornia, was closed with a social hour appropriately topped off with light re- treatments

TEACHER OF AGRICUL TURF
 FOR TEMPE HIGH SCHOOL
Athletic Field improvements at the Institution. Modern Grand Stand
 and Snclcs no.

To lay final plans preliminary to the opening of the Tempe union high school for the l913-1914 term the board of education of that institution met in regular monthly session at the office ot the principal Monday evening. Ir- respective of the absence of two mem bers, J. R. Birchett and C. r. Mullen, with the quorum, composed of l.. D. Crook, C. k. Finch and W. A Moeur. the necessary disposition of all bUsi- ness requiring attention was made.
 Chicf of all matters and one that has been causing the board no small amount of worrying for two months or more, Was the appointment of an agri- cultural teacher With the addition of this course to the school curriculum the coming term the board has made an attempt to secure an instructor pro- ficient in agriculture and one or two additional subjects. And after dili- ment search they have hit upon the right man, Professor Mead. last year member of the high school faculty at Tucson. Arizona, will fill the last open position at the local institution In addition to agriculture. NIT. Mead will be in charge of mathematics and possibly one other science.
 Second on the boards list of troubles came the erection of the fence to sur round the entire high school grounds and the improvements of the athletic field. Immediate action was taken on these matters and work will probably be started the last of this week
 On the athletic field a new grand stand. live hundred capacity. will be erected fully up to date in comparison with those built in the three valley towns Uni summer. All athletic events will be ccntered directly in front ot the stand. the basketball court and baseball diamond commanding the best possible view from the more modern structure.
 Work on the fence will be started ar the same time. on the west and north of the school building, the fence will toe entirely ornamental.
 Last upon their list came tn ;p- pointment of q new janitor. out of the | two changes made this summer no permanent result has been obtained. 1 The last appointment now places C e. | Austin in charge If the building and | grounds.

A Trip Through Funland


 The patrons of the Coliseum have d treat in store for them in the line up of vaudeville acts which opened ! for the weeks run last evening. The show might we'll be termed !" \ Trip Through Finland" in three sections. To start the journey. Mr. Walter Le Mar offers 4 most artistic whistling and imitation act. He has q very clever line of goods which he delivers in just the right manner. He is bill cd as Americas most humorous night ingale. and h., is well named. for his whistling is really reduced to an art. Tn imitati psn he offers everything from d steamboat to a blaming mill, The second section is in the capable hands of Mr. James Dcrv.n with a very comical offering in Ventriloqu- ism. He confines his efforts to fun producing, and how well he succeeds is evidenced by the fact that he was the recipient of several enCores at Ithe conclusion of his act, and was forced to hanC out some clever imi- tation work. one of which is espeC- tally pleasing being a burlesque on Ia conference of international peace held at The Hague, during which he offers several of the rulers of Europe in conference assembled. adhering closely to tho recognized peCuliarities in the manner of speech of the sev Cral nations ho. represents. When you feel you are laughed out, De NOy x Dayton appear with an act which is scream from the start. Everything designed to make you forget your troubles seems to have been incorpor- ated in the action and the result is pid fire con edy of the latest style, | and eccentric dancing that is real l eccentric dancing. to say nothing of ! some very clever ragtime singing. The | feature of the movie program is q | two reel Lubin The Weaker Mind ! in which Mir Adair and Miss Ryan | both well known to Phoenix theater goers appear in leading roles.

While New England as a whole shows a deficiency of precipitation for the year 1912. and a great majority of the individual stations show similar S1t- nation, there are q few notable excep- tons, especially as shown in the fig tres at the Wachusett dam. In a Clinton paper of Jan: was given a table of the precipitation figures at the Wachusett dam, by months. showing a total of 45.81 inches for the year. BOston's figures were 34.55 inches, g. difference of nearly q foot. In 1911 on the other hand. the Wachusett dam were 35.7S, difference of only three inches
 Willis L.

There may be some ground for such scoffings. For in stance a prophet" in FislIdale. Mass, lredicted that from Christmas day to Dec. 28 there would be the coldest weather ever known He said. on Dec. IT: T have been studying the signs of the moon and stars for two months and I knew a month ago that next week we will have the coldest weather these New England states ever knew Others have been telling what they knew about the weather. and if what l say does not come true. why anyone can say ] don't know what l am talk ing about. There will be A snow storms this winter and we have had three of them now.''
 The prophet added that if his pre- dictions came true he would tell next year his secrets and how to figure what the weather will be. But the materialize, so probably the secret will not be revealed.

 Were I once young again. Mr. Birrell remarked, T should not dwell as much as I was early led to do by my reading upon the transitional character of the period of time in which I found myself nor upon any particular crisis I was supposed to be facing. I should try to be content, without compassionating myself or frequent takings of my moral temper ature. to lead the life of my own time, sharing to the full It's thoughts and speculations without recklessness, levity or cowardice; not, as were the mediaevalists, intirnidated by the fear of death, yet with a.
