The Dokeys.

Preparations are being made for Dramatic Order, Knights of the Khorassan in Buckeye, on Thursday April ,. UpOn that occasion, Ill Yemmah Temple, No G. will journey down to the little city of the Has sayampa in it's full strength, and taking advantage of the ineXperience of the Tyros, who are in hiding there, will proceed to inflict such tortures as will recall the days of the lnquisi ton or whatever days those were when Jortures were in style Buckeye Lodge. Knights Of Pythias, will sane ton the coming Of the Dramatic 1orturers just because the Imperial NaWab has scared them so badly with tales of what will happen il an invasion is made necessary through lack of invitation. When q real live NaWab, common sight upon the streets of Phoenix. is turn ed loose in Buckeye there is certain to be sensation. Phoenix possesses the only real live NaWab in Ari- ZOna, New Mexico and sonora. But the local Dokeys are nothing if not unselfish and they are willing to share honors with their neighbors
 Just how many Tyros will be sent over the burning sands is not known just now but 1t IS promised that there will be enough to appease the greed Of the blood thirsty NOtarieS \ Phoenix undertaken has heen specially engaged to accompany the highWaymen and he will carry an automobile load of embalmng fluid, which it may be necessary to ad-
 minister to the majority of those present
 And then on Tuesday evening. April 15, the Dokeys will break out in spots in Phoenix. Such a cere-
 monial as is planned for that occa- sion has never been equalled since
 the days of Nero. Scores of TNros have already been caged and are 1 being fed on honey and tar and other fattening substances so that there will be plenty of real good meat for the Princeton emblem, the black tiger with yellow streaks.

NEEDS OF MINISTER'S
PROBLEM OF CHURCH

churches OF Southern Prcsbyteriani.m
contribute regularly to this cause, this
being less than 20 per cent Of the

1t cannot be expected that preacher
can accumulate money with which TO
make provision for old age from a
salary so small He showed further
that preacher cannot afford TO sup

secular work because Of criticism and
Of being accused Of being more inter
