MESA HIGH SCHOOL
 HAS OWN NURSERY
Aggy Department Has Both Black and Thornless. Locus Trees Which
 Will Be Sold in Valley
Especial to The Republican,


 MESA, AriZ Feb 19.-The agricul- tural department of the Mesa union high school has arranged to issue to a. few of their friends and to those who are interested in trees several varieties of plants which they themselves have reared on their grounds, and which are especially adapted to growth in this part of the state In the list which the school can supply are both the black loctus and the thornless variety. Both of these varieties are about one year old and have attained some growth.
 The loctus seems to thrive in this section of the state, and on account of it's hardness, it's beauty and its speedy growth will become a valuable orna- mental and shade tree in the valley There are on hand in the department at the present time enough of these trees to supply a fairly large demand, but those who wish them would do well to put in their applications at once.
 The trees will be supplied to the public at nominal cost. The charge is placed on the plants more to insure

MEXICAN ORAWNWORK
 AT BARGAIN PRICES
Many Ladies Taking Advantage of
 Offer.

Since the recent announcement by Balke's Big Curio store of the cut sale of the odds and ends of Mexi- can drawnwork left over from the holiday rush, many ladies of Phoe- nix have provided themselves with supplies at these bargain prices. There are still many bargains in these odds and ends but in the very nature of things they cannot last long
 It should be borne in mind that there is nothing better in the world in the line of Mexican drawn work for it comes from the convent of Guadaljara where the art of it's manufacture has been brought to the highest degree of perfection.
 But it must all go for the ship ment of another year is coming in from the convent and room must be made for it This drawnwork is bought year by year by MT. Bake who makes selection of the best of the years output. No other kind of Mexican drawn work has ever been handled by the Big Curio store On the receipt of the coming shipment there will be no more cut prices
 But just now the bargains are most attractive as any lady will realize when she learns that it is possible to buy a drawnwork hand kerchief for the small price of thirty-five cents. Nothing else is higher in Advertise mcnt)

their going into the hands of those in terested in them than with an idea to gain. and is so low that it makes the trees practically a gift to those inter- ested in better homes and a more beau tful valley.
 The department of agriculture of the Mesa schools will in the future aim to supply it's friends with ornamental trees and plants at frequent intervals, and will raise especially those trees and plants which will be future bene- fit to the Salt River Valley

 That would be Iovely!" cried Doro- thy. "A real pie 'spressly for them 2"
 Yes said mamma. Bridget shall make you one tomorrow morning"
 Every day Dorothy was allowed to sprinkle bread crumbs on the window sill for the pigeons. who came at her call Many of them had grown quite tame. and she called them her friends. At 12 o'cock on Thanksgiving day she had on her cloak and hood and stood at the open window with mamma waiting for the pigeons.
 The little pie. made like a cranberry pie, only filled with sweet corn, was placed on the window-sill, and Ioololly Was eagerly watching to see if the pigeons would eat it. As soon as she began to call them, they flew toward the window and alighted as usual At first they seemed to miss the bits of bread they were accus- toned to find.
 In moment, however, one ventured to dive his beak into the pie. Then another and another followed his example, until very soon it could hardly be seen, there were so many pigeons around it. Dorothy watched them in perfect delight as they fut- tered about and eagerly pecked at the delicious food
 When at last every bit was eaten and the pigeons all flew away. she gave a sigh of satisfaction as she ex- claimed: 70 mamma, wasn't it nice that the pigeons had Fanksgiving. tco?''

NO REDUCTION IN
 RED|SC0UNT RATES
Believed Ii You'd Cause Imitation
 and Drive Out Co'C

Washington, Nov. 24.---It va; an the present the Federal Reserve board will authorize no reductions in the rediscount rates prescribed for mem Der banks some days ago. Fear that such reductions might drive gold cut of the country and tend to imitation naS impelled the board to stand by the rediscount rates now in effect.
 A number O. applications for au- thority to reduce rediscount rates were considered at yesterdays meeting. Af- iirmative action was denied in every case. It was pointed out that as a re- suit of the reduction of the reserve requirements of the new banking law an additional S20O. O.00o.O00 held by member banks is available for loan purposes.
 South and West.
 The applications for authority to re- ducc rodiscount rates came mainly from the south and west. The redis- count rate in New York is 5R per cent. for thirty day paper and 6 per cent, for paper of longer term.
 SOlSlueTallOn was gwen at yoSter- days meeting to the cotton fund Of $1OO, 100000 raised to relieve coadi- tions in the south. Governor Harding and MT. Warburg, who have just re- turned from New York, reported that this particular transaction is pro- ceeding satisfactorily. Governor Harding pointed out how banks in the south now carrying large cotton loans will share in the relief.
 Discuss Stock Exchange.
 There was some discussion at the relative to the reopening of the New York Stock Exchange, but members of the board were guarded in discussing this question. They were not disposed to make public comment on reports that came from New York yesterday that banks there were ready for the reopening of the exchange and that the governors of that body were about ready to resume business in bonds on a limited scale.
 Consideration also was given to the question that has arisen in connection with the application of state banks and trust companies to enter the new federal trust system. No conclu- SiOns were reached.
 Announcement was made that each federal reserve agent will be required to furnish a bond of $25O,OOO, and each deputy federal reserve agent a like bond of $15,OOO.

FINAL RESULT DELAYED
 BY RUSSIAN ADVANCE
Germans Still Confident of Victory
 in Russian Poland.

Berlin, Nov. 24 By Wireless 1 Telegraphy to Sayvillc, l.. I.-The fol- lowing information was given out to- day by the official press bureau.
 While an eventual victory for the i Teutonic allies in the eastern theater of the war is expected as confidential as ever official reports from the German and Austrian military head quarters make it appear that a de- csion will not be reached as soon as had been expected. The final re- suit has been delayed by the ad- vance of new Russian forces from Warsaw.
 AustrianS Abandon Passes.
 The Austrians announce that they have abandoned to superior hostile forces several passes in the Carpl- thians. The Russian troops which are investing Przemysl have been driven back by a sortie and are not within danger of the cannon of the forts.
 The Russians who crossed the lower Dunajcc are not able to pro- cecd further.
 100 Miles Front.
 "The tremendous extent of the bat ties now raging in the east is appar- ent from the fact that contests are now in progress along a front cN- tending over 400 miles between the positions on the extreme north and south.
 No important reports have been received recently from Scrvia from tile scene of the Turkish operations, or from the western the lter of war. Snowfall in Berlin.
 There was q light snowfall in Ber- lin early this morning, and the tenn perature fell to below zero centigrade.
 "Despatches appearing in Italian newspapers are to the effect that mo- lestation of Italian shipping by the French is part of a systematic plan of the French to divert the maritime trade of Genoa to Marseilles.
 Feeling Against England.
 Word comes from Rome that in northern Italy there is much feeling against England in consequence of the fact that several metal foundries were closed because of the seizure of copper and lead. British imports in October, according to reports from Rome, decreased 2O,0O0,0O0 pounds or 40 per cent. and the exports 1S,O00,- 900 pounds or 60 per cent, as com pared with last year.
 Switzerland has lodged protests at London and Bordeaux against the violation of Swiss neutrality by Brit ish aviators, and demands satisfac- tion.
 Reports Arc Absurd.
 'The Copenhagen Politiken states that English reports that Germany wishes peace are absurd and that their only aim is to keep England in good humor Grmaeny has no rea- son for wishing peace, since her armies are on foreign territory and her navy is uninjured.'
