must be great compensations in age,
especially to woman. Yes, know
that women are expected to lose all
when they get old, but that is what
man thinks about it. Aunt Mary and
Mrs. SelWin have taught me that
when a woman has reached the point
where she can look back on all her
life and understand it was good she
has reached a point of her existence
where she can rest a while and give
herself the wonderful pleasure Of be-
ing "a locker on"
When Mrs. Selwin told me the 9TH

worth a tear l looked at her serene
face, and, oh, how l pitied her. l

woman must pass through to reach

Mrs. Selwin has certainly had some
history that she does not tell to the
world for no woman could be as abso-
lutely law unto herself and a col
umn of strength to those about her
as she is, without passing through
more than the joys and rose-lined
paths of life. These experiences have
left her cold. Her sympathy is of

 Another action of the council, al
 though not an official proceeding, was the appointment of Mayor Bir- chett as a committee of one to con- fer with State Engineer Cobb re- garding the lighting of the Tempe bridge. Of late a number of the shades and globes that light up the bridge at night have been broken. This is either malicious or acciden- tai, but the fathers of the city are inclined to believe it the latter It is the purpose of the proposed con ference to check the destruction of the equipment and not only cut down an unnecessary expense. but also to better protect travellers. Breaking bridge lights is a very serious offence and will be dealt with accordingly.

GOVERNMENT EXPERT
 SOUNDS THE WARNING
Danger in Planting Short. Staple
 Cc.tor

There has been a rumor on the streets for the past few days that agents from Glendale were in the
 city for the purpose of disposing of
 short staple cotton seed to the local
 growers. A careful search did not
 disclose a grower who had been ap-
 preached nor could a grower be
 found who is in favor of growing
 short staple cotton. However, the
 report has reached the agricultural
 department expert at Washington, who has wired back a warning to the growers of the Mesa section to beware of the short staple variety il they intend to keep pure the Egyp- tian cotton which is deterioratinS even in it's native land of Egypt. The wire, full of importance to the follows:
 Washington, D. C., March A. Editor Mesa Tribune, Mesa, Ariz. Tn any community where short staple cotton is grown a pure seed i supply of Egyptian variety cannot
 be maintained. Crossing is bound to take place and in a few years cotton will be mixed as is now the case in Egypt and deterioration will be evil dent ir fibre as we'll as in seed. Competition with cheap labor of the | Nile valley will then be impossible
 It is much easier to refrain from planting short staple cotton now than 1 to get back to pure Egyptian basis later on The high reputation the Salt River valley has acquired for uniform long staple cotton means
 much for it's future prosperity and would be a calamity to throw away 1 this advantage.' Signed, "Swingle' ? l The local officers of the exchange
 are under the impression that there will not be a short staple seed sown i in this section this year. They be- lieve that the growers will realize
 the importance of keeping the seed supply pure and keeping the standard
 high. The telegram has pointed out
 the importance of keeping a pure
 seed supply, for it indicates tha; | within few years there will be a
 premium on pure-bred Egyptian seed
 cotton.

In the fourth inning the Winkelman boys were somewhat lin the air and let five men across the plate, but at all other times the contest was very close. Good work was done by both pitchers. One of l the games sensations was Easley s | home run in the eight bringing in one man ahead of him and adding two to Winkelman's score. The teams lined up as follows:

COMMON COUNCIL HAS
 BUSY SPECIAL SESSION
Common Council Has Sewer Bonds to Be Put to Vote on April
 25, 1914

Responding to a call for a special meeting of the common council of Tempe, issued by Mayor Birchett, the city fathers met Monday evening in the council chambers and engaged in lengthy and busy session. The most important matter to occupy their attention was the question Of sewerage, one that has been receiv- ing much attention of late. The proposition has been brought to such a point that definite action could be taken on Monday night. The result was that the council passed an or Gtnance referring the matter to the taxpayers of Tempe for acceptance or rejection at a general election to be held on the 25th day of April The ordinance embodies several features of interest. It calls for a vote upon the issuance of bonds to the extent of $3O,OOO, with which to construct a sewer system for the city of Tempe, designates the districts to be included, and names the election board to serve on the 25th of April West Tempe, Goldman's addition portion of East Tempe, Gage addi- tion and Farmers addition, will all | be included under the proposed sew CT system and will receive the bene- fits therefrom. This was the extent
 upon which the contractors bid and
 upon which all plans have beer made.
 The election board named Monday evening by the council were: J. O
 Mullen, inspector; l. V. Stewart ant
 A. Cummings, judges. L. E. Paffort
 and Wm. S. Reed, clerks. and Geo
 L. Compton, marshal.
 | A sewerage system for Tempe ha. been agitated for a period of many months by the people of this town | The matter has been referred to sev eral engineering and contracting par
 ties with the result that L. G. knipe l of Phoenix. was chosen by th' council as engineer in charge. H.
 has completed quite an extensive
 piece of work, mapping out the dis tricts to be benefited and planning
 the course of the proposed system. As a result of open bids upon thu
 construction of the sewer systen Doyle Brothers of Tucson have beer awarded the contract, provided thu | proposition is accepted by the tax I payers of Tempe The bid of Doyl' l Brothers calls for 32,O00 and in or der to assure their good faith th'
 council now holds a bond on then
 in the sum of $1700.00.
 II Besides the sewer bond question the city fathers devoted some tint to other matters of importance. Mar shal Browning was instructed 10 no tify all residents of the west side o Willow avenue between Fifth anC Eighth streets that they must nov their fences back to their propert. lines. Owing to some fault of tn original survey of the city that DOT
 tion of Willow avenue from Eight street north to Fifth has never beel the required width. The propert. fences have extended out into tn street, taking up considerable room
