declared 10 be the first political speech
OF his life. He gave three reasons for
his support TO the former PendIeton

stands for and third because OF the
nature OF his opposition

said. IL he is honest he will attempt to

II he is capable he will succeed From
a long and intimate association with

his word 10 the people OF the state

 "This disease is commonly called leaf spot, and is due to a parasitic fungus. Some varie- ties are much more seriously af- fected than others. The Candy lis usually easily attacked. Where the trouble is sufficiently important to justify the expense, the disease may be largely pre- vented by spraying with Bor- ldeaux mixture, in connection with the destruction of the dis eased leaves.

Back Down Relieves Tension. ,, United Press Dispatch.
 Washington, June 8.-Much relief was manifest today when l it was learned that Huerta had backed down. The change ob- viates the necessity of openly favoring the constitutionalists.
 The Spanish ambassador has notified the state department that Huerta has changed his mind, but did not give reason therefor.
 It is known that the mediators were urging Huerta's commits sioners to prevent the dictator from establishing a blockade and thus defeating mediation, being determined that nothing shall interfere with the success of the the conference. The pressure brought on Huerta is believed to indicate that the mediators will allow Carranza to enter the con- |ference on his own terms.

SK|DMORE MANAGES
 PHOENIX SKATING RINK
Popular Ex-Traffic Officer Now in
 Charge of Amusement Place.

Probably the most important an nouncement made in connection with the operation of the Phoenix Skating Rink since it's opening several months ago, is that of the selection of Will liam T. Skidmore, former traffic ot- ficer, for the position of manager o1 the popular amusement place. He has already assumed the duties of his position and is being greeted at the rink by his hundreds of old friends who are rejoiced to learn that in re- signing as traffic officer he has not been felt called upon to desert PhOe- nix.
 No more watchful, courteous of ficer was ever attached to the Phoe- nix police force. At Center and Washington streets he was ever upon the alert to prevent collisions, to see that the pedestrians observed traffic rules and that aged women or feeble men were escorted safely over the congested crossings.
 And now over the hundreds of boys and girls, young men and young women that are to be found at the rink every afternoon and evening" Manager Skidmore will exercise the same watchfulness and kindly inter- est. It has become a habit with him and in charge of the skating rink he will find it most valuable one.
 It is no small task to keep in order such crowds as gather at the Phoenix Skating Rink, even when those crowds are composed of the class of young ladies and young gentlemen as are to be found gliding over the smooth floor to the musis of the band. But MT Skidmore promises that there shall be no relaxation of vigilance and that high standard of the popu- lar amusement place will be rigidiy maintained

PRAISE GOLD DUST TWINS.
Illinois Woman Says Product Light
 ems Housework.

The fame of the Gold Dust Twins has spread so far and their regulations have become so general that almost ev- cry mail brings to the N. K. Fairbank company, Chicago, letters of praise from tired housewives who have light ened their houseWork with Gold Dust
 T want you to know and to thank you for your wonderful discovery of Gold Dust" said Mrs. Louis W. Batty. Hoopeston, H., in a recent letter to the Fairbank company. I could not keep house without it in my kitchen work, and washings are a hundred per cent lighter since using Gold Dust. When I first began keeping house I used all kinds of recipes for washing. but to no avail. 1 really thought I could never continue to do my washings under the old way of washing clothes until tried Gold Dust. Now my washings are done in half, yes, less than half the time and they are clean, too, and don't feel tired out as I did before. I often think that if you were going to stop making Gold Dust I would be tempted to lay in a great supply to last forever.
 T am really thankful for the Gold Dust Twins and recommend it when ever I have the opportunity. ."-Adver- tisement
