SHOP EARLY AND ALSO MALL
EARLY

Not only shop early, but mail your
packages early is the cry. The par
eel post business has increased so
enormously since last Christmas that
the postoffice department has had
all it could do to keep up with it..
The Christmas rush if everybody
waits until the the last moment, as
everybody is more than likely to do,
will probably oveutax the service and
everybody's Christmas will be there
by delayed. However, the appeal of
the shopkeepers to save the clerks
by early shopping, and of the post
master general to mail packages ear
lv, will reach some people every
where, and soma Christmas packages
will have an easy time to their des-
tination.

PHOENIX FOR PHOENIX.

In column editorial last Monday
the Arizona Gazette pointed out that
Arizons graeatest need at the presen
time is development of it's resources,
and called upon the legislature, the
officials and the citizens of the state
generally to get their shoulders to
realizing it, to act accordingly.
Granted that mining is one of the
states greatest resources, which was
the subject of the editorial referred
to, how about agriculture? The Ga
zette overlooked mentioning anything
about the development of our agri-
cultural resources, and this same
paper at the recent election was
strongly opposed to the state lending
it's credit for the construction of re-
clamation projects within the state,
advising its readers in Maricopa coun-
ty to vote against the state reclama-
tion act.
And Maricopa did wallop the meas
ure good and plenty by rolling up a
majority of nearly 1000 against it.
Nine other counties i'm the state gave
majority in favor of state reclama-
tion, and the one county i'm the state
which has advanced SO wonderfully
by reason of large reclamation pro-
ject voted against any otheer section
of the state enjoying similar de-
gree of prosperity and development.
If the people of Phoenix and Mar
icopa county had given the state re-
clamation bill an even break the
Parker project could have been con-
structed, thus adding many millions
of dollars to the valuation of the
state, as well as the production of
many more millions i'm farm products
annually.
However, there is a reason Phoe-
nix didn't desire to have any compe-
tition in the raising or marketing
of agricultural products. Thtat Sec
tion is amply provided for through
the kindness of the national govern
ment, and i'm the opinion of the Mar
icopans the balance of the state can
worry along the best they can and
contribute the lions share of their
earnings to the capital city.

Some idea of the great stream Of

END OF CARNEY MARRIAGE
LOOMS IN SIGHT

LOOMS IN SIGHT
The end of the marriage of B. G.
Garvey, general auditor of the Chi
cago Telephone Co., is in sight, fol-
lowing the filing of a petition by Mrs.
GarVey which is now on hearing be-
fore Master in Chancery Sigmund
Zeisler.
Although the trust papers have not
mentioned a word of it, the high
points of Mrs. Garvey's petition were
heard today.
The last few years of the couples
life has been a stormy one for both.
Mrs. Garvey was released from the
Kankakee insane asylum in 1908 and
since then their domestic relations
got into very badly tangled knot.
There are five children. Two of
them were in court; two girls, one
Is and the other 10. 1t is hard to de-
termine to which side they would
throw their support.
Mrs. Garvey charges that her hus-
band left her in 1910. They were liv-
ing then at the family home at 235 E.
Superior st. Mrs. Garvey lived there
alone for awhile after the telephone
official left. But finally unable to
stand the thousand memories of the
happy days she left the old home and
went to live at 221 E. Erie st., a block
away. Garvey then returned to the |
old home.
Several witnesses testified for Mrs. |
Garvey. They all spoke of her as
splendid woman; one whom her |
friends loved very much.
Deaconess Ruth Patterson, st. |
James M. E. church, testified to Mrs. |
Garvey's character and her intense |
love for all children. Two little girls, |
Lucille and Dorothy Vaughan, aged |
10 and II, gave a very pretty eulogy |
of the woman whose unhappiness
had eliminated in the divorce court.
Minnie E. Fourier also testified in

GENERAL PROBE TO BE MADE
INTO SECRET SOCIETIES
The board of education may take
up general investigation of secret
societies composed of both girls and
boys, which are said to exist in sew
eral Chicago high schools.
The insinuations made last week
that several members of a fraternity
were expelled from a high school be-
cause of orgies with young girls in
an extensively furnished fiat on the
South Side form the basis of the
proposed investigation.
One high school student, a son of
wealthy divorced parents, is said to
have been suspended when the police
of the Woodlawn station raided his
fiat and caught the youngster with
three girls.
This fiat is said to have been the
scene of many gay tango parties at
which booze flowed generously and
the parties in some instances were
continued until the "wee, sma'
hours" :
The students of the Hyde Park
high school who were suspended be-
cause they belonged to Greek letter
societies will have an opportunity to
explain their side of the case to the
school board this afternoon.
