LARNED'S GREAT HISTORY OF
THE WORLD.
How to Get 1t With This Papers COu-
pOns.

President Wilson in a recent mes
sage to the National Educational
Association, in session at St. Paul, said
that nothing less than a comprehen-
sion of the national life is necessary
for teacher" By this means he is
enabled to think nationally and not
sectionally or locally. This is equally
true of all our citizenship, and the
only means of acquiring this compre-
hension is to know and understand
history. The work now being offered
by this paper to its readers is far and
away the best work of its kind. Its
division of history into logical epochs
that mark the boundary lines of the
different periods of the worlds pro-
gress, is stroke of genius. The mar
velous illustrations, both in colOrs and
half-tones, $50 OF them, the handsome
text, and the beautiful de luxe style
of binding, making the five volumes
the most attractive ever offered by
newspaper to its readers. Our coupon

Phoenix, Ariz Nov. 26.-Tax suits
filed by the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe Railroad company in the Arizona
counties Of Mohaye, Hayapai. Coconino,
Navajo and Apache have been with
drawn.
These suits were filed to contest the
valuations placed by the state board
of equalization upon the Santa Fe grant
lands in those counties The board de-
cided that the lands were worth from
IS cents to $3.50 an acre. The land de
partment of the company Claimed that

JEWETT RETURNS FROM SECOND LONGEST TRIP
Local Hudson Owner Pilots Big Six through California, Oregon and
 Washington this Summer

P. Ms JeWett, than whom there is no more consistent motorist in the Salt river valley, returned from his next longest tour yesterday, driving his Hudson big six.
 All the way to the state of Washing ton, the pleasant late summer roads have known that Phoenix car. And when it was pointed into this city yes terday, it looked as though it had been through the war of mud. Yet it was hitting along merrily, and as strong as when it started.
 Jewett won his mention in many a sport column year before last when he bucked the almost unknown trails of the Eorderland West Texas and the middle west to the Detroit home of the Hudson factory. That was his longest trip.
 But the tour just finished was no slouch. The speedometer registered in the neighborhood of 4,000 miles when he left, and it marks 10000 now.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISES

NEW YORK, Sept 28.-By reason of it's important bearing on the interna- tional money market, today's violent rises in foreign exchange on London overshadoWed all other financial de- VelOpments. Cables rose to 5.02 and demand sold at 5.01, each representing a gain of cents per pound sterling over Saturday and restoring rates to the highest quotations since the end of August. The s1OO,OOO,0OO gold pool was expected to relieve the exchange situation, but delay in the consumma- ton of that project added general con- fusion.
 Business in the western states holds steady as indicated by traffic returns. A significant development was the cas- fer tone of the money market in the middle west Money eased here and some four months and over the year loans were placed at seven per cent. London reported expansion of trading, while Paris and Rome advices indicat- ed the prolongation of the moratoriums in those centers.

New Sonora Government

DOUGLAS, Sept. 2S.-The personnel of the Sonora state government which Mexican leaders at Agua Prieta say will be formed under the leadership of Villa has been named. Aureliano Gonzales governor of Chihuahua, un- der Madero, is slated for the govern orship, while Jose Maytorena, the present governor, is to be state mili- tary commander, they say.
 When Col. P. Elias Gales arrived here today on his way from Mexico City to Naco, to be second in com mand under General Gil, who was defeated last week by Maytorena' s troops, the Agua Prieta garrison inn 'mediately began digging a series of trenches around the town. This gave rise to the report that GiIs troops, if defeated at Naco intended to re- treat twenty-five miles and make their final stand opposite Douglas. It is also reported that 5000 Yaquis are mobiliZing at Cruz De Piedra, near Guaymas, for movement to recover their former tribal holdings They are said to express confidence that the Yaquis of Maytorena's army
 will join them later.

Browne has the reputation of pro- ducing the best drilled, most cleverly costumed and artistically staged tab Ibid musical comedy in the country and the vehicle chosen to inaugurate the Phoenix theatrical season, "A Visit to the Pasha'-emphasizes the beautiful and elaborate effects for which the company is noted
 The best evidence of our faith in the Boutwell, Browne company is the fact that we have gone to the eX- pense we have in bringing it to Phoenix" said J. D. Glass, manager of the Columbia last evening. Com ing direct from the Majestic in San Francisco to the Columbia is one of the longest and most expensive jumps in the history of local theatrical en- terprise. Fourteen round trip fares and baggage car of scenery and costumes made an inroad of $S6S 40 on the Columbia treasury. It is a speculation of course, but we believe it is going to be worth while for it will give the city high class musi- cal show at ridiculously low prices. We were advised to advance our prices but after considerable thought decided not to change the present popular policy It's trial and Phoenix is to be the judge and jury

COUNTY MAY ASSIST IN
 DONATION TO STATE FAIR
If Legal Means is Found Whereby This
 May be Done

If a legal means can be discovered or devised whereby Maricopa county can assist Phoenix in donating $6.500 for the Arizona state fair, that means Will probably be adopted. This much was practically agreed upon at a luncheon yesterday noon upon the roof garden ot the Arizona club, at which were present the county supervisors, the executive committee of the board of trade and several representative business men. It was the unanimous sentiment that the county should assist in this matter, but the stumbling block was found in the inability of the supervisors or any body else to present a plan whereby this could be done under the law.
 That every portion of Maricopa coun- tv benefits quite as much as Phoenix from the state fair was the expressed belief of those attending the luncheon. Six and one-half cents on each $1,0O0 valuation would provide the $6,5OO. The city of Phoenix, through her citi- zens would probably raise good DOT ton of the proposed s6,500, say one half. Three and one-quarter cents on each $1,0OO valuation would furnish the balance.
 The outcome of the meeting was the appointment of a committee to confer with Phoenix lawyers in an effort to find out if there is not some way In which the supervisors could not make a substantial donation. The board of trade is also pledged to consult with the commercial bodies in Tempe, Mesa, Chandler and other places in an effort to secure donations.
