A Fact You Can't Get Away From.

A Fact You Can't Get Away From.
The only way in this world to make
a community rich and prosperous is
to promote trade in it, both produc-
ing and consuming. The nearer the
consumer is to the producer the bet
ter both are off, and this takes cog
nizanee of the fact that every living
man is in some of his aspects a pro-
Gucer and in others consumer.
Town and community are not made
prosperous BIZ the money that is. sent
] away. but by the money that is
spent at home. The best possible
way, in fact the only practicable way
to make this community more pros
porous is to make it more populous;
we must have more people right here
to consume what we produce and
sell. So far as the wealth and pros
perity of the community are CON
cerned, they will be promoted as di-
rect1y by the purchase and consump-
tion Of what is sold as by the con
sumption Of what is produced here.
In other words, things must be
bought here and the money produced
In the community must be spent and
used here if the community is to
prosper as it should.

twenty and she seventeen. Their
families were wealthy, but the heads
of the same in both business and So

their incipiency when he discovered
that Marah had engaged herself to
Earle. The father of the latter sat
down upon the glowing hopes of his
impressionable son ponderously.
Marah was kept practically pris-

pending shipment to some isolated
relative at distance. Earle was or

WAR PROPHECY

The literary men of the belHgerent nations have already mobized for the war; the prophets gath ering their clans.
 First comes the celebrated Madame de Thebes, whose daily ohore Is foreenng the fate kings and the doom of empires After devotng little prophetic attention to the Kaiser she announces:
 William II will die mad and a physical wreck. The Grown Prince will die by the hands of an as. sassin These two deaths will end the Hohenzol- Ierns"
 Its all plain as print The Kaiser has it written in his right hand as the seeress discovers plss cast of it. The head line" while broad and well marked, indicating rare intelligence turns off two thirds of the way down to the mountain of the moon, which is an evident sign of insanity" As for Prince Friedrich both his hands "bear undoubted signs of a violent death" His horoscope, too is against him "the day and hour he was born both under fatal influences
 So much fer the reigning family As for the German nation we infer its from C,is astrological terance

 Now let us hear from the German seers. Surely they win suffer themselves to be outdone in patriot. prophecy by a French
 But even better plan suggests itself If it's tn, stars that fighting this war, and the fate of tho nation is written in the rulers hands why shouldn' the warng powers round up their astrologers an, ralmsts and send them the Hague to thrash it out agreeing to abide by the result?

 John Hutchins returned Sunday from a trial run over the road, during which he carefully inspected every crook and turn between this city and Phoenix. and reports that the road is a much faster course than last sea son and predicts that the race will be run this season in better time than ever before.
 The race for the present season has every appearance of being an eX- citing enc. The cars entered are all fast and piloted by daring men, who, with the experience attained from past performances. expect 10 break all previous records for desert runs Several wasers were made yester- day one man placing a bet of $450 against $500 that the time for this season would be reduced by an ever i age of two miles per hour, which would make the running time average | about 31 miles per hour. Lew Gasser, who will be at the wheel of the Bear ! Cat Sutz, is authority for the state. ment that the race will be run in 1 bitter time than ever before passing his opinion on the fact that everyone will be more familiar with the roads
 and for the further reason that the
 machines entered are of a more pow ariul type than last year
 It is said that the El Paso party
 accompanying the racers by train ! will exceed in number that of last
