siderable merit.

HOW 70 GET STRENGTH

after any sickness Is purely matter Of
nourishment, whether the attack was
an ordinary cold or severe illness; the
weakened forces cannot repu1se disease

often fatal or why chronic weakness often
follows sickness.
Restoring strength to millions of people
Tor forty years has proven the real need
Tor taking Scott's Emulsion after any
sickness; nothing equals it nothing
compares with It. Its pure, medicinal
nourishment, free from alcohol or opiates,
promptly creates rich blood, strengthens
the nerves and lungs to avert tuberculosis.

115.OOO.OOO Christmas
RED CROSS SEALS ON sale

Few people have any conception of
the magnitude of the Red Cross
Christmas Seal Campaign. Here are
few figures that will show what
gigantic movement this is. Already
115,O00,000 seals have been printed,
and practically that entire number
distributed to agents in almost every
State of the Union. Probably 15,000.-
600 more will be needed Advertising
circulars. posters, cards, etc, to the
number of several millions have also
been distributed. It is estimated that
the army of paid and volunteer work
ers engaged in selling the seals num-
Der well over 100000. The advertis-
ing and publicity donated to the cam
paign amount to seevral hun
dred thousand dollars. Every effort
is heing put forth TO sell 100000,000
seals, or about one for every man,
woman and child in the United States.

RAIN ON THE ROOF
 GAVE MUSICIAN A HINT

Since Mittelburger, the German
 musician, while sleeping under roo1
 of cedar shingles in Philadelphia, lbo
 years ago. was entranced with the
 resonance produced by rain drops
 falling on the shingles, until this time
 wood has held an indisputable place
 in the manufacture of musical instru- ments. Mittelburger's first work un-
 der his theory that wood was more
 musical than metal was when he built a pipe organ-the first in Amerlca-
 with the pipes of southern white
 cedar, the same wood which had
 charmed his ear while he listened to
 the rain on the roof.
 The superlative quality of spruce as
 material for sounding boards IS due
 to the long, straight, regular flbers of which the wood is composed. The
 microscope reveals what the unaided eve cannot see The minute cells forming the wood are extremely long full one hundred times as long as their diameter measurement-ahd taut string. Although these cells, all lying lengtnWlSe or the Woou' "iO packed and stretched closely, side by side. there is room for vibration when they are struck.
 All woods posses this quality ot resonance, but in vastly different de- grees. Some are dull and nearly dead 1 others emit tones quick and sharp, and still others give out sounds that continue a long time and gradually die away as if vanishing in the dis | tance. Spruce is of the latter kind. 1 Wood possesses resonance, metal | has ring That may not wholly con- | form to dictionary definitions, but II classifies the two materials pretty accurately. The singing of d tghtly stretched telephone wire across an open field in the autumn wind IS a
 most pleasing melody to one who has an ear for the delicacy of the simpler sounds But how much softer and melodous that singing wire becomes 1 if the ear is pressed against the tel ephone pole, so that the vibrations come through the wood to reach the ear. instead of directly from the wire.

6. R. '. EXHIBIT F0R DRY FARM
 CONGRESSES vI4H
Carload Display to Be Sent from Here-Live Delega- :. tion of Boosters Will
 Visit Wichita and Wake
 Up Folks

It is the intention of valley boosters to be represented at the Dry Farming Congress which meets at Wichita, Kan, this year, in manner that will leave the delegates that visit that thriving Kansas town cause to re- member Arizona for many long day At present George T. Peabody, county commissioner for the Arizona state fair, and Secretary Harry Welch of the board of trade, with the secretary of the Salt River Valley Cotton Crow CTS association, will constitute the delegation from this section.
 The convention opens on October ', and will be held in connection with the fourth annual Wichita exposition and the International Congress of Farm Women All this is expected to take to the home of Congressman Vic tor Murdock a large number of prom inent men and women from those sec tions of the United States that are more greatly indebted to the work of the pioneers of the present genera . tion and the one immediately preced- ing it, than any other section of the United States.
 A car will be provided for the shipment of exhibits, and It will be available from September 26 to 2S at the Santa Fe depot in Phoenix. After that it will proceed north, taking Tn the cities of Prescott Flagstaff, Hol- brook. leaving Holbrook on October thus giving plenty of opportunity to get to Wichita before october 6, when the entries will close. All eX- hibits sent should be perfectly dry and crated and boxed so as not to spoil. The car has minimum capac- ity of 25,000 pounds.
 One of the great features of the congress will be the discussion on the subject of the conservation o1 water-lessons applied to irrigated countries that have proven helpful m countries where dry farming is as siduously practiced. There will De many sorts of exhibits from every section of the country most interested as well as numerous live stock eX- hibits. It is likely that Frank Reed Sanders with his great prize herds of Guernsey and Dutch belted cattle will be on hand to take down the prizes for the cattle in those classes

GOOD PAIGE TO 60 AFTER
 SEEING CIRCUS PARADE

This is Mothers Day at Riverside park, It is circus day and school holi- day too, and after the parade is over mothers will find the park a splendid place to take the children, away from the crowds and dust and heat The swimming pool will be full of water all day and the swimming right now is es- pecially attractive. There will be no charge at the gate for children under fifteen or women up to five o'clock in the afternoon and the special bathing rate Of fifteen cents will be in force for women and children until that hour
 While the big pool will be full all day today, there will be no swimming tomorrow until late in the afternoon. On that day it will get fresh coat of cement in every nook and cranny of it's walls and bottom and be the same as new all over again. The pool receives this coat of cement paint once every month in addition to the scrub pings II gets twice each week and un- der ordinary circumstances it would have occurred today; but on account of the large crowds that will be in town for the circus and the probability that they will want to take advantage of the swimming, pool after the heat and dust of the parade and the per formance, the painting will take place on Tuesday in order to accommodate them
 There will be dancing as usual to- night and every night except Sunday. The cool autumn evenings, the spen- did floor of the big pavilion and Ben Massies orchestra make a combination that appeals to all dance lovers and makes the dance pavilion the most popular part Of the park in the even ings.
 Owners of wild horses either in the valley or on the range are requested to communicate with the Riverside Park company either at 21 North First ave- nue or the park. phones 1888 or 1086 and the company will be glad to re- ceive any such horses for breaking purposes. The sooner the horses are received the better and they will be ridden.

Iply to one written by George F. Rinehart inquiring if the president had expressed such views on the sub ject of prohibition as had been at tributed to him in the Royal Arch advertising. The letter was from
 MT. Tumulty, the presidents secre- tary, enclosing a copy of a letter the president had written on that sub ject in which no mention was made of prohibition. The president had
 merely deprecated the making of To- cal option a political issue.
 l MT Hall urged all friends of tenn perance to vote for the prohibition amendment, but that was not all they should do if they expected victory. They must vote No" against the so- called nome rule" amendment pro viding that prohibition election
 might be held once in every eight years. Said he: Every wet vote in
 Arizona will be Yes on that amend
 ment and every dry vote should be mo- It is almost as important to de-
 feat the eight year or home rule amendment as it is to adopt the pre- hibition amendment"
 I MT. Hall announced that next Sun cay at the same hour and place 1 Phoenix Day. would be observed and on the following Sunday, Tue sen Day.
 Meantime residents of Mesa were arriving but the rest of the choir, in cluding the choir leader had not come. Word was brought that the automobile in which they and the speakers were travelling had had an accident this side of Tempe.
