MY Dear Sir: | noticed in one
OF the newspapers of the state YES
terday that the pensions of Confed-
crate veterans had been increased to
$4,000 pear year. AS the widows
OF those veerans who enlisted in the
State of Florida now receive a quar-

this increase has reference to those
widows, residents of the State of
FLORIDA, whose husbands did not en-
list In said state | will be glad if
YOU will advise me as to the facts in
the case, and, if true, how soon same
Will become operative. l trust that
the report is based upon fact as
many OF those now drawing a pen

to earn livelihood, and depend in
some cases almost entirely upon
their pensions for support.
Yours most truly,

is disheartening to think of the hugo

South Florida this year for which
the grower will get but scant profit

necessity for cooperation as the
only remedy.

Dear Sherman
So much has been said and written
about the Great Panama-Pacific Ex-
position, which has been in progress
here since Feb 20, 1915, and which
has now reached almost midway in
the period during which will exist,
that a description of it at this time
would not, perhaps, be of great inter
est to your readers; but hurried
glance at a few of its features may be
worth while. -

 The adjutant general in his recom- mendations has asked for $30 ,000 % for a state armory at Phoenix. This is the least sum that will build a suitable ar mory for the number of organizations now in the service and this building must be built or the state will lose not only the thousand of dollars that are received each year from the federal government but will also lose the ma jority of the S125,000.00 worth of fed eraI property now in the state.

RAIN NWETSFISH
 AT CITY HALL
Complaint Made That Fish Commissioner Elsie Per mits Finny Beauties to Be Unprotected During Yesterdays Downporur

Complaint was made yesterday to
 City Fish Commissioner Ed Elsie of
 the shameful neglect of the gold fish
 in the fountain pool in the city hall plaza. Throughout the entire day, while rain fell in abundance, the helpless fish in the pool were sub iected to the downpour without any effort being made to protect them As a result Of the thorough wetting they received several of the shining
 beauties last evening presented pro- nOunced symptoms of pneumonia ! and the city fishician and scales in spector were obliged to spend several hours in dosing them with quinine and applying hot mustard baths. 1 Unless Commissioner Elsie gives closer attention to the duties of his
 office, it is understood that Joseph
 Porterie will circulate a petition ask 1 ing that he resign in his favor Friends of Porterie, who previous to
 the appointment of Elsie, and even ! since. was a candidate for the office,
 say they will back Portere at every
 stage of the game. They point with much feeling 10 the very evident de- lreliotion of duty yesterday on the
 part of Elsie, who though he may
 bahe good bread, they feel lacks those very necessary talents which
 go to make q successful fish com-
 of Phoenix.
 Further objection is made to Elsie
 on the ground that he recently is-
 sued an order to his assistant, Tom Il Boyle, that he was thereafter to feed
 the fish no other bread than that concocted in the Elsie bakery This, q it is cohtended, is in restraint of |, trade and therefore a violation of the ] General Sherman act. They feel, too, ] that drinking water for the fish should not be served to them through a rubber garden hose. but that there should be installed a suitable ice cooler, and that the bathing water for the finny prOteges of the city should be warmed as is the water ir the pools at the Y. M. c. A.
 1 Unless Elsie is content to permit himself the humiliation of seeing his lifelong enemy, POrterie, comfort ably installed in the highest office within the gift of his and Porterie'. constituents. he would do well to se- cure a suitable tent to be erected over the city plaza fountain pool il ! rainy weather, rescind his order abou ! the bread and attend to those othe ! suggestions herein set forth

PAID IN FULL | COLUMBIA BILL
The Story of Everyday Life Run
 hing at the Popular Theater.

Eugene Walters story of everyday life, Paid in Full' was the offering at the Columbia on Thursday night ard found expression in one of the best productions since the company arrived in Phoenix.
 Ben Erway in the part of the weak Brooks gave a fine perfor- | nance of the clerk who curses his fate and finally falls to temptation and takes that which does not be- | long to him. It is the best part Mr | Erway has had in the several bills and he handles it cleverly. Miss Higgins as the wife was as ever | her charming self, while Roscoe
 Karns as "Jimsey" the friend of the
 family gave a good conception of
 the peace maker who finally wins the wife who is mistreated
 | MT. Metcalf as the Captain was
 at home in part that gives that 1 fine actor a spendid chance to show
 lis metal and he acquitted himself with plenty to spare.
 The rest of the cast is in capable l hands. It is perhaps safe to say that Paid in Fur has not received in stock a prettier production than MT. Redmond has seen fit to serve as the added feature of the show The
 den of the retired sea captain takes
 one to the shore and fairly reeked with breath from the salt sea The
 wonder of a set in which so many ship relics thus far from the coast I.
 production is marked by it's fidelity
 and detail and is sure to be voted a I credit to the Redmond reputation.
