PRAYER OF AN OLD ENGINEER

A piOuS old engineer on the Erie Railroad at Susquehanna used to say his prayers aloud in the Young Mems Christian Association rooms before starting on q trip. An inquisitive stem ographer listened one evening to this Godfearing man and wrote down in his notebook the earnest petition which is reproduced below:
 70 Lord. now that I have flagged Thee, lift up my feet from the rough road of life and plant them safely on the deck of the train of salvation. Let me use the safety lamp known as pru- dence make all couplings in the train with the strong link of Thy love, and let my hand lamp be the Bible And, Heavenly Father, keep all switches closed that lead off on sidings espec- ;allv those with blind end. O Lord. if 1t be Thy pleasure, have every sema- phore block along the line show the white light of hope, that l may make the run of life without stopping. And, Lord. give us the Ten Comma ndments for schedule; and when l have fin ished the run on schedule time end pulled into the dark station of death. may Thou, the superintendent of the universe, say: Well done, thou good and faithful servant; come and sign the pay roll. and receive your check for eternal happiness Railway and To- comotive Engineering

MESA
MIDSUMMER SHOW Of
 AGRICULTURAL THINGS
Plan to be Outlined Tuesday at Meet ing of the Mesa Poultry and
 Pet Stock Assoc iation

There is a movement on foot among
 the ranchers and business men for
 q mid summer exhibit of agricultural products of the Mesa section. The
 production is fashioned after the old time county fair in that list ot
 prizes will be offered for the best
 exhibit of any particular kind of ve-
 getable or of any kind Of particular produce grown in the fields or gar dens.
 The splendid success of the chicken show held at this place during the last week in January mas led to the proposal of a plan to feature an
 agricultural exhibit along similar lines. Nothing of this kind has ever been held in the Mesa section, that is which has been distinctly Mesa exhibit and it is believed that il will become d very popular affair. The matter as yet has not been placed before the Commercial Gun but it is believed by the promoters
 that the local organization will glad ly assist in it for it is distinctively within the field of the Commercial Club. Il will be an incentive to the club for the reason that it will fur nish splendid display and one which will bring out the very best pro- ducts that can be produced in the
 Mesa section. The arrangements wiil probably be made for the organiza ton to retain the products so that they may be taken from here to the state fair at Phoenix and thereby serve a dual purpose.
 There are a number of local en- i thusiaStS over the agricultural re- sources who are ready to assist ma terially with the proposition and l, is safe to say that it will at least be attempted.
 The matter will he take up at the conclusion of the meeting of the Mesa Pet Stock and Poultry Associa ton on Tuesday evening at the town l hall at which time the premiums fol | the prize exhibits of the chicko [ show will be given out.

TEMPE
GREAT DISPLAY OF
 OLD TIME ARTICLES
Art and Loan Exhibit Conducted by
 Woman's Club, Brilliant Affair

Undoubtedly no greater event has been conducted in the history of the Tempe Womans Club than the Art and LOar Exhibit held at the club room in the Olive hotel Sa- turday afternoon and evening. It Is estimated that over q thousand ar ticles were included in the display and there was an interesting tale to tell to everyone There were re- lies from practically every country in the universe and every age within the last three hundred years and in instances even d longer time was represented The exhibition was truly d rare and interesting event and though several hundred people vii sited the hall during the afternoon the attention of many times that number, particularly in consideration of the nominal admission fee the la dies were charging.
 Particularly interesting and unusual about the exhibition was the pres
  average person would never have thought existed There was a con cordance to the Holy Bible. over two hundred years old hand propelled sewing machine, the earliest machine of that class and which is nov close 10 three hundred years of age. An other interesting article was a Sy- rian gown worn from that old coun- try to Spain fourteen years ago by k. T. Hyder of Tempe, when he made his first trip to the United ! States. Another was an ancient
 hour glass, that has been in the W. b. Parker family for over 250 years Still another was the hand made i shawl woven in a convent in Spain
 and imported to Mexico at the time , of the Maximlian.
 There were hundreds and hun
 dreds of other articles on display 1 equally as interesting that those who l visited the exhibition enjoyed tht { novelty of seeing
 ] There has been suggestion with ! the Womans club that the Art and
 Loan Exhibition be made an annual . event and surely if such is to be the ] case. the club will meet with the i highest success, if the future affairs
 are to be in any wise similar to the irecent display.

 foot tracks measuring nearly d foot , in length. In the street in front of i the store were traces of blood show l ing that the man in breaking the glass had evidently cut his arm.

The sixteen inch well which has been put down on the Dr. F. w. Wilburn desert tract of land six miles east of Mesa was bored to a depth of 325 feet Friday and the rig disman = tied and will be moved to a new To- cation. The well has splendid flow of water which is believed to be in exhaustible While no test pump has been put on the well, yet the manner in which the water rose ofrer pene- trating the sand has led the drill CTS who were in charge to believe the vein is an extra strong one The machinery including a complete pump ing plant has been received and will be installed in the very near future. Dr. and Mrs. Wilbur, MT. and Mrs. Dorman and Mir. and Mrs. Tweedy who have desert claims, together control practically two thousand acres of land and the plan includes the development of a portion of this tract at this time Nearly fifty Indians have been on the land for a week and have practically cleared a half section of the land which can easily be placed in cultivation.

the State, but forbids any person bringing any pheasant into the State. They say that law was passed to increase the num- Der of New York pheasants Another law is that of Indiana. which permits the rear ing and sale of pheasants, but forbids any railroad or express company to accept them for shipment. The asininity of such laws is self-evident
 While the ringneck pheasant in strange country and in all it's different climates has thriven because 1t has been raised by private parties as a business enterprise, the prairie chicken, native grouse. quail and other native game birds have been almost exterminated by disease, natural enemies, rodents and the gradual thickening of the human population which destroys their feeding and hiding places
 Give private parties the right to rear quail as a business and the interested persons will protect. feed and care for them, and as consequence they will multiply. They will be reared and fre- quently sold to clubs and individuals who will liberate them for stocking purposes. Private and State hatcheries make possi- ble the restocking of our fishing grounds.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-05-02

THE Game Bird Society of the United
 States is urging the passage of this
 very sensible new game law:
 That all birds and animals reared
 or bred in captivity shall be consid-
 cred domestic stock, and the owner or
 raiser thereof may keep, sell, ship,
 transport or otherwise dispose of
 them, and such stock shall not be af-
 fected or covered by any laws pro-
 hibiting or regulating the killing or disposition of birds and animals of
 the game kind grown or propagated in
 a wild state."
 In support of the intelligence Of such a law the society points out that of the eggs of quail set by the birds in wild state e1 per cent hatch. Of the eggs of the same bird matched in captivity on private game farms 72 per cent hatch Of the birds matched in the wild state, IS per cent attain maturity. Of the eggs matched in private preserves, GA per cent mature. These figures are taken from one hundred and seven observations made in the years 1908. 1909. 1910, 1911, 1912, 1913 and 1914. These figures can be amplified by the statement of the observers, part of

It should be comfortable for drawing room wear or suitable for walking.
 Tt is a difficult problem we have set, yes. But it is not impossible. I have faith in the cleverness of designers. think some American will give a design for such costume and earn the gratitude of all women, compared with which the $150 prize is bagetelle."
 Upon Mrs. Rose O'Neill Wilson, the gifted and beautiful artist who originated the kewpies, and who has recently given the world the newest fad, which is a Mer kewp,"' a kewpie of the semblance of mermaid, with which It is the fashion to bathe, has fallen the committee's choice of one who shall judge of the artistic mer- it's of the sketches. While Miss O'Neill will pass upon the beauty of the sketches, her colleagues of the committee, Mrs. A. N. Palmer Miss Florence Guernsey and Mrs. Mildred ,Tohnstone Landone, the originator of the idea, will contribute their ideas and votes on the matter of utility as well as beauty
 "A garment may be beautiful as well as useful" is ray of hope shed by the fa- nous artist. We must not assume that to be durable costume must be ugly"
 Another ray of hope. "A garment need not be made of expensive material to be beautiful Some lovely stuffs now cost ten cents or less a yard.
 HIS luONSIUeUL lOT u uulFoTSAl 6hI- ment Is one of the worthiest outgrowths of women's liberty of thought. It Is step toward stopping the enormous waste in dress, the waste of strength, of time of nervous force and so of life.
 "The clothes we have been wearing have imprisoned our waists and ankles. They have squandered our time and nervous force by endless intricacies of fastenings. Why does 1t take a man so short time to dress and woman so long? For in- stance, have you watched man stalk angrily about the beach at the seashore waiting for his wife to disrobe herself and get into her bathing costume, or after the bath attire herself for more conventional appearance? It is because she does not get into her garments in the same way, and when she has gotten into them has to daily with innumerable contrivances for keeping the garments on.

 Universal Gown Women.
MOVEMENT to secure model gown N suitable for all day and evening

A MOVEMENT to secure a model gown, A suitable for all day and evening wear. and adapted to the needs of the majority of women has been started by committee of prominent club women of New York.
 The movement in this necessary and laudable direction bears the name. the Polymuriel Prize Fund. The originator of the idea has given to 1t the combined names of her two daughters, Polly and Muriel. The chairman of the committee of clubwomen having the matter in charge is Mrs. A. M. Palmer, president of the Rainy Day Club. the organization to whose credit may be set down the sane practice which has saved the lives of many Amer ican women and assured the health and lives of their children, that of wearing sufficiently short skirts on days of storm.
 The committee has set practically and efficiently about It's task, for it has placed in the bank $50 to be awarded to who- ever will furnish design for costume fulfilling it's requirements./ It foreshad- ows the prizewinning gown in the sentence We desire an universal gown for women, one showing the strongest combination of beauty, comfort, simplicity and dura- bility." Mrs. A. M. Palmer, who has been termed "The Mother of the Rainy Day Skirt" outlines the committees plan in these words:
 Buslness women, professional women, busy women of most sorts have long need ed frock that they could wear to an office or business meeting and in which they could also arfear suitably attred at luncheon, ;naiiree or an afternoo z reception.
 My own- dlass tha H5 garment should be built urod simple ms. It should pre- ferably corstst cf piece. It's silhou- cite shoe nor i0 strongly suggest an umhrs'ls]. a knit z, needle an hour glass . D5rs id inV ed or otherwise, or other Of thI scona 1c forms into which women laygf from lime to time tortured their E. sfes
 f1t should be neither so scant nor so Tc,.minous that it will be grotesdue. It should be a design that could be adapted tc the tall or the short. the stout or the slender woman, the old and the young. It should be suitable for light or heavy materials according to season or weather.
