COUNTY COURT MET.

Last Tuesday the county court met in
special session and was called for the pur-
pose of taking action on matter pertaining
to the pike road and pauper funds.
Some time last week, we understand,
work on the pike road was stopped by the
commissioners, so the court appointed a
committee to investigate all matters relat-
ing to it since its beginning.
J. F. Anderson and DR.. 5. ]. Spargo, OF
Ducktown, and NJ. C. Bacon, of Benton,
were appointed as a committee and gwen
full power to summon witnesses, examine
them and make report to the county
court.
There has been great deal of talk on all
sides about the pike road fund be-
ing overdrawn and charges of waste and
extravaganza. but it is not likely that any
thing of a serious nature will be found.
The men composing the commission are
men of probity and it is not likely that the
people will condemn them without the full
est proof.
The placing of two Democrats upon the
investigating committee precludes the idea
of there being any politics in it, and in
Justice to these gentlemen who have been
so outrageously malingned, we hope the
investigation will be as thorough as posi-
Bile,

pray that the heavenly evangel will carry
the message to some shipwrecked soul and
give it the anchor of hope, (Which is shed

INCREASING DEMAND
 FOR POPULAR DRINK

Poyce t& Creech have been doing good deal of late to alleviate thirst in Phoenix. Within a few months they have distributed thirteen car loads of Hopski Said MT. Boyce yesterday: "Blossoming out in popularity faster than its manufacturers ever dreamed of, the demand for Hopski has shatt- cred all records and it is conservative ly estimated that over two million peo- pie are now drinking it. Just sixty days after Hopski was first introduced, it was reported that over one million people had then indorsed it and at that time it was predicted by the manufac- turers of Hopski that within another sixty days, over two million people will have endorsed their drink. But so en- ormous has been the demand for Hop
 ski that the two million mark was at
 tained within forty days of it's predic-
 tion.
 The fact that Hopski effectively quenches the thirst and is unlike any other soft drink known, accounts in a degree for this unprecedented popular
 ity. It has body" to it; it has in it's preparation nothing but nutritious in gredients which insures it's healthful- ness and Wholesomeness In fact, Hop ski is far more salubriOus than soft drinks which are highly carbonated and contain chemicalized syrups. It is said the properties of Hopski make brawn and muscles as it contains a high per centage of the attractive substances and cereals-cooling and invigorating in its effect and extremely pleasing to the taste.
 The comprehensive distribution of Hopski has made it possible for people throughout Southern California and Arizona to be able to obtain and enjoy it, and the two million mark reached
 in so short a time is certainly signifi- cant of the great hit it has made"

Tempe News Notes
[ COMPANY OF TEMPE
 LARGEST IN 8 YEARS
Over Half Hundred Men Signed for Trip-Will be Ready for Start
 Tomorrow Morning

Company c Of Tempe will take more men to camp this year than any one time since 1908 according to a count of the enlisted members that was taken last evening. An even half hundred fellows have signed for the tour and now the armory where the fellows are outfittins themselves is the busiest place ever Uniforms have been issued and the appearance of the olive drab and khaki on the streets reminds the onIooker much of actual warfare.
 Captain A J. Mullen said yesterday that Company c was in the prime of condition for the tour. The extra num- Der of men this year will give the or ganization a strong start and the con- sistent drilling the fellows have gone though has well acquainted them with the actual duties of camp life. Close order and extended order have been worked into tip top shape and some time has been spent in the study of the routine of camp work.
 That c company will show up well at the Garden Canyon camp this year is certain. Outside of the organization work there are eight or ten of the crack riflemen of the company who have aained the expert records and who may remain after camp is struck to try out for the state rifle team.
