PROLOGUE.

Nowhere has Booth Tar
kington done such finished,
exquisite work as in this
story of boyhood. The full
flavor of his story is not
only for the grown man or
woman, but for any one who
enjoys the comic muse. 1t
is a picture of boys heart,
full of those lovable, hu-
morous, tragic things which
are locked secrets to older
folks unless one has the gift
of understanding. Booth
Harrington has it en,inently
and "Penrod" will stand as
a classic Interpretation of

is a great desideratum with the breed
and many devices are restorted to to
attain It. Some breeders place the

their necks and legs and bodies 10 the

boards around their Yards so high that
the birds must stand erect to see out,

The female is very beautiful but I'M
Obtrusive in her soft gray plumages
while the male with his rich greenlsn
black and silvery white plumage and

Much stress is laid on the smallness
Of bantams and the weights set as
standard for males are 20 to p ounces;
for females IS to 20 ounces. To hold
them to these weights breeders resort

Phoenix. Ariz., Nov 11.-School land
1essees OF the salt river valley are
protesting against the valuations placed
on their holdings by the appraisal
board representing the state land de-
partment. They will probably file a
test case IN the Maricopa county su-
perior court to prove that the valua-
tons fixed by the board, particularly
on water rights, are entirely too high
At a meeting OF the lessees' associa-
ton the matter was discussed thor
oughly. It was apparent that the dis
satisfaction extends to all parts OF the
valley where the appraisers have been
at work. The statement was made
that not one lessee was satisfied.
Many Of the lessees also complain
that the valuations fixed on their i'm
provements are as low as the figures

what proportion OF the population
in the territory they serve has come
into their store within the past
three months .
VERY few of them, in reply to this
Question, claim that any large pro-
portion of the population has come
into the store A few may say they
have had 10 per cent OF the people.
Many would admit not over 4 per
cent OF the people had been In the {
store during that period. In many
cases the proportion would be away
below 1 per cent.

of the people going to have any idea
