 business. His sign read: This is the place to get your home. The gov

That is one way to look at it, and should be borne in mind when hearing men roast the recla- nation service and when the people complain about the cost per acre.

Getting The Best Out Of
 Salt River Valley Publicity

Among the thousands of Phoenix people who are enthusiastic about the benefits the Salt River Valley is deriving from The Republicans spe- cial edition recently issued. is R. H. Green of the Home Builders. MT. Greene said yesterday that he had received over twenty-five letters from eastern men to whom he had sent copies of the paper, each man eX- pressing great interest in the Salt River Valley, as a result of the in- formation they got from the special edition.
 Yesterday MT. Greene received the following letter from Elliott Lee, president of the Anderson Loan As sociation of Anderson, Indiana, a concern of many million dollars, and the Doctor Stewart mentioned in the letter, as well as MT. Lee, are stock holders in the Phoenix Home Build CTS MT. Lee has made several trips to the Salt River Valley.
 The letter in question follows:

 Dear Mir Greene: Your paper and letter received. Please accept thanks.

worth as it is called; that is to say, if you figure on the saving of inter est at per cent. for twenty years, you will find that a $3O water right will only cost about $13.2O. To illus
 trate in another way. Take 90 acres at $50. $500. You can put that into a bank and let it draw interest, re- Gepositing the interest at the end of every year for 20 years, at the same time keeping up your annual water right payments; you can pay for the S3O water right and have somewhere between s12O0 and $1,4GO left in the bank. Considering these facts, it should therefore be remembered that even though the service may occa- sionally make mistakes in the ad
 ministration of affairs. many benefits and advantages are presented to off
 set such mistakes as they may occur.

I read it over carefully, and now the third party has it. It's certainly a fine write-up for your city and the great Salt River Valley. 1 think more of it all the time. l feel you citizens don't realize and appreciate the great advantages you have. Many people ask me about Phoenix, etc l tell them it's the garden spot of the United States. Some that have been there and returned have told others I did not OVerestimate the ad- vantages of that country. pr. and Mrs. Stewart intend leaving here on the Sth for the west. They will make a short stop at the Grand Canyon and then to Phoenix. 1 think they should reach there by the 18th or 14th. If it should be real warm they will not stop long in your city. If convenient, show him some of your city and valley. His word and judg- ment is A-No. 1 here.
 Our business has been a little quiet of late. Thanking you again for the paper, I am,
 Respectfully yours,

SOME HELPFUL HINTS

Roses Of all kinds should be thor
oughly MANFRED with well-rotted COW
manure and mulched with lawn cut
tings and leaves.
Liquid manure should be applied
only when the ground Is moist enough
to absorb it.
1t is fatal to some plants to fertilize
them with rich manure when the
ground Is very dry.
Never allow roses to remain on the
bush until the petals begin to fall.
All plants that are intended for win.
ter boomers should have the buds
pinched of now.
Pick the pansies and nasturtiums
every day il you want to have plenty
of bloom.

making such growth do not make use
of the fertilizers.
It is one Of the hardest things
know of to make an enthusiastic ANA
teur plant grower satisfied to "let we'll
enough alone" She Is constantly
wanting to urge her pets on little
faster, and in her efforts to do this
she gives them more food than they
can digest, and the consequence is
o breakdown from oversttmulation
nine times out of ten.
A plant that does not get as much
food as it can make good use Of, will
give vastly greater satisfaction in the
long run, than the plant that gets so
much food that it doesn't know what
to do with it.
Some persons are uuder the impress
sion that all plants for winter use must
be young ones. Such is not the case,
however. Year-old plants, as gen.
eral thing, are much preferable to the
young ones.
There are exceptions as in the case
of Chinese primroses, Primula obconi-
ca and others of habit similar, In
some respects to our ANNALS: but for
the majority of plants adapted to
house culture like geraniums, hello
tropes, begonias, ADDITIONS, asparagus
in variety and carnations, older plants
should always be chosen.
This summer I start the geraniums
which intend to depend upon for win.
ter flowers a year from the coming
winter. These will bloom some this
winter II l let them, but l shall hold
them in check to . great extent for
future service ,-.- ,a~ .~e- -s -
\ The person who breaches young
plants for winter Towering" to you
does not take into consideration the
fact that a plant started this season
from a cutting will have but few
branches by winter, and plant that
has but few branches cannot give
many flowers because ample Towering
surface means many branches.
Therefore, instead Of letting the &c,
raniums you start this summer bios
som in the winter, keep pinching them
back to produce a sufficient number
of branches to give the desired
amount Of Towering surface.
The more branches there are the
more flowers you may expect.
Cut your ferns apart now and use
each division of the roots that has a
piece OF crown attached as the basis
of a new plant. Use leaf mold or
turfy loan for this class of plants, If
obtainable.
Hanging baskets should receive at
teution at once.

cayenne pepper, cocoanut, milk and

fruits. Rice and chutney are an invart'
able accompaniment to curry. One
of the most important things to re-
member in using the prepared curry
is to cook 1t with the ingredients. or

utes, then turn In the chicken. Cover
and allow to simmer fifteen minutes.

good with cold meats and makes an
agreeable change in serving them.

Cover with a rich crust and bake. 10
keep the juice from overlooking, put
paper cone into the opening. The

Are Not Really Wasted.
Is 1t any wonder that the ammu.
milton bill Is big and that results do
not measure up to it? 1t must be re-
membered, however, that the constant
dropping Of shells keeps the morale Of
the foemen down and that when it is
said that the shots are wasted the
words do not express the full truth.
One of the most interesting things
which l saw on the battle front in
France, was the attempt Of French
battery to bring down" a captive bal
loon which the Germans had sent up
from their lines for observation pur-
poses. The two Germans In the bas-
ket Of that balloon must have been
men of magnificent nerve. The range
was not long one and the first
French shells burst at some distance
from the balloon. Gradually, how
ever. the shots began getting nearer
and nearer to the mark, but the bal
loonists with their lives in their hands
went on taking their observation amid
a rain of projectiles until apparently
the commanding officer on the ground
below ordered that they should be
pulled down to a place Of safety.
The men who go up in the air to
fight, whether they be Englishmen,
Frenchmen, Belgians, Germans, Rus
slams, Turks or Italians, are perhaps
the transcending heroes of this war.
