heart to mercy and self-sacrifice. Still
her hands shook as she carried the
orangeade and the sandwiches up to
Celestia, and her voice shook as she
said:
There, dearie, eat, drink and be
merry"
Celestia ate hungrily and drank
thirstily. And presently she said that

WORK 0k ANTELOPE
 HILL BRIDGE STARTS

Work on the new state highway bridge at Antelope Hill. seven miles from Wellton, in Yuma county. was begun yesterday. and will be rushed as fast as possible. All the material for the new structure is on the ground. and it is expected that the bridge will be completed and open for traffic by July 1.
 The efforts of the state engineering department to construct a bridge across the Gila at this point have been accompanied by a series of mishaps and delays calculated to make anybody but an engineer lose all hope. First the firm that took the contract found itself unable to finish the work and left the job only half begun. Then before more work Was started. the Ciila took things into it's own hands. and washed away what had been done It is only since the Hoods that have gone roar ing down the river during the past three months have abated that State Engineer Cobb has deemed it wise to resume operations.

FOOL PARTY"

Pools step in where angels fear to tread, so everybody thought who at tended the April fool party at the Y. w. C. A. last night With gay little fools suspended everywhere, with pit falls for the unWary and all kinds of jokes for lesser fools, the hours passed merrily. Mrs. Reba Elliott, chairman of the entertainment committee had provided more clever ideas than usual ly ill one evening. one of the best was the contest of fool stories told in response to the following proclamation, previously posted:
 Fool, take heed, Your presence we
 need
 To make complete our fools retreat Bring your best fool tale so you can
 compete
 With the fools that come to this fool
 meet
 The meaning of this fool thing implies The best fool yarn will win the prize
 Miss Aieen Russell won the first prize with Miss Annie Head and the Misses Gaddis of Kansas City receiv ing honorable mention
 Perhaps the most charming of all was the arrangement of the dining room where refreshments were served at a typical fools table
 Gay with flowers, and candles, gaily colored and charming fools of all col ors and sizes. FaVors were confections in fools cap cases. Each of the mem bership parties during the past season has vied with each of the others in clever ideas and the members of the association are resrettng that only one or two more will be given this season.

Tonto Basin Promises To Become Another
 COaliDga Oil Field

The Miami oil and Development company, having complied with all the requirements of the law, will immediately commence operations ;n the Tonto Basin oil Fields.
 The company is composed Drinci- pally of the business men of phoe- nix, and other cities of Arizona who have 'preceived from the first that d discovery of oil in the Roose- welt district means a much needed impetus to every line of business in the state; in fact millions of capital will at once be invested here and Arizona will pulsate with prosperity.
 The Tono Basin oil Fields have been compared very favorably to the Coalinga fields of California: and but short time will lapse nov, in their opinion, when the history of California's great oil field will be repeated.
 On the goth of January, the Tonto Basin Oil company now operating near Roosevelt, reported discov- cry of both oil and gas this fact proves that the vicinity of their well there is a deposit of oil.
 The Miami Oil and Development company has acquired what is look ed upon as the cream of the oil bearing land at Roosevelt, and ow- ing to the discovery of the company now operating there, this proposition carries with it much merit
 Oil in the Tonto Basin means new cities, new railroads, new industries and prosperity, especially for Phoe- nix.
 The operations of the Miami oil and Development company will be watched with much interest by all those interested in the welfare of the state
 The company is practically financ- ed and but a small portion of the capital stock will be offered to the public at 121ac per share.
 A small investment in this com pany may make you independent.
