FAT TR|UMPHS
 AND SAVES DAY
Long Search Uncovers Man of Mammoth Proportions and Unusual Attributes Filling Deep Hole Joy RadiateS

Perhaps it is true that nobody loves a fat man; but that does not ne- cessarily mean that they are not in Phoenix Of course, there are various types, kinds, sorts and con ditions of fat men and, if one is very particular just the right speci- men is sometimes very hard to find. For the last few weeks Phoenix has been secured for a man-young, good natured, wise, patient sprightly, good looking and brainy, and yet slightly given to embompoint, weigh ing-say not less than 2SO pounds net Outside of that not much was required of him.
 Now after weeks of agonizing ef- fort, a search which disclosed every kind of fat man known to nature. the correct type has been discovered. Tall, round, red headed, blue-eyed and of rosy compexion, he oozes good nature and a keen thought for the mundane things of life that wins ones friendship instanter The type one instinctvely calls Cupid if one does not already call him "F1ooey." Strong as a lion, he is as gentle as kitten and as playful as we'll pastured Salt River valley lambkin. Given an ample supply of food. drink, tobacco, money, no work, more food and lots of time to eat it; he is content to let the cold world go it's way without interference and take what little there is of the joy in life.
 Where was such a prodigy found? Right here in Phoenix. And why was it necessary for the welfare of the valley that he should be found? Because, like all great things. he had a mission to perform. A mission that means much to our fair city. Had he not been discovered an event of great importance could not be consumed Now that he has been found it is assured that on April 29 and 90 Seven Days" will be pre- scented to the people. There have been occasions on which individuals have been presented with ten days" thirty days" and even longer sen tences; but that is another story
 Seven Days means two nights of pure and undefiled fun: fun so courageous and ll-embracing that none can withstand it. This great big. fat good -natured specimen of humanity has made it possible to
 
 great farce at the Elks because he has promised to play the part of Jim Wilson" and it is absolutely essential that Jim should be so fat that there could not possibly be any question as to whether he was or not
 He says that under ordinary cir cumstances he is much fattrr and, ti@I efOre much het..,r uatura1. b,It just now. owing to spring fever he is a bit off his feed and instead of his regular bill of fare his breakfast at present consists only of matted milk with four eggs. the English mutton chops. two baked potatoes. hot toast, a large omelet, six waffles, fruit and buttermilk; but he does little bet ter at lunch and dinner. Now that he is working so hard at rehearsals he will take matted milk with choco- la te and four eggs twice between each meal and hopes he won't lose much weight before the first performance
 That is a sample of what C. F. Morton of the California Arizona Construction company is willing to do to make the Country Clubs produc- tion of Seven Days" a success He has never been on the stage before: but as they are putting extra sup ports under the Elks stage now it will probably be quite safe. MT Morton sure is some actor and it might be wise to put those two dates, April 29 and 30, in your hat and be on hand at the Elks Something is very liable to happen.
