TOLD THE TRUTH

A Boston physician tells of pr. Reed. who in his time was one of the prominent medicos of the Hub. His large practice included many patients outside the city limits. and these he visited in his buggy.
 One day Dr. Reed bought new horse. with which he was much pleased until he discovered that tho animal had an insurmountable obicc- tion to bridges of all kinds and could not be made to cross one.
 lnaSmuch as at that period it was necessary to cross certain bridges in order to reach any one of the surrounding towns. the doctor decid % ed to sell the horse. He did not think it necessary to mention the animals peculiarity. but wass much too honest to misrepresent him. and. after some thought he produced the following advertisement. which he in serted in a local paper:
 For Sale-A bay horse. warranted sound and kind. The only reason for selling is because the owner is obliged to leave Boston. Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph

MISSIONARY TELLS OF
 SECRET OF STRENGTH

In spite of threatening skies large audience assembled at the Y. NJ C. A. stadium last evening to listen to an address by Rev T. F. McCourt- ney, state missionary for the Bap- tist church.
 Taking for his theme, The Secret .of Strength" Rev. McCourtney deliV- cred a stirring sermon from the text:
 They that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up on wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint" Strength, he said is to be gained in two ways; by waiting for God and working with God. Many persons were un- willing to wait for God, they were in hurry to accomplish something, and did not wait to be shown the way, or thought their own way the only one It was only by waiting for God. and working with him that strength is to be found, he declared.
 The speaker cited a number of apt illustrations of the theme A feature of the service was the special music by the ladies and mems quartets from the First Baptist church.

SHEDD IS SPREADING
 GOSPEL OF PHOENIX
Telling People About the City ano
 all Arizona

Henry L. Shedd, of this city. who is taking his vacation on the coast is doing something more than taking a vacation. He is telling the natives about Phoenix, according to the fol lowing from the Riverside Enter prise
 Harry l.. Shedd, president of Shedds Mercantile Service of Phoe- nix and formerly a Riverside resident and secretary of the Business Mems association here. is spending a few days in Riverside. He reports Phoe- nix in splendid condition at this time. A bank which closed it's doors there a few months ago. re-opened within two months. with capital stock increased from $15e.OOO to S5O0.O0O and with all depositors much for the financial recuperative powers of the community.
 Shedd calls attention to the fact that the famous Roosevelt dam k now completely filled with water and several feet of water have been run ming over the top for several weeks This has greatly encouraged all of the farming interests of the immense district that the big water supply will water. The Arizona mines are also opening in larger numbers and bringing renewed prosperity. He states that building operations are not brisk in Phoenix and other Ari- zona towns but that much is eXpec- ted in the fall and winter.
 When asked as to the effect of prohibition on Arizona, Shedd stated that it seems to have improved con ditions in Phoenix. Business men find it better. with their collections greatly improved over former condi- tions.

FOREIGN CARS MUST BE REGISTERED AT
 SHERIFF'S OFFICE

owners of automobiles registered outside of Arizona who have not registered the numbers at the sher- ifs office are likely to be called on the carpet by that official in the near future, according to an an nounccment made recently at the of flee of the secretary of state. Under the law foreign licenses are given a six months life in this state, on the condition that owners register with the sheriff of the county in which they reside
 A complete report of all foreign cars registered with the sheriffs of the various counties will be called for within short time by the sccre- tary of state, and all owners of for eign cars who have not registered their license numbers will be liable to arrest after that time.

HOW BATTLE ECHOES
 IN TyROLEAN ALPS
A Single Shot Sounds Like a Fusl-
 Jade
TAssocIArED PRESS DIspArcHI

BUDAPEST, July 25.-A Hungarian officer, describing the fighting on the TNrolcse mountain peaks, a mile above sea level, states that the most difficult problem for the staff is to maintain the supply of food to the troops. On account of the high altitude and the continuous physical strain, they need good supplies and plenty of them.
 The officer pays q tribute to the work of the Red Cross, "Our wounded have to be carried down in sheets tied to the ends of sticks, and it takes a dozen men to carry one down, he remarks.
 Scout duty is particularly dangerous, except for skilled Alpinists, and many of these never return. Touching on the remarkable echoes thrown back by the mountain peaks, the officer says "The roar of the guns is heard. twice. thrice. or perhaps a dozen times, the echo throwing the sounds back and forth, and transforming a single report into fusillade. Many of our men have been rendered unconscious or even driven mad by the fearful noise of the guns in the rarified atmosphere of these high attitudes"
 The same officer in another letter described an attack by the Italians on the positions held by his troops. Tt was after nine o'clock in the evening when the Italian infantry began 10 climb the mountain and storm the po- sitions. We lay low benind the rocks and poured a fusillade of fire upon them as they came up in three lines That was easy. But some terrible and trying moments for our troops came after this. The Italians, having been reinforced by another brigade came in such force and with such determination that the hot barrels of our rifles could do no mere. A fourth brigade was then seen in reserve trotting up behind.
 They surprised the advanced posi- tions a whole company fell into their hands. and they came on against the heavy fire of our infantry and artillery so courageously and undisturbed that even their most gallant adversary. Ma jor Turndija, remarked: Honor and respect To those Italians: they behave beautifully. l would not have expected anything else
 They reached our rocky covers to within six yards. our machine guns and granades literally swept them off the slopes. yet more took their places, shouting 'CorraggioT and Evviva"
 Again our rifles failed us They came over the rocks in front. but there was no bayonet work. for our men were retrcatinE 10 another height. where the reserves were ready to repulse any fur ther advance"
