this good work for the benefit of those
less fortunate of our fellow citizens may
ahkethem rise above its many handi-
caps and stand on a firm and SUBJ

crowded for space that it is very diff

cally, and mortgage which still is on
the property saps its vitality. Is it too
much to hope,that our generous friends
of the past may, take measures to pro-

Why 1t Pays To Read The Ads

The shrewd men and women of today
not only read advertisements, but they
study them They have come to watch
for them, and the business man who
realizes as much, is getting their trade.
The modern man and woman have come
to know that when a business house has
anything special to offer it Will appear
in the newspaper-and if no such ffers
meet their eyes when they open the
paper, they very naturally assume that
their merchants have nothing worth
saying this week. that week, or what
ever week it may be. The public the
world over is guided in It's purchases
by newspaper offerin IS to them, if no
such offerings appear, they naturally
look elsewhere for them.

for introducing liquor. He can now be convicted for the same offense, but the prosecution must now prove two things instead of one. He must prove CD the introduction, @ the possession of that specific liquor, by the person introducing it, after its introduction into the state. In this respect the amendment is not as stringent as the former amendment. However, with anything like honest enforcement it will dry up Arizona completely. It is no compromise meas ure, but a frank and fearless express sion of the desires of the people This amendment also proposed to prohibit the transportation of liquors from one place to another within the state. Without this provision liquors might be smuggled across the line ! to some out of the way place within the state and from here the whole state could be flooded. The destruc- tion of liquors which fall into the hands of the officers is also provided for
 Exceptions are made for alcohol tC be used for laboratory purposes, anC for wine to be used only for sacra metal purposes. The first of thes' exceptions is to be handled througl the university and the chances for it abuse are reduced to a minimum. Tn second exception is for those regularl. established churches which use win in the sacrament This is one O their modes of worship, and freedom in this respect is guaranteed by tn state and federal constitutions. Thi exception would probably have beel made by the courts and the idea O the framers of the amendment wa : to make it stand before the courts l, and il is guaranteed to do this.

farm two miles north of the Mesa cantaloupes fir exhibit purposes, ar the Commercial club. MT. Wilson states that the yield from one and one-Ealf acres planted to melons has been very happy. He will take 600 crates from the patch. Already there have been gathered 559 crates and enough remain 10 mere than com pletc the amount estimated. His to- mato yield also has been very excep- tional. He attributes part of the suc- l cess of the cantalcupe crop to the fact that the ground was put in cow ! peas last season and then turned under.
 | The other side of the cantaloupe game was told yesterday by q
 rancher who has succeeded every year heretofore in producing satis- 1 fat tory crops. He stated that lc would not get over 900 crates from eight acres. He does not know how
 to account for the light yield as his
 neighbors have been very successful
 It was suggested that perhaps here
 is where a farm expert with prope"
 analysis of solls would come in and help the valley farmers to uniform yields and thus prevent losses wheIe
 men have put hard and honest labor into their efforts.

GRAIN SEASON ENDS
 ALFALFA SEED NEXT

Grain threshing which has been in progress on the farms of the south side for the past month comes to an end within the next few days and before the last of the week the bull lers will have started their two months run through the alfalfa seed season. Grain season has been un- usually long this season as evidenced from the fact that the C. c. Steele threshing outfit is still in the field when it should have pulled in ten days ago. The Sandoz machine has been in about two weeks.
 The farmers generally are receiving good yields from their grain fields Some are selling now at good profits and others are storing for better pric- es in the fall.
 Alfalfa seed is going to be another big crop on the south side this year and some of the best crops ever are being looked forward to. Out on the John Anderson ranch between here and Chandler, the cutting of 800 acres of splendid seed was begun the first of the week and the threshing ma chine will go to work Friday for al most a months run on that section | Anderson made one cutting of hay | from this same land earlier in the season and he will get still another crop of seed this fall. Other ranch CTS in that neighborhood are securing the same profitable results througf their raising of alfalfa for seed.

CHURCH SOLD FUR
 DEPTHS REDEEMED

The property of the Mesa Christian church which was sold for debt some months ago has been redeemed and is now ,Iwned by the state organiza- ton which will hold the same with the right given the local congregation to pay off the debt and secure the final fee simple title
 Affairs of the local membership had fallen into such conditions that the debt of $500, was Ions overdue and finally the property was sold under
 Society. They in turn disposed of their equity to the local congregation cf the Church of Christ. All this tirne the original owners had six
 months in which to lift the debt and redeem the property. Being unable to do this at once it was arranged by committee from the state board to
 handle the debt and adjust matters so that the local membership might have a number of years in which to repay the loan As yet no steps have | been taken to reorganiZe the congre- gatior and it is possible that no such step will be taken but that by coop erating together the membership may be able to keep alive the organiza-
 tion until such time as there is an | evident desire to actively begin work
 under a regular pastor. The property
 which had sold for the amount
 named $500, is estimated to be worth s3000.

REINFORCEMENT

Because of the many questions asked concerning the aim and provi- sions of the proposed prohibition amendment and the many misnter- pretations of the amendment. the gen. eral secretary of the Temperance fed eration has issued the following state ment:
 When the original prohibition amendr'ent was passed we had abso- lute prohibition It said liquors shall not be manufactured in or introduced into the state of Arizona under any pretense.' Because of this amend ment not meeting the Webb Kenyon law the state supreme court held that liquors could be introduced for per sonal use" This means liquors can be introduced for all legal purposes. The aim and intent of the framers of the proposed prohibition amend ment was to get such a law as would 1 accomplish the same result as the first amendment would have accom- | plished had it not been for the court decision. To do this the law must be | framed in such a way as to meet
 the objections of the court and to
 meet the Webb Canyon law
 Before the Webb Kenyon law was
 passed by congress no state had
 power to prohibit the introduction of
 liquors into it's territory at all be-
 cause this was a regulation of inter
 state commerce, a power that rested
 solely with congress. However in the bb-Kenyon law congress gave to tI. sx,
 troduction of liquors, if the liquors
 were to be received, possessed, sold
 or in any manner used in violation
 of the laws of that state. This
 amendment uses the exact words of
 the Webb Kenyon law and proposes
 to make it illegal to receive liquor and illegal for person tC . possess it when he introduces it into the state
 The amendment still aims at the } introduction feature and does not pro. hibit possession, except by the per 3 son introducing liquor into the state : This is the only way it could mee I and be made to dove-tail with th n Webb Kenyon law. In other words ; r person can't possess a quantity o liquor which he has introduced, Du - he can possess it if he acquires y in any other way. This bill author f izes no search and seizure any nor r than the first prohibition amendmen l. did. It will not touch, so far as pos n session is concerned, the liquors al
 ready within the state or the liquor
 bought, given, or exchanged withi d the state The aim of the framer e of this amendment was to get tn I, law back to where it was original. r. that is, to prohibit the introductio d of liquor.
