Sale of Registered Holsteins
At Alhambra Discloses
Strong Local Demand for
High Grade Milk PrOduc-
ing Cattle

Registered Holstein cattle brought
an average of $500 per head at an
auction sale at Alhambra yesterday,
and scored a distinct triumph not
only for the breed but for the advo-
Gates of thoroughbred dairy stock for
the Salt River Valley farms.
Not in the history of the dairy
business in the valley has there
been such a demand for high grade
milk strains; the eagerness with
which the 10 registered cows We're
bid in, indicates a spread of the
propaganda favoring this class of
stock here.
The sale was made in behalf of
Messrs Krell of Alhambra and Gill
( bert of Glendale, and the total money
I consideration was 1000.
! Buyers came from all sections of
the valley, even Chandler being well
represented. Many prominent breed
ers were among the buyers, about the
heaviest being DR.. J. c. Norton of
] Phoenix.
There were 13 registered cows that
averaged $500 apiece Twenty three
! heifers brought between $3.50 and
$3.50 a head There was 81 500 worth

HOME GUARDS
GIVE SMOKER
AT Arizona Club Friday
Evening Effort Will Be
Made to Re-stimulate In
terest In This Patriotic
Organization

An effort will be made to renew the
enthusiasm of the people of Phoenix
anent the Home Guard organization,
on Friday evening at a smoker to be
given at the Arizona club. The boost
ers of the organization are getting be-
hind the movement and are trying to
bring back the lost enthusiasm-so
they are taking this means of bringing
the men and boys of Phoenix together
to discuss the movement Every man
in Phoenix is invited to attend the
smoker, which will be held on the
roof garden of the Arizona club. Fri
day evening at o'clock.
When the movement first started
| there were a number of men who
turned out to the drills and things
looked promising. Progress was being
made but gradually the newness of the
thing wore off and enthusiasm, which
is sometimes called patriotism, died
with the result of rapid decrease in
the ranks of the Home Guard. Lately
/ there have been about twenty men
/ turning out to the semi weekly drills
3
/ Der of patriots that should be out.
Some are under the impression that
! if they join the home guards they will
be called out as national guards and
made to do border duty. But this is
not the case-one does not enlist in the
national guard. There has been a false
I impression created that the company
OF Home Guards known as Company
A, the only group that is doing any
work at the present time was strictly
for the members of the Arizona club
Joe Santag, captain of the company
regrets this mistake and wants the
public to understand that the Arizona
club has nothing to do with the or
ganiZation other than allowing it Il
use its rooms as an assembling place
and 10 help the organization in every
way that it can. The guard is open tc
every man and boy in the city OF
Phoenix.

Of
bLACKMA|L IS MADE

Charging blackmail and eXtortion,
Attorney Porter of Glendale in violent
terms denounced the case brought by
Mrs. Elizabeth Clarke against Elmer
Graham. the blacksmith who she al
leges is responsible for her condition.
Mrs. Clark looked more like a young
Quaker woman than an adventures
when she appeared in Judge De SouZa' s
court yesterday accompanied by her
husband. On the other hand, there
was nothing OF the william in the ap-
pearance of the staid blacksmith who
might be likened to Pilgrim father.
They hardly seemed the central
figures in bastardly proceedings.
IF this case goes to trial it is setting
precedent that will demoralize So
ciety." contended Porter. 1T is not a
law that applies to married women.
He argued at length for dismissal al
leging among other things conspiracy
which he said would come out if the
case went to trial.
Assistant County Attorney G. S
Cunningham said ii was necessary to

that proper provisions might be made
for it, He said that the proceeding
was instituted for the purpose of pro-
tecting the woman. The court ruled tC

Owing TO the absence of materia
