FARMERS SHORT COURSE
TO BE HELD JAN. 8-l3

The fifth annual Farmers and
Housekeepers' Short Course will
be held at Tucson January 9th
to 18th inclusive.
1t will be noted that the pro-
gram is to continue for one full
week beginning Monday. This
arrangement invites a larger at
tendance than heretofore. More
lectures and demonstrations will
be given than last year, made
possible by dividing the program
into separate sections.
A special effort will be made
to make the lectures practical
that they may give information
which may be put into practice
upon the return of farmers and
housekeepers to their homes.
Many demonstrations will be
given. Lecturers will in many
cases illustrate with charts, Ian
tern slides, or with the objects
under discussion. Judging dem
Onstrations will be given and
score cards furnished those at
tending. Many of the speakers
will supply typewriter sum-
maries of their speeches.
The women's course will begin
Tuesday afternoon January 9,
and extend four and one half
days to and including Saturday,
January 13.
A special effort is being made
this year to make the home eco
nomics program an attractive
one. Farmers are urged t O
bring their wives.

Members of the Mesa Commercial club are asking if there is to be any swimming. Sure, if anybody wants to. The probabilities are that a good many will carry along their bathing suits for moonlight swim. The committee met yesterday at the club rooms and figured up the cars and the carless ones and found ample room for the members, their wives and sweethearts- the latter belonging to the unmarried members. Please remember that, for no sensible club man takes his wife and sweetheart at the same time un- less, as is always the case with a Mesa member the wife and sweetheart are one. There, now, it is all fixed up Fifty big juicy watermelons and hun dred cantaloupes will be placed on ice today and kept until Tuesday at 7:3O D. m. when melons and members and cars will gather at the club rooms and start for Granite Reef 4 beauti- ful twelve-m mile moonlight ride-one hundred folks-one hundred tin spoons and Geo.

DANGEROUS RUNAWAY

George Lewis recently took the fam fly of Leonard Lewis into the noun tains where the latter are to camp until cooler weather. On the way up while going down the Fish Creek grade, the team hitched to the rear wagon which was being driven by Mir Lewis, began running. The front wagon con- taining the Leonard Lewis family was well on down the grade, which is very steep. Seeing that the maddened anil mals were rapidly drawing nearer the other wagon, Lewis finally succeeded in swinging the horses into the cliff at one side. A wheel caught on a rock and was torn to pieces but the horses were checked and the danger was over. The failure of the brakes to work pushed the wagon onto the horses and started them running.

UT |S OFFERED
 FUR LIBRARY SITE

The recently appointed library board is rejoicing over the offer by Dan Ma honey of this city of a site for a small library building. The location is on South Macdonald street and just out side the fire limits. Mir. Mahoney by his offer makes much more possible the erection of a cheap structure and yet of sufficient size and equipped with such necessities as shall afford a com fortable reading room, for it does away with the first and main expense, the ground. The board will meet this af- ternoon and discuss ways and means of securing money to carry out the plan.
 Estimates of the probable cost are now in the hands of the board and in dications are that the ladies who have been so worried over the useless con- dition of the Mesa library will see at length the reward of their labOrs
 It practically is certain that the city will allow the sum of $25.00 per month toward the maintenance of the institu- tiOn.
