 So if you want the association to serve you to the best advantage, you should drop everything next Saturday and come to the berry meeting. Some will say that we do not know how many boxes we want. That may be so. Neither we will we know in April. But we can place an order with the box people nov and be sure that whom we want them next spring we will have them. We will not have to pay for the boxes till we order them out next spring.
 The only thing that the box peo- pie want is some idea of what the people want so that they can have something definite to work on this winter.

FIRST ARIZONA RECRUITS
ARRIVE AT DOUGLAS

Douglas. Ariz.. May li.--rhirty re-
cruits for the Arizona national guard
arrived here tonight from Tucson and
were taken to the camp. Their COM
ing is noteworthy because, although.
the state has been flooded with lit
erature and much effort has been ex-
panded by the adjutant generals or
flee to secure recruits, they are the
first to arrive here SO far.
Locally, recruiting Is advancing
with the SANG slowness which is evil
dent in other parts Of the state.
1t was learned today that this is
one OF the deterrent features to the
mastering of the regiment into the
federal service. as the companies
must have peace strength of sixty
five men before that formality can
be gone through with. Each man
will also have to submit to the same
rigid physical examination TO which
the regular army recruit Is subjected
before he is accepted.
Several officers of the regiments
composing the Sixth infantry brigade,
reached Douglas today from teh Army
service school at Fort LeavenNorth
Kan, having been ordered to rejoin
their regiments, although their course
was not complete. Others are eX-
pected to join from the same school
and from the war college in Washing
ton, d. G, within the next few days.

said adjournment may not come be-

The democratic platform will be
based in large part on the record OF

the platform already has been begun
and for that reason the progress be-
ing made by congress Is being await

The measures which the president

in Ireland has had its day. The AS
sociated Press learns from sources
in close touch with the premier that
Mr.. Asquith's conversations aud con

The prime minister has taken care
TO learn the ideas and views Of many
persons other than those in purely

could be arranged TO meet their most
serious objections
