The Reuss Henrys.

For 700 years every prince of the
house of Reuss has been christened
Henry, with a distinguishing numeraI
but the task of identifying them is rem
dered doubly difficult owing to the ex-
istence of two branches, each of which
has different system of Enumeration.
The elder line begins the numbering
anew after each batch Of 100 Henrys,
whereas the younger line goes by the
centuries. numbering its princes as they
are born from |. upward through each
complete hundred years. The terrific
ries of the two branches comprise lit
tie more than 400 square miles, divided
into Reuss- Schleiz-Gera and Reuss-
Greiz. For centuries the Montenegro
of the Germanic countries, both
branches joined the German confedera-
ton in 1915. but the elder line CReuss-
Greiz) sided with Austria in 1866. and

Work of the Ground Mole.

There is popular belief that the
ground mole is a destructive animal.
Like many popular beliefs this cannot
be substantiated BY facts. Ground
moles do not feed Tfpon roots and are
not destructive The ground mole is
subterranean animal 1t builds its
nest, rears its young and hunts itsprey
beneath the earth. II is well adapted
to its sub;e-ranean life, the shape OF

localities where the earth is infested
with insect life. Where they are nu-

cause they prey upon all kinds Of IN

A Stiff Price.

The sum of S25 100000 for the three
West Indian islands OF Denmark seems
to be an extortionate price. If they
were worth not more than $6,000,000 in
Secretary Hays time according to the
abortive treaty of purchase which was
then negotiated, what new considerations
to-day make the islands worth four
times as much? The natural resources
have not been increased, while their ma ;
val Importance was clearly discerned as
early as our Civil war.
1t may be said, no doubt, that the
desire Of the United States to own the is
lands has grown keener in the past do1-
en- years. 1t may be true, also, that
their actual strategic value to the Unit.
ed States has much increased since the
Panama canal was opened to traffic. Fin

land emphasizes the point that strong

the Danish West Indies could operate

mense Atlantic coasting trade, with the
fine harbors of those islands serving as
base
With the new factor of submarine
warfare to be reckoned with--and the
ultimate status of the war submarine
remains to be determined--is the sum of
$25 100000 for the islands excessive?
However, the Danish government is I'M
doubtedly trying to squeeze the last pos
sble dollar out OF the United States
treasury.-Springfeld Republican.

TO BE PLAYED IN ARIZONA STATE
 FAIR ON NOV. IS TO 1s

Too much cannot be said in praise of the new thrilling game of AUTO POLO. It is one of those rare .amusenents which of fers to every type of human nature just the particular fascination their nature craves. It is clean, elevating and yet at the same time, exciting and exhilarating to the extreme In no other amusement is coupled so closely life and death-but still these imps of devil-daring, the participants of the game, go on ana on ID their quest for championship. The very name AUTO POLO breathes excite ment, and excitement of a type un- known before to the sensation-seeking public-the kind that makes you for get for the time being where you are, and that you are only an individual unit of a large mass of spectators. It seems that the game has been staged and is being played for yourself alone. so unconscious are you of all else but the one absorbing thought-the game itself.
 Accidents are of common occur ence, but this has been provided for in the large list of substitutes which are carried for the express purpose

 the turn-stiles registered S6O27 paid admissions, and in many instances, the great arena allotted to the teams for their play,l was inadequate to accom- odate the enormous crowds which gathered to witness this thrilling game.
 AUTO POLO is the Acme of clean American sport It is the Jwenry-first century thriller invented to meet the demands of the sensation-craving pub lie, and the public has ever been ready to receive it and welcome it with open arms as the peer of all sensational sports It is at an enormous expense the game is produced, but the stake is so high, that it is well worth the effort and expenditure of enormous sums,, that the management spares nothing in their efforts to produce the most sensational of all exhibitions.
 Very few have. the slightest idea of what it costs to produce the new whirlwind sport. There is not an other amusement or game before the public today, whose cost of production measures up to that of this new game. In order that one may gain a slight conception of what it costs to produce the game, the following items must be taken into considera- tion:
 Perhaps the greatest item on the list is the breaking of wheels on the specially built high-powered cars which are used in this game. It is significant fact that during last years games alone, over three thousand wheels were broken to splinters and half that amount of tires were con- signed to the scrap heap. Other items of importance is the breaking of steer ing post, axles, hubs and radiators, while other minor parts too numerous to mention, represents in themselves,

 The above telegram was received yesterday by c. H. McArthur from Warren Pitcher, manager of McArthur Brothers at Douglas. It indicates that things are speeding up for the Doug las-Phoenix automobile road race, to be held November 13, the opening day of the state fair:
 Warren McArthur, superintendent of automobile speed for the 1916 state fair, is informed by their Tucson of flee that the race promotion has made considerable progress there, with the possibility of a goodly number of en- trants. 9It looks like a big go,' he says, Many drivers are getting their cars in shape in all the speed-famous towns along the Borderland route, which will be followed exclusively by the race.
 Interest in Phoenix among the automobile men is very keen, and there should be larger field than in and previous fair week road races. Various towns throughout the state are getting ready to enter cars in the 100-mile track race for the individual city 1O-mile trophy, and there should be a, great deal of interest taken ln both the speed trials and final race. There will be thirteen cars started in the finals of this race, which cars will be the thirteen making the fast est time in two or three speed trials for qualification"
 Dick Hollingsworth, who has been named as starter for the road and track races, has been making a flying trip over the southern territory drumming up interest in the contest. His assistants will be named this week and, with an additional number of live wires working on the races, the arrangements will progress speedily.

Chief Master at Arms, T. R. Parker, in charge of the naval recruiting sta tion in Phoenix has received word that c. F. Weber, chief quartermaster U. s. N., formerly in charge of the re- cruiting station at Tucson had been ordered to assist him. Parker has found that the valley is very pro- life source for recruits and he has succeeded in interesting navy head. quarters to that effect.
 In order to stimulate recruiting the navy publicity bureau has decided to send him a quantity of material to be used as an exhibit at the state fair this fall The exhibits will include relics from the U. s. s. Maine, ma chine guns, mines, and a reel of mo tion pictures, depicting life in the navy,
 The following is copy of the letter received by Parker from Washington:

a great cost. Among other things, is also counted the expense of maintain ing company surgeon and physician to take care of the injuries of the players, which is often no more seri- ous than broken rib, wrist or arm, but quite often necessitates sending the injured one to a hospital. Even tie private Pullman car in which the AUTO POLOISTS travel, is specially built and contains every convenience known to human ingenuity, and is pro nounced by all railroad officisds- as quite the finest and best equipped ear on the road.
 Thus, it can be easily reekoned why Auto Polo is considered the most ex- pensive of all sports, but Ralph A. Hankinson, Originator and Manager of the two teams, spares nothing in the way of expense in his endeavor to present the best and most spectacular game ever staged before public vision and his untiring efforts are being re- paid by the worldwide enthusiasm accorded AUTO POLO. Never again will the world have the opportunity to witness such feats of daring and skill, for with the passing of this twenty-first century sport, the world will have lost one of the greatest means of diversion and excitement known to human ingenuity.

The state fair this year will be characterized by the presentation for the first time in this section, of the Rice and Worsham water circus, a unique attraction, which has been ere ating quite a sensation in those parts of the country where it has already been shown. The water circus gives something new in the way or amuse- ment, offering as 1t does, a real circus where all of the acts take place in the water and for which a huge tank containing over 100000 gallons of real honest-to-goodness water Is used, and in which a troupe O. living mer- maids display their aquatic prowess in all sorts of natatorial stunts and capers.
 The water show carries a large troupe of lady and gentlemen swim mers and divers, including water clowns and pantominists, trick and fancy divers and high divers of all sexes and nationalities. Water walk ing. log rolling. dancing in the water and other wondrous featss are all in cluded in the promises of the press agent, who also tells us that there will be a facsimile of the great water ballet which once attracted thousands to the New York Hippo6rome. This is the world renowned "Neptune's Daughter" which, at the bidding of the father of the waters, a troupe of shapely water nymphs, disappear be heath the water of the huge tank never more to reappear. There are too many features of the water circus to give them all mention here, but we will not omit to refer to Dare Devil Knight, who, it is said. will give us one of the most thrilling and blood
