STORM JUST ABOUT ENDS MUSK MELONS

GLENDALE, July 29.-This district suffered severely from the storm of last Thursday evening, many fruit and shade trees, and small buildings being blown down. The new warehouse butt by Sullivan and Green was damaged by the storm, though no damage was done to the hay and grain stored therein The roof of the Maize building at the ice plant was partially blown off. The large door of the city barn was torn from it's hinges and carried some dis tance away. Awnings and signs were blown in the business district. A large crowd at the Rainbow theater was ma rooned there for some time by the downpour in total darkness, as the storm had cut off the lights. It is thought that the storm has just about finished the canaloup season.
 Many Glendale persons attended the Verde Water Users meeting at Phoe- nix Thursday. A committee was ap pointed to go to Washington to visit Secretary Lane in the interests of the association. Those appointed to go were: YVm. Bartlett, R. Nj. Lyle, w. E. Hedgpeth and George Sturdeyant. They expect to leave within the next few days.

Painting Add: s<see Ten times its cost to the value of your home

Next to location there is probably no element in the valuation of property so important as APPEARANCE. Many a house that neighbors have always val ued at so much has been sold for two or three hundred dollars more after hay ing had about $35 worth of paint. It's safe to say that every dollar you put into paint adds ten or more dollars to the value of your property.

Promotions In Business.

In the American Magazine Thomas E. Wilson, the Chicago packer, says:
 Il often ask a man why he is doing a thing certain way. If he tells me that he does it that way because it has always been done just like that 1 am inclined to be somewhat dubious about his ability. Not infrequently the fact that custom has been in force for thirty years is sufficient proof that it is wrong We should be constantly on the lookout for better ways of doing things. Any business not showing constant advance ment usually deteriora<4'. Individual positions are no exceptions.
 "One of the great foes to a good or ganization is the practice of promoting by seniority alone. John Smith is moved into a vacancy because he has been in the department longer than some other fellow. This plan permits an inferior man to block the way of good man. There should be no rules about promo ton which can in any way hamper the selection of the best man for a place In fact, do not like to have too many rules about anything. Rules tend to make people follow custom without knowing why and without using much initiative"

TRADESMEN NEEDED.

Opportunities to perform vital war service in the Springfield, Mass, are offered men with mechanical trades, according to information given out today by the Connecticut State Council of Defense, Captain l.. H. VanDeusen of the Ordnance Department, United States Army, has informed the state council of defense that the command ing officer of the Springfield Armory is unable to secure the following much needed employees:
 1 Barrel Roller, 90 Drop Forgers, 3 File Cutters, Die Sinkers, l2 Tool Grinders, Tool Makers, I Machinist, 3 Screw Makers, 3 Millers.
 Complete information concerning this opportunity to do this patriotic work may be obtained from the Con- manding Officer, Springfield Armory, Springfield, Mass. It is the thought of the state council of defense that thIs war work may appeal especially to men who are not eligible for military service but who want to bear their share of thes snation's war burden.

Oriuin of the DahIia.

By curious irony the dahlia flower, popular at the flower shows, is of very humble origin. 1t has been developed from a Mexican tuber. Some centu- ry and half ago this plant was in- troduced into Europe by the Swedish botanist. Dr. Dahl, for the purely con- mercial purpose of supplanting or SUD- plementing the potato. But they did not prove popular, and the dahlia dish soon disappeared from the dinner ta- bles of Europe, but the gardeners saw the latent possibilities of the flower, from which they have evolved the dou- ble dahlia and other popular floral fan cies. It would thus appear that the dahlia had reversed the fate of the red clover, which was originally introduced as a garden flower, but was found to be much more desirable as a fine for age. The tubers of the dahlia, though bitter, are still eaten in some parts of IT

AN INTERVIEW WITH RICHARD H. M. ROBINSON OF BRIDGE
 PORL.
A Member of the Connecticut State
 Council of Defense.

When asked, "Wby are we fight. jng?" Mr. Robinson said, "The reason for our entry into the war cannot be told in any clearer manner than it was in President Wilson's address to Con- gress when asked that state or war be declared to exist with Germany. It there is any American who has not read that address or his answer to that question, he owes it to himself and his country to do it''.
 Why do we raise our army by selec- tive conscription, ewas asked, and he said, we raise our army by selective conscription in order that the duties to be performed may be equitably dis tributed as is but right in democracy where the duties and privileges are uniform. Selective conscription con. sists, as I understand it, of choosing for military duty all those, irrespective of rank and conditions in life, who are within the determined age limit and whose physical fitness justifies their doing such duty. There is no favoritism and all have an equal share in the duties of citizenship"
 What serious mistake of Great Bri- tain does our method of raising an army avoid, MT. Robinson was asked. and he said: "Great Britain at the outset of the war, relied solely upon voluntary enlistments, with the result that great number of men qualified in peculiar trades, volunteered for military service, when by the exercise of selective conscription, with proper exemption, they would have been re- tained at home where their duties were more valuable on account of their special qualifications"
 In answer to the qHes tion What IS the call of the hour to the young men of America, MT. Robinson said: "The call of the hour to the young men of America is to serve the needs of thelr country in such manner as will best forward her interest in this time of national emergency. Those who have special qualifications along special lines may we'll do so by following those lines, provided they contribute to the military strength of the country, but those who have not, (and this includes the greater number of young mem, must serve the colors".
 Why must our men be in France at the earliest possible moment, the in. terviewer asked, and MT. Robinson said: "The man power of France has been seriously drained during the last three years and it is understood that without replenishment from other countries such as ours, the case for democracy as represented by the allies, would be jeopardized"

The woman's answer to the ques- tions, Why are we Fighting? and, What is the call of the hour to the young men of Americaf is contained in "Made in Connecticut War Inter. view, secured by a representative of the Connecticut State Council of De- fense, and made public by the Council today The questions are answered by Mrs. Rose F. Hartshorne of New Lon. don speaking officially for the New London Auxiliary Committee of the Council. Mrs. Harshorne when asked the question "Why are we fghting?" made the following reply:
 ''We are fighting because Germany has forced America, as she has forced the rest of the world, to defend herself in the only way possible against a nation who has been preparing for forty years to carry on 8 policy of economic and political expansion by means of war.
 "We did not make war on Germany, Germany made war on us-by taking the lives of our citizens on the high seas-by disputing our rights to be a free and independent nation-by for. cing us to submit to her regulations of our commerce by means of unrestricted submarine warfare-by placing spies within our Country to help the German Empire destroy or inner peace by fomenting strikes, bomb outrages, etc. by plotting through her Ambassador in Washington, while she pretended Friendship for us, to bribe and incite Japan and Mexico to war against us. Her replies to all our protests against these outrages have been little less than insults. So to protect our National Honor and Integrity, we have been forced to declare war against Germany. We have not been drawn into this war by Capitalism, Commercialism or National Policy, but by the leaders of nation who have tried deliberately for years to make war on America, taking our good nature for cowardice and our lack of preparedness as lack {, of national self respect.
 ''In short, we are fighting for self protection, to preserve our own Demo. i cracy and to make sure that Govern ment of the people, by the people and for the people shall triumph and drive ' conscienceless military autocracy from the earth, thereby bringing Everlast ing World Peace''.

"WHY MUST WE SEND MEN AS
 WELL AS MONEY.
An Interview with Joseph G. Mitchell, representing the Middlesex County Auxiliary Committee, Connecti-
 cut State Council of Defense.

Reasons why the United States mus send men as well as money to aid i1 the cause of the Allies are given by Joseph G. Mitchell speaking for the Middlesex County Auxiliary Commit. tee of the Connecticut State Council ot Defense in 8 "Made-in- Connecticut War Interview. In answer to the ques tion, Why must we send men as we'll as money, MT. Mitchell, who is Captain of Company F of the 9th Regiment Connecticut Home Guard, made the following statement:
 "We must send men as well as money because both are indispensable to win the war, and at this juncture only the United States can respond adequately to both needs.
 ''Men and money are economic com modites and as life and property are the most valuable and best guarded of mortal accessories, what greater could be asked or given
 This analysis of the situation com- ing from the father of son about to embark for France with the l65th In. fantry, was sincere and critical.
 "Money may be the sinews of war but sinews are impotent without vital ized energy. In the end man-power must cope with man.power for man. power.
 'Shall we save our economic com- modities only to lose or shall we ex- pend in order to keep?
 = "A dollar merely saved is dollar retired, useless unless expended to advantage.
 "A life saved for the mere continu. ance ofone's present state of conscious ness IS retired currency.
 "The buried talent of either unit of usefulness, whether life or property, has been condemned ince the lesson in the Masters parable.
 "A fund or life we'll applied may conceivably be exalted 8 thousand fold in this struggle of the Right over Wrong, and that is why our lives and our fortunes should be at the invest. ment disposal of the Nation to battle for all that our Republic stands for and against the misguided aims of Prussianlsm with it's crimson list of glorified crimes justified by distorted intellectualism.
 "And 30 it is 8 brave, dear duty to speed our soldier boys under the Ban. ner of the Great Cause and to back them with all that we have".

HAUBER THEATRE,

"The Fighting Trail" the Greater Vitagraph serial which will start at the Hauber theatre today, is declar ed by Manager Hauber to be the most remarkable picture ever filmed. He saw the feature in its entirety be- fore he booked it for his theatre and asserts that it is one of the most exciting melodramas he ever viewed.
 'It is the first all outdoors picture serials ever made" said Manager Hau. Der, "and contains more thrills to the foot than anything I have ever seen. It is set in wild mountain and desert scenery and every thrill is pro duced naturally, there being no trick walls, sinking ceilings or anything of the sort in it. In fact, there are very few interior scenes in the entire fifteen episodes, those that are shown being mere flashes. I should say that there is at least ninety-five per cent of outdoor photography, some. thing that never was heard of before.
 How MT. Duncan and Miss Hollo- way, the leading players of "The Fighting Trail," survived the many hazardous stunts they undertook in making this picture I do not know. be- cause it seems to me that they must have taken their. lives in their hands every time they went out to take a scene.

club owners. Thus the trio form a combination which is unique in addi- tion to being effective in handling the players according to methods demand ed by their various temperaments.
 Rowland has two pennants to his credit having managed the Peoria club of the Illinois-Iowa-1ndiana league, and the Chicago Americans when these teams finished first in their respective circuits. Since join ing the New York Nationals in 1903 as manager McGraw's teams have won five pennants and one world series and lost three other struggles for the premier honors of the baseball world. It can be seen, therefore, that although Rowland has had less experi- ,ence in world series play than Mo- Graw, he can tie the latter's winning record in this department of the game by bringing about the downfall of the Giants in the coming contests.
