GREAT GROWTH
 OF CITY SHOWN
 BY POST0FF|CE

The population of Phoenix has in creased more than 26 per cent during the postoffice fiscal year ending June 30, 1917, if postal receipts can oe taken as a criterion Of pnpulat1or.
 During the twelve month period end ing June 30. postal receipts at the local office will surpass the s200,000 marx according to an announcement yester- dav by Postmaster s. J. Nicholson, it being added that that mark has already been passed.
 The previous high water marx at the local office was for the fiscal year enc ing June 30, 1916, it was stated, when receipts tOtaled s1S,000. The increase this year as compared with last is more than 26 per cent greater-almost 27 per cent
 It is on this comparison that the population increase is estimated. Pos ta receipts are recognized as the bes, medium of estimating increases in pop ulation from year to year and thus Phoenix has shown a remarkable growth during the past twelve months.
 The increase noted in postal receipts the past year has been steady, month by month, rather than phenomenal during any one period of the year. Each month has shown substantial increase over the corresponding period of the preceding year.
 The exact figures will be ready for publication. it was stated yesterday, soon after July 1.
 The postoffice year for measuring in crease in business ends June 30, but the year for adjusting salaries is based on the calendar year. All departments of nff hai reports on Ju,y l or as soon afterward as necessary figures can be compiled. It is expected that all departments will show substantial increases this year over last. which was the previous ban ner year.

HOW TO TAKE CARE OF 0


o Have you ever had trouble TAX o
o ing care of an aquarium? Does o
the water turn green. and do o
your fish die? Now, don't be o
discouraged. Get out your o
aquarium and let's start all over o
again. and you will see what o
fine one you can have and keep o
too A five gallon bowl is big o
enough to hold dozen medium o
sized fish, and they'll be well o
o and happy as they can be. The o
very first thing to do is to find o
good place to keep the bowl, for o
you cannot move it around. A o
northern exposure is best, for too o
o much light makes the water turn o
o green too quickly. The next o
thing is to get some nice river o
sand and wash 1t thoroughly I'M o
o til it is very, very clean. and o
o then put in about two inches of o
o this sand, covering the bottom OF o
0 the five gallon tank. Now for o
o the water plants. Either the o
o cal cmba or myriophyllum are o
o good, hardy plants. Two punches o
of either of these will be plenty, o
and after you have taken Off o
o the lead pull off all the leaves o
o about an inch from the bottom o
o of the stems, so you can plant o
them in the sand more easily. o
o After this you must let the o
aquarium stand for several days o
so the water will become clear o
and full of air before putting in o
the fish. And now for the great o
o moment when you select your o
o fish. American gold and silver o
o fish are a little more expensive o
o than some others, but they are o
much harder than the cheaper o
0 ones, and you must be careful to o
their fins are frayed out or il o
o they have humps right back Of o
o their heads or on their backs you o
o may be sure they are sick. o
o For dozen goldfish piece of o
o prepared fish food about two o
o inches square given every other o
o day is plenty. And it's splen- o
o did plan. too, to give all the fish o
o very little scraped beef once a o
o week, but you must be very. o
o very careful to take out all that o
o is not eaten. You can replenish o
o the water from time to time, o
o but he sure always to pour 1t o
o over your hands. If you put o
o pinch OF salt in the water, il the o
o fish appear i'll, you will find 1t O
o does them great deal of good. o

How Country Folk Interpret Common
Rain Slams.

The people in our country very sell
dom need weather forecaster to tell
them IL the morrow will lie clear. In
cighty-iivc cases out Of a hundred they
will tell you it will rain within three
days if there is ring around the
moon or sun.
Another old maxim believed in by
the country folks is "the farther the
sight the nearer the rain" When the
people of u mountainous region can
see Il distant peak that is usually in
visible they know that it is too good to
last and will rain soon. There are
sound scientific reasons for every one
of the above signs. as well as for the
belief that sounds carry better when
q rainstOrln is near.
