SECURES FAST GAR
 FORSTATE EXHIBIT

Arizona exhibits for the national farm products exposition at Peoria. H., September IS, will be shipped there in a baggage car attached to a pas senger train, instead of by freight, thus assuring quick transit and giving growers more time in which to pre- pare exhibits.
 Harry Welch, secretary of the Phoenix chamber of commerce, who will be in personal charge of the Arizona exhibit, canvassed the state and found it would be impossible to dc justice to an Arizona exhibit if such an exhibit had to go by freight,

 Dear Sir:
 As chairman of the district board I wish you would use your influence iu getting my name among those who are to be sent to the training camp on September ,. The order in which l went up for examination is 1l49, which probably means that l shan't get to go even with the second con- tingent.
 I am very anxious to go, if not on the fifth then the nineteenth. 1 un' 'erstand the time that reg istrant goes is not optional with him. but that the board has authority to change this order if it sees fit Anything you can do to ~ffect this will be very much appreciated.
 Yours very truly,

STOPS MEX|CANS FROM GOING OUT
 OF THE COUNTRY

The problem of making the Mexican population understand that they are not wanted for soldiers if they are aliens is being materially aided by s. J. Lobo, vice-consul, of Los Angeles who was sent here to represent the Mexican government at the request of Dr. Lorenzo Boido
 The Mexican consul has been in the city several days working among his countrymen, registering the Mexican citizens and explaining the draft law in general.
 His earnest endeavors have stopped to a great degree the general exodus of MeXicans toward the border. He is assisted in this work by Dr. Boido and his own secretary, Senor Cuevas. The work of the vice consul is almost com plete and within the next few days he will. return to Los Angeles.

Crosby will also build two schooners
or his own account. The oak for the
vessels has been stumbling block. in
the plans. 1t was known that large
amount of splendid oak was standing
on the Capt. George II. Theobald farm
on the lover end of Swan island Clown
of Perkins, in the Kennebec opposite
Rlchmond, but the "busybodies" said
that the price would be prohibitive, If
the captain would sell at all. But.
when Mr. Crosby and Capt. Theobald
got together it was a simple matter.
Said Capt. George: IF you'll build a
couple of schooners in Richmond, go
ahead and get your oak. Wen agree
all right on the price" And the craft
will be built, at a reported cost Of
100000, which certainly means a fine
outlay of money for this once-famous
shipbuilding village.

FRIEND IN NEED

WOMAN PROVES IT
One Acquaintance Recommend
ed New Tanlac, She Tried It
and Improved.

"A friend in need is a friend in
deed, has never been more forcibly
demonstrated than in t.le case of Mrs
Louis F. Marden of r. F. D. No. s.
Bangor. She gives a friend credit for
one of the greatest changes In her life
What this friend did was little as far
as favors are concerned, but it mea nj
much to her-it meant new health and
happiness. Consequently she is CRATE
full.
Her story is best told in her own
words. 1t is similar to Tanlac stor-
les tod throughout the State of Maine
every day.
"'I suffered from loss Of appetite, and
could sleep very little. Mrs. Mardcn
explained. For some unaccountab BILE
reason l had severe headaches most of
the time. / was in terribly Tun
down condition all the time and could
not understand just why.
Naturally my friends noticed the
change in me. and many Of them sug-
friend was the one who advised me to
try Tanlac. She insisted that TanIac
would help me and although I had my
doubts determined to try It,
by the time had taken three
bottles Of Tanlac I was much i'm
proved and have been rapidly getting
better ever since. I am certainly sur
prised at the results I received from
Tanlac and it gives me great pleasure
to rec ommend it,"
Mrs. Marden started to take Tan
lac lust about the right time, said the
Tanlac Man. to whom this remarkable
story was told.

was about to pass them he noticed
signal given by one of the women. to
stop his car and upon inquiring what
was wanted, was asked to stop his car
until they were done talking as the
roise of the engine made it dlfficult'for
them to carry on their conversation
The facts are that car was practically
