Plumbers.
Whenever you invite TIE plumb
ers in to spend the week and fix the
kitchen faucet you should plan ahead.
Have everything in readiness.
Plumbers are often a little hurt to
see that there have been no prepara-
lions. Plumbers take these things
very keenly.
If a pipe is leaking and you are
going to have the plumbers come,
move everything out of the kitchen
so they will have room for their
tools. With good weather and no
mishaps they may get all of their
tools around the first day.
good days work for two plumbers
and boy. On the second day they
examine the leak and make notes and
then get busy planning the weeks
work on it. If the leak is a plain
hole then the thing is simple and they
finish it up in Smart shape within the
week.

INDIAN SCHOOL
 BAND WILL bE
 HEARD SUNDAY

Augmented to thirty five pieces. with the band of last year practically intact. and benefitting from the careful train ing under the direction of Bandmaster r. A. Venne, the Indian School Band today lays just claim to being the lare- est and most accomplished musical er- ganization in the southwest. So well as- sured of this is the management of the Indian, School, an invitation has been issued for the people of Phoenix to vis- It the school grounds this afternoon at 4;15 o'clock, at which hour will begin most interesting concert program.
 The invitation at this time is given for a tWo-fold reason. The first is that the people of this city may judge for themselves as to the proficiency of this musical organization. The second is to give many citizens their first sight of the new bandstands recently erected in the beautiful grounds of the institution. The band made record for the school last year, the best in the history of the institution, This year the same members are to be found in the band with number of new members added. This means that the band has praeti- .eally been in continuous training, with the exception of brief vacation per iod. While the band is in general de- mand for various gatherings in this city, the citizens generally have not had the opportunity to hear it at it's best, on the home grounds, as it were
 Bandmaster Venne hopes that the public will respond to this invitation, not only because of the encouragement it will give the musicians in their work, but for the real pleasure it will

Official admission has been made in Germany that owing to the very bad bread, epidemic bread sickness is prev alent in many places.

 The German authorities are much concerned about the harvest and it is impossible to avoid the conclusion that the prospects are not so bright as was anticipated.
