Charged with having stolen several
Springfield rifles, the property of the
Phoenix Gun club, and some 1880
Winchesters, the property of the city of
Phoenix and in use by the Police Re
serves, George Davis and John Becker,
arrested by the police yesterday morn
ing, were arraigned Yesterday before
Justice of the Peace Wheeler. In de-
failt of bail in the sum Of $500 EACH the
defendants were remanded to the coun-
ty Jail
Despite the fact that rumors spread
Yesterday that the robbery of the Ma
tional Guard armory, where the rifles
were stored, was part of an alien plot
to acquire guns and other government
property there was not one incident
connected with the case warranting
this belief Chief of Police George o.
Brisbois said il was a case of simple
stealing on the part of the two youths.
Davis. who is said to be seventeen
years old, will probably be transferred
to the juvenile court. Davis and Becker
had been sleeping at the armory and
had possessed themselves OF the keys
to various lockers in the armory. They
are said to have confessed that they
planned to steal an Oldsmobile machine
and make the trip to Needles. Cal. TAX

CROW I'll
CLEARLY SHOWN

In a statement given out yester-
day. Postmaster Selin Nicholson Of
Phoenix, incidentally furnished some
very tangible data upon the growth
Of Phoenix during the past year.
This comes in the form of a state
ment of the postoffice receipts at
the Phoenix postoffice for the six
months ending June 80, 1917.
This is the acid test for the growth
of any community, for which its
ders, stamps, registered mail, parcel
over the activities of every indi-
vidual and interest in the district.
This gives it an added interest TO
those observing the growth of the
district from which the report comes,
inasmuch as it does not represent
the progress made by any one Gloss
of people or interests.
The report shows that the receipts
for the six months ending June 50,
1917 amount to $S7516.12To get an
accurate and fair estimate of the
growth of the district, this total
is compared to the same six months
ending June 80, 1916. This total
amounted to $50, 663.49, which shows
an increase of $17,S52.65, for the
six months just passed over the
same six months a year ago. Or in
round numbers, it represents a
growth of twenty-five per cent in
all interests doing business with the
postoffice at Phoenix.
Taken in quarterly reports the
records run true to form. For the

ment and control of state ihstitu-
tons which visited the industrial
school last week found that Of 30
native walnut trees which had been
grated with French walnut by an
expert tree doctor in the spring of
1916 there had not been single
failure. On the grounds of the in
dustrial school are more than 300
walnut trees, and the commission be-
lieves that every one of them can
be saved through this process of
grating French walnuts. Some OF
the trees carry six and seven CRAFTS,
and the commissioners declare that
the success achieved is remark
able.
The orchard, containing apple,
peach, apricot and other fruit trees
and which was formerly a part Of
the old parade ground, is making a
phenomenal growth, according to
Doane Merrill, chairman of the COM
mission. There will be greater
acreage next year The alfalfa acre
age also is to be increased. This
has been reclaimed from rocky,
almost barren ground, in a manner
that has attained surprising results.
The commission will also have vine
yards set out.
At present there are at the in
dustriaI school eighty boys and TWEEN
ty girls, the health of all of whom
is good. They are wellfed, the com
missioners declare. The present sup
erintendent, T. E. Pulliam, has been
in charge of the school for two and
one half years. All the labor at the
school, including that on the grounds,
is done by the boys and girls Of the
school.
The entire commission was at the
school. According to the statutes,
the whole commission must visit
each state institution at least once
every six months, and a visit every
month must be made to each in
stitution by at least one member
of the commission.

IS
BEST IN LAND

Phoenix excels in many things, and
in many of these things the very
people of the cit who should be
best informed do not know how ex-
cellent the work is until recognition
comes elsewhere The latest addition
to the list of things in which citi-
zens and business houses excel, as
found by national competition, is in
the making of rubber stamps. The
national prize for the best rubber
stamp made in America has come
to a Phoenix man, H. D. Wilson
of the Mcneil company.
Some time ago the National Maya
zine devoted to this branch of print
ing instituted q national competi-
ton in which many of the leading
rubber stamp makers of America
took part. In the list was Mr.. Will
son of the Mcneil company and it
fell to him to carry off the bacon,
winning the national prize for the
best work done in the United States
This is but another example of
efficiency found in local business
establishments which emphasizes the
advantage of home trading

Up At WILCOX

II. A. Morgan, prominent banker and
business man of Wilcox, was in Phoe
nix Monday on business That Mr.
Morgan is a prominent business man
in Wilcox is affirmed in the following
story which was told at the state house
yesterday by Thomas E. Pulliam, SUI
perintendent of the state industrial
school at Fort Grant:
Mr. Pulliam's sister is a teacher in
the public schools at Wilcox and one
day recently in her school room she
asked of class who was the father
of this country" Numerous answers
were given to the question, such as A.
Lincoln. Theodore Roosevelt and 9TH
ers, when one small boy who was born
and raised in Wilcox insisted in eager
terms that he knew who was the father
of this country and declared it was II.
A. Morgan. Inasmuch as Mr.. Morgan
was there when Wilcox was started,
the answer is not far from right, it is

PREVENT WASTE

The people of the United States
have not yet awakened to the fact
that we are actually at war. The
situation is serious and it is go
ing to be more so unless we as
American citizens get to work
and do our bit" The greatest
bit we can do is right here at
home and especially in the home.
Conserve our food-the surplus is
great and we do not want one
single pound wasted. Every one
hundred pounds saved now-and
at small Xpense-will save the
life of some starving soldier. If
you are the one with the surplus
see that some one gets it and
puts it to use-or phone the
Council of Defense, 1884, and it
win see that it is taken care of.
Do it now and do not let it go
to waste.

announced that he would enlist in the
navy if the proceedings be dropped.
His suggestion was carried out and he
was ordered TO report TO the court. He
failed to do so. His first appearance be-

NJ CRACKEN IS
AWARDED $3.50

Paul B. McCraken was awarded
damages in the sum of $3.50 by a jury
in Judge Lyman's court yesterday
where McCracken brought suit against
H. b. Wilkinson, president of the Phoe-
nix Title and Trust company.
The suit grew out of a criminal pro-
ceeding brought by Wilkinson against
McCracken which was dismissed from
the justice court without any evidence
being introduced by the defendant or
argument offered by his counsel.
The greater part of yesterday, the
second day of the trial, was given over
to the testimony by Wilkinson and his
stenographer Miss Pat Davidson. The
arguments occupied but an hour.
McCracken sued for $4,000 actual
damages, $4,000 punitive damages and
$3.50 attorneys fees. He was represented
by Billiard and Jacobs and Wilkinson
was represented by John Gust.

SIDE TALKS
Those Queer Feelings.
~ RUTH CAMERON.

One or the many things that happens
to every young person Is TO discover
that he Is an unusual and singular per-
son. that he has strange thoughts. that
he is subject TO peculiar feelings that
probably came to anyone else.
And one Of the manay awakenings
that como to the same young person
as he grows a little older also have
these thoughts and feelings.
Those Haunting, Haunting HALF
Memories.
We were discussing some Of these
queer sensations tho other day OF
course the commonese OF them Is tho
senese that somewhere before you have
been in just the same position, hoard
the same things said and made tho
Same answer. The average young per-
son is inclined to fancy that this Is
some memory Of q former existence,
some vision that the shades Of the
prison house" have not yet been able
10 shut out He thinks that he is Pc
culiarly favored. When he discovers
that almost everyone Is subject 10 these
haunting, haunting half memories he
is surprised-and probably not wholly
pleased.
Could Anyone Think 'r' Instead
OF mo"
Another experience that most Of us
have had Is that of catching glimpse
Of oneself In the glass and suddenly
becoming detached from oneself. One
realizes all at once that person in
there: the person that other people see
and talk with and that I never really
see is me- q can't imagine anyone
highbrow. enough to think Il" instead
of me" at such q moment.)
One feels momentarily as II ono had
lost ones grip on oneself; had become
detached from that physical body and
couldn't got back In. as II one were Slip
ping off the world Of material things
and whirling away into space: 1 have
really felt almost physically dizzy
from my body.
To 800 . Familiar Housemate Az If
For tho FIRST Time.
Still another of these psychological
experiences is to suddenly see q familiar
housemate as II for the first time. I
think this most often happens with
husbands and wives. One looks across
the reading table where he Is sitting be-
hind hts evening paper and wonders
suddenly. why IS he hcre7 Isn't It
queer that we should have separated
ourselves from tho rest Of the world 10
live In a house together. Isn't 1t queer
tnAl we, VINO never tet I'LL &c" years
ago. should have left our kindred and
como together this way7" And for n
moment he becomes almost like
stranger. Then the commonplace re-
asserts itself in some way. and tho
world swings back into It's ordinary
orbit
Perhaps there will be some readers
who will Judge me to be a 1T subject for
the psychopath!c ward from these con-
fessiona But for every one who feels
that way I am willing to wager that
there will be ten who will say to them
selves Why. that's Just the way I've
felt sometimes"

MOVIE ACTRESSES AND
THEIR HAIR

Did it ever occur to you that
every movie actress you have seen
has lovely hair, while the most.
popular count their curls as their
chief beauty? In fact. many are
leading ladies just because Of their
attractive locks. Inquiry among
them discloses the fact that they
bring out all the natural beauty Of
their hair by careful shampooing,
not with any soap or makeshift, but
with simple mixture by putting
a teaspoonful Of canthrox (Which
they. get from the druggist) In
cup Of hot water and applying this
instead of soap. This full cup Of
shampoo liquid is enough so 1t Is
easy to apply it to all the hair In
stead of Just the top Of the head.
After its use. the hair dries rapidly
with uniform color. Dandruff. e1-
cess oil and dirt are dissolved and
entirely disappear. The hair IS so
fluffy that it looks much heavier
than 1t Is, while its lustre and soft
ness Is delightful.
