PRESTONS ENTERTAINED.

Great surprise and regret attends the announcement that Mir. and Mrs. s. s. Preston will be no longer res dents of Arizona.
 MT. Preston has been identified with Northern Arizona for thirty years or more and in that time has not only made innumerable friends but has kept them as we'll. MT. and Mrs. Preston have been royal enter tainers at their Tuba home and Flag staff friends have vied to reciprocate this when the Prestons sojourned in Flagstaff. MT. and Mrs. Preston and and son, Scott, left Wednesday for an overland trip to Kentucky where MT. Preston will engage in farming. The trip will be broken by a visit in Wichita, Kansas, the home of Mrs. Preston With sincere regret their many friends bid them adieu but gave them many good wishes for the fu- ture.
 On Tuesday evening the J. w. Fran cis home was the scene of a small gathering of friends in compliment to MT. and Mrs. Preston. Cards and re- treatments were enjoyed by the fol- lowing: Mir. and Mrs. Preston, MT. and Mrs. A. J. Diamond, Mrs. E. M. Doe, Mrs. H. c. Lockett, Mrs. Colin Campbell, Miss Luella Campbell, Miss Lutie Paxton and Mir. Hugh Camp bell.

SUNDAY SCHOOL PICNIC.

A social event of the summer look ed forward to with great anticipation by the young people is the annual Sunday School picnic. This year the event was held in Clarke's pasture and more beautiful spot would have been hard to find.
 About hundred were in attend ance and the long table filled with everything delicious, held attractions for the young people and the older ones as we'll. Games were played af- ter dinner and after the fun the pie nicers left reluctantly for home.

Children CRY
FOR FLETCHER'S
CA STO IA
SACRED MUSHROOM OF AZTEC
1t Was Powerful Narcotic, Producing
the Most Fantastic
Visions.

Mushrooms are dangerous enough In
the United States, where those who
gather them and eat them prize their
flavor, and sometimes perish by reason
of wrong diagnosis, for there are dead
ly tOadStOOlS that look as much like
edible mushrooms as twins. In Mexico
1t would seem that the mushroom sit
uatlon Is worse than here, for while
Americans hunt mushrooms for food,
the Mexicans have reason to regard
them as both meat and drink. Read
the following statement Of what hap
pened after consuming the sacred
mushroom Of the Aztecs, remarks the
Evening Wisconsin.
1t is a powerful narcotic, produc-
ing the most fantastic visions, and Is
regarded by the Indians as a key
which, with their ceremonial, opens to
them all the glories Of another and
better world. A tincture made by
simply chopping up the plant and al
lowing 1t to soak in diluted alcohol
for a couple of weeks Is most serv-
iceable remedy for nervousness, head
aches and insomnia. When chewed
(the Indians say) 1t stops the painful
coughing Of consumptives.
Botanists say that the sacred much
room" Is not mushroom at all, but
cactus. That, however, Is merely
matter Of bald detail. What is impor-
tant is the action of the plant on the
system. This Is attributed to an al
Ealoid principle 1t contains known as
anhalonin, which chemists say Is sep
arabic in the form Of white, needlelike
crystals.
The plant resembles radish in
shape. 1t has buttonlike top, which
is all of it that appears above the
ground, and this is why 1t has been
taken for a mushroom. The top Is
covered with prickles.
The early missionaries disapproved Of
the sacred mushroom" Because its
use was part Of the religious ceremO-
malls Of the native priests, the good
missionaries called it devil root" An
other name of it is dream plant" be-
cause of the visions it produces. Be-
sides the dream-producing alkaloid, it
yields deadly poison; so it would
not do for people unfamiliar with the
plant to experiment with its effects
ON their own persons. People who
have had 1t administered to them by
physicians declare it Is remedy for
the headachy condition that follows
immoderate use of alcohol.
That the announcement Of this last
property of tae plant may not lead to
the conviction that war with Mexico
is absolutely necessary, 1t is added
that anybody wanting to grow sacred
mushrooms in the United States will
find that it Is easy to do SO under
glass.

MAN NOT REALLY STRONGER
Inspired and Fostered by the
GentIer Sex.

1t Is strange that no man envieS us;
that you never hear one of these lords
of creation bemoaning the fact that
he was born man and not woman.
Time and time again women will rail
against the supposed handicap of their
sex. Without so much as protest
they let the poet write about man as
''the noblest work Of God" 1t never
so much as occurred to them to dispute
or deny it.
It Is refreshing and no less surpris-
ing, then, to find in one of the current
magazines, the Unpopular Review, an
article on the joy of being woman.
Men are geniuses, the writer con-
tends, merely because women permit
them to be. Women lose nothing by
this generosity, since it is infinitely
more gratifying, more sOul-satisfying,
to have made Plato than merely to
have evolved his philosophy. Woman
deliberately and with malice afOre-
thought permitted herself to be sad
died with a reputation for weakness
so that man might grow strong enough
to be considered a worthy mate for
her.
MAN is timorous, self-distrustful
creature" the author writes, "who
would never have discovered his pow.
ers If not stimulated by woman's weak
ness.
women, conscious how they hold
mems welfare in their hands, simply
do not dare to discover how strong
they might be If they tried, because
they have so far used their physical
weakness not only as means Of
arousing mems good activities, but also
as a means of turning to nobler direc-
tions their bad ones. Men are natural
ly acquisitive, impelled to work for
gain and gold. Unable to deter them
from this impulse, we let them support
us, preserving for their sakes the fic'
tion that we are too frail to support
ourselves. s."-Philadelphia Ledger.

ments alleging antitrust activities by

aided by Bainbridge Colby and Mark
Hyman, prominent New York at

The three special appointments
were announced. At the same time
it became known that Heney has been
working on the case secretly for more
than a week. After studying the
Trade Commissions report, which
will be submitted to Congress, Heney
declared he is certain he can obtain
indictments (which will stand" No
intimation would be given as to the
nature of the commission report.
1t is known it positively denounces
present print paper prices as "unrea-
sonable and unwarranted," and that
the commission has some doubt that
a real print paper shortage exists, or
is threatened.

When Operators
Are Chauffeurs.
Important Ruling By Attorney
General Ritchie.

A decision fenueTeu DdluIidy Wy
Attorney General Richie affects the
pocketbooks of persons who drive
automobiles which are not owned by
them. 1t places them in the category
of chauffeurs employed by Others,
and directs them to pay to the state
the annual license fee of $3-instead
of an operators license, which costs
only S2-and is good for an indefinite
period. The only exception made is
in the case of friend of an owner
who takes out car for pleasure.
The ruling is the result of amend
ments to the stat" automobile laws,
which became eff cl.vc On July lst
last. Under the opinion of Mr..
Richie, even Commissioner Baugh-
man himself will have to take out a
chauffeur's licens', rs at times he
operates the commissioner car,
which is the property e the state.
All regular operators "f the muni-
cipal police patro and OF fire appa-
ratus both in Baltimore city and the
rural sections will also nave to take
out the chauffrur's cards, and this
rule will even apply to city employees
who from time to time drive the mu-
nicipal cars, even though they are
not regularly assigned to operate
them.
The 1916 amendments to the Mo-
tor Vehicle Laws are very stringent,
and Commissioner Baughman said
that his office would at once take
steps to enforce the chauffeur feature.
Col. Baughman added that few per-
sons object to paying the So annual
charge but they dislike having to
carry chauffeur's S cards and of being
ranked with drivers who operate cars
for livelihood. AS a result it is
probable that the Commissioner will
recommend to the next Assembly an
other amendment to the law chang,
ing the title chautfcur's license' to
that of paid operator" or some sim.
liar title. The Richie opinion di-
vides those who must obtain chauf
frur's cards into several sections.
First, the Attorney General deals with
owners of operators cards and says
that these may onl y be legally OBJ
tanned by persons who operate their
own or friends cars for pleasure
alone.
Chauffeur's cards must be obtained
by persons who operate motor-vehicl"s
for hire for themselves or if they ar
the employees of owners OF such cars;
also all persons who operate motor
vehicles where any charge is madr for
the carrying of passengers for com
modities. Third, shop mechanics t
garages must also obtain such cards
because of their occasional testing out
of customers cars which are left for
repairs Further, anyone employed
in any capacity who may at any tim
operate an employers car must OBJ
tain chauffrur's license. This ap-
plies to store clerks and others W hr
are employed at some other occupa.
ton than operating motor vehicle
but who are called upon from time to
time to temporarily drive car.
Lastly, the law applies to all Off
GERS, directors or stockholders and
employs of any corporation who may
operate in any capacity any car owned
by such corporations. This latter
feature applies particularly to officers
and statesmen of automobile com
panies who drive about in cars be-
longing to such companies, whether
such driving is for the purpose of
or for any private
purpose.

ALONG The. WATER FRONT

tributes what is most characteristic to
the local color of Saloniki. The foun-
dation of her costume Is petticOat of
some dark silk, and a white bodice
crossed below her throat-a very thin
bodice, cut very low at the neck and
palpably unstiffened by any such mail
as western women arm themselves
with.
Over this superstructure the old lady
wears dark skirt bolero lined with
fur and two striped silk aprons-one
before and one behind. The latter Is
caught up on one side, some corner of
1t being apparently tucked into a mys-
terious pocket. But the crown and
glory of the old lady is her headdress
a sort of fiat frame, tightly wound
about with stamped or embroidered
handkerchief, and crowned with an
oval plaque set off by seed pearls.
Whatever its color, this creation in
variably ends in a fringed tail of dark
green silk, also ornamented by gilt
or gold plaque Of seed pearls, hanging
half way down the old lady's back. In
this wonderful tail she keeps her hair,
of which you see not scrap, unless at
the temples. And about her throat
she wears strings and strings Of more
seed pearls.
She is, this decorative, this often ex-
tremely handsome old lady, o mother
in Israel. The old gentleman in the
gaberdine is her legitimate consort,
while many of the modernized young
people at the cafe tables are their de-
scendants-very many. A dozen differ
ent estimates of the population are
given, varying according to the race Of
the informant; but they all agree on
the point that Saloniki contains not
far from 100000 people and that more
than half of them are Jews.

most positively denied that such was
the case. and was vigoously endorsed
by many Of the colored people in the

where the negro had been and is
