Riding outside the city, one will not
fail to see the wide eXpanse of potato
plants growing luxuriously, and forth
with he INDUCES in anticipations Of
the golden plenty that is soon to be the
good fortune of our people, But cloud,
ing these anticipations is dark fear
that the speculator will invade these
premises and get nearly all these pOta-
toes into his own hands and by some
sort of restriction or limitations so
work the prospects that he will be
able to keep up the price and gather
in the profits, says the Ohio State Jour
nal. 1t would be decided advantage
to the public welfare If it could be so
decreed that no producer should sell
to mere speculator. There is no Op-
preston In that. OF course, 1t might
stave of little Inconvenience, but it
will pay In the end. Let us hope that
the beautiful potato prospect will turn

FLOWER GARDEN.

TN an old-fashioned garden" said
Daddy, "there were many Of the same
flowers that grow up year after year.
In the spring the hyaclnths, the lilies
Of the valley, the crocus plants, the
daffodils and tulips all came up and
blossomed.
Sometimes they were a little early
and the cool days would come which
half-froze them, but they bravely kept
their little heads up and the sun usu-
ally rewarded them by coming back
and shining on them so as to make
them warm.
"Then there were the lilacs on the
bushes. Such lovely lilacs as there
were. Some were white, and some
were purple, and there were lovely
lavender ones, which were called Per-
sian.'
"And then came the time for roses
and lilies, peonies and tall iris flow
ers. And the more flowers that came
out, the more did the butterflies and
hummlng birds come to the garden for
their meals of delicious flower honey.
Now one day, the flowers were growing
up that had been planted by seed. The
roses were whispering in the soft sum-
mer wind. And their whispering made
the air so fragrant and sweet. That
was really not at all surprising for
they were whispering secrets of how
much they loved the sun and the gar
den and how well they were looked aft
er, and how many buds they thought
would open the next day.
"One was saying, I'm going to the
big ball tonight

ball. repeated the rose. I am not just
sure which one, but it's to be very
big and splendid. I am being saved
for the girl who loves us SO, and who
spends so much time over us. I am
going to be worn by her. Yes, and
am to give color to her dress, she said.
She is to wear white dress and as I
am dark and red will make her look
quite dressed-up. That was what she
said. Think of the honor of making
someone feel dressed up at a ball.

in obedience to orders, he had locked

Smith nodded.
"All right. A little while past din

gentleman whose face you've seen

Stanton was in for a wigging-and got

aiming to be known as the Escalante

Again Smith nodded, and said, "Go

"After number five had gone Stanton
broke for his autocab, looking like he
could bite nail in two. 1 happened
to hear the order he gave the shower,
and had my cayuse hitched over at
Bob Sharkey's joint. Naturally,

while didn't beat him to 1t, got
there soon enough. 1t was out at JEFF
Barton's roadhouse on the Topaz trail

room with a sort of tin-horn bad man
named Lanterby."
"You listened?" said Smith still
without eagerness.
"Right you are. And they fooled me-
Two schemes were on tap: one point

other at you. These were both last

telling you right here and now, that
bunch is going to get you, even If 1t
costs money!
"You say Stanton said he had one
more string to pull: he didn't give it
a name, did he?"
"No, but I've got a notion of my
own" was the ready answer. Hes

asked the little flowers that had grown
up from seeds which had been planted
early In the spring. There were candy
tufts, mignonettes, poppies and many
others.

until a certain time, and then for a
great entertainment. We will not be
used for anything at all, but will be
saved for something very fine. Yes,
something very specialp
ave don't know what to make Of
it ALL said the mignonettes.
"'You don't know what to make of

"T know you are beautiful and so
very fragrant said one little mlgnon-
cite. But we try to be as sweet as
sweet can be, too. And we look our
best. We can't be big and beautiful
like roses, but we do try to be as nice
as we can, ard sometimes, sometimes
1t hurts our feelings q little to have
folks say that roses are the only flow
ers worth while.'
"I am sure said the first rose,
that no one says that. We are consid-
cred fine, 1t is true, but you've never
known it to spoil us, have you? We've
never grown conceited. 1t has just
made us happy and proud. And we
have never lost our sweetness. Still
roses are fragrant as they ever were.
You mustn't feel hurt, little mignon-
cites. We're sure you'll be picked for

"Just then two little girls came out
in the garGAn. They each had pair
of scissors and were picking flowers
for the old-fashioned house. 4 never

little girl. Just which is my favorite
flower. One day say that have de-
clded on three and the next day have
chosen three more. After all, think

are sweet or bright or lovely in some
way, and they make me so very, very
glad I'm alive
"Yes, said the second little girl, I
am the same way, but have decided
that no one flower is my fayorite, but
that all flowers are my favorites.'
And the flowers in the garden each
nodded their pretty heads in thanks,

CHAPTER xIv-continued.


Stanton was still wrestling with his
problem when the Handsome couple"
returned from the play. The trust
field captain saw them rs they crossed
the lobby to the elevator and again
marked the little evidences of familiar
ity. "That settles IT," he mused, with
an outthrust of the pugnaclOus Jaw.
"She knows more about Smith than
anybody else in this neck of woods
and she's got It to tell"
Stanton began his inquisition for bet
Ter information the following day, with
the bejewclled lady for his ally. Miss
Richlander was alone and unfriendcd
IN the hotel-and also little bored.
Hence she was casy Of approach; so
easy that by luncheon time the sham
promoters wife was able to introduce
her husband. Stanton lost no moment
investigative. For the inquiring pur-
pose, Smith was made to figure as
business acquaintance, and Stanton
was generous in his praises of the
young mans astounding financial abil-
sty.

Miss Richlander offered. His name is
really and truly John Smith"

haven't you?" inquired the lady with
the headlight diamonds.
"Oh, yes; for quite long time, in
deed"
THAT was back In New York stQte?"
Stanton slipped in.
I'm the East, yes. He comes Of en-

Stanton craftily. But Miss Verda was

her.
Cur home state, of course. I don't
believe any member of Mr.. Smiths

Stanton gave It up for the time be-

-secrecy-he might have hackers who
wished TO remain completely unknown

BALL PLAYERS Ill
GAME POSTPONED

The ball game scheduled to be
played between the Smelter and the
Mine last Sunday was postponed on
account of so many of the Ray play
ers being i'll. Six of the boys were
laid up as a result of slight touch
of ptomaine poisoning. Those who
were on the sick list were Harry
Scanlon, Jack Bromley, Nick DeMag-
gio, Tom Downy, Wally Smith and
Rex Sorrey.
Tom Downy was confined to his bed
for several days and, not showing
much improvement, was taken to the
hospital. He is sufficiently recovered
to be up and around, but sstill very
weak and probably will not resume
his duties for week
1t has not been decided just when
the postponed game will be played,
and it may not be played at all, if the
local club can retain their lead in the
balance of the games of the series.
The Mill and the Mine are sched-
uled for contest tomorrow at Ray.

HUNDREDS ATTEND FAREWELL DANCE
To DRAFTED BOYS Of RAY. CAPT.
NELSON MADE FAREWELL TALK

Last Saturday evening will long be
remembered by the citizens of Ray
and especially those who have been
called to the colors as result of the
selective draft. The occasion was a
farewell dance given to the soon de-
parting boys by the Loyalty League
and Ray Con Club. These two bodies
were chosen as hosts because their
membership includes almost every
person in town, and as this was to
be the last farewell gathering for the
boys it may truthfully be said that
every citizen in the camp participated
as host
One of the most pleasing parts of
the, entertainment was the stirring
and eloquent speech made by Capt.
Nelson who was asked to be present
on this occasion. Capt. Nelson, who
is also state physician, has been Civ
ing lectures throughout the state as
a representative of the Council of De
fense and has met hundreds of people
and knows the situation probably bet
ter than any other one man in the
state. His talk was wholly along
patriotic lines and for thirty minutes
he held the large audience which
gathered on the dance platform and
around it, with unusual interest. Capt.
Nelson is forceful speaker and
knows his subject well. If there was
a person in the audience whose in
nermost soul did not respond to the
remarks of the captain, it is certain
there is not an ounce of good red
American blood in that particular
persons body.
The big surprise OF the evening
came Immediately after the talk made
by Captain Nelson. The surprise

airy, who are stationed here. The
boys of Troop "D'' outdid themselves
to please the large crowd who attend
ed, and the evening proved a great
success. High-class music was fur
nished by the Ray Con. club orchestra
and along toward the close of the
dance refreshments were served. At
ter the refreshments, the guests were
treated to some exhibition dances by
local people and for which prizes were
given.
The boys of the troop state that
they are so we'll pleased with the sue

and which, of course, will be looked
forward to by local society folks.

couple left for tour of the Grand

employed as trained nurse for the
past four years.

SECOND SERIES.

The Smelter evened up the score
in the series by winning from
the Mill team last Wednesday. The
Smelter should have played the Mines
at Ray last Sunday but owing to the
fact that several of the Mine team
. boys were i'll the game was post
poned and will be played at some
future time.
In the game with the Mill last
Wednesday the Smelter led all the
way but came near having the score
tied up in the eighth frame. The game
from spectators point of view was
one of the finest this season and
many excellent and smart plays were
executed by the players on both teams
Gallon and Critchlow we're each
credited with a home run and with
driving a man in ahead of them. That
was sufficient to get the lead that
was never overcome.
The Mill team will play at Ray
tomorrow, provided the Mine team
is in condition to play. Six of the
players have been laid up all week
as a result of getting a touch of
Ptomaine poisoning and it is very
doubtful if they will be in good shape
by Sunday. Then the loss of DeMag-
gio who goes to the army service is
also a hard blow to the local club.
DeMaggio was not only hitting well
at this particular time but is one Of
the best if not the best outfielders
in the league. He left Wednesday

GOES AFTER PAY OF
PRIVATE SECRETARY


PHOENIX, Sept. 6.-Adjutant Gen
eral Harris filed a protest Tuesday
with the state auditor against that
official paying the salary of Malcolm
Frazier, private secretary to Governor
Campbell. The grounds for the pro
test are that Frazier was not a citizen
of Arizona at the time he was ap-
pointed, nor has the governor filed
any affidavit with the state auditor,
as required under the appropriation
law which authorizes Frazier's pay, to
the effect that no resident of the state
is qualified to perform the service for
which Frazier was engaged.
