THE FINEST line of nuts, citron,
 lemon and orange peel, black figs. dates, prunes, seeded and seedless rais- ins, cider-in fact anything in fancy and staple groceries can be found at the Arizona Grocery, and the price is always less than asked elsewhere.

IRRESISTIBLY priced merchandise at this season of the year is really hard to believe. for sale before Christmas is almost unprecedented. Yet this is the very thing that is be- ing done by the Boston Store. It is q sale of such magnitude that we war
 rant one could buy an entire trousseau and procure every solitary article at the ridiculously low prices now in vogue. It is all because the Boston Store is preparing to move into it's handsome new quarters and when the move is made they wish their entire stock to be just as brand new as the building that is to house it. In the meantime the public benefits by the wait of the management for the store to be finished. The ready -to-wear de- partment is where interest naturally centers and we simply cannot express to you how wonderfully we were im- pressed by the collection of very smart and unusual suits that are being of- fered at 20 per cent discount. Plain tailored and fur trimmed in the ma terials now being worn. Tailored frocks in simple yet expressive style and afternoon gowns that we heard

A VERY Merry Christmas and a
 Happy New Year may be ex- pressed in so many different ways. To convey a sincere greeting and at the same time do it in a truly artistic way is an art in itself. Such greeting cards are in the stock of The Republican Print Shop where orders must be given this week if you wish them en- graved for holiday time. The Shop is located in the rear of The Arizona Re- publican building and the telephone number is 4499.

THE TIME of the year suggests that
 most necessary garment - the sweater. The Hub has a splendid col lection, many of them cravenetted, which is almost essential for the ap- preaching rainy season. Some have Raglan sleeves.

THERE must be a certain satisfac-
 tion in selling cars that do not re- quire mere salesmanship to make the sale. The Chalmers car, for instance, has made its place in the motor world and its many superior qualities are known to everyone who knows any thing at all about automobiles. The R. D. Roper Motor company, distributors of the Chalmers, also handles the Max well car, which, as you know, holds the worlds 24-hour speed record. The Maxwell leads all other cars in it's price class in every function of a mo- tor cars performance.

NEVER before, at least not since the
 Civil war, have people exercised as much care in shopping as at pres ent. This is going to be especially noticeable when 1t comes time to make the holiday purchases. And, by the way, that time is now for those who have gift for the soldier in mind. For him, and for anyone else you may remember at Christmas there is the always desirable in Mark Cross goods handled exclusively by McDougall & Cassou. Useful, distinctive and beau tiful-the sane gift is a Mark Cross novelty.

WAR WILL END
THIS SUMMER
This is What Prophecy Of Great ,Strug-
gle Written In seventeenth
Century Seems to
Think

Those who take astrology seriously,
and who love and fear the prophecies
| of astrologists, will be interested in
an old astronomical prophecy OF the
seventeenth century regarding the
present great war According to this
prediction the war will end August %,
1917.
The Revue de Ciel states that a
manuscript written in the seventeenth
century is now in the possession OF
Chevalier Month director OF the civic
museum at Como. The following is a
translation of this instrument:
when the first number shall meet
the ninth and when they two shall be
united with the first and the sixth
(1916), during the sixth month of the
year august according to the old cal
endar), and after two times four and
two times ten days shall have passed
august 2S), and the new races which
draw their name from Romulus (Rou-
mania) shall rise and shall ally them
selves with powerful nations. Then
the fierce beast who for two years and
one month (exact date Of the begin
ming Of the war; has been filling all
the earth with blood, with horror and
with carnage, now surrounded, smit-
ten from all sides and roaring in vain.
will seek whom he may devour, but
shall not find him. There shall be
new battles, while new moons shall
wax and wane thirteen times. The
fifth day after the sun leaves the sign
of the lion the beast shall die Of
fearful death. A virgin whose name
contains two iotas. two a1phas, tau
and lambda (Italia) shall crush his
head and the Latin peoples shall share
his spoils."
good half Of the prediction is al
ready accomplished; we shall see II
the remainder will conform to the be-
ginning. The articles continues:
THE 28th of August, 1916, was new
moon, and the thirteenth thereafter
falls on August II, 1917. So when
thirteen new moons have set. we shall
be at the 18th Of August Of this year.
The war would end then in the moon
which extends from the 18th of August
to the 18th of September, 1917. At
what date? That point the second
part of the prophecy determines.
1.-THE sun this year leaves the sign
Of the Lion on August %: the fifth day
thereafter brings us to. the 2Sth of the
same month. That is, according to
the author, the day which Is to mark
the end of the war. and 1t is at least
curious to note that scholar living
three or four centuries ago has been
able thus to determine two astronom-
ical circumstances. Events will tell
US whether the prophet was right and
whether really the present war will
come to an end on the 2Sth Of August
of this year"

Greatest Prize Fighters

pie who embarrassed the horses ane
took their places.
The first champion OF America was
Yankee" Sullivan, a true-born Irish
man The deeds and doings of this
remarkable man, who was in his prime
between the years of 1S40-1S50, would
fill a book. Sullivan did not lead a
! particularly exemplary life, and came
to a tragic end in California during
those wild days OF the gold rush" He
was the best-the trickiest-fghter OF
his day.
Champion Peter Maher.
The most dearly beloved of all the
Irish fighters was Peter Maher In
the spring of 1891 Billy Madden
brought from Dublin a fine, strapping
fellow-a broth of a lad the Irish
champion Peter Maher! Maher was
handsome fellow, a good boxer, and
the possessor of trem endous wal
lop. He began winning at once, and
his popularity among old Erin's sons
knew no bounds. Among those to fall
before his heavy hand were George
Godfrey, Frank Craig, Frank Slavin,
Joe Choynski, Steve O'Donnell (sever-
al times), and Yank Kenny. He fought
draws with Jim Hall, Gus Rubin, Tom
Sharkey and Joe McAuliffe.
Joe Goddard and Kid Mccoy were
also too good for the Irish champion.
| Maher had the better Of Tom Sharkey
| in a bout in New York just twenty
years ago this month, and also had
the satisfaction Of knowing that there
was 100000 in the house.
Jim Coffey of Roscommon is the
modern Peter Maher Coffey for time
looked like the next champion and RI
vailed old Peter in popularity. Frank
Moran crushed his hopes, and also the
hearts Of many Irishmen, when he
knocked him outs on two occasions.
However, Shamus is slowly coming
back and seems to be as popular as
ever among his faithful followers.
Jack Dempsey, Also.
/ Jack Dempsey. from County XII
dare, was much beloved. Many an
| Irish eye fills with tears at the sight
Of his picture. Dempsey was the mid
dleweight champion until knocked out
/ by Bob Fitzslmmons in 1891. He was
one of the greatest fighters of his
weight that ever graced the ring.
Jack MCAuliffe Is another. Jack
came from Cork and was the light
weight champion after Dempsey re
linquished it in 1885. Genial Jack
held the title until 1898, when he re

ATHLETES IN THE ARMY
Champ onship Events Would Attract
Too Many Contestants and Prob
ably Interfere With
Recruiting.
Try II. c. HAMILTON

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, April 20.-The elimi-
nation OF championship titles, In anna
teur sports during the war In order
to do away with the attraction such
games would have for athletes Is
very probable today following the
adoption OF resolutions by representa-
tives Of four bodies controlling the
foremost branches of organized anna
teur sports.
Officials of the Amateur Athletic
union, the intercollegiate Athletic
association, the United States Nation
al Lawn Tennis association and the
United States Golf association en-
dorsed the resolution. The move
provides that all scheduled compete
lions now contemplated shall be held
regardless of war conditions and that
the competition be thrown open to
the public. Medals and other similar
awards denoting championships how
ever, will not be awarded. Instead,
certificates will be issued indicating
the winners, but stating that, OWING
to war conditions, championships will
not be recognized.
The government, it Is stated, will
not be embarrassed in any way In Its
effort to induce men to join the
army. The aim, it is declared, will be
| to help in every way possible to send
athletes into the army and navy and
in addition help to condition other
men. The resolution recommends
that, during the war athletic meetings
should be held as patriotic demonstra
/ tions and as means of raising funds
| for the American Red Cross.
