 After the dainty three course
 lunch was served, each guest
 was presented with a tiny pink satin vanity bag from which peeped small white cat and on
 letting the cat out of the bag' pictures of cupid's latest victims were found miniature powder puffs.
 Places were laid for Mesdames Frank Wallace, D. J. Thomas, L.. Caldwell, Will R. Scorse, Lloyd c. Henning, w. J. Hookway, Frank R. Goodman. and w. R. Richards. Misses Mechanism, Milestone, Smith, Wallace, Anna Greer and Bertha Wallace. J
 The news of the marriage en- gagement of Miss Wallace will come as a surprise to some of that young lady's friends. For the last year and a half she has held a responsible position in the Merchants & Stockgrowers bank of Holbrook, for eight months of that time performing the duties of assistant cashier. That she had decided to abandon a busi- ness career so ausplciously begun was known to only her most in- innate friends.
 Judge D. J. Thomas, cashier of the Merchants & Stockgrowers bank, as well as other members of the directorate, have imposed absolute confidence Tn Miss Wal lace's integrity and business ability; they have found her not only competent to grasp the in- tricate details of banking, but anxious and willing to master the business. That they will re- gret to lose the services of the young lady goes without saying; and it is equally true that their best wishes for a happy and | married life will go with her.

Wonderful Arizonq Product

| AClZOQa IS nOL6Q TOT US QumGr- ous and phenomenal undeveloped resources. Its copper, gold, silver, tin, zinc, lead, iron, etc. , have all been found in abun- dance, but now comes J. C.. Crawford, a rubber expert of many years experience, and brings out the astounding fact that Arizona has more raw mat erial from which the finest rub Der can be made than any other part of the habitable globe. MT. Crawford has organized the Ari- zona Chicle Gum company with only local people behind it. and will soon begin active manufac- turing operations.
 About three years ago MT. Crawford discovered that the OcotIllo plant, which grows in abundance in Arizona's waste places, contained from 15 to 25 per cent rubber. After demon strating this fact beyond a doubt he organized the company just referred to, and considerable quantities of the gum were ex- tracted and sent to various rub Der manufacturing houses. After severe tests the OcotlIlo gum was declared equal to anything ever put on the market.
 Millions have been made in the rubber business in this country, and 1t seems safe to state at this time that Arizona is in a fair way to secure her proportion of the wealth distributed by the in- dustry. The local company will not be compelled to enter into the manufacture of rubber arti- cles. as there are great tire houses and rubber goods con- cerns that stand ready to buy the raw gum as fast as it can be ex- tracted.
 At the present time it appears that the stockholders of this company stand an excellent chance to make tremendous re- turns upon their investments, while thousands of dollars will be brought into the state and generally distributed. The Geo. tilIo plant is found on the desert, in most cases away from a rail- road. and many men and teams must be employed, not only in harvesting the plant. but in get ting the product to shipping point. -Dunbar's Weekly.

Generous Acts of Kindness
 Wednesday morning a number of Holbrook business men de- cided tbat it would be a worthy act to investigate the situation of family of tourists that had been camped for nearly two weeks north of the section fore mans house in Holbrook, and if it were found that assistance was needed, to offer it.
 This investigation disclosed the fact that the family, com posed of husband, wife and four small children, were in sadly strengthened circumstances. They had been enroute to Phoenix in two wagons drawn by burrows when the snow storm made it impossible for them to proceed. When they stopped in Holbrook they had little money and it was hoped that the wife might secure work sufficient to keep the family from want, the husband being confined to his bed by illness.
 Until the business men started their inquiries none knew of the condition of the family, and the heroic struggle being made by the mother to secure the neces- sities of life for her loved ones. With the courage of the Spartan mothers of old this mother spent the days looking for and doing whatever work she could find. and the nights in caring for her sick husband. Too proud to ask for assistance the family might l have reached the stage of star vation had not resident of Hol- brook suggested an investiga- ton.
 Immediately after the condi- tion of the family became known. 1 a movement was started to rem der aid to them. W. J. Hookway | volunteered to circulate a sub | scription paper among the busi- ness men. But few people ap- preached failed to respond and the donations ranged from S2.50 | down to 25 cents. A list of the donors would include practically | every resident of Holbrook who | learned of the circumstances. A sum of money amounting to $60 was quickly secured. Part ot this sum was used in purchas- ing provisions and the balance will be gwen to the family in cash.
 The generous manner in which | the people of Holbrook responded | to the call for relief of suffering is worthy of the highest praise. No greater example of that noblest of all virtues charity was eyer shown. It should be cause for gIadness in the hearts of all the people that they live in such a community-a commu- nifty in which love of fellow men predomitates, and where the people consider it not alone a duty, but a privilege to con- tribute to the relief of the poor and distressed.

SMUGGLERS CAUGHT
WITH AMMUNITION

NOGALES, Sept. 3-One of the
biggest ammunition catches that has
occurred in this section for some time
was accomplished yesterday lby the
clever work of Van Curtis, special
agent for the Government, who took
into custody three men giving the
names of Paul Carrigan, G. A. Brown
and c. T. Tribe.
More than 5000 rounds of revolver
and rifle ammunition was found in
an automobile driven by the trio.
The men came here from Winkelman,
the car being driven by Tribe who
maintains that he did not know the
contents of the box placed in his care
by the other members of the party.
Tribe will be given another chance
to make a statement by Curtis and ii
he fails to tell what he knows of the
affair he will be charged as an accom-
plice in the case. From the evidence
gathered by Special Agent Curtis and
Deputy Sheriff Deegan, the men were
endeavoring to smuggle the ammuni-
tion into Mexico.

.LORDSBURG BOOTLEGGERS
FAIL To REACH P|NAL

An outfit which once before made
a visit to these parts was stopped
from repeating it's visitation to the
Ray district by Graham county off
GERS. The affair is described in a
Graham county paper as follows:
Most of the east end police force
was connected with the rounding-up
of Frank Becker and Lester Eller,
bootleggers, who tried to run the
blockade Friday morning. Even Judge
A. G. McAlister sat into the game for
a short time. The judge was up early
and noticed Super-Six go by. Now
adays when Super sails by, driven
by strangers, it is an object of sus-
picion, so Judge McAlister 'phoned
Sheriff Mcbride the cause of his sus-
pfcion.
Mcbride is getting to be regular
miser He can't bear to see suspi-
cious car go by, when, by capturing
one. it usually means 1000 of Lords
burgs brightest dollars The sheriff
phoned to Deputy Talley of Thatcher
to ambush the car as it came through
and then he and Deputy Skaggs left
for the 'front.'
Deputy Talley and Officer Allen
were on the job and attempted to stop
the suspects. The driver worked the
ancient ruse of slowing down until
he came close to the officers, then
went by under full steam. Both Off
GERS sent a volley of shots after them
and one of the rear tires went flat
"All four officers, together with sew
eral citizens, gave pursuit The car
left the main trail and bid fair to get
seeing that retreat was cut off, the
bootleggers left the car and sought
the solitude and quiet of nearby
corn field. Willis Daley discovered
them, and they surrendered and were
taken up to to spend the weekend at
Graham's much-frequented resort.
'The car contained the usual COM
plement of twenty cases of booze.
"They pleaded guilty before Judge
McAlister. Bond was fixed at $1,000
cash each. While the pair had only
$18 visible assets, the folks at home
came across, and the boys mended
the punctured tire and joined that in
Vulnerable caravan whose destination
is the Lordsburg oasis.''

HERE'S A RECORD
FOR POTATO SHARKS

That Irish potatoes can be grown
in the ella valley successfully was
demonstrated easily by Alma Peter
son OF Graham, who has realized
$52l5O from 11a acres planted this
year, says the Graham Guardian.
Mr.. Peterson planted his seed po-
totoes last February to 115 acres.
From this acreage he secured 85
sacks, averaging 116 pounds to the
sack, and received an. average price
of $3.50 per sack, or total of $521.5O.
If our farmers would follow Mr.. Pet
erson's lead as a grower of potatoes,
the Gila valley would realize a crop
that would meet easily all home de-
mands, as well as shipments to out
side markets.
Mr.. Peterson will put five acres in
potatoes next year and expects to
realize a full crop

MEXICAN LABOR TO
PICK COTTON CROP

PHOENIX, Sept. 6.-Four hundred
Mexicans arrived here today from No
gales to work in the cotton fields of
this valley. They will comprise the
first quota of 1000 men and women
who will be called into action before
October 1.
This is but the first of a series OF
shipments, according to w. II. Knox
of the Salt River Valley Egyptian
Cotton Growers association, who be-
lieves he has all the men placed. If,
however, there are any cotton grow
ers, alfalfa producers or dairymen
who wish to employ any of the first
importation they are requested to
communicate with Mr.. Knox at once
He can be reached at Tempe
Basing his opinion on the promises
made him for labor, he believes that
it will be necessary to bring many
more men into the valley in a few
weeks time
By a special dispensation of the
immigration law it has been possible
to bring in the workmen for period
of six months, Secretary Wilson sus-
pending the rule for strictly agricul-
tural purposes, and it's suspension will
reap a rich harvest for the valley, de-
clares Knox.
AS far as possible the association,
he says, has attempted to look toward
the moral tone of the camp, and prac-
tically all Of the men who arrived
here are accompanied by their fami-
lies. The women and children, as
well as the men, will work in the cot
ton fields.
