If can dry one tear today,
Hold back one soul that wants to
stray,
Or show to one the Higher Way,
My life will fuller be.
If can speak one soothing word,
Inspire talent, yet unstirred,
Or check some sentence, best unheard,
My life will fuller be.
If l can spare of my scant store
A mite to cheer some life more poor,
If some lost hope l can restore,
My life will fuller be.
If I can keep my thoughts all pure,
My words all kind, my deeds are sure
Some heart from even to allure,
And life will fuller be.

ADJUSTMENTS
Riverside Park

With a full pool today and a dance tonight, those who take their outings at Riverside, may be sure of maximum of enjoyment Preceding the dane, there will be an excellent picture show, "A Mans Work" an Essanay drama In three parts and Otto the Artist" a good Lubin comedy.
 The attention of those who attend the park in their own machines, is particu- larly directed to the new speed limit signs just erected along the driveway into the park. The management is en- deavoring to do everything possible to make this popular resort safe for every one, and has. therefore, entered into an arrangement with the county board of supervisors. in an effort ,o assist IT. curbing the tendency on rne part or some to use the park drive as speed way. While those who have so offended. in this particular have been very few in number, and it is believed, have done so thoughtlessly, it was thought best to post a proper warning so that no one might in future forget to drive with due caution. It is hoped that all those who attend the park will perceive the justice of the request and conform to the new regulation

ARGUMENTS LIN
 DEMURRER MADE

Arguments on the demurrer to the complaint in the case of the state yer sus the Wolpe Drug company, in which the defendant is charged with violating the eight hour law for women, were heard before Judge Stanford yester- day. The court will rule in the matter on Thursday.
 The state was represented by County Attorney L. M. Laney and the de- fendant corporation by Bullard and Jacobs. Mr Jacobs contended that the superior court had no jurisdiction in the case He stated that the offense charged was simple misdemeanor since the statute on which it was brought fixed a minimum penalty of fine of s25 or 30-day jail sentence and that no maximum punishment was provided He further contended that if a maximum penalty was prescribed il was the one provided by section 19 of the penal code. which gives the justice court exclusive jurisdiction in a case of this kind. The constitutionality oi the statute was also questioned. IT support of his argument MT. Jacobs cited the authorities of five states.
 MT. Laney made brief reply ant will submit briefs at an early date.

Turkeys ''lF rozem' Monday Mornizng
 In Salt Valley

Three young turkeys, the pride of Richard Ayraud, truck gardener anc poultry fancier, died from exposure early yesterday morning. In some manner they escaped from their warm coop and before being discov- cred had succumbed to the cold of the night. Carefully guarded from the warm rays of the sun in the day time and given more attention than the average chila a- night, their wanderings in the deep grass of the Ayraud one acre ranch .. Twentieth and Jackson streets before daylight yesterday morning, so chilled the:r tender bodies that death resulted.
 Ayraud failed to see any joke in the loss of his turks. Tne incon- uruity of protecting them from the heat in the day time, only to have them perish from the cold at nign, did not appeal to him. That they should be virtually frozen to death in the latter days of June, at time when all of the country IS sweiter
 ing, seems to him unreasonable.
 The few young turkeys that re main at the Ayraud ranch will not escape from their coop. Repairs wers made yesterday that will insure against another like catastrophe. ,n- cidentaIly Ayraud got out an ex:ra blanket yesterday for his own bed.

Although no official information has been received by Colonel Fred $. Breen concerning the exact date of the first draft for the new army, 1t Is gen. erally understood by those closely con- nected with the operation of the Selec- tive service law that the first drawing is to be held on July 15. Arrangements for this drawing have been in progress of making since the completion of the registration The war department has hastened this work in order to hold the drawing at as early date as possible.
 The regulations concerning the eX- emptiOns to be granted by the various boards are expected to be promulgated some time this week No drastic rules are expected. On the contrary, they are to be most liberal in permitting those who are actively engaged in pro- fessiOnal occupations in any manner helpful to the government in prOsecut- ing this war, to remain at home. Like wise the rules are said to be strict against the exemption of men who are physically able to go to war and who have no dependents.
 Material changes have been made in the cantonment plans, according to word from Washington. Some of these have to do with the number of build- ings to be erected; others to the fin ishing of the interior and the furnish ing. The barracks are to be open on one side with a sort of sleeping porch effect. Single beds, instead of double deckers, also will be used. The air space allotted to each man is 175 cubic feet.
 That the national army will be in camp by September l is the belief of Secretary of War Baker. expressed in an interview recently. Interest in the camp preparations are overshadowed at pesent, however, by the exemption regulations shortly to be forthcoming.
 It is not true that every married man will be exempt" declared a prominent official recently in an inter view. That was the plan first pro- posed" he added but later we got clear away from that idea. The ques- tion of whether a man is married does not figure in the regulations The determining factor is whether he has persons really dependent upon him for support, either wife or children. an Olu mother or father. No non who con show an actual legal dependent will be taken, but married men whose labor at home is not needed to support their families will be taken
 The question of industrial exemption will be left to the appeal board, created in each federal judicial district As in

SECOND GALL

Final opportunity will be given civil ians for admission to the officers train ing camp at the second call which is for August 27 at Leon Springs, Tex. After that time only enlisted men will be ac- cepted, according to Adjutant General Harris
 Few civilians will be fortunate enough to be accepted Tor the Leo. Springs camp, it is declared. as the quota for Arizona is only 40, and the national guard allowance is to come Ou. of that number. Possibly not more than ten civilians will be called TOT this sev- ond training camp for officers.
 The most direct and the easiest way for ciVi ian to get chance for a com mission in the new army, General liar ris advises, Is for him to enlist in the First Arizona and secure the valuaDIu training which will aid him greatly Tn his examination later for a cOmmiss;o...

CANTONMENT AT DENYING |S 0NLY
 ONE NEAR HERE

Whatever lingering hope there might have been still remaining in the breasts of Arizonans for a con tonment site in this state were dashed yesterday in the receipt of the fol- lowing telegram at the state house war:
 Governor Thomas F. Campbell,
 Phoenix, Arizona.
 Dear Governor:
 Senators Ashurst and Smith and Representative Hayden have called on me presenting your telegram to Rep resentative Hayden of June 19. 1917, in respect to a cantonment site in Arizona. All the cantonment sites within the limits of the southern de- partment in which Arizona is To- cated have been designated. Deming. N. NJ, was recommended as the most suitable cantonment site in the terri tory comprising New Mexico and Ari- zona by board of officers convened by the department commander which recommendation was approved by me on the 11th of June. 1917.
 ''Very sincerely,
 NEWTON D. BAKER
 Secretary of War"
 'UnOffcial' information had reach ed Phoenix several day ago that this state had not been fortunate enough to be selected as cantonment site. An I1l Paso man here who had been in close touch with prominent army officers declared that there would be no large mobilization of militia or regular army forces in Fl Paso: that the climate would not permit tent life in any degree of comfort. The troops al Fort Bliss. the visitor de- clares. are being constantly decreased on this account.
 The failure of Phoenix to secure 9 cantonment is not due to anv lack of effort on the part of the Chamber of Commerce or other business organiZa . tions. The men worked long and hard and left rothing undOne that t micht have won for the city or state. Many rneetings wera held and these hard working men gave practically all of their time to this matter If hard work would have won a canton- ment. no other city in Arizona or New | Mexico could havo stood better | chance than Phoenix.

 FR0M COUNTY
Southwest Cotton Officer Wants to Know What the County Would Do in Case
 of Epidemic in It's Camp

For the purpose of learning wheth- CT or not the board of supervisors would cooperate with the Southwest Cotton company in case of real trou- ble from an epidemic, Edward F. Parker, vice-president of the com pany held brief conference with the board yesterday.
 There have been any number of cases recently in which the company has voluntarily stood the hospital and burial expense but MT. Parker. de- clared that the company would feel it was stretching the charity purse too far if called upon to bear the burden of an epidemic. As a general proposition he asked how the situa- tion should be handled
 There are now 1900 men employed by the corporation which in Septem- Der expects to double it's number of present employees and while MT. Parker said he recognized the fact that a company of that size should collect hospital fees that men could not be forced to pay them
 The company is not desiring to shirk in the natter explained MT. Parker as cited case after case in which the company had made good
 
 We pay taxes to the county. How far must we take the county's burden"
 It was pointed out to MT. Parker that a person had to be citizen be- fore they could receive help of the county. He was assured, however. of the co-opera tion of the county in case of an epidemic.
 MT. Parker agreed with the board i that the hospital fee plan was the best solution of the situation and tion of time before it could be worked out. In the meantime he only wished to feel he could rely on the county in case of an excess of trou ble. The officer of the company stated that the construction gang was paying it's dollar a month hos pital fee, but that the farmers had not yet seen the advantage of such q ! plan. which. would not only benefit i them but their wives and children.
 We are going slowly to convince ; the people we are on the square, l said MT Parker. as he talked over | plans for the future when model ! towns will be built at Chandler and 1 Agua Fria. He stated that by de- grees the company was endeavoring i to better conditions and that he | looked forward to seeing the towns with fully equipped hospitals, shops, motion picture theaters. pool halls, recreation clubs, etc. by winter. The further proof given by Mir | Parker that the industry is a big i thing for the valley was his state ments that the disbursements of the | company for one month amounted to $7000, which will be doubled after | September

Mary Pickford at Iarara

When Little Mary visited the for est in connection with the production of the Aircraft picture now at the Lamara theater today, a delegation waited upon her requesting that they have the privilege of naming a giant redwood for her. She was asked to select one of the enormous trees, but Miss Pickford refused to accept any of them. Instead, she chose a young redwood only a foot in circumference, which seemed mere dwarf among the giants, and requested that this little tree be named after her.
 "A Romance of the Redwoods" will be the attraction at the Lamara today Wednesday and Thursday, the Bur ton Holmes travelogue will also be shown

DIFFERS FROM
 POTATO STORY

John Schlalos, who has a very hand some potato patch in the Glendale dis trict, differs strongly from the reports brought to the council of defense about the waste of cull potatoes in that sec ton and particularly upon his ranch and neighboring ranches. He states that of the 3,024 sacks of potatoes dug upon his place but F sacks were culls and they were far from wasted as they have been gathered up and will be used as food.
 MT. Schlalos does not believe that the potato waste in his immediate re- zion will be as much as 1 per cent, for while there are culls, they are not being allowed to lie upon the ground and rot but are being dug up just the same as the good potatoes.

Cool Columbia

The Columbia theater today presents one of those good old Southern type plays entitled Kentucky Cinderella" :" In this play we find every element that makes up a good interesting feature. There is a lot of comedy throughout the play, the old darkies and their lit tie pickaninnies doing lots of funny tricks which causes much laughter and is just the type of play that every mother should bring her children to see.
 Ruth Clifford, as the little Kentuck- i"n who has spent most of her years in the mountains is indeed clever and when she makes her trip into the city after her father has been killed to be raised by her fathers brother and meets with all kinds of obstacles it touches ones heart to witness the treatment of so sweet a little girl, but in the end as all good stories go, she wins out and through all the suffering, gains much happiness. This program is highly recommended for the families and everyone should see it.
 The Hawaiian pictures are beautiful and if YOU want to see country that the chances are you will never see, spend the evening at the coolest theater in town and witness a program that will please all.
