STRANGE FlSH-For some time past anglers have been reporting the occasional catch of a curious and un- known fish in the upper Gila river. Tom Dinnant and George Purdy, who have just returned from Guthrie, caught several. MT. Purdy says he thinks the fish is the English grayling, some fry of which were released in the Gila by a Mr York, who lives near Guthrie, some years ago.
 CIVIL SERVICE ExAMlNATION- The United States civil service com mission announces that an unskilled non educational examination will be held on August 15, 1917, for the purpose of filling a, vacancy in the position of unskilled laborer in the custodian ser vice at Phoenix. Arizona Application blanks and further information may be obtained from the local secretary, board of civil service examination, at the Phoenix, Arizona, postoffice.
 WORLD WAR .PlCTURES-Man ager Cooper, of the Columbia theater, has just received word from MT Mauk, who is now in Los Angeles, that they have secured the rights for the worlds war pictures to be shown at the Co., lumbia on the same day they are shown in New York and all the large cities. These pictures are along the same lines as "Pershing i'll France" and Russian Revolution" just as shown at the Col umbia theater. The point of interest is that PhoniX is now on the map for the latest international news.
 ONLY A MINK-Tom Parrish. who lives near the Standard Oil plant, in the western part of the city, keeps chickens, when 'varmints,' two-legged and otherwise, do not poster them, as Tom puts it. Saturday night he heard cries of distress from his fowls and sallied forth prepared to grapple with a railroad nigger" or a coyote at least. The coop was all a-flutter when Tom arrived, and two of his Minorcas, which he hoped would be prize winners at the fair this autumn, were perform ing a death dance. Peering close, Tom beheld two irridescent eyes of emerald green belonging to a small but ex- tremely active little animal. Tom gave chase and finally managed to entangle the creature in a bundle of loose poul- try wire and capture it. It was a mink, an animal common in eastern states, but almost unknown in the west

UNITED STATES HAS
 STAMP COLLECTION

In the northwest court of the older building of the Natonal Museum is a United States government stamp col lection about which the general pub lie knows very little. Up to 1908 the collection included only about 2500 stamps. but in that year the gift of a New York collector increased it by 10000 specimens.
 In 1912, says the report of the United States National Museum for 1914, the museum obtained by transfer the more essential parts of the large exhibition of the postoffice department, which comprised the stamps. stamped en- velopes and postal cards of all the na- tions of the world, to the number of nearly 100000 The original collec- tion consisted chiefly of a large cabinet with sliding frames, in which the main series of stamps had been installed including those printed for the United States by private firms and by the bureau of engraving and printing, and the foreign stamps received through the international bureau of the Uni versal Postal Union at Berne. Switz- erland. The remainder of the collec- tion included sheets of stamps, en- velopes and postal cards mounted on swinging screens for various American eApOSltlOpS, many separate sheets Of stamps and individual specimens; and several albums of stamps of die proofs of United States stamps
 The installation of the collection, in- stead of according with the usual stereOtyped alphabetical arrangement throughout, agrees virtually with that of the coins and metals. It begins with United States, and the foreign nations following alphabetical order with the stamps of their colonies grouped to- gether geographically. Ultimately an alphabetical and numbered list of all the countries and colonies represented will make it possible to find any set of collectors and common varieties of certain periods, particularly of foreign issues.
 In general the mounting is of single stamps of each issue, but when neces- sary to serve a particular purpose they are mounted in pairs, strips, blocks or sheets. A selected series of the stamped envelopes of the United States follows the stamps of that country. In addition to the exhibition series there will eventually De a reserve series for the use of students of philately.

 HOW ID MAKE THEM

Cover with a layer of salt, then a layer of cucumbers and so forth. having the last layer salt The moisture from the cucumbers will make the brine and no water need be added. The brine however. must al- ways completely cover them. Place a weight on the cucumbers, and cover. When you wish to use them, remove the desired quantity from the brine and freshen by placing them in fresh water for few hours. Then soak them in vinegar if a sour pickle is desired, in a vinegar sirup for sweet spiced pickle.
 Fresh cucumbers may be added to this brine as often as desired.

We must fight with him and for him. When we undertake thing, be sure we are undertaking it for God; be sure that God is on our side-be sure we are doing it for God and not for our selves. If we build this building on North Central avenue to give glory to the preacher, to give glory to the church, and to give glory to ourselves, then we will fail; but if We build it to honor God, to bring men and wom- en into the Kingdom of Jesus Christ that we may forget ourselves, then, friends, we cannot fail.
