CHANDLER ID STAGE
 LUR|D SHAM BATTLE

CHANDLER, July 2.-In addition to an interesting program which will be presented in the San Marcos arcade on the evening of July 4, the Rifle club will stage a sham battle in the park opposite the bank at o'clock. It is hoped that the members of the Mesa Rifle club will attend also and help to make this conflict second only to the battle of the Marne in savagery and frightfulness. As there are certain to be numerous casualties, a modern portable first aid station will be in at tendance to care for the injured.
 pr. Martin Friemund, an eminent Swiss surgeon just arrived from the European front to recuperate from gas attacks received in the war, will have charge of the first aid station and with his orderles will demonstrate the wonderful methods of caring for the wounded, now used on the battlefields of France
 Dr. Friemund has consented on this occasion to exemplify the use of a wonderful elixir which he has named A K" the ingredients of which are se- cret and will not be disclosed until after the, war except to surgeons of unquestioned patriotism who make personal application for the formula. It is expected that a large crowd will observe the battle and a thrilling spec tacle is assured.

LEMON JUICE IS
 SKIN WHITENER
CHEAP HOMEMADE BEAUTY Lo. TON TO REMOVE TAN, FRECk.
 LES, SALLOWNESS

At the cost of small jar of ordinary cold cream one can prepare a full quar- ter pint of the most wonderful lemon skin whitener and complexion beauti- fer, by squeezing the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle containing three ounces of orchard white. Care should be taken to strain the juice through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh for months. Every woman knows that lemon juice is used to bleach a dark ened skin and remove such blemishes as freckles, sallowness and tan and is the ideal skin softener and beautifier.
 Just try it! Get three ounces of orchard white at any drug store and two lemons from the grocer and make up a quarter pint of this sweetly frag- rant lemon lotion and massage it daily into the face, neck, arms and hands. It is marvellous to whiten rough, red hands.-Adv.

THE OUNCE.
g MAQY GRAHAM BONNER

| "The ounce," commenced Daddy, but both the children interrupted him. "Oh, Daddy" they said, 'Oh, Dad | dy!'
 "Well, what is the matter2' asked Daddy.
 Are you going to give us a story about arithmetic?" asked Nancy. You never have before, and we have a good deal of arithmetic in school.''
 ''We shouldn't complain" Nick whis- pered to her, flor Daddy tells us so many fine stories that we could certain ly put up with one about arithmetic for once.''
 ''Tll try to be nicer," whispered Nancy, Although I do hate arithme- tic"
 "Cheer up," said Nick. Daddy has never told us an arithmetic story be- fore and we will probably not hear one again."
 Daddy smiled when he saw the chil- dren were whispering. ''Secrets? he asked.
 T knew," said Nancy, cheerfully. what an ounce means. It's meas ure of weight. Sixteen drams mean the same as one ounce. l haven't got ten that far in the book, but l heard some of the children reciting those tables. They were big children, too, and one of them forgot that sixteen drams made an ounce. She had to re- peat it so many times that l knew it..
 Dear mel" laughed Daddy, "and so you know what an ounce means. That's a good joke"
 Its a good one, all right said Nick, ''when Nancy, who hates arith- metic, knows something I don't know I like arithmetic. I think it's easy"
 Well" said Daddy, Nancy is right in what she says. But this isn't to be an arithmetic story. Goodness, you go to school to study that and this is the time for a story. I've never heard of an arithmetic story befOre."
 Both the children smiled. 'It's not to be an arithmetic story?" asked Nancy.
 "Oh, no, indeed" said Daddy.
 What is it going to be about?" asked Nick.
 ''An animal,' said Daddy.
 'Was his name Ounce?' asked Nancy. And was he named that be- cause he only weighed little, little bit?"
 'I do believe Nancy wants an arith- metic story" Daddy said, with twin kle in his eye. ''She seems to be think ing of weights and measures and tables"
 'I don't have to-" said Nancy, laugh ing. Its easier for me not to-
 Good" said Daddy, ''for the time being we'll pretend we never heard of arithmetic. It's a fine thing and we all have to learn it-but not in the story hour; oh, no!
 "The family name of this animal I'm going to tell you about Is Ounce. They are known as the Ounce family. Some times they are called the Snow Leopards.
 ''Now, Oswald Ounce was a fine looking animal and he knew it. I'm

relation of the leopards and partners, he said, and I'm also cousin of the cats. And I lead happy life.
 What is finer than to be up here in the high, high mountains where it is cold? I grow to be Sso beautiful here. My fur becomes very long and heavy. It's really quite lovely.
 My colors are interesting, too. I am pale gray, with dark spots, and my tail is quite eXquiSite.'
 "So the Ounce family lived happily up in the mountains in Asia, and Os- wald was the leader of all.
 "They were given such funny name because it at one time sounded like a word which meant leopard. When you children grow to be bigger you will learn how different words come from roots and parts of other words. But we weren't going to have an arithme- tic story, and neither will we have a lesson on words. But the roots of words are the foundations of words, just as the roots of the trees are the foundations or starting points of the trees.
 And the Ounce family liked their name because it was so differen from all other names, and they would tell folks how it used to be called 'Once,' but that since they had become so beautiful and important and had real ized it, they had put 'u' in the word which made them more distinguished and stylish, which is now the family name."

his ArmIess Joke

That all misfortune is only relative Is indicated by the philosophy of the armless man who, for many years, has been carrying "copy" from a down. town news agency to the uptown news papers at night. An editor on his way to his midnight luncheon had washed his hands when he discovered that the towel was missing. As the armless "copy' carrier passed he heard the ed itor say something more forceful than elegant. You ought to be like me, and then you wouldn't need any towel" said the armless one, laughing contentedly.-New York Times
