Battle With Monster Fish
Lasts Forty-Nine Hours
WONDERFUL MARINE EXHIBIT
ON CAPT. THOMPSON'S YACHT
Collection Contains Many Rare Specimens Considered One
of the Finest and Most Complete America.

Second only in interest to the Deep
Sea Mystery itself, which has been at
tracing thousand of vicitors to Cap
tain Thompson's yacht is the captains
marvellous marine exhibit, which is con-
sidered by many who have seen it to
be one of the finest and most complete
private collections in America.
Among the rare specimens are an
octupus, one Of the most repusive
creatures Imaginable devil-fish
hammerhead shark; angel fish; giant
sail fish, with a sail two and one-half
feet long and one and halr feet
wide; a giant baracOuta over seven
feet long and that weighed f40.pounds
and with mouth and teeth large
enough to bite mans arm off, to say
nothing of hundreds of other marvels
of the great deep, all of which are
shown in their natural forms and
colorS.
One OF the most interesting and sin
gular specimens of the entire collection
is the baby hammerhead shark, with
the singular elongated head from which
it derives its name. The eyes are sit
uated on the extreme outer edge of the
hammer" so that it can cover an I'M
usually wide range of vision. The
hammerheads grow to a length of fiji
teen feet and bring forth their young
alive.

The angel fish is a curious creature
whose place in nature is midway be-

to wings which is their only angelic
feature.

SmasheS Rudder and Propeller Lik
So Much Paper

With one supreme effort that one
could not but admire, the creature
summoned all its remaining strength
and with a superb sweep of its tail
it smashed the rudder and propeller OF
the yacht as if they were paper, and
cut off the overhanging stern like a
huge knife.

was ours, but in dying the creature

JUDEA FREE AGAIN
 ON ANNIVERSARY
(New York Tribune)

The British forces drove the Turks out of Jerusalem on the first day of the Jewish feast of Channuka, the an niversary of the entry of Judas Mac cabaeus into the city after the rout of the Hellenistic hordes. The coincidence is a happy one for the future of Pales- tine. As the Maccabaean victory marked definitely the defeat of be- base Hellenism which threatened hu- man liberty and morality, the present British victory marks definitely the defeat of the debaSed German will to domination which threatened the inde- pendence and well being of all small nationalities. Whatever the eventual political settlement of the country, the English entry means the opening of a new era for the Jewish people. It means also the liberation of Palestine from the misgovernment and subver- sive anarchy which for eighty years have wasted its resources. =
 The rapid advance of the British forces from Gaza has released the whole of Judea in little more than a month. Within twenty days of the talk ing of the stronghold of the Philistines the army swept over the, Plain of PhlllStla, the smiling park or the Plaln of Sharon, and reached the River Audia, ten miles north of Jaffa. Within another twenty days it broke the Turk ish defense line in the hills from Hebron to the ancient Bethel, and left no organized band of the enemy 1 throughout what was the ancient king l dom of Judah.
 The area restored comprises the | Jewish colonies of southern Palestine, l Castiniech, Ekron, Katrah. Rehoboth, Richon- -le- Zion, Petak Tikvah. lying in the plain, and Hulda, Mosah and Artut l in the hills. It comprises also besides Jerusalem, with its 50,000 souls. Jaffa, which is the economic. and cultural center of the infant Jewish rescttle-
 ment, and Hebron, which is a holy city and has Jewish population of several l thousand. It comprises also the large
 villages of Ramieh and Lydda and .Mejdel and Bethlehem, which have 3
 considerable Christian as well as Arat
 population. And the occupation means that the necleus of the Jewish reset l lement is saved, even if disaster should overtake the settlements of the north

BABY DIES ENROUTE
 FROM TEXAS HOME; .
 UNCLE Is SOUGHT

MESA. June 5.TWith tue dead body of their baby upen their laps, a man hy the name of Cocks. and his wife. accompanied by two other children, were driven into Mesa at about o'clock last evening from Roosevelt by Bert Winger of Mesa. S- - !
 The story told by tho unfortunate people is pathetic one. The family were making their way from Texas to this valley by wagon and when about half way between Globe and Roosevelt the baby became in. A passing auto was halted and the father and child were taken to Roosevelt to obtain medical assistance. Soon after their arrival there, the child died and the mother and remalning children were sent for by machine. When the fam fly were together once more, the jour ney was continued to Mesa in another auto in which transportation was kind ly offered them. Luck seemed to be against them, for the machine broke down near Fish Creek station and it was hero that Mir. Winger overlook them and brought them into Mesa.
 The grief. stricken. family appear dcStitute but it was only with consid- erable coaxing that they were pre- vailed upon to take food last evening. Undertaken Gibbons has taken charge of the body of the baby. The remain- ing members were given lodging. by some of the families of Mesa last owning.
 A decided mystery surrounds their coming to the valley for according to their story they were journeying here 10 join their uncle who was supposed to be cotton grower near Mesa. The name given is T. $. Strown. It seems that he repeatedly urged them to join him and his letters painted .roseate stories of a 120-acre ranch planted to cotton, an Overland auto team of mules, etc. He gave his postoffice address as Mesa, Arizona. A search was made for such a man last evening but none by that name could be found Inspection of the, bread cards showed he had bought no bread in Mesa. For mer Manager Attaway of the cotton gin reported no grower by that name nor could the name be found on the list of growers kept by Charles PratheI of the cotton association at Tempe.

Preparinu Potatoes

Potato growers are now beginning to dig their crop and will be soon shipping from the valley. The following rules for preparing potatoes for shipment by an experienced grower and shipper will undoubtedly be of interest at this time.
 Do not dig while soil is wet or damp from rain or irrigation.
 Do not dig until potato is matured and skin will not slip.
 For shipment do not put in any cut, or smaller than hens egg.
 Do not put two varieties in one bag. Fill bag solidly by shaking gently while filling. In sewing bags use d string and draw month close together, If not, string will cut potatoes in mouth of bag. Do not put any vines in bag, they gather moisture. While filled bags are standing in field, cover tops with vines.
 Keep potatoes as cool as possible at all times. Early morning loading is best while potatoes are cool.
 Do not handle filled bags unneces- sarily rough, bruises will show later.
 Do not put two shippers potatoes in one car.
 In loading use double deck, one bag should rest upon another.
 Load promptly. Ventilate as much as possible. Start car rolling as soon as loaded.
