GIRL ACCEPTS HIM
 BUT U. $. DID NOT

Turned down by the army, young James Neil Harris met better treat ment from the girl he loved according to telegraphic announcement received here yesterday of the marriage of the automobile salesman to Miss Mildred Mayfield of Frankfort, Ky.
 The wedding was an event of Sat urday, taking place in Fulton. Ky. After a brief honeymoon the young people will return to Phoenix the lat ter part of this week. They will make their home here.
 Harris, who is the son of Mrs. Mammie D. Harris, winter resident of this city, from Kentucky. left re- gently for Dallas to enlist in the avia- ton corps. He was repected for serV- ice because of a defective arm. In- stead of returning to Arizona he con- tinued on to Kentucky where he was married to one of the lovliest and most attractive of charming southern girls. The bride is the daughter of Mrs. C. Mayfield and like her hus- band belongs to a well known south ern family. She has the delightful personality for which southern girls are noted and will be eagerly welcomed into the social set in which Harris is a decided favorite.

 THROUGH EFFORT AT
 CHANDLER GATHERING

CHANDLER, June 30.-One of the
 greatest meetings ever held in
 Chandler was that of Friday night.
 when the thrift stamp drive had its inning. The entire affair had been
 planned with care and attention to detail, and there was not a single disappointing feature to mar the oc- casion.
 First there was the parade. The
 rifle club, showing the splendid ef- fects of their training in line of march, led the way along route where the sidewalks were lined with
 persons from the surrounding ranches and communities. Then came the
 women of the Red Cross, the Junior
 Red Cross and other patriotic or
 ganizations. Arrived at the San
 Marcos arcade,s the crowd resolved itself into an attentive lot of listen CTS who enjoyed the musical portion of the program, and addresses by c.
 R. flakes of Chandler and Earl F. Drake of Phoenix, selected with a view to waking them up'' and if | Chandler needed any awakening, the
 parade. the music, the two splendid addresses and the boundless enthu- siasm of the workers, amply filled | the order. Proof of this is seen l in that last nights effort brought in $500 in cash for thrift stamps and | s1 200 pledged. W. H. Robinson pre- sided at the meeting.
 Chairman P. M. James, of the thrift
 stamp committee. reports $25,00O ir
 cash and pledges to date.

|. M. LANEY |S OUT
 TO SUCCEED HIMSELF

County Attorney L. M. Laney an- nounces that he will be candidate for a second term in office, at the demo- cratic primary election to be held this fall.
 Mr. Laneys friends claim that owing to his record in office he is amply en- titled to re- election. He has tried many more murder and other serious and ard-fought cases than any other county attorney in the history of Mar icopa county, and his percentage of convictions obtained in all proper cases has been high Also a tremendous number of bootlegging and gambling cases have been handled with uniform success.
 In one cleanup campaign this spring out of over 50 bootlegging, gambling, and disorderly house cases, every defendant was either convicted or else plead guilty, without a single acquittal. The fines collected in these cases greatly exceeded the cost to the county in procuring the evidence.
 Besides his exceptionally heavy work as public prosecutor, MT Laney has found time to carry on in conjunction with the county treasurer'S office, the first active campaign in years for the collection of delinquent taxes. He has brought suit against more than 300 de- fendants, individuals and corporations, to recover taxes on over 1000 tracts of land, many of which have been delin- quent ever since the year 1908. In this way, many thousands of dollars have been collected without any expense to the county other than the county at torney's official salary.
 Also MT. Laney has done a great deal of war work as government ap- peal agent in connection with the draft Both the district and the local boards attest to the fair yet fearless character Of his work in this regard.
 MT. Laney's friends claim that he has | always followed the law in his official
 work with absolute fearlessness. re- | gardless of who was concerned. They cite the case in which, when the salary
 bill under which he and all other off
 cers ran for office was held unconsti- | tutional by the courts MT. Laney as county attorney rendered an opinion
 to the supervisors whereby his own
 salary was reduced $50 per month | along with the reduction of th4 sal
 aries of two other county officers
 Many other counties are not acquies-
 cling in this reduction.
 MT. Laney was raised on a farm ir
 Maricopa county, is a graduate of the
 Tempe Normal school. of the Univer-
 sity of California and of the law de-
 partment of Leland Stanford univer-
 sity. He is married man and the father of one handsome child-but tn,
 child looks like it's mother.

These rains were sorely needed" added Judge Crosby, "as the cattle were suffering and in some cases were dying for lack of water and feed. But the rains have started the grass to growing nicely and have brought great relief to the cattle owners. and the people generally. A long drouth has been broken"

NO CONCEALINC
 BOOSTERS NOW
LOCAL COMMISSION MEN MOTT. FEED THAT FARMERS MUST KEEP THEIR HENS AND PULL
 LETS ON THE FARM,

Chicken and dumplings, or chicken fried or broiled means rooster from now on There is going to be noth- ing of the opposite sex going into the pot henceforth. Such is the edict of the Food Commission, handed down to Goodwin & Jean and other poultry dealers in a telegram Monday.
 The government will permit the produce and commission men two weeks to dispose of all the hens and bullets now in their possession and the stores and small dealers have un- til Saturday. The farmer is thus i'm mediately deprived of a market for his hens and bullets, for there is a heavy penalty attached to the pur- chase of female fowls after Tuesday, February 12.
 "The scarcity of eggs and the ap- parent scarcity of poultry in the fu- ture has prompted the government to act before it is too late," stated Ed Myers, manager of the Goodwin k Jean Co, after receiving the order "The meatless days so increased the demand for poultry that the prices advanced and the farmers have been trying to unload everything in order to get advantage of the high prices. They were not looking to the future at all, but the government is.
 We must have eggs and chickens to make up for the loss of meat, but we cannot have them long if the far mers insist on selling off all their hens. This will curtail our business materially, but it will continue it long CT and give US something to deal in when the war is over. would not be surprised if the order did not come at the suggestion of the commission men themselves. for they have seen the depletion of stock on the farm, and realize what that would mean. We will not require two weeks to dispose of our stock on hand, for we can sell it in very few days. This will make eggs more plentiful, and consequently they ought soon to be cheaper"

FLOUR SUBSTITUTES
 MUST BE BOUGHT
ARKANSAS WHOLESALE GRO- GERS ASSOCIATION ENDORSE THE UNITED STATES FOOD
 ADMINISTRATION.

The Arkansas Wholesale Grocers' Association adopted a resolution at a called meeting at the Hotel Marion Monday to sell wheat flour only with an equal amount of substitute here after.
 What the substitute shall be was the bone of contention Several gro cers contended that there is very lit lle meal in the country. The case ot ,, r. Weinman Milling Company of Little Rock was cited. The plant has capacity of TOO barrels of -four q aay, with orders calling for 1,500 bar rels.
 farmers who can prove to the sat lslactlon of the grocer that they have, ana are using, meal as a four substi- ute, may purchase an equal amount or -four, the grocers decided. This question has been one for farmer and grocer alike, since there was no clear interpretation of the law
 Other resolutions adopted endorsed the work of the national and state rood Administrations, and pledged CO., operation in conserving food, and dis elIDutlng it.

 ALL THEY CAN HANDLE.

Our plant is running night and day and we are getting out lots of goods," states E. E. Newhouse, mana ger of the Arkansas Fertilizer Com pany. We are having difficulty in getting raw material, but we had pur- chased large amount months ago, when deliveries could be made, and this has made it possible for us to manufacture practically normal sup ply. Int demand is greater than ever, and we will supply what we have taken orders for. and probably be able to in addition care for some of the late corners.
 "This should be a great fertilizer year, for in order to farm intensive ly the planters must have the stun that will make two blades grow in~ stead of one."

IF SNOW IS WORTH A MIL LION DOLLARS TO THE STATE, HOW ABOUT THAT CATTLE SHOW IN LITTLE ROCK LAST WEEK?

This is a question that can only be answered by a su1mise as to the amount of good that the cattle show did to Arkansas, but even the most conservative will admit it will be worth many millions, and each year will see the fruits become more and more extensive. Thousands of dol lars Sorth of pedigreed cattle were brought into the State and sold to farmers who had before failed to yield to the march of progress in the stock raising game. Many thousand dollars worth of cattle that were raised in Arkansas were also offered for sale, and they met ready buyers. Little Rock for the time being was the live stock clearing house for Arkansas. This sale of stock means that the grade of cattle in all sections into which it is taken will be improved. The farmer will see how much easier it is to fatten and keep the bet ter grade, and he is going to buy some of it for himself, and even fuallv Arkansas, which has the natural advantages, will be known as a cattle State, and cat tle States are rich States. The cattle sold in Little Rock brought good prices. Owners who had Id made use of breeding stock until it was useless in their herds were enabled to sell to others stock that would build up their herds, and both profted. The prices were several times better than those of 1917 auctions, showing that the farmers appreciate bet tor stock and will pay for what they want. Stock builds States; let's have lots of high-grade stock.

AMERICA MUST FURNISH THE MONEY TO CARRY ON THE WAR AND ARKANSAS MUST SUPPLY ARKANSAS PORTION.

There are two classes, and only two, in this war the Allies are waging for the preservation of the republican form of gov ernment-the man who is on the firing line, or who is prepar- ing to go, and the citizen who must back him up with his dol lars. We cannot stand back and decline to respond when our dol lars will mean nothing to us if the Allied nations are defeated. Little Rock is the natural center for activities of this kind in Ar kansas. It is the headquarters for the conduct of governmental campaigns, and in every instance Little Rock has gone over the top, refusing to ask others to contribute without setting the example. Little Rock has been assessed one-third in all these campaigns, and in every instance it has responded with this and more. It has not yet failed, and l it must be said to the glory of the State, the other sections have done as we'll or better. But remember, these are not Little Rock propositions, and Little Rock profits by them only in the satisfaction of being part of a State that has done so nobly. Little Rock is entitled to no par ticular credit for this, nor is any part of the State. It is simply a duty, recognized and perform ed. We have more of these to come, and Little Rock will con- tinue to hold up her end, and other sections of Arkansas will do the same. This money does not even come to Little Rock, be- ing sent direct to national head quarters, so that all sections se- cure full credit for what they glve. Meet the issues squarely, let none shirk hIs duty, and there is no doubt as to the out come of this war.

Election as president of the Doyle Kidd Dry Goods Company at the age of 2S years, is the honor conferred on Thomas N. Doyle. This took place at the annual meeting of the stockhold- CTS held during the past week. To become president of a company of this magnitude, for the Doyle-Kidd Dry Goods Company is one of the largest institutions in the state, is always distinguished honor, but to be elected at this age, and to be elect ed on merit alone, adds materially to is a concern in the United States that does the business shown by the Doyle-Kidd Company that has presi- dent no further advanced in years than Thomas N Doyle.
 Thomas N. Doyle is native of Arkansas, being born in Morrilton, a town which has started number of prominent men on their way to com mercial prominence. At the age of four years he was brought to Little Rock by his parents, MT. and Mrs. Thomas N Doyle, ST. Thomas attend ed the Little Rock schools and grad uated from the local high school one of the banner pupils and a recogniz- ed leader in athletics. After leaving the Little Rock High School in 1903, young Doyle went to Ithica, N. Y., where he remained until his gradua- tion from Cornell University in 1912 This was followed by course in the Eastman Business College at Pough- keepsie, N. Y., after which the future commercial genius returned to Lit tie Rock and entered the Doyle-Kidd Dry Goods Company as clerk. He mastered the various departments of the store and soon rose to the posi- tion of vice president year or so ago. He was then given desk i'll the office and some of the most i'm portant business of the concern was entrusted to him. So satisfactorily
