Barkley in her clear voice sang several of the latest patriotic songs. J. O. Sexson introduced the speaker. Dr. Perrys lecture held the audience from the beginning and many times was the applause enthu- siastic. After his address the names of those wishing to become identified with the Red Triangle league stood up, there being large number.

Well, busy Phoenix folk, what do you think of the Busy Ad Mans efforts now? After a week of weary waiting I'm going to let you in on the labors of successful students of last Mondays edition, and I want you all to peruse these ads once more and see if thls time you can't cross the tape in noth- ing flat.
 Just remember that it's the fellow who uses his head for something else besides hat rack that brings home the soup tickets. so get out the old crayon and follow 'em up.
 Of course you know that we're run ming this page every Monday morning for ten weeks, and every time you score it means little piece of change to rattle in your jeans or cheerfully clink in an embroidered hand bag.
 If we can't all scrap the. Huns, we have to stay here and fight for a living, and it's some conflict at that-to pre- vent the successful retreat of the inn perial dollar, that after all come to think about it, might contain some German silver
 So it's up t. you birds who are calamity bowling about the H. C. of l.. to dig up the family abridged and steal second, cause the five and the two-case notes as well as the three silver simoleons we're going to slip to the lucky souls next week, will keep the varnish on the front door panel intact, as far as the wolf is concerned, for a little while longer.
 I was simply sWamped last week with whole mess of incorrect answers, and I'll excuse it this time because it's a brand new idea, but take a little time off, brothers and sisters, and dope it out. Using one sheet of paper and about thirty seconds time before pursuing the postman down the ave nue won't do it. Take it easy-read | it over-ask your friends-then let me | hear from yon.
 | If little girl eight years old, and a mighty clever one at that, can grat off second honors, some of the rest of you ought to be able to drop the hammer and ring the bell at least once | Well, anyway, I got 26 correct ones and we sure give 'em credit. I'm giv- | ing the list down below of the three winners and those that got Honorable mention. This is all decided. you know, by three judges, two men and one lady to kinda balance things up That'll square it, you'll all agree, Tn sure. for didn't Dr. Perry at the higf school yesterday say that women ot Arizona knew twice as much as the men-and got away with it?
 All right, if you've taken all this tt heart, no more suspense.

AN OLD CUSTOM TO
 AUCTION OFF WIFE
fBoston Transcript

It was long a popular belief among the ignorant in England that if a man sold his wife at public auction such a sale had all the legality of a regular divorce. The latest case of the kind on record occurred in 1892.
 John Thompson a farmer, had been married for three years, and he and his wife agreed to separate. Thompson brought his wife into the town of Car lisle. and by the bellman announced that he was about to sell her. At midday Thompson placed his wife on large oak chair with a rope of halter of straw about her neck. He then made this announcement: Gen tlemen. l have to offer to your notice my wife. Mary Anne Thompson, other wise Williams, whom mean to sell to the highest and fairest bidder. It is her wish as we'll as mine to part for ever
 ''She has been to me only born ser pent. I took her for my comfort, the good of my home. But she became my tormentor, a domestic curse, night invasion and daily devil.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
 IN HEALTHY SHAPE

MESA, March 1.-The Mesa Com mercial club will hold a meeting Tues day night. Miss Vera Johnson, the secretary, is mailing out notices to each member, and complete report of the matters that have passed through the office of the club for the past two months will be given at the meeting. The showing will include a number of new members who have signed up with the beginning of the new year. An indebtedness of $21O left over from the past year has been partially taken care of and $100 is now in the hands of Treasurer Wal ters and will be applied on the debt.
 Arrangements will be made to handle the balance of the obligation without calling for any additional assessment from the membership. The secretary reports a considerable number of in quiries regarding all manner of ranch ing and other interests in the Mesa country. The club is in a healthy con- dition, with it's expense cut to a mini- mum. and a small surplus of funds coming in each month. No aggressive work is being done or is contemplated during the great war struggle, but the organization is being held intact, and ready for taking hold of any oppor- unity presenting itself. Evidence oi this is the fact that recently a letter came advising President Bracket oi the possible coming of an enterprise that would have meant great deal fol Mesa and the valley. At once MT Bracket got in touch by wire witf certain sources of information and in 1luence, but found that for the pres ent at least the move would not be made. Mention is made of this simply to show the readiness and activity o1 the various commercial organizations of the valley, in grasping at any op- portunity for the progressive develop ment of this section.
 The meeting of Tuesday night vii be held at the Guild hall. which is of. fered to the club until some more per. manent arrangements is made.

ARDMORE WOMEN
MUST RALLY TO RED
CROSS WORK ROOMS

Despite appeals sent from head
quarters OF the american Red Cross
Society for workers to continue
their efforts to supply America /,
wounded overseas, Ardmorc women
are turning a deaf ear to the appeal
and the work rooms at Convention
Hall have practically been empty
since they were rcopened Monday
when the ban on public meeting was
lifted. Today there was one worker
in the guaze room and two in ths
sewing room.
The American EXpeditionary
Forces took part in the last battles
for victory and although cessation
OF hostiities were effected. Nov.
II casualties are coming in every
day from the last month OF lighting
which is conceded to have been
marked with the greatest battles of
the war. These casualties will con-
tinuc to come in for several months,
according to statement issued yes
terday by the war department. These
boys fought to the end of the war,
many of them are lying wounded N
the hospitals throughout France and
their needs are Just as great at this
time, as at any time during the per-
iod of fighting
In view of these facts it hardly
seems possible that Americas wom-
anhoom will refuse to respond to
their appeals. Ardmore and Carter
County have hundreds of boys over
seas; many of them are wounded,
many are sick from disease, many
just recovering and still confined
to the hospital, and it is for them
that the appeal is made. The need
for workers was never greater and
every woman, regardless OF whether
she has worked or not should re-
spond Immediately.
Quotas from headquarters for sur
gical dressings and other depart
ments continue TO be received by the
supervisors and until orders are re-
ceived from headquarters to discou-
tinuc the work the duty of Ard
more women is clear.
