poor deliveries are widespread. Never theless the railroad situation shows some betterment, inland water traffic is freer, industrial outputs have been enlarged, trade in the larger essential lines shows expansion and as soil con- ditions are favorable while wages are high with employment better than ever, optimism is in evidence. Country mer- chants fearing scarcity of goods or still higher prices are buying for fall ac- count, and dealers in the small towns are experiencing revival in trade, thanks to the industrial activity, con- gested deliveries and perhaps because of the tax on passenger fares. Inci- dentally there is a good demand for immediate delivery ever though retail trade has not yet fully opend up.
 But the government as for some time past is the largest single factor in the general buying movement, and over ev- erything might be written the heading that this super-activity is due to war preparations which extend out to a myriad of lines. Numerous small con- cerns now or heretofore engaged on non- essentials have been diverted to war work.
 Aside from buying for the militant efforts of the country, there is an ex- cellent demand for millinery as well as for textiles, prices for which continue to rise and at the same time broader preparations for farm work stimulate business in seeds and agricultural inn plements. On the other hand. insuffi- cient supplies of wheat restrict flour milling while trade in shoes in the east is inactive and the market for leather presents weak undertone.

FINANCES AND MARKETS
[RepubIIcan A. p.Ieased wirel

NEW YORK, March 15.-EXcept for few highly speculative issues, the stock list was under general restraint today, largely as a resN,- of pressure exerted against railroad shares Can adian Pacific was the chief feature in this respect, recording an extreme loss of As points in consequence of an order issued by the Dominion govern ment which provides for special war taxes against the company's earnings.
 Reading and affiliated coalers also relinduished part of their recent ad- vantage and other investments indi- cated the cautious attitude or indif- ference of traders.
 Bethlehem, Crucible and Lackawan- na Steels were among the early active and strong stocks, together with Amer lcan Can, shippings, oils and feathers. United States Steel, in which dealings again dwindled perceptibly, failed to make more than fractional headway, closing at a trivial net gain.
 The activity of pools was most evil dent in Baldwin Locomotive, Industrial Alcohol, Mating preferred and Su- matra Tobacco, where gains of to 4 points were partly forfeited on realiz- ing for profits. Coppers, New York Airbrake and minor miscellaneous is- sues yielded 1 to points. Sales amounted to 335,000 shares.
 Trading in bonds was negligible, Lib erty issues comprising the bulk of the offerings, the second As falling under 96 for the first time in several weeks. Total sales, par value, aggregated $3,- 075,ooo.

The Play. "The Man From Homsy

One of the cleverest amateur plays of the year was staged by members of the normal faculty before a packed house at the Goodwin Opera house, Thursday night. The play was Booth Tarkington's, "The Man From Home" ," and the characters were exceptionally well represented.
 To Miss Ethel Hartman. who directed the play, as well as to the personal of the cast, is due the success of the pro- duction. Miss Hartmann has directed a number of productions since coming to Tempe but this one proved the most popular.
 The jewelry for the performers was loaned through the courtesy of the La mont Jewelry store of this place. Be- tween acts there were solos by Miss Delzell and Miss Marchant who are always welcomed by a Tempe audience. Clinton Talbot Yates of Phoenix played several violin selections in his splendid way. He was accompanied by Miss McFall.
 All in all the whole performance was a huge success,

Red Cross Work


 Needle and thimble, Thimble and needle.'
 If you can wear one and wield the other, you are especially invited to the Red Cross afternoons which occur Wednesday and Friday of each week. Of late the attendance has been very meager, and the work finished is, con- sequently so small in amount that it is scarcely a credit to the patriotism of the village.
 The pleasant days of spring make it difficult for us to visualize the havoc wrought by German shell and shrapnel. but the lengthening lists of casualties in the daily papers contain ample evil dence that our own boys are now fill : ing the trenches at the front, and the need of Red Cross supplies for hospital and field is such that no patriotic woman can ignore.

THEFOUR OFHEARTS
BY VIRGINIA VAN DE WATER

"All this coming-out fuss-this
putting a girl up before the world
and saying, Look at her, all of
you! She is now eligible for matri-
mony!"
Milton" the exclamation was
swift and indignant. THAT is
horrid, coarse thing to say. l am
going back into the other room
where l need not listen to such
speeches"
"No-wait," the man urged. 'I
am sorry, Dora, really l am, for
saying anything that hurt you. But
l just happened to think that YOU
and | have been good chums for
years and years, and now l am going
out West for a couple of months.
and you Will have some other man
whom you don't really know come
along and grab you up and marry
you"
Dora flushed. and if another
man does come. what sthen?" she
demanded. Il am in no hurry to
marry, but l probably will do so
some day. And you will meet some
girl out in California, and marry her
out of handsome girl who doesn't
know you, either, as well as l do"
She laughed, but there was a
little tremor in the sound. Milton
caught her hand suddenly in his.
II say, Dora" he pleaded. why
not let's prevent these disagreeable
things happening? Let us acknowl-
edge that there is nobody for either
of us except the other. 1 know
there isn't anyone for me but you,
dear. l have seen many girls, but
you've always occupied first place in
my affections. I'm awfully fond of
you. Don't you care for me a lit
tie, Dora darling"
He dropped his voice to a whisper
on the last word and the girl col
ored more deeply.
Il don't KNOW" she said, slowly,
her long lashes hiding her eyes.
I've known you always, so it's nat
ural that 1 should like you better
than any other chap. | care a lot
for you, Milton. You are my very
own most particular man friend,
you see."
Let me be more than that,
please, Honey!" he begged.
AN right" she murmured. 'I
will, Milton dear"
They did not linger long in the
conservatory after the exchange of
betrothal vows. Why should they?
The matter was settled. The dance
music was alluring, and Dora's card
was full of names. So was Milton's.
At the door leading into the hall
the girl paused abruptly.
Milton" she urged, please don't
let's tell anyone of our engagement
just yet. Wait until you come back
from the West, won't you?"
The man hesitated for an instant
before replying.
"Why, yes" he agreed, 'if you
wish it, Nobody, that is. except
Dad. And" with a little laugh, II
guess it won't be much of a surprise
to Dad. It's what he's always
wanted"
The girl did not speak the thought
that came into her mind. 1t was
along the same lines as that ex-
pressed by her betrothed. For her
father and mother had always
spoken of Milton Van Saun as if he
were her own particular property.
They had, apparently, taken it for
granted that the only daughter of
the house of Livingstone and the
only son of the house of Van Saun
should make a match.
1t was the sensible thing to do.
Two old New York families who
had been friends for several gener-
ations should be united.

CHAPTER

Copyright, 1918, Star Co..
Dora Livingstone, flushed and a
little breathless from dancing, look
ed up laughing into the face of her
escort.
DO I appear any older than did
yesterday" she asked. And don't
you think my combined coming-out
and birthday party is a success"
Yes, indeed" he said heartily.
Which part of my question Is
that an answer to-" she challenged.
The first half, or the last?''
The last half, of course" the
man replied, gazing with undisguised
admiration down into the dark
brown eyes raised to his.
While there was admiration in the
look, the arder of n lover was lack
ing. Yet Dora Livingstone was, at
the present moment. pretty enough
to bring a quick throb to any mascu-
line heart.
OF medium height, her figure
was rounded without being plump.
Her hands and feet We're small and
well-shaped. Her hair was very
dark and her rich brunette color
ing was without a flaw. The rather
full lips and slightly retrousse nose
gave a piquant touch to her face.
Perhaps if Milton Van Saun had
not known the girl all his life he
would have been more moved by
her proximity and her personality.
Yet, as she looked at him, it was
with the frank gaze of a comrade
who demands recognition-not the
shy glance of girl who desires ad-
miration.
Milton had been graduated from
college last June. This was No
vember, and he was to start to-mor-
row for trip to California and
throughout the Western States before
settling down in his fathers office.
Van Saun, Sr., was a prosperous
merchant, and there was no hurry
about his sons beginning work.
The young couple had strolled
into the small conservatory at the
end of the wide hall when the girl
spoke again.
Answer the first half of my ques-
ton now" she commanded.
II declare 1 forgot it," Milton
teased. But I remember it now.
No. you do not look twenty, y,,one,
Dora. You look, in fact, ridiculous
away childish things and is now
fairly launched upon the stream of
society,""
DO II mean-why don't you
say look nice. Milton" she? insist
ed. CAS- my chum and friend, you
ought to tell me that 1 am going to
be a social success"
II know it and you know it. so
why tell your" he argued. Then.
with a change of tone, But 1 hate
it Just the same"
Hate what?" Dora asked, puz-
zled.
