Down a long lane Of cherry trees

by dainty houses set back in walled

Between trees and flower bushes we

in a residence suburb on the outskirts
Of half-mOdernized Tokyo.
There in the little ground-level en-

wood floor Of the dwelling proper, hip

our shoes. No japanese wears his out

The Old Arm Chair
In Memoriam Of Mrs. Marie Robin
Son Wright.
BY EDWARD De LAC0UR.

Chide me not for loving,
Said a maiden fair.
As with moistened eyelids
She viewed "the old arm chair"
Memory is busy
Busy in the past,
Calling up the happy scenes
Far too bright to last:
Childhood's joys and fancies,
Coming once again,
With their mocking voices,
Rack my wearied brain.
Pictures l had painted,
Painted with my fears,
Have been blurred and blotted
BY the rolling years.
Friends / loved so fondly,
Trusting true and tried.
Like the flowers of springtime,
Have bl0ssemed, bloomed and died
SO while the curfew's ringing,
In the eve so still,
And the sun is stealing
To the Western hill,
often sit and wonder
Why this should be my fate;
But God planned out my pathway,
To murmur It's too late.
Some lives I know are brighter.
Some darker, too, than mine;
Tho dark my sky and cloudy,
on some the sun will shine.
So, friends, | will not worry
And try not to complain;
Tho changed had been my pathway,
'Tis true / often fain.
But chide me not for loving,
Said the maiden fair;
This only link that's left me,
My mothers "old arm chair"

BEST COW TESTER
 ID GET FINE CUP

There is on exhibit in the window of the Arizona Seed and Floral com pany a beautiful silver cup which will be donated soon to the cow-test- ing club of the Salt River Valley which has made the best record.
 The contest has been conducted un- der the supervision of the extension service of the University of Arizona and the U. s. Department of Agricul- ture, cooperating. The silver cup was donated by the Arizona State Bankers association.
 Teams of the following districts are competing for the cup: Washing ton, Roosevelt, Buckeye, Alma, Alham- bra, and Pendergast. Due to the splendid CO., operation of the school principals of each of these schools, the boys have done unusually well with their work, and have established a record, by making a 90 per cent fin ish. Out of 50 boys who started in the contest, 54 have turned in com piete records.
 The boys have been trained in mak ing the Babcock test of milk and Tn keeping feed cost and production records of cows, by E. B. OXley, ot the Extension service. Each boy .ha kept a careful record on a large milk record sheet furnished him, of the cost of feeding two cows four months has weighed the milk from each CON three times each month, and has made at least six Babcock tests.
 The records will be graded, and the team winning the Silver cup, an nounced soon.

TO BRING
 TOURISTS HERE

The Maricopa Auto Trades associa- uon at a special meeting last night appointed 0 committee to confer with other business organizations with I view to having some 15 miles of road repaired on the road from Globe to Sprlngerville in order that tourist travel, now going to the coast by the northern Arizona route, may be di- verted this way.
 The proposal was made by c. W. Quin, secretary of the Automobile Club of Arizona. who has just re- turned from Springerville and the road in question. MT. Quinn said al least $100,000 was going right by Phoenix every year because of about l5 miles of bad road in Broncho can yon, where there are boulders and wash-outs MT. Quin estimated that the necessary repairs would cost be- tween $5,000 and $5000 said people would rather come that way from the east, in order to pass over the Apache trail, but that at present it was al most impossible for them 10 do so.
 The committee appointed to work with Mr. Quin in an effort to get the road repaired comprises A. G. Dull mage, ". E. Ferguson, R. D. Roper desired by the committee and MT Quinn that the chamber of commerce M. and M. hotel men, the business houses and the realty board cooper ate.

NJ MORE EFREE
 AUTO SERVICE

Automobile dealers in order to cut down unnecessary expense decided at a special meeting of the Maricopa Auto Trades association last night to discontinue free service on new cars sold.
 As explained at the meeting auto mobiles should be sold in manner similar to a suit of clothes or hat When suit or hat is sold it is not expected by the purchaser that the dealer keep said suit or hat in re- pairs forever. The average person buying a car, as explained, has the impression the dealer should l ook after the car free of charge indefinite ly. The dealers take the stand that they sell a car in first class shape, and that in consequence if the car should come back for minor repairs it is but just, and business-likc, to charge a reasonable amount.
 Among those present at the meeting were Dulmage and Warren McArthur of McArthur Brothers, Roper of the Roper Motor Car company, Hotchlkiss of the Overland Arizona company, Cal Messner, Lennis of the Arizona Motor Sales company, Ferguson and keeler of that company, Pinkerton ot the Leach Motor Sales company, Starr with Cal Messner, and McAleer of the kissel Auto company.

bOYS IN FRANCE
 PLAY SOME TIMES

It is gratifying to mothers of boys in France to know that they are enjoying themselves and that war is not all hardships and peril, as one may sus- pect from reading the thrilling stories of the magazine story writers. Mrs. M. B. Riley of the Indian school has just received two cheerful letters from her son Logan H. Riley, a corporal in the 65th artillery. In his first letter of the date of April he writes:" I am some where in France and very nearly to the end of our journey after many weeks of travelling, for which 1 am very thankful. We had a delightful trip across the Atlantic and did not even see a submarine, so 1 am inclined to think the sub is very nearly a thing of the past. Had a lovely trip across England in one of their very old pas senger trains. Each car is divided into compartments each holding eight men. They are queer looking cars. I wonder what those Englishmen would think if they saw one of our trains start over the Siskiyou. Their engines are about ore-third the size of ours. We found England a very pretty country. I have marched through one of the largest cities; I have seen the quaint villages and the ancient architecture and the rolling green hills, but give me the dear old U. S. A. everytime.
 Mother, I wish you could have seen the people as we marched by. They waved American flags and children by the score stood in the streets catching hold of our hands. Mother 1 have a little surprise. l am now full-fledged non- commissioned officer as Captain Vance appointed me d corporal some where on the Atlantic. I have worked for the place ever since l have been in the army and thank goodness, my eff forts have not been in vain. I am still in the office and will continue to be there, I suppose
 In a letter five days later Corporal Riley says: After so many changes from one British rest camp to another we have found camp that is run en- tirely by Americans and it sure seems good to be back on American rationS Tonight for supper we had fried frit- ters just like you used to make. Well they were not quite so good but they tasted so to me. We have for a bar racks one of the very ancient build ings of this city. It is said that Napo- leon used it for headquarters once and it surely looks the part. We are quar- tered very comfortably though and kind of hope we may stay here awhile but don't expect we will as must reach our destination sometime
 We find the French people very courteous and their customs are very similar to ours, though, of course, there is a notable difference. Saw several articles that are very much in use in the United States, the most important one being Carnation milk. There seems

SAGE TEA PUTS LIFE
 AND COLOR IN HAIR
Don't Stay Gray! Sage Tea and SuI- phur darkens hair 50 naturally
 that nobody can tell

You can turn gray, faded hair beautifully dark and lustrous almost over night if you'll get a 50 cent bottle of ''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" at any drug store. Mill lions of bottles of this old, famous Sage Tea Recipe are sold annually, says a well known druggist here, be- cause it darkens the hair so natur- ally and evenly that no one can tell it has been applied.
 Those whose hair is turning gray, becoming faded, dry, scraggly and thin have a surprise awaiting them, because after one or two applications the gray hair vanishes and your locks become luxuriantly dark and beautiful all dandruff goes, scalp itching and falling hair stops
 This is the age of youth. Gray haired, unattractive folks aren't want ed around, so get busy with Wyeth' S Sage and Sulphur tonight and you'll be delighted with your dark, hand some hair and youthful appearance within few days.-Adv

10 be an abundance of food in the country although meat is a very scarce article. Beef is worth GO cents pound but regardless of price, Uncle Sam feeds it to his soldiers. I think I'll be able to get along on much less meat when I come home.'
 After describing many other things he had seen in France and en route, he says: Saw many German prison CTS during my ride on the French train. They are a very poor looking bunch of men and are perfectly contended to be prisoners. I'll gamble you couldn't drive them back to Germany. The people in Germany must be starving as all they can buy is potatoes and black bread, according to late report of a man who has been in the country since the beginning of the war"
 The rest of the letter is of a personal nature, dealing with his prospects and expresses a feeling of happiness at be- ing so near the front where things are doing.

 PLACE FUR IDLE

Col. James H. McClintock, represent ing the county council of defense. caught the ears of the members of the city commission and won instant ap- proval yesterday morning when, ad- dressing the commission at its regular weekly session. he urged the adoption of an anti-vagrancy ordinance the provisions of which would be so com prehensive as to comPc; every able bodied man in the city to engage in work of one kind or another So impressed were the commissioners with the idea, that a motion by Com missioner Irvine tha, the city attorney | be instructed to draft such an ordin- ance for. presentation at the next meeting carried unanimously.
 Pointing out of the commission win dows, Col. McClintock declared that seated in the city hall plaza were dozens of men who worked just enough to secure funds to provide them with necessities. These men, he said, would receive pay for two or three weeks work, and would then remain idle just as long as their earnings lasted.
 These men should be at work in- stead of loafing more than one-half of the time. In this way they can be aid ing Uncle Sam in the prosecution of the war. An acute labor shortage is felt in this vicinity at this time. To import aliens to meet this shortage is unnecessary when there are more than enough men right at our doors to do the work that is required"
 The suggestion of Col. McClintock is in line with the recent action of the state council of defense, which recon mended to Governor Hunt that he rec commend the adoption of an anti-vag- rancy measure by the legislature at their coming special session.
