IN LOVE WITH HER PICTURE.

A man entered a shop one cold day
and bought muffler When he
opened the muffler he found inside the
photograph of very beautiful girl,
with note couched in these terms:
eff you are single, please write to
me-" A name and address followed
and the man smiled He was single
He placed the picture on the library
table. In week he had fallen in love
with the picture of a beautiful girl.
So he wrote to her A week passed,
during which the young bachelor was
in a fever Of impatience, Finally he
received this terrible blow: Dear
Sir: The Mary Jones to whom you
wrote was my grandmother. She
died nine years ago, at 81. Yours
truly"
Upon investigating this strange
case, the broken-h hearted bachelor dis
covered that he had purchased the
muff1er from a dealer who did not
advertise. -Altoon Tribune.

A REGRETTABLE FACT.

The Prescott Courier of last Week
says in part:
''The Holbrook field is to be con-
graduated on having two live papers
that place the advantages of the dis
trict and it's possibilities constantly
before the public. This public
spirit is to be commended and it is
regretted that other districts are not
so Fortunate
A glance at the papers from the
locality referred to shows, through
their advrtising columns, that they
are we'll patronized and that the edi-
tors in return are giving their pa
irons value received in the shape Of
good papers, boosting the resources
and possibilities of the locality
Yes, it may be regrettable fact that
some other districts are not so for
tunate as to have papers, but when
you find locality that is so dog
gonned provincial, narrow and Mig
gardly that it cannot appreciate a
paper when it has one, then it is
unfortunate that it should have any,
for it is written in Scripture, "Give
not that which is holy to the dogs;
neither cast thee thy pearls before
swine"

THE AZTECS HAVE TROUBLES.

Disaffection has crept into the
ranks of the Aztec Club of Parker
since the celebration of Mexican in
dependence day. as the result of dis
agreement as to the proper place for
the Mexican flag in a parade. In
the grand pageant on that day, A. M.
Reyes, president of the club and ex-
officio president of the day and mas
ter of ceremonies, ordered the Ameri-
can flag placed above the Mexican
flag. Some of the "muchachos"
protested, contending that the flag
of Mexico should be above that of the
"Gringro. However, the presidents
orders prevailed during the parade,
but when the matter came up in
meeting, then there was trouble.
The result was that the president was
canned for his disloyalty to Manana-
land and told to "vamose, carajo!'
Now Reyes, who is clerk in the
Parker Commercial Company's store.
Is a pretty bright lad or at least
knows "beans when the bags are
open," and there were others in the
club who likewise knew a thing or
two and sided with Reyes. The out
come was that rival club was or
ganized, to be known as the Sara
gosa Club" and will be composed
almost exclusively of farmers. The
new organization starts with a mem
bership of about dozen, with the
following officers: Alberto M. REYES.
president; Pedro A. Tapia, vice
president; Mike Martinez, secretary:
George Martinez, treasurer; A. Sal
mas, director. The new association
proposes making its debut by giving
social dance on the goth inst.

Worthless Mongrels.

During the past week a horde of
dogs have been roaming the streets
of Parker in droves, making the night
air hideous with their uncanny
noises, barking and bowling and
fighting and otherwise acting just
simply "scandalous.' No locality in
town escapes their visitations, for
they make the rounds of the burg
several times each night In these
days Of high cost of living it would
be very interesting to know why, in
the name of horse-sense, people keep
these worthless mongrels Out on q
ranch dogs are very serviceable, in
fact a necessity; but in town they
are veritable nuisance, especially
when permitted to carry on this way,
and the keeping of them is simply
indefensible

Change of Location.

The Parker postoffice was moved
from the old wooden building down
on California avenue to a room in the
concrete block on Arizona avenue, in
which the bank, drug store, Offices,
and the Raney Mercantile company
are located. 1t is just across the
street from the Parker Commercial
company's store and in close touch
with all other business houses. The
change is much appreciated by its
patrons. The postmistress has fitted
up a neat Office with a comfortable
lobby, and, with our national colors
and service flag duly ON display,
Parker's postoffice will now compare
favorably with any in the county.

LIMIT SALES
OF GASOLINE.

Asking the cooperation of the
members of the oil industry and the
public at large in the movement to
conserve man-pOwer, D. M. Folsom.
director of the Pacific coast section
OF the oil division of the fuel admin
lstration, has announced that all sell
ers and distributors of gasoline and
distillate, without exception, have
| been requested to limit their sales to
| the hours between 6 a. m. and 6 D. m.
The appeal is made in all states of
the Pacific coast section, including
California, Oregon, Washington, Ar
izona, Nevada, Utah and Idaho and
the Hawaiian Islands. The limit of
the hours of service will work no in
convenience on the gasoline and en-
CINE distillate consuming public, re-
curing only little forethought in
order to secure their requirements.
With the public cooperating with
the Oil companies and making their
purchases only during the hours sug-
gested by Mr.. Folsom, it is pointed
out that large reduction can be
made in the number of employees
needed in the distribution of gasoline
and engine distillate throughout the
Pacific coast states and these men
released are made available for ma
tional service.
Mr. Folsom acted at the suggestion
OF the Pacific Coast Petroleum War
Service committee, which has been
considering the problem of conserv-
ing man-power for some time. follow
ing the appeal of A. C. Bedford.
chairman of the National Petroleum
War Service committee. Mr. Bed
ford stated in a recent cOmmunica-
ton to the western body that two
essentials were to be kept In mind
In taking steps to meet the national
emergency:
First: That every man within the
draft ages whom it is possible to
dispense with should be spared for
military service" and
Second: THAT the vital Importance
OF the oil industry to the successful
carrying on of the war requires the
retention of an adequate force to
maintain the industry in the highest
state of operating efficiency
Chairman Baruca, of the war in
dustries board, in a recent order
placed the oil industry first in the
list OF essential industries.
The movement to'conserve the man
power of the country was initiated by
Mark L. Requa, head of the oil div
ision of the fuel administration, who
urged that every man that can pos
sibly be dispensed with be released
for national service.

AIRPLANES AT PHOENIX.

PHOENIX, Get. Immediately
following his return from San Diego
where he went to confer with Lieu
tenant Colonel Burwell commanding
officer of the Rockwell aviation field,
Secretary c. D. Boyce of the State
Fair commission, announced that two
government airplanes would be sent
to Phoenix for the purpose of making
lexhibition flights during fair week.
Not content with securing this
great attraction, Secretary BOyce has
set out to secure the greatest possible
attraction for the people Of Arizona
nothing less, in fact than the pres
ence during the fair week of Lieuten-
ant Frank Luke, the sensat ational
young Arizona flyer who, by Lis dar
ing exploits recently in France, has
earned the title for himself OF the
American Ace of Aces.
Boyce does not wish the impression
to become prevalent that Lieutenant
Luke will positively be here fair
week, for it Is not assured. However,
he does wish the people of Arizona to
know that every effort will be made
to bring the young Arizona hero
home to fly during fair week for the
people of his native state Letters
have already been written to the
Arizona delegation in congress and
to the war department to ascertain if
it will be possible to have Luke here
fair week. A definite reply should
be received shortly
If it is impossible to secure Lieut.
Luke. Colonel Burwell has assured
the fair officials that the pick. of the
government aviators who are now in
the United States, will be sent to
Phoenix to demonstrate just how our
boys in France are conquering the
Boche flying men.

RESERVATIONS FOR THE FAIR,

Reservations for box seats for the
State Fair to be held in Phoenix No
Vember IL to 16, inclusive, will be
received now at the Office of the fair
commission.
The sale of box seats, or rather the
reservation, began October 1st. All
boxes are allotted by the equitable
method of drawing for position.
Under this system all purchasers
nave equal chance and absolutely no
favorltism is shown. The numbers
are drawn from hat, and the boxes
allotted as the numbers are drawn
The drawing will take place Novem-
ber 1st.
There are 1876 boxes this year, each
equipped with six comfortable chairs.
The cost of box is $25, this sum
including admission to the grand
stand and to the box for six persons
each day during fair week.
Already number of checks and
reservations have been received by
Secretary Boyce, and as it is certain
that there will be more orders re-
ceived than there are boxes to be
sold, it behooves the prospective box
holder to get in early.

A MOTLEY CROWD OF TOURISTS.

During last week the largest num-
Der of automobiles seen in a long
time passed through Parker. They
were nearly all west bound. Quite
number of them were Of the emf
grant order, and had aboard in
worldly possessions what seemed like
the accumulatiOns of forty years
more or less probably less. In one
of these machines, among other
things of household utility were
some chickens and ducks in coops,
to say nothing Of dogs and a cat or
two, while another had, by way Of
variety, cage Of Guinea pigs-the
owner thereof no doubt believing in
the theory that pigs is pigs" There
were four or five cars of Mormons,
each containing a family-and fam
lilies they were in fact, for each had
from three to eight or nine small
children, something that ought to
bring the blush of envy to the Yisage
of our twentieth-century patriarchs.
No race suicide there, evidently.
Then there was carload of Gypsies.
A couple of women from this outfit
went about town soliciting the job
of telling fortunes, but business in
that line could not have been very
brisk, as nearly everyone here has
already made his fortune" and the
news would be stale to him, so they
did not tarry long.
These travellers all camped for the
| night of their arrival about town,
and a motley aggregation of human
| ity they were, reminding one forcibly
of the portrayals of the Exodus in the
days of Moses, or a detachment of
Robert the Penniless and Peter the
Hermit's Crusaders. But with all
| that may be said of their personnel
and antique outfits, some of them at
least were up-to-date enough to read
up and keep posted on the country
through which they travelled, for one
of them on stopping at one of the
| local garages, asked the proprietor
| thereof for some of that 'sice-cOld
drinking water" he advertises in the

FOURTH LIBERTY
LOAN DRIVE

The Fourth Liberty Loan campaign
opened in Parker last Saturday even
ing with an appropriate program,
and the occasion was marked with
the utmost enthusiasm as evinced by
the fact that this opening day OF the
Fourth loan showed a total of 58 sub
scribers with $4, 400 as the amount
subscribed, as against 22 subscribers
and 1880 for the opening day OF
the Third loan. This goes to show
more clearly than anything else
could that the people of Parker are
backing Uncle Sam, body and boots,
against the unspeakable Hun, and
that the latter will soon be relegated
to perdition or at least placed in a
position wherein even "saltpeter
won't save him"
The exercises were held in front
of the Grand View hotel where a
platform, duly decorated with the
colors, had been imprOvised and seats
arranged for the auditors, and long
before the appointed time a large
crowd had gathered eager for what
was to follow.
At 1880 the program began with
the singing of LA Marseillaise' by
the school children, the audience
standing to respectful attention dur
ing the rendition of that soul-inspir
ing anthem. This was followed by
appropriate remarks with reference
to the Fourth Liberty loan campaign
in Parker by G. A. Marsh, district
chairman, and the Liberty Choir
sang, 1--WE Don't Want the Bacon
All we Want is Piece of the Rhine. y
This song was certainly very apropOs
and made ''hit' with the audience
Frederick M Hall was then introduc-
ed as the speaker of the evening.
Mr.. Hall spoke briefly but to the
point, showing among other things
the enormous cost of carrying on to
a successful termination the gigantic
struggle in which the United States
and it's allies are now involved; the
serious calamity that would befall us
and the civilized world in the event
of failure; and the imperative
necessity for standing behind our
boys who are at the front, Offering
their lives to the cause of liberty
and humanity, and calling upon all to
do their utmost in the material sup
port of the righteous purpose.
The exercises closed with the sing
ing of the "Star Spangled Banner
A couple of hours were devoted to the
taking up of subscriptions by the
charge, and a grand Volunteer
ball at Hosfelt's hall was the crown
ing event
The various committees having the
work in hand are deserving of much
credit for the thorough success of the
drive, and r. j. Martin and the Boy
Scouts, of the arrangements com
mittee, are entitled to special mention
in this connection for they certainly
worked like Trojans and their eff
forts counted for much in the ulti-
mate result.
The following are the names of the
subscribers to the Fourth Liberty
