The Toulouse goose is a good layer of

becomes broody, therefore other means
Of incubating the eggs must be found and
for this purpose chicken hens or common

7WO HOUSES ARE BURNED, THIRD |S DAMAGED BY FIRE

fanned by a high wind from the west west ire destroyed two frame dwelling houses on West Roosevelt street just outside the city limits late yesterday afternoon. The fire was halted by the fnoenlx fire department acting upon an emergency call before it spread to zo-odd adjacent frame structures and ate Its way inside the city limits.
 The fire. according to the fire de- partment's report, started in the house at 4ll4 West Roosevelt street, occupied py \. J. Kelley. It spread to the prop erty adjoining, at 1712 West Roosevelt, occupied by E. H. Hines, and had be- gun to eat its way into property occu- pied by J. W. Rayner, at ITO West roosevelt street, when the equipment rom No. fire station arrived. The firemen put forth all their effort at this point of the fire and finally succeeded in stopping it, but not until after so gallons of chemicals had been used,
 The fire was especially menacing on account of a high wind that was blow ing from the west, right in the direc- ton of the city limits. In the vicinity, the houses are of light wood construc- ton and would have been easy prey for fire and wind had not the depart ment arrived when it did, according to Acting Fire Chief William Simmons.
 There were so many little frame buildings out there that it would have been very easy matter for the fire to have destroyed all of them,' said the

PHOEN|C|AN FUR
 1913 SOON OU1

The 1918 "Phoenician," which will be published soon by this years gradu- ating class of the Phoenix high school, is expected to be far in advance in art work and in completeness of any year book that has as yet been issued by pupils of the local high.
 With a complete staff of department tai editors and business managers the annual this year will be success both from the standpoint of business and Of literary eXcellency. The business manager of the yearbook is Lloyd Tritle, ably assisted by Bartlett Heard. This team of young business men has already contracted with local business men, who have royalty upheld the work, for more ads than has ever been solicited by previous business man. agers. This will assure the firmest kind of financial backing for the an- nual, which will be replete with en- cravings and expensive paper stock and binding. The editor-in chief is George Kahrs, Jr., who has as his CO., workers, Miss Meredith Bishop and Miss Mary Odell Wood. The editorial staff is seeing to it that the matersel which is being collected for the year. book is the very best obtainable.
 The departmental editors are as fol- lows: Class prophecy, Joseph Thal- heimer, Jr.; calender, Norman Chaney; sports, Walter Tolleson: music and dramatics, Maureen Olson; society and clubs, Keturah Slagle; snap shots, Lee Moore; historian, Florence Latimer; jokes, Herbert Shelley; art editor, Leo Gleim; class poet, Evalena Yates; alumni editor, Clarence Erhardt.
 Despite the conditions due to the war that make it impossible for "business as usual" the business man. agement has made it possible for the annual to be sold at the old price which has prevailed since the annuals were first instituted at Phoenix high school. The color of the cover re- mains a secret, known only to the in- ner circle of the staff, but they assure the public that the cover will be abso- lutely different in color and workman ship from anything that has yet been tried in the Phoenix high school.

ANIMAL HOSPITAL
 |S TO BE OPENED

In order to give better care to ami mais requiring medical attention dur Ing the present period of labor short age, Dr. H. o. Ramsey and Dr. J. c. McGrath will open a veterinary hos pital at 10S West Jefferson street. May has been set as the opening date
 The location was formerly that of the Frank Woods horse -shoeing shop, MT. Woods having moved into the building to the west. The hospital will be completely equipped and will be made one of the most up-to-date and sanitary establishments of its kind in the west. Both Dr. Ramsey and Dr McGrath are well known in this city and valley, having practiced here foI several years. A hospital of this kind has been needed in Phoenix for soms time, and particularly so since the shortage of farm laborers has been so keenly felt. Ranchers find it hard to give the time required to their farm animals when in need of medical aid.

HARRER CASE
 HEARING OFF

The application of attorneys for the city of Phoenix for a rehearing of the case of D. B. Harrer vs. the city was denied yesterday by the state corpora tion commission. It is expected now that this matter will go into the courts for adjustment.
 D. B. Harrer is one of many residents who live just outside the city limits of Phoenix and who are supplied with water from the city plant. This had been by flat rate, but the city ordered such consumers to put in meters at their own expense and pay for the water at fixed rate.
 Complaint was filed by Harrer with the corporation commission. In a lengthy order made by A. A. Betts of the commission, it was decided that the consumers of city water who live out side the city limits need not install meters and that the city must continue to furnish them water at the old rate.
 There are many consumers of city water who live outside the city limits. and the order was of much interest to them.
