Autumn For Aqe

Perhaps we are getting old. though the wife says we are as foolish about a lot of things ever were.
 But we suspect aging, for we each year love the autumn more and have less yearning the stirring saps and blossoms of spring and less vigorous delight in the icy sparkle of old Boreas
 In autumn feel the God of the yellow hills bending a bit above
 There is peace stealing the valleys, these golden autumn days; a peace unvarying and serene as those straight rising slender columns of blue that azy steal from the chimneys of the dozng countryside.
 At the end of the the little streams have lost their tumult, and their passion
 They slip away in slender. shrinking lines of orange and silver scarcely enough of movement of flood within them float the brilliant eafy ships that tumbling down from maple and from beech.
 time of ripeness, yellow fields, dry rustling of fodder. whispering; floating hawks and crows. almost motionless in the serenity above.
 time for ntrospection; of counting up the years harvest of communing with your soul; of get ting acquainted with the good earth slowly sinking into her night of sleep
 golden autumn afternoon and you alone, out in the quiet, where the migratory birds fit silently and the bushy tailed red fellow in the tree quits his saucy scoldng, and stands still and erect his pouched cheeks stuffed with load for his pantry.

Where The People
 May Have a Hearing

To the Salt River Valley Water Users
 Association, through the courtesy of
 The Republican.
 I wish again to raise the drainage question, for which there is a never ceasing, irrepressible demand on our stockholders to tax the association to meet the drainage question.
 AS the depth of the water standing in the water basin, which lies between the White Tank mountains on the west and the Estrella mountains on the south, and embracing all the land un- der the Roosevelt project, the depth of the underflow being as yet undeter- mined, proves that this water storage equals as much or more than is claimed for the Roosevelt dam-and why not? There is outlet for only a very limited amount of water. The Roosevelt dam is unloading some three acre feet on nearly two hun dred thousand acres; one-half of this water enters the ground. and because part of this underground lake, in addition to this annual precipitation on the watershed of the Agua Fria. | New river, Cave creek, Salt and Verde rivers, owing to the granite formation at a depth below and the erosion silt covering carries the water into this l basin over which these lands are sit uated.

KEEPING THE GAME CLEAN

w. O. McGeehan, sporting writer fot the New York Trib., makes some com ment that local fight promoters and ring fans might digest advantageously.
 Observing that the International Sporting Club of New York has been organized for the purpose of rehabili- tating boxing in that city, McGeehan goes on to say:
 Major De La Guardia, the aviator congressman. gave the members of the club some food for thought. q hope" said Major De La Guardia, that when this new club is established you will do something for the young boys ol my district on the west side to protect them from thieving managers who take them and pit them against old, experi- enced fighters to have them beaten up and then rob them of the greater part of the purse"
 Major De La Guardia hit upon the greatest evil of professional boxing as it existed under the old regime. The manager of prize fighters, probably is about the meanest parasite that crawls In the old days the industry against which the major enters his protest flourished around all of the boxing clubs. The demand for preliminaries created a class of so-called pork and bean fighters who hung around fight clubs taking beatings for pittances These exhibitions helped considerably to throw the professional boxing game into disrepute.

Our Royal Visitors


 With the outbreak of the great war kings and monarchs lost considerable their standing with the people of the United States. But of all the royal rulers still extant. retains the good feeling and the we'll wishes of the people of this country equal Albert, king of the Begians, who with Queen Elizabeth of Belgium is a guest of the United States this very time.
 i It is due to the fact that the great christened in the blood of Belgium through the speakabe acts of Germany, and because of the very human part King Albert played during all those trying years that he emerges in better favor than most arches and has made people think of him a frst and a king afterward.
 l This is the second visit of King Albert to the United States When crown prince in 1898 he visited this country He was 2S years old and impressed the people being a rather angular and awkward youth tau pale faced. his handshake hearty and his English perfect and he made a very good inn ptession.
 The visiting party is rather extensive one but probably a small for royalty. It includes the present prince Leopold, the Belgian ambassador 10 the United States, lady in waiting her majesty military attache. aide de camp his majesty, ad- ltant to the court secretaries to both majestes their physician and the secretary to the Belgian embassy There is a stenographer and eleven servants. In ad- ition staff of officials headed by Brand Whitlock minister to Belgium, will travel with the royal party during it's sojourn in the United States.
 Society of Washington and New York has been preparing for tune for the entertainment of the king and queen of Belgium and there has been con- siderable discussion to just what is expected such a momentous occasion and what should be done. The announced entertainment of their majestes White House by President and Mrs. Wilson may be somewhat curtailed and changed because of the ill., neEs of the president.
 The royal party is going to make a tour of the United States, the exact itinerary of which has not been announced King and queens fast disappear ing and Albert and Elizabeth of Belgium will be than objects of much curiosity With the memory of Belgium fresh in their minds, the people of the United States will give the king and queen cordial and warm reception. Albert will disprove the general opinion of pampered royalty for he is said very tall and exceedingly strong man, able to bend inch bar of iron in his hands and the brakes of his mobile have be reinforced to them from being damned by his powerful muscles.
 There are also many fine stories about Queen Elizabeth. Mary Roberts Rinehart in her Kings, queens and Pawns" tells how the queen pawned her jewels buy comforts for wounded soldiers Possibly our royal visitors are vastly different from the usual run kings and queens. At any rate the people of this country going to have interested view of them and to know more about them.

I am writing this, Joan dear, in little hotel at Hollings Junction where Randy and I had lunch together. The plates were thick, the coffee muddy and, the chicken tougher than tennis ball. We weren't the first who had enjoyed the tablecloth. And there were flies.
 But did I care? Not I! The stuffy dining room was a lordly hall. The food ambrosia. The flies were mes sengers of cheer! For it was so GOOD to be at rest and with an old, loved friend
 don't know how long we talked, dear, with our elbows on that compro missed tablecloth. I only know it was 2, moment. And yet days. The delight of hearing about you first hand, Of learning all the friendly news of Rentsville Of being treasured by this blessed Randy that the gossip Mrs. Mills circulated was not so seri- ous as thought. All this made it seem but a flash of time. Yet learning so much, feeling so much, transporting myself to Bentsville on the wings of Randy's narrative, makes me feel we must have sat in that old dining room for months on monthsi
 Tt wasn't so much the little -tattle that Mills woman had started" Randy told me, that sent me scrambling to your rescue, Dolly. It was what I knew would follow. I'm wise to that Heron chap and I was all too sure he would stop at nothing to accomplish what he set his mind 10.
 T was one of the very few who knew of the Ridgeley Lakes affair, and l de- ! It would enable me to snatch you out of his clutches and at the same time put wholesome crimp in this blooming elf-assurance of his. Why, that fel low was beginning to think he could get by with anything. He knows bet ter now"
 Then Randy began looking at his watch every few minutes.
 Don't hurry me, Rand" I pleaded If you knew how I hate to go back to New York"
 New York" he shouted. You're going straight to Bentsville with me. I've hired a flivver to run us over in an hour There's just one disappoint- ment for you. Dolly Joan is away. Had to go up to her Aunt Cynthia's to help with one of the kids. It's measles or pip or something"
 So 1 am sending you this line, dear, to tell you that the mere prospect of seeing old Bentsville again has made a new girl of me. Only this morning was sick with despair. Now my heart is singing. Randy has a way of resting and comforting q person without seem ing to try. He is so good to look at too What have you done to him Joan?
 The car is at the door and l am fair ly trembling with eagerness. I want the Heron chapter of my summer be- hind me as quickly as may be. want to bask in the homely peace of Bents- vile I am like . homesick soldier whI fared forth to conquer the world and found himself fighting ingloriouS mud and rain and all the powers o1 darkness.

 T suppose that Chrys-I mean Miss Lorimer-would better not know that a divers suit made after Certeis' design has been found in the fisherman's shack on the shore?" I put my own opinion in this question and Bob re- piled:
 T think not She's daffy enough al- ready over what she thinks she spells out on that ouija board. There would be no sense in giving her information she would take as more evidence that Certeis is still living. And no sense, either, in confusing her with mystery which probably will never be solved"

 My sister flaw insisted that het dead husband had not left her a widow And my husband claimed to have res urrected the garb of the man I had seen disappear in the depths of the ocean,

 Lets walk" said Bob and without waiting for an answer. he took my ei- bow in his palm and directed my steps down the path which winds under the grand trees of the Lorimer park
 The mystery wouldn't be worth considering except on Chrys' accoun, She will never claim her right to her husbands foreign estates as long as she believes he is not dead.'
 Maybe that diving suit was washed ashore!" I suggested, Maybe some body-Jo Bach himself-picked it up and carried it into the hut"
 That's a clever idea, sure" Bon agreed, but how could that diving suit be washed without the body of the man who perished in it?'
 Maybe Dr. Certeis discarded it-- under water-and prepared to swim ashore! He was an extraordinary swimmer, you know-a magnificent athlete.'

children in school rooms about their conduct in roads and streets. On sev- eral occasions while driving slowly have sounded my horn to warn school children in the road, only to have them turn about and stand in the middle Of the road, no doubt expecting to jump aside when the car gets near. Now the driver never knows which way they will jump, and such conduct makes him mighty nervous.
 School has been open only short time. but I have observed this conduct on the part of school children several times, especially in the country.
 I suggest that teachers take this and the things mentioned in your editorial and impress them on their pupils in the class room at least once week. Sincerely yours,
