STORE NEWS SHOULD BE TREAT
ED ACCORDING TO IT'S RELA
TIVE IMPORTANCE.

In the news columns of tlis news
paper various items of news are treat
at with varying emphasis The editors
eereise their best Judgment in fixing
the relative importance of different
news stories,and assign space and dis
play to them accordingly.
The advertiser should follow this
same plan. Where there is little TO tell
about stores offerings-if that EVER
HAPPENS-small space should be used
When there is much TO tell-when store
events of actual moment TO tle readers
of this newspaper ar etranspiring-then
the big space and the strong emphasis
should be used. The reader expects this
in the treatment of ALL NEWS MAT
TEH-whether it deals with the social

is "news of, the d. W in the fullest

MOST ESSENTIAL NOW

There never has been q time when
the making, saving and utilizing of all
sorts Of farm manure was so essential
All fertilizing material is high in price,
and some cannot be had in sufficient
quantities at all. Farm manure may be
use for number of purposes to a much
greater advantage than commercial fer,

able can be greatly increased by keep
ing live stock sheds and stables well
bedded with straw, leaves and other re-
fuse about the farm.

CHANDLER CONS IN
 INTERESTING TEST

CHANDLER. April 1S.-Some inter esting records have just been com pleted in the advanced registry tests at Fl Rancho Palo Verde. owned by Frank Reed Sanders These tests, made by representative of the Uni versity of Arizona, and are exceed ingly gratifying to Mr. Sanders and even more so to the present owners of the magnificient Holsteins which figured in the tests.
 The Sl025 COW purchased by NJ. W. Hurley of Tempe, at the recent s. B. auction sale of registered cattle held in Phoenix, made 42 quarts of milk in e4 hours. In the seven-day test she averaged so pounds of milk daily. Milk weighs eight pounds to the gal lon, hence for the period this COW gave ten gallons of milk a day. The total number of pounds produced for the seven days was 526. and from this amount there were made 25 pounds of butter.
 The heifer, Lynfield Korndyke, was included in the tests and made 6S pounds of milk daily with a total of 46S for the seven days Her butter record for the seven days was 19 pounds. This animal is owned by H. W. Lillywhite of Mesa.
 Another COW, Frontier Pontiac Korn- dyke, made 15 pounds of butter in seven days, the remarkable part of this test being that it was made 22C l days or over seven months after calv- 1 ing. This COW is a daughter of the 1 5000 COW, Frontier Mona Korndyke 1 and is owned by Frank Reed Sanders

 Miss Bertha Muzzy, the director of this attractive quartet, besides lending her conralto voice to the vocal en- sembles, is a reader of distinctive ab1- ity, and her selections should give her an opportunity to reveal the charm of her personality. Miss Theda Owing gins, who contributes the lyric soprano quality to the vocal numbers, has dra matic gifts to contribute in monologue form. of which humor is feature.
 Miss Jennie Belle Perry, the mezzo- soprano of the quartet. is a pianist of more than usual excellence. Both in technique and in feeling her work is expected to prove a delightful surprise to her auditors. In Miss Watson the brilliant organization has a dramatic soprano.
 Besides their individual solo and their quartet ensembles in vocal offer ings, the Columbians will impress their nimble fingers into service as stringed instruments devotees. Miss Ferry will make the mandolin vibrate. Miss Wat son is mistress of the auto harp. Miss Muzzy gets primitive musical strains from the banjo and Miss Dwiggins in- dnces the ukulele to sing it's plaintive melodies. The program has been ar ranged for both afternoon and night performances with a view both to the entertainment and the educationa value.

ASS' IN POWER PLANT
 WILL BE REMODELED

MESA. April 13.-The Water Users association is remodeling the water power portion of the Chandler steam generating plant, one and one-half miles northwest of Mesa for the pur- pose of adding another power produc- ing unit to the electric system of the association.
 Some years ago the Southside Gas and Electric company, which then was furnishing gas and electricity to Mesa as well as Chandler and Tempe, erected the steam and water plant as an auxi- liary to be used at any time the power from the Roosevelt dam might be cut off. When the town of Mesa bought the companys local business, the steam portion of what is known as the Chand- Ter plant, was included in the sale, but the water power part, which included a water wheel and generator, the water flowing from the canal above the wheel. was reserved and this later was sold by Mir. Chandler and his company to the Water Users association
 Now as above stated, the association is spending a considerable amount of money in developing this water power portion Of the H. L. Chandler plant and installing in connection herewith an induction generator, which prac tically regulates itself. The improve ments when completed will constitute a unit that can be handled by one man and without any additional expense, at the same time contributing to a paying extent, to the volume of power pro- duced by the system.
