ORGANIZE ATHLETIC
 CLUB AT GLENDALE

GLENDALE, July 12.-The young men of Glendale are organizing an athletic club. Many have already signed the agreement and have pledged themselves for s10 as the initial dues. The membership paper is held at Pil- cher's drug store and anyone wishing to sign may do so there. The inten- ton is to buy two lots in a favorable location and build a building. The building will serve as a gymnasium, with swimming pool, tennis court, mats for wrestling and boxng, and possibly roof garden for dancing. Glendale has long needed something of this sort for the young men. It was planned to sell the park site and use this money for community building, but, due to technicalities, the town was not able to sell the park.
 It is expected that the town will do something to aid the boys in their plans, and possibly some of the club organizations will assist.

SISTERS
 WILL SEND FRUIT
 ID SICK SOLDIERS

TEMPE, July 13.-The Pythian Sis ters have had returned to them some money from the ambulance fund which was raised by them last summer to help win the war. Part of this money will be spent in sending to the boys in Whipple Barracks, once a week some fresh fruit. melons or any other eat ables which the boys might enjoy. A number of people in the community have plenty of fruit or melons which they might gladly give to the sick sol- diers if some one would help get them ready and pay the expense of getting them to Fort Whipple. Any such per- son who desires to help by giving some of their fruit and melons will receive help from the Pythian Sisters. They will very gladly pay the expense of getting these things to the boys. For information see any one of the follow ing committee: Mrs. Mary Gibson, Ida F'rankenburg, Dickenson, Frank Sailer, Burtelson.

PLEDGES FUR GREAT TEMPLE AT MESA ARE
 COMING IN RAPIDL

MESA, July 13.-'Pledges for the great temple to be erected by the Church of Latter Day Saints, are con- ing in most splendidly." said Stake President J. w. Lesueur yesterday in talking over the prospects for the building. The only request for funds thus far have been letters from the stake presidency addressed to mem bers of Maricopa stake. Seven hun- dred of these letters were sent out and thus far 75 have responded. These 75 contain pledges of upwards of $20,000. Asked as to the remainder, MT. Le sueur stated that there is no doubt about Maricopa stake going at least S150,000. This stake comprises Mari copa county, with the addition of the wards at Hayden, Ray and Pine. The Thatcher church has pledged $25,000. In addition to these sources there is the church at large all over the state of Arizona, New Mexico, southern Cali fornia and Old Mexico.
 In the letters sent out the statement is made that the church authorities at Salt Lake will add an equal amount to any sum raised; that a temple such as that at Hawaii can be built for ap- proximately $200000, while one like the Canadian temple will cost double the sum and in case the latter is desired. it will be necessary to double the amount of subscription suggested in the letter. In the great majority of instances the member addressed has doubled the amount, indicating a de- sire for at least a $400000 building.
 The location has not yet been de- cided upon, save that it will be within easy walking distance from the center of the town. Contributions are received at the Lesueur emporium, Miss Thelma Openshaw being assistant treasurer of the finance committee.

Rain Damaqes cantaloupe croo

Last nights heavy rain almost to- tally destroyed the cantaloupes in this district due to the abnormal ripening conditions. It was almost impossible to keep up with the fields before the rains, as all the melons seemed to ripen together. The loss of the cantaloupes will mean the loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Salt River valley. This is a hard blow, as the money received from can- taloupes comes from districts that are not drawn upon for any other product. In the words of one of the growers. "Cantaloupes bring money from the outside. Alfalfa, grain and cotton, cattle and dairy products simply serve to make money change hands here in the valley

The reason that the per capita con-
sumption of sugar is rising these days
is due to the demand for something
which in the late afternoons will give
a new zest to life. Any one can try
the simple experiment Of finding out
what effect sweets have as a subst-
tute for alcohol by taking the equiva-
lent of four or five ounces of sugar at
about o'clock in the afternoon.
Although the sugar habit as such is
just beginning to be recognized by the
American people, the craving for
sweets is common to all races. The
Frenchman toward evening will quaff
his eau sucre; the italian will partake
of his water ice or ice cream; the
Spaniard will take his sweetened wine;
all of them will be getting much the
same effect as the Western cowboy
thinks he acquires from a good slug
of whiskey.

The collection included also several
unset emeralds which were considered
so remarkable that special measure
ments were made of them and draw
Rgs were made for the records which
gave their exact dimensions. The eX-
perts were much impressed by the
thickness of the stones. If any OF
them ever go astray it would be easy

This whole consignment, worth
several hundred thousand dollars,
came IN the possession OF the GUS
toms officials IN a peculiar way.
There came to the office of the Col
lector of the Port, Mr.. Byron A. New
ton, a calm and matter of fact person
who said that he was a lawyer who
had been retained by a Russian who
had recently arrived in this country.
His client had purchased for a very
small sum a consignment OF jewels.
He did not care very much for them,
something to relieve the distress OF
the owners, who apparently needed
ready money moro than anything else,
he had bought the gems. On his ar
rival in the United States he did not
declare the jewels because he was un-
familiar with our laws and at any
rate he considered them as little more
than harmless trtnkets. This snapper
up OF unconsidered trifies was show
ing the gems to an acquaintance, who
told him that he had violated the laws,
whether unwittingly or not. On
learning this the new owner arranged
for their sale and asked his lawyer to
surrender them. This was done. Out
of a shabby old leather case which he
carried in an inner coat pocket the
emissary produced all this glistening
store and exhibited 1t to the experts
who had been called In to examine it.

The Ural Mountains have yielded
many of the choicest of the green

known for many years as buyers of
the best stones which came from out

There came to this port OF New
York few days since an emerald and
diamond brooch which astonished even
the veterans at the Appraisers Stores
who have handled millions of gems
without feeling the slightest sensation.
What the history OF this remarkable
brooch was none was able to ascer-

Why does the human race crave
sugar? Because it was the booze OF
primitive man. The fermentation Of
liquors was not learned by human be-
ings until civilization had taken a
strangle hold upon the race. Sugar
may be converted quickly into alcohol
with the aid of a little yeast. 1t is
none the less a powerful stimulant,
however, before it undergoes any alco-
holic fermentation.
Sugar is a body fuel that is nearly
100 per cent. efficient. Its slim ulating
effect can be felt almost instantly.
