MANY .FORDS ARRIVE
 AT RUDOLPH AGENCY

Business is goodnight pert, if you please-at the Ed. Rudolph Ford and Fordson agency on East Adams street. In fact, so much business is being transacted at the Rudolph headquar- ters that MT, Rudolph has almost lost track of the same.
 Six carloads of Ford cars were re- ceived by Rudolph during the past week. However, there are seemingly more Ford patrons than ever and when Saturday night paid it's usual visit to the Ford agency, the show room was practically depleted.
 Five more carloads of the cars are now en route to Phoenix and will be received during the present week, it is expected.
 Arrivals at the Ford agency last week, in addition to the Ford cars, included one carload of Oliver blows for Fordson tractors, one carload of Mckay blows for Fordson tractors and one carload of commercial bodies for Ford ton trucks and Ford chassis.

TRAVEIETTE
By Niksah The Oldest Place of Worship


 There are five sacred mountains in China, and the most sacred of all is Tai Shan. the Great Mountain, said to be the oldest permanent place of worship in the world. In 2,000 B. c. Tai Shan's crest had been a regular scene of sac- rifices and prayer for nobody knew how long. Emperors and lesser off, cials, even Confucius the Wise, jour neyed up the long, narrow trail of Tai Shan. to come near to the God of heaven and earth and make their pray CTS before Him.
 Since those days of simple worship. many temples and shrines have been built on Tai Shan's slopes. Buddhism, Taoism. Confucianism. An are repre- sented, and there are temples, too, to the Lady of the Mountain, who is called by some 3. fairy, by others a goddess, and by others the spirit or soul of the mountain. Whatever her character. the Lady is well represented on her noun tain top and her shrines are popular.
 The journey up the mountainside is accomplished by the traveller partly in a swinging chair supported by Chinese bearers and partly on foot The Way consists of granite walk. interrupted every little while by flights of steps HutNn StlttCH Oii anu cH anu become sleeper and closer together until the pilgrim has mounted $500 steps and the peak of Tai Shan is reached
 Here there are more temples and thick incense and grave old priests who announce pilgrims presence to the gods by ringing deep toned bells. A little way off is pointed out a rock overhanging sheer precipice. From this rock. called "The rock of the love of life" persons who had sick relatives used to fling themselves, hoping that the sacrifice of one life would appease the gods so that the other would be spared. Now the dangerous cliff is barred, and pilgrims are forced to ap- peal to the gods in the conventional Chinese methods.
 After seeing the sights of Tai Shan's peak and marveling at the wonderful view of Chinese scenery obtained from the top. there is nothing for the travel CT to do but take his life in his hands and be carried down the $500 steps ir the rickety little chair balanced dex- terously by the natives, who, the rider remembers comfortingly. have a repu. tation for being cautious and sure footed.

VERDE HEAD WATERS
 GET BURST OF RAIN

The headwater country of the Verde river came in for the best rain it has had in the year yesterday afternoon, according to a weather bureau report last night. An inch and three quarters of water fell in the hour of rain-the heaviest precipitation in the state for some time. Jerome also came in for good share of the moisture, while light showers fell in Globe Friday and Saturday. Prescott had several show CTS last week.
 In fact, the weather report indicates that Phoenix is the. only city in the district that Jupiter Pluvius is not smiling upon-the smile taking the form of rain. Although cloudy weather with occasional breezes have been prevalent here for a week only a few drops of rain have fallen, not nearly enough to notice. Local conditions had the weather man still puzzled last night and he couldn't promise Phoenix any thing at all, though the fresh breeze continued to herald rain.

lucky and the other vessels of ancient fame. For the remainder of the war the historic old ships took part in the operations of the Atlantic fleet along the coast and rendered valuable serv- ice as training ships.
 After the armistice the Iowa, Massa- chusetts and Indiana were sent to the navy yard at Philadelphia, where their colors were hauled down for the last time and they were consigned to the graveyard of ships. The Oregon suf- fered a similar fate on the Pacific coast. The other ships of the old navy remained temporarily on duty, most of them for use as troop transports, but they too, will soon be relegated to the scrap heap.
 The Oregon has been offered to the state of Oregon for such use as the state may see fit to make of it as a training ship and naval historical mu- scum, the only condition being that the commonwealth keep the old sea fighter in good condition as befits time honored pensioner of glorious history. The Iowa, Massachusetts and Indiana will probably be broken up in order that the valuable metal contained in them, particularly copper and brass, them, particularly copper and brass, may be utilized in the construction of more modern vessels. Several of the other old ships will be used for tar gets and the rest junked.
 Three other vessels, famous forever l in American naval annals, the Olym- pia, Admiral Dewey's flagship at Ma | nila Bay; the New York, Rear Admiral Sampson's flagship, and the Brooklyn Rear Admiral Schley's flagship, also saw service during the world war and are stiTl on active duty in various parts of the world. It is probable that in a very few years all of. these his- toric ships win be placed out of com
 mission for good. They win never however, be scrapped, in the. opinion of naval officers.
