hours. The Swedish police arrested the
Two Germans, and when the parcels
were opened they were found to con
tain very valuable jewels. gold and

To AID THE INDUSTRY
BY SHOWING At FAIR

Now is the time for an good poultry

poultry industry by entering exhibits
Tor the Arizona state fair. This is the
advise Of W. J.. Fetterly superintend-
ent in charge, who is especially anxious
10 secure a representative exhibit this
year from every section Of the state.
Entry blanks should be secured at
once from the office of the fair com
mission in the basement of the Elem
ing building, First avenue and Wash
lngton street or from Mr. Fetterly
whose address is IS East Adams street
The early filing Of entries will assist
the management in arranging for the
dlsplays and Will eliminate much con-
fusion which otherwise would arise.

Don't leave your birds at home"

iair to say oh, / have better birds

believe you and besides a chicken
never did take a prize running around
a haystack or roOsting in the top of
the old cottonwood tree.
Remember that the first week in
November is fair week. and get your
good birds in condition now. The time
IS short. Any man, woman or child

A FEAT THAT
WAS NEVER
HEARD Of
BEFORE

In this old work-a-day
world it is slow that
changes take place. It
took four years Of hor-
rible war to really teach
people the practical
side Of thrift and econ
omy.
The little thrift stamp
probably had much to
do with it. 1t was small,
the saving was small
but people found out
that small things really
counted up in a few
months.
Everybody of a think
ing disposition knows
that prices are going
up. Prices on clothing
are perhaps taking the
lead in advance. Some
have been skeptical
about this fact, but
shopping week after
week has convinced.
AS proof Of the thrift of
this district all one has to
do is to visit the French
Shop. The past three days
has found this shop crowd
ed to the brim with eager
buyers of Fall and Winter
garments. This is a feat
that has never before been
witnessed in Phoenix this
early in the season.
Perhaps the big cause for
the grand rush is the ex-
tremely low prices which
are being offered by the
Consolidation of the Joplin
French Shop with the Phoe-
nix French Shop.
The French Shop has
long been known for its
snappy new styles and high
quality merchandise. $780,
900 worth of the newest Fall
and Winter garments going
at such sacrificing prices has
caused a buying panic
among the women of the en-
tire district.
1t was amusing yesterday
to watch the ladies hurrying
to and fro choosing and buy
ing, but after noting the ex-
tremely low prices on such
elegant garments it was
very clear what all the rush
was about.
There were scores of wo-
men from out of town, in
fact it has always been
known that the French
Shop has been the favorite
of Phoenix stores for dis
eliminating dressers. The
good dresser of this great
city likes to know that she
has the very best and the
very latest to choose from,
and they have always found
it at the French Shop.

NO REDUCTION IN SHOE PRICES

costs have been based still lower figures, it was

lower than at present" the statement concluded

From present indications
it won't be long until the
shop will be cleaned out, for
real merchandise at such
low prices will do the work.

He stated. however, he did not

by the womep's vote. but 1t would
only be necessary to show that

ing bold enough TO haul their illegal
product down from the mountains in

common knowledge In the valley that
civil authorities were unable to handle
the situation and statements had been
made that the government had been
appealed to for aid.
The FIRST evening of the lieutenant's
stay in town there was considerable
speculation by the inhabitants as TO the
probable nature of his business. The
consensus OF opinion seemed to be that
his presence there held promise OF no
good for the moonshiner and a rumor
reached his ear that he was to be run
out OF town. This belief was substan-
tiated by the arrival the next day Of
Ave husky khaki-clad men equipped
with Springfield rifles and ammunition
belts. However. no more rumors were
circulated as to what action was going
to be taken and as the party had no
business that took them into the noun
tains, they were merely looked upon
with deep suspicion and given a wide
berth.
The lieutenant thinks that the young
arsenal that was a part of the equip
ment of the recruiting party was OF
more use than to advertise their pur-
pose, although there was not a round
OF ball ammunition In the party.

session is that all items of expense

everything connected with the pro-

Of the budget of the educational de-

If the tax rate is not increased and
last years estimated revenue Is
taken as basis this year when the
budgets are made, the schools will
receive, under the new law, $344, 200.
This is arrived at when the revenue
is estimated to be $946,000. Deducted
from this is $175,000 received from
