PRINTERS BENEFIT
 BALL AT ARCADIA
 WAS HUGE SUCCESS

NO dance in the Arcadia auditorium this season has been more successful in point of attendance or enjoyment than was that of the Phoenix Typo graphical union Monday night. There was also set a new record of attendance at the dances of that organization, for none or the unions ten preceding danc- es were more largely patronized. k The music and the decorative effects were the most notable features of the affair. Besse's orchestra of nine pieces rendered in an unusually delightful manner a well arranged program and as result the dancers demanded so many encores that it required until l o'clock to complete the regular pro- gram.
 Roses, sweet peas, palms and potted plants were used for decoration, and other features were panoramic views or the Union Printers Home at Colo rado Springs, a large Allied Trades council union label and several large reproductions of linotype matrices. one of each of the latter being attached to each of the pillars supporting the bal cony. Over 125 gallons of punch were consumed during the evening.
 Not only were the printers pleased with the result of their efforts to make this years dance one of the most not able ever held in Phoenix, but their 600 guests were alsd highly pleased, as is evidenced by the many words of praise heard during the evening and the fol- lowing day. A large sum will be real ized from the dance, the purrose of which is to add 10 the relief fund and furnish aid to sick and indigept printers.

J. 5. SUPREME COURT
 ID HEAR TEST CASES
Republican A. p. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON, April 21.-Steps looking to early determination of the government's authority under the joint resolution of congress, by which control # the railroads and telephone systems 2f the country was taken over, to fix ntrastate rates, were taken today by he supreme court in agreeing to ex- pedite consideration of test cases brought under the resolution. The 1ourt fixed May for hearing argu- ments, and final decisions before the court adjourns in June were considered probable. Three cases in all will be urgued, One is an appeal from Sauth Dakota supreme court decrees, denying the authority of the postmaster general to increase telephone toll rates. An ap- peal from the South Dakota supreme court denies the. director general of railroads has power to increase rates in that state and enjoins the Northern Pacific from carrying out the director generals orders. The third case is an appeal from Massachusetts upholding the postmaster general
 Government officials view the early determination of these as being of vital importance.

Minutes Count.

Most folks do not seen to know
that eternity is matter Of minutes.
In youth the days seem long, and the
months are eternities. That is espe-
cially true when the picnic doesn't
come until after the Fourth Of July.
It's about as bad as waiting for
Christmas. But the days pass on just
the same and every one adds some
thing to eternity. AS life widens its
experiences from months to years and
from years to decades 1t begins to
take on new meaning. Time rasps off
life's angles and years distill wisdom
from its trials and sorrows. All this
linked to multiplications Of itself
makes eternity. After all eternity is
nothing. more than the sum of life's
hours added to all the hours that
have been or are to be. They are the
sum of the minutes and in them lies
the secret Of seternity.-Grit.
