 ID WEAR WELL

Tt looks as if the shoes with Neolin Soles l am using would last another six months. Ihave worn them two years" says Clarence J. Bloenker, of St. Louis, Missouri.
 This is extraordinary wear even for Neolin Soles. But because they are made by Science to be especially tough and durable, all Neolin Soles wear a long time. And shoes soled with them arc a real economy.
 Buy Neolin-soled shoes for yourself and for the whole family. You can get them in many styles-at prices that are no higher than on shoes that give --ly ordinary wear. Have your old shoes re-bottomed with Neolin Soles, too.
 These eoies are noted for their com fort and waterproofness. also. They are made by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.,. Akron, Ohio, who make Wingfoot Heels-guaranteed to out wear all other heels.

CHURCH FEDERATION ROSTEROPEN WITH
 B|G LIST OF NAMES

The first and incomplete roster of the Phoenix Church Federation and Luncheon club membership was given our yesterday, carrying in it the names of scores of Phoenix citizens who have visioned the possi- bilities of the organization and have joined it to further the work of social service in Phoenix. The roster provides a representative list of the leading church and business men of the city. who have agreed to devote an hours time each Saturday to meetings of the organization.
 In time, it was pointed out yesterday when the roster was announced, the federation launched with the members named. will become a well-acquainted, united organization that can act as one man to further the federation's cause. The organization has already defined it's task by declaring that there should be no unnecessary want or suffering here; no vice breeding places to con- taminate the young, and that there should be a living wage for the state.
 So large an organization as the roster promises is expected to attract the best speakers of the city and state, so that any man with message or a vision will welcome the opportunity to address such a representative body of men. President von KleinSmid of the state university has agreed to be the or ganiZation's guest possibly the first Saturday in May.
 Vice President Thomas F. Marshall at present probably the valleys fore most citizen, may be termed the father of the federation, as without his as distance at the first meeting of the club no such membership roster could have been obtained, as will greet him at the federation's next meeting tomorrow noon.
 The roster of the federation, as so far completed follows:

CHAPTER XVI.
Rickard In Town,

The town woke to matter-Of-fact
day. The sensational aspect of the
runaway river had passed with the
night. The word spread that the flood
waters were under control; that the
men had gone home to sleep, SO the
women got breakfast as usual, and
tidied their homes. The Colorado was
always breaking out, like naughty
child from school. Never would the
cry of 1.-THE river!" fall to drag the
blood from their cheeks. But relief
always came; the threatened danger
was always averted, and these pioneer
women had acquired the habit of swift
reaction.
That afternoon, Mrs. Youngberg was
to entertain at the A B @ ranch the
ladies' of the Improvement club. 1t
was a self-glorifcation meeting. to
celebrate the planting Of trees in the
streets of Calexico. and to plan the
campaign of their planting. Mrs.
Blinn drove Into town to get Gerty
Hardin. Neither woman had seen her
husband since the interrupted drive
the night before.

Opposition.
The second night of the food, the
women Of the towns dragged brush
and filed sacks for the men to carry.
1t was past midnight when Innes Har-
din left the levee. While her feet and
fingers had tolled, her mind had been
fretting over Tom. Two nights. and
no rest 1t was told by men who came
down the river how Hardin was hero
ically laboring. She yearned to go to
him; perhaps he would stop for few
hours to her entreaty. But an uncer-
tain trail across country, with the
dust-laden wind in her face? She de-
cided to wait for the dawn. A snatched
sleep first, but who would call her?
She would sleep for hours, so weary
every muscle. Her mind fixed on Sam
as the only man in town who had
time to saddle d horse for woman.
She went in search of him. She
found thai the long adobe Office build
ing had already taken on the look of
defeat, of ruin. The easements had
heen torn from the partitions; the
doors and windows were out. The fur
niture had been hauled up to high
ground farther away for safety. She
went hunting through the ghoulish
gloom for the darky. turning her lam
tern in every dark corner. She knew
that she would find him sleeping.
Then she heard steps on the veranda.
She ran toward them. expecting to see
Sam. She swung her lantern full on
two figures mounting the shallow
steps. Rickard was with her sister,
in-law.
"Oh, excuse mel" she blurted blum
derIngly. OF course Gerty would take
a wrong intention from the stupid
wordsl
The blue eyes met those of Innes
with defiance. It was as though she
had spoken: "Well. think what you

'Mr. Hardin is up at Fassett's

I told your husband, Mrs. Blinn. to

Gerty found significance in his
words. He had said "Mr. Hardin" and

enough to weave dreams around.

told him vaguely that he would find
Rickard around there, somewhere.
"Tll hunt him up for vou."
"Why, they are letting it get ahead

gested that he was aggrieved that such
carelessness to his revered company
should go unpunished. Something, he
told MacLean, might have been done

down was girlish.
She could hear the signal Of the To-

could hear the pant of the engine as
1t worked up the grade. 1t was a
steady gentle climb all the way from
the junction. two hundred feet below
level of the sea. 1t Quickened her
thought Of the power of the river.
Nothing between 1t and the tracks at
Salton. Nothing to stop its flow Into
that spectacular new sea whose basin
did not need a drop of the precious
misguided flow. She could hear the
bells; now the train was coming into
the station; she would not wait for
Silent. She did not want to meet
Rlckard.
No one saw her as she left the levee.
She passed Silent, who was Issuing or

She took the road by the railroad
sheds. to avoid the dismissed shifts,
moving downward. At full speed, she
collided with man, rounding the
sheds corner. 1t was Richard. Her
veil had slipped to her shoulders and
he saw her face.

"With every Indian in the country

you"
She recognized Parrish behind him.
She tried to tell him that she knew
every Indian in Mexicall, every Mexi-
can in the twin towns, but he would
not listen to her. "Tm not going to let
you go home alone"
She blinked rebellion at the sup
planter of her brother. But she found
herself following Parrish. She took a
deep pride in her independence. her
fearlessness. Tom let her go where
she liked. She had an impulse to dis
miss Parrish; every man was needed,
but he would obey Richards orders.
MacLean had told her thati "They
don't like him. but they mind himi"
Richard made his way down to the
levee. "Where is Hardin?" he asked
