UNEXPECTED RAIN
 DROPs OV VALLEY;
 4 WELCOME GUEST

The rainfall in Phoenix yesterday was unexpected, according to Robert o. Grant observer for the United States bureau here.
 Unheralded by any of the surround ing stations, the rain started in the south central portion of the state early yesterday morning and gradually moved northward. The bureau here was the only one to report the rain in this sec tion. which includes portions of Cali fornia and New Mexico.
 From unofficial reports, tn, heaviest rainfall in this section was at Benson, which reported precipitation of two inches. This report was in the form of a telegram and unofficial, as no weather bureau is maintained there The bureau at Flagstaff, which gener- ally receives the first intimation of a rain in this locality, reported no rain yesterday.
 The rainfall in Phoenix was 0.40 of an inch yesterday. The normal rainfall here for the month of November is e.as of an inch, which shows the clouds have been rather lax this year, as only o.oS of an inch has been reported this month pricr to the precipitation

To show their appreciation of the work, members of the party presented MT. and Mrs. Johnson with a pair of candlesticks, a brief but well chosen presentation speech being made by the assistant superin- tendent, s. H. Weigle.
 The time selected for the surprise event was an appropriate one, as MT. and Mrs. Johnson have frecently re- turned from Scottsdale, where they lived for several months. The occasion will long be remembered by those who participated as one of good fellowship and joyfulness.

OUR MEXICAN POLICY.

The Mexican way of CAPTURING

monotonous is the policy of Washing

state department regards the matter

Bryan's day warnings were sent out
that persons responsible for outrages
against Americans would be called to
personal account. Not one of then

Whether the capture of two army
aviators and the holding of them foi
ransom will change the policy of the
administration remains to be seen.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
IT generally means you have been eat

authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they
become sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them. like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's uri1f0us waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours,, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you
have rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment. channels
often get sore, water scalds and you
are obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult good, reliable ply
stefan at once or get from your phar-

and your kidneys will then act fine.

The dry farming counties of New
Mexico are making most amazing

late scores of instances in which the
wheat crop of this season sells for
enough to pay the purchase price of
a farm.
The wheat in those counties is gen.

twenty-five to forty bushels per acre,
Oats and most rop crops also are

of farmers. has made a contract in

stated.
The wheat crop of the state is esti-
mated to be 100000 bushels. of the
value Of $lO.000,000. BY far the
most of 1t is in the northeastern coun-
ties, where agriculture was not ex-

HISTORIC LAWMAKERS OF TROY,

Edwin A. GoeWey in LeSlie's.
There are one or two teams, such
as the Cincinnati Red Stockings and
the Forest CITY club of Rockford, ILL.,,
which have been given more promi-
nence in baseball history. but the
Haymakers of Troy surely possessed
many unique qualities which warrant
a special chapter being devoted to
them and their accomplishments.

the remainder earned their living

ticular section had gained no fame as
an athletic center. but Troy soon be-
came known throughout the length
and breadth of the country because
of the successes achieved by its team
against the clubs of the large cities.
The Haymakers were an outgrowth
of the unions who first played on the

originally came together in 1866,

below that of 1915, the year just be-

during the war, and the decrease of
