SHE GOT THE NOTE

A young man whose gallantry is in
excess of his means, sought to rem
edy this defect and to save the eX-
pense of the money required for the
purchase of flowers for his lady love,
by arranging with a gardener to let
him have a bouquet from time to
time, in return for his castoff clothes.
So it happened that one day he re-
ceived a bunch Of beautiful roses,
which he at once dispatched to the
young ladys house. In sure anticipa-
ton of a friendly welcome, he called
on the young lady that evening. He
got a frosty reception.
"Did-er-did you get my flowers
today?" he was finally forced to ask.
Eyes, and the note that you sent
with them"
Mote? Why, did send note?"
"You did A disgraceful note
scrawled with blunt pencil on a
piece of dirty paper. Here it is; I
don't understand it, and 1 don't think
you are very humorous"
The note read as follows:

The very low cost has proved ample,
there being an operation surplus ev-
cry year. Mr.. Coleman pointed out
it's possibilities stirringly: If Arizona
can sell bonds at 5 per cent, it can
loan the result at 51s per cent to
farmers and home builders, so that a
borrower of $1,000 may, by paying
back $68.80 each year for thirty years,
have in that time paid off all the in
terest and principal; whereas, if one
borrows this sum from private par
ties at 10 per cent, in thirty years
one will have paid $4,000 and still owe
the entire amount of principal! I'm
keenly interested in this measure be-
cause it means the development of
our lands, the upbuilding of the COM
munity and the creation of happy
homes, dispelling the bogies of Boil
shevism and similar unrest. Again,

MRS. SCOGGINS IS
STRUCK BY FAN IN
LOBBY OF Theatre

A very unfortunate, and what might
have proven fatal, accident occurred
on Saturday night, August 7th. Mr..
and Mrs. Scoggins were expecting to
attend the show They had purchased
their tickets, but as it was Il little
early, they thought they would wait
until few more people had gathered.
They stepped under the window, back
of the operator, and while standing
there a fan, evidently Jared off by
the vibration from it's revolutions, fell
from the window, striking Mrs. Scog-
gins on the head and rendering her
unconscious for about an hour. Medi-
cal attention was summoned and she
was taken to the hospital, where, at
last reports, she is recovering.

The Mexican saying, Gel paso

crystallized the Mexican superstition
Sunday, for the little cur dog trotting
out on the diamond must have had
some significance as per the sum and
total of the days results.
The Ray boys went over to Superior
with the intention of playing an hon
est-to-goodness game, and not at
tempting any rough stuff, such as they
had been credited with. However.
Jack Weitzel, the umpire, before the
game, called all the boys together
and suggested that as he was the
umpire, he was going to call them as
he saw them and there was to be no
grabbing. There was none to speak
of, but, unfortunately, in the sixth
inning an alteration arose between
Salazar and Stewart, the Superior and
Ray pitchers respectively. 1t is rath-
er difficult, without. hearing both
sides, to know just what the real
trouble was, or what caused the spill,
but it evidently did not amount to
much, for the two contestants for
fistic honors were each led away and
asked to cool off so that the game
could proceed.
The game had been fairly good up
to the seventh, but Superior succeed
ed in punching five good runs which
united the score and gave them the
bacon. The summary attached gives
the results.
The game was concluded about six
and the boys went up to the hotel for
their supper. A terrific rain started
while they were eating, and they de-
cided to wait until the rain was over
before starting home. About 7:30-
they made the start and had reached
one of the large washes between
Superior and Walnut Grove, when, in
attempting to negotiate a slippery
hill, the engine died, thus allowing
them to slide back into the wash.

That great vision, the San Carlos
project, moving gradually but surely
toward the tangible proportions of
reality was given new impetus Thurs
day, when, from all parts of southern
and central Arizona, citizens of the
state met to attend the annual meet
ing and celebration of the San Carlos
association. Nor was the meeting one
for the mere purpose Of talking about
the southwest's greatest reclamation
dream-it was a gathering for the pur-
pose of hearing what had been done,
and for planning even greater achieve
ments for the coming months.

ber of commerce.; mining linking
arms with agriculture in the effort to

as well as opportunity, the building

pie of Ray now realize that with the
building of the great storage reser-
voir in the canyon of the Gila would
come a greater diversifcation of in
dustries, production of foodstuffs close
to the great mining districts, and
more abundant and cheaper power for

riches of this section.

"One of the olden-day residents of
