FUNDS COMING

SALVATION ARMY APPEAL IS
NOT EETiNG WITH
PROMPT RESPONSE

The pledge. cards and cash turned

quarters as collections for the home
service fund, Monday. May 10. totals
only $3.50. REPORTS were received
from only one team, that being the
one captained by, DR.. W. NJ. Odum.
The sum of s3l1.O00 has been Sc
cured for the 1920 home service fund,
In Michigan and Indiana up to Wed.
nesday, April 49,. This is nearly one
third Of the quota Of these two, states.
True, the reason why In large
measure, is because Of appropriations
from community chests, of which
there ane a great number In these
states, but withal. 1t evidences a
splendid sentiment for the Salvation
Army.
The high esteem in which the Sal
walton Army Ia held by the public
generally. Is due to the simple direct.
and practical manner In which It has
always set about to aid humanity.
Never before in the. history Of the
organization has the u. S. Chamber
OF Commerce endorsed any organiza-
ton, however. at its last annual meet
ing, at Atlantic City. It did endorse
the work OF the Salvation Army, pass
ing these resolutions With represent
alive big business men voting, from
every section of the United States.
The Salvation Army has a wide
field for Christian service. and that
field to q considerable extent is one
which other Christian organizations
have not explored. To the Salvation
Army. a man is man. and po-
tential force for good. whether he is
found in the slums or in the gutter.

,HSTRIAL RESULTS IN
TWO CASES YESTERDAY

The May term of the Brunswick
city court. which reconvened Monday
morning, made further progress yes
terday toward clearing the docket of
the many pending criminal cases,
most of, which are violations of the
prohibition law and related charges.
! Juries in two cases yesterday re-
ported mistrials, having been tried
the day previous. They were those of
the State against Walter Bradham,
charged with disturbing public wor
ship, and Mr.. Eunice, charged with
. violation OF the prohibition law.
Both cases were hotly contested.
Denny Floyd, colored, was yester
day acauittd OF the charge of larceny
Of coon skins from. the steamer At
lantic. When court adjourned for the
day the jury was out considering the
case OF Herbert Owens, charged with
violating the prohibition law.
During the day H. B. Johns entered
a plea of guilty to- having whiskey In
his possession. but proved to the
court that was merely conveying it
to friends, and that no profit accrued
to himself In the transaction. With
a warning from the court to eschew
such accommodating practices fine
Of 500 and costs was assessed. which
closed the incident.

Do It Today

This is the last day when petitions for initiative measures may be signed. Petitions may be filed in the office the secretary of state later than midnight.
 Alaricopa county should furnish many moro the initiative petitions for the state high way commission bill and the proposed constitutional amendment relating the states bonded indebted ness.
 We sure that a very large majority of the of this county favorable to both measures campaign for signatures has not been vigor- ously carried The disposition has been to 'let George it." nobody has taken the trouble to apprise George the responsibility that thrust upon him. So he busied himself about something else.
 There is almost opposition at all to either of these this county but the people do not after initiative petitions and therefore, thous who would have signed have not been offered the opportunity to do
 would urge all citizens at whose door oppor- tunIty this matter knocked, to seek oppor tunty today knock a for the privilege of signing these petitions
 will great day for Maricopa county and the whole state when this proposed legislation has been enacted by the people.

The Road District Plan

Those who lived in the middle west a generation ago remember how roads built and maintained there Each township divided into road districts. each district with supervisor. The supervisor called on all male citizens to turn a certain time to work the roads, Every citizen required to put in two days and those who had property required to a little longer, according the amount of the property which they paid taxes.
 Equipped with blows and scrapers, the workers made a ditch here and filled up a depression there. The road work done made evident by irregular piles of earth thrown in the roadway by newly made ditches along the side. Much of the time spent in and resting horses. There was attempted connection of the improvements CD in one district with those of another.
 The road district system of the middle western states generation miniature the present Arizona system. But in respect at least the principle of the road district system better There the worst places in the were made passable. Under the Arizona plan improvements are not made where they most needed but in sections which happen to have the most money available which promise the greatest political returns
 So, have improved the principle of the old road district system.

 "A leather belt carrying a dagger on the side holds the kilt or lava lava in place. bright red turban is the head dress.
 "Too much uniform, the soldiers took cold.
 'When the native soldiers were first taken into the service of the United States, a less abbreviated and more conventional uniform was provided them, with the result that they were constantly suffering from colds; so there was a wise reversion to a uni form on the lines of their native dress"
 If exposure of the body to the sun was essential to these picked islanders, whose duties kept them out of doors, We might expect the average towns man who is indoors much of his time would be benefited by moderate ex- posture of the body to the sun.
 I have personally given the matter a fair test. taking three to six sun baths a week during the past nine months. Am weighing more than usual and have more endurance. The increased oxidation will tend to reduce those who are over weight. Remember that only heat rays pass through glass. all the
  that mosquito bar and wire screen fil- ter out a large percent of the violet rays which are the beneficial light rays in the sun baths. Even a womau's veil is quite efficient in stopping these rays, as it keeps her from tanning.
 The average individual can star! with an exposure of five minutes an terior and a like amount posterior gradually increasing the time. If you have a headache after the sun bath you have either taken the bath too soon after meal or. too long on exposure Do not expose the. head. I hope many will secure this valuable coat during their vaca ton season: A long coat oi tan covering the entire body
 Those in poor health should not ex- pose body to sun except as directed by their physician.

 In case the adoption of the amendment Arizona should propose undertake great pub improvement the question of issuing bonds to pay for it would be the taxpayers. If ma jority them voting, favored the improvement the bonds necessary to pay for it would be voted. If a majority voted the other way, bonds would be issued
 As matters now stand with the absurd limit of ss5oooo on our bonded indebtedness, dertake public improvement if every man woman and chiId4in wanted it. We tied hand and foot.
 Those who inthe interest ofthe great mining com panies opposing this try to terrify the people with the statement under the amendment we would bonds in the sum of s34ooo,ooo. Of course we could do that, the taxable wealth of the state could issue bonds in still greater
 But would the people do it? Certainly so large a sum and not in any unless they be- licved that would to do it. If more than half the taxpayers should desire to issue bonds in any amount permitted by law, that would be good req son why the bonds should issue. Taxpayers are not given to saddling bonded indebtedness upon them selves unless they is going to benefit them 
 financially.
