MY FIRST AMBITION

Among my very earliest recollections I recall an ardent desire which pos sessed. me from the time I first learned to toddle about the door yard. That was to have pair of wings, to be able to fly. Tn the long summer afternoons when I would tire of play I used to sit on the doorstep and watch the birds fly about among the tree tops or soar up into untraceable heights amid the white clouds. Then I would imagine myself away up there in the blue away from my childish griefs and petty troubles. In my mind I would soar above the house tops and send messages to my friends or my mother below.
 To fly! That was the height of my

CHAPTER xI.

MacCloster's craal was a master
piece OF ingenuity. In It's center rose
he stnpendous Gala that had aston
lshed Andrea even from mile away.
Around the monster hut was m I'M
psssable bona or barrier Of thorns
pierced BY a single entrance; outside
the bona. Ia the form Of ring, came
I'm enormous beaten court which EN-
braced large shade tree, indispensa-
bic as nucleus Tor pow vows and
mems gossip. Around the beaten circle
were three thickly serrated rows OF
huts and their dependent outhouses.
Enclosing The entire human beehive
was stockade OF giant cactus with an
arehed entrance al each point Of the
compass.
Aside from the repulsiye fundamen.
tai idea OF the enterprise, MacClosterS
establishment was aSt0niShingly
moral. II was true that he had con
tracted for over hundred and eighty
wives IN strict accordance with native
law but II was equally true that he
allotted this army Of consorts. without
exception, to yeritable husbands OF
his own choosing. The only point Of
divergence from native custom was
iaat he demanded no payment Of obolo
from these drones and as conse-
Gaence retained The right Of disposal

 NOW |S ANXIOUS n
 FIND BARNES CIRCUS

World famous now as the direct re- suit of The Republicans broadcast publicity of his sensational exploits in running down the Al C.. Barnes circus and beating the circus men at their own game, Andrew Baumert. Jr., sec retary of the state board of institutions, finds his mail burdened with the com plaints of other alleged vistims.
 One writes from CaleXico that one of the circus lions broke loose and tore into his screen porch where $15 worth of damage was done, and that the cir GUS company just referred him to that good old bonding company. The victim is Ira D Owen, United States immi- grafton inspector a Calexico.
 Capt. Owen trustfully accepted the circus company'S statement about the mysterious bonding concern somewhere that would take care of everything, just a Baumert accepted a similar state ment here. Then he happened to read of Baumert'S exploits in chasing that circus across tn state of Arizona be- cause of the fluke in connection with the bonding concern. That put him wise and he wrote to Arizona's official in part as follows:
 While the circus was here in CaleX- into my front screen porch and did about $15 worth of damage MT. A. l.. Sands of the circus company re- ferred the matter, so he said, to the bonding company. I neglected to get the name and as nothing has devel- oped so far I wish to rush them up a bit or attempt to do so. If you will drop me a memorandum of the name I will be grateful.

 The gentleman who offered this prize did not expect, of course, that the winning platform would be adopted at Chicago; his object was not to facili- tate the work of the Chicago cOnven- tion, but rather to excite interest among the yor ng readers of The Re- publican in the study of public affairs and in that way to promote better citizenship.
 Thus. all who take part in the contest will be benefited and the object of the contest will be fulfilled. The winner, of course will get the prize. but it may be doubted whether the benefit he will derive from it will be much greater than that of the other contestants who enter it whole -heartedly.

MARRIAGE HUNDRED IF ALICE REDEW|LL
 AND EDGAR |. MILLER

Surrounding their plans with the utmost secrecy, Miss Alice Redewirl well-known musician, and Edgar C. 1. Miller a winter resident from Wichi ta, Kas., secured a marriage license yesterday and are believed by their friends to have been married last evening.
 Mrs. Augustus RedewIll denied all knowledge of the rumored marriage protesting that it was all guess work on the part of those who made in quiries. Dr. and Mrs. Francis Rede- will of Desert Inn, where Miss Rede- will had a studio last winter, could not be located last night and the rela tives in town of the charming young pianiste declared they had not been let into the secret. They appeared genuinely surprised when advised that license had been granted the couple.
 II is said that immediately after pro- curing the license, Dean Scarlett was reached over the telephone, but that he was unable to read the service, having an engagement for the after noon. Whether the ceremony took place and if so. by whom was it per formed. was the discussion last even ing after the relatives refused to make any statement.
 Miss Redewill passed the winter at Desert Inn, giving little of her time to society oile, IoNeNeI, gave d series of delightful teas during the season. and those who knew her well greatly enjoyed the informal teas on the desert. She is pianiste of un- usual ability. having studied abroad for number of years During the war she appeared in public frequently for war benefits in New York and also in the west.

EXTRA GRADE SAX
 |. N0W BEING BOUGHT AT S1.66 IN EGYPT

Extra grade Egyptian Sakalleridas cotton is selling in Alexandria, Egypt. at the worlds record price of $1.66 per pound. according to information re- ceived yesterday by the Arizona American Egyptian Cotton Growers association at it's main office at 27 North Central avenue.
 Compared to the top price as yet received for Pima cotton around $1 per pound for top grades, this price makes what has been termed in teresting comparison particularly when Pima cotton is acknowledged to be at least fully equal, if not superior, to Sak.
 The local gin prices offered for Pima this week ran from S6 to g cents, though the association succeeded in selling small list No. 3 and No. at 9S cents.
 The method of grading the Egyption

test in which all can gain and none can lose
 The rules governing the contest have been often printed and are doubtless well understood. The main thing now is to get to work, to finish the drafts of platforms already begun. Nor is it yet too late to begin. An earnest stu dent can accomplish much in two weeks.
 Contestants will also remember that they are eligible to participa tion in the s10000 Walker Blaine Beale national platform contest; a copy of the craft prepared for The Republican contest may be forwarded to the national con test management at Washington, D. c. Only for the. latter the draft should be mailed not later than March %. It will be sufficient if drafts for The Re publican contest reach this office by March 31.
Arizona republican., 1920-03-14

Sak cotton issdecidedely different from the local method, the grades roughly corresponding to the Pima grades run ming from No 1 to No. 6.
 The prices on Sak ran For fair, $1.511a; fully fair, s1.551a; good fair, s1.571I; fully goor fair, $1.5912; good, S1.6112; extra, $1.66.
 As announced by the association some days ago. it's information direct from Alexandria, from a confidential but reliable source, stated that at that time next years crop of Sak was being contracted for at from $1 to $1.20 per pound.

CINCE confidence is the foundation of - all business, it is necessary that the personnel of the officers of any Company and the methods employed by them should be of character to merit the con fidence and approval of the public.
 The average citizen views his life insur- ance company from the same angle as he does his bank, because the function of each is identical, viz. the conservation and protection of financial resources. This Company is fortunate in all regards, in that it's officers and directors are men long identified with the development of the entire state, and that the manner of operation is such that the maximum of benefit and protection is rendered both imum cost of operation.
