curio dealer. "In fact, it is over a
hundred years old"
Indeed !" said the customer.
"Aye. 1t came from the battle of

it."
The customer listened patiently
while the old man recounted the story.
Then, at the conclusion, he returned
the sword to its owner.
''Thank you! That was very in
teresting, and quite enjoyed it," he
replied kindly. "But, unfortunately, I
bought that same anecdote once be-
fore with an old musket!"

Children of Phoenix will be afforded a rare treat at the Columbia theater this afternoon when the Golforb juv emile concert orchestra will entertain the little folks of the city in a special musical program as the feature of special matinee. Papa Golforb has carefully arranged a program that will especially appeal and the five little musicians will be at their best. The numbers will be entirely different than any offered by the little orchestra during its stay in this city and as d special attraction, Papa Goiford has arranged for a series of songs and dances
 In addition to this feature, the Col umbia program this afternoon and to- night includes Bert Lytell in "The Right of Way" a powerful drama of theaCanadian Northland from the.pen of Sir Gilbert Parker. former resident of Phoenix. The photoplay is of un- usual merit and one that the children will enjoy do the older folks. A Moran Lyons comedy is full of laughs A Ford Weekly rounds out the pro- gram. There will be two complete programs tonight. in which the Col forb orchestra will make its final ap- pearance.

No American who is acquainted with the conditions in Mexico could offer any objections to the proposal of Francisco Villa, the supposed out law to repei the Carranza forces in their attempt to enter the Republic of Sonora.

nounced yesterday at the White House
that his signature had been attached.
Secretary Tumulty, in making the
announcement. issued this statement:
"The president has signed the sugar

ton on the president in the matter of
purchasing sugar from Cuba. 1t is
doubtful whether 1t will be practicable
or wise for the president to exercise
the power conferred so far as the pur-
chase and distribution of sugar are
concerned
Some of the Cuban sugar has already
been purchased and there is no central
control over sugar in Cuba as there
was last year and it might therefore
be impossible for the government now
to step in and purchase the sugar
without increasing the price to the con-
sumner The BILL however. continues
the licensing power also and this power
may be used to assist in controlling
the profiteers among distributors.
Much Cuban sugar is coming in now
and the indications are that prices
have reached their peak and that there
will be tendency for prices to fall
