Jean Whites Adventures in Arizona
Herein Is A Tale That Every Woman Should Read

I wonder how many of you know that an exclusive corset shop has just opened its doors in this city and that already many of the best grootned women in Phoenix have found their way into its dainty blue and white interior.
 Being properly and comfortably cor seted is the secret of being we'll dressed, thinks Mrs. Rodifer, who is the proprietor of the new shop. which Is located at POS West Washington street. And because she realizes the vast importance of the corset and also understands just how one should be fitted. Mrs. Rodifer came to Phoenix and opened this shop, which already promises to become a favorite among the city's speciality shops.
 Mrs. Rodifer carries a complete and exclusive line of the best corsets that can be found on the market. Her line includes the double adjustment corset, a maternity corset that has stood the most exacting tests for years, and a surgical corset that is recom- mended by the leading physicians of the country And also, you will find in this shop elastic corsets for the slight athletic figure, corsets with special features for the stout figure and corsets for reducing purposes. So 1 that one can readily see that what ever their corset needs may be the Rodifer Petite Corset Shoppe is the place where they can best be filled. l And Mrs. Rodifer is an expert corset filter. After extensive study, followed by several years of experience in the work, she has come to Phoenix, where her ability has already become appre- ciated. She is directly from San Fran cisco, where she conducted an entirely successful shop and catered to most exclusive trade.
 Each corset that Is purchased is personally fitted by Mrs. Rodifer and does not go from the shop until the purchaser is perfectly satisfied and is comfortably fitted. Mrs. Rodifer also understands perfectly the needs of the figure that requires other than ordt- nary corseting, and will suggest and advise as to the corset that should be worn in such cases. And she will fit these corsets just as expertly as she does the others
 Tn addition to the corsets in stock
 and those that are fitted to the GUS
 toner Mrs. Rodifer also takes sl<flful measurements and has corsets made tc
 measure for those who desire them They are delivered promptly. perfect

SEA WAsHEs UP cEMs

Diamonds washed up from the sea on the coast of Southwest Africa ti 1918 totaled 1,2s4.727 karats, valued at s1S,132,250. This Is according to gov ernment scientists who investigated the coastal diamond field, which is 270 miles long and was discovered in 1908
 These gems are found chiefly in the Pomona district and never more than fifteen miles from the shore. Most of them are extremely small. Although one of thirty-fonr karats has been dis covered the average size Is one-fifth of karat They are embedded in the beaches or in sand dunes.
 The diamonds are of many colors. Clear white crystals make up the bulk of them. Fellows, pink, purplish, blu ish. green and black stones occur. The gems are characterized by greater bril- fancy in the rough than any othezs found in South Africa--Lodi Sentinel.

sHRINERS WILL CELEBRATE
Moila Shrine to Present Frisco Expo
sltion shows Next Week-Oiivc and
Mossanie, Sixth to Eighth Streets.


The Frisco Exposition shows is the
newest conner in the first rank of the
big tented organizations. Indeed on
the first of the present year there was
not piece of show property bearing
the name of the Frisco Shows, yet in
the short period between the first
day of January and the twenty-first
day of March when the show made
its maiden bow in Texarkana, Texas,
Charles Martin, the owner, had as
sembled and built what is today rec
ognized as next to the biggest travel
road. 1t required unlimited capital
and superhuman energy to accom-
plish the heretofore unheard of
feat of putting a show of the preten-
tions of the Frisco Shows on the road
in less than three months. 1t simply
shows what a real Snowman can ac-
oomplish when he puts his shoulder
to the wheel.
Mr.. Martins first step was TO sur
round himself with the most capable
men in all departments that money
could hire and then he further dem
onstrated his generalship by CO.
ordinating their ability and giving
them fun sway in their respective de-
partments. The net result is an or
ganization second 10 none and the
show moves on the road and on the
lot like it was of years standing.
Briefly, to summarize, there are
twenty-five attractions, including
shows and rides, a twenty piece op-
cratic concert band, two bally hoo
bands, a minstrel band, two organs,
unifone and a steam caliope; there
are over five hundred persons with
the show. 1t requires thirty double
length railroad cars to transport the
people and the sixty-two wagons
necessary to convey the equipment.
Most of the entrances to the various
attractions are bulk of massive hand
carved wagons.

was a joke of some sort A few days
later when the family were away his
barns were burned and the wire
fences cut in many places. Farmer
Myers is unable to account for the
attack made on him. He has lived
in the neighborhood only three
months and knows of no enemies.
