EXPENDITURES TO
Be WITHIN BUDGET

Up until the present time the Board
of Mayor and Aldermen have made
plans for no extensive permanent
street work, that is, paving. Contracts

was indicted into office will be com
pleted, and the Street Committee OF
the Board will expend each month a
sum for improvement and repairs on
the streets already down, but will
make an effort to keep the expendi.
lures strictly within the budget.

An Exposition Of

Anything that can be done by horses be done bs horsepower in machinery form.
 The truth of this assertion will be demonstrated in the FIRST ANNUAL EXHIBITION of the ARIZONA TRAC- TOR AND IMPLEMENT DEALERS ASSOCIATION to be given as a part of the SIXTEENTH ANNUAL TATE FAIR, November S-l3.
 What automobile show is to the auto industry tnis magnificent exposition will be to the tractor and implement industry--and more.

 Here will be found all the latest types of modern farm machinery exempfyng the newest creations of nve tive eeniusthe wizary which lifting farming out of the class of hdrn existence and making of modern busi- ness based on modern efficiency.
 Evervthinq from one-horse power orchard cultivation to 40 horsepower tractor will be shown and many novel demonstrations and parades of automove machinery will add interest to the displays
 Fifteen of the leading tractor and implement houses of inc state have joined forces make this first exhibition
 of prime magnitude and one which in itself will be well worth the price of admission to the fair

HALF GONE.

With today half of the year 1920 has passed into history.
 Days and nights have followed each other and cannot be recalled. What we have done or omitted to do is passed The record is written. It is we'll for those who in early January resolved to do this or not to do that or to try to be good or better, to take stock of themselves.
 The man who set his head and heart upon something six months ago and has achieved it may be well pleased The man who tried and failed has served. And the man who started to dry and hasn't is much better than the man who didn't even think. .-- It is not the day or the month that .anarks the passing of the years. June s1 is as good time for beginning again as is January 1. Our accom- plishments alone mark the passing of time and each day that the sunrises we have the opportunity to go ahead or to begin again.
 To want to achieve is good, to have the desire and to make the attempt is almost as good as to win. To strive
 that's the big thing.

Pastor and Convict in Pulpit Stage
 Demonstration

Atlanta, Ga, May 31.-In further ancc of his efforts to abolish whip ping of prisoners at the country con vict camps, the Rev. J. w. Ham, pas tor of the Baptist Tabernacle, one of the largest churches here, laid his ideas before hundrds of Allan tains today in concrete form as a result of a spectable he staged at his Sunday night sermon. Bert Donaldson, an eX-convict who recent ly made an address against whip ping, appeared in the pulpit of the church clad in convict stripes and was handcuffed to low bench. The Rev. MT. Ham brought forth a heavy leather whip which he said was simi- lar to those in use in the camps and explained to the audience how the punishmnt was applied. He did not bring the whip down on Donaldson but swished the keen lash through the air as he told of the pain it caused.

MONEY MIS-SPENT.

General Woods friends spent at least $1,2O0,OOO in efforts to obtain the nomination for him. Senator Johnson and Senator Johnson's s friends have spent an amount almost as large. And with the convention at hand neither is likely to get the nom- ination. Although Wood and Johnson control big majority of the delegates it is highly probable that neither of them will receive the nomination. One cannot help but think what these gentlemen-Mr. Hanna, MT. Proctor and others would have been willing to spend for the election of their fla vorite. If Hanna and Proctor were willing to go million dollars on q preliminary advertising drive for Wood which they knew would not be- gin to make certain his nomination, how much would they be willing to pay if they knew the paying of it would get the election for him.

YOU CAN INSURE YOUR WEATHER

A stunning blow to the rancoat umbrella and goloshes industry was delivered today by the encouragement that hereafter all losses, injuries, damages, etc., suffered because of the weather can be covered by insurance, It makes no difference whether the damage was done indoors or out, you can collect on your policy any time the clouds gather and break up an otherwise perfect party.
 Weather insurance is the latest inn portation from England and is vouhed for by insurance brokers, who contend that they will do every thing that the weather bureau tries to undo. Take simple case: The season of the Sunday school picnic, the annual outing and clam bake, the fete champetre, the lawn party, the moonlight excursion, the historical pageant, the folk dance on the village green, the band concert, the patriotic rally on the courthouse steps and the
 
 firemens tournament is at hand. Everything is set for a perfect day The committee on arrangements has done everything it can to give every one a right royal good time.
 Just as it looks as if the committee comes, a thunderstorm, tornado, cyclone, deluge or some other we'll known weather bureal product and all bets are off All hands take to the nearest barn or the tallest trees and wish they hadn't left home.
 We'll, it isn't going to be like that any more. Let the rains descend and the floods come. What care the picnickers, the patriots, the volunteer firemen or the enthusiastic supporters of tour next president ?" Nothing, absolutely nothing. They are covered by insurance. A good time has been spoiled and many frockcoat and dashing uniform may be ruined, but what of it! Somewhere the sun Is

Mass of Twisted Metal Alone Left
 of Navy's Pride

Eastport, Me, May 31.-A mass of twisted metals and charred timbers lying on Coney beach here is all that remains of the frigate Richmond, once the pride of the United States navy. The famous wooden warship, built m 1858, was used during three wars m capacities from admirals flagship to receiving ship and finally was burned for the copper in her hull.
 The Richmond was Admiral Farra- gut's flagship during the Civil War and was in several famous engage ments in southern waters and along the Mississippi river It IS salad that the Richmond was one of the first American ships to be camouflaged. During the bonn bardment of New Dr. leans, Farragut ordered the man-'-war camouflaged and not having the ne cessary paint, the frigate was smearad with mud, partly obscuring her from the enemy's view.
 A few years later the Richmond was retired but was put in commission again in 1898 for the Spanish-Ameri- can war, when she was used as a fc- ceiving ship at the Philadelphia navy yard. Then for almost 20 years she was held idle at the Norfolk navy yard but was put into use again in the World war as a receiving and training ship.
 The once great warship's days Of usefulness were over and a short time ago she was lowed to Eastport. The torch was applied to her by Captain John F. Turner, of Newburyport, Mass. holder of the worlds deep sea diving record After lighting several fires from bow to stern Captain Turner hauled down the American flag from the frigatet and jumped into Passam- aquoddy bay He was picked up by part of the ships crew in dory for the noted diver cannot swim,
 The beach on which the Richmond was burned is the most eastern point on the Maine coast and is where four other wooden frigates, the Franklin, Wabash, Minnesota and Vermont were burned by junkmen in other years.

Dirigible Line Across Continent
 Now Possibility

Cambridge, Mass, May 29.-A diri- gible airship line to engage in regular passenger service between New York and San Francisco is project in which war department officials would like to interest capital, with a view to having an air fleet immediately available in case of war, according to Professor Harvey N. Davis, of liar yard university.
 Professor Davis is engaged in eX- pert work on helium gas for the de- rartment, and is designing a plant to be tuilt at Langley Field, Va, where the expensive gas after use in the military lighter than air craft may be washed free of impurities and usec again. Estimates by Colonel William N. Hcnsley of the war department in- dlcate that it will be possible for pas scngers to go by airship overland at a cost of about 5 cents mile, at i speed of 68 to 70 miles an hour.
 'The advent of the airship as a regular passenger carrier is much nearer than many persons in this cuont,y lcalize," said MT. Davis. C. shall be surprised if the coming surr- mer does not see a line of airshirs i: operation by an English firm be tween the United States and the Brit ish Isles and I have no doubt what ever that year from now will see reg u.ar weekly sailings.
 "Ry the use of helium all danger cf disaster from explosions such as have wrecked big balloons filled with hydrogen will be averted. There will be no fear of ignition of the gas by bullets, lightning or sparks from the engine. In fact, it is pointed out that the engines may be placed inside the outer shell of the dirigible, and that oxcert for observation purposes rc car need be carried outside the big bae."
 While the present cost of produc- ing helium ls about ten times that of hydrogen, Professor Davis believes that Gev,ls rment of its manufacture wtli result ir cheaper product. He liam vii! he used to furnish the lift ing power in the $2,500,0o0 dirigible winch the navy department expects to obtain from an English manufac- turer soon.

 If there is, he is the ''man of des- tiny" according the revelations o1 Mrs. Sybilline Bollaugh, the Hungar- ian national prophecies, who was ask ed recently to apply her gifts to the tack of determining who the next American president will be.
