e The Registration

The man who does not register for an election is not the best kind a citizen; if it is physically possible for him register. does not make any 1citous he is with his tongue for good government, he is not model citizen unless he qualities to give effect to his ideals Nor he be of much force in the community. He of far less than the ward useful citizen He not help at some time doing fhe right thing. unregistered citizen do nothing.
 city authorities possible every citizen to register with the least measure of n convenience. Registration places have set at the city hall, the Carnegie library, at the fire station Ninth and Van Buren streets and the fire station at Five Points. These places will be kept February when registration for the primary will close.
 may be assumed that those who do in these circumstances the trouble register do a government they may have and do not how something more than s2,ooo,o00 distributed during the next administration, may be expended.
 The ensuing two years of Phoenix will be much momentous period than other through which the city passed in the nearly half century of it's existence.
 We would say that the administration will make break Phoenix in the end but it will have a mighty influence upon it for advancing retard ing it.

Not Necessarily a Myth

We are approaching that season, and are very it, when annually celebrate the episode of the cherry There many people who be- leve it is myth But that is because the story has distorted n telling.

It is hard enough to accomplish the downfall of small size with
 But in the beginning nothing the chopping down of the tree. No mention of such catastrophe by M. L. Weems, the Virginia parson, who 14o years ago wrote "A Life of George Washington with Curious Anecdotes Equally Hon. Himself Exemplary His Young Countrymen"
 Many generations have pictured the cherry tree lying upon the ground, the fallen victim of the the youthful hands of future father of his country. But MT. weems described nothing His story related only to the killing of the and that may the easily be accomplished by ''barkins" it. the historian plainly gives US understand chopped down for what George did ito bark the tree terribly don't believe the got the better of it."
 Then there is considerable variance to what his father said to George George his father. The following is the dialogue according to MT. Weems we may suppose present and stenographc notes of it in order that there might be distortion of the facts after George should the revolutionary forty years later:
 George. said his father do you know who killed beautiful little cherry wonder the garden?"
 Looking his father with the sweet face of youth frightened with inexpressable charm conquering truth, he bravely cried out: T tell lie pa. You I a lie cut with my little hatchet"

 Henry Cabot Lodge in his biography of George Washington devotes almost chapter to Weems whom regards genial old liar. MT. Lodge does not believe the cherry story calls the story "hopeessly ridiculousIy fa1se.v Other historians hold the same belief but the cherry story still blossoms every February 22 and may it do so to the of time.
 We do not believe n historians and we have no doubt that President Wilson would elect to believe Weems regarding the cherry tree al- most anything else than of Senator Lodge But whether the story true or not there is hardly another the English language that has more strongly impressed youth wit the value the truth the bravery of truth has given them more example tell the truth

Food to
Keep f anime
Off for Weeks
Trainloads of Meat Arrive.
While Other Shipments
Are Speeding to Termi-
mails or Are in Storage

The city will not starve, despite the
railroad and harbor strikes which
cripple the supply of incoming food.
Edwin j. O'Malley, Commissioner of
Markets, said yesterday that there are
93,743,l32 pounds of preserved meat in
the public warehouses in and around
New York. Four million pounds of
butter arrived from Denmark last
week. Cheese is here in abundance.
A good supply of eggs is in storage
and 25,000 crates of fresh eggs were
brought in two days ago. One hundred
thousand more crates of eggs are lust
across the river The QUANTITY of
canned goods of all descriptions is
sufficient, Mr.. O'Malley says, to last
tor several weeks.
Milk Supply Still Ample
Milk companies declared that their
supply was not seriously curtailed
Railroad officials said that every effort
was being made to deliver milk here on
time. Besides this encouraging report
there is plenty of evaporated and coy
dcnsed milk at hand.
Patrick D. Fox, president of the
Borden Farm Products Company. said
that he expected a full supply Of milk
to be brought into the city, but said
that there doubtless would be delays
IN distribution, due to the fact that
wagons had to pick up the milk cans.
The Sheffield Farms Company said it
had received its normal quota.
}. j. Mantell, chairman of the Rail
road Managers Association, declared
that milk would continue to come into
the city, for the children at least, if he
had to go out and stoke an engine
himself.
The Borden company's distribution
plant at Twenty ninth Street and Elev-
enth Avenue reported that the milk de-
livery was far behind schedule. Milk
was removed from the trains directly
to the delivery wagons in the New
York Central yards all the way from
Iwenty-ninth Street to Sixteth Street.
Ordinarily it is distributed from cen
tral platform at the plant itself. Sew
eral drivers who usually are on their
routes by o'clock in the morning
We're still at the plant at $50 o'clock
waiting for their supply.
Fresh Vegetables Held Up
Although Mr. O'Malley says 100000
cases Of fresh vegetables are gradually
making their way into the city, by far
and at the terminals. Produce dealers
expressed fear for the shipments of
fruit and vegetables, which they are
unable to get unloaded. One firm an
nounced that somewhere in the rail
way yards was a carload of strawber-
ries which it expected would be a total
loss.
Old potatoes have risen in price.
