TO Make Hin,
Care
By Beatrice Fairfax.
Y HE girl who longs for a mans

love might as well sit down
and face the fact that she
has to earn II.
The man who wants girl TO
care for him as he does for her,
must make an intelligent effort to
win her love.
But every day brings me frantic
effusions from a boy or girl. or
man or woman who writes some
thing like this:
I'm madly in love with some
one who doesn't reciprocate. we
don't meet often, and my pride
won't let me do anything which
might humiliate me In case the
attraction isn't mutual. Cant you
tell me something to do to win the
one love, since life isn't worth
living without my sweetheart
Let's take that sentence, MY
pride won't let me do anything
which might humiliate me in case
the attraction isn't mutual.
Doesn't II seem that a big, honest
love ought to be above haggling
over the price IL has to pay to
win what IL wants2
When prehistoric man climbed
up a high tree armed with few
cocoariuts with which to destroy the
guardian of the ape-womnn he de-
sired and to stun her" so he could
drag her off to his cave. he laid the
foundation of something which ex-
lists in his descendants today. All
the veneer of five thousand years
of civilization won't do away with
the basic needs and longings which
were the history of the human race
for about half million years.
The normal human instinct is to
go after your mate. The wooing
man and the coquetting woman are
hllt natural descendants of the days
when man grabbed his mate and the
mate pretended not to want to be
seized just to prolong the excite
ment of the struggle.

to be honest about them.
To win love is an honorable thing.
To want to win II is normal. And
in the honesty of a big feeling for
another is a weakling thing.
Real love doesn't often fail un-
less II fastens on the wrong object.
When a man tries to take away his
chum's sweetheart, when a girl
wants to steal the husband of an
other woman, the whole thing Is
too unfair to count as love. It's
Just selfish desire.

II is because one OF them has failed

The way to win a man or woman
Is first to love honestly and normally

high-minded understanding that you

WORDS OF WISDOM FROM
 POSTMASTER.G GENERAL HAYS

Washington, D. C.-Postmaster- General Hays made the following re- marks at a luncheon given by the Washington Rotary Club on August 10th. The last sentence of these re- marks, which is capitalized, was re- ceived with great enthusiasm by the Rotarians:
 q would like to fill the country with the Spirit of Rotary.
 "There is lot of business that is really sick, still staggering with the shell-shock of war and the debauch of extravagance, but there is good deal more that is merely malingering.
 "What we need more than anything else is the common sense of courage and confidence. There is, of course, the greatest era of expansion and prosperity ahead that the world has ever seen. Every one knows this and the only question discussed is when it will start. Well, it's time to go out and meet it.

PHOENIX STORM KILLS ONE
 AND DOES MUCH DAMAGE

Flood waters from Cave creek which Friday night threatened to inundate the northwestern section of Phoenix apparently have subsided without reaching the city, but have covered much valuable farming land in the Salt river valley.
 The rain which was the immediate cause of the rise in Cave creek was general throughout this part of the county. Heavy showers were reported at Fossil Creek, Canyon, Glendale, Mesa and Roosevelt. The rainfall in Phoenix was steady from about O. clock in the evening until early morn ing.
 The rise at Granite Reef up to 10:30 o'clock Saturday night when the water started to go down, was 7,500 second feet, or 300,000 miners inches.
 One man was killed, another ser iously injured and damage amounting to more than $200,000 was caused in a terrific wind and rain storm which struck Glendale shortly before 6 o. clock Friday night Two buildings were wrecked, the grammar school auditorium and the w. H. Anderson garage, where the one fatality occur red, and few structures escaped alto gether unharmed. Guy c. Richards was instantly killed, and Carl Rich ards sustained broken hip.

NEWS OF INTEREST GATHERED
 HERE AND THERE IN THE STATE
SECOND PHOENIX
 FLOOD ONLY HITS
 CAPITOL BASEMENT

The second flood hit the basement of the capitol where were located the offices of the state dairy inspector and the state entomologist. The latter had a valuable collection of speci- mans in addition to his records in the basement. In the bungalow were the
 records of the state land office. The park surrounding the capitol was flowing with water nearly waist deep. In the park were growing specimens of the trees and flowers that are native to Arizona.
 Shortly before noon Sunday, word was received at the offices of the Salt River Water Users association that rains Saturday night and Sunday had caused another flood to sweep down Cave creek and through the five holes in the Arizona canal that were wash ed out in flood Friday night.
 At 5:30 o'clock the sheriff's office warned residents of northwestern Phoenix to seek refuge on higher ground, and in a few minutes the water entered the outskirts of the city, having cut its way through the Grand canal, one of the largest arter- ies of the Arizona system two and half miles north of the city. This canal had withstood Fridays flood. The state fair grounds was the first part of the city flooded.
 At 8:15 o'clock the water began to flow into the capitol and in short time the basement was full of water and 1t was standing on the first floor.
 According to the reports received by the irrigation district headquarters, the water was eight feet deep where it came through the Arizona canal. After coming through the canal it spread out over territory several miles wide. By the time it had trav- eled the ten miles between the Ari. zona canal and Phoenix, it was about three feet deep.

COL. EPES RANDOLPH DIES
 SUDDENLY AT TUCSON

Epes Randolph, president of the Arizona Eastern railroad and the Southern Pacific lines of Mexico, passed away at his home in Tucson late Monday night.
 Colonel Randolph was easily the foremost railroad man of the south west and was one of the best known engineers and railroad managers of the United States. He was one of the regents of the state university, and, until short time before he died, was active in state and municipal mat ters. He was born in Virginia, being a member of the famous Randolph family of that state, which traces its ancestry back to Pocahontas.
 The railroad career of Colonel Ran dolph was begun in 1876 with the Alabama Great Southern railway. He later was connected with the Chesa- peake and Ohio and other lines in the Mississippi valley, as assistant, locat- ing, resident and division engineer. During this time his most notable work was the supervision of the con- struction of the great bridge across the Ohio river uniting the states of Kentucky and Ohio at Cincinnati.
 Colonel Randolph held large prop erty interests in Arizona, having been heavily interested in the Con- solidated National bank of Tucson, president of the California Develop ment company and having holdings throughout southern Arizona.
 As the late Epes Randolph, besides his prominence in the railroad world, was a thirty-third degree Mason, past potentate of the Shrine, and one of the most prominent in the south west, his funeral services were large ly attended by Masons and others from all over the southwest.

FIND CHA MONSTER IN
 BUNCH OF BANANAS

F. c. Marshall, Tombstone merchant, could hardly believe his eyes, and had this not been in the days of prohibi- tion, he probably would have credited himself with "seein' things" for this morning when in act of cutting ban anas from a large bunch in his win dow, large Gila monster dropped to the floor. Over half of the bananas had been removed from the stalk which had been hanging in the window for several days. The merchant says the reptile must have been in the top of the bunch in order to have escaped his notice during the several days the bananas were being removed. The monster measured fully eighteen inch es in length and was almost like the Arizona variety, although colored as nearly as possible like a banana. Whether it travelled all the way from Central America to it's destination in Tombstone or whether it secreted itself in the bananas after they reach ed Arizona is problematical The ami mal is now in captivity in MT.

GENTLEMAN BEING TRIED FOR MURDER
 OF BROTHER

Dying statements of Richard Vaver- ty, well known southern Arizona cat tleman, who was shot and killed on April 23, were repeated by witnesses and read by attorneys during the trial of James Haverty, charged with mur- der as the result of his brothers death, at Tombstone.
 'I didn't have a chance-no gun and both hands up," Richard Haverty said just before he died, Mrs. Frank Moson, a neighbor, testified. Mrs. Moson re- lated, from the witness stand the story of the shooting as, she said, it was told to her by Richard Haverty while he lay in a ranch house waiting for an ambulance to carry him to the hospit- al at Fort Huachuca.
 Jim rode up and told me to get off my horse and fight like a man" Haverty said, according to Mrs Mo sons testimony. q got off and Jim shot me from off his horse. Jim threw down on me and 1, threw up both hands and he shot me. Jim's son said to his father, you are damned fool Jim started to shoot me again but they wouldn't let him."
 Mrs. Moson's husband gave testi- mony tending to corroborate that giv- en by her.
 MT. Moson testified that it was he who, in the presence of his wife and several other neighboring ranchers, took down the dying statements of Richard Haverty.
 q was in the operating room," MT, Noson testified. When they started to give him the ether he said: Well, Frank, here's where I take the long ride The doctor said You're the nerviest man ever saw Dick died"

WHY DID HE TAKE HIS
 WOODEN LEG TO CHICAGO?

For ten years Thomas Sgnaw, an Indian from Grand Canyon, Ariz., guided tourists to get enough money to buy wooden leg to replace one lost in a tribal battle. He arrived in Chicago Sunday with $400 and asked a stranger where to buy leg. The man, he said, took him to saloon and he woke up hours later with all his money gone. Arraigned in court on charge of disorderly conduct, he was released on his promise to return to Grand Canyon as soon as possible.
