a jovinl mood, Invited Imogene and
| I1lll TO have soda ut the Smith Broth
ers' drug store down at the cor
ner. Again Imogene felt Bllfs resent.
ment at this further Intrusion of her
family. And again Imogene felt dis.
tressed and fearful.
But there wns nothing to do snve
to accept the Invitation. And so to the
drug store, through crowded streets,
Imogene and Bill went.
To all appearances the Smith
Brothers drug store was the last place
In the world for romance. 1t wns n
busy place, crowded TO suffocatIon
and common In appearance. But here
II was that romance came to Imogene.
They had to walt for seats at one
OF the tables, and when they did seat
themselves Mr.. Hetrick ordered choco-
late sodas for all four.
Perhaps you'd like something else?"
suggested Imogene tlmldly to Bill. who
was moodlly examining the menu card.
BIZ said nothing for moment or
so. Then he looked up with sudden
Hight In his eyes.
Heres what I'd like 10 ask for"
whispered Bin to Imogene.
He extended the menu to Imogene,
Indicating certain point on the card
with his foreGnger
1magene looked and then gasped.
Her heart ienped. A shy color came
to her face. For Just fleeting glance
she looked at BIZ with her soul I'm her
eyes.
"Will your" whispered BIZ In
strained voice.
Under cover Of the table Blll's hand
sought hers.
YES" whispered Imogene softly,
while the drug store was teemlng with
people, while Mr.. and Mrs. Hetrick
were commenting on the picture and
while no one in the store was aware
Of what was going on.
1mogene felt Bill squeeze her hand
rapturously and saw all the irritation
In his face disappear before great
wave Of Joy
Scarcely could she taste the soda
for the excitement she felt. And when
they were once outside the store and
she felt Bill take her arm tightly, she
knew that the most wonderful thing
In the whole world had happened to
her. ..9r,t 't@ I.'.I
IL say, Mr.. Hetrlck and Mrs Het-
rick" said Bit suddenly. "Imogene
has just said she'll marry me. We'd
like to get married soon. May we?"
lmogene saw her parents stop on
the sidewalk, which was fortunately
clear OF people for the moment, and
gaze at them curiously.
"Why-why, yes, of course" said
MIR. Hetrlck In rather amazed voice.
"But how--when-you say you Just
fixed II up2" .. a..
"Yes," laughed Bill joyously. 81
asked her If she would by pointing
TO the name OF sundae on the
menu"
'The name of sundae" repeated
Mr. Hetrick blankly.
YES" cried Imogene. "It was
called Marry Me Sundae.' And when
Bill pointed to II and asked me IL
would | said yesV"
OF course Il was all commonplace
enough to outsiders. But to Imogene
II was romance, heart-warmlng, soul
stirring romance.

Though people often smile
At things / have and wear,

Who once were quite correct
Who'd be the village jokes
AT present, l expect.
II wasn't long ago
To win the worlds regard
You always had to show
An iron dog In the yard.
Each family must possess
A scraper on the stoop,
No house was right unless
1t had a Rogers group.
The whatnot now is gone,
Along with Rogers art;
The dogs upon the lawn
With iron legs depart;
And, in this later day,
New styles in style appear,
To be themselves passe
Perhaps within a year.

To keep his proper place.

Mahaliu looked about more and
more. Suddenly she came to a great
big door which had written upon 1t:
Turn the key and you will see
Things to make you dance with glee. -
Mahalia turned the key of the door
and she saw before her eyes doll
walking about and another doll was
talking and there were all kinds Of
new toys, beautiful, beautiful toys.
There were lovely ladies and they
smiled at Mahalia, and they asked her
II she wouldn't come In and visit them.
"Oh, wonder IL couldn't live in
side this door," Mahalia said, for It
Is far bigger than my room."
"See," said one Of the beautiful la
dies, here are dresses and coats and
bonnets and shoes and ribbons and fur
pieces and muffs. If you care to come
here, all Of these are for you"
''Not for my sister?" Mahalia asked.
'No, for you," said the beautiful
ladies. "If you will ask the Fairy

and have all we want. We never scold.
We are different from the people you

In one or both OF the Tucson pa

taneously with, or shortly subse-
duent to the visit there of Sousa's
band. stories of the great bandmas-
ter. One of them at least was purely
imaginary, the work of a reporter
with a sense of humor, describing the
intense longing of John Philip for
ella monster.
But out of the past there comes
story of Sousa and Tucson that Is
much more interesting than any that
the imagination could conjure up.
And at that time little more than
% years ago, John Philip thought so
little of Tucson that he could not
have been induced TO visit it.
The story which was put into cir
culation from the office of the Ari-
zona Star stirred musical circles
throughout the country for two or
three months. Fred Ronstadt. now
one of the foremost citizens OF rue

DELIVERS ADDRESS
To PEORIA BUREAU

PEORIA, Jan. 15-- The Peoria
farm bureau met Friday night in
regular session and a very enthu-
siastic crowd vas present to hear the
message that w. X. Knox. the prin
cipal speaker, had for them. Mr..
Knox as president of the Arizona
Pimacotton wers' association
spoke on what the association had
done and also what plans were being
formulated for the future. He stated
that the association was now outlin-
ing plans whereby the cotton by. next
season would be picked by contract
labor. That is, the association
would establish zone camps and put
great numbers Of pickers into the
field and finish it in one day and then
go on to the next. However, all de-
tails have not been finished.
Lodge Meets
Peoria lodge, u. D., +. q A. NJ, met
last night and conferred the third
degree on r. L. Bates.
Game Brings Out Crowd
The quadruple basketball game be-
tween the Peoria and Scottsdale
grammar and high schools, proved a
winner Saturday afternoon when
everybody shut up shop and attended
the game. The school children were
no more noisy or enthusiastic than
many of the grown ups that attended
the game.
Petition Passed
A petition was circulated in Peoria
and Marinette today asking the
county attorney and the attorney
general of the state to ask that the
Water Users association be enjoined
from allowing the water of the Ari-
zona canal TO empty into New river
at this time. The reason for this
being that the river is made impass-
able to automobiles and all cars must
be towed across the ford.

Time Recalled When Sousa Had No
Abiding Affection For Old Pueblo

vas present at the opening Of the
new home OF the music house and
had received it then. That, she said,
was in 1890. some six years previous
10 turning it over to Mr.. Ronstadt.
The woman said that she had just
taken il out of the bottom Of her
trunk where it had repOsed in the
meantime. II was somewhat yelloWed
by age and there was apparent rea-
son to believe that it had been in the
possession of the woman as long as
she had described.
But the settlement of the matter
of the date when the woman received
IL was destined to become one Of
great importance to Mr.. Sousa. Mr..
Ronstandts interest in the music lay
in the fact that with q slight varia-
ton, for its adaptation to Mexican
music. it was the music of the Wash
ington Post March which had been
composed by the "March King"
shortly before he gave up the leader
ship of the United States Marine
hand in 1892. If this music had been
distributed by the Mexico City firm
two years before that date the sus-
picion would obtain that John Philip
Sousa two years later had taken a
fugitive piece and adapting 1t to 9TH
er than Mexican music. had called it
the Washington Post March.
Mr.. Ronstadt realizing the import
ance Of fixing the date of the distri-
button of these souvenirs had ques-
toned the woman very closely. But
she was positive as to the year and
recalled other incidents by which she
had settled immovably on that date.
The Star published the story which
was at once widely copied and was
reprinted in the ensuing number Of
the Musical Courier. New York, with
no other comment than a suggestion
that here was something worth the
while of Mr.. Sousa to look into. and
offering him space for statement
in the following issue. Mr.. Sousa
availed himself, at considerable
length, to O revilement of the ''Tuc-
son blacksmith" in such inadequate
language as the rules of the Courier
and the postal regulations permitted.
In the same issue the Courier ex-
pressed a hope that the mystery
might be cleared and thereby indi-
Gated that in it's opinion it had not
vet been. Here was the positive
statement of the woman that she had
received the music a certain year and
Ler declaration that she could not be
mistaken. That the music was a
souvenir distributed on such an occa-
sion as she had described. was incon-
trovertihle.
A couple of months later, though,
there was a solution which cleared
Mr.. Sousa of the charge Of plagia-
rism. A Mr.. Wagner a member of
the City of Mexico firm was in New
York on his way to Europe and the
Musical Courier learning Of his pres
ence, interviewed him. He said that
the woman was mistaken as to the
date. The piece was the Washington
Post March which had recently made.
it's appearance and had been slightly
changed by his house. Several thou
sand copies had been printed for free
distribution which. however. did not
occur in 1890 but early in 1898.

AGRICULTURAL BL DC
IS EXPLAINED F D R
MEMBERS Of BUREAU

The agricultural bloc in congress
is possibly causing more widespread
comment than any other group. Old
party leaders oppose 1t but are afraid
to saw much about 1t. Many special
interests view it with alarm and are
fighting it with the cry of "class leg
islation." There has always been
blocs by the special interests, justly
and unjustly. The thing that has
caused the wide spread publicity re-
garding the agricultural bloc, is the
fact that there has been no attempt
to cover or conceal anything. 1t is
In the open. People are wanting to
know who the. bloc is and what they
are trying to do. Is it a dangerous
body?
In a recent address before the
state farm bureau federation con-
vention in St Paul, MINI, President
j. r. Howard explains the agricul-
tural bloc, tells its aims and achieve
ments and gives the names Of the
senators and congressman who COM
pose ii. We give you here in part,
the address. President Howard said:
The Bloc Gets Results
"When congress convened last
April the situation had become so
tense that a number of congressman
who knew the actual condition con-
fronting agriculture resolved it was
time for something to be done for
deflated agriculture in order to save
not only the farmer, but the indus
tries of the nation. They recognized
the key TO the situation lay largely
in assisting agriculture to come
back" They sensed also the changed
conditions. They realized a new era
had come and with 1t turn in the
tide of basic productions. This re-
suited in the formation Of that much
discussed group in congress, the ag-
ricultural bloc, which has TO its credit
more agricultural legislation in the
extraordinary session than ever be-
fore was passed in a single sitting of
congress. Let me mention among
them the aid to the Federal Land
banks, the war finance relief meas
ure. the packer control BILL the grain
exchange control bill, and the farm
to market road law. Each measure
passed, however, although classed as
agricultural. has great value TO the
nation as whole.
Where Did Bloc Begin
IDe IlfSt injecting VI lIAe SS1'Ae
agricultural bloc was held in the Of
flee of the American Farm Bureau
Federation in Washington, d. c. the
evening of May 9Th. The senators,
known TO be interested in the agri-
cultural situation, were called by
Senator William s. Kenyon of Iowa
and Gray Silver. Washington epre-
sentative of the American Farm Bu-
reau Federation. Senator Kenyon
told his colleagues that il was his
idea that by bringing together Sen
ators from the middle west and the

By Bureau Publicity Committee

south, the principal agricultural sec
tions, it would be possible to bring
to bear sufficient co-oerative action
in the senate to enact legislative
measures which would relieve agri-
culture. He also told the futility of
his and other senator's endeavors to
ass any kind of remidal or col.-
structive agricultural legislation our
ing the previous short session Of
congress.
The Mechanics of the Bloc
"Thus the agricultural bloc had its
origin. 1t transcends party lines 1t
has its own caucus and is not amen
able to the party whip or party
discipline. Heretofore many bills
have been sidetracked simply be-
cause of policy and the domination
of leaders who would hold up the
bills rather than risk division split
in the party ranks. The bloc has
thus not only kept new and construc-
tive measures from the cold storage
warehouses of specially appointed
congressional committees, it has also
taken measures out of cold storage
and passed them.
THE agricultural bloc in tho sem
ate is not sufficiently strong numer-
ically to pass legislation. Its strength
lies in voting as a bloc and adding
that strength to one party or the
other according TO the way these
parties favor or oppose a measure.
II is the principle of Independent
voting applied to national legisla-
ton. 1t Knows no party. lines.
The Members of the Bloc
"The more than 20 members are
divided about equally between Dem
ocrats and Republicans, so it is truly
bipartisan organization. Most of
the westerners are Republicans and
most of the southerners Democrats.
In the senate bloc the western mem
lSers all come from states west of
Ohio. These men are entitled to
commendat ton, not only from the
farmers but from the general public.
"The house bloc contains members
from as far east as Pennsylvania and
is also bipartisan in makeup. The
members of the senate and house
agricultural blocs, and the special
work to which they are assigned, are
as follows:
The BIoc's Philosophy
Most frantic appeals have been
made to the members of blocs in
both brdncneS OF congress 10 sldHo
by the party" In other words, they
say If your party don't wish what
your constituents want, abandon
your constituents 1t is the con-
slant fear in some political quarters
that the majority party will be split
asunder by the agricultural bloc.
This fear is ungrounded, for a close
analysis of the bloc's actions viii
show that they are interested in the
economics of the present situation
and are not playing politics. Neither
are they trying to control legislation
as q whole. 1t is true, of course,
that the blocs have TO their credit
practically all of the constructive
legislation which has been passed
during the last six months, and that
none of it would have been enacted
if party leaders had had their way.
1t is just as true also that the ques-
tions interesting the blocs 20 date are
vital to the nation as whole, al
though almost entirely agricultural.
No one would argue that the farm
ers, representing q third of the popu-
