ARIZONA CANNED GOODS
PROVING POPULAR HERE

Products of the Arizona Preserving
company have been placed in the
grocery department OF all Phelps
Dodge stores for two reasons-thelr
quality merits, their popularity with
Phelps Dodge patrons and they are
Arizona products. Many attempts
have been maize by Arizona people
to follow the example OF California
horticulturiSts and it is now believed
that the Arizona Preserving company
is sufficiently financed to success
fully compete with coast and eastern
competition. The Sunnyzone grape
fruit packed by the Arizona Preserv-
ing company is most novel product
and one which is meeting with in
slant approval and success through
out eastern markets, despite the
strong competition of fresh fruits in
Florida.

But as the time approached for the

from you. You see, things took an

how you feel about money. I know
you want to start here in two rooms,

I really don't need 1t or even want It.
But Andrew" she cried, I'VE could

When a Man Gets
Married

BY JANE OSBORN


~ went about looking at small in
expensive apartments and until Joan
became used to it she felt acute en-
barrassment. Some of the janitors
and agents undoubtedly thought they
were married-and to have any one
even suppose that she and Andrew
were really married seemed a little
shocking.
you silly child" assured Andrew
as they walked along down a side
street in search of an apartment they
had seen advertised. There IS moth
ing the least bit shocking about what
we're doing"
"Only you're going to live there be-
fore we are married." said Joan with
embarrassment. "That might seem
funny"
I'VE don't have to tell every agent
our plans" Andrew assured her
"And when we have definitely settled
on the apartment we can explain mat
ters and there won't be anything sur
prising about it"
It was late winter and Andrew and
til the following autumn. Meantime
they had decided that they ought to
select their apartment now while they
would have wider selection than in
the autumn. As a matter of economy
Andrew would make his bachelor
home here until autumn, cooking his
own breakfasts BY way Of economy.
hn hn+ Gro Ir
agreed upon was two flights up in q
house without an elevator. 1t was
back apartment, with two windows
looking out on a rather pleasant
backyard and with the rest Of the
windows on a court. The rent was
oh. very little for these days-even
less than Joan and Andrew had
planned in their most frugal moments.
"We'Il make the kitchen the main
room-well eat there and I'll have the
walls painted cheerful yellow, with
blue and white gingham curtains at
the window. Wen have a nice big
bedroom-so two rooms ought to be
enough. Then we won't ever have to
worry about living beyond our In
come and we can save a little be-
Sides"
BY way of answer Andrew pressed
Joan's warm little hand There
aren't many girls like you, JOAN" he
said. You don't seem to care bit
about money"
'cI DON'T" said Joan with interest
IN fact, Andrew, I've always looked
forward to starting married life just
like this. That's one Of the things
that makes marrying you 50 nice. or
course love you, but I'm so glad you
aren't rich. And l want to start In
eating in the kitchen the way mother
and father did l can jHst see that
little kitchen, after you've painted the
walls yellow and I've made the blue
and-white curtains for the windows"
Soon after that Andrew signed a
years lease for the little apartment,
and having sent on a couch, bed, a
bureau, a kitchen table and a few
cooking utensils, started In keeping
bachelors hall by himself The weeks
passed slowly enough through the
long summer, and the first glorious

when he did not see Joan even for a
