the Progress bonds at the election
next TUESDAY,, a statement was
issued this week bv Henry Boyen.
chairman of the executive COMMITTEE
of the citizens organization which IS
directing the campaign for success
of the bonds. Boven's statement.
a message Of inspiration to the great
number of citizens who are working
for the passage of the Progress
bonds, follows:
"The thousands of San Francis
cans who are working devotedlv for
success of the Progress bonds are
this week in the final stages of the
climb towards height that should
reveal to the people of this citv a
prospect of glorious growth and
achievement.
The election for the Progress
bonds on Tuesday, June 14th, holds
the promise of that vision of great
destinv for San Francisco.
THE call has gone straight to the
hearts of the citizens. ard never
before in the history of our CITY
has there been such a spontaneous
response. Civic clubs and their
membership in every section of our
city have united under the common
banner OF progress, and all are put
ting their shoulders to the wheel to
make the victory that is certain to
come most impressive one. The
spirit of success is in the air.
Passage of the Progress bonds
will mark the great turning point in
our city's history, and we of to dav
can scarcely estimate the untold
advantages that will flow to the San
Francisco of the future, to our chill
dren, and their children. to whom
we owe this great heritage.
In the Progress bonds, we San
Franciscans are presented with a
test of our faith in our own future.
A man who will rot make the in
vestments necessary to provide for
the future expansion of his business
is man who has no faith in that
business, and community that will
not make wise provision for it's
future growth is community that
is beginning to stand still. The
test of faith will be met on June Ia
Progress will win.
Water, transportation, and ade-
quate cultural opportunities are the
prime necessities for the healthy.
unimpeded growth of cities. The
Progress bonds meet these needs

TEMPE ,PEDAGOGUES

PHOENIX, Oct, Is up = Brilliant
passing in the last quarter after re-
covery of a Bulldog tumble gave the
Phoenix Indian school a to victory
over the Tempe State Teachers COL
lege here today,
The first three quarters of the game
featured a hard fought battle between
two defensive teams, interspersed with
hefty punting, Riggs of the Bulldogs
getting several off for 40 to SO yards,
and Bread of the Indians booting with
less form but getting long rolls on his
punts Vat brought his average nearly
up to that of Riggs
The TEMPE eleven staged desper-
ate rally following the Redskin score
and for few plays it looked as though
they might succeed with Dick and
Terrill taking two passes for good
gains, but James of the Indians in
tercepted a long heave to Dick on the
next play and the Redskins held the
ball until the final gun.
The Indians obtained seven Airst

CASA GRANDE
PAGEANT TO BE.
TRUE, TO LIFE.

PHOENIX, Oct. 15-Master crea-
tons of the screen, with all of their
technicians, historians and research
workers. have been produced with no
greater fidelity to realism and facts
than is being accorded Arizona's sec
ond great play of history, "The Pag-
cant Play of Casa Grande Ruins. y
This stupendous production will be Of
fered at the locale for three successive
nights, Friday, Saturday and Sunday,
November 4, and 6.
Under the direction of Conrad Sell
er, the services of more than hun
dred persons have been enlisted to
make this offering historically correct,
to the most minute detail. This re-
search work is carrying back over more
than two centuries.
m Costuming of the 300 players, Of
course, is one of the most gigantic
tasks of the production. En- this con-
1lection, the history departments OF
the University of Arizona, as well as
the high schools of the state, have
been enlisted to provide the correct
dress for the players.
Eeven to the scenic and lighting effects
will this fidelity Of customs Of the day
prevail Hundreds of lights and
candles will be Used to provide the
proper effects Of sunrise, sunset and
midday light CLOVIS of hundred
colors will be employed to effect the
soft shades Of twilight, or the pale OF
a desert moonlit' night.
Old Spanish histories borrowed
from treasured libraries of noted his
torians, are furnishing much OF the
information on which the pageant dI-
rector and his associates are basing
their scenic effects.
AS to the customs of the time, and
much of the historical data itself, the
director is getting his information from
memoirs of Father Eusabio Kino, cop
les of which have been loaned from a
very rare collection in California.
In fact, no stone is being LETT I'M
turned to make the 1927 pageant and
historical parade, in which legendary
things have their very proper place.
So it is that the Pageant Play OF
Casa Grande Ruins" on paper at least,
holds out unlimited possibilities, is
charged with certain engrossing ele-
ment that should inspire and create in
Arizonans, if no others, a greater love
a greater loyalty to the land OF
choice or nativity"

VALLEY FARMER
SHIPS CABBAGE
BY CAR LOADS

James Brogan, of the Arizona Pro-
duce company, yesterday announced,
that the first carload of cabbage to be
shipped out of the Sulphur Springs
valley for several years is being loaded
today and will go out Monday morn
ing consigned to Phoenix Brogan told
a representative Of the Dispatch that
this cabbage is as fine as any ever
shipped mot the great agricultural
centers of this state from Colorado
or any place else.
The cabbage was grown by B. T.
Todd and is being loaded at McNeal
which is near the Todd ranch. The
cabbage grower planted ten acres this
spring amid the loud laughter of his
friends and Brogan stated yesterday
that the possibilities are that all Of it,
several carloads, will be disposed of in
Phoenix at very satisfactory figure.
The Arizona Produce company is
handling this cabbage for BiSbee and
Douglas in addition to supervising the
sale and distribution of the carloads
being shipped to Phoenix. Mr. Brogan
will go to Phoenix Monday to dispose

prohibition, and had no small part
in the final adoption of the eight
zenith amendment. In later years, his
voice and pen have been much used
in the campaign to enforce this and
other laws. seE h An EaS
one phase of DR.. Landrith's public
activity has been his interest in the
youth of America. Officially, he holds
thee title of, citizenship superintendent
of the INTERNATIONAL Society of Chris
tian5 lF;ndeavor, and he EiS a faYorite
among Protestant young people OF
many denominations. His pre- sent
speaking lengagements nation wide / in
their scope are llnder the auspices
of the local christian ;Fndeavorg So
cieties and unions; but his audiences
are usually composed of men and
women of all walks of life and with
varied beliefs. and connections.
Typical of Dr. Landriths pungent
statements are the following:
"All prejudice is the child of sin
and ignorance"
Better be right than regular, de-
cent than democratic, respectable than
republican, and it is hard to be both
all the time
"Be fit to live and fit to live with"
"a man ought not belong to a
political party; he should merely be a
member of it,
"The church is Gods organized
omnipotence on earth; and it could
do what it would if it would do what
it could"
"The five prejudices that must die
before America can be first for the
veal of the world-and they are rap
idly dying-are sectional, sectarian,
partisan, racial and national"
Newspaper reports of his addresses
are highly complimentary. The fol-
lowing are examples:
''The, moment DR.. Landrith began
to speak the audience responded and
realized that a master of wit and
oratory was addressing the crowd. He
is one of the best speakers ever
listened to by a Warren audience. =
Warren (Ohio1 Tribune.
cdr. Landrith is. a brilliant orator
no question about it. His address
glittered with smart sayings and was
rich in simile, in metaphor, and IN
word painting He has a gift OF
humor, and, like all true humorists,
can be touchingly earnest and elo-
quent when occasion demands. In
fact, few more entertaining men ever
stood upon the platform Of City Hall. ="
Bangor (Ie) Daily News.
CDR. Landrith is unsurpassed in elo-
quence and power. The speaker
pleased everybody. Many said it was
the best address they had ever heard.
AS an grafton, independent OF the
subject, the address was master
piece. DR.. Landrith is an orator OF
southern type, with splendid voice
and pleasing personality, which
fascinates and captivates at the same
time that it convicts and convinces.

 The beast" has a leather hide. real horns, glass eyes. and velvet trimmings. Mounted on rollers with wires connecting to q switch board where the controls are located, 1t lodges from left to right, charges and retreats, with the head, mounted on springs, shaking as if in anger.
 If the matador can plunge his sword into the animal to strike g position corresponding with the heart of live bull. bell rings au- tomaticaliy and he has won. but he must kill in three minutes or leave the stage in disgrace.
 Bright mantillas adorned several of the women in the crowd of 250 Spanish and Portuguese at last nights fight" As the strains of the toredor song died. two banderillos entered. clad in short jackets or satin, embroidered in gold and sil- yer, silk brooches and stockings Waving red cloths they excited the bull and retired in favor of the pica- dor.
 The picador was clad in bright vel low. and on foot. Prodding the ani- nal with his lance to infuriate it, he vanished at the call of the bugle announcing the toreador. Marching down the center aisle to a thunder ing applause, the hero drew his sword, saluted dignataries in the boxes, and the fight was on.
 Sawdust from several wounds was spilled during the first minute of lunging and prancing and charg- ing in the deafening noise of the creaking rollers. At the end of the second minute the bell rang. Hats, lunch baskets and flowers were thrown into the ring, and many spectators rushed down front to em- brace the victor
 One toreador failed to win in an- other fight and was hissed from the stage.
