SHRINE. DANCE
IS CANCELLED
looming LATER
Imperial POtentate Carpen-
ter Changes Plan Because
OF Hotel Problem

Cliff Carpenter, imperial potentate
of the Arizona Shriners, sent word to
Rex Rice yesterday that after care
fully studying the situation and check
ing over the possibilities for attend
ance if the event were held as had
been announced, he had decided to can
eel the dinner and dance which he
had previously announced for Douglas
until such date as there is assurance
that hotel facilities will be ample to
care for the visitors.
Mr., Carpenter stated in his message
that Douglas was generally popular
with Shrine-s all over the state and in
the adjoining state of New Mexico and
any program intended to interest the
membership would certainly draw from
200 to 500. He said that he regarded
it as unfortunate that the announce
ment had been made but that his en-
thusiasm to meet with the ShrinerS in
this section had impelled him to try
to make a program which would bring
that about and had resulted in The
dance plans.
The imperial potentate asked that it
be stated he would keep Douglas in
mind and just as soon as there was
reasonable assurance of accommodate
ing the attendance, he would arrange
for a visit here.

CADSDEN WALLS

The high wind yesterday afternoon

BATTLE OF BIRDS AGAINST BUGS
SCHEDULED FOR FRIDAY, APRIL l3.
BOYS AND GIRLS AS BIRDS ALLY

Be it resolved that Friday,
april Is, shall be a lucky day for
the birds of Arizona and a day
OF disaster to the bugs.
The foregoing tells in a sentence
what has been proclaimed from the
state capitol at Phoenix properly
attested by the secretary OF state
after it had been signed by his
excellency, the governor The aim
and intent of the proclamation is
the formation of a cordial entente"
between the school children of the
state and the birds, all and sundry,
to the end that the birds will peck
heck out OF the bugs that otherwise
would be guilty Of destroying food
crops and things.
Cordial entente" explained simply,
is a hearty understanding between
the boys and the girls on one side
and the birds on the other The
working agreement is supposed to rest
upon the protection which the young
sters will accord the birds, and in
return for that protection the birds
are supposed to do most of the work.
The boys and girls will do all and
sundTy things to help the birds along
but it will not be necessary for them
to find and point out the bugs to
the birds. They are expected to keep
cats in check and prevent them iron
aSSaulting and Staying the birds; to
protect the birds nests from de-
Structicn; to provide lofts in which
the birds may nest if they so elect;
to see that watering places are pro-
vided for the birds, and in other
words assist in increasing the bird
population. ~
Selection of the word cordial" was,
it is pointed out, happy one.
Cordial" according to Webster,
means proceeding from the heart" !"
It is an old saying, "the way to
Douglas daily dispatch., 1928-03-15

reach mans heart is through his
stomach" and the idea back of tho
great battle, the zero hour for which
is Friday, April 13, is predicated on
the fact that unless the boys and
girls wage this fight against the
bugs the pests will make food scarce
Come to thing about it, they accuse
Eve OF having reached Adams heart
through his stomach bv use Of an
apple core. 1t is not related whether
bugs got all but Na core OF the
apple, however.
One division OF the boys and girls
section OF the entente army will
operate, it is understood, independ-
emily of the birds That is the
division that storms the castle Of all
and sundry bugs that might be dis
covered within the walls or the homo,
as in the bedroom, perchance In
making such attacks the boys and
girls will not wait upon action by
their ally, the birds, but will attack
with vigor and do to death all such
bugs, as the birds will not pe ex
pected to invade homes Tor their
share OF the work is destroying the
bugs.
This being spring OF the year and
thus encouraged by the governors
message to protect and encourage the
birds to come to live in the trees
and about the parks, the boys and
girls will no doubt erect bird houses
fit up the fountains for the birds
and do everything possible to en-
courage bird life both for the joy
the birds bring and for their aid in
fighting the bugs.

PALMER URGES UNITED SUPPORT
FOR BOY SCOUT BAND AS CIVIC
ASSET AND WORTHY UNDERTAKING

which will be held in Bisbee the
latter part CT this month and Palmer
and the other leaders and directors
of the band want all the instruments
and uniforms ready for this appear
ance.
Tt is the plan OF the officials behind
the band TO take the boys to Phoenix
during the latter part of April to
appear and play at the Shriners
convention. This will be the second
important public appearance on the
spring program. 1t is pointed out
that the appearance OF this Cand.
made up entirely OF boy scouts all
from Douglas and all young boys, who
play remarkably well, is going to
create comment and be an advertise
ment and an asset to the community.
If the boys are properly uniformed
and have been instructed and dis
ciplined so that they make a snappy
appearance the effect is that much
more worth while. The drive for
funds for the carrying on of the
boy scout program for Douglas has
nothing to do with the band and
no money from the regular program
funds will go toward the support OF
the band. The band was organized
primarily for the purpose Of boosting
scouting and the rule is that the
boosters should not depend OH the
parent organization Tor support.

CITY ORDERS SALE OF HORSE
THAT TRUSTS ALL MEN; FACES
CHANGE THAT MAY BREAK FAITH

Street Commissioner W. j. Reay
was authorized by the mayor and com
mon council in session Monday eve
ming, to sell two horses that are the
property of the city street department
and "for which the city has no further
use" An inspection of the city stables
carried out Wednesday morning By
newspapermen disclosed the two horses
in question ctrolling about the big
corral unattended
The two horses answer to the names
of Scott and Mutt. They were in a
good humor yesterday in spite of the
dust that blew over the corral, and
Mutt, who is not as dumb as his name
might imply, greeted the reporters
graciously and followed them about
the corral. He nipped playfully at
their hands as they felt him over and
displayed every sign of pleasure and
good fellowship.
Mutt is a dark brown gelding stand
ing more than II hands high. He is
not fat at present but is still in pass
able conditions and weights 100
pounds In other words Mutt is a
whale of horse.
The records at the city stables show
that Mutt has worked faithfully for
the city ever since he was young. He
was purchased when he was four years
old. Mutt has never been sick, has
caused no trouble, has been willing
worker and friend to everyone he has
met.
Scott, a black gelding, the same age
and size as Mutt, is r. much more
beautiful formed horse but lacks The
intelligence that is apparent in every
action of the brown animal. Scott
has been good horse and has worked
hard but does not make friends, as
Mutt does. Both horses have become
slightly stiff from the steady pulling
on the hard city streets.
The horses that man has bred up
are not always properly proportioned
and these big horses have hoofs that
are very hard to care for. The horses
have worked for the city for ten years.
They have had Sundays and holidays
off and some days have had less work
than others, but they have hauled the
Sprinkling wagons that water the
streets, dragged the scrapers and plows
that max. the unpaved streets smooth,
pulled the wagons hauling off rubbish
and generally served with the sweat
of their collars, the city, and now the
city has offered them for sale because
the city has no further use for them" "
The superintendent of streets has
two saddle horses. He rides about on
his job. RE likes horses. He admires
them and he tries to see that every
city horse is properly cared for and
property used. 1t is the first thought
that strikes one upon meeting John
Bouldin that he would probably dis
charge a workman quicker for beating
horse Than for any other act. Big
Mutt, in his actions, is character wit
ness for John Bouldin and the street
department generally, for he fears no
man and shows that he has never
been struck for he salutes all comerS
with faith that all men will always
treat him fairly as he has been treated
fairly for the past ten years.
1t is the hope of Mr. Bouldin that
