SECOND
OFII
OF
ISA TO
QUIT
MESA, July 17. At the regular meet
In? nf the city council held last night.
W. 1'. Gollahcr tendered his resigna
tion, thus making the second of the
city officials to resisn. Some days ago
City Clerk McDonald took the step
mentioned, but his resignation was
not at the time acted on, the council
explaining that it would first be in or
der to audit the books and have the
budget for the coining year made up.
This action was accepted by the clerk,
who stated that he would be willing to
serve so long as it should be necessary
until the council could decide upon a
successor.
No action was taken at the meeting
on the Gollaher resignation.
The changes in the personnel of the
city force Is brought about by the fact
that it is the wish of the council to
bring the three city utilities the wat
er, gas and electric plants all under
one manager, who should be city clerk
and at the same time be an experienced
electrical engineer. Some one who
would have no clerical work to per
form, but would act as a city.managei
insofar as the three utilities are con
cerned, subject, of course, to the di
rection of the council. (Jollaher has
been water superintendent for seven
years and has brought the plant to a
high state of efficiency and the council
has no complaint as to his ability In
this line.
Mesa Soldier Receives Promotion.
Word was received yesterday that
Captain J. K. Noble had been promoted
o the rank of major. The officer was
captain of Mesa Company D of the
national guard, and with his company
gpent a year on the border, afterward
being detailed to guard the Salt River
Valley water project. He has been at
Camp Kearny for a number of months,
and an article in Sunday's Los Angeles
Times speaks in complimentary terms
of his handling of the men under his
care. That he has made good is evi
denced by the promotion. "
Major Noble is a son of Benjamin
Xoble of this place and has a number
of relatives living here.
brought about by the scarcity of houses
in town. The members of the council
appear to be of opinion that such a
lease would practically amount to a
donation of the land, and that unless
the property owners at large should
unite in asking the lease, they will
hesitate to grant it. The land was in
tended as a city park, but has been in
use by the school and under the direc
tion of Professor Johnson of the agri
cultural department, now of Phoenix
high school, a nice orchard was started
on the tract. Meanwhile, Superintend
ent Matthews and family are domiciled
in the basement of the high school.
Mesa Colored Man Called to Colors.
Yesterday morning's Republican
gave the name of Jim Harris as being
sent to a training camp, being trans
ferred to Maricopa county from Bar
stow, Texas. Harris and his wife are
hard working people and have made
friends for themselves by their quiet,
respectful demeanor, since coming to
Mesa. The man was two years over
the draft age, but only found out thts
fact after registering in Texas, so was
told that he was too late, unless he
could bring positive proof to bear at
once. Not being greatly averse to
fighting for his country, Harris de
cided not to make any further effort
toward exemption.
Council Asked for 99 Year Lease.
The Mesa school hoard has asked of
the city council a 99 year lease of a
portion of the west half of the block
on which the high school Is located, to
e used for the purpose of erecting a
"esidence for the superintendent of
the city schools. This request was
Are You Paying Up on Your Pledges?
Mrs. W. R. Stewart, who is in charge
of the checking up on payments of
thrift stamp pledges, reports that the
payments are coming in slowly. It may
be that the people are buying the thrift
stamps and baby bonds as they have
signed up to do, but thus far have failed
to report their purchases. The proper
plan is to make report each month to
Mrs. Stewart, so that the reuord of re-
reipts may be kept clear. She may be
found in the Stewart realty office, the
major portion of each day.

TEMPE. July IT. The Christian
church building is being demolished in
order to make room for the erection
of a splendid new place of worship.
This part of the work will be complet
ed today and' the foundation for the
new building started at once. Con
tractor J. C. Steele, who has just com
pleted the new flour mill, will have
charge of the construction of the
church. Work will be pushed as rap
idly as possible so that the congrega
tion may meet for worship at the
earliest possible date in the fall. Dur
ing the interim the congregation will
meet every Sunday for worship, and
announcement will be made later of
the place.
The new building has been designed
to meet the requirements of modern
ideas of religious education and that
feature of the church work will be
stressed, rather than the idea of an au
ditorium for public gatherings. It will
be of brick and pebble dashed and will
be 88 feet front, facing on Eighth
street. There will be separate depart
mental divisions to accommodate a
completely graded Bible school, with
provisions for social gatherings and
special work.
tor twelve years the congregation
has been worshipping in the tabernacle
where under the leadership of the pas
tor. Rev. J. R. Rountree. a splendid
aggressive and evangelistic work has
been carried on. It is largely due to
the efforts of this pastor that thn
congregation has reached the point
where a larger building was needed to
carry on its work.

Alfalfa fields arc breeding grounds
for the most destructive cotton pests
in the state. When an alfalfa field is
cut beginning at the side opposite and
working toward a cotton field certain
pests, particularly -rasshoppcrs and
the cotton square stainers, are driven
to the cotton plants and the resulting
damage to the cotton is frequently very
serious.
Grasshopper damage is conspicuous
since these pe.sts when present in large
numbers may completely defoliate the
plants. Usually such severe injury is
confined to a few acres on the side of
the cotton field adjoining an alfalfa
field. Prompt action in spreading pois
oned baits in the heavily infested areas
will check these pests. Directions for
preparing and spreading grasshopper
baits may be secured from the state
entomologist s office.
The most serious damage resulting
from driving insects from alfalfa fields
is done b" a ---11 sucking bug hereto
fore called the tarnished plant bug but
which may more appropriately be
called the cotton square stainer. This
insect sucks the cotton squares, caus
ing them to flare, turn yellowish and
drop off. While feeding on the squares
the insects daub the insides of the
bracts and the flower buo with a yel
lowish liquid excrement which almost
invariably indicates that the square
will soon flare and fall. An average of
two of these bugs to a plant is suffi
cient to prevent the setting any
trolls. AVhcn driven from alfalfa fields
their numbers sometimes average eight
or ten to, a plant.
These bugs are not new. Their in

the past three seasons has been de
scribed bv the state entomologist in
his last three annual reports. The ap
pearance of the insects in excessive
numbers is usually local but each sea
son a few cotton growers suffer heavy
losses. With the greatly increased cot
ton acreage this -ear a proportionally
large number -" growers are interested
means of preventing these losses.
While the pests hve been observed, in
one instance at least, to occur in ex
cessive numbers on cotton growing two
or three miles from alfalfa, as a rule
the most severe infestations are found
where cotton fields adjoin alfalfa fields
and where in cutting the alfalfa the
work has been started on the side of
the fold farthest from the cotton.
On account of both the grasshoppers
and the square stainers alfalfa cutting
should usually be started on the sides
of a field and continued toward the
central land or a land near to it which
should be left temporarily as a trap.
When concentrated in a limited area in
this way the grasshoppers may be
poisoned with poisoned bait or cap
tured bv means of a "hopper dozer." A
modified hopper dozer is being made,
for trial in the hone that it will capture
the cotton square stainers as well as
grasshoppers. Even though no practi
cal means is found for capturing or de
stroying the square stainers after they
have been concentrated on uncut al
falfa in the middle of the field much
benefit will result from the cutting
practice recommended. On the other
hand the practice' of cutting' alfalfa
from the far side of the field working
toward the cotton is very likely to
bring disastrous results to the cotton
grower.

Alice Joyce in New Picture
A mistake in shipment has brought
a big picture to the Columbia. Alice
Joyce, the talented actress, was to have
appeared Tuesday and Wednesday in
"The Triumph ot The Weak" but the
exchange made a mistake and shipped,
"Find the Woman," also starring Al
ice Joyce. This picture is receiving
much favorable comment nom tne
eastern papers and the movie fans will
be glad to learn of the mistake made
which allows them the opportunity of
seeing this eminent star in such a
wonderful production.
"Find the Woman" is a screen adap
tion from "Cherchez la Femme" from
the pen of O. Henry. It is a story of
mystery and suspense, one that holds
interest every minute of the screen
showing. A Finley Nature Picture and
a delightful Keystone comedy. "I Love
Charles Albert," complete a strong
program.
of his subtle theories he strikes several
very ponderous snags which not only
threaten to nullify his teachings but to
engulf him in disaster.
He undertakes to fix the tangled
loves of two beautiful society girls,
who are engaged respectively to two
men they don't wish to marry. In the
adjustment he attempts, Mr. Fixit de
votes his surprising energies to his pet
theory that happiness should be a hab
it communicable to those who arc
without it. In the development, one
surprise after another follows, until
the. comedy is little short of an uproar,
but to disclose the nature of the snags
this unctious chap hits would be to
spoil the best kind of an evening's en
tertainment. ,
He comes up smiling in the end and
his theory is vindicated. With the fea
ture is seen a characteristic Hawaiian
travelogue, "The Beach at AVaikaikii,"
the mecca o lovers of the "Islands."
