The peculiarity of the Turks is at once apparent when we observe that their history is almost exclusively a catalogue of names and battles. HAYDEN, Dec. IS. Mrs. C. A. Ben nett, Mrs. T. H. Oxnam.

Fourteen boys of Hayden. ringing in age from 10 to 14 years went to Wink leman recenHy and took IS pigs belong ing to the Pioneer Meat market. Eight of the boys appeared before the au thorities and six did not. Since the boys are under IS years of age, the case was referred to the 'juvenile court of Gila county at Globe. The penalty for stealing hogs in Ar izona is a term in the penitentiary. For boys under IS, the penalty would be a sentence to the reform school, provid ing the court sees fit to impose the sentence. Some of the boys doubtless did not realize the gravity of their of- tense. but two or three have been im- ! plicated in similar cases before and j should have recognized what they were j doing. t Mrs. Mary Patton received word j Sunday that her son, Edgar M. Patton j has arrived in San Francisco after 17 j months spent in a voyage to Australia, China and the Mediterranean. He ex- j pects to arrive in Hayden soon.

Hanchett, division- al lecturer for the Theosophical Sociely j will give ,a free public lecture at Tho School Administration Bldg., 33 N. 1st Ave., under the auspices of the Phoenix Theosophical Society on the subject. "The Joy of Theosophy." Mr. Hanchett is a man of interesting personality and nature, combining, as he does, the soul of a mystic, poet and philosopher with that of a practical lawyer and business man. He was for merly for six years assistant Unitel States attorney at Chicago. 111., and at one time had an extensive law practice. He is now devoting himself to the lec ture field and liteiarv work. He pub lished, in 1915, "The Song of a Datvu ing Day." In his lecture. Mr. Hanchett will give the synthetic system of truth taught by Theosophy which, he says, solves the riddle of the universe and shows tho meaning and value of life. The Gre-i-World War he will mark as one of tlv world's transitional periods between an old and a new- era. He believes that the war was the inevitable effect of th extremes into which an individualisti-: and irreligious age of selfish strife and crushing competition had plunged mankind A more beautiful and broth erly age is now. dawning. The lecturer will endeavor to show why there is n; need for fear or worry, but rather cause for optimism, when life and events are viewed in the broad light of evolution.
