the members of the senior class to the

Harold Austin, president of the senior
r-lass. Mr. Van Petten rendered sev
eral selections and Professor Felton
caused much merriment by his reading.
After the senior class sang their clars
pongs, which were greatly enjoyed, the
greater part of the crowd adjourned to
the gymnasium where dancing was in
dulged in for a couple of hours.

C. B. Grigsby, local agent for the Mc

conference with officers of the com

declaring that no man at present can
tell about cotton prices for next fall,
yet his opinion is that prices will be re

handsome margin of profit to the bal

HOWYUMAROADTO BE
BUILT IS NOT SEnLED-,
DELEGATION RETURNS
The matter of the constructions the ;
Tuina road to connect up with the j
coast huulevard across California is !
still in statu quo, and the big delega
tion that came up Thursday to boost
the matter along have all gone home.
Just where the funds are to come
from is the big question. No one at
temps to deny the desirability of the
building of a real road to Yuma, but
no one has yet suggested a way that
it can be clone, or perhaps it is better
to sav, will be done.
Governor Campbell said yesterday
that he was very much interested in
seeing the Tuma road improved. "Ev
erything will be done," he said, "to
ward getting that road done that can
be done consistently, when the rights
and interests of other portions of the
state are taken into consideration."
State Engineer Maddox made a
statement in relation to the matter.
He said: "To give Yuma what she asks
for would be unfair to the rest of the
state. She contributes $20,009 to the
state tax fund per year, yet she wants
nearly a million spent there. She pro
poses to put up, out of her bond issue,
only 15 per cent of the money she
wants spent on this road. On the
through highway she desires to put
up $150,000 and secure from the state
and federal aid money some $70U,uuo.
It can't be done.
"How much of your federal aid
money are you willing to put up to
build the road to Yuma." was the
question asked yesterday of Chairman
E. Hackett of the county highway
commission. "What I would be will
ing to nut ira and what the county
w'ould be willing to are two different
matters," replied Mr. Hackett. "We
of the commission are willing to go a
long way, we want the road and we
feel that the people of Maricopa
want it. but there are numerous rea
sons whv I can not answer that ques
tion One reason is that I do not know
what the people of the county want to
do about it, and another is that we do
not know yet how much federal aid
we will get. One thing is certain, we
cannot build that road out of county
funds, -they are voted for a specuie
purpose, and it was not to build a road
to Yuma.

(St. Louis Post-Dispatch)
WASHINGTON For the first time,
the war department made available the
other day the number of suicides and
executions in the American army, at
home and abroad. In the casualty lists
these figures are concealed under the
heading, "Deaths from accident and
other causes."
An official statement by the surgeon
general covering the period from July
1, 1917, to May 1, 1919, shows that there
have been a total of 181 authenticated
cases of suicide, 154 among enlisted
men and 27 among officers, in the
American expeditionary forces.
It is expected that publication of
these figures, which are regarded as
remarkably low in view of the motional
stress occasioned by war, will quiet
rumors that a large number of soldiers
took their own lives.
The army suicide rate is, in fact,
lower than the civilian rate for the
whole population and still lower than
tho rate for males of the age group
20 to 29 the group most nearly com
parable with that which formed the
great bulk of the army. As estimated
by the census bureau, the suicide rate
for all ages and both sexes in the
United States in 1916 was 11.2 in every
100,000 of population. Practically one
death of every 100 was bv suicide. In
the same year the suicide rate among
males from 20 to 29 years of age was
15.7 per 100,000.
On the basis of 181 suicides among
2,000,000 soldiers who went abroad, the
.suicide rate for the expeditionary
ff.rees of the army was 9.5 in every
100,000.
Exaggerated stories have gone over
the country about the number of men
executed abroad. Wild tales have been
told of men taken out at sunrise and
shot for desertion or other military
offenses.
Records in the office of the judge
advocate general disclose that during
the entire iife of the A. E. F. there
have been but six executions of sol
diers abroad, and not a one of them
was a military offense. One man was
I ut to death for murder and five for
-. rimes against women.
Rumors of firing squads vanish be
fore the official information that all
rr most of these men were executed
by hanging.

Wallace Reid in ''Less than Kin" and
a Sunshine comedy "Choose Your Exit"

Majestic. At the Orpheum "Ashes or'
Love" will be shown.
Sells 80 Acres of Land
Leo Lesueur has disposed of SO acre3
of land on the Transmission road at
$400 per acre. This figure, while it
gives a nice profit to Mr. Lesueur, rep
resents a fair price for good cotton
land through this section. With a fav
orable crop, the general estimate is
that $500 land will be a common sight
within the near future.

COLLECTED FOR KISSES
fillip
A cup of fine rich tea,
full of the real tea-flavor,
costs less than a cup of
common tea a pound
makes so many more cups.
Now this is either so or
not so; and you can prove
it at our expense.
Get Schilling Tea at
your grocer's. Serve it a
half-dozen times. If. you
don't find it's the fine
economical tea we say it
is, tell your grocer "I want
my money back" and then
use the rest of the tea.
There are four flavors of Schilling
Tea Japan, Ceylon - India, Oolong,
English Breakfast. All one quality. In

At grocers everywhere.
i Schilling & Co San Francisco
Kisses at the rate of 400 for a cent
are cheap enough, provided, of course,
the quality is anywhere near a passable
standard. But when it comes to pay
ing for a billion of them at that rate
and all in one installment well, that's
something else again, as Mr. Perlmut
ter would say.-
Miss Frances Goldstein, a music
teacher in New York, said in letters
that she sent a billion kisses to Fred
erick Harvey Speare, an actor and hus
band of Mrs. Anna Speare. a physician.
Doctor Speare sued Miss Goldstein for
$25,000 on a charge of alienating tho ;
affections of her husband and the jury, i
which had to listen to a sheaf of the
letters read in court, returned a ver
dict for the full amount asked after
only lu minutes' deliberation.
In one of the letters read to the jury
the music teacher mixed classical mu
sic and spaghetti in a rather miscel
laneous fashion. The letter, addressed
to "My Heart's Darling," ran in part
like this:
"I, have just' played Mendelssohn's
Symphony. If I could fly to you, I
would, and I wish my letters would
only fly to you. Darling, don't laugh.
I am making paghetti. It is so delic
ious. Sweetheart,, I wish you were
here with me. You would love it be
cause it is highly seasoned and we
have lots of cheese. Oh, sweetheart,
how beautiful that Italian symphony
is. The first thing I do when 1 awajce
is to run down into the parlor and
play it in the morning. .It is so plain
tive, so pathetic and so simple. How
I feel when I think of that morning
when I watched you go away on the
train. I stood there in a dream after
you were gone and then came tears,
hot tears. I could not calm myself."
Another letter told of a concert thg
writer had attended, and concluded:
"Darling, why can't I share all these
things with you? I am in heaven when
I am listening to all this music, but I
want to hold your hand and feel that
you are near me. Then it is that I
realize you are so far away. Next
week, the opera will begin and I will
long so much for you. Oh. my love, I'
am thankful we are to be together
again never to part, sweetheart. With
a billion kisses and air my love."
"I just love you only and believe so
in you! I just adore you and no one
else," she w7rote in another letter. "I
have told my mother that I love you
and that no one can do anything to
change me."
Donald Willard of Cottonwood, Arizo- ;
na, formerly of Phoenix, and Miss Ruth
Yates, of Sedalia, Missouri, formerly '
of Arizona, were married in Sedalia '
Missouri on Tuesday. June 17.
These young people were graduates
with the 1916 cass of the Phoenix High
school and of the 1918 class at the
Tempe Normal school. Mr. Willard "has
since been engaged in ranching at Cot- '
towood, and Miss Yates has been teach-
ing school in Missouri.
By a reference to the annual of the
Phoenix High school for the year 1916
it may be observed that the class
prophetess for that year, Miss Norma j
Brazee, is now proven to have spoken j
truly in her prophetic forecast, in this ;
one instance, at least. The Willard
Yates wedding was clearly forecast and j
that, too, before those young people
were more than passingly acquainted.
The wedding took place at the home
of the bride in Sedalia, Missouri, the
father of the bride, Rev. J. F. Y'ates,
performing the ceremony.

THE SALVATION ARMY
his verses on General Booth entering
heaven, which startled a dinner of
poetasters in aesthetic Chicago. - Now
comes- Cardinal Gibbons, praising the
Salvation Army because of its service
to soldiers and sailors at the front.
and because it is "free from sectarian
bias." "The man in need of help is
the object of their effort," writes th"
prelate, "with never a question of his
creed or color." That comes near the
secret of the army's popularity.
(New York Post)
What is there about the Salvation
Army that attracts good feeling from
so many unexpected quarters? Long
ago, measuring time by change instead
of years, Edward Sheldon wrote his
"Salvation Nell." Bernard Shaw his
