The affair was marked by the gaiety, of the gathering, the excellent music and the spirit of fraternalship which it tended to promote. Although the weather was disagreeable and a cold drizzling rain continued throughout the evening the crowd began to arrive early and eoon forgot the unpleasant elements in the flood of light, the riot of decorations and the enticement of the music. As the ball was Invitational for Elks and immediate friends the num-bcrjiresent exceeded all expectations.

The followlna report of the Jong staple cotton market hat been received by The Republican frow A. A. Talmege, cotton expert vvith the New Bedford, Mass, Standard: "Very little cotton moving, but active interest in prices, with extra staples up half cent te cent a pound in asking price.

Mrs. Earnest Woods of Tucson, and Mrs. Lee Kumber of Phoenix were guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W.

Daniels last week. Mr. Myers of Temp has moved to the old Rhoner place. While one of our residents was attending church Sunday night the motormeter was taken off his car together with those from other cars at the same church. This particular motermeter was found in a stove in the room occupied by a couple of boys suspected of many other crimes and will doubtless prove their undoing.

The entire community was shocked to hear of the sudden death of W. H. Clera of pneumonia last week. Mrs. Clem was' an active member of Al-hambra, Neighborhood club ana by her musical talents was an Invaluable aid in the programs and it was out of respect for her and her bereavement that the box social- was postponed Wednesday evening.

Mr. E. E. Clem, brother of the deceased, from Fort Morgan, Colorado, arrived in Phoenix last Thursday to complete funeral arrangements. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon after which Mr.

Clem accompanied the body to the old home at Fort Morgan, Colorado, for burial. Mrs. Clem will remain, in Phoenix for a few weeks to wind up her affairs after which she does not know where she will go. Mr. and Mrs.

2S, for the purpose of selecting a building site for the proposed high school. It la understood that a number of sites will be offered for bidding or electing, but none have been announced yet. The plat ot each site and the price will be posted at the school house Saturday morning, so that the voter will have ample time to consider them carefully before deciding which is the best location for the price 'asked for it. The apparent need of a high school building was again demonstrated when it was necessary to rent the dance hall belonging to John Rose for a school room for some of the Mexican children, and the rooms are still crowded. A touring car driven by Mercer Wilson of the Arcadia district going south Sunday night on the Paradise road ran into a buggy driven "by a Mexican woman and the Impact killed the horse and seriously Injured the woman.

The woman was taken to the hospital In Phoenix, where at last report the extent ot her injuries was not learned, but it is known that she was suffering from internal injuries. There was another woman and a man and child in the buggy, but they were only slightly bruised by the collision. Will Miller and Cecil Emmery were in the car driven by Wilson and all stated that the accident was unavoidable, for they did not see the buggy until almost to it due to the fact that it carried no rear light and was on the side ot the road. The car was badly wrecked and the frame broken. The week-end was a rabbit's foot for the Scottsdale Blues ball team.

On Friday they played the high school and heat them, 10 to in aj fast game.

T. pitching for Curtis in the fifth, allowed tfiA town boys their first runs and several bad plays in the seventh permitted, them to run the score to 10. The Blues defeated the Indians, to 1, Sunday in a slow game with neither aider hitting much, although two of the towns atay-ers made home runs.

Miss Krallman was driving-her car through town Saturday and did, not notice that the road in front'of" the drug store was blocked with cars parking in all directions until she was almost to them, and to avoid an accident turned the cur into Mrs. Sidel's fence, when It came to a halt. No harm was done except breaking down soma fence. This accident should call the attention ot the proper authorities to the way cars are parked in town and some regulation sliould be made for proper parking before soma serious accident results from the present method. The Scottsdale Woman's club will meet at the home of Mrs.

Y. V. Wite Saturday. Feb. 25.

All members, are requested to be present and to invite any women who might be interested in joining the local woman's club. Mr. and Mrs. W. F.

The hustler is Obed Kloiter, a carrier lor The Republican, who by his great work has achieved the enviable record having secured more tnan 1,000 new subscriptions for the paper during the year 1921.

This great record was accomplished in the face of two handicaps. The route covered by Obed has long been considered one ot the hardest of all. aud then this hustling young man has been in the employ of The Republican only a little more than a year. But routes with difficult reputation meant nothing to Obed and he started out. A contest bad been started by that time and the other carrier boys began to turn in new orders to their credit.

Obed somehow couldn't get any orders. Xo matter how hard he worked, the orders just wouldn't come. But in a short time Obed suddenly took a start and the way his new orders poured in was as big a surprise to him as to his employer. Between April. 1921.

and January, 1922, he has secured more than 1,000 new orders.

Feb. 10 George H. Maxwell, executive director of the National Reclamation association, spoke in Bouse Sunday evening to an intensely interested audience on the control and development of the Colorado river. The meeting was in charge of the Commercial club, and the speaker was introduced by Robert H. Williams, who with a corps ot engineers, accompanied Mr.

Maxwell to the Lotus valley from Phoenix last Thursday. Mr. Maxwell spoke at length on the necessity ot every Arizonian being wide awake at this time and urged that the right of this state to half of the standardized flow ot the Colorado river be Insisted upon. He said that a few coints should be kept in mind by those who are looking ahead to the future development of Arizona. First, that the Glen canyen dam for nower, by whomsoever built: that Boulder dam project: that this state should have one-half of the standardized flow or the river: that this water be carried to 2,500,000 acres of land through a high line canal.

He asked the audience to contrast the benefits to be derived from such a program with the plan that calls for a dam at Boulder canyon to be 609 feet high with the water taken out at the bottom of the dam through power plants and sent on down the river bed whereby it would only be possible for Arizona to reclaim something like 400.000 acres. The bulk of the water tinder this plan would go on down to Mexico, where American speculators hold great tracts ot land and this land would be irrigated with this water if this flow line canal is mean a canal 400 miles long and would serve to reclaim only 400,000 acres in our country. He called upon Engineer Robert H. Williams who he said had first worked out the. plan of the high line canal, to explain his map showing a profile view of the canal with the various cuts and fills which be necessary.

Mr. Williams briefly outlined the map and Mr. Maxwell said that if the high line canal plan, as outlined by Engineer Williams, is carried through, there will be water available from the Colorado river to water 2.500,000 acres of Arizona land. He explained that the plan was to talko one-half of the water of the river out at Boulder canyon, at an elevation of 1.275 feet, through the El Dorado cutoff, and reach the bench about 600 feet above the river, following approximately the 1.230 foot contour to the southern end ot the Lotus valley, where it may be necesary to make a deep cut or perhaps a tunnel for about 10 miles, to the Centennial wash. There the canal will be divided into several smaller canels and taken to its different fields.

This plan calls for about 200 miles of main canals, with an expense which is very moderate for the amount of land to be reclaimed. The short cut to the Centennial wash is the only part of the possible canal route which is as yet undetermined, and it is for the purpose ot making these surveys that a corps is now in the field. The work is being done by the Willams Engineering company of Phoenix and is in charge of Robert H. Williams. While in Bouse Mr.

Maxwell was the guest the Commercial club. He returned to Phoenix Monday morning. FRED MM TO TRAVEL IN ORIENT Fred Colter, prominent Arizona stockman and land owner and Democratic candidate for governor in the campaign of 191S, expects to leave shortly on an extended vacation trip which will take in all the important points Of the Orient apd which is planned to cover a. period of eight months or more. The tour is arranged as a combination of pleasure and study.

Mr. Colter expecting to wander leisurely through the countries interesting to him, observing the customs of the people and compiling certain data which will be ot use to him later on. Leaving San Francisco within the next two weeks he will stop first at Honolulu, where he will spend as long a time as will be necessary for him to get acquainted with Hawaiian customs. Next he will take in the Philippine Islands and then China, Japan, India and the Holy Land, where he will stop In all the important cities. If the time allotted is found not to be sufficient to visit all the countries planned it will be extended.

Mr. Colter has been identified with the political life of Arizona since territorial days, having served as a member of the constitutional convention and later as state senator from this district. His home is at Colter-ville, but he is well known in Phoenix. 5K A A AND CUT KA If ever there was a case of "penny wise, pound foolish," it is when a man goes price-shopping for a battery. There is only one way to economize on a battery, and that is by buying the best obtainable.

The difference in original price between an Ezide and the cheapest battery is nothing compared with what you save on the Exide in longer life and freedom from repairs. And the inconvenience you suffer from an ineffective battery can take most of the joy out of motoring. Don't deny yourself the satisfaction you will get from owning an Exide. Yo owe it to your temper and your pocketbook to have a battery that will give uninterrupted service for a long time. You will find such a battery at the nearest Exide Service Station.
