MANY NocALEs PEOPLE COULD CARE
 FOR EARTHQUAKE WAITS.
Men Discussing Matter Count Thirty Nine Couples With No Little
 Ones to Bless Homes.

Thirty-nine well-to-do married couples in this little border burg who have no babes in whose misty future fond parents might see visions Of the White House or the Senate.
 Thirtv-nine comfortable homes in which the prattle of the little one is never heard, and all in a little village of less than three thousand people all told.
 Room for about a carload of the earthquake waifs of whom so much k printed these bright May days.
 The figures here given are not the result of a careful house to house canvas. They are merely the result of a discussion of the baby question indulged in by d number Nogales gentlemen q few days ago.
 In enumerating the couples of their acquaintance who have com fortable homes and no children, one of the gentlemen took a sheet of paper and began to write the names IS he remembered them and as the others mentioned those they could rccollect 1t the time. The result Of few minutes writing showed the names of thirty-nine couples in Nogales who are child less. Some of the men engaged in the conversation were heads of such families" and immediately after the conversation one of them went to his office and wrote let ter to the officials at San Francis co, applying for one of the waifs. Should his letter be prolific of re- suits, 1t wilt be a fortunate waif that falls into his care.
 But despite the unusually large number of childless homes in No gales. the line city is not behind other towns in the number of child residents The stork does not give the town the go by.n Not by any means But there is mark ed difference between the stork and lightning. Instances can be cited wherein the sacred bird has struck in the same place with great frequency, right here in Nogales. He has not been at all impartial in the distribution of his favors, and for that reason there are many who have never rocked cradle and there are those who now manipulate the rockers with their feet, while their arms are full of little ones who were crowded out of the cradle a few months too soon.
 But the stork seems not to mind the little discrepancies that are pointed out. On bright, sunshiny days, especially at this season of the year, he may be seen soaring about and casting smiling glances at number of homes in which in the past he has found welcome And he seems not to notice the thirty-nine families" in which all the members are grown up.

preme court of the United States
today arguments in the case of the
government against Falk and Bros,

ed The question the court has TO
determine is whether imported to-
bacco is duitable on the basis of its
weight when it enters or when il is
withdrawn from warehouses. The de-
cision Of the circuit court Of appeals
was that the duty should be paid on
the weight at withdrawal and II is
estimated that under his ruling the
treasury would suffer loss of a mil
lion dollars a year on tobacco, TO
say nothing of the loss on other ar
ticles TO which the principle would
apply il held applicable TO tobacco.
There are now on file in the Offices

age yield per acre is given at 1925
bushels against 81 last year. This
