One decided advance that is notice
able this season is that of the use of
the seed drill for the small grains. In
fields in which this tool has been used
an eyener stand and growth of grain
are to be seen than in those in which
the old broadcast seeding method has
been followed. This is merely one of
the evidences of the greater care which
is being exercised in the working of
lands whose value is advancing up to
and above the eighty dollar per acre
level.

A move that can be made in many
sections toward an Improvement of
public highways should consist of cut
ting down d portion of the trees bor-
dering the road, especially where they
are situated on the south or west
sides of the same. They should at least
be so thinned out as to let the sun
shine on to the road for part of the
day. Where this condition cannot be
brought about the question of road
Improvement is made increasingly diff
ficult, If not well nigh impossible.

A friend OF the writer is usually rath-
er slow in blowing his garden, waiting
until settled warm weather comes. It
is noticeable that his garden is very
clean, due quite likely in part to the
fact that a whole lot of weed seeds
terminate and are turned under with
the first blowing. More than this, the
seed that he puts into the warm, mel
low soil usually comes on very quickly
and his stuff by midsummer is often as
advanced as that of his neighbor's
which was planted two or three weeks
earlier

Geraniums. like boys, are often. the
better off for an outdoor summer vaca-
ton Prune them back (the gerani-
ums) considerably, remove from the
pots and put them in garden spot
where they will get good deal of sun
shine. Before setting in the ground
put a good shovelful of rotten manure
beneath each plant, and during the
drier weather see that they set plenty
of water If this course is slowed it
will mean lots of bloom in late sum-
mer and good strong plants to pot In
the fall

Some one who is interested not only
in agriculture. but temperance, has fig
ured out that if all of the corn, some
25,000,000 bushels, which is at present
consumed in the manufacture of spir-
ituous liquors We're to be lost-that is,
the market for it destroyed the loss on
each farm which is now devoted to
corn culture would be but a paltry 13
cents an acre. But this seems like
granting more than is necessary, for If
the corn in question were not used in
the manufacture of whisky 1t would
likely be devoted to some purpose
which would bring the grower as gen
erous return.

Water Famine May Cause Beer Famine
In the midst of water famine, Shen.
andoah, Pa, is threatened with a beer
famine as well. For SIX weeks water
service has been maintained but four
hours in twenty-four, and unless rain
brings quick relief the hours of service
will be cut to two. II this is done the
breweries will be obliged to close, as
their output has already been greatly
curtailed. The two big breweries To-
Gated in this town are the biggest users
of water. The electric light and ths
gas companies may also be forced to
close as result of the drought, thus
throwing the town in complete dark
ness.

NEW MEXICO'S TEAM
 DEFEATED BY U. OF A.
Notable Football Game In Albuquer- que--A Tinted Challenge to Phoenix High School.

Tucson, Ariz., Nov. 26.-(Special)- Word has been received here that in the football game today in Albuquer- que between the University of Arizona and the University of New Mexico the Arizona team won by a score of 10 to 5. One touchdown was made by Rice, the left end and one by Rober- son the left half back Arizona twice failed to kick goal but did excellent work during the game in bucking the line.
 The game was an exciting one and was witnessed by a large crowd It is regarded as a notable event in the world of school sports in the south west and is the first trial of strength between these two universities Tue son is jubilant and does not regret a dollar of the eight hundred it cost to send the team to Albuquerque It is hoped that year from today that the New Mexico team will be able to meet the University of Arizona on it's own grounds.
 The Tucson High school also added glory to the local banners today by defeating the Tuscon Indian school team by a score of r to O. The High school would now like to have a try at the Phoenix High school if agree able arrangements can be made.

and gave him little trouble but a few months ago it grew worse and he was taken to New York City by his mother and placed under the care of a specialist. For a time there was hope but it became apparent that nothing could be done to stay the course of the dread disease and he was brought back to Phoenix that his last days might be within the circle of his many friends. He re- turned with his mother only a few days ago, the disease having already advanced until the vital organs were assailed.
 Isadore Melczer was the oldest of four children, three brothers and a sister. He was born in San Fran cisco but has called Phoenix his home for the last ten or fifteen years, ever since the family moved here and Mir Melczer became engaged in busi- ness. Isadore was a graduate of the Phoenix high school and subsequently, attended Stanford university for four years, graduating from the law school. Since then he was employed for some time as assistant bookkeeper in the National Bank of Arizona Had i'll health not Overtaken him it was his intention to enter Columbia law school the coming year.
 He was a very popular young man in the city and deservedly so for no more upright and dependable youth has grown into manhood anywhere, no one in whom there was more uni versal confidence by those who knew him. He was bright, ambitious and industrious. three of the necessary qualifications for success, and in his untimely death there will not only be mourning over the dath of one whom the world will miss. but sin cere sympathy for the bereaved fam fly, on whom the affliction falls with the greatest severity.
 A brother, Ed Melczer, who is now enrolled in Stanford university. was wired to come home and arrived here yesterday morning. The funeral ar engagements have not yet been an- nounced.

 4 man could not have been convict ed of murder in the second degree for a killing under such circumstances and these are the evident circumstances the appearance being strengthened by the first stories of the witnesses for the defense, before the revolver theory was invented.
 From the beginning there seemed a single favorable sign for the defend ant. That was in the character of the jury in respect to age. Young men or men under middle age are supposed to take more lenient view of such things
