One More for Arizona.

The newest Phoenix enterprise
and one that bids fair to be a
leading industry in the state is
that of the new soap company
just organized there, and as the
Republican says:
''The company is now operat-
ing a soap factory capable of an
output of 1000 boxes of three
cakes each per day, of a toilet
soap that in all ways is an Ariz-
ona product. The story thereto
goes back several years ago,
when S. S. Green, one of the in
corporators, was prospecting for
oil in the hills about fifty miles
north of Phoenix. Then he
fond this deposit which is being
used in the manufacture of this
soap.
1t is claimed for this deposit
that it has great medicinal value
for the skin, and will cure a
number of skin diseases. In fact,
the claim is made that thorough
tests have been made and proofs
obtained as to the claim. -
Which just proves Arizona in
all respects to be one of the rich
est states in the United States,
and with development oppor-
tunities unlimited.

FUTURE OF THE
STOCK INDUSTRY

There seems to be a very gen
eral opinion among authorities
on the matter that the price of
beef will never again be much
lower than it is at the present
time. The free range grows
narrower year by year, and the
consumption of the beef constant
ly increases, so it seems that no
thing except a movement by
which great masses of people
would quit eating meat could
bring the prices much lower than
they are at the present time,
and they are now higher than
they have been for years. 1t
seems certain that the meat trust
held the price down on the meat
they bought as long as they
could. Finally the price got be-
yOnd their control and it went
up 1t is not likely to drop again
This country is naturally a for
age country. With the free range
taken up, it seems that furthur
expansion of the cattle business
must come through the produc-
ton of feed by cultivation. Just
little feed at just the right

dent, would increase the number

will be held at Tuscon on Jan.

Sam B. Bradner, secretary OF
the association, states that more
members are expected to be add
ed to the roster of the associa-
alton before that time and it is
likely that the convention will
bring at least a thousand visitors
to Tuscon for the two days OF
the convention.
Charles P. Mullen of this city
is president of the association.
The secretary, Mr.. Bradner, who
is also secretary of the livestock
sanitary board is also located in
this city at the present time.
The place of meeting was decid-
ed upon by the executive COM
mittee.
1t is early yet to make plans
for the entertainment of the
cattlemen, but Secretary Myers
of the Tuscon Chamber of Com
merce will keep the matter in
mind and when the Southern

plans will be made.
Secretary Myers stated that

The ABSURDITY
OF A SHORTAGE

'The United States should be
engaged in restoring it's own beef
supply instead of looking to other
countries to replenish it," was
the remark made by a leading
British market man now in
America when questioned as to
what affect the free admission of
Argentina and Australian pro-
duct would have on domestic pro-
duction. What strikes me most
forcibly,' he added, is the alb
surdity of the present situation.
Cattle raising possibilities in
North America are illiminatable
and the United States should be
an exporter instead of facing a
dearth for domestic consump-
ton.
This opinion was delivered by
Isaac M. Hodgkinson, of London,
an extensive English flesher and
manager of the Armour interests
in Great Britain, says ]. E. Pool
in Breeders Gazett. His conten-
tention that if domestic produc-
ton capacity has taken advan-
tage of any existing shortage
would speedily be eliminating is
logical and his opiniou that for
eign beef will not be able to
compete with the domestic arti-
Gle provided the later commodity
is reasonable in price is that of
one who knows the trade from
all it's angles. Present beef short
age has undoubtedly been due
largely to fortuitous circumstan-
ces and only confidence in the fu-
ture of the industry is needed to
repair it. Mr. Hodgkinson
points out that there is only a
difference of about 2 cents per
pound between good domestic
and average Argentina beef,
on a laid down at New York ba-
sis. He asserts that this dispar-
ity practically appraises the diff
ference in quality.
1t is the judgement of this
British authority that free beef
will not only be of no menace to
to the American cattle industry,
but that increased domestic pro-
duction will exclude foreign beef
unless Argentine cattle values
depreciate very materially, which
is improbable. Mr.. Hodgkinson's
views coinside with those recent
ly voiced by John Cloy and ought
to prove reassuring to the dubious

FOREST INSECT
RAVACES STOPPED

By prompt campaign against a
fiourishing colony of bark beetles
on the Ochoco national forest in
central Oregon, the government
is eliminating a danger which
threatened to destroy millions of
feet of timber.
Some authorities claim that
the amount of timber killed each
year by insects is equalled only
by the animal loss from forest
fires. Among the most destruc-
tive of these insect enemies are
the bark beetles, one of which,
the mountain pine beetle, is res
ponsible for most of the damage
on the Ochoco forest. This dead
ly little beetle is less than a
quarter of an inch in length, but
bears the ponderous scientific
name of Dendroctonus Monticello
Hopk, which, being interpreted,
signifies killer of the mountain
pine tree, discovered by Hopkins.
It's method of operation are in
teresting. The mature BEETLE
bores through the bark and in
the outer surface of the wood.
When Matched each young larva,
or beetle-grub, channels into this
growing portion of the trunk,
feeding upon the inner bark.
When full grown the larva, after
passing through a dormant, or
pupal stage, becomes a beetle.
This beetle then drills out through
the bark in July, and, emerging
into the world seeks fresh tree
and starts a new generation.
In fighting this forest scourge.
the method recommended by the
Bureau of Entomology is followed.

TIME SHORT IN Which
TO MAKE NOMINATIONS

The necessity for promptly sending
in of the names of candidates for the
Constitutional Convention Is being I'M
pressed on all of the parish committee
chairmen by Alvin Hebert, secretary
of state.
With the utmost promptness and
dispatch on the part OF the parish
committee chairmen it will then be
difficult for the secretary OF state to
arrange his ballots, have the tickets
printed by the state printer and dis
tributed throughout the state for the
primary election on Oct. ID
The time for nominations will close
on Oct. 8. The bill as originally drawn
provided for the closing of the nomina-
lions on Oct. 6, but the secretary of
state found it was impossible to close
the nominations on that date and get
the ballots printed in time. The date
was, therefore, moved up three days.
AS the law now stands it is going to
be an all-day and night Job to get the
tickets out, and for this reason dis
patch in sending in the names Of the
candidates will be necessary

COURT TO DECIDE ON
BANKING QUESTIONS

The affairs of the Feliciana Bank &
Trust Co., which recently suspended,
will reach the courts, Monday, when
attorneys for Baton Rouge bank will
ask the Court to make a ruling to de-
termine the liability in regard to GER
tain checks that were drawn by the
depositors in favor Of their creditors.
1t appears that shortly before the bank
suspended local parties had RENTED
to business associations by means OF
checks drawn on the Feliciana Bank &
Trust Co. The checks were in turn de-
posted by their recipients and placed
in other banks for collection which in
turn sent them to this bank for pay
ment. In paying these checks this
bank forwarded exchange on it's cor
respondent in New Orleans which
was not honored, as the bank at
this place was then in the hands OF the
State Bank Examiner. 1t is this con-
flict of interests which the Court will
be asked to straighten out. II the
court holds that the liability is on the
part of the drawer of the check the
Bank Examiner will be asked to re-
turn the respective checks which are
thus involved, and if the Court holds
that the liability is on the part of this
bank the parties now holding this ex-
change will be considered in the same
Hight as that of a deposition. In the
meantime, until this question is finally
decided, it will not be possible for the
special agent to balance any of the
pass books, as it may be possible that
some of them will have to be returned
