THE CORPORATION
 PROBLEM

Another trust case. that of the sO- called Pacific mergers" has come to an end through the acceptance by the court of the plan for dissolution agreed upon by Attorney General McReynolds and President Wilson, Tn this plan, the Democrats have adopted new cor poration Po!icy different from any of those which has previously had their sanction. The Union Pacific is requir- ed by the decree to divest itself of it's 1 large holdings of Southern Pacific stock. The Pennsylvania Company owned a considerable amount of stock. The Pennsylvania Company owned a considerable amount of stock in the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company Under the plan accepted by the Gov arnment and court, the Union Pacific is to trade large amount of it's stock in the Southern Pacific, line which competes with it. to the Pennsylvania, and the Pennsylvania is to give in re- turn it's holdings in the Baltimore and Ohio. Thus the Union Pacific ac- quires a large interest in line which may intimately be connected with it to form a transcontineutal system and the Pennsylvania has open to it the intimate possibility of establishing :. transoontinental system.

MOTORCYCL|STS ARRIVE HERE;
 SHIP MACHINES TO FRISCO

Charles Klaus, riding an Iver John son motorcycle, and F. H. Sellner, on a Flying Merkle arrived in Yuma last evening enoute to San Francisco.
 They left Phoenix, their home, on Monday morning, and made 200 miles to Yuma in less than day and half, which isn't so bad in the good old sum- mer time with the thermometer hoy ering around III.
 MT. Klaus stated that the motors got too hot several times during the trip or much better time could have been made. They rode between rail road tracks to Dome and then took the road. They promise not to do it again, for the railroad roadbed is much better than the regularly travelled road.
 The Iver Johnson machine weighed in at 252 pounds, and the Merkle 299.
 After due consideration, based on their experience from Phoenix to Yuma, the travellers desided to ship their machines on ahead of them and take a Pullman, which they did last night. No doubt the latter way of travelling is easier and some cooler at this time of the year.
 It is just as different travellers feel

That the solution of the Farm la bOr problem in Arizona and other Western states is going to be in the healthy subdivision of the land, not the one-acre men nor the six-acre men, but the ten forty to on-hundred-acre men, who do not have to rely on the nomadic tribes of laborers to cultivate and harvest their crops" is the advice of Barton w. Currie, writing in the COUNTRY GENTLEMAN on Calf ornia and the Japanese.
 The subject is of much more than passing interest to Yuma farmers.
 The ten-to-forty acre subdivision will also mean the success of the irri- gation projects instituted by the Rec lamation Service. Ten to forty acres cultivated and cropped by the owner md his family will. make a community of progress and prosperity.
 A splendid ten acre crop has appared in Arizona where Egyptian long staple cotton can be grown and has attained perfect pn on the lands under the Roosevelt and Laguna Dams. The yield will average bale and quar- ter to the acre or 6,250 pounds of lint cotton to the 10 acres. In 1912 the

cotton sold for 23 to 23A cents per pound in the Eastern Markets netting the farmer 21 to 21A cents per pound. Two good pickers can handle ten acres.
 The picking season lasts 1GO days, commencing early in September. Add another ten acres for twenty acre farm, there can be grown alfalfa, or some other crop with room for houses and barns, chickens, a COW or two and a pasture for horses.
 Opportunities to secure twenty acre farms are none too frequent, and the offer to rent twenty acres under the irrigotion projects now being made by land owners in Arizona should at- tract many people who are looking for la chance to establish home.
 As a solution of the farin problem the ten-to-forty- acre farm will be inn portant, but the ten-toforty acre farm owner must do his own work and do it with profit The opportunity that Egyptian cotton offer to spread the years work over a number of months and give a cash revenue for a big share of the crop is one that might we'll considered by farmers all oyer the country

about it. Many make the trip expect ing to find it rough and are not dis appointed; others seem to feel disap-
 pointed when they find the travelling rough and hot Anyway, it is a re- markable thing that POO miles can be made on a motorcycle in a day and half in July in an open, unsettled country such as lies between here and Phoenix.
 The writer once made the 400 miles from Yuma to Phoenix and return on
 horseback, in July, in just seven days -four days in going, and days com ing back; two days were spent in Phoe-
 nix. It may be truly said that there were no roads then and automobiles
 hadn't yet been seen in Arizona. The
 trip was very pleasant and farme. every 50 miles or so helped to make i,
 more so. But just one trip like that on horseback in July was sufficient to
 satisfy our curiosity to see the lal of the land and our horseback trips
 since then have always been on z
 shorter scale.
 We have the utmost respect for an
 motorcyclist who prefers to travel in Pullman in July.

 And as her dear soul was lowering around the great white throne, the thoughts were continually for the wei fare and happiness of her little grand child, Jimmie, to whom she has been both a father and mother since the child was left an orphan.
 She was one of the sweetest and kindest and purest of women and has left as heritage to her loving daugh- ters and grateful sons, that which IS far more precious than gold-a record of a Christian life in which was blend ed the trinity of love, purity and Right eousness. To her sons and daughters II will say: You have lost your moth CT and best friend, and have lost my best friend and one who did everything that mother could"

PEA GAMERS GIVEN RELIEF
Special Orders Issued Affecting Labor

Madlson.-After two years of costly
attempts to comply with the letter and
spirit of the law limiting hours Of

The pea canning industry of WiscoI-
sin has obtained relief.
During the season, which begins
his week, the Gamers will work un'
der a scientific time schedule APPROX
ed by the industrial commission Of
Wisconsin. The schedule permits a
longer work day when conditions be-
yond human control require extern
Sions of the period of employment.
Heretofore the law has not contained
provisions which recognized sO-called
acts of God, sudden rain storms or
other phenomena beyond human con-
troll. The schedule is based upon in
yestigation carried on during the 1912
season.
This schedule is permitted under
new law, chapter 3S1, passed by the
present legislature. 1t was made clear
during the hearings that the canning
industry was seriously hampered by
the restrictions Of the ten-hour law.

ROTHSCn,LDS BACK OF
WATERS-PIERCE OIL CO.
Big Company Is Now Being Reorsan-
lied With Capital Of
$1o,O0o,oOO.

ST. Louis, June 24-The Standard
Oil company will have rival in a
short time, it is believed. The Waters
Pierce Oil company is being reorgan-
lied, it's capital being increased from
100000 to $10,000,000. The European
banking family of Rothschilds is under
stood to have invested heavily in the
reorganization.
Henry Clay Pierce of St. Louis,
chairman of the board Of directors Of
the old Waters-Pierce company, will
retain a controlling interest in the re-
organized company. The Rothschilds
are heavily interested in an English
corporation which is a strong rival Of
the Standard in England.
1t is said that when II. Clay Pierce
last winter bought from the Standard
Oil interest their stock in the Waters
Pierce company, the funds were fur
nished by the London house Of the
Rothschilds. About that time Pierce
had ordered a complete set of the in
voices of his company made in st.
Louis and sent to him in New York
before he started for London.
He is said to have laid this informa-
ton before London and German bank
ers to induce them to put up money
for the refinancing of the company
It is intimated that the property of the
Pierce-Fordyce Oil association will be
taken over by the reorganized Waters
Pierce company. which is to have a
new name.
