 H|S YOUNG WIFE
December and May Mar riagc Does Not Result Satisfactorily for Groom Who Gets No Promised Money from Bride

George II. Furman was granted q writ of injunction yesterday by Judg~ Phillips restraining Robert w Brown, Ethel Otis Furman and the SunflOWer Cinnabar Mining company from selling or otherwise transferring 24,S75 shares of stock of the company that were formerly in the name of the petitioner
 The complaint, filed in the superior court, alleges that Ethel Otis Furman, who was formerly Ethel Otis Cook claimed to have invented a pie tin that would prevent the toothsome pie from sticking to the pan after baking. The lady also claimed that she had re- ceived an offer of $8,000 for the patent from resident of Phoenix and that she had decided to sell it. About this time MT. Furman and the lady became engaged to be married nothWithstand- ing the disparity in their ages and June 2S of this year the couple were married by w. I. Brooks in the pres cnce of $. F. and Olive V. Williams.
 Shortly before the marriage the plaintiff claims that he transferred 15,000 shares Of the stock of the cGm- pany to his fiance and she promised in return to allow him to use the $S00O for

speculative purposes. She also gave him $l0O which she said was the earn est money paid by the purchaser of the patent pie tin.
 on the night that the inventor of the pie tin and the plaintiff were married he gave her 4,S75 shares of the stock and again on July he gave her an ad- ditional 5000 shares. The plaintiff claims that so far he has not received the S8000 for the purposes of specu- latiOn and also that his wife has ent- cred into a conspiracy with the other defendants to sell the stock to some party or parties unknown.
 On July the plaintiff claims that he asked the defendant Brown to re- turn the stock to him and notWith- standing repeated requests the defend ant has so far refused to give up the stock or refrain from selling it. He therefor prayed for an injunction against the defendants which Judge Phillips granted.
 The marriage license for George H. F'urman and Ethel Otis Cook was talk en out on June 28 of this year and the parties were married the same day. The bridegroom gave his age as 63 and the bride as 25.

BULLETIN LIN
 FARM UNITS
Secretary of Board of Trade Prepares Some Valuable Information on Sm a l Farms and Farm Labor Problem

The secretary of the board of trade has recently issued a special bulletin on the farm unit idea now being ad- vocateG as the solution of the farm labor problem. Small compact farms highly cultivated, is the idea. Over two thousand of these bulletins, the full text of which is given herewith, have been printed and are being sent to every member of the board of trade well as to all the correspondents of the institution. The idea of the bulletin occurred to the secretary when read ing an article on California and the Japanese" that appeared in a recent issue of the Country Gentleman Mir. Currie is coming to this section in the near future for the purpose of invest
 gating the subject here. The text of the bulletin is follows:
 That the solution of the farm labor problem in the 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 one hundred 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 Gentle
 
 The tent o-forty acre subdivision will also mean the success of the irrigation projects instituted by the reclamation service. Ten to forty acres cultivated and cropped by the owner and his family will make a community of progress and prosperity. A splendid ten acre crop has ap- peared in Arizona where Egyptian l long staple cotton is grown to per 1 lection There is no other part of the country where Egyptian cotton l can be grown but it has attained 1 perfection in the Salt River valley on the lands under the Roosevelt dam. The yield will average a bale and a quarter to the acre or 6,250 pounds
 of lint cotton to the ten acres. In 1912 the cotton sold for 23 to 23I4 cents per pound in the eastern l markets, netting the farmer 21 to 21A cents per pound. Two good pickers can handle ten acres. The picking season lasts 100 days, com mencing early in September. Add another ten acres for d tWenty-acre farm, there can be grown alfalfa, or some other crop with room for houses and barns, chickens, a COW or two and pasture for horses.
 Opportunities to secure tWenty-acre farms are none too frequent, and the offer to rent twenty acres under the irrigation project now being made by land owners in Arizona should attract many people who are looking for chance to establish a home
 As solution of the farm labor problem the ten-t -to-f forty acre farm will be important, but the ten-to- forty acre farm owner must do his own work and do it with profit. The opportunity that Egyptian cotton offer tp spread the years work over d number of months and give a cash revenue for big share of the crop is one that might well be considered by farmers all over the country.

 The Waterbank
 CBv C. H. Fitch)
 The early settlers in this valley rullv realize the benefits derived from tre Roosevelt reservoir, but the popu- 1ation has so largely increased of late years that many who are deriving the benefits do not appreciate what the storage of water means.
 The value of the stored water be- hind the Roosevelt dam was never so apparent as it is this season The reclamation service reports that for the month of June 96.20O acre feet were drawn out of the reservoir 10 supply the growing crops in the val lev surrounding Phoenix, and that on both sides of the river there has been an abundant supply notW1th : standing the fact that since the mid de of June the normal flow Of the Salt and Verde rivers has averaged lower than at any time since the government began delivering water III the valley. Since that time. were II not for the reservoir, the total amount of water available would only be l sufficient to lrrlSate dpproAiIItttlS 3S. 900 acres of land including the lands under the Tempe and other in dependent systems. With the Roose- | welt dam holding back the water td be used as needed, drawing upon the l supply as money from a bank, when required it is possible to give an un- stintcd supply, keeping green the vast area planted to alfalfa, grain, sugar beets, cantaloupes, fruits and Vege- tables. The area in cultivation in this valley at the present time IS larger than ever before, approximately 1SS, 900 acres, and the prices prevail ing for alfalfa and all other crops are such as to promise big returns to the farmers on anything they produce To fully realize the value of the stored water consider that 10000 acres. now in cultivation, would be without water if the reservoir were not built and that the added crop production due to the stored water estimated on a conservative basis would be at least $3.000,0 900.

Forty-six Times as Many Cultivated Acres in Salt River Valley as Were Possible Under Normal Flow of Salt River

It is not generally known but the fact nevertheless remains that as a result of the Roosevelt dam on the Salt River nearly six times the amount of acreage is being watered this year in the valley than would have been possible had the dam not been constructed and were the farmers of the valley dependant upon the normal flow of the Salt and Verde rivers For some time past the officials of the reclamation ser vice here have been preparing data upon the subject and yesterday Pro feet Engineer c.

FINANCES AND MARKETS
ASSOCIATED PRESS p1sPArcH1

NEW YORK. July 8.-AlthOugh the
 stock market was subjected to further
 depressing influences today it main
 tained a fair degree of steadiness and
 there was a drift downward but the movement was so slight as to be in
 significant. Union Pacific was the only
 important speculative stock which at it's low price of the day showed loss
 of as much as a point.
 European markets are again dis
 turbed by the troubled Balkan situa- tion and stocks here received their first
 downward impulse from the lower quo tatiOn sent from London. Fears are expressed Of renewed European liqui-
 dation but only a few thousand shares were disposed of here today for the
 foreign account
 The bear traders received further en- courag agement from the engagement of B. 900. .0OO moro gold for export to Paris. from the new negotiations between the trainmen and managers of eastern railroads to settle the wage question which had been interrupted. There was no heavy trading and the days movements consisted of slow fluctua- tions back and forth within a narrow range with heavy undertone. Great Northern ore, Westinghouse Electric and American Telephone which were the weak features of yesterdays trad ing recovered a part of their losses to- day. Government bonds exhibited a further heaviness. Two's which rec | ently broke to below par for the first time sold today at the recent bid price of 99, a decline of point from the Ia st previous sale. Fours sold at 113 the price recently bid then offered 112% a decline of f on call on the day The bond market was in general irregular | with a lower trend. Total sales were

Proper and Improper
Action on Deferred

number OF whist and auction experts
en- route from the recent Congress Of the
American Whist League at Chicago were
discussing the question of deferred

The discussion on the deferred declara-

the most delicate judgment; that the
point GENERALLY brought forth the double

great opportunity for conversation. HIS
observation was that the player VINO
