HOPE vs PRESCOTT
Foot Ball Game Easily Won by
 Prescott Boys

A foot ball game was contested be- tween the Prescott and Hope High Schools, Friday afternoon at 3:45 D. m., on the High School campus.
 The Prescott line was invincible, the Hope players being unable to break it in any place during the game.
 Mcdaniel and Wilson of Prescott made great runs and by so doing, gained much ground for that team. Newton, the Hope quarter, starred for his team during the game.
 The game was a good one from start to finish, but the Hope boys were out-classed in every respect, the score standing IS to 6 in favor of the Prescott boys at the end of the game.
 Later in the evening the tired play CTS were entertained at a banquet given by the Prescott High School girls, in the Scott Building. Ice cream and cake was served and highly enjoyable time was had by all. The Hope team returned home on number three.

OIL LINE CASES IN COURT
Corporations Have Big Array of Law yers to Argue Unconstithtion-
 aIity of United States Law. -

Washington, Oct 15-The case of Standard Oil and other oil companies to prevent the interstate commerce commission from regulating the op- erating of oil pipe lines was the first one taken up by the supreme court. An imposing array of counsel was in court for the oil companies to oppose Colicitor-General Davis of the depart ment of justice.
 The case turns upon the constitu- tionality of the pipe line amend ment" of 1906 to the interstate com- merce lays.
 The government contends that it had right, as provided in this amendment, to require all oil-carry- ing pipe lines engaged in interstate commerce to act as common carriers. The commerce court held that 1t did not and declared the law unconstitu- tional.
 The oil companies contend the gov ernment cannot hold as common car riers private individuals or corpora tions which have never posed as com- mon carriers. but which carry oil only for themselves and which enjoy no rights of eminent domain and no pow CTS from the state

Found Silver and Lead Prospect.

Little Rock, Oct. 1S.-Commissioner John H. Page reports that two men who have been prospecting for silver and lead near Havana, have struck what appears to be splendid pros pect. Some of the ore was sent to an assayist, and shows traces of sll- yer and rich per centage of galena. They also discovered an old smelter that had been used during war times for the purpose of smelting lead for bullets and other purposes. The dls- covery was made by B. F. Hodges and o. J.

EARLY AND DEEP BREAKING

Scientific farmers are urging early and deep breaking and the conserva- tion of the water supply by the dust mulch and yet there come letters tell ing of the failure of this system. It would be well for those who read these letters to know all the facts, and to analyze them, before coming to conclusions adverse to the system of dry farming, which may be prac- ticed in semi-arid sections as well as in others.
 If soils be broken deeply and left with clods and many air spaces through which water may evaporate, no real good is done by early break ing. The idea is to catch the water and to keep it. The system of dry farming which has reclaimed much of the desert is successful because it is properly practiced in ways which conserve the rainfall. If the water is to be kept the harrow should follow the blow, and the roller should fol- low.
 A soil so prepared that the water will go into it and come out at once is not we'll prepared for dry farming A soil so prepared that it is full of air spaces which let the air in, to take off the water, is not in accord ance with the principles of dry farm ing.
 We believe that when the facts are known the cases in which early and deep breaking have failed will be found to be cases in which much of the real work is left undone. It may be quite true that is harmful to break deeply and early and then to leave the soil rough and full of air spaces and with a dust mulch.
 It cannot be doubted, in the face of the fact that millions are now sue cessfully farming with the dry sys- tenn, that the system does conserve moisture and does produce crops.
 And if this system is worth so much to the arid West it is worth more to the countries where the rain fall is greater, and yet not sufficient, because there is more water to be bottled up and kept for use. It will be well to study the facts of each case of reported failure. The system ought not to be condemned for the failures of men who do not follow it to it's proper extent. No advocate of the system believes it will answer if half followed, or if the water, instead of being bottled up, is left to evapo- rate.-Farm and Ranch.

Moose today on the representatives of the Kimberlite Diamond Mining and Washing Go. of St. Louis, for reen- trance to the state, was postponed until a date to be determined later.
