AN ARIZONA TRUST

A news dispatch 10 The Review yesterday told of the allotment to Arizona of S1Oooo in accordance with the provisions of the Lever bin which through national leg slatve enactment secured appropriation of SSooOoo to be devoted to the practical education of farmers throughout the country Arsonas share win be admin istered by the regents of the State University.
 If used integently the ten thousand dollars will SOW
 crop of information from which rich returns will be ensured It is stipulated that the money be applied eX cusively to the employment of farm experts who shall deal directly with the actual uers of the soil or to the printing and distributing of literature which shall be utilized in a manner bound to be helpful
 Here is legislative measure based on common-sense lines Here is fund at hand which to be help full if the custodians keep covenant with the donors. Practical education is brought to the doors the farm CTS and they are sure enjoy benefits from it if it is supplied in the generous measure for which pro vision has been made.
 Although the question doubtless is debatable' 1t would seem that better returns would be assured through the employment of experts who would carry their work from farm to farm than through the of literature Instruction by mouth and actual demonstration Is more potent than tho written word The Department of Agriculture has for years sent out tonnes of reatses and helpful hints on this or that subject It is hardly con cpiyabp Lever Bil was lnlenueu ID ploFlu' for an ampldcauon of the publicity bureau of the De partment of Agriculture
 A proposal that comes readily to mind is that the regents of the University Arizona devote practically the entire fund allotted to them to he employment and supervision of working experts whose activities would carry them into as wide territory in the State as tho appropriation for 1914 permits. Those sections wmci cannot be reached in this must depend upon ht erature for agricultural enlightenment The fact tha Arizona assumes no obligation in accepting the fund oh CT than that Shah be spent accordance with the pre- cepts of the Lever emphasizes the need of good ste" ardship The state and the University regents are pu on honor as it were and thus imposed Invites un usual diligence in keeping faith.
 Arizona next year will receive, in accordance with tn provisions of the Lever Bill amount equal to wha the legislature appropriates. Also in accordance wit the bill. the national appropriation will be increased ar nuary s3OoOOO until it reaches total of $3OoOOoo is assumed that this amount win equal the total appr prations made by the several states in compliance wit t5e terms of the measure Arizona has an opportunit to make record which will be acclaimed as an agr cultural achievement throughout the land.

hands OF an expert driver a car could be
pushed TO perform stunts quite impossible

looking around for a car upon which hs
could always depend for reasonable speed

always gets what II wants. SO out OF

NEARER NOW TO KEROSENE
Due to Increasing Number of

ny JOSEPH A. ANGLADA, VI. r..

The subject OF motor car fuels has OF
late been receiving a great deal of atten-
ton on the part of the engineering profess
sion and. to some extent. by the public
In fact the unsatisfactory quality OF gas
now available has become topic OF al
most everyday discussion. 1t can be
fairly stated that this lowering of grade
has been due to and necessitated by the
enormous increase In the number OF gaso-
lene engines installed in automobile and
motor boats and those used for Industrial
purposes without practically any increase
In the worlds supply of the crude oil
from which gasolene is obtained. That
there exists. therefore. a serious short

no one can deny. What does the future
hold forth
Prof. Magruder of the Ohio State Uni
verslty. stated a few months ago that
II all the gasolene engines in the country
now In use were to run ~ their rated
horsepower for ten hours day the
known gasolene supply would last about
thirty days. In other words. IL the gaao-
lene engines In use were run at their
maximum horsepower. the amount OF
gasoline available would be sufficient
only to run them one hour a day for about
q year.
This puts TO rest the popular impress
sion that the high price and low grade
OF present day gasolene Is due. mainly,
