the angles of the shares and up rights. Although the shares are but few inches wide, and are set 40 inches apart, the ground is thorough ly loosened from furrow to furrOW. It is estimated that the work costs S2.50 per acre, and this amount is really incOnsequential when one fig ures how much the operation inn proves soil conditions, how it loosens and lightens the ground, breaking it up so that the air can get into it, so that a vastly greater amount of wat CT is quickly taken up, creating in a way a irrigation system, one that permits heavier irrigation ai each run, and longer periods be tween drinks for the lower depth of water saturation tends to retard evaporation.
 Professor King of the University of Wisconsin. a practical student of agricultural physics, and regarded as one of the worlds foremost experts cn soil handling says, 'Subsoilng is undoubtedly most profitable in semi arid climates, tending as it does, to increase the available moisture for crop production.
 It is not necessary to wait an en- tire season to see the good results of subsoiling, for on Northern ave nue. near the Washington school, on ranch belonging to the Valley Re alty company may be seen a great lmDrOVement in a field of alfalfa that was worked over just a short time ago.
 From the Eirst- Baldwin ranch, the outfit goes few miles farther west, to the Dwight B. Heard West ranch where for the next few days it will be at work subsoiling an S0-acre l tract.

Good Work of Greene < Griffin Office With Re cent Venture of Home Builders Company iii the
 Brill Section of Phoenix

Three months ago the Home Build CTS through Greene and Griffin bought block number 6 in the Brill addition and named it Bonnie View Then the company proceeded to build seven houses on the south side of the block and replated the entire block. The type of home selected was the brick type bungalow, with the same style finish as is given the larger style of houses. Cement pOrches, steps, con crete foundation with brick walls, some of which were plastered on the outside, with white asbestos roofing gave a handsome outside effect. Built in bookcases separated the living rooms and dining rooms. Neat fire places were built in the living rooms and the dining rooms were equipped with china closets. Rooms were beau tified with the ornamental electric light fixtures as well as the tinting on the walls Enclosed brick kitchens complete in every detail with the ad vantage of outside screened kitchen porch made the houses very cOnVen- tent from the standpoint of the house. keeper
 Well located bed rooms with screen sleeping porches, With French wind ows betWeens sleeping porch and bed room added no little to the conven- fence and beauty Of the houses. Bath rooms equal to the best and complete in every detail helped also. The lots upon which the houses stood were planted with trees and palms and cement walks were built in front of the house and around the side of the house to the kitchen door. A neat fence enclosed the yard in the rear and this was painted. Altogether the whole appearance Of the seven houses was all that could be desired.
 The rates for the houses $235o, $25O down and $23.5O per month were so attractive that the seven houses

SELLING GOOD
 ALFALFA LAND

One of the most successful and pop ular realty operators in this section is F. w. Shedd of the Greene and Griffin company's force who handles the out of town property for this big concern. Recently MT. Shedd has been most successful in his endeavors to sell improved ranches to newcomers who desire improved property for the purp0ce of starting right in being AriZonians
 One of the notable sales was that to R. B. Marlett of Corona, Calif, who purchased from the Valley Bank the l60 acres in the northwest quarter of section twenty nine two and a half miles north of Glendale. The ranch is one of the best improved alfalfa pro- perties recently sold. It's value is said to be in advance of $24,000 which is approximately what it brought on 1 the market
 MT. Marlett is an experienced cattle 1 and hog raiser and intends to embark | in the business in this valley. He 1 thinks that the chances for making 1 the alfalfa fields pay in return for pasturage instead of the other means | of remuneration are exceedingly good and intends to give the proposition thorough trial.
 An other splendid sale made by MT i Shedd, was the purchase by William
 Whitfield of sixty acres on Northern avenue nine miles from Phoenix for
 s12,0 900. Mr Whitfield expects to pas
 ture the land to cattle. He has con siderable experience in feeding and is 1 impressed with the opportunities in
 this section.

 !. EFFECT SHOWN
Work on Alfalfa Ranches il Valley of Giant Subsoiler Seems to Show Solution of the Former Knotty Problem

Almost everyone has heard the fa- to Secretary Coburn of Kansas, Al falfa makes poor land good, and good land better" Judging from the re- cent experiments in the Salt River Valley, this might be paraphrased to read, "Subsoiling makes poor alfalfa good, and good alfalfa better" A splendid demonstration of the results of subsoiling may be observed at the ranch of Charles M. Smith, located miles due west from the Indian School. Side by side are two fields of alfalfa, both seeded two years ago. One seven acre field was subsoiled in January, 1913, and not only was the yield increased over four fold, but the stand over the whole tract is absolutely regular, whereas before the field had been somewhat 'spotty."
 There are many splendid alfalfa ranches in the valley, where there is an occasional streak or spot where the soil doesn't seem to take the water where the alfalfa makes a fair start every spring and then seems to be stunted. Many methods
 have been tried to change this con- dition, but subsoiling appears to be the most economical and efficient.
 At the present time KunZ Bros & Messinger are demonstrating a Rum ely oil-pull tractor and a double gang subsoiler on the Hirst-Baldwin ranch seven miles west of the fair grounds. 50 acres of young alfalfa
 are being subsoiled here and it is interesting indeed to see the soil lift
 up several inches, crack, crumple and settle down. thoroughly broken up. as the deep-running blows are pulled through the ground by the powerful engine. The two subsoilers are set to run about 15 inches deep, and run forty inches apart, making only a | harrow incision in the surface and doing comparatively little damage to the alfalfa plants. C. T. Hirst has | figured out several improvements on the subsoiler used placing a coulter
 wheel under the beam, and changing

One of the most interesting pieces of news of the week was that J. w. Stacy had succeeded in making good on his contract with the owners of the Los Olives Heights tract and after an energetic advertising campaign sold enough lots in the tract to cause the realty circles to set up and take notice.
 Within the last ten days he sold no less than thirty-tWo lots in this at tractive addition. There are d few remaining lots here for disposal but a great deal less than a third of the lots left Los Olives is so well sit uated as to location as to make it one of the additions of the city That particular section of the city is rapid . ly growing.

OH! SUCH FUN
 ATPLAYCR0UNDS
Well Worth the Time of
 Grown-Ups to Watch Little Ones at Central School

It is indeed great treat to stop at the Central School playgrounds for a while and watch the children play. There are every afternoon, after school hours, at least 200 assembled their ages ranging from four to six. teen years. Especially on Saturdays are the grounds crowded.
 There have been a few minor acci dents on the grounds since their in. stallation, but no serious ones. Two of the worst have been the breaking of one boys arm and another boy was hit on the head by a swing. The small accidents that have so far occurred have not in any way deterred the little tots from trying stunts on the different apparatus that a grown uer son would seem almost impossible.
 Not only do the play grounds fur nish amusement fer the children and keep them out of mischief. they also tend to make them great deal better physically. One citizen stated yester day that his son had been in rather poor health for the past few months and had never wanted to get out witf other children to any extent. Since the installation rf the play ground this youngster has grown quite rugged in health and it has been hard work for the parents to keep hin away from the play grounds at night l It would be a great surprise tC many If the grownHps to see somC of the many stunts that their chil dren do on the swings, links, slides and other paraphernalia of tho grounds. The boys especially are be coming proficient in pulling off these stunts. It Is their earnest desire, | seems, to excel each other in proSes' and it will do enc good to stop b, the grounds and watch them fol while.

Paris Plans To Meet Pabol Ban
 Against Tango
tBy Associated PressJ

PARIS. Feb 9.-Defonders of the tango are planning rally in Paris to return the fire of adiectives with which they have geen denounced. The occasion will te the annual meeting of the annual meeting of the Inter. national Academy of Dancing Mas. ters, which has been called for April 1 to l3, and the return fire will be in the form of polite resolutions of pro- test, if unsuccessful filth this meas ure Co induce the Catholic Church to remove the official bans on the new dances, the Academy proposes to compromise by inventing new dance based on the tango movement. to which no exception could possibly be taken and to call it the "True Tango.
 There is no evidence that the clergy will be moved with or by any reso. lutions of the dancing masters, of ac- Cept any compromise based on the Tango movement.
 The pastoral letter Of Cardinal Ba. . aAAh NtAAllf Ni'di tHtAtl dl ul AAOlAlt, has been taken in many quarters as a straightaway papal ban, and the emphtic way in which Cardinal Am cite, the Archbishop of Paris has char acterized the new dance as a sin, has left little room for compromise along the line of any of the "wriggly dances" The result of the stand taken by the Church has been viewed SO seriously by the dancing masters as unwarranted interference that test suits for damages against some of the clergy are pending. and 1T sue cessful they doubtless would be fol lowed by many such cases.
 The stand which the Academy is taking in defense of the present craze will be amusing to these of good memory who recall that three years ago this same organization set it's stamp of disapproyal on the whole lot of imported dances by character. izing them as "epileptic evoluticns hostile Co society" But times have changed and the dancing master who doesn't Tango has no place in Paris today.

SMITH BILL FOR
 DAM |S PASSED
Charleston Site Will Receive Expenditure of $1,OOO in the Conduct of Examina-
 ton of Favored Locality

Last week dispatch came from Washington to the effect that Senator Mark Smith had introduced bill into the United States senate making an appropriation Of Si GOO to be used by the government reclamation ser. vice in examining into the feasibility of building storage reservoir at Charleston on the San Pedro river Concerning this irrigation project the Benson Signal says:
 A message received in Benson yes terday from Congressman Carl Hay den states that the bill passed and the amount appropriated.
 Tae site ct the Charleston project Is a natural reservoir in every way even a natural spillway to the west It is located about 3S miles south of Benson, near Fairbanks. and also Q near the old mill town of Charleston now evacuated. All that would be re quired would be to make a gigan tic reservoir and build a jam across a gap that would be about 200 feet at the top and 1920 feet high. This would store water from the San Pedro river fer use in the dry seascn and would also catch tremendous lot of flood waters.
 Editor Wm. Schardin of the old Benson Press agitated the matter Q few years ago. Since that time 1t has been taken up by a number Of Benson business men.
 A corps of government engineers was in this vicinity for three years measuring the water and making sur veys. The report was exceedingly ia vorable to the building of the dam It was estimated that the remova, of the railroad from the site, buying up a prospect hole now on the site purchasing the amount of land nee essary and the building cf the dam would cost considerable less than a million dollars
 The amoInt of irrigable land com. ing under the system was estimated to be 1sS,O00 acres. This would GOV. CT all the san Pedro valley from the location Cf the dam to Benson and twslve miles north of Benson.
 The building of this dam is feasitle in every way and 1t is only a matter of time until 1t is constructed. It will
