Yield Per Acre Increasing.
Much manure is used in ferIilizinS
he soil used for the cabbages. The
land is valued at from $500 to $500
an acre. It is consequently necessary
TO obtain heavy yields to get a fair
interest on the money tied up the en-
terprise.
The late cabbage will yield an aver
age OF ten tons to the acre. The early
crop ranged from ten to twelve tons
this season, but eight tons is an aver
age yield Due to the fact that the
varieties of cabbage are constantly
being improved by seedsmen, the
yield per acre is gradually increasing

SEASON OF NOISE
Mems Wearing Apparel To Be
Loud This Fall.
Women Not Ahead of Men i'm
Freak Styles.

Kansas avenue will be a noisy place
indeed this fall. Mems styles as well
as womens in clothing, are designed
to attract attention as well as for serv-
ice.
For instance: The mems suits will
be form fitting. One button coats
will be in vogue and the trousers will
not be pegged to any extent and will
be close fitting. A bow-legged indi-
vidual will be unfortunate this fall.
A slant at the neckwear on display
in show windows betrays the fact that
it is TO be worn for something other
than service. Yellow, red, green, blue
and white are the colors woven into
one which is spotted in a show window
by pedestrians. Brown will be worn
a great deal this fall, according to To-
cal dealers. Another favorite color
will be a Burbank between brown and
green. Overcoats will be tight fitting.
And all colors will be loud-extraOrdi-
narily loud.

 Malley's program took him to the experiment farm northwest Of the city, to the date orchard, near Tempe and throughout the valley in general In the absence of State Entomologist A. w. Merrill, he was shown about by the chamber of commerce.

Villa, Zap pa .. ta and many leaders affiliated with them have agreed to- the proposed peace conference. Carranza may reply before the conferees meet again and there are some officials who believe he al least will leave the way open for further negotiations
 Officials are convinced however that Carranza will make a tremendous effort within the next few weeks to drive Villa from his stronghold at Tor reon and Chihuahua and thus establish the virtually complete supremacy of his government. General Obregon and other Carranza commanders have been unusually active within the last ten days. statement of military opera tions issued tonight by the Carranza agency described the capture of lea mole. Saltillo. Paredon and other cities from the Villa forces.
 Again today Carranza and his com manders on the Mexican border issued statements disclaiming participation by their forces in the border raids and as serting that orders had been given for the cooperation with the United States forces to avert border hostilities.

PERMANENT MYSTERY
 OF A DEAD MAN
coroner's Jury Abandons Hope of
 Establishing Identity of the Dead

The mystery of the man who was found dead four miles east of the city two weeks ago, will probably never be cleared up. The coroner's jury sitting before Coroner Parker after three ad- iournments. yesterday found that the man was unknown. probably an Amer ican and that he came to his death of a gunshot wound inflicted by himself.
 When the jury adjourned week ago there was good reason to believe that the dead body was that of c. w. Vim son of Fl PasO. Vinson had been in the valley month or two. before and he wore a watch charm with a letter " similar to that found on the body of the dead man.
 A letter had been received from the postmaster at Fl Paso saying that Vim son was well known there but that he was evidently not there at the time of the writing of the letter for there was an accumulation of letters in the post office for him.
 A letter had also been written to the mother of Ninson asking if she knew the whereabouts of her son. No reply had then been received but recently she wrote that her son was alive and well and that he was visiting relatives in the state of Washington
 There was found on the body a purse containing s1sO and diamond stickpin.

The bids of eight contractors for the construction of the proposed Central Fire Station were opened yesterday by City Manager Robert A. Craig and af- forwards taken under consideration. The bid of J. B. Hammers was the low est as to the total, and seems in line to receive the award if examination of the bid in detail shows it to be regular. There was wide difference in the bids that of Lammars being S11,S72 as against bid of $17,155 submitted by & Eagan, a variance of more than $5000.
 The bids as opened and read were:
