Most Of this amount is taken in

Taking June as a representative
month, the police records show that
arrests Of drunkenness dropped
from 5s6 to 1856, with the number Of
attending vagrancy arrests shrinking
alphabetically from "a, counted as
amazingly small number last year, to
30. The average number Of vagraney
arrests last year was in the neigh
borhood Of 300 each month.
Little difficulty is being experience
ed by the police 50 far as shipped-in
liquor is concerned. The advance Of
the summer months and impending
hot weather naturally caused the num-
Der Of shipments TO increase some

rests has not increased. In fact June
figures showed a decrease Of eight in
the list of arrests.
Greatest trouble has been found in
the practice Of drinking alchohol. but

The pavement commences about quarter mile east of the Tempe city limits and extends east past the Pacific Creamery plant to within about a quarter mile of the next section line
 Tarvia has all the appearances of serving as a first-class highway even under the heaviest of travel. Three to five inches of crushed rock. taken from the quarry at the Little Butte was the first ingredient for the new roadway and then over this was poured the Tarvia preparation. After heinz thoroughly packed with a heavy roller, this was covered with a mix ture of coarse sand The pavement will receive it's full share of the heavy milk wagon and gravel wagon traffic.

FINANCES and MARKETS

NEW YORK, Feb. 2b Wall Street. The one absorbing and overshadow ing feature of today's feverishly weak market was the fear of a rupture be- tween the executive and legislative branches of the federal government. resulting from Germany's proposed ex- tension of it's submarine policy. All other considerations and developments some of them highly favorably were ignored.
 All classes of stocks were affected in greater or less degree but the shrink age was more severe in the munitions and oil groups, although high class is- sues recorded declines of to points.
 Total sales amounted to 590,000 shares.
 Further cause for unsettlement was furnished by the very heavy offerings of Anglo French war bonds, sales of this particular issue completely dOm- mating that branch of the securities market. The minimum quotati'l of sue marked a decline of 17s from it's best price of the early part of che year. though fraction above it's min mum figure in the latter part of 1915.
 Bonds as whole reflected the heavy tone Of the international issue. Total sales par value were s4,075,000.

WANTS TO GET HOME

The Commercial club is in receipt of a letter from George A. Johnson, of the Toggery. Mir. Johnson is in New York buying for his store. and while he writes that New York is pre- eminently the market he also states that it was showing there at the time he wrote and that it was some frio for an Arizonian. He states that New York is unusually crowded with buyers for the retail trades on account of the war. A very great many South American merchants who formerly have gone to Europe for their purchases, are crowding into New York. The dye stuff situation is such that this will
 be distinctly a White goods year. The scarcity is so great that as it is commonly expressed in the east, we soon will have to change the color of the flag, because of lack of dyestuffs. Mir. Johnson grows en- thusiaStic over the wonderful dress creations to be found in the market and says he has selected a choice lot for his home trade. Incidentally he sent a list of names of we'll to do people who seemed interested in Ari- zOna, with the suggestion that Val ley literature be mailed them
