Death of Judge Cooper

Tucson, Dec. 4.-Judge William
Fenimore Cooper, of the superior
court of Pima county, died Satur-
day afternoon at 4 o'clock, at his
home, 619 East Sixth street, after
a continued illness and gradual
breaking of health that has kept
him from his official duties for
several months. Judge Cooper
was a prominent citizen of this
city and of Arizona, and was ad-
mired and esteemed by all who
knew him.
Judge Cooper has been afflicted
with asthma for a number of years,
and during the last year his illness
kept him closely confined to his
home. His death was not unex-
pected.
Judge Cooper had the distinction
not only of being the first judge of
the superior court in Pima county,
but was also the first superior
Judge sworn in after the admission
of the state. His creditable and
enviab1e reputation as representa-
tive of the bench was we'll earned.

Vote for Good Government

Circuit Court convened on the
23rd, Judge j, L. Bates presid-
ing. His charge to the grand
jury was clear and to the point.
He made special mention of the
liquor law to be voted on Nov.
7th. The question is, shall we
uphold the present law, Il at.
every Is days. or go back to the
old way of turning things over
to boot leggers and blind tigers,
and buy all you want. Judge
Bates told the grand jury that
the quart law had greatly les
sened the use of whiskey and
also crime in his district, and
was the best law we had ever
had on that subject, and made a
strong plea for retaining it.
Hon. A. T. Stovall, who had
been in communication with
the Ante-Saloon League, of Jack
son, Miss, who had asked him
to call attention to the great ne
cessity of every man voting to
retain the law on the 7th of Nov,
addressed the voters briefly.
The great fear was that men
would neglect their duty and
pass it by, thinking his neigh
Dor would attend to it. 1t is not
enough to be in favor of it, but
every good citizen will leave ev-
erything on that day and deposit
his vote for it. showing his faith
in a way that counts. Go and
do your duty to your neighbor,
to yourself, and especially to the

Burning Twigs Kill Out
Pecan Tree Girdlers

In answer to the many inqui-
ries from all parts of the state
in regard to a tree girdling in
sect which does a great deal of
damage to pecan trees in the
fall, R. w. Harmed, of the ento-
biological department, Mississip-
pi A. and M. College, offers the
following advice and suggestions
as to the best means of cambat-
ing the pest:
THE pecan tree girdler is very
easy to control, as the eggs of the
insect are laid in holes punctured
by the female beedle just below
the buds on the twig that is cut
off. The larvae, if allowed to
hatch, will crawl into the ground
to pupate, therefore it is necessary
to gather up and burn all twigs
that fall to the ground, or that
break and hang from the tree.
If this system is carefully fol-
each fall the pecan tree girdler
will do very little damage, but
if allowed to breed unchecked it
is likely to cause considerable
loss.
