HOROSCOPE.
Tuesday, May 23, 1915.
The stars incline. but do not compel.

Tuesday, May 20, 1915.
The early hours today are best. accord
ing to astrology. for Mercury and Jupi-
ter are in benefic aspect Later Uranus,
Mars, Venus and Saturn are all in evil
place.
In the morning business affairs should
be pushed vigorously. Then speculation
may be lucky. Bankers and brokers
should benefit
Although the stars have presaged great
gain for fnanciers. there are warning
signs, however. indicating heavy losses
and strange conditions that could not be
foreseen by those who ignore occult
knowledge.
Women should conserve their energies
while this conflguration prevails, as the
stars indicate confusion, delays and dis
appointments. which nevertheless end
happily.
There Is sign read as propitious for
meetings that bring together large num-
bers of women, but sensational Incidents
are foretold and dissensions or disagree
ments are indicated.
This Is government of the planets par
ticularly trying for the aged and women
should be careful, as serious illness may
result for those who bear heavy RESPONSE
bilties
Uranus continues to exercisee a sinister
power wherever persuasive or diplomatic
measures are concerned.
This Is not an auspicious date for
theatrical enterprises or for entertain
ments that challenge public approval
Critics are held to be unusually severe
under this sway of the stars.
Danger of fraud in large contracts for
supplies is indicated. scandal relating
to machinery or machines of some sort
is predicted by the seers.
Fame for woman hitherto little known
is prophesied. The planets forecast the
rise Of new leaders among women as well
as men.
The general wearing of gay colors
during the summer months is read by
astrologers as the outward symbol of
thoughts persistently turned away from
somber ideals, but the brilliant hues will
not affect the public mind in which
serious anxieties will dominate.
Persons whose birthday it Is should
avoid dissensions of every sort. Changes
are not under an encouraging sway.
Children born on this day may be rash
and headstrong. These Gemini subjects
are usually versatile and able to succeed
in more than one vocation.

PHOENIX, Dec. 27-Intense excite ment prevailed in the judicial library of the superior court last night when notice was given by Watchers Jef D.ncan and Harry Schade that a number of the ballots bags had been moved and possibly opened.
 It took a little less than no time to zarher the clans. Leroy Ladd, sec rcrary 10 the governor, was one Of the first to arrive.
 Last Friday a number of sacks were turned so that the sealed open ipss were turned toward the wall
 Last Saturday. the keen-eyed watch ITS observed the exact position Of these bags-so important to the gu aarnatorial contest, which is still in ;he inspection stage.
 Last night Duncan and Schade no ,icad that the turned to the wall bags hea been moved. They investigated and discovered a number of the sacks open. So that il would not have Seen difficult fer a man to have put his hand in. extract rock of ballots md replace them.
 Tn response 10 phone calls. Judge stanford sent Clerk Johnson to the court house at eleven o'clock last tight. and there, in the presence Of |, itnessss, he resealed the bags.
 Three bags were first supposed to nave been opened, or to have been 'rft open by the inspectors. It was admitted that the latter might have been the case. although the watchers declared last night that the bags in question had not been in the hands of ne official inspectors.

ARIZONA COULD
 SUPPLY MUCH COAL

In spite of fact that there are hun dreds of square miles of undeveloped coal lands in the State of Arizona, the people in Tombstone. Douglas and Bisbce are suffering for want of the fuel. Regarding the Arizona deposits the Arizona Republican says:
 According to several state officials. there is enough high grade coal in Arizona to keep the whole country going for long time The coal is in the state lands. and at the present time there is no law allowing the talk ing of minerals from Indian reserva. tions.
 Fred Nelson, prominent Apache county attorney. stated yesterday af- ternoon that there were 300 square miles of coal land north of winslow. The coal is of the highest grade, ac- cording to Nelson. He related yes- terday that about 25 years ago. the Santa Fe sent out to the Indian coal fields. and brought fin enough to fiII one engine tender. The record that that engine made on the Arizona coal was simply amazing. Tn fact, after that memorable run there was . goodly quantity left over. which last. ed for a good many years as a monu- ment to unsuccessful ambitions.
 Tt was also stated by several north ern officials that there was . project on hand to build wagon road out to the coal fields and In this manner aI- leviate the threatened coal shortage in the north.

Jones, chairman of the corpora tion commission; w. A. Sangster, sec retary, and R. w. Kramer. assistant attorney general, meet with attorneys and officers of the Southern Pacific fic relative to the court record in one of the so-called 3-cent-fares cases now pending in the United States courts It is expected that the conference will last two weeks.
 The record of the hearing before the corporation commission Is quite voluminous and complete than in any case which has been before the United States courts in years.
 The testimony was practically all expert and technical in character, dealing with the formulas used in de- termining the valuation of the South ern Pacific's property in Arizona. both for interstate and intrastate traffic, pointed to freight and passenger ser. vice respectively.

ALL VARIETIES OF
 COTTON ARE GROWN

All varieties of cotton can be grown under irrigation in the south count of the long season and higher prices, the long staple varieties are at an advantage. Varieties of Egyp- tian cotton have been introduced sue cessfully and found well adapted to the climatic conditions prevailing ip the irrigated districts bordering upon the Salt. Gila and Colorado rivers. Egyptian cotton requires a growing season of eight to nfne months. and cannot profitably be grown where late frosts in spring or early frosts in the fall cut the season short. It has not vet been grown successfully at eleva- tions of over 1900 feet in southern Arizona.
 Egyptian cotton, including the i'm proved Yuma" and Pima" strains. should be planted about the first of March Light frosts occasionally check 1t at this date, but the damage is usually more than compensated by the longer growing season due to early planting. Harvesting may be- gin in September, or as soon as suf- ficient cotton is ripe to make a profit able picking. September and Octo- Der line is usually superior to that which natures later. Harvesting may extend into December.
 Pima cotton is strain of Egyp- tian that has been developed by the United States Department of Agricul- ture at Sacaton. and has a remarkably long, fine, strong staple. It is also somewhat earlier th.n other strains, and, consequently. more productive. In the Yuma Valley a variety of cotton known as Durango is consider | ably grown at this time. This is long. staple, unland cotton, inferior to Egyptian, and commanding a much lower price. The Durango has shorter growing period and can be planted as late as April.
 Short staple upland cottons are not grown extensively in the state. Their production Is limited less by climatic condition than by commercial factors which make the growing of long sta- pie cottons more profitable.

FIGHT TO A FINISH"

MORALES, Dec. 2s-The settlers in the Calabasas district are going "to fight to a finish" for their homes.

 The heirs have filed suit in the fed eral court at Tucson to eject the set slers now on the so-caIled "Baca Float"
 As a great number of the settlers on the float have been bona ide set tiers for number of years, a bitter legal battle is expected.
 Eminent legal counsel has been re- tained by the settlers, among the law yers being Judge Duhy and .. .. Purdum of Nogales.

HOSPITAL FULL
 TO OVERLOOKING

DOUGLAS. Dec. 2S-For the first time in several years. the Cochise county hospital is filled with patients and refusing to receive any otcers, according to the statement of pr w. A Greene. medical superintendent of the institution. Many applications for admission which have been made recently have been refused. the doc tor said, simply because there was room for none except the bedridden and none else are received.
 There are as this time 40 patients in the institution and an additional 4o residents in the poor farm section.
 "As fast as patients are discharged, others take their places, so we are full up constantly" said Dr. Greene yasterday. In the poor farm section every year sees the addition Of one
 more old-timers who lack means to provide themselves and necessarily become public charges.
 '''The hospital was built about seven years ago and was believed to be ade- uuate for many years to come. How ever, Douglas and Cochise county have grown much more rapidly than anyone believed would be possible. The number of inmates has kept pace with the population.
 At the present time 1t appears probable that the only solution for the problem will be to build an addi- tion."

ARIZONA PUT IN DISTRICT
 ELEVEN OF FARM BANKS

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2s-omaha, Neb., Berkeley. Cal. Spokane, Wash, Springfield. Mass-. Baltimore. Md, Columbia. s. C.. Louisville. Ky. New Orleans, La. St. Louis. Mo, St. Paul. Minn., Wichita. Kan, and Houston, Tex, have been chosen as locations for 12 federal farm loan banks, Ari- zona is in district eleven.
 The banks will be established as soon as practicable.
 Under the law each will have a capital of s750. 900. Applications for loans have been pouring into the board in great volume recently and it is estimated that a sum more than 20 times in excess of the combined capital stock could be used in msk- ing loans.
 Almost the first work of the banks after approving and issuing loans will be the issuance of farm loan bonds. new form of security fin this country.
 Pian Bonds of s25
 The bonds will be issued in de nominations as small as :e5. it is ex- pected, and will bear interest at a rate of per cent less than the in terest rate charged farmers on their loans.
 What this interest rate will he has not definitely been determined. Ii is limited by law to maximum of ( per cent. The expectation is that it will not exceed 5ik per cent al first and subsequently may be lowered Loans on farm lands are limited by the law to 50 per cent of the value of the land and may be payable in from five to forty years. As fast as loans are made bonds will be issued to cover them, so that at no time under the present plan. will banks entire capital be tied up in loans to the detriment of other applicants. Employees Are Wanted One of the chief tasks now con | fronting the board is to find experi- enced employees for the new banks. More than 5000 applications for posi- tions have been received. The ap- pointments will be exempt from civil service regulations. but the board in tends to assemble a corps of men ex- perienced in banking.
 The head of each bank will be des- ignated as the registrar. They prob ably will be only residents of the dis tricts involved and preferably attor- neys.

NO ACTION TAKEN
 ON HAYDEN BILL

PHOENIX, Dec. 29-Colonei liar ris. adjutant general of the Arizona National Guard, has received . wire from Congressma- :;.y uen stating that there will be no action taken by congress on his bill. to relieve guards men now on the border from doing assessment work on prospects held In their names.
 The colonel had hoped to get con gressional action in order that the large number of men serving on the border might not be forced to relin- quish their claims through failure to do the assessment work. Congress man Hayden also stated in his wire that although congress would take no action he had had . talk with the president who recommended that the men be given furloughs for the time necessary to do the work.
 As the men must be on their pros poets by the first of the year in order to hold possession. Colonel Harris thinks an order will be issued in a day or so extending furloughs to all men who desire them for that pur- pose.
 Colonel Harris has felt all along that it was manifestly unfair to the guardsmen to keep them on duty when by allowing them . little tine, they could do work which might in after years mean thousands of dollar, to them. A few weeks work and their prospects can be held for snoxh- CT year.

AJo STRIKE DIFFERS
 GREATLY FROM OTHERS

AJO. Dec. PA month ago the employees of the Cornelia Copper com pany were called upon to walk out. Occurrences in the interim provide one of the most remarkable stories in the history of labor disputes in recent years
 Twelve hundred men were on the pay roll when the walk out was call ed. The company was taken by sur prise So were the great majority of the employees all drawing top union wages for construction work Tn the first confusion among the men, many dropped their work For a few days operations were at low ebb. bu. the fact remains that no delay passed in which the construction work did not proceed.
 Along with the continuance of work and the steady recuperation of the construction forces during the month that has intervened. there are out standing these very exceptional facts as related to strikes and strike meth ods:
 Not a single new worker has been imported by the company.
 Not a single eviction has been made from the properties of the company.
 But thirty-one persons have been arrested in connection with the labor differences in the month of their dura- tion.
 Of those arrested sixteen were dis missed with warnings, eight were held to the superior court and four were fined in the court of Justice Mairs.
 The total fines thus assessed was but s90. the highest $50, for an az grayated case of gun packing, one of s20 for gun packing, the defendant pleading guilty, with ten day jail sentence attached, and two of sIO each for disturbing the peace through the use of ausive language. Three cases are yet to come to hearing.
 Of the total number arrested, two were women. both married, who per sisted in picketing and in abusive Ian guage toward men who continued to work. These were the only women arrested. They were discharged upon averring that they had rot un- derstood that they were committing an offense in defying the orders of the officers and on promising not to repeat the offense charged. Between the time of their arrest and discharge, they had been at liberty under bond.
