New licked System Started

NeD licked System Started
 A new system of handling passenger tickets by the Santa Fe company vent into effect on August 1st. owing to the recent order and opinion of the Arizona Corporation Commission in the matter of three cent rate investi- gation now pending, for all busi- ness within the state of Arizona.
 All agents will be supplied with special card, simplex and coupon tickets which are to be sold after August 1st. The coupon of the ticket will be detached and held as a receipt for money paid and if the order of the Corporation Commission eventually stands. and the rate of 8 cents per mile becomes operative. the coupon will be good for a return of the excess amount paid by the holder. | The receipt coupon is not good | on trains for fare and must be signed and retained by the pur- chaser until a final decision has been rendered; if a three cent fare is ordered. they are worth the difference, if not they are

Arizona Good Roads Associations
 Special Bulletin to Members)

Congress has passed a Good Road Bill which will be of great benefit to Arizona. The measure appropriates for the whole country $5,OOO.OOO for the year beginning July l, 1916, and $10,OO0,OOO for the following year. adding $5. 100000 each year for five years in all.
 Of this sum Arizona receives for the first year about $71, 1000, second year $143,OOO, and in- creasing at the rate of $71, 900 a year so that in 1920 the state will receive $358. 900 or over $1 .OOO, GOO during the next five years.
 A further clause of the bill provides for spending a large amount in forest areas. Of this sum about $100.000 a year will. it is expected, be available for roads in Arizona. This fund for roads through and adjacent to Forest reserves is in addition to the present 25 per cent fund for road and school purposes.
 All of this is splendid and comes at a time when the need for road improvement is appreciated by everyone.
 However, there is one impor- tant feature of the road question in Arizona which has received no attention from this valuable bill.
 The roads through Indian reservations have not yet been provided for. Congress has been asked to aid in some way. It has been suggested that a grant of land be made for the purpose of building and maintaining roads across Indian reservations, but DO definite action resulted.
 The need for some improve ment is we'll known to those who must journey across these reser- vations. They occupy great areas and with road conditions as they exist to, ay are barrier to direct travel between important points in the state.
 You are urged to write to Sen ators Ashurst and Smith, and Congressman Hayden. and other friends of influence which you must have in Washington point ing out the need for some meas ure which will provide for ade- quate road accommodations across Indian reservations. Please take this action at once, and get all your friends to help. Congress may adjourn soon and some measure should be passed before adjournment. Do It now.
 Yours very truly,
 A, J. Chandler,
 Chairman Special Committee.

The Dry Farming Congress


 Cash prizes and trophies of unusual value are offered by the International Farm Congress (the Dry Farming Congress), which will hold It's annual session and exposition at El Paso in October. The exposition is known as the International soil-products ex- position, and IS recognized as the leading event of its kind in the world. It was held at Denver last year.
 In addition to the splendid of ferings designed 10 interest in- dividual farmer exhibitors, there are premiums hung up for col lective exhibits by states, coun- ties, districts and experimental demonstration stations which should call forth most lively ef- forts in this line, and result in the staging of line of exhibits, especially of the southwestern states. counties and districts, which will demonstrate the ad- vantages and illustrate the re- sources of this section most con- vincingly.
 Dry-farmed products grown west of the tooth meridian, or in sections having less than 25 inches annual rainfall. will have the privilege of entering in two separate classitications. There is a special list of premiums for this class of products not open to other competition, but the products of the dry-farmer can enter the general classes.
 The best state exhibit will be awarded a silver trophy cup val ued at five hundred dollars. $200 in cash and an engraved certifi- cate. The second best state ex- hibit will draw down $50 in cash, a $200 trophy cup and an engraved certificate. The third prize in this class is a certificate and $1OO Tn cash.
 Nearly a thousand dollars in cash and trophies are offered in the county collective classes.
 The farmer exhibiting the best half bushel of wheat will receive $100 in gold, in addition to the regular class prize of S15. while the best collective exhibit by an individual farmer will win cash and trophies to the amount of nearly two hundred dollars.
 The 1916 catalog and premium list is a most interesting little book. Copies may be had free by addressing the secretary at Fl Paso.
 The exposition dates are Octo- Der IT to 26 inclusive. The an- nual sessions of the International Dry Farming Congress will be held October 19, 20 and q.

KdnSds City Livestock Prices Kansas City Stock Yards:
 July 31, 1916.

July 31, 1916.
 A decrease of 5000 cattle last week from the previous week re- suited in a rise of 25 to 40 cents all along the line. Receipts today are 10000, market 10 to 15 lower on grass beef steers. some cases more, butcher cattle, prime corn fed cattle and stockers and feed CTS close to steady. Owners in the pasture country are nervous, and good many last minute orders for cars for today's market could not be supplied, hence a good run balance of the week is expected.
 Choice Missouri corn and grass steers sold at $10 this morning, and pretty fair corn fed steers sold down to $8 25. Kansas pasture cattle lacked quality a few selling above $8. .25. Okla homa and Kansas grazed Texas steers sold at $500 to $7.3O and some Panhandle steers sold to killers at $7.3O. Sixty four cars of quarantine cattle came in. the best at $8. 40. called steady. bulk of the cattle 10 to 15 lower, good steers at $7.50 to SITS, best grass steers $7.1O. light weights down to $5.75, cows $4.5O to $6. 25. Butcher cattle sold steady, fancy yearIing heifers on up to S9.75, best COWS $7.50, grass cows $5.50 to $6.25, bulls around $6. veals $10 to $11.
 Shipments out last week were II, 900 head, three thousand more than same week last year. A pretty strong demand was brought out, with prospects that it will increase right along. Choice light stock steers sell up to $8. 50, most of the stockers under SIPS however, feeders at $6, ,75 to $7.85. A drove of good red stock COWS sold this morning at $5. 50, without much fill.
 Hogs - Receipts were 11,OOO and prices were 10 lower, elimi- hating at a stroke nearly all the gain made last week. Top hogs sold at $9.6 bulk of sales $9. 40 to $9.65. light weights up to $9.6O. Prices are more than two dollars above a year ago, and receipts are running considera- ply heavier, but demands from killers are urgent, although they conceal their wants as much as possible. Fresh pork trade has slumped with the coming of hot weather but demand for product keeps the salt men busy, and is the main support of the market at this time.
 Sheep-Prices advanced 50 to 75 cents last week, and the mar ket is fully steady. Receipts are inadequate. and packers here are shipping in sheep and lambs bought at other markets. because of shortage here. The run IS 5000 today, fair to good native lambs selling up to $10. 40, Ari- Sonas $1Q. 40, choice Idahos worth around SLOTS. best yearlings $8. 8.25, wethers $8, ewes $7.6O. Breeding stock is firm, young ewes up to $9 and choice feeding lambs cost $9 or better.

SECURITY LEAGUE
CALLS A MEETING

NEW YORK, June 24.-The Mexican

new YORK LAWYER ASKS
FOR SOME INFORMATION

The editor of the Times-Recorder
has received a communication from
John ]. Dwyer an attorney at law, GIL
Broadway, New York, which requests
some information that some reader of
the Times-Recorder might be able to
furnish. His letter is:
I'VE would like to find some rela-
tive of Colonel John G. Mercer, who
entered West Point July LIST, 1850. He
was then resident of Palmyra, Lee
county, Georgia. He resigned from
the United States army In 1861 and
subsequently became Colonel of the
2lst Georgia Infantry. He was killed
in battle at Plymouth, North Carolina,
April 18th, 1854. We believe there is
about $500 available for his next of
kin but we can find no trace of them
in Lee county.
"If you will publish this letter it
may come to the notice of some one
who can give us the desired iuforma-
ton"

Of measures calculated to look well
on the statute books but, which when
the time comes for action, will be
found sadly inadequate and be the
means of useless loss of American
lives and bloodshed; that congress
has weighed the cost above national
safety and shown itself unwilling to
face the expense of national protec-
ton.
The statement concludes as fol-
lows:
"England's unpreparedness cost her
the flower of the nation. Our mobile
army of $4,000 is so small that in any
conflict we must depend on the 49,
5000 militia, the best blood of Amer
lea, and if any of these men are vic
tins of Mexican bullets it will be be-
cause our weakness invites attack
from a small nation. Had we been
prepared the hearts of Americans
would not today be full of anxiety of
