MASTER To CONDUCT
SOME ECONOMY TESTS

Beginning August 1st, the Master
Carburetor Company win conduct
economy tests throughout the United
States. These tests will be in charge
of the distributing agencies in the var
ious states. Locally the tests will be
under the supervision Of c. D. Mess
ner, Arizona distributor The tests are
to follow uniform rules. and the same
conditions will apply to the tests in
all sections of the country. Their pur-
pose is to take the cars of any one
that desires; they will use one gallon
Of gasolene, testing the mileage with a
carburetor on the machine at the time
They will then place on the car a Mas
ter CarburetOr and test the mileage
with one gallon Of gasoline, using the
same roads, the same speed and the
same general conditions. Mr.. Messner
advises that gasoline viii be furnished
free. and the car left in the same state
as found after the contest has been
completed.
The local distributor says he will be
just as glad to try out the tests for

Conference; Local Mem
bers Return

The board of supervisors and Clar-
ence L. Standage, clerk returned yes
terday afternoon from Prescott where
they had been in attendance upon the
state tax conference composed of the
boards and assessors of the various
counties and the members of the state
tax commission. The object of such
conferences is to compare the tax rolls
OF the several counties and to bring
out suggestions for the removal of
such inequalities as may be found to
exist. The conference was in session
a week.
Maricopa county furnished the chief
bone of contention, the assessment or
rather the action of the county board
of equalization on the assessment of
city let's and irrigated lands in this
valley The supervisors sitting as a
board of equalization had cut the as
sessment on these classes of property
twenty per cent. on the ground that
the valuation by the assessor had been
based upon an inflated value which
had since undergone some punciuring.
County Assessor Bone who took part
in the conference stood by his orig
inal assessment and he was sustained
by a majority of the members of the
conference few days ago a resolu-
ton was adopted by the conference
requesting the state tax commission to
sustain the assessor as to the assess
ment of irrigated lands This was OPP
posed by the Maricopa county board
and was not supported by the members
from Coconino county. On Saturday a
similar resolution was adopted by the
conference with respect to the valua
ton of city lots in this county.
Except as to these two classes of
property the assessments of the var
ious counties were found to be- fairly
uniform.

GATHER DRAWS
PAY FROM THREE

The national commission has
guaranteed Ted Gather. the former
Boston player. full salary under
iron clad contract for 81 500 dur
ing the present season.
The case is a complex affair. as
the Braves originally sent Gather
along with Moran and Whaling, to
the Vernon Pacific Coast League
team in payment for Outfielder
WilhOlt.
Gathers release from Jersey City
to Vernon was brought about by
the Braves, who entered into an
agreement with Vernon by which
that club should pay Gather 1925
a month and Boston would make
up the rest of the contract.
Later Vernon decided that IL
could not afford to pay that much
salary, and Gather subsequently
went to Montreal. where he is get
ting $3.50 a month.
The commission has ordered that
Vernon must pay Gather the diff
ference between 1926 and $3.50 a
month, in accordance with their
Boston agreement, while the
Braves still make up the rest of
the contract. Three clubs, there
fore, split up Gathers salary.

YELLOW LAWNS ARE EASILY
MADE GREEN

II your lawn is yellow rather
: than green, don't let the dandel-
ions make you blue. There is an
easy method of killing then. re-
commended by w. l.. Oswald,
head of the seed-testing !abora-
tory at University Farm, st. Paul.
This is by spraying with a solu-
ton of sulphate of iron.
Heavy growth of dendelion may
be killed by spraying from a nozzle
that gives mist-Iike spray with
a solution of 1 l-2 pounds of
sulphate of iron to gallon of
water. An ordinary garden sprink
Ter does not give good results.
The solution should be sprayed
over the lawn about three days af-
ter the grass has been cut on a
bright day when the possibilities
of rain are in slight. The lawn
must be cut or watered for three
days or more after the applica-
ton.
The lawns may be sprayed once
a month during the entire summer
starting at the time the dandel-
ions appear. With proper care
the spray will not injure the grass.
Care should he taken in applying
the solution to keep it off con-
crete walks, as it p"rmantely dis
colors them. Stains in clothing
made by the sulphate of iron are
not removable.
Ii there are only a few dandel-
ions on the lawn, Mr.. Oswald says
they may b" removed by cutting
them off just below the surface
of the ground with a knife. Case
line or Kerosene applied to the
crown of the individual plant will
| kill it.
Permanent relief from dande-
lions and weeds can be secur-
ed only by getting thick vigor-
Gus growth of grass. This is
secured by using plenty of ferti-
!lizer and grass seed.
