Publishing War News

The weekly newspaper al not
publish extended accounts of the
European war. The weekly has
neither the space nor facilities to do
so. To cover a large field of varied
news the weekly must be brief
must necessarily summarize. And
how can any one truthfully summar-
lie the reports of this war? The
daily paper does not have o 1t can
publish any and all the reports under
any date line. and let the reader take
his choice.
If he is pro-German he can read
the German side. Ii he is pro-Ally
he can read the other side. But If
he reads both in an attempt to get
at actual facts, he will be lost in a
maze Of doubt.
The only actual fact this paper can
figure out is that the Aires have the
best facilities for circulating news
reports of their side of the war, and
they have made extensive use Of it.
The net result Of these more fire.
quent and more detailed reports from
the side of the allies is noted in three
fourths of the daily newspaper head
lines. which have considerable infu-
ence in shaping public onlnion. This
is largely due to the methods of
making up a newspaper. For in

A 100 million dollar wage increase for
men in freight and yard service Cess than
one-hfth Of all employes) is equal to a S per
cent advance in all freight rates.
The managers of the railroads, as trustees
for the public, have no right to place this
burden on the cost of transportation to you
without a clear mandate from a public tri-
bunal speaking for you.
The railroads have proposed the settle
ment of this controversy either under the
existing national arbitration law, or by refer
ence to the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. This offer has been refused by the
employees representatives.
Shall a nationwide strike or an
investigation under the Gov

visit the same tree on the second day. Some low growing plants and possibly trees up to two or three years of age might be protected against these bees by the use of cheap mosquito netting. The reason why these bees are so much more troublesome with you is that there is comparatively little at tractive vegetation for them. Conse- quently they concentrate upon the com paratively few trees or plants which they may find. As regards umbrella trees, l would suggest that if you had ten times as many umbrella trees as you have at present you would not be likely to notice any appreciable dam age to any of them. However, I would not recommend that you go into an ex cessive planting of comparatively use less trees when fruit producing trees can be so easily grown. It is possible that a dry application of arsenate of lead mixed with sulphur and applied to the trees with a hand duster might be effective. If you have any kind of d sprayer which would be suitable for applying arsenate of lead to your trees I would suggest that you secure a pound of arsenate of lead powder which can be usually obtained from seed houses and drug stores. One ounce of arsenate of lead to a gallon of wa
 ter is ordinarily sufficient but for protecting against the leaf cutter bees, 1 would suggest that the strength of the mixture be doubled.

Girls Who Are Alleged to Have Taken Diamonds, Apprehended; Will Be Brought Back, But Not Prosecuted

Brucella Kimmis. the will o'the wisp girl and her companion, Mildred Clare, were apprehendcd by the police in Pas adena yesterday. They will be brought back to Phoenix tomorrow.
 Throughout the day, Dr. and Mrs Harry Carson from whom the Kimmis girl stole diamohos to the value of sev- eral hundreds oi dollars, were inter rupted by constant telephone calls from the various shops in town and were advised that the will o'the wisp had made purchases on Saturday which she had charged to the Carson ac- count.

 And the diamonds that Brucella took from the home where she was treated with every kindness, included Mrs. Car sons engagement ring, a platinum and diamond bracelet, and a Phi Beta Phi fraternity pin set in diamonds and em- eralds as well as a handsome chiffon waist and silk stockings.

Agricultural students in higi schools agricultural schools and col ieges, as well as teachers of agricuI- ture in such institutions, will be in- terested in the new Soils Labora Q tory Manual and Note Book" com piled lv Professors Eastman and Davis which has just been published by the J. E. Lippincott Co, PhiIa- delphia. This manual is very sys- tematically arranged and should make an excellent guide for those who wish to undertake a systematic study of soils. The Illustrations and the cloarly defined statements of the various steps to be taken add mJch to tho value of this manual It is believed that this book might be found of much assistance by those Who are taking correspondence courses In soils and by farmers clubs and groups of farmers who are talk ing up reading courses on soils. The practical bearing of the questions and application Of the laboratory ex- periments should appeal to those who like to study agriculture in it's re- lation to farm practice.

COMBATING LITTLE
 LEAF CUTTER BEES

Most farmers in southern Arizona have had trouble with the leaf cutter bee. Here is what Dr. A. w. Morrill,, State and University of Arizona agri- cultural experiment station entomol- ogist, has to say about this insect:
 "I judge from the specimens of leaves that the work was done by one of the leaf cutter bees. These bees do not eat the leaves but use the pieces which they cut for the purpose of lining their nests. I do not believe that any poison would be effective against these bees, although as far as I know poisoning the foliage has never been tested. Any effect it might have would be merely accidental. Whether the accidents would happen frequently enough to be of any value remains to be seen. believe, however. that the destruction of the bees which visit your 5 tree one day will not have any appre- ciable effect upon the number which

will o'the Wisp girl bought countless frou frous at shops the afternoon of her flight to the coast amounting to at least $50, which was duly charged to her benefaclors. During the past month it seems slc has order ed articles from the grocer. as well q from the drug stores and the candy shops which she las charged to the Carson account. Mrs, Carson, q few days ago thinking it was peculiar that she had received no bills, telephoned the different places where she has been purchasing and asked why she had not received a bill. She was informed that she had been. mailed state.rent on the first of the month. Yesterday. she found these bills in BruceIta's pretty room in the Carson apaltm ent along with sheets Of paper where the young girl had been figuring the cost of railroad fare to Los Angeles for two, for Mildred Clare went to California as her guest on the money secured from the ring pawned at the New State Loan for $40.
 While she planned her flight careful ly, Brucella made one mistake and that at the pawIo shop. While she signed the name of Miss c. Gibson when she left Mrs. Carson's ring she gave the ad- dress S4l North Second Avenue, where her home has been since her mothers sad end.
 Her own relatives told nio not to take her into my home, that I would be sorry as ,ong as l lived" said Mrs. Carson. But l could not bear to see that sweet pcetty girl sent to the re- form school without giving her a chance. She is not bright girl. in fact 1 believe she is mentally deficient, but she has such a sweet disposition and was so dear to my baby" said the young mother.
 'I could nos understand why her rel~ atives had been strict with her but of course I can comprehend that now. Perhaps l was not strict enough, but thought her just young and foolish and not clever and overlooked many things
 No one who knows the Carsons have ever questioned their goodness to the girl who was encouraged to bring her friends to their home and frequently special pleasures were provided for them. There were little dinners. par ties at Riverside. the Rose Tree and other innocent amusements.

It is observed that cattle and horses rarely suffer from death acomas, while sheep are seriously poisoned with them. Lupines are far more dangerous to sheep than to either horses or cattle, in fact. they are relished by horses. Larkspur plants are deadly to cattle and harmless to horses and sheep. Larkspur is a good forage plant for sheep. Sneezeweed, though harmful to sheep does not appear to injure cattle or horses.
