No Serious Demonstrations

DOUGLAS. Ariz., July 21-No anti American demonstrations have oa- cured in Cananea, according to tel ephone message from T. F. Paschal forwarding agent of the Cananea Con solidated Copper Company at Naco today He said that he had talked with Cananea during the day and no one there had heard of any displays of hos tlty toward Americans.
 Reliable Americans reaching Douglas late today from Cananea said the only trouble in the district took place Mon day when a number of MeXicans footed the company store at PuertOcitos, a detached mine of the Cananea com pany. eight miles from the town.
 The looters were captured in the act by Mexican policemen and several were arrested. As Colonel Jesus Aguirre commander of the garrison at Cananea. had issued an order that every person captured in the act of footing should he executed. the broth or of one of the men arrested organ ized a rescue party which stormed the iail at Puertocitos Monday night. The policemen defended the iail and one of them was killed before they were over powered and the prisoners released.
 The rescue party and the prisoners then fled to the mountains, being pur- sued by a detachment of troops The outcome of the chase was not known in Cananea when the Americans who brought the news to the border left. They were unable to account for the etofament that there had been anti- American demonstrations.
 Thirty American employees of the Noctazura Copper Company at Ma cozari. left here today for NacoZari to resume their positions, abandoned four weeks ago.

CURRENCY OF
 CARRANZh |S
 TURNEDDOWN
Order of Gen. Gales Repu- diates the De Facto Fiat Money in State of Sonora; Act Is Blow to Civil Gov ernor de la Huerta
IRepublican A. p. Leased Wirel

DOUGLAS. Ariz., July 21.-An order amounting to the practical repudiation of CarranZa currency in Sonora, was issued today by General r. Elias Cal les. military commander of the state, when he announced that no merchant would hereafter be forced to accept it n exchange for goods.
 Since AdolfO de Ia Huerta has been governor of the state, merchants have lecn compelled to accept CarranZa currency at the stated rate of ten cents gold on the peso, although 1t could be purchased on the American side of the border for less than half as much. As a result merchants all oyer the state were forced out of bus mess, while company stores which re mained in operation perforce, allowed their stocks to run down to the min imum. IL is currently reported that tEe monetary situation was one of the matters discussed by Gales and De Ia Huerta in their recent conference in Agua PrieJa, the order being the re- suit. An order received here yesterday uy Consul Lelevier from the Mexican treasury department waiving both consular and customs duties on impor- tation of Mexican silver coinage, indi- catcs that the order of General Gales was given with the sanction of the ma uonal government.
 Payrons at Cananea, NacoZari and Fl Tigre have been met for several months with silver money or its equiv alent in gold. The same practice will be continued it is understood
 Whether the army in Sonora will all SO Ice paiG in silver is not known. At the present time soldiers are receiving their wages in the almost worthless CauanZa 'uncounterfeitable' bills at ;hc rate of ten cents gold on the paso It is considered certain here that the new order will make foJ disContent among the soldiers as it completes the destruction of such value as has hitherto attached to the Car ranza money in Sonora.
 General Gales intends to leave Sat urday or Sunday for Hermosillo and points south of there to reopen the Naqui Indian campaign.

SOMETHING NEW AT
 NIAGARA FALLS

The whirring aircraft of the 2Oth century -birdman has enabled it's dar- ing pilot to view many a sight not generally enjoyed by persons of less Venturesome natures. But this same whirring aircraft now has a strong competitor at Niagara and one of the birdmans rarest and most thrilling views, that of the Whirlpool from above, will be available to every per son visiting the Falls this year. This is due to the ingenuity of a Spanish syndicate which has just completed operations on the longest scenic aerial cableway in the world. This won derful undertaking is suspended from shore to shore, for a distance of 1900 feet, high above Niagara's seething maeIstrom. It is entirely a Spanish proposition, based on Spanish patents and backed by Spanish capital. The inventor and designer, Torrea y Quevi- do, a Spanish engineer, has gained considerable fame in European aero circles, and, while his principle, as used in connection with this new pro- ject, is not altogether an innovation, his is the first multiple-cable tramway to be devoted to passenger service. The cars operated along these multiple ca bles have a carrying capacity of forty five persons. Every possible precau- ton has been taken to make this aerial tramway, accident-proof, and many special safety devices have been in stalled.
 Another new feature at the Falls this year rivalling in interest the Aer- ia1 Galloway is the illumination at night of the American Falls and Rap ids above the Cataract. Successful experiments have been carried out and the permanency of the scheme is practically assured. Powerful incan- descent lamps have been effectually distributed at various points around Goat Island and American Falls, and every night this battery of lights is

keeper pointed to one of the rafters. Sure enough it was 7:~~ot1v in front of the new hole. It took a ladder and considerable lumber and a dozen men and the better part of an hour to saw the rafter in two and make new sup ports for that part of the building. By 10 o'clock it was all done and the audience sat down to see the show. Again Max mounted to his machine. He was too weary for speechmaking. He turned the crank. Somehow, it seemed a marvellous tIing that the picture was on the screen. At least, it was there for a minute, maybe for two. At 10:05 o'clock the engine broke down, the machine would not work and the lights went out. Sadly the audience lighted matches and found the way to the door. More sadly Max handed them their nickels and dimes as they passed.-Indianapo polls News.

ITALIANS ADOPT
 C0MMUNIST|C |. FARMING PLANS
Agriculturalists Will Be Elk
 empt from Service With Military.

/ Rome, Italy, June 29.-In order to solve problems of farm labor and farm production, Italy has introduced set of communistic measures that are stat ed to be more comprehensive than any of those yet devised by the various countries of Europe now at. war. By decree of the Minister of Agri- culture, the entire farming system of the country has been re-organized on a mutual basis by which land owners are forced to aid their tenants, by which projects of departments are re- quired to oversee the relations of both owner and tenant, by which the gov ernment itself is compelled to buy and loan machinery, and, finally by which which tenants must help each other and loan both machinery and labor.
 The decree provides for the exemp- ton from military service of the far mer if he be the only male left to till the soil. It also encourages the em- p1oynent of women labor the farm, giving them proper pay and permit ting them to make contracts of the character cusotmarily made in peace times with men 1aborers.
 Laborers are granted a seventy-fve per cent. reduction in railway fares, just as if on military service, that they may be shifted cheaply from one
 
 demands and the rotation of crops. Special courts to settle disputes be- tween laborers or farmers have been provided for each farming district.
 When tenant is forced to employ extra help, the land owner is required to pay one-ha1f of the wages of such help. Special commissions are also being established in each department to regulate the distribution of labor, of machinery, and of horses, mules, and oxen, no matter who the owner, so that the most pressing crops and har- vests may be attended to in time. These commissions are also empower ed to transfer such labor, machinery and animals from one province to an other.
 It is hoped these measures will keep up the normal production of the land which has recently suffered severely by the calling of farmers under arms. This present year the wheat crop of Italy is but 9.1 per cent. of last year, though 8 per cent. more than the av- erage of the five-year period of 19O9- 1913, when the yearly wheat import of Italy was valued at over $15,O00,- 900. From August last to the end of | March of this year, Italy imported more than twice as much wheat as for the preceding year.
 Brown bread has been the rule on all the tables of Italy for the past l four months. The price of wheat is more than twice what it is in the United States, being $8 the quinta1, or 1 $3 more per quintal than before the war.

Australia Ready to
 Receive Ex-Soldiers
 After European War

Sydney, Australia, June 29.-Sir Ri- der Haggard. the English nove1ist(and land settlement expert who is on a tour of British oversea doninions to investigate ways and means of placing British soldiers and sailors on the land after the war, sailed for New Zealand from here last week having finished his work in Australia. He will spend about a, month in New Zealand and will then go on to Canada.
 Speaking of his efforts in the Com monwealth, which involved 5000 miles travelling in about six weeks, he said they had been extraordinarily. success full.
 'tThe Queensland government he said 'is prepared to provide a million acres for agriculture for the settle nent of ex-service men from the Unit ed Kingdom. The New South Wales government by it's irrigation schemes will be enabled to increase it's settlers by about 1000 in two years and in this is prepared to put time-expired United Kingdom soldiers on the same footing as it's own men. Other states are also willing to extend to ex-ser- vice men from the United Kingdom the same advantages in land settle ment as they offer their own.
 When this war ends we. shall be faced suddenly with the problem of handling great numbers Of the 5,OOO,- 900 soldiers who will be released with changed ideals and changed spirits. Unless something is ready for them there will be great mistakes We can take a lesson from the emigration of 135,0O0 men from the nited Kingdom, to the United States after the Boer War;

HOW MIR. TAFT LOST 75 POUNDS

A majority of newspaper readers, who have seen photographs of this distinguished citizen slashing at a golf ball have a notion that he reduced his weight seventy-fve pounds by working overtime on the links Prof. Taft himself gives this practical ad- vice:
 T have lost seventy-five pounds since the 4th of March, 1915. Nv diet has not been severe. I have not drunk a great deal of water, not more than a glass or two at my meals; I have given up bread and toast and all farinaceous food, all butter and fat confined my meat to beef and mutton, and fowl, and eschewed pork and veal, have omitted fat fish, like sal mon and have taken no sweets of any sort. You can eat all vegetables but potatoes, and fruit that has not too much sugar. You ought to take moderate exercise every day. have tried to play a game of golf, or walk four or five miles each day. You ought not to lose too rapidly, because it is likely to injure the muscles of your heart if you do; and above all you ought to be examined by the best physician you can get. Don't get a quack- Have your physician exam inc you; then have him recommend a diet which, think, will be similar to will stand it. You may have some organic trouble that would make it unwise to attempt such diet. Don't do anything except under the obserV- ance of a physician, consulting him every ten days or two weeks. If he you stick to it, think you will re- duce your flesh. do not smoke or drink Intoxicating liquors" The Worlds Work.

played on the Cataract, producing an effect even more impressive than the grandeur of Niagara by day. The lights are arranged so that they do not mar or detract from the natural beauty of the scenery by day and this new and more attractive Niagara will mean a greater source of interest and an increased charm for the sight seer.
