SHOW DESERVED
 LARGER CROWD

Only a fair sized audience greeted Miss Fearless & Co.," at the high school auditorium last night, but nevertheless. because of her efforts and those of her friends it will be pos sible for the Y. w. C. A. delegates to attend the annual conference at Asil omar for which worthy object the play was given.
 There should have been a capacity house, but the girls of the High 'Y" club who gave the entertainment need not be downhearted for the play was excellent, it being the experiences of a party of girls in spook island. It contains ghosts, storm and other ingredients of first class spook play let
 The leading character, that of the heiress who is hostess to the party of girls, was excellently taken by Miss Norma Brazee. Miss Brazee was giv- en splendid support by Evelind Yates, Mae Richards, Ethel Hoisinger, Pearl Holsinger, Frances Kuthe, Carrie Spangler, Emily Winborne, Gertrude Shepherd and Lizzie Carpenter.

By special arrangement with A. Mandl, land attorney, The Arizona Republican will conduct a Land Department. Not only will Attor- ney Mandl, through the Republi- can, attempt to answer questions of general interest relating to pub lie lands, federal and state, but he also proposes to place this depart ment without charge at the serv- ice of all homestead entrymen who have enlisted in or been called to the service of our country.

PACKARD |S GIVEN
 GOVERNMENT ORDER

Three thousand 3-ton chainless trucks have just been ordered by the United States war department from the Packard Motor Car company. This is the second quantity order placed by the government with the Packard within 10 days and brings the total of the two orders up to 4.S00 trucks representing money value of more than S16,000, ,000
 This is a big task the government has laid on us," said President Alvan Macauley, but it is met with an equal ly big demonstration of loyal determi- nation among the executives of our manufacturing division, the superin- tendents and foremen and the workmen of the truck factory to see the job through on time.
 We of the Packard feel that the placing of this order is distinct indi- cation of Detroit's importance in the governments plan for successful pros ecution of the war The center of the worlds motor industry is to be. judg- ing from these orders, the center of Americas war transportation industry. That means great deal when you stop to consider that this war is primarily a war of machines, food and transpor- tation"
 The latest order like the earlier one for 1900 trucks, specifics the Pack ards standard 3-ton, and delivery is apportioned for the months between now and the early part of 1918. There are already 1,250 Packard trucks in United States army, navy and marine corps service. and with the delivery of these there will be more than 5000. The bulk of those now in service in the American army were produced for work on the Mexican border last year It was a Packard truck train that first reached Pershing's famishing army in | the interior of Mexico, and no doubt one of the few familiar sights that greeted the eyes of Black Jacks fighters when they reached Europe was the Packard transport line under | the tricolor of France.

 SAYSSPEEDCOP

As a result of an alleged attempt to burn up the paving on Van Buren street between the asyium and Park road. Miss M V. Fraley, Miss Ruth Hess and Earl Miller, were arrested by Deputy E. J. Warren on charge of speeding, last night. They were ordered to appear in Justice Wheeler's S court at 9:3O this morning.
 Deputy Warren states that he was returning from Tempe when the trio drove past them in their Buick road ster at a pace which fairly made him feel that he had been tied to post somewhere along the route. Convinced beyond doubt that they were infring- ing on the laws of the fair county of Maricopa, he speeded up and after ouite chase succeeded in capturing them near the Park road. The officer claims that they were travelling 35 miles an hour.

At tho same time that the call for cash hcoEn was fading away, the offerings from rural sources appeared to be on the increase Under such circumstances, weakness intensi- fled during the late dealings.
 A declining tendency in the wheat market was noticeable from the out set and especially after attention had been generally directed to the fact that the minimum price of s2 in the food control bill would not go into effect until July 1, 1918. There had been a somewhat mistaken impression that the s2 minimum would apply on this year s crop.
 Oats went heavily down grade in sympathy with corn. Domestic thresh- ing returns continued very favorable and Ontario was reported to have a record crop.
 Despite the drop in corn values, pro- visions showed much strength. The main reason was an advance of 25 cents in the hog market, lifting choice hogs to SIS hundredweight, the top most price ever known.

Answers to Questions

Mrs. M. L. The land you have in quired about is in Deer valley. I am afraid that if you succeeded in secur- ing a sufficient water supply to irri- gate SO acres you could hardly hold the land under the Stock Grazing Homestead law, the only law now per hitting entry for as much as $40 acres. At one time the desert land law al- lowed entries for not exceeding GAO acres, but they have now been reduced to not exceeding 320 acres.
 $. c. You are not required to he a resident of this state to make stock grazing homestead for any land herein
 P. N. Any agreement for the sale of any part of your land before you make entry renders it subject to con- test.
 NJ w H. If the land you proved up on in Colorado and the land you de- sire to file on in this state as an ad- ditional homestead entry have both been designated the latter will be al lowed, otherwise not; at least not prior to designation of both If both tracts have not been designated file a petition for the undesignated tract. Have a reputable land specialist pre- pare your papers, though if you are qualified to do so you may make them out yourself. Read the above article for further answer to your questions.

Protect Baby's Skin With CutiCura Soap

If mothers would only use Cuticura Soap and Ointment for everyday toilet and nursery purposes how much suffer- ing might be avoided by preventing little skin and scalp troubles becoming serious. Cuticura Soap is so pure, sweet and cleansing and Cuticura Ointment so soothing and healing, that it is pity not to use them all the time. Give baby hot bath with Cuticura Soap, dry and apply Cuticura Ointment to any rashes,
 irritations, chafng, etc. Instant relief usually follows and baby falls into re- freshing sleep. For sample each free by return mail address postcard: "Cu- ticura, Dept. .13G, Boston," Sold every where. Soap 25c. Ointment 25 and Soc.

entry hereunder, provided that all of the land applied for has been desig- mated. Where a person has already made a homestead entry for less than 160 acres for land not designated he may enter as additional homestead under the Enlarged Homestead law for twice as many acres as the diff ference between the amount of land he has filed on and 160 acres. However, before the original homestead entry has been proved up an additional en- try can be made only for land con- tiguous to it, while after proof the ad- ditional entry need not be for con- tguOus land.
 Aside from the above, the require ments and manner of filing enlarged homesteads are essentially the same as those affecting entries made under the general homstead laws. The next article in this series will appear in the issue of The Republican | Of August Is, 1917.

VERY INTERESTING STATISTICS

To ascertain the extent to which
railroad employees of foreign birth
subscribed to the first Liberty Loan,
a special investigation has been com
pleted on the directly operated lines
81 the Pennsylvania railroad east of
Pittsburgh and Erie.S The result of
this inquiry shows that out OF total
Of 16O,127 employees, in all depart
ments, 25,827 were born in foreign
countries. There were. among all the
employes-both native and foreign
born-52.7s2 subscriptions. totaling
more than s3,40O,OOO.
Nearly one in three Of the foreign
born employees was found to have
been a Liberty bond purchaser. The
exact number OF subscribers Of alien
birth was s.146. or almost 80 per cent
Of the total foreign born. This was
within per cent Of the proportion
cE employees of American birth who
subscribed.
The inquiry also brought out the
