Making Better Seed Ends

Mr.. Farmer, you appreciate the
fact that inorder to receive the most
returns from your crops you must
see to it that you give the land the
best of attention and prepare it so
as to give the seed the best chance
to take root and to get the needed
moisture when it begins to grow.
When you prepare your land, just
remember that there are two sides
to seed bed, the top or exposed side
and the lower or out of sight side,
next to the sub-soil. The top may
look al right, all the stubble and
weeds turned under by the plow.
Anyone would say the field was we'll
plowed. True enough, but clean
blowing isn't all there is to making
the right kind of a seed bed. In
blowing up field of stubble to get
the best results and make an extra
good seed bed, first disc your land
and then the ground that is turned
under has been worked up and is
ready to give you the results for your
labor.

AMPLE TIME TO SAVE ALL ON
 TRE LAURENT|C.
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

A. r. Leased wire
 LONDON, Jan. 31. - There was ample time to save all on board the British auyiliary' cruiser Laurentic which was sunk bN mine off the north coast of Ireland last Thursday, says an official statement issued to- day, contradicting repCrts to the con- trary. The fatalities were due to severe weather preventing some in the boats reaching shore, it adds.
 Captain R. A. Norton, who was in command of the Laulentic, told the story of the loss of the ship at the inquest today over the bodies of sev- entyfour men of the crew, held at an unnamed city. He said:
 The vessel left port at o'clock on the afternoon of January 25, car rying complement of 470. At 5:55 o'clock l was on the bridge, when q violent explosion occurred abreast the foremast on the port side, followed twenty seconds later by a similar eX- plosion abreast the engine room on the port side. Nothing was seen in the water prior to the explosion. The ship was steaming at full speed ahead No lights were showing.
 T ordered full speed astern. tired rocket. gave the order to turn out the boats and tried to send a wire less call for help. but found that the second explosion had stopped the dynamo.
 The coroner asked how many sur Vivors there were.
 One hundred and twenty" Captain Norton replied "To the best of my knowledge all the men got safely into the boats. The pest of order pre- vailed after the explosion. Officers anc mel lived up to the best trad- tions of the navy.
 About fortN-fiVe minutes after the explosion, prior to leaving the ship, 1 went around the vessel below with an electric torch and satisfied myself that there were no more men in the ship. The vessel was then very low in the water When at last entered waiting life boat, pumping danger 1usly alongside, the ship was sinking, bur owing 10 the darkness and rough weather we did not actually see her
 Were there any people killed abuard?" asked the coroner.
 Possibly some were killed in the engine room, but I have been unablc to ascertain that owing to the fact that no survivors are left of the men on watch. l know that all the men got up from The stoke-hold The deatks were all due to exposure owing to the coldnese of the night My own boat was almost full of wate.s when we were picked ur by a trawler the next morning."

 Approves of Town Ditch
 Dr. Allan H. Williams. who was the next speaker, confined his remarks principally to the Town Ditch. He made the remarkable statement that the water of the town ditch is not in- sanitary. as is being claimed by so many people. He explained that run ming water such as goes through the Town Ditch is always clean and prob ably fit to drink. He advocated wid- ening the canal, putting in artificial waterfalls building parks along it's bank, and having running stream of clear clean water through the heart of the city the year round
 Judoe Richard E. Sloan. raised the question as to whether or not the question of Civic Center was prac- ticable. He questioned it very much, and advocated the sale of the Central School block, and the purchasing of the block north of the group of public buildings on First Avenue He also stated that the only way to get rid of the Town Ditch with it's menace to health, was to bury it in a cement con- duit. He took exception to Dr. Will Hams plan of widening the ditch. stat ing that it would cost too much. and that it was in no way practicable.
 Eugene Brady O'Neil who exclaimed that it was -~vs his privilege to throw Q monkey wrench into the ma chinery, took exception with every one who had spoken. He stated that the Civic Center plan was far in the future and impracticable. and that the town ditch was a menace and the worst smelling clean Wf'ter he had ever come in oort"ot with.
 John H. Hampton. Dr. Robert F Brownfield, Franklin D. Lane and several others spoke. They all united in ~avin~ +hat it would he better to sell the Central school block. using the new school buildings. and purchasing the property north of the Federal building to he used as a Civic Center. They explained that the property they advocated could be bought for one fourth the price of the Central School lot, and was twice as large.

 MRS. EARL CURTIS-There is only one place for Civic Center and that is the school property. If we are to have city beautiful the public build in9s should be grouped.
 MRS. R. C. DRYER-A splendid place for a Civic Center. By all means let us have our center on the school property.
 MRS. JOHN DENNETT-I feel that we have an unusual opportunity to add to the beauty of our city by the start ing of a civic center on our Central school grounds and I believe it is our duty to exert every effort to favor the move.

latures.
 The reports of the standing commit tees indicated some friction within the judiciary committee which found itself variously divided on several measures as was shown by majority and minor ity reports on almost every bill that had been submitted to it. The first was the measure providing that d candidate for office receiving at the primary d majority of all the votes east should be declared elected was objected to by the majority on ,he ground that il was in conflict with the constitution A minority report faY- ored is passage anyhow. A third re port recommended an amendment of the bill so that a candidate receiving a majority of all the votes cast should have his name on all the tickets at the general election. The committee was divided on a half dozen other bills.
 A communication Mhs received from Governor Campbell asking for list of the offices and institutions from which reports had been presented to the legislature. This information was af.Ogded and then the message of the governor or the recommendations con- tuined in it were distributed among the proper standing committees.
 The following new bills were intro duced:
 By Mir. Foster of Cochise, a substi- ute for the bill regulating the ap- ointment of deputy sheriffs and police officers so that they could not be ap- pointed for service other than that con ,emplated by law
 By MT. O'Neill of Cochise, amend ing the law for the regulation of po!ice courts.
 By MT. Davis of Pinal, for the TeSu- iation of professional pursuits, simi- lar bill already having been brought into the senate.
 By Mrs O'NeiH of Maricopa, for d remodeling of the educational code.
 By MT. Houser of Gila. defining un- fair discrimination in the sale of com modities of general use.
 By Mcssrs. Eddy and Edwards of Yuma, appropriating $5,O00 for each of the ensuing years, for the Yuma coun- ty fair.
 On the motion of Mir. Fares of Gila. who had called q meeting of the chairman of all the s;anding commit. should hcnccfcrth hold no Saturday sessions but that the time should be devoted to committee business.
 The Committee of the Whole
 The northern Arizona fair bill having been faVorably disposed Of in the committee of the whole in the morn ing, the committee sat again in the afternoon and took up the southern Arizona fair bill. Mir. Richardson, the author spoke first in favor of it. He said that he would refer the committee to the remarks of Speaker Johns in the morning in favor of his bill and
Arizona republican., 1917-02-01

he assumed that the debate would run along the same general lines. But that was a violent assumption. MT. Lines of Graham said that there was a df- ference. Yavapai countv he said, was not the recipient of any state favors while Pima was the chief beneficiary of state appropriations. Then ensued a debate on the university as an ad- iunct of a town. NIT Richardson was not sure that it was d real financial benefit. Mir Peterson of Graham re- piled that if Pima would leI Graham have it. he would be willing to V0tC for the southern Arizona fair bill.
 There was not as much sentiment in favor of the bill among the members from the south as had been expected. Most of them, among them MT. Hughes of Cochise and MT. Peterson. disclaimcd any interest in it whatever. Mir. Eddy of Yuma, however. $" oke ir favor of it on the general ground thai all fairs are beneficial not only to the communities in which they are held. but that they are feeders for the state fair. Mir Baxter of Maricopa opposed the bill and Mir. Goodwin favored it. MT Davis related an anecdote of a man who had fastened a cows tail tO himself in order to prevent her from polluting the milk by switching flies. After he had been dragged twice around the barn he expressed the view that he suspected that he had made a mistake. MT, Davis believed that the state had made a mistake in making appropriations in the past for these outside fairs.
 Mir. Buehman of Pima rose to the defense of the bill but the longer the loko hn tI, jority seemed to be getting against it and when it was at last brought to a vote a majority of II to 19 was found to be against it.
 The committee reported faVorably on the bill to amend the laws relating to the distribution of the bulletins of the school of mines.
 The last bill taken up was that of Mir Foster for the protection of min CTS employed on power or machine drills. The bill provides that if q miner operating one of the drills is more than fifty feet from other persons working in the mines he must have compan- ion as sort of lookout A long dis cussion of the need of that legislation followed. It was stated that the mine inspector did not favor it. At length it was allowed to lie over for day without losing it's place on the calen- dar The inspector will be given an opportunity to be heard today.
 The Senate In Session
 The senate held only morning ses- sion. It adopted the house memorial to congress on the subject of federal prohibition legislation. Several new bills were introduced, among them the state shelter measure. Others were as follows:
