FACTS AND FIGURES THAT ARE

Sat few people in this part of tho
country have anything like a complete
idea OF what comes from n ton or cot
ton seed when il goes through the
mills. The oil mill man gets several
products from the seed. the two most
important. Of course. being Tho oil! and
the meal. From fortN-ome to forty
fonr gallons Of oil arc secured from
ono ton Of seed. The oil content OF
tn" seed. however. varies quite a bit,
from wear 10 year. Some varieties Of
seed carry more oil than others. The

REGULATIONS OF
 CLAMPITT EXPAND
 IN SOME OPiNIOkS

That R. A. Clampit's peculations extended over period of some four teen months. is the opinion of several people who claim to have talked with the former assistant postmaster be- fore his departure for Tucson, where he is now in jail. Clampitfs exact shortage is not known, excepl to tho postoffice officials. and no statement can be elicited from them.
 Clampitt was taken to Tucson on Monday evening by Deputy United States Marshal James Mcdonald Some misunderstanding has resulted from the sta, ement yesterday that Night Sergeant J. A. Kempton made the arrest of Clampitt alone. Both McDonad and Sergeant Kempton went 70 the property of the Louisiana- Arizona Copper company. some seven miles west of Bisbee on the Tomb. stone road, and af CT some maneuver- ing Kempton was taken to the spct where Clampitt was staying. It is un- derstood that the former postoffice of ficial did not want to remain in jail in Bisbee and did not wish to come into the city during the daylight Kempton. in order to make the arrest without any trouble, agreed that Clam pitt should be brought down after nightfall and until he went to Tucson should not be placed in jail.
 When Kempton and Clampitt came to the place where Mcdonald was standing the party broke in two. one coming to Bisbee in one machine and the others coming in the other car. ,Kempton rode with Clampitt and Me Donald with the balance of the men who were out in the canyon. Any in- ference that Mcdonald was anything but efficient and active in the case would be implying that which is ob- viously untrue. s4sr
 Clampitt was arraigned in the Unit ed States federal court yesterday. The grand jury is now in session and an indictment will undoubtedly be re turned against him. It is thought certain that his trial will be held during the present term of federal court. He was unable to furnish bond.

Nine BOOtIeggers
 Are Arrested

The sheriff's office yesterday round ed up eight bootleggers, the majority of whom are still in jail unable to furn- ish bond. Those arrested are Mrs. Maude McNeal of Lowell. Mrs Joe Bit elmo of South Bisbee, Mrs. Pat McEi- vov of Bisbee, Lee Penrod, John Bax- ter; Jack StoltZ, Paul Roat and Arshin Omr. All of the above with the excep- tion of Omr were arrested on warrants issued out of the superior court charg- ed with selling intoxicating liquors Omr was caught coming back rom Douglas with a suit case full Of whis- key. He was caught at Osborn.
 Three of the accused were taken to Tombs oone last evening by Deputy Sheriff James Cannon and the others will be taken over today. Those taken over yesterday were Mrs. Joe Bitelmo. Jack Stoltz and Paul Roat. The others are in jail or were last night. An ef- fort is being made on the part.of some of them to secure bail. With these ar rests made and the arrest Monday or Nathan Wright the officers believe that they have broken up part of the gapg that has been selling the booze in the District. Three women were caught in the drag net They seem to take 1t for granted that because the court has been lenient with others of their sex who have been caught violating the law that they can do so without the serious consequences. In fact accord ing to reports one woman of Lowell who was given a suspended sentence on condition that she leave the state and was later allowed to come back on condition that she obey the law, is now said to be running a disrespectable place near Lowell and that liquor is be- ing sold there, but so far the officers have been unable to catch her in the act of selling.

 Major McComb's promotion may take him from his present command at any moment. His commission reads as a promotion to a major of infantry. This may be taken to mean that he will soon leave his present command, possibly to go back to the 35th in fantry or to some other unit of the regular army.
 Major McComb was stationed at Douglas for many months with the 14th infantry. He has had long rec ord behind him and comes of one of the best known military families in the United States.
