named were the most popular fruits for the state as a whole.-LThe only marked increase in the planting of any kind of trees was shown by olives which in creased from 24145 to 44,951. Home nurseries produced 5S per cent of the total number of trees planted during the fiscal year.
 Ninety six and eight -tenths per cent of all plant importations inspected were passed as free from insect pests and plant diseases. This is the best record since the inspection of crown gall and other plant diseases were added to the duties of the inspection service by the revised crop pest law in 1912.
 Long Lists of Pests
 A table giving the results of inspec- tiOn of importations of nursery stock and other living plants shows a long list of pests found by inspectors on such importations. These pests in clude the citrus white fly, found in three shipments; woolly apply aphis. found in thirteen shipments; the east ern peach tree borer, found in three shipments; and crown gall found in twenty mine shipments Nearly twen- ty additional pests are mentioned in this list.
 Importations of nursery stock and other living plants during the fiscal year came from thirtyfiv different states and from three hundred and seventy shippers. A table is given showing the relative standing of the forty nurseries which made more than ten shipments each into the state dur ing the fiscal year. Twenty-one of the forty had no shipments condemned as a whole or in part while the other nineteen had from one to thirteen shipments each condemned as a whole or in part representing from 1.2 to 40

Figures reaching the Arizona chapter of the American mining congress in- dicate total copper production for Arizona in April of close around co., 900, 900 pounds. Inspiration. Ray Con solidated and Jerome have been strong on the upward side. Deducting the increased cost of over-ocean delivery under the contracts entered into last fall at around 27 cents, and making allowance for deliveries to the United States government by Arizona pro- ducers at 16% cents, actual returns on Arizona copper output in April figure around s14,000000 as against $1S,000,- 000 if the quoted market price of 30 cents were being received.

HOW MANY ARE CRIMINALS?

The New York World expresses
presses surprise because report Of
the Illinois bureau Of criminal statis-
tics shows that only per cent OF the
population OF that state Is arrested
annually and only per cent is con-
Victed OF crimes and misdemeanors.
The reason for it's surprise at this
small showing is that Illinois is one
OF those states where the making Of
laws 10 regulate petty matters or con-
duct has developed into a craze. This
II the legislative policy which gives
ten opportunities for breaking some
Kind OF a law to where one existed
before. II Is the kind of policy that
makes the average citizen who seeks
to respect the law uncertain every
day OF his life that he will not DO
called TO account for the infraction
OF some statute he had overlooked.
Under these circumstances IL liz pass
ing strange that the strength OF police
forces should not need doubling and
jails enlarged. The reason ls not be-
cause these petty statutes are not fire.
quenty broken, but because nopody
expects a great many OF them to be
enforced. They remain n dead letter
on the law books until occasion offers
where one can be invoked 10 satisfy
some petty grudge. They were NOT
even passed with the expectation or
being enforced. but because some
politician wanted to placate bunch
OF jealous petitioners back home by
giving them the appearance OF what
they asked for. Illinois IN not one
whit ahead Of Oklahoma on that
score.

EGG OF THE PHOENIX FOUND
Chinese Claim That II Was Laid by
the IIO-Ho Bird

Naturalists doing field work in
China for American museums p,ckec
up an egg of the Phoenix-the Fung-
Whang or Ho-Ho bird II has lust
been mounted and placed on puDnc
view in the museum of natural history
in New York. Examination and com
parison by the museum staff have re-
suited in the decision that disregard
ing popular legend, the immense egs,
forty times the size of the egg or the
domesticated hen, is that of a gigantic
prehistoric ostrich. Two imperfect
eggs OF this fossil ostrich are in exist
ence and are owned by museums in
the United States, but this is the only
perfect one known-"perfect" the
museum announces. with the excep-
ton of a small holo thru which the
original contents may have disap-
peared."
Its diScoNerer was n peasant in the
province of Honan. .>China, who one
day found II sticking in the bank of
the Yellow river, and kept it as q cur
,osity, treasured 1t as the egg of the
legendary Phoenix, which is still
reverei by designers of Chinese decor
ations. The fossil shell was filled with
water when II arriver at the museum
and was found TO have a capacity of
trifle more than two quarts. Two
quarts of albumen, yolk and proto-
piasmic material-say four pounds of
fcodstuff! Evidence that the high
cost Of living was one Of the modern
things ancient China did rot invent
No scientist has ever seen a bone or
remnant of the biped which laid
oViods like this one from the mud OF
Yellow river. 1t may he imagined that
the travelling naturalists had some
difficulty in acquiring it, for the
Phoenix to which 1t was locally at
tributed stands in Chinese art and ira
dition as the symbol of immortality
and resurrection. Farther west one
of the legends of the bird has been
that every five hundred years it flew
out Of Ara abia old and decrenit to He'll
opolis, and there on an altar burned
itself and rose from its ashes young
and beautiful once more. No bad
symbol for the China of the present
hour.

FRENCH HOLD LINES
IN FACE OF CHARGE
Two Hundred Germans Cap
tured in Fighting Around
Hertebise District.

on THE FRENCH FRONT IN
FRANCE, Sunday, Sept. 2.-All day
today the Germans tried vainly to dis
lodge the French from the positions
at Hurtebise captured on Friday night
but their incessant efforts resulted
only in increasing their already heavy
casualty lists. The French, who dis
played such dash in their successful
attack on this strong point, proved
themselves equally the masters in its
defense. They submitted to the most
vigorous boInbardment while consol-
idating their gains and remain un-
shaken in morale by the thousands Of
shells which are continuing tonight to
fall on the conquered terrain.
During the operation two hundred
Germans were captured. including
seven officers. Eight machine guns
also were taken. The prisoners de-
clare the French artillery preparation
reduced. the effectives of the German
companies holding the front lines to
forty men each.
The French now occupy the north
ern edge of the Hurtebise plateau and
hold all the observation points.
The French infantry engaged IN the
victorious attack advanced with ir-
resistible dash. The airmen particu-
larly distinguished themselves in this
operation, descending low enough--to
fight the German infantry with ma
chine guns and also wiping out all the
gunners OF one of the German bat

Infantryman still a RifIcman.

: Happily the military authorities
have not been misled by the results
achieved by the big guns, the bombs
and the various missile throwing
trench weapons into imagining that
the infantry soldier has ceased, or
was likely to cease, to be primarily
a rifleman, and the good work which
was initiated before the war at Hythe
and at Bisley, and at regimental rifle
meetings, has been continued and ex-
panded at the many musketry schools
which have been established behind
the front in France, where selected
officers and men of our forces have
been taught all that was to be got out
of the service weapon. The result has
been shown in the account we hear
of the wonderful rifle practice made
by our troops in the fighting around
Bullecourt, reminding us of the stories
that used to reach us during the re-
treat from Mons of how German mass
attacks withered up under the fire of
our infantry Of the old army.
