Need of Increased Water Supply.

In a study of the cattle ranges throughout the state of Arizona, the water supply will not per their maximum carrying capa city. Cattle are required in many cases, to travel miles for water which not only tramples the grass under foot, but takes the time and energy of the cattle when it should be used in gather ing grass, browse or other food for the maintenance of the body. The ranges of Arizona are not overstocked. Large areas are made practically worthless for grazing purposes by the absence of water.
 With a growing demand and the increased price for range cattle it is becoming necessary for the grazing lands to be stock ed to their maximum carrying capacity, and this connot pos sibly be obtained until an in crease in the number of water ing places is provided. It does not matter how fine the grass and forage may be, cattle will not thrive unless they have plenty of accessible drinking water.
 Several things must be taken into consideration in the locating of the watering places; that is, the character of the range over which the stock is compelled to travel tO roach water whether it be mountainous or level, rocky or tim bered. In mountainous or rocky districts stock should not

BIGGEST MAN IN ARIZONA.

Tony Friberg, the biggest man in Arizona, who has been in Tom bstone on jury service, re, turned to his home in Bisbee to- day, having been excused by Judge Lockwood. Friberg, who Is known as the Big Swede, is a man of immense stature, is an Elk and has resided at Bisbee for. many years. He has travel ed the world over and is jovial and happy. To save trouble he carries a card with him with number of queries answered be- fore hand which he usually hands to a new acquaintance, answering anticipated questions, such as: Yes, I am eight feet tall, weigh a sixth of a ton, am healthy, eat the Jest my money can buy, yes, my bat is 74, my collar IS, sleep well, and you will do me an injustice to mention rheumatism" Friberg makes hit everywhere he goes, especial " with the kids who call him the giant, and while in Tombstone his visit was no exception.

plans to enlist the nations house
wives as actual members OF the food
administration. Registration of every
woman in the United States through
the council Of national defense and
the state defense councils was pro-
posed by Hoover. He set the period
from July to July Is to accomplish
the registration and appealed to the
women OF America TO join him in the
task of conserving food and eliminat-
ing waste.
AS requested by the president. s.

in the personal control OF food to reg

Estimates from the u reserve dis
tricts, some OF them unofficial, but
mostly from local loan committees
indicated that the subscriptions might
reach $2.sS2. 700. 900. These estimates
which were not vouched for as au-

New York. $1,2oo.o00,o 900. with the
certainty that the Offering would far
exceed $1,000. 900 900.
