DANGEROUS bUC REPORTED TO bE:
 HARM|NG SEEDS

A cotton pest, which perhaps should i not yet be dominated as pest, hut | merely as strange insect has been discovered and reported by E. W. Hud- i son. field expert for the Goodyear Tire 1 company and formerly in charge of l government cotton experiments at Sac 1 aton and elsewhere in the southwest. | The insect is a small maggot which at | tacks the seed when it has begun to
 germinate and then eats its way into | the seed destroying it. It has been found in several parts of the valley. l it's ravage5 have been serious in only
 one field east of Mesa where replanting
 will be necessary. Garnett Holmes has ] discovered it in a cotton field of his
 west of the city.
 The insect has not been identified. l It has so far been discovered only in 1 fields that had long been planted to | alfalfa and it is suspected that it is an 1 insect that had preyed upon alfalfa
 roots and then turned it's attention to l the cotton seed. In order that the range l of it's activities may be determined MT. | Hudson suggests that cotton growers
 whose crops have not yet come up or
 are not coming up well, investigate and | if they find the presence of the maggot,
 report to pr. A. w. Morrill,, state ento- | mologiSt.
 There is no cause for alarm, says Mir. Hudson, at least as far as the coming crop is concerned. Except wlfere the 1 insect has been at cork the cotton l planted some time ago is up and doing
 we'll Many of the plants already have i four leaves. The indications are that i the crop will be a heavy one.
 The last of the cotton is now being planted. The acreage in the valley this year will be 35,00U against between
 coco and 1000 last year. About 5000
 of this years acreage will be in Pima
 cotton, the rest in the slightly inferior but high grade Egyptian cotton that has already made the valley famous. | The total acreage in the state will be 1 4O,000 including this valley, the Yuma
 valley, Palo Verde, Sacaton and Casa | Grande
 l The next thing to think of, and wor- | thy of the most serious thought wilt De
 the picking of the cotton next fall 1 While there are enough laborers in the 1 valley in the present stage to handle
 it, 10000 more hands will be needed next fall. The new immigration law with it's literacy test will make the se-
 curing of this needed help the more diff ficult and he urges a concert of effort ] by the growers, the chambers of com
 merce and all citizens to secure a modi- 1 flcatlon or suspension of the law along
 the southern border whence the greater part of the help in the cotton fields must come.

DOLLY MADISON SERVED ICE CREAM

Ice cream was certainly first served in the United States by Dolly Madison the wife of President Mad- son. and it has often been said that invented the popular dessert A writer in the Illustrated World however, says that the first ice cream was made by Gunton a London confectioner. But GuntOn's method of freezing was crude and uncertain and it remained for Nancy Johnson. the wife of American naval officer to invent the ice freezer.
 The ice cream business has far outgrown the small hand freezer Vast quantities frozen by special machinery. The industry has become so great that fortunes have been made out of it. Last year. &C., cordlng to the Indianapolis News the American peo- pie consumed 250 million gallons which figured at only dollar and a quarter q gallon means a busi- ness of more than 300 million dollars-Youths Com panOn.

 1T COMMISSION
 |S QUESTIONED

The jurisdiction of the Arizona Cor poration commission to SuperiVse the sale of investment stocks, bonds or securities by others than the corpora tions themselves was questioned by the Great Verde Extension Syndl- cate at a hearing conducted by the commission yesterday morning.
 Members of the syndicate were cited to appear before the commls
 sion and show cause why stocks purchased enbloc frcm the Great Verde Extension Copper company at figure authorized by the commits sion should be sold without proper authority from the commission. Facts in the case, as put forth at the Rearing, were that several months ago the corporation commission gave the Great Verde Extension Copper company permit to sell 75O,0OO shares of stock at certain figure The Great Verde Extension syndi-
 cate was organized and purchased this stock en bloc and then put it on the market
 It is the contention of the com pany that the stock was legally pur chased and is being legally sold, there being no irregularities whatsoever i'll the transactions. Therefore, it is
 argued, the corporation commission has no jurisdiction to act in the mat
 ter as the company has no connec- | ticn whatsoever with the mine.
 The corporation commission. not
 withstanding. claims the right to su- i pervise the sale of any investment
 stocks, bonds or securities in the
 state, regardless of whether or not
 it is the investment company selling l the stock or q syndicate.
 | An interesting bit of evidence was l brought out during the hearing when i NJ. Morgan testified that he had met | Commissioner Cole and had invited | rendered the corporation commis sionel as an unsolicited gift block 1 of stock in the Great Verde mine on 1 behalf of the extension syndicate in l appreciation of coUrtcsies extended l He said that MT Cole had not hirted
 or suggested any such gift, but when | directly asked as to whom the stocl;
 should be made cut to, had suggested l the name of his, Coles wife. The stock was issued to her the witness
 testified, and sent to her. Two letters
 were subsequently, written asking ac-
 acknowledgement of the stock but were
 not answered then. some time later | the stock was returned
 Commissioner Cole stated that MT | Morgan'S statement was substantially l accurate. That when the matter Ol ! the gift was first suggested he had not had much time to think it ovei
 and it had seemed all right, but that
 after thinking it over he had decided
 that it was not the thing to do and
 SO had asked his wife to return the ! stock, which she had done.

One thing that has added much this past year to the beauty of the place was the carrying out of the plans of the distinguished landscape architect, Paul Thiene for the bungalow park which now adjoins the hotel on the west and the building of the group of cottages which, if the simile be not too poetic, lie in its midst like cluster of gray pearls in bank of emeralds.

Where the People
 May Have Hearing
Save the Grain

Dear MT. Editor:
 Many thanks for the editorial pro- testing against our government putting itself in the most humiliating and dis graceful attitude that stained a na- tion. by it's proposal to keep on re- ceiving the blood money from the manufacture of intoxicating liquors
 If all the editors. preachers, states men and others who are clear visioned enough and sane enough to see the shame and the stupidity of the combi- nation, would write and speak and protest with a strong and fearless manner against this waste and shame, l think we would force the administra- tion to not only refuse to be drugged with the hope of higher revenue, but to stop absolutely during the war the manufacture and sale of the stuff.
 We are at war. We did not want war, but it seemed that it must be war or accept the alternative of skulking like a whipped dog.
 We are told by a thousand authori- ties that our danger is not German guns, but actual starvation.
 Our wheat crop will be 2O0,000,000 bushels short this year. The crop in France will be short 125,000,000 bush els In fact the whole world seems to be facing the most serious shortage ever known in food stuffs. England is actually blowing up her parks ana planting them to grain.
 But last year we wasted 135 000 000 bushels of grain in the manufacture of poison and drugged swill Then some fool people paid $2,200, GOO, ,000 for this poison and slop. The indirect loss in time, court costs, destruction of prop erty by drunken people is estimated at 2 1 been as much as the $1 COG, 000 900 just
 voted by this country to carry on the war
 This grain that was destroyed by these patriots" would have made twelve billion pounds of bread. enough to give every man, woman and child in
 the nation a third of a pound of bread
 every day in the year. In other words, our people could be fed their daily i bread out of the grain that is de-
 stroyed in the manufacture of that ] which costs us an additional burden of seven billion dollars.
 1 Some wisdom that Great people, 1 keen business sense displayed by that | kind of a deal!
 Let the good people of the state con- i time to send in petitions of all kinds ! to President Wilson and to our repre- ! sentatives at Washington. especially i Carl Hayden, urging them to do all 1 they can to not only oppose any alli- ance with booze that will give it more ! of a grip upon the nation, but to put I it out of existence while this war lasts 1 Qf we can do that. it will never get i back)
 Three weeks ago, the Arizona Sun ! day School Association began securing
 resolutions from the churches of the state and sending them in to President
 Wilson and Carl Hayden and we are 1 still doing it. Let every church and
 Sunday school that has not, pass a ! strong resolution and either send it di ! rect to Washington or send it to the i general secretary of the s. s. Assn | l416 E. Mckinley St, Phoenix. and they will be sent to the proper place al { once.

Yellow Ticket
Stunt Results
In L.OudROarS

The indignity of being served with
yellow alien tickets upon arrival in
San Francisco recently proved the last
straw to the patience OF the Ameri-
can passengers, who had been de-
prived of news and not overly we'll
fed during the twenty-dey voyage from
an eastern port, says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle.
The immigration rules require pas.
sengers Of all foreign ships be given
tickets before the vessels dock-white
tickets to American citizens, who are
allowed ashore at once, and yellow
tickets to all aliens, who are investi-
gated before they are permitted to
land.
The steamer arriving recently a
Dutch liner, made her initial entry
into this port, and the purser, ignoran:
Of the rules, issued yellow tickets to
everybody on board.
The tickets were finally arranged in
proper colors at the dock, but not be-
fore the alleged thickness of skulls
in general and the purser's in partic
ular had been. Indignantly advertised
to the world at large.
