POPULAR YOUNG
 WOMAN CALLED BY REAPER
(From Saturdays Daily.)


 The death summons came to Mrs. May Josephine McFarlan, wife of | H. A. McFarlan and daughter of Mrs. NJ. ]. Hickey, in this city yesterday. Her loss will evoke sincere expres- sions of sorrow in this community, where she was born and where her life ended under circumstances which are pathetic.
 The affliction was pcritonitis, and her illness dates back to last June when she was brought home from Phoenix to be with relatives and friends. Through her ordeal she bore her sufferings uncomplainingly and to the last she maintained com posture which occasioned many to eN- press their affection for one who in sickness maintained the same de- meanor as in health.
 Mrs. McFarlan was graccd with a beautiful personality, and was also accomplished, being a musician of ex- ceptional ability on the piano. She attended St Joseph's Academy in Prescott when young lady, and later graduated from Notre Dame, San Jose, with marked recognition ex- tended her by the faculty. She was born in Prescott, July 5, 1888 and until three years ago, after her mar riage, resided here continuously. She was a daughter of one of the best known of Yavapai pioneer families, her father, the late M. J. Hickey, at taining prominence as an official and a citizen.
 The date for the funeral has been set for Monday morning at 10 o'clock at the Church of the Sacred Heart, where a solemn requiem high mass will be said. Burial is to be given in Mountain View cemetery by the side of her father.

WH|SKEY-MAK|NG IS
 NOW THING OF THE PAST
Manufacture Ceased Friday Night At O'clock; Big Stock On Hand Will
 Command Fancy Prices.

WASHINGTON, Sept. g. - The manufacture of whiskey ceased throughout the nation at II o'clock last night when the prohibitive clause of the food control act became effect i've.
 Millions of bushels of grain which food officials say would otherwise be ground up for whiskey, are thus re- leased for food. How many millions. no one knows, for the manufacture of alcohol for beverage purposes is so closely blended with the production of alcohol for industrial and medicin- al purposes that there is no way oi determining the exact amount
 Of the 1OO,000OOO bushels of grain, or whereabouts, which goes into the distilleries each year, about 40 per cent, experts estimate, comes out in the form of whiskey and other dis titled beverages. The remainder, made into alcohol of exactly the same characteristics as that used for whis- key, eventually finds its way into per fumes, toilet waters, bay rum. ma chimes and to industries where de- naturcd alcohol is used in ever in creasing quantities.
 Approximately 116,OOO,OOO gallons of whiskey arc produced each year by American distillers. Production of alcohol by the same distilleries for commercial and medicinal uses other than beverages approximates l46,0OO,- OOO gallons. The manufacture of all cohol for the latter purposes. will continue as usual, probably in greater volume, and few of the larger distil- Ieries, if any, will have to shut down, according to government authorities.
 The class of distilleries which will be put out of business IS composed almost wholly of small plants operat- ed by from one man to half dozen men located in California, Ohio and New Jersey and producing brandy from grapes, apples and peaches. These produce approximately 2,OOO,-

1000 gallons a year. Those in New Jersey and Ohio, officials believe, will suspend operations entirely. The California plants, 1t is thought, will continue to operate, in part, for the manufacture of spirits for fortifying sweet wines.
 Stopping whiskey manufacture, in- stead of curtailing the governments revenues, will increase them for the next two years, officials believe. Cou- pied with the pending revenue bill, the withdrawal of whiskcy from bond will probably treble the revenues within the next 12 months, as the present law imposes tax of $1.10 and the revenue bill contemplates a tax of S3.20 gallon. A tax of approx imately 23O,OO0,OOO gallons has accu- mulated in the bonded warehouses and on the shelves of wholesale and retail liquor dealers. Approximately lSOsOOOsNOO SdiiOHS dlC III WdiSilOusNS and upon that quantity the govern ment will collect taxes upon alcohol for commercial purposes, except alco- hol for denaturization, the revenue bill would impose a tax of S2.20 doub- ling the present income.
 There are approximately 700 dis tilleries in the country of which more than one-half are small fruit brandy plants. The amount of capital in vested IT the latter class is rot great in the aggregate The capital invest cd in the big producing plants mounts high into the millions. Officials here believe that losses will be more than wiped out by the prices distillcrs will obtain for the product already manu- factured.
 In the opinion of some this whiskey will be selling at SIS gallon within F months affording distillers enor- nous profits.
 A tremendous growth in the use ot alcohol is anticipated which in time may result in the demand for quan- tity of alcohol at least as large as the present output for all purposes.

 The Cowboy Carnival at Camp Verde was a success beyond anticipa- tions, and as a result there is to be incorporated at once the Havapai Carnival Association, with Camp Verde as the central headquarters.
 The three days events went off without any friction in the judging and awarding of prizes, and the happy mood of all contestants in the fair ness shown, brings Dr. ]. w. Osborn into deserved popularity in directing this big event. The attendance aver aged 1000 daily. One feature to be commended was the liberality of busi- ness people in maintaining reasonable prices and in extending courtesies to visitors. The events included the fol- lowing on the arena program, and some of the best artists in the State participated:

greatest possible speed and economy.
 "The success and economy of such plan depends upon the accuracy of the work, and it is certainly outrage ous that some of our results should have been falsihed by certain resi- dents of this district, through bribery or conspiracy with the former dia- mond drill employees.
 Public sentiment in Jerome will be largely instrumental in determin- ing whether further attempts of this sort are made If any other of our employees are found willing to accept bribes it is probable that they will find it easier and more convenient to attempt to fake than to await real discovery. Jerome can be made elth- CT a desirable or undesirable place of residence for persons who care to participate in such dishonesty, and both the reputation of Jerome and ultimately the amount of money avail able for opening up the undevcloped property of the district will depend largely on the prevalence of fake re- ports.

CROP SURVEY OF THE
 NORTH IS COMPLETED
CFrom Sundays DaiIy.)

CFrom Sundays DaiIy.)
 George H. Smalley. secretary of the Arizona Council of Defense, is in Prescott in connection with the work of that organization. He has just finished a crop survey of northern counties, this work in Yavapai county having been halted by the departure of George w. Scheerer, county farm agent, who was called to the war. He was in conference with w. O. Hooge- straat, county chairman of the council of defense, regarding other important war preparedness work.
 On Friday, Mr. Smalley spoke to the student body of the High school on the part the boys and girls arc taking in the war work, driving home to them the importance of conserving food and extending agricultural pro duction through gardens. He spoke of the excellent spirit shown by the Boy Scouts under Mir. Hoogestraat, and urged them to renew their efforts again next year in agriculture, prom ising the support and encouragement of the council of defense A sub stantial contribution has already been made by the council of defense to the boy scouts of this city.
 Tn behalf of the food conservation work, Mir. Smalley arranged with Su- perintendent Martin of the city schools to have the pledge cards is sued by Food Administrator Hoover distributed by the pupils to the homes for signature.
 T. A. Riordan, of Flagstaff, has been appointed by President Wilson as State food administrator and will have charge of all of the work relat- ing to food and prices throughout Arizona. The council of defense is working in conjunction with Mir. Riordan in this connection, and the information obtained through the crop survey will be turned over to him.
 Mir. Smalley emphasizes the inn portancc of farmers responding to the call made upon them to fill up the blanks sent them by Mir. Scheerer, for the council of defense cannot be of service to the farmers in market ing and keeping products out of home markets in competition with local farmers unless information relative to what is produced here is obtained and tabulated.
 A campaign is being started by the council of defense urging Arizona people to buy and consume home pro ducts. Coconino county will place over 400 carloads of fine potatoes on the market next month all of which can be consumed by the people of this State, and Navajo county is com- ing into the market with 20 carloads of beans which Arizonans are to be called upon to buy. Yavapai county will have lots of fruit, vegetables, alfalfa and cereals which there is a home market for Marketing experts are working to provide the best avail able markets for the farmers, but 1t is essential that the council of defense know at once what the farmers are raising and the quantities that will be placed upon the market.

According to word which was re- ccived here yesterday by Sheriff Young. one of the largest captures oi contraband liquor ever pulled off in this part of the Sta was made the day before at Parker, by the officers who arc waetching the river crossing at that place.
 A car driven by one man and com ing from the California side, was stopped and searched by the officers 627 quart bottles of whiskey being found. The man was taken to the Parker calaboosc eand locked up. When the officers went to the prison later in the day, 1t was found that the stranger had escaped and left the country. The car and the big bunch of bootleg are still in the possession of the officers.
 crcasing demands for power which have overloaded the water power plants for the last year.
 The presence of this steam plant as an auxiliary reserve was deemed ad- visable by the directors of The Ari- zona Power Company to take care ot the rapidly increasing demands of the Jerome district. and also to act as a guarantee against interruptions on the long transmission lines from the hydro-elcctric plant The double transmission lines from the steam plant to Clarkdalc are one mile in length. From the Clarkdale substa- ton a new line is being built to the Hopewcll crushing plant of the Unit ed Verde and thence to the present Jerome sub-station. The liability to interruptions on the electrical cir cults will be reduced 10 a minimum by the addition of this much-needed reserve and the company IS prepared to add to the size of the steam plant as the demand of the customers re quires. When the plant has been tuned lip 10 its full capacity, Sl,000 worth of fuel oil will be used every A hours.
