WAR GARDEN |S MAK|NG GOOD

Through the very obliging court esy of MT. Clark, the gardner at the home of General Manager Carmich- ael, of the Arizona Copper Co.,, Ltd. we are able to give some interesting points about the war garden planted early in the spring.
 At the time Uncle Sam began urg- ing home people to plant gardens, the season was a little late here to an ticipate an abundant growth of vege- tables. However, &Mr. Carmichael had his lawn, wonderfully beautiful for this part of the country, dug up and planted in potatoes. This meant planting of practically six bushels of potatoes. Every attention was given to proper care; of the soil and sthe ground was kept in good condi- tfon. free from weeds, and the plants were properly thinned out. but there are no potatoes. The plants have yielded absolutely nothing. MT. Clark explained this because of the very late planting and the surplus of al kalai in the soil. Potatoes planted on the J. c. Cooper place earlier in the season are yielding few medium sized potatoes of a freak variey as each potatoe is sending up a new
 
 furious to the potato as a good food product Mir Clark dug hill of po- +tatoes 10 show this peculiar condi- ton. MT. Clark showed some beets that were especially fine specimens. He stated that these are an excellent plant to extract the alkalai from the soil and would advise their being planted to get the soil in shape for desired vegetation the following year, also stating that a lawn would do much better after the alkalai had been reduced.
 The lawn at the E. M. Williams home has been planted to sugar beets for this season and another year will see a much better lawn than formerly. MT. Clark stated that those who have planted gardens and haven't realized good yields can, in the majority of cases, lay the same to the presence of alkalai soil caused by the tailings deposits of years ago. He suggested the plant ing of asparagus as it needs the presence of minerals, especially salt, and says that a salt dressing added to the soil will help it's growth. He showed an asparagus bed that will be in good yield next spring. The bed in which he has the beets this year is intended for a rose bed later. This 1 is a good and timely suggestion fol Clifton people who desire roses and are afraid they may not do well. Plant beets to help the soil.
 MT. Clark after stating the failure of the war garden said he had crop that had been highly successful and led the way to the gold fish lake Originally two dozen fish were placed in this pool especially constructed ! for them, now there are over double the number of beautiful coloring and shape. Only those of good color are kept, the others being placed in the river to frisk about. The ones in the pool are especially fine specimens. ! Not so much attention has been giy
 en this year to the growth of flowers
 about the yards, owing to the expert
 ment with the gardens but there are ! flowers carefully tended and trained
 and pleasing to the eye and sense o
 smell
 It was an especial favor on the par
 of MT. Clark. to give this bit of in formation to the readers of the Cop | Der Era

POTTER SATISFIES MORTGAGE

On last Saturday $7OOO mortgage held by the Gila Valley Bank and Trust company on the Dell M, Pot ter property up the Frisco river was discharked. The property was to have been sold at sheriff's sale Saturday to satisfy the mortgage.
 Unable to secure the funds here W ith which to satisfy the mortgage MT. Potter on Friday afternoon got into communication with an Fl Paso and Tucson banking institution and Saturday morning the money was wired here and the mortgage taken over, anticipating the sale by close margin.
 The ranch property is one of the best in this section of the state and Mir Potter is fortunate in that he is able to keep it in his possession. The place is now unencumbered and with the pending improvements now con templated will be the show place of Greenlee county.

A|RSH|P COMPANY FORMED IN
 VALLEY
Working Model of New Invention to
 Be Built at Once-Government Gun
 sidering Manufacture of Machine May Revolutionize the Flying

The invention of an aeroplane, plans of which if carried to a suc- cessful consummation, will revolu- tionize the flying game the world over, has recently been made by an Arizona man by the name of Fowler, recently of Miami, according to statement made to an Era represen- tative by w. A. Pitt, who has arriv- ed in Clifton from his farm in the lower valley.
 MT. Pitt states that a company, in which he is interested, has been formed in the valley for the purpose of securing funds for the construc- tion of working model. Several of the representative business men have taken blocks of stock in the com pany to show their faith in the new invention, which has been patented and plans of which are now in the hands of the authorities at Washing tor. It is thought that if the plans are feasible the government may pur- chase the rights to manufacture. Ne gotiations have been carried on for some time between the company and Igovernment authorities as we'll as Senator Ashurst, and it is thought that Uncle Sam is giving the inven- tion serious consideration with a view to adopting the new type ma chine.
 One of the principal features of the machine is that it does not re- quire running start for the ascent nor does it require a cleared space for landing. According to the inven- tor the airship will rise straight up from the ground and descend in a corresponding manner. Another in- novation claimed by MT. Fowler is that the machine will remain sta tionery in the air so long as the motor is running. An expert on aeronautics from Tucson has gone over the plans and pronounced them as sure of success and in support of his opinion he be- came one of the stockholders in the company. A tract of land near Pima has been purchased and fenced and in this enclosure will be built the working model, wh; ;ch the inventor estimates will take about 90 days for completion, when the success or fail- ure of his genius will be proven. The. model will be built to carry two ger sons so that the machine may be i given d thorough try-out.
 [ Tt is estimated that a light pleas ure craft can eventually be built at , the price of Ford now said Nil.
 Pitt, ."and if the machine will do all that is claimed for it arG proves Q . bc the sut cess that its inventor claims. sailing through the air or
 toy ride will in the near future super
 sede the pleasure to be now enjoyed
 by the Ford route. We who are back ing the enterprise have the utmost
 faith in it and when it becomes snc- cess Arizona will have an added laurel to her already long list Of
 achievements. The advantages of
 the new invention over those of the machines now in use can be raidly
 seen.''
 MT. Pitt left Clifton the first
 of the week for Pima where prepar
 ations for the immediate construction
 of the model will be begun.

E. R. Lynch, employed in the First National Bank as a bookkeeper was arrested on Tuesday night at the tennis court during a game of indoor baseball on the charge of aggravated assault. Lynch was playing in the game and became angry at derogatory remarks aimed at him by a young boy of about 12 years of age by the name of Clark. It is stated that Lynch, who is a man grown, kicked the boy and then knocked him to the ground with his fist. Then. it is alleged, as the boy lay prostrate Lynch kneeled upon him and began working him lover with his fists. There was a goodly crowd of spectators present at the game who witnessed the affair and the remarks u.s$oh upon lie Icowartly action of Lynch were pro fuse.

Stock to Be Put on Market

Stock to Be Put on Market
 Stock in the Aztec Hot Springs com pany will soon be selling at the par value of $1 per share. The property which was recently turned over to the company by Dell M. Potter, is unencumbered and has deeds on rec ord, giving slear title to the same.
 It is the wish of the promoters of the proposition to have as much of the stock as possible taken up by home people and thus make the institution purely local one. Good offers have been received by eastern capitalists to lease the property but all have been turned down. Extensive i'm provements are to be made and it is the intention to let local people in on the ground floor.
 The ad which will be found in an- other column fully explains the pro- position and the cut accompanying same will give an idea of the main club building as it will appear when completed.

They Said Nothing
About Austrian Defeats

The marshal also told US that
Maubeuge had fallen, and that they
had made forty-fve thousand pris-
oners. 1t seems almost incredible
that the French and English would
have left that many men at Mau-
beuge when they knew that it was
bound to fall. Perhaps we shall find
that this is not altogether accurate.
They say nothing about what is hap
pening in Austria. The news from
England and Antwerp is to the effect
that the Russians are giving the
Austrians hard time of it.
This afternoon the German head
quarters issued an order prohibiting
the bringing of newspapers to Brus-
sells from the outside world and an
nouncing that any one who brings
newspapers here or is found with
papers in his possession will be
severely punished. Two German
papers will be distributed by the au-
thorities, and everything else Is
taboo. They evidently intend that
their own version Of passing events
shall be the only one to get out
here.

"Of course I'll stop this, but you
will understand that our men would

the war in Belgium. That would be
hard TO prevent. But I would sug-
gest that you pick out all the pieces
that you value most and pack them
away in that large wardrobe. Then
III do the rest"
Madame de X. was, of course, de-
lighted with this, and scurried about
gathering together the finest pieces
and packing them carefully into the
biz wardrobe. She kept it up as
long as there was a nook or Granny
where odd pieces could be put, and
then reported progress to the Prince.
Are you sure that all the best
pieces are there?" says he.
