GEARS IN MESH, AUTO RUNSD0WN
 JACObCAUF MAN

Cranking his automobile while the machine was in gear and then throw ing his weight against the radiator in an effort to, prevent the car from running wild, Jacob Caufman, a we'll i known rancher and connected with the | Southwestern Livestock Exchange, was thrown under the wheels of the automobile on North First avenue, about o'clock Wednesday evening and sustained injuries from which it is doubtful he will recover. His right leg was fractured in two places. various lacerations were inflicted upon vari- ous portions of his body and it is be- i lieved there are internal injuries At the Sisters hospital last evening the physicians in charge of the case were seriously considering amputation of the i injured leg as the only hope of saving the life of the aged man.
 Caufman had just left a restaurant on First avenue near the alley between Washington and Adams streets His machine was parked in the center of the street just opposite the Taylor Paint and Paper store. He failed to notice that the gears were not in neu- tral and proceeded to crank up. h. stantly the car began to move. Cauf- man, who is "A years old, believed that he could keep the car rom moving OH as it had gained no momentum. But the machine overcame him and when he realized his inability to prevent 'run-off," it was too late for him to get from in front.
 As the car proceeded the radiator caught him across the hip and threw him underneath. One of the wheels passed over his leg whiie another is believed to have grazed his head.
 The machine continued on it's way and crashed into the front of the Fay Tor store.
 Persons who had witnessed the affair rushed to the side of Caufman who was in a semi conscious condition. He was taken to the office of Dr. Grant $. Monical Dr. Monical was out at the time and Dr. L. D. Dameron and Dr. H. K Beauchamp were called. The physicians made the injured man as comfortable as possible and then sent him to the Sisters hospital, where Dr. E. Payne Palmer, the family physician took charge. Late last evening it was reported that his condition was grave.
 MT Caufman is a widower with a son and daughter living. The children were notified of the accident by the l Southwestern Livestock Exchange.

SCARCITY CARS
 INCONSISTENCIES
 IF POTATO CROP

Scarcity of ears and labor on the coast has made a shortage in potatoes on the Phoenix produce market. For several days the market was complete ly without a supply of potatoes. This shortage was relieved partially by the arrival of a carload Wednesday and an- other carload yesterday. Potatoes are very firm at $3,75 a hundred and jump to $4 will follow market >advices from the coast, according to local pro- duce men yesterday.
 The potato condition on the coast IS simply, there are enough potatoes, es- pecially in the Sacramento delta coun- try, but there prevails a shortage of labor and an acute shortage in railroad cars One firm at Los Angeles, hand ling potatoes for Arizona points, wired a Phoenix firm yesterday, saying orders had better be placed far in advance, otherwise no assurance could be given as to delivery.
 The supply of potatoes on hand in Phoenix is reported as only large enough to last few days. Produce men have placed orders and are taking chances on these orders arriving in time to relieve the market.
 Potatoes may go away up before
 
 produce man yesterday. Tt is a con dition which is being felt all over the southwest and the coast. How much farther it extends I don't know. The scarcity of cars and labor is the cause. and not shortage in the crop. In fact. potatoes are going to waste, or being fed to stock, in some places in Califor- mia. It is purely matter of made quate marketing facilities and labor"
 The scarcity in onions which has prevailed in Phoenix for some time has been met with the arrival of severe carolads from Stockton, Cal, The To cal supply was short and what there was did not grade to standard. This left the market almost barren for sev- eral days An order was rushed through from the coast and yesterday retailers were being supplied freely at $9.75 8 hundred
 Fruit in the local market was fea tured yesterday by the arrival of the first Bartlett pears in quantity. They came from California and sold at $2.75 standard crate Two carloads have reached Phoenix to date. Small plums were in generous supply, selling at ST q lug box. Local peaches slumped this week, selling as low as 3 cents a pound The peaches are of excellent quality but unfavorable conditions brought them into market with a crush Thi: in the face of poor distribution facilities prevented the peaches going to mining and other points where such frui would have brought first class prices.
 The market is cleaning up on water melons and cantaloups. The last car load of cantaloups was shipped ou Wednesday night The selling price yesterday for cantaloups was $1 ant $125 a crate. Watermelons sold at l F and cents a pound. Gravenstein ap ples were in market yesterday, sellins at $2.75 a box wholesale.

MANY G0 AF TER J0b

More than T5 inquiries have been re- ceived at the civil service quarters in the federal building in regard to the examination which is to be given Sat urday at 10 o'clock, for persons desir ing to take up work with the govern ment. Applicants desiring to take the ex imitation are requested to come to the civil service office at 9:45 o'clock in the morning.
 Although it is expected that those successful in passing the tests will be placed in the internal revenue service, it is likely that vacancies occurring in the reclamation service will also be filled by persons on the eligible list created by the examination.

RED CROs5 IN
 NED 1T PAPER

Four more tons of old papers and the local workers for the Red Cross will have full carload to ship to the mar ket. They cannot sell less than a car load without paying the freight them selves, but with a carload, the buyers on the coast will pay the freight and buy the. paper, bringing Q goodly. sum to the splendid work of this noble insti- tution-for all the money goes to the Red Cross.
 The headquarters for the collection of papers is the stpre room at 127 North Central avenue, the use of which is do- mated to the women who have worked so hard to gather these papers. Mrs. Rogers is there from morning till eyen- ing, sorting papers and bundling them for shipment. She is donating all of her days to this work and if the men and women of the city will only give a small part of the attention to this work that she does. the result will be all and more than expected.
 Request is made for old papers and magazines. The papers are bundled to be sold and the magazines will be sent to the camps so that the fighters, both active and potential, may have some thing to read.

INTERNAL BATHING'S
RAPID GROWTH

1t is but natural to expect that a
relief from Constipation and the many
ills which it causes which is so effec-
tual and so natural as Internal Bath
ing should quickly make many con-
verts.
But it's general use has increased
So tremendously in the past few years
as to suggest other reasons, and these
are found in the statements of users
that they feel as if made over new"
the morning after an Internal Bath.
The elimination of the pernicious
and poisonous waste which is ever
present in the Lower Intestine gives
Nature a chance to work unhampered.
And one arises in the morning clear
headed, able, bright, confident and
eager for the days duties.
Mr.. F.. E. Smith writes:
Dear Doctor-Your Cascade made
a new man of me at the age Of 40. l
persuaded my wife to use the treat
ment also and today she has better
health than ever before. Since the
