LOAD CARS TO FULL CAPACITY

Uncle Sam is setting fine example in the matter of loading freight cars according to the Commission on car service. Recently the Commission ad- dressed letter to the Secretary of War, to Herbert Hoover and other Departmental officers having to do with the letting of contracts for Gov ernment supplies. The suggestion was made that all Government contracts carry requests that the freight car equipment be loaded to ten per cent above the marked capacity.
 Uncle Sam did better than request such loading. In most cases parties furnishing material to the Govern ment are ordered to load cars to full carrying capacity.
 This means a big help to the rail- roads in their campaign for. increased effectiveness.

LICE ON CATTLE

It is my belief that the cattle louse is indirectly one of the most common causes of loss among range cattle. The lice sap the energy that is needed to fight feed shortages. This has been a bad year and lots of losses have oc- cured, and if a close inspection is made it will be found that most all the weak ones are badly infested with these parasites. They are present more or less every year, but are mo- ticed more when the feed is short, and the animal needs all it's reserve strength to tide it over.
 The dipping vat is one of the best investments that can be made on a cattle ranch. By dipping animals each Fall and Spring they can be kept com paratively free from lice. It will also help to rid them of the ear ticks, which sometimes are very detriment- al. Any of the coal tar or tobacco dips are good as is also the Beaumont Oil Emulsion. Where only few are to be treated one part of kerosene to two parts of lard smeared over the body is very effectuous.

To City Sealers, Dealers and
 Shippers of Fruit and Vegetables

On November l, 1917, law goes into effect in the United States which is important to all dealers handling fruits or vegetables for interstate shipment from Arizona points.
 The Act fixes the capacities and dimensions of three sizes of Climax baskets only. The effect of this is to prohibit the use in interstate com merce of Climax baskets of all other sizes.
 Package manufacturers and dealers, fruit and vegetable growers, and shippers or dealers in any of these products may forward containers, charges prepaid, to the Bureau of Markets, Washington, D. C., for ex- animation and testing, in order to de- termine for the information of the sender whether such container manu- factured, bought, sold or used by him complies with the provisions of this act.
 An interstate shipment of fruits and vegetables from Arizona points is increasing, it will be well for hand lers to have any baskets tested that are intended for use after November 1, 1917.

QUESTION OF LIVE STOCK
 VALUATION IS CONSIDERED
Market Correspondent,

The question of the declaration of values of live stock on state business was argued in Chicago recently be- fore the live Illinois state utilities commission.
 The railroads took the position that the only change contemplated was one to permit them to refuse to accep. stock of higher value than $500 per head. They stated that this was a question of law and would be argued by them in their brief.
 Shippers representatives, including the National Live Stock Exchange, the Chicago Live Stock Exchange, the Ma tional Live Stock Shippers Protective League and the Illinois State Live Stock Association, took the position that the requirements that the ship pers shall declare the value of stock is also an issue to prove that if the carriers proposed tariff became effect i've state shippers would be at dis advantage with interstate shippers who, under the act to regulate inter- state commerce, do not have to de- clare value.
 Shippers representatives also showed by actual experience tests that the loss on live stock given intelligent handling does not average over 30 cents per car, and that consequently the proposed penalties for live stock of higher value are entirely unreason- able.
 This case is now being considered ! by the commission and, no deicsion will be made until after briefs are filed.

KRENZ GETS COMMISSION

A commission of First Lieutenant, U. S. Army Reserve Corps, Engineer ing Department has been issued to Fred D. Krenz.
 Mir. Krenz is well known here and is very highly regarded. His execut- i've ability we'll fits him for an officer in that department. He first came to this country about five years ago and had charge of constructing govern ment buildings at Tuba and a year later he came on a similar mission. Arizona seemed to suit him and he built fine stone building for himself at Tuba and enteerd into the Indian Trading business. About a year ago he sold his interests there and estab- lished similar business at the Ma vajo Copper Company's camp which he managed until a short time ago when he sold that and enlisted in the department in which he has just re- ceived his commission as an officer. He has the congratulations and best wishes of his amny friends here. He is now visiting his parents in Iowa.

Range and Market News Items of Interest Pertaining the Livestock Industry of Arizona,
 Market Letter for the Past Week.
LUMP JAW

1 have recently investigated a dis ease in cattle in the vicinity of Flor ence, Arizona, that is manifested in some animals by a swelling under the lower jaw, or chin, while in others the tongue becomes affected, in still others the enlargement is situated on the jaw, side of face, or throat. Some of these 1esions will at times contain pus and may break and discharge of their own accord, while others remain hard and firm. Most all of this trouble is due to actinomycosis, commonly called Lump Jaw. It is caused by vegetable yarasite, the "actinomyces" or Ray Fungus" This infection gains entrance to the parts by means of bricks or punctures, caused by thorns of cactus and other sharp hard vege- tation.
 The common idea that actinomycosis is always located on the jaw is erron- ous, as it may effect any part of the body. The fact that it is usually lctated around the mouth or jaws is due to those parts being more often punctured by thorns, Cholla and etc.
 When the swelling is located on the jaw it is termed lump jaw, when the tongue is affected, woody tongue and etc.
 It is more frequently observed on ranges badly infected with Cholla. Putting affected animals on good feed helps to overcome it, by raising the resisting powers of the animal. Po- tasium Iodine in two dram doses daily is specific for this disease but it is rather expensive and troblesome to administer. The most practicable treatment consists of cutting boldly into the enlargements, and packing with caustics, such as Blue Vitrol, Chromium trioxide solution and etc, or even cauterizing the parts thor oghly with hot iron.
 Where animals are weak from ef- fects of it get them to good feed if possible.

Summary of Weather and Crop
 Conditions in Arizona for the
 WeekEndhg Tusday, Aug. Eth

The showers in the mountain dis. tricts were beneficial for grazing Range stock are now generally in good condition.
 The outlook for beans, grain and other dry farm crops is now very good, especially in the southeastern portion of the state.
 In the irrigated districts hay and cotton are looking well. Water is plentiful. The alfalfa seed crop is poor owing to damage by the recent rains.

BAD EFFECTS OF FREE WOOL

We had free wool, 1S94-97, for three years, and what happened? We lost 10,0O0,O00 sheep, but that was not all. The value of those left, in stead of being worth s2.50 apiece, as they were in 1892, or s3.S0 apiece as they were in 1900, were only worth s1.70 to $l.S0 each. What ten or twenty years of free wool would do can only be imagined. Imemnse quan- titles of wool poured into the United States during 1S95-67, and there was no profit in sheep raising till that stock was depleted and there was a market for the domestic product. But under the Dingley Tariff the herds man could get good price for both sheep and wool, and his focks almost doubled in number, and quadrupled in value. In 1896, under the free wool Tariff, we reached the lowest stage of our wool growing industry since the rebellion. Under the Dingley law we reached the highest development ever attained.
 This is what free wool did for the farmer. How did the manufacturers fare? Their mills were shut down that's all. With low duties on woolens and no work for the msases, there was no market for our woolen goods Our manufacturers fared no better under free wool than did our sheen growers. The wool grower and the woolen manufacturer were prosperous under the Mckinley law. They were almost ruined under the Wilson-Gor- man law, while under the Dingley law they were even more prosperous thar in 1892. Nowhere are the benefits Of Protection more discernible than ir this industry. Nowhere does Free, Trade cast greater blight or brine quicker ruin. It is not a conclusion from theory, nor gueswork.

WEEKLY KANSAS CITY
 STOCK MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, August 6, 1917.-Cattle receipts dropped to 16,000 head today, market strong to 25 higher on killing cattle, top price $13.S0, 25 to 50 higher on stockers and feeders. Hog receipts were 5000, market 10 to 15 higher, top $16.3O. Sheep and lambs today 5000, market strong, nothing choice, native lambs S1400.
 Killing Cattle
 The severe break in prices last week, and rains of more or less general nature since the middle of last week, stopped loading for this weeks market in large degree, hence the re- duced supply, here and elsewhere. Native steers sold strong to 25 high CT, numerous lots at $1325 to $13.8O, the top paid for long yearlings, high est price ever paid for baby beef here. Westerns sold 15 to 25 higher, receipts light, Kansas steers worth S8.75 to $12.25, Oklahomas S7.50 to $1O.75, Old Mexico steers grazed in Okla home or Kansas $6.50 to $S.25. But cher cattle got the full advance, some sales more than a quarter higher. Re- ceipts include 9 cars of California steers, at $S.35 to $9.25, weights S75 to 1050 lbs.
 StOckers and Feeders
 Prices touched bottom last week and around 2S,000 cattle were sent to the county, 10000 more than during previous week, and twice as many as same week last year. Stock steers at S6 to $7.50, feeders $7.25 to $9.75 were current quotations last week but these were revised upward 25 to 50 cents per cwt. today on the strength of reported rains around and light supplies.
 nORS
 Dry weather in a large amount of trash alst week, and the spread ir prices widened greatly. Best hogs sold 10 to 15 higher today, but there is little improvement in common hogs It is figured that the rains will stoE the run of common hogs. Choice heavy weights are scarce, and tho right kind would have gone above S16.30 today, medium weights selling up to S16.20, light hogs at $14.75 tC $15.75. Every Western market i! running behind this time year ago il receipts, and the large number of i'm mature hogs sent forward lately hurt prospects for future supplies some though many of the pigs will be i'm munized at the plants around tn stock yards, and resold as stock hogs
 Sheep and Lambs
 Recent declines have put nativ lambs down to $14, but choice West erns would bring quarter more a least. Ewes direct from the rang brought $9.30 today from killers, an some Western breeding ewes, mix ture, one to five years old, sold a $12.50, 101 lbs. average. Light re ceipts are scheduled for all fall, an it is hoped the market for fat stoc will improve. Feeding lambs sell flo as much as fat ones, or little nor,

BOY SWEPT TO DEATH
AFTER FALL IN SEWER
Child Of Ten Years Braves Danger
to Recover His Lost Cap.

PHILADELPHIA, June 23.-Swal-
lowed in the murky, swirling waters
OF the Wingohocking trunk sewer,
Charles Callahan, ten years old, was
carried last night to his death some
where beneath the streets.
With his twin brother, Patrick, and
a negro lad OF the neighbohood,
Charles, who was popularity known
among his playmates as Chick" left
his home trundling a toy wagon. He
intended to gather a load of kind
ling wood for his mother. At Tenth
and CORTLAND streets the three com,
panlons were attracted by a number
of buildings in course OF construc-
ton.

ed up his little vehicle.
His Hat FnIIs In Hole.
The boys worked industriously, ami
as their task was about completed
they explored the cellars and ada
cent lots. In the lead OF his brother
and the colored boy, Chick" came
to the edge OF a manhole. Curiosity
prompted him to peer into the dark
abyss, and as he did SO his cap top
pied out OF sight.
Undaunted by the depth of the
black masonry-lined hole. the lad
seized the top rung of the manhole
ladder and nimbly made his way to
an iron picket, which had prevented
the cap from being carried into the
sewer proper.
Here II is fellows" came a voice
out of the darkness. and presently
Chicks" head bobbed above the
opening. He extended his right hand,
in which he held the cap. But as his
brother and the negro lad listened
to his experience in that pit, the cap
again slid from Chicks" head. He
turned. Then he lost his balance.
A splash sounded as the small body
struck the swiftly flowing water. The
other boys ran rapidly in the direc-
ton of their homes. Patrick. almost
exhausted. hurried to his mother.
Chick fell into the sewer. ma"
Patrick managed to say, as he flung
himself on a couch.
A few minutes later the reserves Of
the Branchtown police station were
on their way to the sewer opening.
Chicks" father. who came home
from work as the rescuing party was
being organized, FASTENED to the
winghocking Creek. where he and
volunteers took up their vigil.
As the police reserves realized the
uselessness of attempting to explore
the interior of the sewer with
out equipment. FIRE truck, No, 8
drew up. Ladders were lowered and
a crew of frehghters carrying acety-
lene flares descended into the sewer.
The fremen made their way along
the subterranean waterway for dis

avail. They trudged slowly back

DOESN'T KNOW HE'S LICKED
Constantine Still King, Says Greek
Minister at Berne.

BERLIN. June eat seems that
King Constantine does not want him
self considered as a dethrOned mon
arch.
This at least is the construction
placed by German correspondents in
Switzerland on the communication by
the Greek minister in Berne, who was
particular in emphasizing that no for
NAL abdicatiOn has been signed MOI
had any such document been made
public.
The judicial conception Of the case,
according to the Greek minister at
Berne. is that the King was made to
separate himself from his people by
force and was compelled to leave his
country to sojourn in Switzerland.
During this time his second son has
been commissioned to act as regent
in King Constantine's place.

annual commencement exercises OF
Mt. st. Mary's College here. told the
graduating class that the United
States had entered the fight against
Germany for principles which were
based on the solid foundation Of JUS
tice and righteousness
The venerable prelate urged the
young men to follow the noble ex-
ample OF their country
Patriotism, he said, had a definite
place at times such as these, but It
should not be made the basis of our
fight.
I'VE have not entered a terrible
struggle simply for the glory that
is in it," he said, I'VE have a nobler
and higher motive which rests on
the solid principle OF Justice and
right. God will guide our armies in
the field and bring them to victory,
because we are on the side OF right
No standing army or superdread-
naught ever put together can win a
war for any other cause"
