LAWN FETE FOR
 RED CROSS |S
 GREAT SUCCESS

The lawn social and card party given for the benefit of the Red Cross on Friday evening by the Mary Brodie auxiliary of the United Spanish War eterans at the home of the auxiliary president. Mrs. J. L. E. Alexander, was one of the most attractive affairs of the season.
 The grounds surrounding the home were brilliantly lighted by immense strings of electric globes softened here and there with Japanese lanterns, un- der which were prettily arranged the lunch and card tables.
 While the guests were being served with ice cream and cake by the mem bers of the auxiliary. who were dressed in white with sashes of red, white and blue. the Indian school band rendered many patriotic and other faTorite se lections adding much to the enjoyment of the evening.
 The success of the affair. hurriedly planned by the members of the Auxil- iary from an inspiration received at the Red Cross mass meeting held last Monday evening on the roof garden Of the Hotel Jefferson. is due in a great measure to the generosity of many of the merchants and business men of the city.

 ON NSPECU[ATORS
Special to The Republican,

TUCSON, AriZ., June 24.-In order to thwart the plans of food spectators who are seeking to contract far in ad- vance for the grain crops of the state farmers are being asked to avoid mak- ing such contracts and it is being point ed out to them that they might as well get the profit from the increase in food prices as the specuiator. In other words they are being shown that if 1t is good thing for the speculator to buy up the crops, then it is a good thing for the farmer to hold on to them and take the profit which the speculator would oth erwise make
 Fair profits to the farmer will en- courage food production this fall and next spring and will keep prices normal. If spectators succeed in tying up the grain crops, prices will be aonormal and the farmer will not get the return he is entitled to.

POTATO WASTE
 IN SECTION |S
 B|G PER GENT

That there is needless waste of 20 per cent of the crop of new potatoes now being harvested in Maricopa county is the startling information which has been brought to the atten- tion of the Arizona Council of De- fense.
 With the entire country enlisted ill a campaign Of economy, thrift and saving, hand in hand with England and France, that the resources of the nation may be equal to the abnormal demands which will be made upon it by her allies in the conflict in which it is entered, waste of food of this extent and right at our doors is scarcely believable.
 Nevertheless, it is true as ascer- taned by investigators for the Coun- cil of Defense, who at present are aid ing in the preparation of the food sur Vey and the crop map of Maricopa county.
 This waste of one fifth of the po- tato crop is not a new one. but one that has been going on year after year. In previous. years no attention has been paid to this matter, but this year the resources of the country are being surveyed by men expert in the work and no portion of crop can go un- accounted for this season.
 The first word of this big waste in the potato crop came from the vicinity of Peoria, which is being surveyed for the crop map now being compiled William Hood and J. F. Schaefer, as- sistants in that locality. in taking the food survey, reported to the Council of Defense that approximately 60C acres of potatoes now are being dug II, x. all the crop on these 600 acres nearly 20 per cent of the potatoes are under size. These undersize potatoes, they say, are not marketable under ordin- ary conditions, and are going to ab- solute waste, being allowed to remain on the ground. They are not even being fed to the hogs, they declare
 On this basis, allowing for an aver age of 75 sacks of potatoes to the acre each sack containing about 175 pounds, there will be a total of 45.00t pounds of potatoes going to absolute waste. The value of these potatoes. il is asserted, is $1,500.
 This condition of waste is not to be continued, it is declared at the head quarters of the Council of Defense The council will endeavor to eliminate this 20 per cent waste in the potato crop by bringing the producer and consumer together as far as possible All this would be comparatively easy they say. if the farmers will come into the Council of Defense headquarters and present their cases.
 Commission men of the city declare that they generally have specifications which they must follow in purchasina potatoes and these specifications elim mate all potatoes under certain standard size. Occasionally they are able, they say, to accept potatoes much smaller than standard, but ire quently they are left in the field.

ILLEGAL WILL ORDERED
 SET ASIDE IN PROBATE

Religious charities will share in a $1O,000 trust fund created by tke will of Ann Hunt, who died in this city in. 1888. Decision to this effect was filed by Probate Judge Miller yester- day afternoon and will take such amount from heirs of Elizabeth N. Burrall, for whom the trust was created with the provisions that it re- vert t0 the Burrall woman's heirs when she died. The unique question Of law, involves a recent Connecticut statute which does not allow bequests to be made to heirs. except those liv- ing or others who may be discovered within 21 years.
 The question of settlement was presented by the death of Mrs. Bur ra1l in Hartford a year ago. She was survived by a sister and nephew and they immediately filed their claim for share in the estate under the terms of the will Holding that the law of perpetuity was violated, Judge Miller denied the claim and set aside the will provisions as contrary to law.
 An appeal to the superior court is possible and inasmuch as the amount involved is in the neighborhood of 2,0O0, one may be taken by the heirs of Mrs. Burrall.
