Hastings.-The seven-year-old son
of Bert Cranes, who resides in Irving
township, is in Pennock hospital suf-
fering from the loss of almost all of
his right hand as the result of the
explosion of a cartridge, Saturday.
The child found the cartridge among
some rubbish and took it home. He
is an unusually bright boy, and he
wanted to see what was inside Of that
cartridge. In order to open it he
pounded it. An explosion followed
and all but the thumb was torn from
the hand.
The child's parents hurried to DR..
Taylor's Office in Vaudeville. The
doctor applied first aid bandages and
sent them to Pennock hospital in
Hastings, where DR.. Lowry dressed
the boys injury. His condition is
considerably improved during the last
few days.

MORALES FEARS N0T INVADERS

. That less concern is being demon- strated over the war situation and particularly America with relation to Mexico in Nogales than in Phoenix was the word brought from the bor- der town yesterday by Frank De SouZa.
 Justice De Souza declared that the residents of Nogales feel no alarm whatever over a Mexican invasion and that at the present time there are but 2,500 soldiers stationed there. As many as 12.000 of Uncle Sam's men have been there at various times during the border trouble. There are no Mexican soldiers on the Sonora side, according to De SouZa.
 De Souza. who is state advocate and one of the leading Knights of Colum- bus in the state. was in Nogales with the party from here for the exemplifi- cation of the Third Degree. There were 50 in the class and one of the features of the session was the ban quet at which the Phoenix visitors were honored guests. Among those in attendance were Thomas W. Nealon. first district deputy: PJ. Munch, J. T. Murphy and Jesse L. Boyce.

'SPAPER
 PRAISES VALLEY

Twenty five thousand head Of hogs have been shipped to Kansas City ir the past four months from the Salt River valley.
 That remarkable statement is taken direct from tae market news of the Kansas City Drorer's Telegram. which also seems to think this valley Is located in territory.
 The article in question has the fol- lowing 10 say:
 "The Salt River valley territory Of Arizona contributed a shipment of 800 head of hogs to the run today. Regular shipments have been coming from that new territory since last December More than 25.n00 havc beer received in the last four months
 The consignment received he-a -~- day came from the Salt River Pack ing company of Phoenix a conceru which has contributed :he bulk of the hogs sent from that country to this market. This firm had in 2 shipment of 250 hogs last week.

credit in maintaining this road in the good condition in which we found it.
 The next morning we left Tucson for Nogales and there is a beautiful road stretching 15 miles out of Tue son towards the San Xavier Mission. This is a new road and eXcellently built The road from the Mission to the old Tumacacori Mission in Santa Cruz county is just fair but easily pas sable and not a bad ride. From the old Tumacacori Mission 20 miles out of Nogales the road is an excellent one This is new graded road and Santa Cruz county has spent considerable money and time in it's preparation. It is one of the finest roads we encoun- tered in the whole state.
 Conditions at Nogales seem to be about as normal-the people do not seem to be overly excited as to the war, and preparations for business as usual are being made. We crossed over the line and went into Nogales Sonora, and drove about 10 miles into Mexico and returned safely, contrary to the expectation of the eastern mem bers of our party
 We left Nogales early the next morning and went over the new graded road reaching almost as far as Pata- gonia. This is a wonderful road, be- ing laid out on the hogback of the mountains From Patagonia to Elgin the road is very fair; and from Elgin to Huachuca Siding with one or two exceptions the road is very fine. From Huachuca Siding into Bisbee we thought the road was very good. with the exception of a few bad cross washes, although a great deal of work has been done in resurfacing and re- grading this stretch
 From Bisbee to Douglas the Pisbee- Douglas highway is in very good con- dition and is very tempting to a faster gait than 20 miles an hour, especially in a Packard Twin-Six in which we were riding.
 Business men in Douglas are op- timistic over conditions and feel that their business will progress as it has during the past two years.
 "On our return we retraced oul steps to Bisbee. then took the road over the divide out of Bisbee and dowi to Tombstone. There is about 10 miles of road hetW cen Risbee and Tombstone that is a little rough. The rest of the road however, is like a boulevard ss that one forgets the short rougl stretch The road from Tombstone tt HuarhiIoa Siding eItrOrisad uS VarN

ROAD CONDITION IS OUTLINED BY
 LOCAL TOURIST

Warren McArthur of McArthur Brothers on returning from his recent trip through the southern part of the state has many good things to say about the condition of roads through out the southern counties.
 We left Phoenix" said MT McAr- thur, ''on Tuesday last at S:30 o'clock in the morning and took the old des- ert road straight through Mesa to the Gila river at Florence. Ii is necessary now to cross the Gila river on hay rack body on a wagon. We were much interested in this way of crossing The car is driven on to the hayrack body by means of boards which are let down at the back. The car is se- curely strapped in place ard the six horses pull through the one-half mile of crossing. It is q much surer way setting over the river than trying to plunge radiators first into the swift moving stream. as a number of cars have tried to cross under their own power but have been hopelesslv floun dered by the water.
 For 20 miles out of Florence the road is good with the exception of a great many cross washes which re- quire slowing down in going over them. from g miles out of Florence the road into Tucson is like a boulevard and the state deserves a good deal of

TURN SOCIETY
 FUNCTIONS TO
 RED CROSS ND

That it would be wiser plan to mase profit out of pleasure than to cancel social engagements and cast the city into depressed state, is the opinion of Mrs. E. E. Marks.
 There have been rumors afloat since war was declared that social leaders would withdraw il rvitations to all social functions Mrs. Marks believes that this would have a serious effect that would not in any way help the situa- tion. She says that clothing the city in gloom would not mend matters but function might take the form of a pat riotic event. Mrs. Marks would have every hostess place in her drawing room q Red Cross box where the guests might contribute nickels or dimes. quarters or dollars as she sees fit. She says that in this manner neat sums might be raised for material for surgi- cal supplies.

GEORCE l. O.FORD
 SECURES STOCK

George O. Ford, the proprietor of the largest second hand furniture store in the southwest, returned to Phoenix yes terday after a trip to Los Angeles where he purchased two car loads of goods.
 The prize catch which Ford made while away was set of hand carved ebony furniture. There are several stands and chairs and a large desk all of expert workmanship. Ford was forced to part with considerable money to obtain them but is sure that the people of Phoenix will be anxious to take possession of them. He also brought back a Japanese vase which was exhibited at the San Francisco fair, and which is valued at several hundred dollars.

 It was not long before the game was interrupted by couple of intruders. Through the rear and from the front door entrance walked two policemen. The youths were politely told they were under arrest for gambling. The boys could not grasp the fact that they were charged with gambling and i'm mediately protested their innocence. One had only 50 cents. Another had five cents, while the other two were "broke." It was an evident fact that the boys could not do thriving busi- ness with so small a capital and they were immediately discharged.

much. This has been regarded and
 worked over and really is a very fine
 road-with the exception of few
 bumps the entire distance is like g
 boulevard. From Huachuca Siding we
 went to the Empire Ranch and there
 is about 10 or 12 miles of rather rough
 road in this stretch. From the Empire
 Ranch the road for 10 miles is not
 overly good. but a little better than
 the previous 10 miles. The road over
 the mountains and on to Tucson for
 the remainder of the 40 miles is very
 good and one of the most beautiful rides in the state.
 Before leaving Huachuca Siding we
 took side trip to Ft Huachuca and
 reviewed the new barracks which have been constructed there in the past year. The fort has been more than l; doubled in it's size and construction is still in progress.
 '.F'rom Tucson we went over the same road by which we came as far as Florence, but from Florence we took the highway to Higley nd Chandler And on the whole l believe that the highway is the best-although the desert road perhaps is more inter- esting and not very much different as far as riding goes.''

ITO give some idea of the in
increase in our home trade, one
of urslargest tobacco manufact-
urers has just published a state
ment showing an increase of
four-fold IN the last three years,
and if the other manufacturers
have increased in like proportion
it will be impossible for this
country tosupply even the home
demand. This big increase is
for smoking which takes bright
tobacco, and we look for still
higher averages on all the bright
crops. The normal tobacco crop
of the world is estimated at three
billion. This country makes nne
billion and all the other countries
the other two billion. But on ac-
count of the war considerably
over one billion has been cut out,
and we are called on to supply

SimOndS Indicates aFour.year war,

Looking at the situation as it
now stands, with the third an
niversary of the struggle in sight
it seems to me that every sign
points toward a four year war.
We shall continue to be pleased
by the optimistic reports that
those who sympathize with Rus
sian liberalism give US. But
there is very sound reason for
believing that these reports do
not reveal the extent of the Rus
sian collapse. Actually the AL
lied cause has been deprived of
not less than 100000 soldiers,
who were organized and COM
manded by brilliant generals.
Discipline in these armies has
been destroyed, temporarily at
least.
This collapse has given Ger
many a chance to utilize in the
West the troops that otherwise
would have been contained and
fully occupied in the East. 1t
has given her another years sup
ply of men for the West. Her
condition at the end of this time.
if she does not win victory or
peace, will be far worse than be-
fore, but this is a future consid-
Grafton. To-day she is better off
because she has new divisions to
draw upon.
A complete collapse of Russia
and the signing of a separate
peace between Germany and Rus
STA will only make the situation
worse. Then l firmly believe the
outcome of the war will depend
upon the number of hundreds of
thousands of men the United
States can put on the western
front by this time next year.
