T am fifteen years old, your honor,' said Ramon Padilla, the boy who is alleged to have been a party to the Buckeye bank robbery early Monday morning.
 When were you born?" asked Jus tice De Souza.
 T don't know" replied the de- fendant
 Then how do you know you are fifteen?" persisted the court.
 My mother told me l saw her two years ago just before she died and she said, You are ten years old"
 If you were ten years old two years ago how can you be fifteen now?"
 Well, maybe l am sixteen" said the boy eager to please
 It was the appearance of the boy. who looks scarcely more than the age he originally gave himself. that led Justice De Souza to transfer his case to the juvenile court His bond was fixed in the sum of S1,000, which he failed to furnish.
 Miguel Ozuna. arraigned at the same time and charged likewise, frankly announced his guilt. He was held to answer to the superior court, his bond being placed in the sum of s2,000. in default of which he was re- turned to jail.

 Phoenix. Arizona.
 Gentlemen:
 Does it pay to buy second hand car? This is a question that presents itself to the mind of the prospective buyer. The salesman of the new car will tell the purchaser mo- Is he right? He is. if the interest of the purchaser is not safe guarded because there is great an ave nue to cover up some defect in the machinery of car that is absolutely vital to the life of the car that one can't take the chance. He is not right, if McArthur Bros. make the sale because their equipment is such that every need of a used car is provided. The part that is worn is replaced by new one; the lustre that has become blighted by use is renewed by fresh paint. These oper- atons are done by expert mechanics in their line No car is allowed to leave the house that is not in first class condition.
 Last but not least the company stands heroically behind every job they turn out In recognition of this is their name plate upon every car turned out from their used car department.
 The name McArthur Bros. means a mark of quality rather than distinction
 All these points observed are not from fancy or hearsay but have been my obser- vations and experience gained from the Use of McArthur Bros used cars and the perience of hundreds of others have the same tdings
 The prospective buyer is referred to this firm for square deal from every view point.
 Very respectfully,
 MARTIN R. CHADICK.

 I am writing you this letter to say why it is best to buy used from McArthur Bros.
 1st-Because McArthur Bros. employ salesmen who tell true value of their used' cars
 2nd-Because McArthur Bros. give hon. est value and a square deal and don't try to mislead the purchaser Srd-Because their cars are overhauled and repaired, giving the purchaser the proud feeling of having car they can depend upon.

FIXED COPPER
 PRICE ADANGER
 SAYS ASHURST
Senator Agrees with Cover nor that Reduction Would
 Cause More Industrial
 Unrest in Arizona Mines

United States Senator Aashurst concurs with Governor Campbell that fixing the price of copper would greatly lessen the wages of mine $ under he sliding scaie arrangement by which so l,igh wages have heen paid Arizona inI1ers; for the last two years.
 Replying to the telegram sent him, Senator Smith a1G Repr esentativa Hayden the night before Senator Ashurst yesterday s,lid
 Washington D. C., Aug. 30 Hon. Thos E. Campbell,
 Governor of Arizona,
 Phoenix, Arizona
 Telegram received. I agree with you that any attempt to fix the price of copper would certainly re- suit in reduction of wages paid to copper miners and thus add to the critical posture of labor situation in the west. I have taken matter up with MT Baruch and other members of national defense com mittee and urged no reduction of fixation. l am supporting and will continue to support highest possi- ble tax on excess war profits.
 ASHURST. But according to the Associated Press dispatches of yesterday, after a conference between Bernard Baruch of the federal trade commission, it vas stated that the price of copper would be fixed and that the figure would be between 20 and 22l5 cents a pound. In that event the copper producers would have to return to the scale paid before the adoption of the sliding scale, and it is very doubtful whether that could be done without provoking an industrial unrest much more serious than any that has yet disturbed copper mining.

 Mrs. NJ. E. Smith, who lives three miles north of Peoria, was in town yesterday. Mrs. Smith is doing her bit. in furnishing soldiers for Uncle Sam. Four of her sons are called to the colors and this mother says she wants them to do their duty, only she wishes she could keep one of them at home to help her.

 w. A. Clark's drygoods store was entered some time Monday night and a quantity of goods ranging from shoes to silk scarfs was taken. The burglars broke the plate glass door in the front of the building, going out the back door, which is a heavy wire screen, bolted inside. Two Mexicans who were suspected were arrested and placed in jail.
 The preliminary trial of H. P Miner was held before Judge Patterson Tuesday at 10 o'clock. He was bound over, the bond being s7,500. He is ac- cused of shooting the man known here as John Williams the night of August IT at the Dagg ranch west of town. MT. Turner, foreman of the ranch, was the chief witness examined. Forrest Booth, the officer who made the ar rest also testified
 Jose Chovel who died Sunday night, was one of the old time Mexican res idents of this vicinity. He worked for a number of years for Alex Silva and was well known to all the old timers. Nearly all of the Mexican population turned out to pay their last respects to the memory of the old man. His age and the warm weather prevented his gaining strength during his last illness.

 Phoenix, August 25 1917. Five months ago I purchased used ear from McArthur Bros, and it has proven sat isfactory in every respect.
 At the time I knew nothing about car. stated what I wanted the car for and left the rest of it up to them. The car was turned over to me after I had learned to drive it, and everything was certainly above par.
 Since that time I have driven the car better than 5000 miles and have not had one dollars worth of work put on it. I have been paying for this car in monthly pay ments and it has nfarly paid itself up in full.
 I would say it is best to buy used car from McArthur Bros, because of this square way of doing business, and the splendid stock of different makes of from which to make a selection Another reason why it is best to buy used car from McArthur Bros. is that their name plate is the car which means they stand back of that car. They have skilled mechaincs who overhaul the cars if necessary. The buyer has no worries about the inside of the thing-all he has to do is to sit back and run it. Still another very good reason why it is best to buy used car from McArthur Bros. is the good painters in their shops. If you want piano finish on that car the color of your best girls hair they are the boys that do it.
