STATE HIGHWAY VIA SENATOR BILL, VETOED

TIME IS NOT RIPE FOR BUILDING OF SCENIC ROADS,; COTTONWOOD BRIDGE MEASURE BE- COMES A LAW WITHOUT EXECUTIVES NAME.
Special to the Journal-N Miner.

Special to the Journal-Niner.
 PHOENIX, March 20.-The State highway bill, providing for continuing that road from its present terminus near Prescott, to Phoenix, via Senator and Silver Mountain, was vetoed to- day by Governor Campbell. It was Senator Getchell's pet measure but the governor believes the time is not ripe for the construction of purely scenic roads. Many items in the gen eral appropriation bill were slashed, notably the sections providing corn for the board of control, which body was abolished and in its place sub stituted board of public welfare by the legislature. Many measures, in fact a large batch of them went to the secretary of State without the governors signature and thus became statutes without his express approval. Among them was Rutherford's bill for a bridge across the Verde al Cottonwood.
 Among other bills he signed were house bill No. l07, providing for the construction of an approach to the bridge across the Agua Fria at Cold water. and appropriating S22,GO0. Sem ate bill No. @, providing for the con struction of an approach to the bridge across the Gila at Wellton, and ap- propriating S50,000 Senate bill No. 4l, providing S5O,OOO to be used for the construction and repair of the ap- proach to the bridge across the Gila at Florence.
 House bill No. o0, which amends paragraph 5l23, chapter ?, title 50, re- vised statutes of Arizona, 1915. civil code and chapter Go first special ses- sion law, 1912, providing for ten cent levy on each Sl00 valuation of all the asscssable property in the State, the money raised to go into a fund known as "thc State road tax fund.' Twenty-Five per cent of this fund may be expended under super vision of the board of control and the State engineer, the remaining $ per cent to be given to the counties, pro rated according to the amount of money collected in each county.
 House bill No. 5, amending sec tions 3lo to 323, chapter 10, title 9, re- vised statutes of Arizona, known as the 'anti-gambling law" This pro hibits the shaking of the dice game known as "26," and very popular over the State. It was reported sev- eral days ago, that the bill had been signed, but it was an error.
 Senate bill No. l52, appropriating S30.000 for the erection of a mines building at the State fair grounds. Substitute senate bill No. A, amend ing chapter I, title 4S, paragraph 8, re- vised statutes of Arizona civil code, relating to the practice of medicine.

UNABLE ID TELL WHERE MONEY
 COMES FROM
WAR LOAN CAUSES BANKERS OF GERMANY TO INDULGE IN FIGUR- ING, AS TO SOURCE OF SINEWS OF COMBAT.

BERNE, March 2l-The issue of Gcrmany's sixth war loan has again raised the question as to the sources of the empires sinews of war.
 It is mystery which even expert bankers are unable satisfactorily to explain. The financial experts point out that the German people are living much more economically than ever before while their earnings have greatly increased and also that the capital formerly used in carrying on the foreign trade of the country, side tracked from its original use by the British blockade, had been invested in war bonds They add that much capital which was locked up in raw materials in warehouses and factories was released when the stocks were turned into finished goods after the outbreak of the war and sold at un usually large profits.
 Male Body is Burden.
 After giving these explanations the linanciers freely admit that they arc far from meeting the situation. While the factors mentioned figured largely in the earlier war loans it is contend cd that by now they must have spent their force The two facts which can not be dodged are that nearly the en- tire ablc-bodicd male population has been withdrawn from production and has become a huge burden on the economic powers of the country and, secondly, that the foreign trade, the source of enormous profit before the war, has practically ceased to exist.
 In the face of these adverse facts, Germany raised last year two war loans which called for subscription oi fully S5,0O0,O00,000, an amount far in excess of what the German people were able to invest in securities in even the best year before the war.
 Germans arc, however, more deeply interested just now in financial prob loms of the future than finding cx- plantations for past successes. The rapid growth Of the national deb; with the certain prospect of further big expansion, undoubtedly is the source of the gravest anxiety among thoughtful fnancicrs and economists The war expenditures up to the pres ,-.,.,,,s.I i,1, ,-, excess of Sl4,OO0,OOC,OO0 and are cx- pectcd to reach S20,OOO,OOOOO0 by the end of the year ii the war continues that long.
 Interest is Enormous.
 The interest on this sum will amount to Sl,OO0,OOOO0O a year, to say nothing of sinking fund requirements for the paying off of principal and of the yearly payments in pensions tc the great host of cripples, widows and orphans. Men arc staggered at the huge proportions that the annual ap- propriation bills arc certain to assume
 Not a few of the rich men who have created the wealth of the present gen eration are saying that they will be thankful if they get off with taxes equal to half of their incomes. It is even said at Berlin that the financial authorities of the empire arc contem- plating certain measures of coniisca- ton of property after the war as means of paying off the national debt Rcpudiation Is never mentioned

FAILURES IN MAKING POSTS
Trouble Frequently Due to Dirty Sand,
Stone or Lumpy Cement-Avoid
Rusty Material.

(By F. W. IVES, Ohio Experiment Sta
tion)
Failures in the making of concrete
causes that may be easily remedied.
Most failures come from using
dirty sand, stone or iumpy ce-
ment.
Concrete posts must be re-enfOrced
TO furnish strength necessary to avoid
breakage by pull of fence or impact
of animals or machinery. Three or
four No. 3 wires will give the proper
reinforcement.
Rusty re-enforcements should never
be used. Rusty material continues TO
rust after being imbedded in thin lay
ers of concrete, although concrete will
protect steel or iron in good condi-
ton.
Concrete maintained at a tempera-
ture of 60 TO 20 degrees will have
practically double the strength at the
end of week than the same material
kept at temperature of 30 to 40 de-
grees.
Posts should not be used until they
are three or four weeks old. Even a
longer time is desirable.

DIRE WORK OF HESSIAN FLY
Presence of Small Pest Can Reduce
Worlds Wheat Crop TO Thing of
Small Account.

The HesSian fly, imported into Amer
lea by the Hessians during the revolu-
ton, is humble mite when regarded
merely as an insect; but it assumes
giant proportions in its relation 10 the
national wheat crop. The Hessian fly
(Cecidomyia destructor) is one Of the
Gall-midgeS, and during its adult stage
its powers for mischief are only indi-
rect, being confined TO laying the eggs
out of which will come the larvae
which may decide the fate of nations.
These eggs, minute, glossy and reddish
in color. are laid In the burrows on the
upper surface cf the leaves of the ris-
ing crops of wheat, barley or rye. The
larvae have the form of minute mag
gots, and Immediately on Matching mi

above the first or second joint or knot
In the stem.
The infested plant, weakened by loss
of sap, "elbows" over just above the
seat of injury. so as to give the crop
weather-beaten appearance. In about
month. or less, according TO climatic
conditions, the larva becomes full
fed" and enters the pupal stage. At
this time its skin exudes liquid which,
on exposure to the air, hardens to form
case bearing q close resemblance to
flaxseed, and hence this is known by
the farmers as the "flaxseed" stage.
In spite of the presence of the larvae,
a certain percentage of the plants come
to maturity, becoming a serious menace
TO the crops of next year. And this be-
cause the larvae in the "flaxseed" stage
are left attached to the stubble, and
in due time give rise to the adult fly,
which then proceeds TO infect the au-
tumn-sown wheat.

feed more dry grain and less Silage,
cutting the silage ration down to 30
pounds per head daily.
Tests of the carcass show 6 per cent
more water in the meat. This could
be also expected on grass feed. 1t is
only the dry feed that puts on the
firmest meat. This would hardly be
an objection to silage for the fattening
steer. The silO is a means of saving
the most of the crop, and will make
feed at low cost. Even where steers
have been fed on the tests on silage
alone, the gains were good and the
product in the finish excellent. Silage
feed has come to be recognized by both
the dairyman and beef grower.

Diet, Exercise or Death

An eminent medical authority writes
that most of our city folks die of thick
ening OF the arteries or of kidney dis
case. The kidneys become clogged and
do not filter the poisons from the blood,
and one trouble follows another, high
blood pressure damages the heart, arteries
and kidneys. Usually its danger signals
are backache, pain here or there, swollen
feet or ankles, rheumatic twinges or
spots appearing before the eyes.
The veiy best remedy is this: Eat
meat but once day, or not at all. Plenty
OF outdoor exercise, and drink pure
water frequently. Before meals take a
httle Anuric, the great uric acid neu-
trailer that is easily obtained at the
drug store. When you have dizziness,
ehlils or sweating, worry, or dragging
pans IN back, try this wonderful enemy
TO urlc acid, which DR. Pierce of Buffalo,
