GET GARDENS GOING

Ihe American people responded spendidly to the call last year to increase production foods by wide spread individual effort. Owners of magnificent estates who formerly raised great tumult if a sn- gle dandelion dared to raise it's head on the lawn heroicaIy plowed their front yards and potatoes beans and onions appeared where velvet green had reigned supreme. Others with only few square feet or opportunity and only few hours week to spare also dug and planted and watered The aggregate results were really worth while, though in many cases there was crop failure The physical benefit and the feeling of patriotic endeavor was however well worth the work
 And now, another planting time is at hand the effort should be repeated and largely increased. To those whose crop disappointing there is this farmers call sour condition often cured by simply turning it over so and air and rain do their work Some soils needed only little fertilizing and some consisted of few inches of black dirt covering sand. bricks and other rubbish building But even the poorest soils will be more responsive this second year of planting, and in any the yards and gardens which will yield profitable return will total thousands of acres and every pound which can be raised at home will add just that much to the canning factories to be put in shape for shipment abroad.

STATE SERVANTS WERE SEDUCED
 AT SAN DIEGO

There is nothing to investigate" de- clared Governor George w P. Hunt, of Arizona, yesterday afternoon, says the Fl Paso Times of March 30, in referring to the alleged scandalous incident re- gently at San Diego, when certain prominent officials of Arizona were charged with inviting members of the Arizona contingent of the national guard stationed at Camp Kearny to a hotel and causing them to become in toxicated. Governor Hunt was in Fl Paso on his way to Washington.
 Instead of it being a ease of state officers buying liquor for soldiers, it was explained yesterday by Governor Hunt and Colonel Chas. w. Harris, state adjutant general, who accom- panied him, soldiers among whom was a former Phoenix man, had rented a room at San Diego hotel and had in- vited state officials to visit them. The soldiers had liquor for the entertain ment of their guests, and instead of the state officials tempting the soldiers with the liquor, as has been pub lished broadcast. it was the soldiers who furnished the liquor to the state officials, declared the governor
 A letter from the former Phoenix man, given a 30-d day. sentence in con- nection with the occurrence. is in the possession of Colonel Harris, and he exhibited it yesterday testifying to the entire innocence of the state officials charged with furnishing the liquor to the soldiers.

Be There Early

We believe that a very large majority of the people who qualified to vote will be at the polls some time today. It is very important that they should be there early for in some of the six polling places more than 1000 ballots will be cast That is going to take good deal of time. congestion late in the afternoon would result in depriving many citizens of their franchise.
 On account of the change in time winch has been made, many who are in regular employment will not have, or will not take much leeway between the time of rising and their appearance at their places of employment they would otherwise do, that they will vote after five o'clock in the evening. For that reason the congestion will be greater than usual.
 Most citizens, though, go to the polls at one time well as another and they will find it to their advantage and their peace of mind to go early
 We assuming that 5000 citizens intend to vote We not think that there are more than thousand people in Phoenix who fail to how vital the result of the election today will be.
 Be at tho polls early
 See that your neghbors are there.
 Every voter is stockholder in the Phoenix cor porstion and certain policies regarding the manage ment of this enterprse are to be determned today

FATAL ACCIDENT
 NOT AVO|DAbLE

Only a few yards from his black smith shop on the Tempe road, J. T. lvester, 5S years of age, was struck and fatally injured by passing automobile at s o'clock yesterday morning. Rushed to the Deaconess hospital he lived but an hour after the accident, never re- gaining consciousness.
 The car was owned by the Egypt stage company and driven by Sid T. Harris who was held blameless by the coroner's jury. The inquest was held in Coroner Wheeler's court and the verdict was that the accident was un- avoidable.
 According to the witnesses the trag- edy took place near Fourteenth street on the Tempe highway. An automobile stopped on the opposite side of the street from Ivesters shop and the blacksmith ilastened across unaware of the approach of an east bound stage Harris, who was driving at a moder- ate rate of speed, between 15 and 20 miles an hour, sounded the horn but lvester either did not hear or became 1 confused. The driver then to prevent an accident veered to the right, turn ing directly into the curb and applying the brakes. The pavement had been recently watered and the big car skid ded and the left front wheel struck
 lvester and dragged him a short dis
 tance. Internal injuries cuts and bruises were sustained.
 In the car with Harris were James
 F. Hutchinson, L. H. North and Home, Ross whose recital of the happenings ! bore out the statements of Harris wher 1 he took the stand.

Vote for T. p. & T. Franchise

There will be found on the ballot at the polls today a proposition extend the franchise of the Tucson Phoenix and Tidewater railroad. Vote yes. There is no opposition to it. Both candidates for mayor and all the candidates for commission have endorsed il, It is the one thing and the only thing which these gentlemen of divergent views have been able to agree
 The only danger is that many of the voters will neglect to vote at all the franchise and though it is to be adopted, in after years if the record should show that it had been adopted by very light vote the railroad company might be subjected to some embarrassment.
 The company has already abundanty manifested it's good faith. Though intervened stop rail- road building in this country, the company has gone ahead at great expense perfect s right of way it has purchased with hard cash right through the city except over streets and alleys which are not purchaseable They covered by the franchise which it is proposed to extend today.
 So vote for the franchise just as you vote for your favorite candidate for mayor or commissioner

Prohihition in Marieopa

Maricopa county saved the day for prohibition four years ago. Only of the fourteen counties in the state cast najorities for the amendment but the tremendous and very surprising majority in this county swept away the maorties in ten counties. Phoenix self contrary to expectation, added to the dry figures and the dry majority outside the city went far beyond the calculations of the gune anti-saloon workers. The election two years later at which the prohibition law amended and strengthened showed that the dry sentiment in this county has increased.
 We recall these facts a preface to the in quiry whether the people of Maricopa county have been given what they voted We that they wanted something more than a prohibition law: that they wanted prohibitions that is they expected that the law would be enforced. Otherwise they would be the losers by their victory
 It is charged that they have been given d stone instead of the bread they asked for It is sad and we do not believe it be successfully denied that the violation of the prohibition is more flag rant and frequent in the banner prohibition county than in any other. Another way of saying 1t is that the law is more badly enforced in this county than in any other.
 Previous to the adoption of the prohibition law believe town in the county outside of Phoenix dry. There much less drunkenness in those towns than there has been since, There in centive the invasion them by the bootleggers But when the whole state went dry the bootleggers into business wherever they authorities asleep friendly.
 It is true that many bootleggers have been ar rested and punished after fashion, but as a class they have been the scurviest of humanity, without influence and without friends They were really though less harmful than the bootleggers with con- nections which have given them immunity
 The prohibition question will we understand be presented to the voters in another form this sum- mer and fall The people will be asked whether they want the prohibition law kept only as adornment as certificate of civic righteousness or whether they want it enforced That, we believe will be the su- preme issue in this county.
 Our experience has been that of most states and communities which have gone dry--on paper There has ensucd long period in which the was regard cd as joke. It was so in Kansas. For long time it was held 10 be good form there to evade the law One could buy whisky by the drink bottle or gallon at almost any drug store along Shawnee Avenue in the state capital.
 That disturbing to the law abiding but they could not help themselves until Governor Stubbs came along He set out to enforce the law. He com pelled the enactment of the custer law to remove reealcitrant winking officials. It has not been necessary often to resort to that heroic The people have taken the matter into their own hands and have elected generally officials who do need ousting. And, since Governor Stubbs--Kansas has been dry In fact whereas for generation it had been dry-as we have seen, only on paper.

About 29.o00 articles were prepared and sent to enlisted men and war ref ugees by the comforts forwarding com mittee, conducted by the Christian Scientists of Boston district and To- cated at s2S Boylston street, Boston. during the first three months of the committees work. Among the goods forwarded were l6,000 knitted articles and comfort kits, $500 articles of new clothing for French. Italian, Belgian and Serbian refugee children. and about 5000 selected second hand or re- made articles of clothing.
 One American ship has been SUD- piled with enough goods, totaling $500 | pieces, to equip all the sailors on board. A large number of knitted garments and other comforts have been turned over to the different war relief associa- ! tions in Boston, which are in direct communication with the people of their respective Quntries, notably the Brit ish, French. Italian and Belgian asSo- citations. Some of the recruits from Boston for the British and Canadian forces were supplied with knitted ar ticles before they left home.
 A feature of the comforts forward : ing committees work which has brought splendid results is the unit system of preparing new garments for refugee children. Ten of the committee were first instructed in the making of 8 model garment, each of the ten in- structed ten others and the latter be- came captains of teams of ten others whom they in turn instructed. Two groups of team captains meet at the committees rooms every day to receive instructions and materials for use by themselves and the members of theil respective teams, who work at leisur, moments at home.
