Rossyille, Ga.-Mrs. Kate Lee Able, ot .iiis place, writes: My husband is an engineer, and once while lifting, he in- Inred himself with piece of heavy ma- chinery, across the abdomen. He was 70 sore he could not bear to press on himself at all, on chest or abdomen. He weighed l65 lbs, and fell off until he weighed no lbs, in two weeks.
 He became constipated and it looked Ike he would die. We had three different doctors, yet with all their medicine, his bowels failed to act. He would turn up ten-cent bottle of castor oil, and drink t two or three days in succession. He did this yet without result. We became desperate, he suffered so. He was swol- len terribly. He told me his suffering could only be described as torture.

Honey High in Price.

In spite of the fact that bees do not charge any higher wages for produc- ing honey now than they did three years ago, the price of that product, regulated by the growing demand for it, has risen out of bounds. John l.: Irwin, land registrar, tells a story which illustrates this fact.
 "Three years ago." says Irwin, "i wrote to friend of mine in Reids- vile, N. C., wholesale grocer by the name of James F. Wray, and asked him if he wanted to buy some Ari- zona honey. At that time he bought a 65-pound can, for which he had to pay $2.40.
 "Last week I got telegram from him asking me to send him another can of the honey. inquired about the price and found that it had ad- vanced to $11.50 can. So I wired him about it. He wired back to send it at that price. With the express, which will be about S5, and the ex- pense of the three telegrams, his 65- pound can of honey is going to cost him just about $1s.50."-Phoenix Ca zette.

Buying Yayapai Cattle.

James E. Treagle, the representa- tive in this section of the meat pack nig house of Morris & Co.,, Chicago, is closing up the cattle buying busi- ness for the season, and during the past three weeks has disbursed among Yavapai rangemen over $4OO,0OO in cash. Some of tke big buys were from Clarence Denny and George Miller of Fort Rock, and Dave and James Wingfield of Camp Verde, which with others brings the total number of steers shipped east to date at fully 4,000 head.
 Mir. Treagle also is negotiating for other cattle and anticipates that in the aggregate this season he will reach the half-million dollar mark Prescott Journal-Miner.

U. s. Man Here to Look After Canta- loupe Shipments.

U. s. Man Here to Look After Canta-
 loupe Shipments.
 H. s. French, investigator of fruits and vegetables of the United States bureau of markets, is here from Washington to assist in the market ing of the Arizona cantaloupe crop. He says he will issue bulletin con taining information of the cantaloupe markets of the United States, showing also the number of cars shipped out of Salt River valley every day. The bulletin will be issued every twenty four hours during the cantaloupe sea- son or for about three weeks. Charles Forrest of Atlanta, Ga., also of the bureau of markets, arrived in Phoe- nix Monday to look after the car sit uation during the cantaloupe season. The two government employees work ing together will seek to have the cantaloupe crop handled speedily and without waste. One of the chief fea- lures of the bulletin, Mir. French said, is to give such wire information every day as will do away entirely with the flooding of the markets. The bulletin will be sent to all interested in canta- loupe shipments.

Cloudburst in Yayapai.

Mr. and Mrs. Fred w. Genung and Mrs. Annie Gileland arrived yesterday from Ash Creek, and state that while approaching Dewey, about noon, ter rife rain was prevailing, which later assumed a cloudburst proportions. In few minutes afterward the whole Agua Fria valley region was inun- dated. It is believed some farms must have been damaged by the creek over flowing. Humboldt and Mayer also were on the outskirts of this storm, and the downpour in those localities was the heaviest of the season.-Pres- colt Journal Miner.

Said the young woman who spends great deal of time imaging what might happen: Suppose a fierce lion approached me from one direction, a tiger from another, and there was a rattlesnake a short distance away, coiling to strike, what would you do?"

The report on the 1917 wool crop of Arizona has just been completed by Field Agent L. M. Harrison of the United States agricultural depart ment's bureau of estimates, who has station in Phoenix. He states that the shipments for the year aggregated 5,S77,O0O pounds, compared with G,6O2,OO0 pounds the previous year. The average for the past ten years has been around 6,OOO,OOO pounds a year. The number of sheep is de- creasing, but the quality is being bet tered steadily, thus keeping up the av- craze.

The recent restriction on irrigation of lawns to certain hours every day in Tucson has already saved the city 600 gallons of oil day. The oil is now worth $2.S5 barrel, so the saving in cash can be estimated. The saving was effected by the decreased quan- tity of water to be pumped, which all lowed the pumps to be idle several hours each day.

It is probable. that a tax of S2.7O will be levied on every acre of land under cultivation in the Salt River valley for the purpose of constructing a drainage system. It has been found that the city of Phoenix cannot legal ly join with the Water Users Asso- citation in the construction of one sys- tenn, so it will probably have to issue S150,OOO worth of bonds and install pumps of it's own.

At present there are fifty families there and over 5000 acres of land are under develop ment. This season the principal prod uct will be beans, milo maize, and al- falfa.
