or appear that any of the ballots cast had been rejected or not counted for any reason, these ballots must be declared invalid and deducted from the total number of votes cast. Thereafter it is purely a mathemat- ical question.
 Votes Cast Reduced
 In the canvass of the ballots, as conducted from the figures and mo- tations in the several poll lists, it was finally determined that. a total of 4 ,563 votes had been cast at the primary election. This was four less than the number reported on the evening of the election, and means that the commission in it's canvass found reason for dropping four bal lots from the number as originally reported.
 A canvass of the vote for Mayor Corpstein revealed that the number cast for him was the same as orig finally reported, or 2270. This was not sufficient to constitute a ma jority of all the votes, though it was IS more votes than had been re- corded for Woods. Upon this show ing. Judge Sloan ruled that neither candidate had been elected and that thtii liuiieo must dppcdl Ol lAt ballot of the general election.
 Neither Wishes Techncality
 During the course of the canvass both Mayor Corpstein and Commis- sioner Woods expressed themselves as not desiring an office not fairly won. Each said they would rather go before the people for a final de- cision at the polls, than to be placed in an office by doubtful means.
 Upon the adoption of motion approving a certificate of election as candidates of Mayor Corpstein and Commissioner Woods, the commits sion adjourned and tense situation was relieved. The adoption of this action took all the fight out of the adherents of either of the two can | didates and insures against any court proceedings with relation to the re- | suit of the primary election. Following is the certificate of cleo tion as adopted and signed by the commission unanimously:

CHANDLER MEN ID
 BOOST RED CROSS

CHANDLER, March 5.-The men of Chandler are getting ready to do their bit. and to that end intend to serve the people of Chandler with a bouncing repast, the proceeds to go to the Red Cross. When the com- mittee in charge approaches man and asks him if he can cook, he swells all up and invariably remarks Well, 1 should say I can' Then it is necessary to listen to a recital of how he can make pancakes. The committee informs the victim that he is just the man needed for the dinner, and the way the alleged cooks hunt their holes is a joy to behold. But the affair will be held in the schoolhouse, some 50 men will have charge of the bread line, while a number of features are down on the program that cannot be divulged. Dr. Perry, the Y. M. c. A. war sec- retary, will talk after the feast, and this feature alone is worth the price of admission.

BOTH CORPSTE|N AND WOODS TO , G0 IN FINAL ELECTION BALLOT

Peter Corpstein and Frank Woods. the former candidate to succeed himself for the office of mayor, the latter opposing the candidacy or Corpstein for the same office, must go before the electors of Phoenix at the general city election to be held April in order to decide which is Co serve the ensuing two years as executive of this city. A canvass of the votes cast at the recent primary election made by the city commits sion sitting in special session yes terday afternoon, revealed that al- though IS more votes were cast for Corpstein than for Woods, Corpstein had not received a majority of "all the votes cast at such primary elec- ton" and had therefore succeeded only in landing a nomination as can didate for the office.
 Only One Eliminated
 The result of the primary election, as already stated in The Republican, amounted only to the elimination of W. s. Norveil as a candidate for the city commission. The names of all the other candidates at the primary election will appear upon the ballot for the general election.
 When the mayor and all the com- missioners had taken their seats yes terday afternoon. there was quite an array of spectators in the commis- sion chambers. among these being several lawyers and people interested in the candidacy of one or another of the candidates. City Attorney Richard F. Sloan was on hand as the representative of the commission, while Former City Attorney George D. Christy was present as the rep resentative of Frank Woods.
 Follow State Methods
 Upon an inquiry from Mayor Corp stein as to just what procedure the commission was called upon to fol- low in the matter of the canvassing of the votes. Judge Sloan pointed out that the city election ordinances fol- low the general procedure marked out by the state law relating to the canvasslng of the returns of an elec- ton. He said the city commission constitutes a canvassing board pure and simple, and therefore, the com mission could only go by the re- turns. He said that if it be shown

pass by, it will not be improbable that the laborers having had learnt a trade in the factories will be utilized in the business to which they have diverted their energies during the war and that the supply as well as the demand is shifting to it's normal stage.
 Another fact not to be overlooked in reckoning the possibilities of the tractor. Compare the blowing of yes terday with horse power to that of to- day of the motor driven machine The most tiresome and telling tasks for man and beast are but play for the tractor. Compare the hot, tired horse during the long summer day and the impatient driver, striving to get a cer- tain piece of work finished at the proper time, with the motor driven machine rolling around the field tilling the soil or cultivating the crops, bet ter, easier than ever was possible with horse power.

year will be a more careful conserva- ton of farm power. It is recognized that even after making allowances of all the tens of thousands of motor driven machines which will be put in use during this year, that there will yet be a demand for power so great that every possible source will be of necessity utilized to it's full capacity.
 From the Dairyman's League we learn that labor costs on the farm have increased over thirty-three per cent since the beginning of the war. The selective draft and the high prices paid to rush the work at cantonments and factories have made farm labor very hard to get at any price and with the farmer confronting the govern ment's demand for increased produc- tion and with prices that are tantaliz- ing in the offer of liberal profits. The farmer is the one man who is going to be hard pressed for labor for the
Arizona republican., 1918-03-06

next few years if we may judge from present indications.
 Now is when the tractor comes into its own. It will be called upon to do the work of the men who have been called from the farm to the service of their country. Now is the time when the motor farm tool will cut a wide swath in solving the labor problem on the farm As I have said, labor is scarce at any price and for the farmer, especially the cotton farmer. this Is a serious fact But with the advent of the tractor it relieves to a large extent this embarrassment.
 In years gone by with the tractor in a more or less experimental stage, with the cost so prohibitive that only a farmer tilling large areas could make it paying proposition by owning one. the average size or small farmer did not have a look in. But time has changed these conditions. There are

Dairymen Organizing

About 40 dairymen gathered at the L. D. s. hall Saturday evening to listen to speakers brought here by the Maricopa County Dairymen's as- sociation. Lin B. Orme, Frank Stewart and MT. Lechering came from Phoenix and discussed the cost survey being made by the govern ment in a most comprehensive man. ner Frank Reed Sanders presided. A statement made by Prof. Hunsaker of Illinois, who has investigated con- densing plants, showed that a 1,000- unit plant, similar to the one in op- eration at Tempe cost about $175,000 to install, and that profits of from 200 to 300 per cent were netted yearly from such a capacity plant. It was also brought out at the meet ing that it cost $15 a month to feed the average COW. and placing butter fat at 60 cents a pound, it would only net the producer SS or $9, show ing a clear loss to the farmer. As a result of this condition, the gov ernment has sent an expert to the valley to make 8 survey of the milk production, and while he has already been convinced personally that the farmer must receive more for his product, it is necessary to compile data before the government can act in the matter.

now on the market machines suitable for the smallest of farms. even to the truck grower, that will cost him less than a team of herses will today, will do more work and with considerable less upkeep expense. This is the tractor that will fill a greater portion of this labor gap. It will not be so much the power machine, but the smaller one that will handle the work on the small CT farm.
 In my mind the scarcity of labor will not prove a detriment to us, but rather will be the means of awakening the farmer to not depend on labor and ami mai power to handle his work, but the motor tool instead, at a smaller cost per acre and with an increase in acreage and at less cost than under the old regime.
 Some claim this farm labor shortage will not only be temporary but per manent issue, that when these times

Less than a hundred years ago a bushel of wheat represented three hours and three minutes of labor. Now, with modern farm tools, it represents eight minutes ,labor-a saving of al most three hours. The American farmer was able to do this because he scrapped the scythe for the sickle and the reaper for the binder, the single blow for the gang blow, horse pull for tractor pull and so on with all farm machinery. over other manufacturers until he is the, greatest per man producer in the world.
