$50 check, giving in exchange what
he supposed to be four So bills. Later
in the evening another employe, in

been cashed. On looking them over,
he made up his mind on a certain one.
Early this morning still hunt was

CRIME WAVE COVERS
GERMAN EMPIRE

New York. Aug. War has caused
an increase in crime and depravity
among the German people; according
to an analysis published by the Berlin
Norwaerts. The paper recalls that at
the beginning of the war prophets
spoke of a "steel bath" in which the
waters of which the morals of the
German people would recuperate
"Since August 4, 1914 says the
Vorwaerts. 1--WE have allowed the
blessings of this bath to act on us
with steadily increasing vigor and
the result is a moral condition OF
health of the German people of which
the compilations Of criminal statistics
give convincing reports. These tell
US of the steadily increasing number
of crimes of brutality, and serious
crimes against property, and glance
a. any newspaper confirms the ho"-
ribly increasing number of robberies
and burgIaries in the cities and as
well in rural districts. Systematically
organized and methodically operating
hands of robbers menace continually
life and property Of respectable cit
izens.
"Also honesty Of the latter has
suffered a perceptible crack, and
here the influence Of the steel bath
is directly proved. We do not fear
that we are disclosing any state-en-
dangering secret when we announce
the fact that at present there prob
ably few German subjects left who
have not in some more or less seri-
Gus manner violated the existing gov
ernment DEGREES and laws and made
themselves liable to punishment"
The Vorwaerts then cites the in
stances Of the citizen who on Sundays
goes to the country to buy food for
boarding purposes; Of the proud wife
Of the owner of large estate, whose
chickens clay" eggs only for mark
apiece; Of the wife of the first lieu
tenant who sells the food articles re-
ceived from her husband at the front
at fancy prices, and the army Of usur-
crs, secret traders and forgers.
The Vorwaerts then dwells on the
effects sof the steel bath on the n Ow-
ing generation and cites complaints
by the clergy and teachers to show
that dcpravity is one Of its results.
The paper calls attention to what
it described as the "fruits Of the best
education as shown during the Ra
deck Bernstorff libel case" It adds:
when refined cavaliers Of the
most prominent society apply the most
common names to each other and box
each others ears, then no one has
the right to claim for one certain class
deccncy and wcl-behavior.
! "The steel bath eXcrts its effects
on everyone and splashcs over the
home Of the prolctariat as well az
over the playroom in the family of
the count" concludes the Berlin pub
,lication.

FIRST MILITARY AIRPLANES ARRIVE
 AT PHOENIX FROM SAN DIEGO. CAL.

Far off in the southwest a tiny speck appeared against the faint blue of the sky, directly over the noun tains. It grew larger and larger and then multiplied swiftly to four. Some one looked at a watch and announced the time-4:21. There was no doubt about it; the army airplanes from San Diego the town had awaited for tive days had at last been sighted. A roar of cheers broke forth from the crowd.
 The four great birds drew rapidly nearer. Within few minutes the outline of each plane could bt clearly distinguished. On they came, flying high in pursuit formation, obeying with wonderful unity the maneuvers of their leader. A faint droning noise from their engines could be heard.
 Out on the field prepared for 8 landing place, north of the race track in the fair grounds, score of people, chamber of commerce officials and police reserves, watched the fiiers anxiously as they drew nearer. Near by the special grade gasoline and oil, furnished by w. J. Pope of the Union Oil company, asked for the machines, was waiting. Colonel Gully's police reserves were waiting to keep the people back as the machines landed.
 Make Fine Landings.
 Soon the planes were almost direct ly over the field, circling gradually downward. Necks were twisted to follow their movements. The leading plane spiralled down to within a few hundred feet, like a homing falcon looking for a lighting place, while the others circled at will, so as not to in- terfere with their comrades landing.
 After circling the grounds once, the plane turned downward to land. But its speed was too great, and after ap- preaching to within 10 feet of the field, scared up again. After another circle, however, it tried again and this time came gently down on the field prepared for it.
 Field Is Small.
 Here the close quarters of the field caused an exhibition of perfect con trol by the pilot. Instead of the 3,00O-foot field expected by the fliers. a field scarcely over POO feet long had been provided. After coming to earth the plane ran on few hundred yards, then turned sharply to avoid fence at the end of the field and came to stop safely. The pilot, Major Albert Smith, commander of the squadron, leaped out and the plane was speedily wheeled to position to one side, to allow the other planes plenty of landing room.
 A few minutes later the second plane, carrying Lisutenant Huber Me Lean as pilot and Sergeant Blanton as mechanic, followed Major Smith to the ground. It was wheeled over be side the first plane. The third and

GRAZING FEES RAISED
 ON NATIONAL FORESTS

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M.-Notice has been received at Albuquerque by the District Forester that the ques- tion of charges for grazing privileges on the National Forests during the next five years has been definitely de- cided by the Secretary of Agriculture. The grazing fees will be uniform on all of the Forests of New Mexico and Arizona and will not be subject to change before the end of the five year period beginning Jan. l, 1919. The yearlong rates on the different class es of stock will be as follows: Cattle $1.00, horses $1.25, sheep and goats 25c, and swine 75c.
 At the same time that the new rates will become effective, wider extension of the five year term per- init will be authorized than hereto fore. Such a permit will not be sub ject to reduction before the end of the period for which it is issued except as may be required for forest protection. Stockmen with small outfits, who are regular users of the Forests, will be given the preference in granting the long term permits, but, after their needs are provided for, larger per mittees will be considered for as many stock as the range will safely carry.
 Forest officials believe that the bulk of the grazing business upon the "a tional Forest will soon be handled up- on the long term basis end predict a more stable and satisfactory condi- ton of the stock industry as result.

PAYS BIG TO SELECT
 BEST SEED POTATOES

An interesting demonstration in 'Coconino county of potatoes selected just from the general field run from the cellar has been completed. These are the results as reported by County Agent DeLore Nichols of Flagstaff
 'Last spring at planting time l went into the cellar with the farmer and selected two baskets of the best potatoes we could find. This took us about two hours. These made two rows right through the center of the field with the same kind of potatoes on either side but not selected. All received the same kind of care on the same kind of ground and dug with the others. At digging the selected turn ed out better yield and at least 100b better quality potato as to smoothness, shallow eyes and true to type or variety. In answer to my question: Does it pay to sort and make selection of seed?' the farmer said: It does and pays big. We have got to come to the selection of seed in this county if we intend to grow potatoes
 This is not the best way to select seed; in the field either before or at digging time is much better, but even in the cellar before planting will bring big results. It far more than pays for the time spent. It keeps up the yield, it keeps up the variety of potatoes, it pays big, it makes the potato game permanent. Do these things appeal to you?

fourth machines, bearing, respectively, Lieutenant Albert Pyle and Sergeant Lewis and Lieutenant Robert Worth ingham and Flight Surgeon Major J. H. Mckee, followed in succession. Lieutenant John Evans, official pho- tographer of the party, accompanied Major Smith in the pathfinding ma chine.
 Crowd Surges Around.
 Within an hour after the first plane had been sighted the entire squadron of four machines was lined up on the field facing the grand stand, while their pilots were congrat- ulating each other on perfect landings and removing their heavy flying clothes. Members of the chamber of commerce aviation committee were formally presented to the aviation vis- itors to the city and the police re- serves stretched ropes about the ma chimes to keep back the surging waves of the crowd which pressed around to get closer view of the machines and men.
 An uneventful flight, with the ex- ception of slight mishap at Fl Gen. tro, was reported by Major Smith. The squadron of five machines left Rockwell field, San Diego, at 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, leaky tank being responsible for the delay. The squadron arrived at Calexico, California, late in the afternoon and remained there last night, although one machine, piloted by Lieutenant Bruce Johnson, became separated from the others and spent the night in Fl Centro. In leaving there yes terday morning it ran into a tele- graph pole and was completely wrecked, the pilot escaping uninjured. The latter will return to San Diego.
 Fly at 5000 Feet.
 The other planes in the squadron did not leave Calexico until noon yes- terday, due to engine trouble. They struck the Gila river at Yuma and fol- lowed that course up to Gila Bend, where the squadron left the river and cut across the mountains for Phoenix, flying entirely by compass. An alti- tude of 6,000 feet was maintained dur ing most of the flight and the average speed was 50 miles an hour. The hightst altitude reached was 1000 feet and the fastest time of 100 miles an hour, was made between San Di- ego and Calexico.
 Major Smith reported little diff culty in crossing the mountains and said this city was located without any trouble. The fairgrounds grandstand and fenced race track were sighted while the planes were 20 miles dis tant. The exact landing field was easily located by the big canvas marker placed there yesterday morn ing. Excepting delays in getting started, the flight was described as entirely successful. Squadron for nation was maintained throughout.

 BOND REFUND MONEY

Ky bonds, which were brought into questionable birth when Coconino was part of Yavapai county. County Attorney c. B. Will son, of Coconino and Charles Wool folk, chairman of the board of super visors of that county, were in attend ance upon the conference. To further consider this matter joint meeting of the boards of supervisors of the

two counties has been called for Dec. 23rd, to be held in Prescott, which will be attended by MT. Boyce. In the Pima county case, identical, these bonds were declared illegal and void by the supreme court of the United States, but Arizona elected republican del- egate to congress whose mission was to dig up and legalize all the grave yard bonds to be located, and these bonds were legalized by act of con- gress, after which the U. S. Supreme Court ruled that they were legal. The mix-up between the two counties in the bond matter grew out of the coun- ty division, when Coconino was sliced from old mother Yavapai.-Prescott Courier
