the second prohibition rally and mass
meeting. held Thursday evening in
the 34th district courtroom, which
was filled TO capacity. Speakers. in
GLIDING bankers, lawyers and min
listers each gave the reason which ap-
pealed to them in their personal pur-
suits why FL Paso should outlaw the
open saloon on January so.

by saloons will give way to grocers,

Booze Murder Cost $4,000.
The question Of saloon revenues to
the city and county was taken up by
Mr.. WingO. He was informed they pay
s27, 900 license and $4,000 ad valorem
taxes to the city annually and a like
sum TO the county. The speaker cited
one murder trial caused by booze that
viii cost $4,000 alone. He cited the
experience Of Las Cruces, n. M,
where last year there were five sa-
looms, paying in all $4,000 licenses. One
murder trial, the deed having been
caused by drink, cost $1,000 there, he
said
There are about 40 saloons in EI
Paso and Mr.. WingO could not find
over six on the budget fund list OF
the chamber Of commerce. The sa-
looms. he thought, did not give over
$1,000 a year 10 this fund, which is
used to upbuild FL Paso.

Compare Troco zDith the
Best Creamery Butter

The test of Troco is on the
table, in comparison with the
best creamery butter. This is
where it wins butter lovers.
For cooking it has no equal,
either in results or from the
standpoint of economy. Troco
goes farther than butter.
Old laws, made before Troco
was invented, compel US to label
it as an oleomargarine. This is
extremely misleading.
Troco is a quality product
used in homes where only the
best is tolerated. Here flavor,
quality and the assurance of fas-
tidious manufacturing methods
insure the popularity of Troco.

SOlpeS the Butter
Problem

Troco is not merely a butter
substitute; it is the successor to
butter. 1t tastes exactly like the
finest creamery butter and is as
digestble as butter, with the
same high .nutritive value.
Troco solves the butter prob
lem for those who hitherto have
used nothing but the best cream

say that rarely is butter so
sweet and delicate in flavor.

TOURISTS SAVED FROM DEATH ONLY
 BY BIT 0F LUCK

Travelling along the rutty road some 15 miles the other side of Globe, motor party from California on it's way to inspect some mining property in the klondike region, sustained what might easily have been d fatal acci- dent if it had not been for good luck and a huge boulder which stopped the rolling car from plunging to the bottom of a deep arroyo when front spring broke, causing the driver to lose con- trol of his car.
 The party of motorists consisted of William Horsley of 6121, Selma avenue. Hollywood, California, and R. F. Taylor and son, Everett, of 461 West Seventh street, Riverside, California. Mir. Tay Tor is a prominent constructing en- sineer on the coast, while Mir Horsley is in charge of the laborat tories develop ing motion picture films for the Christy Comedy and the InteratiOnnal Film companies.
 The three men left Los Angeles some time ago in their Studebaker Six, talk ing along some light camping equip ment, to inspect some mining proper ties owned by MT. Horsley in the Klon- dike region. The party arrived in
 
 for the trip to the mines.
 Next morning they left for the mines, but on the road, some 15 miles the other side of Globe, a front spring, weakened by the continual bouncing over the rutted road, gave way, causing MT Horsley to lose control of his car which turned turtle and rolled down the steep side of an arroyo on whose | nj, 1,D ho,r foaf from the road, however. the car brought up against large boulder, which saved the car from being entirely smashed and quite likely saved the lives of the motorists. who stuck to the cal | throughout.

CROP CONDITIONS IN
 ARIZONA EXCELLENT

K. Q. Grant, meteorologist, reported conditions for the week ending July 29, as follows:
 Showers were confined to eastern and southern Arizona and western New Mexico and were generally bene- ficial to those sections. Range cond- tions in southeastern Arizona and the upper Gila valley in New Mexico con- tinue to improve slowly. A lack of water is reported in isolated places in those sections but plentiful supply continues in the eastern and northern counties.
 Crop Progress in Arizona
 Favorable crop conditions prevailed over the state generally. The scattered showers were of light consequence ex- cept in the southeastern portion of the state where the moisture is badly needed. In that section grain sor- ghums and field beans made fair prog ress. In the southwestern irrigation areas cotton made good progress and continued to fruit well. Alfalfa thresh- ing continued with a comparatively short yield owing to attacks of the calchis fly. Cantaloup shipments closed with a record number of carlots for the season.
 In the northern counties cool nights have favored the filing of wheat and oats. The former is not uniformly good but an increased acreage will af- ford more than the average crop. All crops in that section made good pro- CreSS
