ity to the people at once to help

but will also generously contribute
of his means to make it possible for
the men at the front to achieve vic
tory. ] am confident that the far
mers Of the land will not permit any
other class to take the leadership in
supporting the Government in this
crisis, financially or otherwise"

Health very good, except bad
col Is,
The weather has been very favor
able for some time. Farmers have
made some Roadway with their farm
work. A considerable amount OF
blowing was done last week. 1t
seems that very few oats have been
sown this spring. The causes we
suppose are that seed oats was too
high and that corn is more plentifu
than usual.

From present indications if the

bumper cotton crop raised. 1t is
the opinion of the most conserva-
tive people that if we fail to raise
food crop of sufficient quantity to
supply the south we will suffer. Ii
is estimated that if money will buy
supplies, that the railroads cannot
handle the freight sufficient to feed
the people. If we raise our own
grub" We will not be dependent
on anyone to supply us. Another
g eat and important cause for us to
raise food crop is we have hun
dreds of good boys in the govern
ment service that will have to be
fed and clothed and we must not
fail to do our bit. We believe that
the government should stop spec
ulation on the seed supply, its ri
diculous to say the least of il.

COUNTY WOULD CON-
 DEMN ROAD AT HILLSIDE
(From Thursdays Daiiv.l

County Attorney F. l.. Haworth yesterday filed suit in the name of Yavapai county against Mack Bow man of Hillside, the action having been instituted in an attempt to con demn right-of-way for public highway between Hillside and the Santa Maria, the proposed highway to pass over land now owned by the de- fendant.
 The complaint alleges that Bow man has refused to allow the coun- ty to run the road over his ranch after having been offered reasonable sum for the use of the land. Bow man, it is said, has demanded the sum of Sl000 for the privilege of al lowing the route to be put through his tract, and the complaint filed yes terday alleged that the land Is of a value not to exceed 8 per acre. Bow mans contention is that he owns a clear title to the land in question, and the county, on the other hand, IS not at all certain as to the validity of the defendants title It seems that the land in question furnished the only desirable approach to the river, and for this reason the county IS loath to change from the route that has been selected A concrete apron IS to be built at the river crossing and if the court decides that the county has a right to condemn a strip through the Bowman land. a force of men will be at once put to work on the river crOssinq

Crowley and his force raided the establishment of George Budinaich. two doors north of the Palace pool hall, arrested the proprietor, poured l20 gallons of raisin wine out upon the frosty earth, and confiscated a quantity of raw materials.
 The Budinaich place had been un- der observation for some time and when the officers swooped down they knew pretty well what they were go- ing to find. They found eighty gal Ions of wine ready for sale and forty gallons more in process of fermen- 'ation. Two barrels were filled with raisins.
 The officers merely carried away bucketful to convince the court that Bundinaich had been turning out real joy water instead of vinegar, as so many raiSin consumers claim when arraigned at the bar of justice. As for the remainder of the Bundinaich stock, it was destroyed by the sim pie process of tipping the barrels over.
