WESTERN CANADA'S
CROPS


Never in the history Of Western
Canada did the seed enter the ground
under more favorable conditions. Tho
weather during the month of April
was perfect for seeding operations
and from early morning until late at
night the seeders were at work. and
every acre that could be probably
sown was placed under requisitlon.
Farmers entered heart and soul into
the campaign of greater production.
There was the time and the opportu-
nifty for careful preparation. and as
consequence with favorable weather
from now on there will be a vastly in
creased yield. They realized it was
duty they owed to humanity to produce
all that they could on the land. not
only this year but next as well. In
addition to the patriotic aspect, they
are aware that the more they produce
the greater will be their own return
I'm dollars and cents.
In many districts wheat seeding was
completed by the LIST Of May. after
which date oats and barley on larger
acreages than usual were planted.
AS has been said, favorable weather
conditions made possible excellent
seed-bed preparation, and the seed has
gone into the ground in unusually good
shape. The available moisture in the
soil has been added to by rains. which
have not been so heavy. however, as to

An optimistic feeling prevails among

now on is as favorable as it has begun,
these hopes should be realized. Mr..

NAMES CHECKED
 0N LIST, 7,047

With the completion of the compila tion of the names recorded as voters during the supplemental registration which closed on Friday night, it has been determined that exactly 7,O4i people are named on the registration books as eligible to vote at the coming general municipal election. When the books closed figures hastily compiled indicated that the grand total would be 7,077. Duplications and other er- TOTS have taken thirty from this num- Der leaving the grand total of 7,047 names.
 Despite the reduction of 30 names. the registration of the spring of 1918 is still q record breaker in Phoenix. Several hundred more names were re- corded during the general registration before the primaries and during the supplemental registration just closed than ever before in like period. From this showing it is expected that the general election to be held on April will witness a heavier vote boiled than ever before in this city.
 The work of compiling the names alphabetically and by precincts was completed last Sunday afternoon and
 
 great register rushed at once to the printer. It is expected that the great register. the supplemental register and the register by precicints will be deliv- cred by the printer not later than to- morrow evening. This will bring il wholly within the time permitted by law for the compilation of the register
 Interest in the approaching election increases daily as the time draws neal for the casting of the ballots. The Corpstein- Barnett Powell workers arc busily engaged in preparing and check ing their lists and making ready fol the real work of getting out the vote on April 2. This is true, too,, of the Woods Irvine Mills workers. In many instances house to house canvasses are being made. Both sides are con- fidentially claiming victory on election day.

EAST VERY BLUE
 OVER WAR WORD

Superintendent c. M. Scott, of the Arizona Eastern railroad returned yes terday from a trip to Chicago, where he was in attendance earlier in the month at an annual convention of rail- way maintenance of way men. He said last evening that the convention called together between 300 and 400 of the country's brightest men of this branch of railroading and that this resulted in beneficial exchange of ideas
 In addition to the holding of the convention there was an exhibition of the latest appliances and apparatus employed in maintenance and in op- eration of railroads. This exhibit took on much the form of small fair and gave many of the visiting railway men their first glimpses of the very latest appliances.
 Chicago is just beginning to have some regular spring weather" declared Superintendent Scott last evening. There is plenty of smoke hanging over the city until Chicago now resembles PiNsburg in that respect
 We out west here can hardly inn agine the seriousness with which the people of Chicago and the east are talk ing the war situation. The news of the reverses of the allies has caused a gloom to pervade practically every gathering. The people with whom I came in contact were visibly blue over the latest turn war affairs have taken 'but are optimistic of the future.v

TYPOS T0 DANCE
 TO AID FELLOWS

Every year a number of printers, af- flicted with diseases to which members of the craft are especially susceptible, come to the Salt River valley ill the hope of improving their condition. They come from all parts of the United States, but principally from the eastern and southern states. The International Typographical Union maintins an in stitution at Colorado Springs where aged, infirm and suffering printers are cared for, but as rule the home IS filled to it's capacity, and, further, many eligible for admittance find the altitude of Colorado Springs too great for their comfort.
 So, many printers must seek another location, and everyone who knows the beneficial effects of the Salt River val ley climate can understand why Phoe- nix becomes the mecca for those in search of health.
 The local printers voluntarily as sume the care of their afflicted fellow workmen, and in so doing they take upon themselves noble, humane work of love and sacrifice, but withal a work which makes a heavy demand upon their time and finances. The money neded is raised in various ways, but the only method in which the public IS asked to participate is the giving of the annual benefit ball by the Phoenix Ty- geographical Union. It is annually the custom to give this dance on Easter | Monday, and the proceeds are placed ] in the sick fund.
 This year the date of the dance is April 1-neXt Monday night. For sev- eral weeks a committee has been at work arranging for what is hoped will be the largest affair of it's kind this season. Patrick's hall and Besse's six piece orchestra are drawing cards, anC a good program and refreshments vii add to the pleasure. The sale of tick cts so far gives promise of there being an attendance seldom eQualled.

 During his residence in New Mexico he became acquainted with nearly ev- cry prominent figure in the then terri tory, from General Lew Wallace, the governor. down to the outlaw, Billy the Kid" Mir. Bush was an outspoken man. of strong likes and equally strong dislikes and to those whom he liked he was a staunch and answering friend.
