Arizona Asked to Increase Acreage in
 Wheat in 1919,

The farmers of the United States will be asked to SOW this fall not less than 45,000,000 acres in wheat, an in crease of seven per cent over last years sowing, it is announced in the weekly news letter urging Liberty harvest" in 1919. The minimum for Arizona is 46,000 acres, and 48,000 acres is the maximum. In 1917 the acreage of this state in wheat was A. 900 acres.
 The department suggests that an even greater area, 47,500,000 acres, an increase of more than 12 per cent over last year, could be sown if conditions are especially favorable in all the states.
 From the smaller acreage suggest ed, harvest of 36,000,000 bushels might be expected and from the larger, 667,000,000. It will not be noted that this is winter wheat. Win ter wheat is urged in sections where it is practicable because the depart ment says it is safer crop and pro- duces more heavily.
 An increase in the acreage is urged because of the need of providing for the current needs of the United States and the Allies and also of building up a wheat reserve.

WHO'S WHO AND WHY?

Some Democratic papers over the state seem to take offense at the wide open method of the Republican State Central Committee in asking for funds to help fight the battles of the party. It must be remembered that all the state funds are in the hands of the Democratic party; corporations are not looking for help from people out of power, therefore if a person believes in Republican principles there is no honest reason why he should not donate to a fund to offset the Demo- cratic barrel that has flooded the country with what they are pleased to term publicity" and franked to read CTS. It's great game if you are on the inside looking out.

PRISONERS ATTEMPT DELIVERY
 FROM CAPITAL CITY JAIL

J. E. O'Neil, a deputy sheriff, was stabbed in the back and slightly wounded at 10:30 o'clock Monday night when half-dozen prisoners in the Maricopa county jail at Phoenix attempted to escape.
 O'Neil had gone into the corridor of the jail to lock Ival McCann in a cell for the night. As McCann and the officer were engaged in moving the formers cot into cell, Harvey Ward jumped on the officers back, wrap ping his arms around O'Neil's neck in an attempt to strangle him. Ward is the man who attempted suicide in the jail by drinking throat wash Sun day night.
 D. E. Baker, a federal prisoner being held for violation of the espion- age act, plunged the blade of a pair of scissors into the left side of O'Neil's back, just under the shoulder blade. The blade made a deep, ugly gash.
 Two or three others mixed in the fray while McCann and another pris- oner named Wilson came to the aid of the officer. Outnumbered, they were slowly being overpowered when Dep uty Sheriff Joe Balsz and three citi- zens heard 0'Neil's calls for help. Lev cling his revolver at the prisoners, Balsz restored order in the jail.
 It is the belief of officers that some of the men had carefully planned the delivery and had made preparation for disposing of the officer when he ap- peared in the jail to lock McCann up for the night.

WEEKLY KANSAS CITY
 STOCK MARKET REPORT

KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS, Monday, Aug. 12.-Total cattle re- ceipts dropped to 10000 head today, lightest Monday run in two months, market 25 to 50 higher than Friday, 50c to $1 above low time last week, best steers here $1S.15. Hogs today 1000, market strong to 25 higher, top S19.60, bulk of sales SIS to $19.25. Sheep today 4,O00, choice range lambs at $17.75, fat ewes $l3.65.
 Beef Cattle.
 Most of the strength since the mid dle of last week came from feeder buyers. although packers showed more interest today, and took all the fieshy steers. Good corn-fed steers sold up to Sl8.15, with prime steers worth $1S.5O, best Kansas grass steers here Sl7.25. The government has cut out meatless days, and requested that do- mestic consumption be restricted to ligh< weight carcassss. Action is ex- pected in Congress today on the proposition of reducing army beef car cass limit to 400 lbs., and if this is favorably considered, it will be a big boost for cattlemen everywhere. Cows have taken the full advance since last week. Prices on all grades are now netting a profit to most grazers and feeders.
 StOckers and Feeders.
 Big shipments of stockers and feed CTS went to the country Wednesday and thereafter last week, including 100 carloads sent out Sunday. More buyers are here today than can get cattle, and they are remaining over till later in the week. Their presence raises the morale of the whole cattle market. Feeders sold up to $16.50, stockers mostly $S to SIP.
 Hogs.
 Order buyers and spectators paid up to S19.60 on the early market, but packers were obstinate, and bought little before noon. However, they finally cleaned up the supply at strong to 25 higher prices, paying $19 to S19.25 for fair to good hogs. Consid- erable common stuff was included, and held over, hence the wide range in bulk of sales. Best light hogs sold at S19.10. Stock pigs sold 50 higher to- day, best at S17.75. Hog receipts are running light, and a strong advance in prices is expected this week.
 Sheep and Lambs.
 The market had it's first chance this season today to extend itself, when three cars of choice Colorados from Glenwood Springs came in, the fat lambs selling at S17.75, fat ewes $13.65. Best native lambs lack qual- ity, and sell at S16.50 to $17.25, and fat native ewes sell up to SIS. Feed ing lambs have been selling at SIG to $17, with choice Westerns worth more than that.

The Speed of Animals.

He is "slow as an OK" as "fleet as deer," as fast as horse," or as swift as an antelope"
 How many times have you heard these expressions, which bring to nina the question, "How fast do animals move?" Few know just now fast or slow they are, but an interesting com putation by scientists is destined to throw light on the matter.
 A riding horse covers forty inches while walking, while at jog trot it covers eleven feet in second. The two-minute horse, forty-four feet in a second. The leisurely OK moves over only two feet a second when hitched to a wagon and about twenty inches when attached to a blow. The ele- phant, which can pull more than six horses, moves only about four and one-half feet second, and running as rapidly as it can is able to run but eighteen feet second.
 The lion is claimed to run faster than the swiftest horse, which is from 80 to 100 feet a second, while others claim it cannot tracel more than half that distance. All deer are speedy ami mals. A roebuck has been known to cover seventy-four feet second when pursued by dogs. The giraffe is said to pass over the ground at the rate of about fifty feet second, while the kangaroo covers ten to fourteen feet a second Tortoise five inches long makes about half-inch in a second.

Give 91 Mortgages in Making Loan
 to Build Lyman Dam.

" Duiu Ly itidu DdIus
 With the payment two days ago by David F. Johnson, state treasurer, of $45,350 to the Lyman Water Company as the first installment of S120,000 loaned by the state and Denver par ties with which to complete the Ly- man dam and project, large amount of routine work has been completed, the doing of which has taken much time and energy.
 Ninety-one mortgages, aggregating $126,990, have been recorded in Apache county for state loans, all in connection with the Lyman project. To this $126,990 will be added $1S,OO0 in cash by the Lyman Water Company and a further cash advance of $4,260 by individuals under the Lyman prof ect, who preferred paying cash rather than placing mortgages upon their lands.
 These ninety-one mortgages have been recorded in the office of the state treasurer and an initial payment of S45,350 has been made by the state treasurer. As this is about 30 per cent of the total sum involved, the Lyman Water Company and the set tiers will put up an equal percentage of their respective amounts, making available the sum of $52,02S.1O. Further remittances will be made monthly until the entire amount has been advanced.
 Although the mortgages for the en- tire amount have been given and re- corded, the interest will begin to &C., crue only on those loans on which the cash has been advanced. Re- publican.

Cattle in southern Arizona are suf- fering with a peculiar eye disease and number have already died. The dis ease resembles "pinkeye," though the symptoms are not the same. A white scum forms over the eye and if treat ment is not given immediately the ball bursts, leaving the unfortunate animal to wander around and die.

Beef Exports Break Record.

Exports of beef products from the United States aggregated 96,9S2 ,OO0 pounds during May, 1918, which is the highest figure ever reached in one month in the history of the country. More than 96 per cent of the total went to the four European allies. Their diminished livestock production large ly accounts for the increased demand and explains the need for beef con- servation in the United States.

To Keep Out the Flies.

Any odor pleasing to man is offen- sive to the fly and vice versa, and will drive them away.
 Take five cents worth of oil of lav- ender, mix it with the same quantity of water, put it in a common glass atomizer and spray it around the rooms where flies are. In the dining room spray it lsvishly even on the table linen. The odor is very disagree able to flies, but refreshing to most people.
 Geranium, mignonette and white clover are offensive to flies. They especially dislike the odor of honey suckle and hop blossoms.
 According to a French scientist, flies have intense hatred for the color blue. Rooms decorated in blue will help to keep out the flies
 To clear the house of flies, burn pyretheum powder. This 'stupefies the flies, but they must be swept up and burned.
