MODERN BEET TOPPER and
BEET FULLER DEMONSTRATED
Time and Labor Saved by This Equipment Soon
Pays for the First Cost
BEET TOPS VALUABLE AS ENSILAGE

Last Thursday, near the Blackfoot
made Of beet topper, beet puller
and a rake that puts the beet tops
into windrows.
The Dewey topper is sulky some
what like cultivator, but has a re-
volving disc twlenty-four inches
across that is carried along just
above the top of the ground and this
clipps off the tops of the beets. The
height at which it clips each beet is
governed by roller passing just
ahead of the Disc If the beet pro-
trudes high above the top of the
ground the roller glides over the beet
and raises the disc to correspond
with the height of that particular
beet. If the next beet is not so tall
. the roller drops down to it and the
disc follows. In this way nearly
every beet in the row is clipped off
at the proper place. The only ex-
ceptions are where very tall beet
is followed close by very low beet;
in that case the low beet is clipped,
but not as low as it should .be
Where the beets are all uniform
height or where they are far enough
apart to give the machine time
enough to adjust itself between the
high and low ones the topping is
properly done; more perfectly than
if it were done by hand for the ma
chine takes the measure before it
cuts, while the hand work varies ac-
cording to the accuracy of the stroke.
A test made in field near Shelley
on Wednesday resulted in the most
perfect work yet performed and in
that case, by actual count ninety
five out of every 100 beets were per-
fectly and properl topped.
The beet puller is made by the
John Deere company of Moline, ILL.,,
and their invention merely lifted the
beets and left them standing partly
imbedded in the soil where they
grew. but did not shake the dirt off.
John Dewey and son have built an
attachment for the Deere puller that
draws them out of the ground and
knocks the dirt off. 1t consists of
a spiral worm about six inches
across that lies horizontal to the row
of beets, and the curves in the worm
hit the beet number of times while
it is passing out of the way and the
several jolts knock most of the dirt
Off The beets are then picked up
and the hay rake puts the leaves in
windrows. 1t is a side delivery rake
known as the John Deere-Dain sys-
tenn. After the tops are in the wind
rows they can easily be placed in
pies so they can more readily be
loaded on the wagon to be taken to
the silo.
The beet topper and the beet
puller are each operated by one man
and two horses and they can pass
over the field at about the same
speed as a potato digger. The
amount Of tonnage on the field has
nothing to do with the. time it takes
to top and pull the beets. 1t is a
case of driving up and down the
rows and of picking up the beets
and loading them on the wagon in

loss. Within few minutes after the
offensive was launched the Turkish
troops were streaming eastward in
the direction of Tul Keran.
The British air supremacy was so
complete that not one German ma
chine was able to show itself.
British Smother Airmen of Foe
British aviators harassed the en-
envy by series of bombing raids,
while camps, troops and transports
were effectively machine-gunned by
airplanes.
The German aerodromes at the
same time were dominated by British
machines, which dropped bombs on
any enemy plane that attempted to
rise. The airmen also assisted the
infantry to advance by means of
smoke screens, and night-fiers
bombed the Turkish army head
quarters effectively.

it's defensive positions, General AL

British airplanes prevented enemy

Governor Gooding's Statement

Governor Gooding's Statement
Governor Gooding gave out the
following statement concerning
Mann's attacks and his attitude with
reference to the Non-partisan league:
''This is exactly the statement that
the regular l. w. WIS have always
made in the defense of Bill Haywood.
In their eyes Bill Haywood is not
criminal, but is hero and martyr.
Those statements brand Horace Mann
as a radical I. w. w. and his attack
upon the draft law serves to further
identify him with Bill Haywood and
those of his followers who have just
been sentenced to long terms in the

CADILLAC TYPE
 WILL CONTINUE

The announcement of the Cadillac Motor Car company for which Rabbit Brothers are agents, that it will con- tinue it's present type of chassis and body styles this year carries with 1t more than usual interest. This is so because a large section of both the public and the trade have come to look to the Cadillac for developments which exert a far-reaching influence in the industry.
 In the course of its announcement, the Cadillac company says:
 There has been no new Cadillac for four years, and not even in the lesser eXternals can we see warrant for change for long time to come.
 The facts are so obvious that we feel warranted in speaking more blunt ly than usual concerning the present status of the V-Type Cadillac. It stands today, the world over, in a position of almost undisputed leadership as a smooth, level-running piece of motor mechanism, without peer.
 Expressing it in more practical terms. we believe it to be universally far the most valuable piece of firmly AlAcu uiOtOi piOpClly lildl llOllcy Cdll buy.
 ''The principle of the V-Type Cadil- lac is firmly fixed and established. and we shall earnestly strive, as we have for four years, to progressively improve the performance.
 Except as We refine our own re- finements, and surpass our own stan- dards, the Cadillac of a year from to- day will be the Cadillac of today.
 While scarcely needed, we believe that Cadillac owners the world over will welcome this assurance of tnt permanence and standardization of the type"
 Four years ago the Cadillac company adopted the V-Type eight cylinder en- zine, the first to be built commercially on this side of the Atlantic. Through out this entire period, the cnaracterIs,. ics and principles of this construction have been faithfully retained. Broader experience and increased knowledg, have led to the refinements and ad vancements which have been notec from time to time.
 In adheriIig for another year to it! present type and present models. tn. Cadillac company is following a polio, of long standing. This is to adopt I principle Or a type only after the en slneers have satisfied themselves com pletely of its soundness, and there after to develop it steadily to the high est possible point.

MEXICAN CONSUL REQUESTS C|TY
 ID INVESTIGATE
Activity of Police in the
 Probe of Organization
 In this City Will Get Looked Into by Manager

Robert $. Fisher having filed peti- tion with the city commission. ap- peared before that body at its meeting yesterday morning in behalf of Fran cisco Peredes. consul at Phoenix of the Republic of Mexico, and I. Estrada and NJ. Rodriguez relative to certain al- legged irregularities of Juan Bloa, a member of the police force.
 The petition stated that it was the information of Attorney Fisher that Policeman Blea instituted of his own accord certain alleged proceedings against Estrada and Rodriguez. as of ficers of Mexican society in Phoenix and that with a show of official au- thority he compelled Estrada and Rod riguez to leave their employment and come 10 the police station for an al- loged investigation and that he also ordered Consul Pereda to do the same but the consul refused to do so. The petition stated further that Blea en- deavored to have an investigation made by the United States authori- ties on the suggestion that the Mexi- can society was engaged in some sort of sedition.
 Attorney Fisher stated in his peti- ton to the commission, that itfwas his belief that not only were the insinua- tions groundless but that Bloa used his position as an officer of the city in an unwarranted manner and asked the commission to investigate the con duct of Blea and deal with him in the proper manner.
 Policeman Blea was called to the floor by Mayor Corpstein and asked for an expression. Blea stated that he had been informed by persons living Tn the vicinity of the place of meeting of the Mexican society that certain members of the society had been jeer- ing at an old lady in the neighborhood who had purchased a Liberty bond and was wearing a Liberty bond but ton. He stated further that he had nc reasons 10 believe that some of the members of the society were perhaps guilty of sedition and took the matter up with George Brisbois( chief of po- lice of Phoenix. At the chiefs request he (Blea) requested that the president and treasurer of the society bring theil books to the chiefs office for inspec. tion. He stated the request was com. piled with but as there were few en- tries in the books, the officers of tho society were requested to bring in tn, books every month but did not do so.
 Blea told the commission how a cer tain proclamation had been found il .the possession of a member of the so ciety. The proclamation, he stated called upon all Mexican citizens an, natives to secure arms and ammuni ton that Mexicans might retake Ari zona, California and New Mexico Blea informed the commissioners tha with all the politeness of a Castilial he asked Consul Peredo 10 be at tn office of the chief of police to b present at the hearing of Estrada am

CONDITION IF
 COTTON HERE
 NEARLY RIGHT
Federal Field agent finds
 Arizona Cotton Crop Is 96 Per Cent Perfect and
 At Top for United States

Arizona has gone and done it, and this is not a boost story, either. Ari- zona tops the list of all the cotton states of the United States in cotton conditions, standing out 96 per cent of perfect, according to official fig ures presented yesterday by L. M Harrison. fieldOagent for the United States department of agriculture. This percentage was made a few days ago. and is. therefore, the very latest off cial information.
 The official figures show 92O00 acres planted to cotton in Arizona this year, as against 46,000 acres last year. The condition last year was S7 per cent as against 96 per cent this year. | Neighboring states show: California with 194,000 acres. has 93 per cent crop: Texas, with 100000 acres, has an S4 per cent crop; Oklahoma, with S,161 ,000 acres, has a 90 per cent crop. | Other states grade down as low as 75 per cent on crops. Arizona grades first in quality among the states mentioned, according to market prices at which the several lints are sold.
 Arizona produced last year 24,000
 bales of cotton. This years crop will
 be close to 50,000 bales. This acreage | this year is divided thus: Salt River
 valley, 10000 acres, all long staple;
 other districts, 5000 acres, long staple; I Yuma district, 17000 acres. short sta
 pie. Total state acreage 92,000. | Fourteen thousand bales of long
 staple were produced in the Salt River
 valley last year, and Yuma produced 5000 bales of short staple. Besides these staples, there was produced in
 Arizona (Yuma district), 200 bales of Durango cotton, which sold at 31 cents
 a pound. or a little better than the
 short staple cotton of Yuma and Call fornia. The short staple market for
 last years crop averaged 26 cents a pound, as against 67 cents a pound for the long staple as grown in the Salt
 River valley. Seed last year sold on an an average at $5S ton.
 Mir. Harrison furnished a comparison
 as follows: In 1914. cotton seed sold al
 $15 ton as against s5S a ton this year Long staple in 1914 sold at 15 cents a pound, as against 70 cents this year
 Long staple in 1915 sold at 22 cents and cotton seed that year at s15 a ton
 Long staple in 1916 sold at 43 cents a pound and cotton seed at S45 a ton.

Rodriguez and that the consul with all of the manners of a true Castilian informed him that he would. He stat ed that the consul instead of coming to the chiefs office as he promised he would called on Attorney Fisher.
 Attorney Fisher informed the com mission that Consul Peredo had been embarrassed by Blea and accused Blea of being a member of a Mexican so- ciety controlled by a man named Dc Lama and his gang who were trying to hold up any Mexican that they thought had anything. He stated that there was no sedition in the society and if there was the consul would inn mediately take steps to punish the of fender. He informed the commission that Consul Peredo has been of eX- ceptional value to the community in seeking 10 bring about peaceable and pleasant relations between the people of Mexico and this country and that he feels deeply the insult of Blea as- suming to act on behalf of the city of Phoenix in the attempted regulation of his goings and comings.
 Assistant City Attorney Nelson stated to the commission that Blea was one of the most intelligent officers on tne IOrCe ana was d very pdtrlOllc Clll- zen and that he was an American citi- zen and not a Mexican as Attorney Fisher called him. He informed the commission that Blea was four minute man" and had ben active in all of the government campaigns.
 Mayor Corpstein referred the in vestigation of the matter to the city manager and city attorney and if ir their opinion an apology is due Consu Peredo it will be given.

Riddles Come Long Distance
 To See Daddy

Three forlorn little lads arrived at the sheriffs office yesterday. They had come all the way from Chisholm, Mnn., to join their father, Peter Borick in Ray.
 They traveled by themselves, Peter, Frank and Stevie and they reached here with just $1.50 in the pocket of Peter, an undersized boy of 10 who is acting as caretaker of the two younger lads who are aged six and seven.
 "lf any one asks you where you are going say to Phoenix and then to father in Ray" was the written instruction they had from the father whom they do not remem- Der, but are to meet today.
 Yesterday morning the sherin's office was advised that the children were at the Santa Fe station and immediately took them in charge. Deputies Skidmore and De Winton cared for the little fellows until they could get in touch with w. s. Goldsworthy of the Santa Fe who iueHtliieu tne kiuoies "ioH' Ho eN- pected from the east. They were placed in the Detention home last night until MT. Goldsworthy ar ranges their trip to Ray today.
