Announcement that Secretary of
War Baker had landed In France gave
rise to all sorts OF speculation as to
the real purpose of his trip, At Wash
ington the official announcement was
made that the secretary's visit to
France Is for purely military purposes
and has no diplomatic significance. AT
the same time the view was expressed
IN some quarters that Mr. Bakers trip
might have some connection with the
views 0f American commanders that
the allies should undertake a deter
mined offensive on the west front this
year instead Of remaining on the de-
fensive and awaiting the expected of
fenslve uf the German forces. The tre-
mendous growth of the American ex-
peditlonary forces recently, with the
promise that American troops win be
ready to take part In general often-
slve this year, Ia expected 60 give the
views of the American high command
great weight with the allied command

that he expects 20 make thorough In
spection Of all the American forces
abroad and to hold important confer,
ences with American military com
manders. 1t Is known that he has been
eager for several months to talk over
with General Pershiug the many prob

BREED BETTER HORSES, SPE-
CIALISTS ADVISE.

According to reports received
by the United States Depart.
meut of agriculture, the situa-
ton in the horse breeding indus
try reveals the fact that there
are many nondescript and plug
horses glutting the markets.
This condition, it is believed,
affects the horse industry in
general. The real good animals
are still commanding satisfac-
tory prices, but the misfits are
being sold considerably less than
the cost of production. The
saving of additional feed bills is
said to be the motive which
prompts the prod ucer to dispose
of this class of horses, regard
less of price. One of the con-
clusions which the Department
of Agriculture draws from the
present situation is that indis
criminate breeding Of horses is
an Improbable enterprise. It
is essential, the department spe-
ciallStS add, that farmers use
wise discrimination in selecting
the proper type of stations with
which to mate their best mares
and thus materially aid in pro.
ducing only efficient horses
which are capable of giving the
service required of them and
which consume less valuable
feed for the amount Of work per
formed. Such horses have
ready market and always bring
good prices. It is imperative
that the breeder who proposes
to compete with the domestic
and foreign demands after the
war should begin now to stock
up his stables with desirable
better bred horses.

WHEAT BREAD NOW.

In compliance with an order
recently issued by the United
States food administration in
structions have been sent to all
county and deputy county food
administrators in Arizona to inn
mediately notify the grocery
and bakery trades that all regu.
lations regarding the use of SUBJ
stitutes with wheat -four are to
be discontinued. The grain cor
poration of the food administra-
ton is formulating plans for the
purchase of surplus stocks of
substitutes in the hands of the
dealers.
This means that Arizona for
the first time in nearly year,
has been placed on an all wheat
diet. During the time millions
of pounds have been saved for
war export. This was accomp.
lished through the hearty co.
operation of housewives, dealers
and farmers. The latter re-
sponded to an appeal for increas-
ed wheat prod duction with an
acreage of 20 percent over nor
NAL.
Arizona merchants displayed
whole hearted loyalty in the
matter of selling flour with an
equal quantity of substitutes
when the famous fifty fifty rule
was in effect, and with cne ac-
cord the housewives of the state
bent to the task of feeding their
families with food, the use of
which was extremely difficult
because of its being untried.
Through the further co opera
tion of Arizona mills, Arizona
was enabled to ship 100000
pounds of flour to Galveston,
from which port it was taken TO
France to feed the starving pop.
ulation of that war stricken
land. Other millions of pounds
of flour were diverted to the
same use through the action of
the grain division in creating an
embargo which prevented the
shipment of flour into the state.

That mining companies of the
state tend to reduce taxation is
evidenced by recent report Of
state board of equalization. This
report shows that four-f fifths of
the states money is derived
from mines. The lowering of
the tax rate to 80 cents on 500
was made possible by increased
valuation of mines, which valua-
tion is result of increased pro
duction. Without mines, and to
keep the state with many ad-
vantages which it now enjoys in
educational facilities, good roads
ETC., taxes would be five times
as much as at present, or about
50 per 500.

Mohawk Mines Shipping Ore.

James Barrett, the we'll known
pioneer of Tombstone, principal
owner of the Mohawk mines, To-
Gated in the Dragons, near the
famous Cochise Stronghold,
started work last week on the
mine with a small force and
work of taking out ore for ship
ment is we'll under way.
Several samples of the ore
brought in from the mine the
latter part OF the week, show
high values in gold and silver,
and there are thousands of tons
in sight, which will be shipped.
The company was recently in
corporated, following several
years litigation and Mr.. Barrett
and his associates intend to
prosecute development work US
quick as possible so that the
mine will be placed on the pro-
ducing basis Several ship
ments are to be made at once,
following which machinery is to
be erected and a larger force
put to work.-Prospector.

ARIZONA HIT BY OROUTH.

Harry Turner, general live

Arizona has been hard hit by

He has not seen but one favora-
BILE spot over the territory where
he has been, which is in the
Santa Cruz valley between Tue
son and NogaleS.
Around Wilcox the cattlemen
have been shipping out to other
points and to the market. The

Frank Turner Secures Sonora Mines

be is interested in a big gold
mining proposition, says the
Tempe Daily News. Conditions
in Mexicon are becoming settled
and the next few years are GO

lines of industry. A splendid
field for profitable investment
will be presented in the reopen
