Chinese Like Automobiles,

American automobiles are rapid
ly growing popular in China. Their
use is limited not by the desire of the
wealthy natives to possess them, but
by the total lack of roads outside of
few city districts. Many of the
wealthy Chinese own several motors.
and in Shanghai it is said to be diff
cult to maintain a taxicab business be
cause the natives charter all the cars.
The Chinese have also established sew
eral motor driven bus lines. Chinese
chauffeurs are said TO be the coolest
and steadfest drivers in the world, but
poor mechanics.

Fake Tree Doctors.

Prof. A. w. Morrill,, state en-
tomologist at the state university,
is out in a circular letter advis-
ing the people to beware of the
fake tree doctors, who are at
present flooding the country with
advertising of their brand of
spray for trees that is guaran-
teed to cure root rot, apple scab,
sun scald, twig blight, rheuma-
tism, corns, spavins, and every
other disease that affects an or
chard. The only sure result ac-
complished by these takers is to
separate their victims from their
money. 1t will be a better plan
for the people, and far more
safer and cheaper, for them to
consult the state entomologist
with their tree troubles, and get
scientific expert advice on their
care and cultivation, and espe-
cially is this true in Arizona
where conditions are so different
for successful orcharding than in
other states.

Test Well VIII Be Drilled.

G. III. Jordan. of Holbrook, was
in the city Tuesday on legal busi-
ness. He tells us nothing has
been done as yet looking to the
prospecting for oil in that section,
but that a company has been or
ganized who will start to work
some time this spring. The busi-
ness men of Holbrook are not in
clined to let {. lot of wild cat
promoters in on the ground to
organize companies and go out
defrauding the people with claims
of oil finds, or alleged develop
ment work. If oil is discovered
in the Holbrook country there
are enough men with means liv-
ing at the county seat to finance
the proposition and handle the
property, and they will finance
their prospect drilling without
hawking a few billion shares of
stock at five cents a share on the
promise that it will be worth S1OO
just as soon as an oil rig is set up.

Outlaws Captured.

Tom and John Powers and Tom
Sisson, the three outlaws who
murdered the sheriff of Graham
county and two of his deputies,
when they attempted to arrest
them as draft evaders, have been
captured by u. S. cavalry just
over the line in Mexico. Imme-
diately after their crime the
three men took to the mountains,
and for several weeks over 1000
men have been engaged in the
man hunt. 1t was evident they
were gradually working toward
the Mexico line in the hope of
reaching that country, where
they thought they would be safe
from capture, but the u. S.
troops were on guard at the line
waiting for them. Hunger chased
them into the open and led to
their capture. They are now
confined in the Graham county
Jail under guard to protect them
from lynching.

Next Red Cross Drive.

The war council of the Ameri-
can Red Cross announced today
that the campaign to raise a
second war relief fund of $780,
900, 600 has been postponed until
the week of May 20. 1t was the
original intention to begin rails
ing this money for Red Cross
work on May 6, but the fear that
it might detract even slightly,
from the Forthcoming Liberty
Loan campaign prompted the
war council to postpone the date
for two weeks.
The new date for the second
war fund campaign of the Red
Cross fixes a period of eleven
months after the first drive, the
week of June 18, 1917. The Red
Cross war council has been ap-
pointed by President Wilson five
weeks prior to the start of the
first ey-raising campaign,
and the first great task was to
provide means with which to
carry on relief work in the war
zones on a scale commensurate
with military operations.
More than 100000, 600 was
contributed in response to the
Red Cross first call for financial
aid with which to prosecute it's
vast activities, and the contribu-
tions, plus the interest that ac-
crued upon them, brought the
total receipt for the first drive to
$105, 099, 257. Of this amount
S17, ,006,1 was refunded to
chapters throughout the United
States for local work. Of the
balance SIT, 721, 918 has been ap-
propriated, leaving a balance
available for further appropria-
tions of $40, 371,217. France has
been the beneficiary of more
than $50, 900, 900 since the form
alton of the war council.
During the week preceding
Christmas the Red Cross con-
Quoted a gigantic membership
drive, which resulted in the en-
rollment of approximately 22,-
900, 900 new members. This was
followed between Lincoln's and
Washington's birthdays = by a
campaign for the enrolment of
members in the junior Red Cross.
This drive resulted in the enroll
ment of virtually all the school
children in America.
