USE MOST PRODUCTIVE LAND
Every Acre Planted Should Be Put
Into Condition to Yield Well
Pricea Are High.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.l
The food and feed program for this
year is much the same as in 1913
Then it was pointed out that on &C.
count of the scarcity and high price
of labor, the high prices Of everything
that went into the making Of q crop,
and the necessity for a full harvest,
the farmers efforts should be concen-
trated on his most productive land.
That policy brought the biggest re-
turns under war conditions, The same
plan should be pursued this year.
Prices for everything that go into max
ing the crop are still on a war basis,
consequently every acre planted should
be put into condition to yield well, 1t
is no time to endeavor to improve the
poorest fields. That should be deferred
until the prices of labor and fertilizer
again become normal. It viii then be
most practicable If done as a supple
ment to farming better land. This year
every stroke Of work should be made
to count on the best land of each farm,
so that good yields may Offset the
high expense Of putting in the crops
this spring. - 'a@-~s""~ ~

Admitted Pencil.

A clever little invention for report
ers or any one who wishes to take
notes at a lecture or jot things down
where the light is poor is a pencil
with an electrical torch attachment
A tiny fiashlight battery is attached to
1t by a length of thin wire and the
battery thus remains in the pocket
when the pencil is in use. The bulb
is just back of the lead and the switch
Is operated by the movement of the
forefinger while writing in an entirely
natural manner. Also the attachment
may be moved along the pencil to
allow for sharpening, or it can be
changed from one pencil to another,
and the tiny lights in the reflector
throw a strong enough glow for what
ever is written to be seen distinctly.

Caius julius Caesar knewAthe value
OF publicity. AS far back as when he
was consul go b. C.) he ordered the
publication of senate acts and discus
sions. These "Acta Senatus" were
published on whitened wooden board
called album" the neuter of "albus,"
which means white. In imperial days,
at least as early as 20 A. d., there was
an official publisher, "Curator Actor

we get in our Congressional Record,

Hot Blast of Volcanoes.

Writing in the Monthly Weather
Review, George N Cole sets forth
detailed arguments to prove that the
hot blast which swept over the city
of st. Pierre during the eruption of
Mont Pelee, as we'll as similar blasts
in connection with the eruption of We
suvius that destroyed Pompeii and
Herculaneum, the eruption of Taal,
Sakurajima, ETC., derived its heat from
the sudden compression of the air sur
rounding the volcano, and not from
conditions in the volcano itself. In
other words, it was not, according to
this hypothesis, an outpouring of hot
crater gases that caused the destruc-
ton, but the dynamic heating of the
air attending the propagation of the
explosion wave. Mr. Cole cites num-
Der Of interesting observations at st.
Pierre after the Martinique disaster
that seems to support this idea.-

PAY FOR VICTORY,
PASSM0RE URGES

E. Pusey Passmore, governor
of the Third Federal Reserve
Bank, made the following appeal
to the people of the district:
"This Fifth Liberty Loan is
officially designated the Victory
Liberty Loan and is in a financial
sense triumphant celebration of
the consummation of our hopes
and prayers for the winning OF
the war and the preservation OF
our liberties. The ideals for
which this nation fought have
been indicated on the field of
battle and the money price OF
that victory, the greatest and
most momentous victory of all
history, must be paid promptly,
cheerfully and in full share.
1.-THE portion of this great loan
allotted to this district is $780,
100000, and yet no one complains
that it is too large, for what we
have done before, we can do
again; but it is a herculean task
and will take the best effort of
the entire community.
"Out of our abundance the loan
must and will be subscribed here,
as it will be throughout the coun-
try, but the maximum of endea-
vor must be maintained TO achieve
the success at which we aim.
at is said Love of Country
Leads Then the supreme duty
of the hour is clear and from now
on to the close of the campaign
on May 10 let it not be said of
one of us that we were not equal
to.it. We have proudly met the call
to duty in the past and we believe
our grateful citizens, putting pa
triotism and citizenship above all
else, will again write their record
big and clear in the name of those
who fought for us and in thanks
giving for the Victory they helped
to win."

YAQUIS IN RAMPAGE
 7 REPORTED KILLED

DOUGLAS, Ariz., May 16.-Yaqui Indians, numbering approximately 100, attacked San Pedro de Sauqui So nora Village, fifteen leagues south of Moctezuma, capital of the Moctezuma district.
 The inhabitants, after a battle of several hours. drove the raiders off with a loss Of seven killed. Three of the townsmen were captured and sev- eral wounded, according to word reach ing Augua Prieta today. Messengers sent to Moctezuma by the townsmen
 early in the fight, succeeded in running
 the gauntlet of the Indian lines and
 reached there with a plea for aid. A
 force of volunteers under command of a
 detachment of rural police. made the l trip in record time. but arrived after the fight had ended.
 The Yaquis have sent word to the | inhabitants of Nuri Q village of 9 few 1 hundred inhabitants, in the Alamos district, that as soon as the wheat crop i is harvested, or about the latter part of | May, they intend to attack the town | and carry off the grain. AS result ot l this message, the people have begun | fortifying the towns and it is with diff i ficulty that outsiders can gain admit | tance to it.
 Small bands of Yaquis are ranging 1 through the Alamos and Sahuaripa 1 districts, rendering travel extremely | insecure, except in large parties.

The Day for Maricopa County

It is to be determined today whether this county will move forward If the bonds for the good roads system are voted, that will be the verdict.
 We believe the people have already made up such verdict and will announce 1t today in an overwhelm ing 'sYES'' on the bond proposition
 But to make of such a verdict there must be hard work until the polls close and various organiza tions are prepared to work hard
 There is work for the women to do and they have done most effective work in the last two years in work campaign They urged to come out today and help put the bond issue over.
 White we have little doubt that the bonds will be voted it is very important that they receive rousng majority The heavier the vote the mote attractive they will be to bond buyers; the more attractive the better the premiums will receive for the bonds So, it will be profitable for us to cast heavy vote today
 Then, too, want to widen the field of employ ment The success of the bond issue will mean work for many hundred men, many of whom would other wise be without employment.
 The polls will open at o'clock this morning and will close at o'clock this evening.
 On page II of The Republican this morning, you will find in which district you must vote and the vot ing place of the district
 Cast your vote today for progressive county.
 It will be money in the pocket of every man and woman in the county

G0N]RA ELECTION IS
 VOID -HUERTA BEATEN

DOUGLAS. Arizona, May 16.-The election held in Sonora April 27, to choose a governor for the state, was void, under the provisions of the con- stitution of Mexico, according to semi official announcement reaching Agua Prieta today from Hermosillo, the state capital. Adolifo de la Huerta, the leading candidate, lacked fifteen hundred votes Of having the necessary majority over his three opponents. As the constitution clearly specifics, that the members of the chambers of depu- ties, state and national governors and presidents, must receive a majority of all votes cast at the election, it has been decided that no one was elected in the recent balloting.
 De la Huertas vote was 1S,52S; Gen eral Ygnacio Pesquiera received 10.07S; Conrado Gaxiola 6,7S5; General Miguel Samaniego 3,152. The total of de Ia Huerta's three opponents was 2O,O1S and de la Huerta lacked approximately 1 300 votes of surpassing them.
 Under the constitution, the present governor, General P. Elias Gales, will hold office uniu the state congress can call another election. This probably will be done in the near future.
