Pea nuts will improve soil fertility if hog ged oil or If harvested and fed to live stock. and will make 2 profitable crop on soil too poor for profitable growing of other staple crops.

"Mickevr Has Returned

Mickey" Mack Sennett's master comedy drama starring Mabel Nor mand, returns to the Columbia theater today for a limited engagement of two days.
 This offering is one of the classics of the screen and during it's first en- gagement here, broke all house records at the Columbia theater. Persons who witnessed the spectacle, which is in seven big parts, proclaimed it the best thing of it's kind ever done before the camera
 The film has particular significance for Phoenix residents inasmuch as the sensational race horse scenes were filmed at the Arizona state fair grounds. Many Phoenicians will recall the visit of Miss Normand here a couple of years ago, at which time the track scenes were filmed.
 Mickey" is the story of wild noun tain lassie who. like Topsy. just grew" It is the blending of every human emo- tion. Yet the story, with its comedy. it's romance, its pathos and it's wonder full thrills, is of the simplest sort; and simplicity is always greatness, espe- cially if it has so many enjoyable things about it.

CONTRACTS
 FIR LAND UNDER SAN
 CARLOS PROJECT

That the contracts for the land un- der the projected San Carlos diversion dam had been approved by the secre- tary of the interior and that he had sent a representative to Arizona for the purpose of having them signed was the news received yesterday by Judge Otis E. Baughn of Florence.
 The fact that the hundreds of ranchers under the project had at last come to an agreement as to the meth cd of distributing the water was made known to the interior department last April following ten days conference held in Los Angeles.
 Prior to that time a tentative agreement had been drawn up and circulated among the ranchers at Casa Grande and Florence. Following the tentative agreement it was only a matter of time to formulate the per- manent contracts and forward them to Washington. AS soon as the ranch CTS sign the contracts it is thought plans will be made for the work necessary.
 Under the proposed diversion dam | the white settlers are to have 27,000 | acres for cultivation and the Indians 8, ,00O acres. The building of the di- version dam is a separate project from that of the San Carlos reservoir.

SOUTHWEST COTTON
 COMPANY ORGANIZES
 AERIAL MAIL LINE

The beginning of the first aerial mail service in Arizona was estab- lished yesterday when Lieutenant O. J. Johnson, accompanied by Robert Metzler, treasurer of the Southwest Cotton company, took the company mail, rose from the fairgrounds, and 20 minutes later had made the first landing at Goodyear with an airplane, and delivered the mail.
 After concluding his business with the company officials at the Goodyear plantation, Metzler brought out the mail the pilot pointed her nose toward Phoenix, and in another 20 minutes the mail dropped as accurately as a bomb in front of the door of the main office in Phoenix.
 In the east on the established aerial mail routes, devices are being worked out for the purpose of both picking up and delivering mail from an airplane, and it would not be surprising to see the first western application of these devices put into service right here in the Salt River valley.

PROSPERITY PUTS THE
 BRAKE ON RADiCALISM
(Ohio State Journal)


 A mans personal circumstances make all the difference in the world in his views of economic rights and wrongs. Give the most extreme and vociferant socialist on the town plat a job at s15,oe0 a year and he no longer will believe that, all the money on earth ought to be divided up equal ly. He will buy a sedan and be con- verted to the eternal principles of conservatism.
 No state in the union is more op- posed to bolshevism in all it's crack brained and hideous tents than Kan sas. Kansas stands like a rock, a living. speaking rock, for the recog- niZed and just rights of property. Kan sas is harvesting it's wheat crop ele- ven million acres, 225 million bushels of the golden grain, worth 450 million brained and hideous tenets than Kan sas has to pick with capitalism at present is that motor car companies are shamefully behind on their deliver ies. Otherwise the status aud is just about right.
 But if the government had fixed the price of wheat at fifty cents a bushel or if the hot winds and the grasshop- pers and the Hessian fly had married and ravaged and despoiled those gold en fields then Kansas, as we know by past experience, would be for bol- shevism in some rural guise so earn estly, so deafeningly, so determinedfy and so contagiously that all we sober mind, sound minded, sound money, lights of property citizens of Ohio and ether points in the effete east would be worried to death about the control oi the national convention. We wish Kansas and everybody else could be prosperous and happy an the time though perhaps the world makes more real progress when a grasshopper yea: is thrown in occasionally.

 WATER SYSTEM
Pamphlet Proves Verde
 Water Will Be Big Aid to
 City-Means a Saving, Too-New System to Give Pure, Plentiful Supply

In an effort to place the salient fea- lures of the proposed new water sys- tenn before the people of Phoenix. the city commission yesterday mailed a pamphlet of condensed information GOV ering the city water supply to each taxpayer in the city.
 Bonds to the amount of s1,300,000 will be voted on the 18th of this month. The pamphlet includes a map showing the proposed gravity pipe line from the Verde intake to the city and also a graphic drawing descriptive of the intake itself It also recites the fea- lures of the investigations concerning the water supply covering a period of 13 years. and the conclusions of several eminent engineers all of whom are in accord that there is but one adequate and desirable supply for Phoenix. The list of engineers includes not only men of local prominence, but consulting engineers of the largest cities in the country.
 Verde Water Second to None
 An analysis of the Verde water is contained in the pamphlet. showing that it is second in purity to the water supply of no other American city.
 It is estimated that if the new sys- tenn is installed, the present rate of fire insurance will be decreased ma terially The present water supply is far from adequate to protect the city from the menace of bad fires. Several times in recent years the mains have been drained by the powerful fire pumps.
 At the present time the pumping plant in use is hardly powerful enough to force water to the top floors of the highest buildings in Phoenix. The standpipe at the water works is con- tinually running over due to the fact that in order to get water to the sixth floor of Che Jefferson hotel it is neces -A sary to keep water within a few inches of the top of the reservoir. If Phoenix is to grow to 50,0o0, which is the esti- mate of the population within a few years at the city managers office, the present water supply is going to be far from adequate.
 ! Will Mean Big Saving l The pamphlet also includes an esti- mate of the saving to be made to both the municipality and the people of the city. It is estimated that at the pres ent time plumbing bills alone in Phoe- nix caused by the alkali water eating through pipes amounts to over s10,000 year. The decrease in the expenses of operating the city water department is also considered another large item. | In speaking of the costs of the pro- ject versus the benefits. the pamphlet has the following to say "In consid- ering the proposed improvement, tax payers should bear in mind that after the installation of the new system the increase in the annual tax rate will be only eight cents on s1o0. To the average home owner who is as- sessed s4,000. this will mean less than one cent per day.
