ATTEMPT TO BE MADE
 TO CUT HAY FREIGHT RATE

To use in an effort to get the rate on hay from Arizona to the East re- duced the rate department of the Ari- zona state corporation commission, under Commissioner F. A. Jones, has asked all the civic and business organ izations in the Salt River Valley for information on the total production of hay and the value of the land produc- ing it.
 The commission filed a document Tuesday with the Interstate Con- merce Commission asking an adjust ment on rates for hay from Inter- mountain points, so as to place Ari- zona on competitive basis with other producing centers. It is said by the commission that the rates from this state are much higher than from the other states.

JONES HAS BAD ACCIDENT

The Herald is little late this week because of an accident befalling the chief type sticker.
 D. E. Jones, of the shop force, went over to Taylor Monday to witness the trouncing the ball team there gave the local squad and returned in a farm wagon because the benzene bug gies were all chartered. Attempting to alight from the wagon the same as he would from tin Lizzie, his great toe caught in the lumber and hurled him to the ground with suffi- cient force to keep him confined to his room the rest of the week.
 The next time he intends making the return trip safely even if he is compelled to walk home on low gear with flat.--Snowfak Herald.

CROP PROGRESS IN ARIZONA

The showers of the past week were generally beneficial to agricultural in- terests. In Cochise county reports are very favorable except for short age of irrigation water near Bisbee. Beans are yielding we'll and the feed crops are growing splendidly. In Navajo county the showers interfered with harvesting and did some damage to hay. All yields are reported as very satisfactory. Cotton in the Salt River Valley made normal progress during the week. Weeds are still a problem in some fields.
 In the Yuma section a few boil weavil and aphis are reported in the cotton, but the damage has been in significant. No damage from insect pests is reported in other sections of the state.

DELIVERS FEDERAL
 PRISONER AT POST

At the request of the military au- thorities, Deputy U. s. Marshal Harry Carlson delivered Nick Fora to army officers at Fort Whipple. Fora is al legged to be deserter from the army, and was experienced in Jerome by Deputy Carlson about two months ago. The man was discovered through his circulation of anarchistic litera- ture and an energetic dissemination of this fiery doctrine. He expressed his pleasure Monday when placed in the military prison, stating it seemed good to be "back home"
 It is probable that the subject of housing accommodations, food and clothing will not bother Fora for some time since he is to face a general court martial in the near future.- Jerome News.

CONDITION OF LIVE STOCK
 AND RANGES IN ARIZONA

Favorable reports continue to come in from practically all sections. Pre- cipitation was general over the state during the week. Douglas and Pres colt with 1855 and LAO inches respec- lively, recording the heaviest falls.
 In the Orc Blanco section west of Nogales some shortage of water was reported early in the week which pos sibly was relieved by showers during the latter part of the week. Feed on the ranges is maturing we'll in the neighborhood of Pinedale. Concern is expressed in some sections over the great supply of grass which the stock can not keep eaten down. It is feared that this may become serious fire hazard later when it is dry.

MONEY FOR PARK AND
 AGAINST PRAIRIE DOGS

As a result of the efforts of the western members of Congress the amount carried in the agricultural ap- propriation bill for the destruction of prairie dogs and predatory animals was finally increased by $75,000. That act also appropriates the following amounts for the administration of the National Forests in Arizona: Apache, $8,079; Coconino, $21, ,673; Coronado, $11, ,050; Crook, $3,735; Dixie, $1,596; Sitgreaves, $8,341; Tusayan, $12,904; Kaibab, $2,708; Prescott, $6,255; and Tonto, $7,6S5.

LAPS NOT ALLOWED IN
 COCONINOFARM BUREAU

The Japs of this county are making a very determined effort to make the public believe that some of them are members of our Farm Bureau and that their produce will be handled by the bureau. Let me say right here, and speak for the entire Farm Bu- reau, that our farm bureau is strictly American for Americans only, and if we had our way there would be no Japs in Coconino county.
 Also, we consider it very un-Amer- ican and un-neighborly for any one to rent land to the Japs.
 Let me ask you citizens of Coconino county question or two:
 How would you like to drive out in the country and see our farms occu- pied by Japs, who would sooner live in the barn with the live stock and chickens than in a nice house? Go to the Jap farming district of California and see what a dirty looking place it is, and then tell me how would you. like to see our schools filled with Jap children mingling with your own children? And, how would you like to have Jap for son-in-law? And, MT. Merchant, how would you like to compete with Jap store?
 All these things are sure and cer- tain to come to this part of Arizona if steps are not taken at once to get rid of the Japs that are already here. Remember, the next move MT. Jap will make will be to bring in Ameri- can-bon Japanese who, of course, have the same rights as you and I, and land will be bought up here-and, of course, then the Jap will be here to stay.
 Now then, citizens of Coconino county, who will it be: Japs for Japan, or Americans for America?
 M. F. TERRELL,
 President Coconino Farm Bureau.

NOT ENOUGH KICK IN
 TONY JOHNS MULES

The district attorneys office is busy preparing an answer to the complaint filed by the Aubrey Investment Co. of Prescott against the state, based on a claim for $22,000 involving the now famous Tony Johns mule deal.
 The states defense will be that a breach of warranty was committed in that the mules are not up to the standard specified in the contract. The district attorneys office is still anx- ious to have the case transferred from the Yavapai court, where it was filed, to the Maricopa court.

: LATE GENERAL NEWS : $%%$*+%$+%*$+$*%t

Lieutenants Davis and Peterson, held by Mexican bandits for $15, 5,000 ransom, have been returned to Ameri- can soil. Captain Matlack, who was sent out to bring them back and pay the ransom, paid half the amount and escaped with Davis on horseback. General Dickman says that the bal- ance of the $15,0G0 ransom money the government agreed to pay, must be paid to the bandits. He evidently wants to deal "square" with the ban dits. Troops supported by an ade- quate line of communication, pack trains with wireless for keeping in touch with the aviators are scouting the entire district for the bandits. Lieutenants Davis and Peterson flew over the line and were compelled to land on account of engine trouble; in landing they were lost and picked up by the bandits.

 A gambler named Creme was shot and killed as he was closing up his "club rooms" at Phoenix late Mon- day night. A bag of money was found at the head of the stairway and blood spattered down the stairs, indi- eating he had been shot and fell down the stairway. There was no clew to the murderer. Opinions differ as to whether the killing was because of woman, or for loot and the murderer frightened away before he secured the money.

WING ON'S WINGS OFF

Two and three-quarters per cent beer could not ''hold a candle" to Wing On's lemon soda, and for while at least it seemed that Wing On was going to capture all of the soda trade in Yuma. However, the great im- petus given to the trade of the Wing On store on Eighth street attracted the attention of the county authorities and upon investigation they found that the principal ingredient of the said soda water was lemon extract, which was only 80 per cent alcohol. Consequently, MT. On is now facing a charge of selling intoxicating liquor.

KANSAS CITY WEEKLY
 STOCK MARKET REPORT

KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS, Aug. 18.-Thirty-three thousand cat tie and 5000 calves were on the Kansas City market today, the largest supply in any day this year, and 75 per cent larger than year ago. The good to choice killing cattle were very scarce at steady prices, but the plain CT kinds of steers, butcher cattle and stockers and feeders were plentiful and lower. Hogs were 25 cents lower compared with Saturday, and sheep and lambs were 25 to 50 cents higher, and in active demand.
 TOday's Receipts
 Todays' receipts were 33,000 cattle, 1000 hogs, 10000 sheep, compared with 16,OO0 cattle, 4,000 hogs and 7,5OO sheep week ago, and 17,700 cattle, 6,8OO hogs, and 4,500 sheep a year ago.
 Beef Cattle
 Though cattle receipts today were the largest of the season, fat steers were not as plentiful as a week ago, last weeks decline tending to check the movement of good to choice steers. Prices for that class were steady. Plain light weight grass steers which declined only moderately last week were in large supply today and sold slowly at unevenly lower prices. Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas contributed the bulk of the offerings. Some came from Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Colorado and Western Nebraska. As far as the live stock situation is con- cerned, railroad and labor conditions are normal. The bulk of the grass fat cattle sold today at $9.50 to $13.50. Those below $12.0O were lower, choice native steers sold up to $18.85. Cows and heifers were lower, selling mostly at $7.50 to $9.50.
 Suckers and Feeders
 A few choice feeders and stockers brought steady prices, but the large part of the run was available for country buyers and sold lower at $9.00 to SLIPS, common stock steers down to $500, stock cows and heifers were 25 cents lower and stock calves dull.
 Hogs
 The top price for hogs today was $21.00, and the bulk of the offerings sold at $19.75 to $20.75, or 25 cents under the close last week. This mar ket even at that decline remains high CT than elsewhere. Packers droves here are costing 50 cents to $1.25 more than at other markets. The price spread today broadened consid- erably, owing to increased receipts of rough grass fat grades. Pigs are down 50 to 75 cents, but in active de- mand at that decline.
 Sheep and Lambs
 Fat lambs and sheep were quoted 25 to 50 cents higher, top Western lambs $17.75, the highest this season. Feeding and breeding grades were strong to 25 cents higher. Fat lambs are quoted at $16.00 to $17.75, weth- CTS $10.50 to $12.75, yearlings $12.00 to $13.50, ewes $9.00 to $9.75, feeding lambs $14.00 to $15.50, feeding ewes $6.0O to $7.50, and breeding ewes at $12.50 to $16.00.
 tfr Horses and Mules Plain and common horses and mules predominated in liberal supply last week and they sold lower. Good to choice work grades and heavy heifers were scarce at firm prices. A special of South Dakota mares will be offered Friday. There is good demand for cotton feeders that have some size.

SOFT DRINK TAX

Due to confusion in the inl. tial operation and collection of the new soft drink tax which was effective May l, Jack Walker, collector of internal revenue, issued the following statement:
 "All soft drinks are taxible, drinks that are bottled and put up in containers ready for serving without further mix ing or compromising are tax paid by the manufacturer or bottler and there is no addi- tional tax due on such drinks when sold at a fountain; in other words, dealers are not required to collect direct from the consumer any tax on bot tied drinks when sold. It is, of course, expected that the bottlers tax should be. passed on to the consumer, but there is no direct payment b the con- sumer on bottled drinks.
 "The soft drink tax that is paid by the consumer is on all beverages which are com pounded or mixed, and on ice cream when sold at the soda fountain, ice cream parlor, or similar place of business for

TO SEE SHIPS

So that the people of the west may have close view of ships used in the war against the U-boat, the navy depart ment is assembling an anti submarine fotilla to make a trip up the Mississippi river and it's tributaries.
 These ships and implements of warfare used against Ger man U-boats are being sent to the middle west waters so that people of hat part of the coun- try may have a full opportun- ity to have a close inspection of the vessels, guns and the equipment which the navy has used in clearing the sea of the enemy submarines.
 The hotilla will consist of the U. s. s. Isabel, destroy CT type, the submarine Ks, three submarine chasers and two flying boats, all of which with their officers and crews have seen active service in the war zone.
 The expedition will be in command of Lieut.. Com. Thos. G. Berrien, U. s. N., who is now at the submarine base at Key West. The Isabel, which will be in command of Lient. T. N. inson, U. s. N.. has sailed from the navy yard at Phila- delphia to join the other ships at Key West. From the Flori- da port they will proceed to New Orleans. The start up the river will be made early in May and the trip will extend to St. Louis and also include tributaries of the Mississippi. The tnerary, now being laid out, includes the visit to all of the cities and towns on either banks of the river.
 Destroyer, submarine and chasers will carry war equip ment. The destroyer will have a "Y" gun and depth charges. The submarine will be prepar- ed to submerge. All of the ships will be illuminattd at night, both when at anchor

 The tax is based upon tbo whole amount of the nriro 0 paid by the purchaser and is at a rate of one cent on eacb 10 cent or fraction of the sala price. When the price paid at one time, though for several articles which are the subject of a single transaction of nur. chase and sale, the total price paid is the unit for computing the tax. Thus if the purchaser orders two sodas at the same time, each sold for 15 cents the tax is 3 cents and not 4 cent If, however, he buys one soda for 15 cents the tax is two cent and if he then immediately purchases another 15 cent drink the tax is two cents on the second sale and cannot be treated as a part of the first sale. Any means by which purchasers pool their orders for the purpose of defeating or escaping the tax shall be care. fully guarded against by the | vendor for it employment sub- jects the purchaser and the vendor, if he connives in it, to heavy penalties.
