COLLIS MAYFLOWER SAYS HE MAY BE
 HOME BY FOURTH

One of the few Flagstaff boys re- maining in France is Collis May flower, and possible the last letter that will be received from him before he started for home came to John Sheehan just the other day. May flower says, among other things:
 Received your very welcome letter yesterday morning. It came just in time, too, for I am not with the old 259th any more, so had it been a day later it would probably have been for warded to me in the States. Sounds like I am coming home, doesn't it We'll, am; expect to be home about July 10th, maybe before. In pinch, I might be home before the Fourth of July.
 "The company I was with won't be home for a month after 1 am, but I was reclassified and am at the camp at Le Mans to be assigned to a cas- ualty company and come home. Will be assigned to company next week and then in few days start for home. Two new army orders came out re- gently whereby certain men were to be reclassified if their army records were clean. One of them took me in, so I was sent here.
 Recently I had good thing with the company. Was driving a bat talion supply car for an officer who supplied two M. P. outfits with equip ment and clothing so saw lot of country around here and was in Le Mans nearly every day. We covered two zones of the A. E. F., and one of them took us quite often past the farm of Lillian Russell.
 "A fellow ought to know when you are going to give his letter to the paper as you did the last one for then he could mention everything he saw and lots he never saw, and put in lot of dope about the wild women, etc.-regulation stuff that every sol dier is supposed to write home.
 President Wilson's daughter sings here in the Y. M. c. A. tonight.
 Sincerely,
 "COLLIS."

MARSHAL NELL MAKES
 LAW BREAKERS COME w

Saturday afternoon and night City Marshal Neill had to administer les son in two doses to Victor Gomez and Enrique Lavin. Gomez is an old of. fender in the courts, both city and county, and Lavin was friend of his who carried his friendship little too far. Both the men were urged on by something or other they had had to drink-we can't imagine what in this dry town.
 In the afternoon Neill was called to come and run some of Gomez's cows out of front yard over by the old Catholic church. This he did; but when he started back he met Gomez who, uttering cussword that won't do to print, drew a knife and made a pass at the marshal, only cutting one of his pockets. Neill remonstrated by knocking him down and after few kind words left him and came on to town. Later he met Gomez and Lawn and taking them into the New York store, got MT. Nackard to explain to them about the cows and that they should not be allowed to run loose on the streets. But the good services of Mir. Nackard could not smooth the resentment the men felt. Gomez had several times previously made dire threats as to what he was going to do to Neill.
 The marshal realizing that the two men would have to be arrested before they would be satisfied, and not want ing to have any trouble for their sakes. got the help of Night Marshal Jim Byron. The two officers met Gomez and Lavin in front of the little stand formerly occupied by the Mer- chants Cafe, next to Finley's store.
 Neill went up to Gomez and told him he had been drinking too much, and to go on home. Lavin severed diplomatic relations at once by reach

ing into his shirt for gun, the han dle of which Neill saw. Instead of shooting him, as many officers would have done, Neill-to save the mans life-hit him over the head two or three times with loaded billy. Go- meg then added his efforts to those of Lavin and Neill, in using the billy on the head of his last assailant, broke the handle, and then had re- course to the old reliable weapons, his fists, still refraining from drawing his gun, which moment later fell from it's scabbard onto the sidewalk.
 Byron had gotten into the fray by this time and was taking care of MT. Lavin in a highly efiicient--not to say thorough-manner, hitting him on the head with the butt of his gun, which Lavin managed to get hold of. Some cowboy standing near jumped in and got the gun away.
 About this time man named Har- ras, who runs the little stand in front of which they were fighting, came out kicked Neill in the stomach, blow nearly hard enough to lay him out Harras later claimed he was trying to kick Neill's gun out of the way so neither one could get it and shoot, to the danger of bystanders.
 Gomez succeeded in getting Neill by the throat and was choking him pretty severely, when the marshal inserted his thumb in Gomez's eye, stepped on the pedal, and the fight was over.
 Gomez and Lavin were shortly after resting in the town jail
 Lavin received a fine of $50, or 50 days in jail, and had two additional charged to face. Gomez was fined $l25 for resisting an officer, and the same day received from Judge Jopes in the superior court sentence of $500 and 90 days on an old charge of selling intoxicating liquor.

RECENT TESTS SHOW
 PECULIAR CONDITIONS

UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, Mos COW, June 10.-"Men are more intelli- gent than wOmen."
 "Women have better language sense; they talk more than men,"
 "Older students of the same class are less intelligent than younger stu dents."
 Each class is more intelligent than the one below it."
 "Men are more intelligent than are women of the same age"
 "Women have better common sense than men,"
 These are the findings of Prof. H. B. Reed of the department of psy- chology after series of searching ex- aminations.
 The examination was given 225 men and 159 women. Careful records were made of the answers and the results were averaged. That men IS years old or older are more intelligent than women of the same age is shown by table Prof. Reed has drawn up of students who received a grade of medium intelligence, ranging from IF to 142 points.
 This table indicates that women IT years of age average ten points high CT than men of the same age, but that the men catch up with them the next year thereafter, and that men 22 years old average eight points higher in intelligence than the women. This means, according to Prof. Reed, that the men have more opportunity to get out into the world and that women are more closely confined to the home and domestic duties.
 An arrangement of the grades ac- cording to classes indicates that there is constant increase in intelligence each year. The tests were so arrang- ed as to indicate the students ability to adapt himself to environment, obey orders and the like and not to indicate the students knowledge. That the higher classes are more intelligent than those of lower rank is due to the fact that many weak students are eliminated each year.

INVENTION OF TAKING
 ONES EASE IN ONES INN'

America invented the hotel and is still inordinately proud of it. Flu rope through the centuries produced, it is true, refreshment for man and beast, and comfortable phrases about taking one's ease in one's inn. But it remained for our country to con- trive an establishment where, if we may venture upon an illogical but per haps understandable expression, one took not only one's ease but everyone else's; where privacy having been, as far as possible, eliminated, the hotel guest lived in pleasant, sociable, democratic welter of all the classes of the community.

KANSAS CITY WEEKLY
 STOCK MARKET REPORT

KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS, June 25.--Hog prices today were 50 to 75 cents higher, mostly 75 cents, the largest advance in any one day reported this season. The $21.00 quo- tation which disappeared last Tuesday was returned and packers and ship pers were in wild scramble to get the offerings. Cattle sold slowly at lower prices because of large receipts at all markets. Sheep were lower, also.
 Today's Receipts
 Livestock receipts today were 13,000 cattle, 10000 hogs, and 6,OOO !, sheep, an increase of 5000 cattle and decrease of $500 sheep, and 5000 0hogs, compared with week ago, and about the same number of cattle, 4500 fewer hogs, and 5000 fewer sheep than year ago. The decrease in hog receipts is attributed to the rush of farm work.
 Beef Cattle Dull
 Liberal receipts at all the principal markets added dullness and lower prices to fat cattle today. The mar ket now is the lowest of the season, and demand is unable to find any ex- banding outlet for beef product. In many cases steers were 25 cents lower today, and $1.00 under a week ago, and buying was extremely slow. A few choice heavy steers sold at $13.75 to $14.40 and the bulk of the offerings sold at $11.25 to $13.50. A few car loads from Colorado and Arizona were the only far Western cattle here. Cows were 10 to 15 cents lower. Good cows are quoted at $8.50 to S10.50, and prime grades up to $11.50. Heif- CTS are selling at $500 to $14.00, bulls $7.00 to $9.50, and veal calves 5000 to $15.25.
 St0ckers and Feeders
 Country demand for stockers and feeders today was limited and while some early sales were steady the bulk of. the offerings were down 25 to 35 cents and trade dull. Thin cattle have declined $1.00 to s1.50 in the past two weeks. Feeders are quoted at $10.O0 to $12.50, stockers S8.50 to $1l.50, and stock cows and heifers $7.00 to S9.50.
 Hog Prices Sensational
 The hog market today was the most sensational of the season. Prices were advanced 75 cents, compared with Fri day. The top price today was S21.05 and the general market was fully $1.OO higher than last Thursday. The shippers and packers were in a scram- ble to get the offerings and packers paid the top price. The bulk of hogs sold at S20.50 to $20.90. Pigs sold up to s20.25.
 Sheep and Lambs Lower Big declines in Chicago last week and further declines there today set sheep prices down at otehr markets. Here the decline was about 50 cents, and the market went into new low position for the year. Lambs are quoted at S15.00 to $16.75, ewes at $8.50 to S10.00, wethers 1925 to $11, and goats S6.O0 to SITS.
 Horses and Mules Firm Prices for farm mares, seasoned work animals, and big mules, remain firm; but green kinds, misfits, and Southern grades sell slowly. Range horses at last weeks auction met a slow demand.

Put on Oil Spray Now
LEROY Childs

Growers throughout the leaf roller
district should lose no time now get
ting on the oil application for the CON
troll of the leaf roller. Advantage Of
good weather must be taken in order
that good results be obtained One Of
the neglected and Of necessity most
important points in applying the oil is
the need of very thorough work that
good control of the insects results.
The first application is usully accom-
panied with an extra amount of engine
trouble, breakdown and the like to.
gether with breaking in new help. The
results of the work, as the writer has
often noticed, are very poor. Half the
limbs are left uncovered and every egg
left uncovered matches and the young
worms Immediately get busy in a fruit
bud cluster. Here they establish them
selves enjoying life out of harms way
as far as further spraying is concerned
feeding upon foliage and apples until
about the first of July, when they turn
into a moth
To get the oil on right and in sufii-
cent quantities one must waste some
spray. Don't be afraid to use little
more than is really necessary to cover
the tree. 1t is hard to cover the trees
with oil at best. but stick to it until it
is done right or very poor control will
result.
At the present time use the oil at
the rate of eight gallons to 100. If the
weather turns hot and the foliage be.
comes advanced to the extent that the
flower buds are we'll exposed it will be
well to cut the strength to 6-l00
From the present development Of the
eggs it appears that they will not be
Matching for about 10 days. In the
meantime get on the spray while the
weather is good.
Owing to the rapid development of
foliage during the past week it will be
necessary to spray Spitz and early va
rieties first in order to avoid spray in
jury.

Lucille Stevens Recovering

Lucille, the 7-year old daughter Of
Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Stevens, sustained
a badly burned face and hands as re-
suit of gniting celluloid eye shade
she was wearing. Playing in second
story room alone the little girl donned
the shade. and then finding matches
struck one. In blowing out the match
she ignited the shade. In her efforts
to put out the fire her left hand was
badly bistered.
The little girl is recovering nicely
and physicians do not believe perma-
nent scars will be left.
