steal little articles such as cigarettes,
fruit, tobacco, personal trifles, etc
This seemed to continue, and finally
the company appealed to the law for
aid.
Last Saturday Chief Deputy E.
Thurman ordered Deputy York to en-
ter the premises of the Ray Produce
Co. and remain locked in, to await
developments. At about p. m. a
board screen on one OF the windows
was torn loose, and a hand was IN
serted. York's only chance in getting
the boy was to grab his hands, mana
Gle them, and go outside to get him.
Before he could get the chance, Chas.
Mason of the produce company and
"Pewee' Kiff, who had been waiting
outside, tackled the two desperadoes.
Mason had a battle royal-he suffered
a torn shirt and several bruises, when
he tangled with Alberto Lopez, aged
fourteen. Alberto was also pretty
well bunged up.
But the big sporting event Of the
evening was "Pewee's" near catch.
After detailing the bigger boy TO

Throughout the Florence-Casa Grandt

tiptoess of expectancy of a new era
OF progress and the cause of the agi
tation is the meeting held between a
committee of the leading men of the
valley and officials of the Indian de

at Los Angeles. 1t has been in ses

news filtering through by way of Los
Angeles papers seems to indicate that
the meeting is drawing to a harmon

far as to set the date for the begin.
ming of the work on the dam as next
August
Diversion of the waters of the Gila
river through the construction of a
dam above Florence has been hanging
fire for the last three years, the first
appropriation for such purpose being
made by congress at that time. Other
appropriations have been made since,
but the construction work has been
held up until a satisfactory agreement
could be entered into between the
white settlers of Pinal county and the
Indian department as regarding the
water rights. 1t has taken some time
to secure an adjustment of Difficult
ties and the time has now arrived
for the showdown.
Under instructions committee of
six, representing all the canals in the
valley, were called to Los Angeles
last week. The committee was en-
dowed with full powers to act for the
settlers.
According to reports received, sat
isfactory terms have been made and
the committee will bring the news of
the agreement when they return
home
The construction of this dam means
a raise in the prices of land and a
boon for the Florence-Casa Grande
valley.
Thousands of acres of land having
old water rights will become fields of
green, and Casa Grande, likewise
Florence, will be surrounded by pros
porous farms.

SUPT. CAKES VISITS
MEETING Of SCHOOL
SUPTS. IN TUCSON

A very interesting and profitable
meeting of the school superintend
ents of the state was held at Tucson
on Friday and Saturday. Some of the
more radical progressi~es among the
school people declare that the entire
school system must be entirely re-
constructed to meet the demands that
will be made upon it in the next de-
cade
DIR. Won KleinSmid of the University
of Arizona says, "The war has shot
our educational traditions all to
pieces" and closed his address to the
superintendent by saying, Our
schools must meet the demands and
ideals of Christian democracy"
Many of the school people at the
conference did not understand the
provisions of the Hughes law
by which the federal government is
helping schools that come up to GER
tain standards and all were anxious
to hear about the intents and pur-
pose of the new Arizona law by which
schools employing teachers of voca-
tional subjects may receive special
aid from the state to the extent of rs
per cent of the amount of salary paid
for such vocational teachers.
Nearly every one of the larger
schools of this state is doing special
work along the line of Americanizai
tion Many of our boys and girls, will
never get to high school and many
of these folks are the ones who need
most that training in home economics
and vocational training that the more
favored get in high school. Our course
of study does not fit large per cent
of the pupils of our public school
1t prepares for high school and col
lege while large per cent of our pu-
pills never get that far. But they are
the ones that our public schools must
prepare to be American citizens.
superintendent Cakes came home
quite enthused in the outlook and
hopes that our schools may take ad-
vantage of the opportunities offered
by the state to help make the schools
more efficient by enlarging the home
economics work and the manual train
ing for next year.

upon him. He grasped the boy who
was about seven years old, according
to reports and turned to see how
Charlie Mason was making out The
latter was successful, but just in that
moment the youthful catch of Pewee's
is reported to have tripped him, and
he was half way to Sonora before
Pewee had start This was tough
business for Pewee, for his reputa-
ton is at stake. To have lost his
first prisoner, under such circum-
stances, is certainly exasperating. All
of his friends are commiserating, and
it is hoped that Pewee may soon ef-
feet sensational capture, to retrieve
his apparently fallen reputation.
The Lopez boy, at the time of going
to press, is incarcerated in the So
nora lookup, where he is held pending
investigation At this writing he has
refused to disclose any further partic-
ulars and the name of his companion
is still shrouded in mystery. His
case will be taken up in juvenile
court.

RICHEST OF ALL
GOLD MINES MAY
BE AT CH|L|TO

What appears to be the greatest
gold strike ever made in Arizona is
reported near Chilito, north of Christ
mas, where Nelson O'Shaughnessy
and a group of New York capitalists
are developing property. 3. r.
Tufts is manager of the property.
The most wonderful specimens of
free gold ever seen in Tucson were
brought from the property, says the
Tucson Citizen. One is from a string
er three inches wide and will assay
$250,000 to the ton. Another speci-
men was free gold a half-inch wide
through the ore.
The vein is said to be "a inches
wide and we'll defined for a consid-
erable distance. 1t is full of free gold
The property is located on the San
Carlos Indian reservation The claims
are patented.
e. R. Tufts, manager of the prop
erty, was with q. H. Hartman in
Mexico and is a well-known mining
man in this part of the country.
If the mine measures up to the
first reports, it is the greatest free
gold proposition ever opened up.

named the Aztlon and Chemire.
They are located in a large min

promising prospects which will be
open TO entry when the San Carlos

be soon under the Ashurst bill. The
ore is on display at Tenney, Williams
& Co. H. c. Tufts, who went through
the Cripple Creek discoveries, says
that this is the greatest strike he has
ever seen.

JUDGES PATRIOTISM
REAPS RICH REWARD

When the call sounded over the
country for field glasses, binoculars
telescopes and other instruments q
like character, Judge French did not
ask for a second notice-he shipped
a pair Of binoculars to the secretary
of the navy Immediately The navy
needed eyes, and the Judge was only
too willing to come forth and do his
bit.
The binoculars were of a particu
larly fine grade, extremely powerful
and had been highly treasured by him
This to the contrary Notwithstanding
he did not hesitate an instant If our
country needed them, he would gladly
give them, and he did.
One may imagine the judges aston
ishment when he received the follow
ing letter on Wednesday:
Navy Department, u S. Naval Oh
servatory, Washington, D. c.
"Subject-Return of articles, in con
nection with the navy's call for bin

call.
"2. An engraved certificate evi
dencing the participation of this ar
pared and will be forwarded to you

of wear or damage will be compen
stated for by the fact that a grea; ser
vice has been performed and that
historic interest has been added tC

MAY WAIT 2YEARS
FOR Scent LOAF.

The inter-office debate within the
Food Administration on the advisable
ity Of the Government subsidizing
flour to effect a 5-cent loaf OF bread,
appears to be swinging against the
proposed subsidy.
Without subsidized flour. officials
say. a scent loaf will be impossible
until after world food conditions re-
turn to normal. and this, they add,
will require at, least two years.
4 majority of the food Officials
here are no wagainst the flour sub
sidy, which would cost the Govern
ment $500 100000, and would not. this
majority believes. force down prices
on other foods, as claimed by the -
cent loaf boomers.
According to tthe departments CAL
.culations, a general drop in food prices
will occur only when world surplus
food stocks are created.
The pre-war normal world wheat
surplus was about O,000, 900 bushels.
On this basis the world will be about
200 OOO, 900 bushels short when the
next American harvest comes in, it is
argued, despite Americas 191 crop of
approximately $4,000, 900 bushels.
Neither will an estimated 1919 crop
Of 1.OO0,OOO,0 900, or 1,10O,O0O,O 900 BUSH
els enable the building up of a world
wheat reserve. OF this America will
use, it is expected. about 650,O0O.OOO
bushels, leaving 450,OOO.0O0 bushels
for export. Department officials say
France, Italy, and the Balkan nations
will absorb this easily. They scout
the charge that the United States Gov
ernment stands to loose from $780,
900 900 to $1,000. 100000 because it
guaranteed the price of 1919 wheat 1T
$2.26 a bushel as a result of a predict

anteed price. A big price drop is inn
possible, it IS pointed out, with the

than the most expensive soap or any

Simply moisten your hair with
