0NE LONG LOST HOUR
 RETURNED TO PHOENIX EARLY THIS MOANING

Good morning, Mir and Mrs. Phoe- nician. Did you turn your clock back an hour this morning? Or last night? If not, you're just an hour behind the times.
 At o'clock this morning every clock and watch in the country stood still an hour, officially and figuratively speak ing. Every timepiece ran smoothly up until o'clock. Then 60 minutes passed-but it was still o'clock. In accordance with the act of congress, repeating the daylight saving law, over theveto of President Wilson, the time of the nation has changed back to sun time, and will remain so.
 While the time changed officially at ? o'clock this morning, it changed for many reasons at an earlier hour of the night, for most people preferred to set the clock back an hour before they went to bed. Others, of course, won't change until they get up, which is too | bad, for they would have gained an hours sleep by observing the change before arising. Some persons, of course | have forgotten to make the change at all
 At any rate, the nation regained last night the hour of time it lost last spring, when the clocks were set up ar hour. At that tirno everybody lost ar hours sleep; or, if they didn't observe the change, were an hour late the next day.
 Last night, by turning the clock ahead during the night, everybody gained an hour; or, if they didn't ob- serve the change O ftme. got up ar hour earlier than they needed to thi' morning 'Tenny rate, s o'clock thii morning is the same as 9 o'clock yes terday morning.
 All the churches in the city, and II the nation, will hold their services to- day, according to the new time. The. aters will also observe it. Tomorrow the banks, the stores. and all the busi ness houses will be using new" time which is really "old" time.
 But it's too confusing to say mucl about Just remember that the cloc was turned back one hour during tn night.
 The hour regained last night, by tn way. will not be lost again, for con gress has formally repealed the day light saving law, which provided tha the clocks be set an hour ahead eacl spring and an hour back each fall. $ now the good old sun time will no change any more, for it is back to stay

to run, but without an auxiliary steam plant it will be impossible within that period to furnish continuous service to the water users themselves.
 "One of the signers of the statement above referred to is receiving free and unlimited power for all wants of do- cordance with the contract with the Reclamation Service which the asso- citation is obliged to carry out.
 'The plan to build a steam power plant is not for such a plant to be run continuously, but only as standby during the four months in the year when water is not available to run the existing plants. The advantage of this would be that during the whole year continuous service could be guaran- teed and better price secured for power, two thirds of which would be furnished from the water power plants and only the other third, or less, ac- cording to the water conditions, from the steam plant. In this way the addi- tional revenue provided during the eight months of the year would more than counterbalance the expense of op- erating the steam plant.
 At the present time there is not sufficient water demanded to warrant the operation of the present plants sufficiently to supply the existing con sumers. It is not intended to use wa ter any longer in order to generate | power.
 "Till the contracts existing with tho Pacific Gas and Electric and the Con- solidated Canal Company expire, whicl is six or seven years, the association will not be able to furnish continuous power the year around to farmers ol other consumers without the installa' tion of a steam plant"

W. W. WILKINSON
 DENIES STATEMENTS
 ABOUT STEAM PLANT

Taking issue with the declarations of a printed statement which, ad- dressed to members of the Water Users association, has been circulated around the valley recently, finally be- ing published yesterday afternoon, President Wilkinson of the Water Users association yesterday made pub lie statement of what he says are the facts of the case.
 Both the statements of Mir Wiikin- son and the one with which he takes issue have to do with the steam power plant proposal which will be voted upon at the water users election next Tuesday. MT. Wilkinsons statement follows:
 Tn a printed statement addressed 10 members of the Salt River Valley Water Users association. some mis- representations are made and state- ments which are not in accordance with facts. The statement that from three to six thousand horsepower was generated by our water power plants on the canals all last winter without using any stored water is not true. Further than this, during last winter under the existing contract with the Pacific Gas and Electric company, il was necessary for the association to guarantee to that company the expense of running it's steam plant when the~s was not sufficient water to fulfil the contract for power A portion of this extra cost was assumed by the various principal consumers in the valley, but the association paid a part of it.
 Under the contract made by the Reclamation Service with power con 'sumers, and which the association is obligated to carry out by it's contract with the government. a certain amount of primary power is. guaranteed. These contracts have yet six to seven years

FAIL ID AGREE AND
 SO THE HEAD OFFICE
 MUST G|VE DECISION

John L. Irwin, register, and Scott White, receiver of the United States land office, failed to agree in the con- test suits in which mineral claimants brought action against .homesteaders, according to the opinion handed down and which will be forwarded at once to the commissioner of the general land office at Washington, D. c. The homesteads in question are located ill Cochise county and lie adjacent to mines in the Warren district.
 In one action the homesteader is Minnie Duffy, and the contestants is John W. Hogan, while the homestead entry of Lloyd $. Stewart was con- tested by H. B. Kendfick. and the same issue being involved, the suits were consolidated
 The contestants not only claimed that the homestead laws had not been compiled with, but that the land in- volved was more valuable for mining than for agricultural purposes, the land being covered by surface rock and lying adjacent to known and pay ing mines. The contestants claimed that they had locations embraced within the area of land occupied by the homesteaders.
 MT. Irwin held that the mineral claimants failed to prove their charges. He is of the opinion that while the land has prospective min eral value. sufficient showing was not made to justify the cancellation of the homesteads, in part or in whole, and recommended that the homestead entries remain intact.
 MT. White believes that the land IS more valuable for minerals than farm ing, and inasmuch as the contestants have made locations, that they should be allowed to proceed.
 The homesteaders were represented by John Mason Ross, and the mineral claimants by Fred Suttor.

MOTOR TOUR FROM
 IOWA ENDS IN JAIL
 FUR TWO IF PARTY

Ninety days in the Yavapai county jail was the sentence imposed by Judge Neterer on Daniel O'Brien and Samuel Thompson, who were found guilty by a jury in the federal court of violation of the Mann act.
 The defendants, who were members of an automobile cross-country trip, were brought into court at 9:30 o'clock yesterday morning when Judge Neterer followed the recommendation of the jury for leniency.
 The 1S-year- wife of O'Brien who brought Elsie Secor here from Waterloo, Iowa, made a plea for her young husband but her words to tho court could not be heard, as between sobs she urged the court for mercy for the man who deserted her for another woman.
 q ask for leniency for my wife's sake" said O'Brien when the court asked the defendant the customary question as to whether he had any thing to say.
 "The sentiment expressed by you. 1eniency for my wife's sake is what you should have thought of when you started on the trip. The wife is the one who suffers-the one to whom all human sympathy goes. If you lived to be as old as Methusela. you could not live to atone for the harm and injury you have done her" the court replied
 The court then inquired into O'Brien's past, his education, his business and his associates. At the conclusion of the examination he declared that he | believed the women had as much to do | with the trip as the men. | Judge Neterer then turned tC | Thompson and stated that he dtd not | believe his story or that of Lucille Jay relative to their proposed marriage. He then remanded the prisoners to the custody of the marshal and they vii shortly leave for Prescott to serve | time.

Now We Combat It

Dental science, after years of searching has now found way to combat film. Able authorities have proved it by convincing clinical and labora- tory tests. Thousands of dentists have proved it, and at least million people.

The Tooth Wrecker

That film is the great tooth wrecker Most tooth troubles are now traced to it.
 The film is what discolors not the teeth. It is the basis of tartar It holds food substance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay.
 Millions of germs breed in it. They with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea Also of many other troubles, local and internal.
 That is why wellbrushed teeth so often dis color and decay, why tartar forms and pyorrhea starts. You leave much of that film.
 Tooth troubles are constantly increasing, as statistics show despite the wide use of the tooth brush And the reason lies in that film.
Arizona republican., 1919-10-26

There is on your teeth a slirny film. You can feel it with your tongue. It clings to the teeth, gets between the teeth and stays.
 The tooth brush doesn't end it. The ordinary dentifrice does not dissolve it. So it clings and, night and day, it may do ceaseless damage.
