CROP PROGRESS IN ARIz.


 Alfalfa and wheat harvest in the southwest has progressed under the most favorable cir cumstances. In the north-cen- tra1 counties a considerably in- creased acreage has been planted to spring wheat and both it and oats are looking we'll. Potatoes in the north are also looking fairly we'll but owr ing to unsatisfactory market conditions last season the acre. age is somewhat less. Absence of rain in the Salt River Valley has favored the ripening of canta1oupes. Shipment in ex- press lots has already begun and carload lots are expected to go out on the 27th. Growers of citrus fruit report that the ."June drop" of fruit, usually occurring with the advent of hot weather. is less than usual, owing, it is thought, to more frequent cultivation of the soil and the planting of cover crops.

 The first step along the road to independence is to own ones home. The man who owns his own home is the respected, the trusted man in every commun- ity.
 One of the largest employers of labor in the country ordered a canvass of his factories to de: termine what percentage Of his employees owned ther own homes. At the same time he urged all employees in the es- tablishment to become home owners or home buyers.
 Sound logic promnted this action. The responsible man is the valuable employee. The home owner has a deeper sense of icvic pride. He is establish ed; he is responsible; he is in- terested in everything that tends toward the peace and se- curity and upbuilding of the community.
 The example set by one manufacturer will be followed by others. It will daily become more requisite to a mans secur- ing responsible employment that he owns his own home.
 There is little excue for a mans not owning his own home. The great liberty loans have instilled into the Ameri- can people lessons of thrift that will endure through the coming days of peace. Every man can and should own his own home.
 There is no appeal from the man who seeks a position thatis treated so lightly by private and public employer alike. as the appeal which comes from the man who has everything to, gain and nothing to lose s

be smashed in spite of the dark over
hanging clouds and weather that bod
ed none too good for a large turnout
of folk anxious of exercising their
right of franchise.
The voting began early and thru
out the day a continuous stream CT
men were pouring in and out of the
polls. BY the time the booths are
closed tonight It is admitted there viii
he an unparalleled vote and the crea-
tion of a new record.
From all sections OF the city comes
reports of energetic and enthusiastic
workers who have volunteered their
services in behalf of some one or
some set of candidates. The v0lun-
teers were especially conspicuous in
the electiOneering for George V. =.
Weeks. north Ottawa's MAJORITY can

bearing Mr., Weeks name. the work
ers were scattered into all parts of
the city and they plugged tooth and
tong for their candidate Automobiles
we're freely given to Mr. Weeks cam
paign and by noon the vote was piling
up with such strength under the
Weeks drive it was openly predicted
large majority 1t was even conced-
ed in Mr. Carr'S inner circle of well
wishers, that his opponent would pull
out of election a winner by snug
margin. Only the uncertain voters, ="
men and women not committed, are
looked upon 10 save Carr from de
feat. In the Weeks camp there was
great elation at the turn of the tide
in their favorite's behalf.
On the commissioner side all the
candidates are Unto the aifray for
everything there is in it. Toward ;
o'clock this afternoon reports of a
changing tide indicated there were
possibilities Of some upsets when the
final votes are counted.
From all sections came reports in
to police headquarters indicating that
the election was going off peacefully
and ndharmoniously-harmOniously i'm
so far as outward appearances could
be used as a criterion-and that there
has been no disorder of any kind
This was helped in one or two cases
by the presence at all precincts OF
blue garbed cOrpers who were dis
patched to the voting places to see
that the election laws were closely
complied with and that workers came
no nearer than 100 feet of the polls
This ruling was not rigidly enforced
but helped materially in cutting down
the confusion ordinarily existent in
and around the voting places.
