GLAD T|D|NCS COME THE FAT MAY REDUCE

Here are glad tidings for the fat man-the overplump members of the sterner sex who are eager to take over any reduction process to place them out of the class of nobody loves.'
 The welcome news comes from the Y. M. c. A. and it is to the effect that many pounds may be dropped off by a reducing system which will shortly be introduced to meet the demands of persons of too great weight.
 F. E. Dingman is expected to arrive from Fort Bliss within the coming fortnight to put over the plan which will unquestionably have many follow CTS. Dingman has been physical di- rector in war work for the past two years and has an additional expert ence of 10 years in gymnasium work be- fore the war. He comes here as an instructor and his classes will not only be attended by the too-fat but also the too-thin, for even as pounds fall off from those who wish to lose weight, additional pounds accumulate for the members who are too thin when they join the gym.
 Tt works both ways" said B. F Youngker, assistant secretary of the local Y, in announcing the instructor 1 coming. "The gym. work brings men l to the normal which ever way they
 start out whether to gain or to lose.'

CARNIVAL BALL |S N0T ID BE FORMAL

An Erroneous impression has arisen concerning the Cotton Carnival ball to be given Friday night Through an error it was announced that the ball would be formal" Gentlemen who had visions of full dress when they read that may rest easy, as in this sense the ball will not be formal at all.
 One thousand tickets have been printed and are now being mailed out with invitations. The committee of the Woman's Club in charge is more than busy. The invitations are being sent with the idea of impressing on the minds of the invitees the import ance of the event and the fact that their attendance is particularly de- sired Tickets also will be placed on sale at Everybody's Drug Store, the Crescent Drug Store and at Carnival headquarters. They will also be ob- tainable to all who desire them at the door of the auditorium on the night of the dance

GREAT NUMBER IF D|VORCES IN CITY
 CAUSING CONCERN

Serious concern has been manifested by court officials at the county build ing because of the extremely l arge number of divorce cases which have been coming before them.
 The number of these cases, it is stated, is entirely disproportionate to the population of Maricopa county.
 An instance of reckless marriage and divorce was given yesterday by an of ficial as a case in point.
 Late last July a woman who had been married before was granted a divorce from her second husband, with permission to resume the name of her first husband.
 Less than SO days afterward, despite a state law which declares that no person divorced shall remarry within less than a year, this woman married a third time, using her maiden name
 Asked by the deputy clerk who is sued the license if she had ever been divorced, she said no, and as she gave her maiden name, instead of her legal name, the name of her first husband it was impossible for the clerk to de- tect the deception.
 Yesterday, by sheer accident, one ot the clerks who was acquainted with the woman's history ran into the docu- ments in the files, and her illegal ac- tion was brought to light.
 Severe measures will be taken, the authorities state, to suppress nasty re marriages by divorced persons, no alone because of the moral issue in. volved, but because of the cloud whicI is cast in consequence on titles tt property and the rights of children tt i inheritance.

TRAFFIC "COPS" .NOW KEEP WATCH .AT TWO CORNERS
Phoenix Takes on Metropol- itan Airs and Humble Pedestrian Now Has Chance for His Life at Crossings

Phoenix has a. traffic squad. Phoe- nix is now a regular" city.
 That impressive figure by whom vis- itors and small boys are awed, that stern faced parsonage who stands in the middle of a street intersection and lays down the law and right of way to the humble motorist. the traffic cop, has at last arrived in Phoenix. With his advent Phoenix no more is the overgrown village where motor cars may chase each other around the corner with no regard to life or limb. No more may the pedestrian be chased frantically away from the street crossing by the approaching automo- bile that shows no disposition to stop and wait it's turn.
 Phoenix is a regular" city now, by gum. It has traffic cops and every thing. The downtown motorist has been given a master.
 There were two traffic cops in Phoenix yesterday, to be exact, and they are here to stay. In fact, there will be more within a short time, until Phoenix has a traffic squad common surate with it's civic dignity and the size of it's street traffic.
 Take Their Turn Now Motorists who have that habit of riding down to an intersection and crossing it as if they owned the world were probably greatly surprised yes | terday to find the way barred on al | least two crossings py traffic cops | Barred" is correct, for the motoring public soon found that it had to wait and take it's turn to cross, instead o1 the old custom of darting through and across at the peril of pumping square ly into somebody else who had the same idea.
 To be sure, the two traffic cops or duty yesterday could only guard ovel two street intersections, and theI were not particularly impressive look ing. But the motorist soon learned t be properly impressed, and by the tim, the public is used to the idea of hay ing traffic cops, the cops themselves will be properly impressive, for the, are going to get brand new blue uni forms with brass buttons and every thing the first of November.
 Should Be Nine, Says Chief
 The two traffic policemen who mad their debut yesterday were statione at Center and Washington street am Center and Adams streets, the tw main intersections in the city. An they were busy too, all day, directin traffic in a safe and sane manner tha proved at once a great improvement over the old way of letting the motor ist take his own chances of gettin caught in the crossing jam an smashed up.
 Chief of Police Brisbois estimate that there really should be nine traffi policemen on duty, but he can't ge them. But the two already in servic will keep up the good work, and nor will be added as opportunity offer It is the departments intention { eventually have traffic officers sta tioned at the following corners: | Center and Washington; Center an Jefferson; Center and Adams; Fir! avenue and Washington; First avenu and Adams; First avenue and Mor roe; Center and Monroe; First stre, and Washington, and First street an Adams.

 Oil Leasing Bill
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22-Apparent misconception of the terms of the pending oil leasing bill, reflected in Mexico City dispatches, led Chair man Sinnot of the house public lands committee to issue a formal statement today declaring the bill had no rela- tion to privately owned claims.
 Tt has been thought in some quar- ters that the bill related to privately owned lands or lands heretofore sold or granted by the United States" the statement says. This is not the case. The bill has nc application whatever to the immense areas of private lands held by oil developers or to any such lands which have been heretofore granted or sold by the United States. The bill also carefully protects valid existing unprotected claims on the public lands. The limitation of not exceeding one lease within a geologic structure and not exceeding three leases in a single | state, which is carried in the bill, ap- | plies only to vacant undisposed of pub lie lands of the United States"

1.-THE DAIRY COW" with Apologies to Walt Mason)

The dairy cows thing of charm; she lifts mortgage the farm and makes the farmers life sweet and him down Easy Street. Where'er the dairy is queen, country and dairymen in joyful ranks packing bullion to the banks Why plug along, the sad old producing numegs, and hay and putting the bankrupts vail years should chance to method method of the dairy This ertter always her keep and piles riches while sleep and pays the taxes and the rents and in Macopa County gents, have the climate and the feed and all conditions dares need So let boost the dairy which beats the old breechIoadins Let's take daes milk, and cream-the safest money-akng scheme.
 BY SUCCESSFUL DAIRY WOMAN.
 The good dairyman at this season is making plans for winter feeding so as to have we'll balanced ration of butter fat producing prop critics. Later in the season, feed of all kinds will be higher, therefore it behooves the far seeing dairymen to buy NOW, if indeed he must buy.
 In the older cotton states, cotton seed meal, cake and huIls are largely fed to cattle, sheep, hogs and draft animals and are highly re- garded by feeders on account of their food value. Cotton seed meal and cake is high Tn protein and fat as compared to other foods, while the huIls are excellent "roughness."
 The Arizona Egyptian Cotton Go. advise us that for a time they will sell the hulls for $500 per ton at the gin. Dairymen should lay HI dS IHuCH dS tuCy hcCu AOI uAc ocdSOu at this price, which is below the usual quota ton. As much of the meal and cake as is need- ed should also be stored at this time, as this is the height of the season and the gins are, short of storage room, hence prices are lower.
 Farmers will do we'll to check their cotton yield carefully, comparing it with former yields on the same ground, SO as to use the methods of crop rotation that will insure a crop for next year. If there is any sign of weakening" of the soil the land should not again be planted to cotton, but should be planted to alfalfa or some other leguminous plant. It is not safe to plant cotton on the same ground for more than three seasons, ac- cording to soil experts. On any size farm, therefore, only portion of the acreage should be planted to cotton. As much of the crops as possible should be fed on the farm and the manure therefrom distributed over the ground so as to put back into the soil the qualities taken out.
 Our farm experts are practical men who KNOW BY DOING" just how best to care for stock and arrange crops, buildings and all other farm matters. They will be glad to assist any farmer or dairyman free of charge.
