 PRISON LANDS

In an effort to secure water for ir- rigation of the lands of the Arizona state prison, the state yesterday in situted court proceedings, 122 defend ant land owners under the Lockwood decree having been made parties to .he suit
 The action was stated after an in vcsusation of conditions in Florence made by Louis B. Whitney and Alex ander Baker, assistants to Attorney General Wiley l.. Jones, who filed the suit
 Among the defendants are many prominent men, including Hon. o. J. Baughn, judge of the superior court of ilnal county; Henry Hall, sheriff of Final county; Dugald Stewart, presi- dent of the Pinal Bank and Trust vom- rany, and William Truman of Flor once. Among the Maricopa county people sued are J. NJ. Sanders, Charles Price c. w. Pattee, J. J. Fraser, J. R. Maxey, Dr. George M. Broadway and IL P. Smiley. Charles R. Sligh, heavy land owner under the Lockwood decree, is also a defendant MT. Sligh resides at Grand Rapids Mich. The complaint alleges that each of thc defendants have entered upon said
 
 water thcrefrom for the purpose of ir- rI-atng other lands than that of plain tiff. in violation of plaintiffs prior rights The plaintiff asks that upon final hearing it be adjudged to have the first and prior right to appro- priate water from the Gila river and prays for a temporary restraining or Ger prohibiting the defendants their attorneys, agents, servants and en- ployes from Interfering with the plain tiffs use of water from the Gila river sufficient to irrigate plaintiffs lands The amount of land that the state de- sircs to establish a water right to is 159.S6.
 In 1913 George Lobb brought suit against some 200 defendants to es- tablish water rights to certain land owned by LObb around Florence. Nearly all of the defendants answered and the suit was decided by what is known as the Lockwood decree, in August, 1916.
 The state of Arizona was not made a party to this suit and did not intervene. but proceeded to use the water out of the Gila river until June, 1918, when the water Overseer, appointed by Judge Lockwood. refused the prison lands water on the grounds that their lands were not adjudicated in the Lockwood decree.
 Louis B. Whitney, then a member of the commission of state institutions, advised Superintendent R. B. Sims of the state prison to proceed to cut the head gates and take water Whitney contended at that time and still con tends, that the state of Arizona not be- ing made a party to the suit, the Lock wood decree had no force and effect insofar as the state was concerned.

In 1913 it's exports of toys aggregated 25 million dollars. and this country bought almost third of them. But the war ruined the Teutonic toy trade. The children of really civilized countries have had their toys and the adornments of the Christmas tree the last five years, but Germany did not supply them.

 Judge Lockwood has always main- tained that anyone intervening in the original Lobb suit would have to waive all water rights up to and including the day of the last adjudication. The Lockwood decree has always been held open for the purpose of having other lands get their water rights adjudicat- ed, but in every case they were com pelled to waive all prior rights. The state refused to waive any rights and as result has filed this suit through the attorney general. The complaint is verified by Andrew Baumert, IT, chairman of the commission of state institutions.

It was they whom you have heard say the Super-Six was potentially the finest car built. Many own their third and fourth Hudson Some have had even more They bought new model Super-Sixes for they know how each successive year has seen an advancement over previous models. They can appreciate the greater value of this new car.

 America not only makes most of the toys given to our children, but sells playthings abroad, to the amount or more than two million dollars last year. The business had been imagined to be a German monopoly, but proved to be no more such than Teutonic sue cess in the war.

American Farms Will Yield

Value Based on Government Statistics

American farms will this year contribute $8938,922,OoO to the
worlds wealth from a yield of 5,~713,O00,OO0 bushels OF corn, wheat oa1s'
barley and rye. The value Of the corn is S4,,68$75,OOO wheat S|,o'',-
42OO 900, oats 1894, $4,000, barley $~254,1OOOOO and rye Sl44,%OoOoo'
These values are based on the government statistics presenting farm prices
Of July /.
According to the department Of agriculture there If a promise OF
2~,815,000,O00 bushels in corn in reports received up to July l, whle shNah
grains will approximate So. sos 100000 bushels when the harvest IS COM
peted. Compared with the figures supplied for the previous month inns
is a loss Of 123,OOO 600 bushels, of which 100000 bushels is wheat and
%43,OOo,0OO bushels oats.
The corn crop is attracting more attention than wheat, and SHOWS
unusual promise. The area is 12, 10000 acres, compared with 49,
$4,000 acres as given in July a year ago, and the revised acreage w.
$4,000 in December. The total crop is 232, 100000 bushels more than
harvested last year. If present condition is maintained to harvest the crop
would be around 3,250OOOOOO bushels, which would set a new record.
A crop Of 1913, $1,000 bushels rye, although cut down 4JOOO,OOo
bushels by blight, rust and drought, is a record one, and l4,OOO,0OO bushels

A wheat crop Of 1,161, OOOO 900 bushels is 7~5,OO0,OOO bushels short Of
the previous months returns, but is a record yield. The losses were due
to rust and other unfavorable conditions which have made the crop a great
disappointment from the early promise. The loss in winter wheat was
100000 bushels, and in spring 2, 100000 bushels. The winter wheat
yield will exceed all records, but the spring wheat is short, and is greatly
below expectations.

Fighting Heart of Jack
Dempsey is an Heirloom
From the Days of Feuds

Jack Dempsey. heavyweight cham
Manassa, Col, sprang from the purest
type of West Virginia mountaineer
stock. The champions grandfather,
Ance Dempsey, was a pioneer settler
of Logan county.
The report widely circulated, that
Dempsey was born near Williamson,
w. Va. is incorrect. 1t Is slightly over
n quarter Of u century since III. 1.
Dempsey and the mother Of the new
champion left their old home there.
Jack was born about a year after his
parents arrived in the West.
The old Dempsey homestead in the
mountains is located only a short dis
lance from the abode of Devil" Ance
Hatfield, who gained widespread no.
toriety during the Hatield-McCoy
feud.
Although there are still many close
relatives Of the Dempsey family re-
siding in that vicinity, the present
champion has never visited them.
Both Dempsey's father and grand
father were farmers and woodsmen
and are remembered by old residents
there as fearless m~ountaineers who
stood high in a community where
courage was demanded Of all.
At the present time there are two
uncles and several cousins Of the
champion residing in Mingo county.

ish answer in an address in NeWcas-

"Then America went in, and II 1T
had not been for America the war
would not have been won. My heart
swells with pride that l cannot ex-
press when / think of the men who
crossed the seas from America to fight
on those battlefields."
General Haig said:
Don't forget it was the British EN-
pire that won this war. We talked
a great deal about allies. 1t was
necessary and right that we should
do so to buck them up all we could
while the fighting was going on, but
don't forget it was the British empire
that won this war"
