WILL HANG TOMORROW |F>F||vAL
 EFFORT |S DENIED

Unless Simplicio Torres is granted relief by Federal Judge Sawtelle today, he will be hanged at Florence tomorrow for the murder of Victor Melik at Flag
 staff last May. All other avenues were closed against him in the supreme court yesterday.
 Two distinct efforts at relief were made. One was an application by at torneys Earth and Tempele to take an appear from an order of the superior court of Coconino county resetting the date of execution. The court, in pass- ing upon that said:
 The record Of the foregoing action of the said superior court was filed with this court on April 2, 1920. On the third day of April, 1920, the attorney general filed a motion to dismiss on the grounds that no appeal lies from an order of the court fixing the date of execution after the date first fixed has expired as is shown in this case. The attorney general caused notice of this motion to dismiss to be served on the attorneys for the defendant. As yet no reply to the motion has been filed in the case. This is. immaterial for the reason that the statute expressly prohibits an appeal from such an order in such circumstances presented here The court of it's own motion orders the attempted appeal stricken from the files for the very evident reason that We have no Jurisdiction to review the order which is the subject of the at tempted appeal"
 The other string to the bow was that presented by Attorneys Abbey ana Johns, an application for a writ of habeas corpus, that Torres might be brought before jury to inquire into his alleged insanity. This application was supported by one James H. Hun- ter who alleged that Torres was in- sane but offered no reason for beliey- ing so.
 The attorneys were asked why this 1 action was not brought before Superior Judge Baughn of Pinal county. They i replied that the judge was i'll. A tele- l phone message in reply to one sent by | the office of the attorney general | brought the reply that the judge WAS in his usual health.
 In the course of the consideration of | the first application for writ 1t was that the application was made | only for purposes of delay. That aa- | said Chief Justice Cunning aam, 'is unnecessary.''
 Notice was served on the attorney | general yesterday that an application | nad been made to Judge SawxeIIe at Tucson. for writ. presumably on the ground that the rights of the con- iemned under the federal constitution Or today. Alex Baker of the office of | he attorney general left last night for Tucson.

ABOUT THE STATE

l These fowls Nive close to the San Marcos, some of whose guests have been objecting to the crows these ami mals make in the morning.
 And again it is intimated that the new rooster ordinance may have caused these deaths. The chickens may have scanned & copy of the Arizonan con taining the ordinances and after noting that their days might be numbered, drop over dead.
 Or perhaps they may have been poisoned by some villainous villain, in tent on ridding the town of roosters. Clarence Baldwin says their rooster was. perched oh the grape arbor when he fell over dead-just like that Arizonan.

DANGEROUS DAYS
 BIC ACHIEVEMENT
 IF YEAR IN FILMDOM

At 3 private preview last night in the Columbia theater, Reginald Bark CTS translation of Mary Roberts Rine- harts Dangerous Days" with Ana Forrest in the role of Destiny. was shown to a select audience composed mostly of Arizona producers, who had been invited to witness the first show ing of this Goldwyn production, filmed after million copies of the book had been sold.
 The story has it's background in the great war and the schemes of German agents in this country to cripple the efforts of Uncle Sam in making the world free for democracy.
 In the published novel the characters most prominent are Spencer, the head of the munitions work, and Audrey Valentine. the object of his affection. These are finely played in the film version by w. Lawson Butt and Bar bafa Carleton. but by remarka ble emotion and sympathetic force. the part of Anna I<lien, the little typist, as played by Miss Forrest, dominates the narrative to the end.

 Commissioner Clark declares the sen- timent is true to the letter. He claims that for stretch along the Black Canyon road he was compelled to travel at six miles an hour because of the deplorable road conditions.
 He also is of the opinion that the county should make some provision 10 keep the crossing at the Agua Fria in repair in order that motorists need not pay toll every time they attempt to cross the river.
 Tt would not take day to fix the crossing. yet every motorist who uses the road is compelled to hire man to haul him across. It is an outrage. said Clark

Herd of Horses Rounded Up

GLOBE-Some ninety head of horses and mares, ranging between Pinal creek and Apache mountains, have been rounded up by local stockmen at the request of the forest service. Most Of these horses are on the range without permit and many are not claimed by anyone. or at least the owners cannot be found.
 The horses are corraled at Harry Ginns ranch on Pinal creek. 10 miles loose horses running in the hills north of the Radium shipping pens may look over the corraled stock and if owner ship is established the animals may be reclaimed by paying trespass fees and giving assurance that they will not again be loose to trespass.--Arizona Record.

DAIRY TALKS
The Silo is the thing on the dairy farm provides cheap feed and good feed - a
| No. 1l3
feed.

A siio on every farm.
 The realization of this slogan would give marvellous incentive to darying by increasing the production and profit from the cows of the United States.
 A siIo on every farm would lead to a de- mand for more than one silo most farms
 Such an accomplishment would result in enough silos being built on every farm to pro- vide every animal, from the hen to the cow, with as much succulent food as it needs every day in the year, winter and summer.
 do not know how much that would in- crease the average yearly production of the cows being milked in the United States, but 1 do know that the basic fundamental prirlci- pie of feeding for large, economical produc- ton demands that cows shall have an abun- dance of palatable, succulent, nutritious, bulky food.
 know that cows must be properly fed every day in the year and not just periodically, and that no feed can be used more success fully and more cheaply than silage as the basis of all rations when luxuriant, green grass is not available.
 know that we have now entered the period of American agriculture, not to depart there from, when the one who profits most from livestock and dairy farming will be the who saves and utilizes most efficiently that which has heretofore been wasted.
 Some day there will be a silo every farm and then wise men will sit on cool, we'll screened porches, when summer nights are hot, and in comfortable, steam heated rooms on cold winter evenings, and relate to their children and grandchildren amazing stories of how there was time when men actually left 40 per cent of their corn crops out in the fields to go to waste.
 Speaking of silos, reminds us that one of our large dairymen is overstocked until his silage crop is harvested, and he wants some man with plenty of feed to take ten good cows, feed them arfd take all they earn. These cows can be secured and maybe kept until January l, 1921. This is great chance to take the earnings of herd without invest ing any money except the feed. Applications should be made to this department at once.
 Let this department assist you in getting into the dairy business.
 Our farm experts 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 as- sist any farmer dairyman free of charge.
