FIT TEEN BAG CROP
SEEMS TO Be RECORD

From the best information at hand
Messrs. Dautel and Miller are due
credit for the best yield of rice in this
section on any sizeable acreage. From
2O5 acres they threshed 3,005 sacks of
Blue Rose rice, This amounts to Writ.
ually 10 sacks per acre. There were
probably some small fields that made
a better yield, but for whole crop
this sounds like top notch. This crop
was grown on the old Buck place pur-
chased the beginning of this season
by L. H, Dautel. Although Mr.. Dautel
may not make fortune from this his
first venture in the rice game he is
nevertheless due credit for successful
operation
The crop this season is not yield.
ing anything like it promised early in
the season and we believe the final
count will fall way short of the govern
ment estimate Of yield.

BUILDING INSPECTOR
 RESIGNS TO ENTER
 PRIVATE BUSINESS

In order to enter business for him. self as general contractor. J. D. Wealth erford, city building inspector, has ten- dered his resignation to City Manager Thompson. The resignation is to be- come effective when the city finds a suitable man to replace MT. Weather ford in the office of building inspector.
 Mir Weatherford was appointed to the office of building inspector last August, and the highest peak of build ing operations in the history of Phoe- nix was recorded the following month. During the month of September per mits were issued for the erection of buildings estimated at a total value of $42S,S0S- During his seven months in office Mr. Weafherford has issued permits for buildings approximately valued at nearly a million and a half dollars.
 Broad experience has given MT Weatherford a close insight into build ing conditions and requirements oI this city. In the year 1908 Mfr Wealth erford accepted a position as building inspector for the government, retain ing that office until late in the year 1910, when he accepted an offer from the Home Builders to become their superintendent of building He re- turned to government service two and half years later and for five years was general superintendent of design ing and erecting. Soon after America entered the war, MT. Weatherford en- listed in the engineers corps and was later transferred to the tank corps serving two years overseas. He re- turned to Phoenix in July. 1919, and a month later was appointed to the of flee from which he now resigns
 Mr. Weatherford has already estab- liShed himself in Phoenix as a highly qualified building inspector Before entering the army he built 40 homes in this city. At present he is uncer- tain just where his new offices will be located.
 Tt is with regret that received MT Weatherford's resignation" was the comment City Manager Thompson made yesterday. He has been in valuable to the city at a time when it's building operations are at it's high est He will be a hard man to re- place.

TAXES NO CHANGES, S0 SCREWS DOWN DESKS IN LEGISLATIVE HALLS

Homeric laughter resounded Tn the apito1 halls yesterday afternoon when Custodian H. M. Alexander was caught in the act of having the 54 legislature desks screwed down tight in antic1pa'- tion of the coming special session on February F, which is expected to last only two days. The custodian hesl- tated to accuse the democrats too much but he insisted that somebody got away with all the stationary ana paper baskets after the last session and that he believed it wise to screw down those desks.
 Two workmen were engaged all day long in affixing 12 screws into everyone of the 54 desks, two days pay being necessary to carry out the custodians ideas of Drecaution Investigation higher up developed the fact that the stationary and paper baskets actually did disappear at the last session and trifling republican minority had gutted the place.
 Custodian Alexander did not indulge in any of the laughing, he just stood by and watched those workmen and he gave particular attention while the men were putting the screws into the desks of the democrats. If Alexander has his way those desks are going to stay right in the capitol building, and he simply does not propose to take any changes on that two day session.
 Even though the republicans are in some thing Of a minority at the capitol building, especially when the legis- Iature is in session, it is said that they manage to have a fairly good time just the same.

ARMORY FUND IF S90.0O0 LOST +
 ROL[ NUT FILLED
Few More Recruits Are
 Needed to Make It Sure Gall Meeting for Today
 City Hall, 10 to 1 O'Clock

Is Phoenix to lose the $90,000 armory fund which will undoubtedly be awarded to the senior cavalry troop of the state? Is Phoenix to let this opportunity slip which means publicity and gain in more ways than one for her commonweath?
 These are the questions being asked those working hard for the organlza- tion of the cavalry troop of the na- tional guard whose ranks are now nearly filed, yet lacking lew to qualify the troop for muster roll.
 Tt is up to every loyal citizen of Phoenix to give this movement their support while it counts for the most, 7, says Captain Linton. There is hardly a young man in our city who cannot afford to become a member of this organization; it will benefit him phy- sically, mentally and socially and not work one hardship in his daily life. It offers a diversion such as few men have the opportunity of enjoying
 Seventy Men Necessary
 Seventy troopers are required for muster-roll A big majority of this number already have qualified and passed the physical examination. But we want to cinch the priority troop of the state and to be sure, we must have full enrolment within the next few days.
 .sNNe urge every man who is at all interested to be at the city hall today from 10 to 1 o'clock or get in touch with Lieut.. Coan or myself. Every man who desires to become d member of this organization must make 1t known now before enlistment closes.
 Adiutant General Ingalls, received word yesterday that Yuma had about decided to drop out of the race for a priority troop, but that Clarkda l., Jerome, Tucson and other towns were running neck and neck for the honor.

BULL DOG OWNER |S
 SUED FOR S15,00O

Henry Baswitz of 624 North Third street was named defendant in suit for S15,000 yesterday when Mrs. Anna Stuart, widow, alleged that bull dog owned by MT. Baswitz attacked her on three separate occasions, finally causing her to be confined to her bed for two weeks result of nervous shock and actual injuries sustained.
 Mrs. Stuart states that on the first occasion the dog jumped on her, buried it's claws in her clothing, growled and snapped viciously at her face and body.
 Eight days later, she says, the anil maj seized her skirts and clothing, tore them, and aggravated the nervousness engendered by the first attack, Mrs. stuart alleges. At this time, she states, she was recovering from an operation performed month before. The third attack, she states, the bull dog held on to>her until a passer-by pulled 1t away, Mrs. Stuart says. She adds that she was forced to remain in bed for two weeks.
