The Flag of the mayAower.

The proposed celebration in Man
chester of the tercentenary OF the
sailing of the Mayflower may render
1t of interest to direct attention TO
curious anachronism. In the magnifi-
cent frcsco In the palace Of Westmin-
ster, in which the departure of the
Pilgrim Fathers is depicted, the May
flower is flying a Union Jack. The
Union Jack, as every one knows, did
not come into existence till the pass
ing of the first Act of Union in 1900
one hundred and eighty years after
the departure of the Pilgrim fathers.
One of the fOrmalltles connected with
the Irish Union was a new standard
combining the three orders of ST.
George, st. Andrew and st. Patrick,
which was hoisted in the capitals of
England. Scotland and Ireland.-Man-

SHIP 122 CARLOADS
Of LETTUCE FROM
GLENDALE DISTRICT

GLENDALE, March IA total of
122 carloads of lettuce were shipped
from Glendale this season, according
to records compiled by the Glendale
Commercial club. All the crop, with
the exception of a single carload due to
go out Monday, has been shipped, al
though some lettuce remains in the
fields but is fast being plowed under
preparatory TO putting the ground
into cantaloupes. In addition to the
freight shipments many crates were
sent out by express.
Production was heavy. but the re-
turns to the growers we're not as sat
isfactory this season last, because
o. the heavy acreage grown in Florida,
the Imperial Valley, Texas and other
lettuce producing sections. 1t was the
Florida crop coming into competition
or the eastern markets with the west
ern lettuce that depressed prices, as
the Florida growers were able to ship
tic New York by boat much cheaper
than the west can ship by rail.
The Imperial valley, which had some
10000 acres in lettuce. hundreds of
acres were plowed under without any
attempt being made to gather the crop
Florida likewise had about 10000 acres
in lettuce. Texas 5000 acres and othe.
sections also had big acreage.
In this district the lettuce ground

METER IS SOLUTION
FOR WASTE Of WATER

That very grave error has been
made in departing from the policy of
metering, as the only solution for the
conservation of water, is the ~pith of a
dissenting opinion handed down yester-
day by Chairman Amos A. Belts of the
Arizona corporation commission in the
matter of the application of the
Thatcher water company for permits
sion to increase it's water rates.
In the past few years the commission
has received numerous complaints
from the taxpayers of Thatcher and
vicinity as to the poor service rendered
by the Thatcher water company, and
that Investigations by the company
have shown that the chief cause OF the
complaints was an inadequate supply
of water. In an investigation concern
summer of 1917, says the commissioner,
the commission found that the lack of
water was worse than at Thatcher.
At both of these places it was found
that on flat rate there was a care
lessness and indifference ON the part
of many of the consumers, which re-
suited in a great waste of water, and
this condition is not peculiar to the
towns of Thatcher and Stafford but
holds true in every town and city
throughout the entire country. The
commissioner points out that there are
many places in Arizona where on ac-
count of the limited supply of water 1T
has been found absolutely essential to
install meters, and says that he does
not know of a single instance in which
substantial relief has not been afforded.

.SHOPL|FTER CAUGHT
IN ACT: FINED S25

This is about silk waist which told
its own story to a detective at Kor-
ricks' store and brought a sad ending
to a touching narrative by Alfredo Fer
'nandez in police court yesterday.
Fernandez told acting Judge Ire
william he went into the korriek store
to pay a bill and was attracted by a
pretty silk waist. He decided he
wanted it for his wife and was carry
ing it over to a clerk to pay for it when
he was placed under arrest
The representative from the store
testified that Fernandez was carrying
the waist all right, but he had the
greater part of it tucked away under
his coat. A dangling silk sleeve sent
the detective a message and he placed
Fernandez under arrest. Then Mrs.
Fernandez added a word. She said
that although the waist had been in
tended for her she would not lie to help
her husband steal. She corroborated
the testimony of the store detective.
Fernandez was given the alternative
of paying $25 for his momentary use of
the waist or becoming a guest of the
city for % days.

ADMITS OF two differences: First, that

ior the supreme effort to seize the gov

equipment and fear of risking a strug-
gle against the troops now in charge at
Berlin, who are believd to be far from
sympathetic toward the reds
During the Spartacan trouble in Jan
iary, 1919, eight hundred were killed
IN Berlin alone. In March, 1919, the
offlcial figures placed the number of
dead at 1900 and many of the partici-
pants of the fighting were unaccounted
for The property loss through the
wrecking of buildings and footing was
estimated then at 100,00O,000 marks.
Little damage to property thus far
