Th,a SunfIower,

It has been found that every part of the .sunflower plant may be utilized for some economic purpose. The leaves form a cattle food and the stems contain a fiber which may be used sue
 cessfully in making paper. The pith of the sunflower stalk is the lightest substance known; its specific gravity is OOPS, while that of elder is o.19, and of cork e.24. The discovery of this ex- treme Iightness of the pith of the stalk has essentially increased the commercial value of the plant. This light cellular substance is now care fully removed from the stalks and ap- piled to many important uses. One of it's chief uses is the making of life saving appliances.

 ARIZONA CROWD

San Diego, Calif., May 12.-With greatly increased accommodations at the several beaches and in the city, San Diego's 1920 summer season is ex. pected to be more notable than any previous year. From May Day, when the opening celebration took place, un- til September, San Diego will be the host of thousands of persons from in land cities seeking rest or recreation at the excellent beaches here.
 San Diego, known as the Playground of the Southwest, yearly is becoming more popular as summer resort city. Long stretches of cool and inviting sand are within easy distance of the city. In respect to seaside resources, few cities are as favored as San Diego.
 Of the beach resorts, Coronado Tent City Del Mar, La Joiia, and Ocean Beach are the largest and most popular. Tent City, the Atlantic City of the West, is particularly favored, owing to it's splendid location between Bay and Ocean, and it's many enter taiO;ng features. The area of this unique resort has been extended, more tents and cottages erected, and addi- tional facilities provided for the enter tainment of it's happy and eare-free population. Saltwater bathing on the bay side, and surf bathing on the ocean beach; excellent fishing and boating, are features of the summer life at Tent City that are not excelled by any beach resort any where.

 Especially complete are the tacl- lities for the entertainment of clild- .dren. The youngsters have thelr playground, the big attraction of which is the swimming pool for thelr exclusive use.
 Feature events will be regularly through the summer, under the dl- rection of men and women who know how to entertain both young and old.

VILLA s BANO|TRY DAYS HAVE COME
 ID END

Juarez, Chihuahua, Mex, May To-
 Francisco Villas days of banditry and
 constant menace to all attempts to es-
 tablish stable government in Mexico
 and to the relations between this re-
 public and the United States are end
 ed, according to reports reaching here
 Leaders of the new revolution display
 ed visible relief at the announcement
 that Villa had laid down his arms and
 turned his men over to Gen. Ignacio
 Enriquez, revolutionary commander of the Chihuahua district Since the rev olution swept out of Sonora with in- creasing momentum it was reported that Villa would seek to remain neu, tral and settle down on a plantation, and still later that his preferred serv- ices to the revolution had been declin- ed. Agents of the new regime admit ted that if Villa decided to oppose it
 he would constitute the greatest men, ace to it.
 The announcement that Villa had laid down his arms and guided his fol lowers into the ranks of the revolu- tionists comes from J G. Escobar, com. mander of Juarez. Villa also notified the Mexican Central railway, Escobar odlu, IudI SudIQS Ol SOlul0TS no lOuS0I would be necessary on trains.
 Villa was one of President Carran. za's first supporters and later one of his most troublesome enemies He also was personally responsible for | American troops crossing the border his most serious offense against the United States probably being the ia nous raid on Columbus, N. M, on | March g, 1916, when IT persons were | killed and several buildings burned | It was on this occasion that the Thir. teenth cavalry gave chase to the ban dit leader and killed 100 of his follow | CTS. A few days later Gen. John J Pershing and 4,00O men in paraleIl col | umns marched 200 miles into the in 1 terior in pursuit of the Villa band When Sthe constitutionalists, on whose efforts Carranza ascended to | the presidency, were organized in
 January 1914, Villa with Alvaro Obre l gon and Pablo Gonzales, were aids to | the first chief. On October 1, of the
 same year however, Villa denounced | Carranza as a traitor and December
 3 entered the capitol. only to renounce
 his claims to the presidency and leave Mexico City on the following March | 24th.

 News of the favorable action by the committee was posted by the Gazette on it's bulletin board and soon spread over the city Numerous telephone calls were received, asking for coD frmation of the report.
 Senator Mark Smith is given credit for a splendid fight against the strong est opposition that could be mustered " herapublican state political organ i.lticn against the confirmation of the former governor of Arizona. The strongest legal lights of the republican party in the state and the most force ful array of republican leadership was combined and spent weeks at the na' ti0naI capital in conference with Sen ator Lodge and republican leaders cf the committee on foreign relacicns while Senator Smith was absent in the southwest with the Fall commit tee investigating Mexican affairs.
 Upon his return to Washington, Sen tor Smith took up the fight in the committee and in brief time had off set all that had been done by partisan political opponents during his absence in securing one half of the republican; membership fey support of Gov. Hun;.
