 TWO FLAGS
(From Sundays Daily)


 Ernest Love Post of the American Legion here is highly gratified at the splendid gift of Mrs. Allan Love. mother of the Prescott boy whose name the local organization adopted with its organization just over one year ago.
 Mrs, Love has provided the two standard flags for the post, the col ors and the post flag. Both are of wonderful make, the former. a rcgu- lation American flag with staff and fringe, and the latter marvellous banner of deep blue with the legion emblem and the name of the post in gold letters.
 The two flags were displayed in the show windows of the C. w. Law renee Company in the Bank of Ari- zona building, where they are attract ing wide comment and admiration. Mrs. Love, whose devotion to the post is most natural in view of it's honoring her deceased son, is to be deeply thanked for the contribution, which IS not only most thoughtful one. but was made at a considerable sacrifice

WATER CONTROL IN CHINA FOR
 BIG CROPS
(From Fridays Daily)


 What is perhaps one of the most in
 teresting of successful irrigation feat
 was made known yesterday by Fai
 Commissioner John Bianconi upol
 his return from trip through tn,
 Chino Valley. Commissioner Bian.
 conf was brim full of enthusiasm for
 the work which has been done in that
 valley by Thorne Brothers, who in 1O
 years of farming there have shown
 what the valley is capable of.
 The Thorne brothers have irrigated
 the tract of $ acres they have under
 cultivation by using flood waters, the
 canals being so arranged that the con trol works perfectly. Bianconi says
 the whole 75 acres receive the benefit of the rich deposit of silt every time the floods come Tt would take d highly educated engineer years to de- velop the plan that these common sense men have worked out for the ir- rigation of their land," Bianconi said yesterday No person in Navapai county who is interested ill land de- velopment should fail to visit this ranch"
 The Thorne ranch is reached by go- ing directly to the King headquarters, turning to the west and taking the road for about one mile. These men have specialized on the raising of piul beans, although they also grow corn and potatoes The rich silt deposit carried by the flood waters, fertilizing the land, has caused it 10 yield unusu- ally large crops. In the 10 years that the land has been worked, it has never yielded less than 1000 pounds of pink beans to the acre, and some years the f yield has been as high as 1900 pounds. l About $1,5OO worth of pink beans are i stored in the Thorne barns at the pres ent time
 Only three men are working on the Thorne place, the two brothers and a nephew. Hence the reason for the small acreage under cultivation. The scarcity of help has been a problem and these men have worked as large it an acreage as it. has been possible for them to do alone At the present | time they are harvesting their beans, cutting from five to eight acres a day. Bianconi says it will take from now until Christmas to complete the har- vest of beans and corn. (
 Commissioner Bianconf says that there are large tracts of fertile land h the valley, merely waiting the hand of the tillcr. "Commcncing at the i; mouth of Walnut Creek" he said, "go l ing down the Williamson valley and the Chino Wash to where | ions the Verde, there are several acres of richil bottom land, just as fertile as that I of the Thorne brothers, awaiting the time when some real energetic people will take possession of it and work it as the Thornc brothers are doing With a canal system in opera ton. and with the climatic conditions as they are, any crop grow in tenn pcrate zone can be successfully raised on this land The Thorne brothers are thorough ly familiar with the raising of beans, having followed that occupation in California before taking up their land | in Yayapai county. Bianconi received i exhibits of soft corn, and splendid display of pink beans and peach blow potatoes will be made from the

When the ambulance-chascr found the condition of affairs resulting from the Immigration of the lower cell room in the court house yes terday, he prepared the above com plaint, but McSwiggin would not sign and file it on the grounds that it might be taken as a political move, inasmuch as both he and Mr. Davis are running for reelection.
