FINED, SENT ID JAIL,
 FUR MAKING LIQUOR

While the court records do not show that J. Yamamoto was engaged in the manufacture of salxi when representa- tives of the law surprised him at his forbidden labors some time ago, it was proved yesterday before Judge William H. Sawtelle in the United States district court that he was mal1- ing something alcoholic in content and effects, wherefore he was fined $100, assessed the legal penalty of $500 and then given three months in the county jail to mediate upon the advisabil:ty of taking through passage upon the water wagon. The case against C Kusubaski, also charged with violat- ing the prohibition laws. was dis missed.

brings up from a very large area the plant foods not available to grain roots. and for this reason it is called a feeder crop, as it feeds the grain roots with many times more food than they would get if no vetch were there to bring LID food.
 There would be less advantage in this companion crop if the usually heavy seeding were used, for so and 100 pounds of barley or wheat is too much for even this extra food supply to handle When sowing vetch with grain it is better not to use over 40 pounds of grain with 25 pounds of vetch inoeulated.
 The matted root system left in the sub-soil by the vetch, will cause a heavy humus deposit which will al- low of a large extra water holding capacity. This will cause an extra large sorghum crop if sown after vetch. and will leave the soil in fine shape for the planting of alfalfa next fall. Very light blowing or extra thorough discing of the grain and vetch stubble will be best. for the vetch has already done better blowing than man can do, and it is a shame tc turn all this rich soil up to the sun tc burn out.

MORNING AFTER |S
 EXPENSIVE ID TWO

The morning after" brought more than a headache to Ella Collins and Alec Arvizo, who imbibed freely of a 'home brew" and dispensed it with equal alacrity. To Ella Collins it brought a fine and 3O-day jail sen tence. Arvizo fared better in the court of justice, his sentence being $50 fine or 50 days in the city'jail In ad- dition, he drew a $25 fine with an al- ternative 25-day jail sentence for hav- ing marihuana in his possession.
 Court action followed a wild scene at the Collins brewing station" in which two shots were fired and heated words exchanged. R. B. Johnson was the complaining witness. He told officers that when he went to purchase a quan- tity of liquor from Ella Collins, Aryizo interfered. A row followed between the pair and the Collins woman finally handed Arvizo a revolver. Two shots were fired by the latter, both missing their mark.

 SPENT IN EXPENSES

That the treasury of the HOpi Oil company is depleted was the testimony offered at the final day of the fnves- tigation into the affairs of the com pany by the corporation commission. The $50, 900 raised through the sale of stock has been expended, and if the company operating in the Holbrook field is to continue it must raise ad- ditionaI funds. witnesses testified.
 The report of the company's finances was presented by H. NJ. Berry, auditor of the corporation commission, and Thomas McCauley, secretary of the company. At the conclusion of their testimony the commission allowed Ju- Han Harbin, the chief complainant seven days in which to file g. report showing expenditures, after which the commission will make an order in the case.
 Charges of mismanagement were based largely on the alleged careless ness in the expenditure of funds. Me CauIey, as shown by the testimony expended S923 as travelling expenses, while there was an amount of some thing more than s45O personal expense, of which no record was kept, 1t was alleged.
 s. G. Mayfie1d, president of the company, who was represented as one of it's most active workers, spent $3000 of which it was stated there was no record of $500, McCauley declaring that Mayfield would draw in amounts of from $20 to $50, explaining he was going to the well.
 McCauley testified that the company had several deals in prospect, and If certain deal were consummated, drilling would be resumed on the Hopi holdings without any expense to the ! company Otherwise, he said. the l company would have to continue its l fight for funds. According to the witness. the machinery on hand is too l light to sink a we'll to the depth re- 1 ouired in the Holbrook field.

DISABLED MEN ID GET CHECKS EARLY

In response to the request of na- tional officers of the American legion, a special effort is being made by the bureau of war risk insurance to see that every ex-service man entitled to compensation during December gets his check before the 18th Of the month, in order that he may have it for Christ mas. The war risk bureau officials have announced that they have suc- ceeded in so perfecting their machin- cry of operation that the long delays heretofore attending the sending out Of checks to the 210,000 disabled ex- service men drawing compensation will in the future be done away with. ! A telegram from national headquar- ters of the American legion states that Vice Commander WinsletE Is on his way to Arizona to look after the hos pitalization of ex- service men. He will first stop in Tucson, where he will make arrangements for the receiving of disabled soldiers who are being sent
 to Arizona so fast that under present circumstances they are not receiving | the proper care. It is expected that | he will visit Phoenix after satisfactory
 arrangements are made in Tucson.
 While he is in Phoenix the Frank Luke

CITY WILLING ID
 ARB|TRATE DISPUTE
 WITH TRACTION CO.

City officials of Phoenix are willing 70 20 half way in the adjustment of the dispute with the Phoenix street rail- way company regarding the grading of me company's tracks on Monroe street, Mayor Willis H. Plunkett de- oiared yesterday at a meeting of the city commission.
 Little. if any, headway has been made by the street railway company in complying with the order of the com mission. The company maintains that the tracks were laid according to the grade fixed by the city several years ago and that inasmuch as the city enanged the street grade, the expense or bringing the street railway tracks 10 the present grade should be borne by the city.
 In the latest move for peace, Mayor Plunkett suggested that board of ar Duration be appointed, the board to have full power in determining the is- sue and it's findings to be final and binding to both parties. Both sides could present their views in full before such a body, he declares. His sug- gestion provides that one member of the board be appointed by the city, one by the street railway company and the third to be named by the two ap- polntees. The city is now awaiting the reply of the traction company on this proposal
 Property hplders and merchants on First avenue, between Washington and Jefferson streets, presented a petition in which they requested that the com mission re-establish the parking sys- tenn in the center of the avenue, as formerly. The petition was tabled.

TELLS ADVANTAGES
 IF GROWING VETCH
 WITH GRAIN CROPS
By w. L. Hayden

If the true value of vetch when used ns a companion crop with barley, wheat or oats, were known, the seed houses would have something to do keeping a supply on hand This val ley will plant a large acreage to grains this winter. and this crop will be fol- lowed either with a sorghum grain crop, or be kept dry cultivated during the summer. to kill grasses.
 In either event. Vetch will help show the farm profit we all are so anxious to make this year. because Of a num- Der of reasons. We all know the kind of root system the grains have. Vetch has a fine matted root system, which generally goes down into the subsoil a matter of from 20 to 30 inches and spreads over large area. When vetch is companioned with grain ii
