DIVERSIFIED FARMING
 IN SONORA VALLEY

NOGALES, Ariz., July 6 (by Asso- ciated Press) Farmers in the Yaqui river district of Sonora are going in heavily for diversified agriculture, planting large crops of wheat, rice and corn, whereas heretofore they de- voted themselves almost exclusively to the production of garbanzos ac- cording to Americans who returned from that section. *
 This, it is claimed, does not mean that the .garbanzo crop will be ma terially decreased; but that the far mers will be sure of one crop that will make a profitable yield and be able to rotate crops on scientific basis instead of ex1lausting the soil by the continual planting of the crops
 Rice has already become an import ant item of eXportation from the Yaqui country, and corn also has been extensively grown there The grow ing of wheat however, is still some what of an experiment.

FIELD MARSHAL SAYS NO
 SUCH THING AS PEACE

LONDON, July (by Associated Press) s)-What was called a straight talk" was given at an annual meeting of the Union Jack Club by Field-Mar- shal Sir Henry Wilson who described himself as "an old soldier who knows what he is talking about"
 "We have been told" he said, "that we went into the war to end the war. We did not. We went into it to save our skins. We were told that after tho war we would have peace but we have not got it. There are at present between 20 and 30 wars, big and little, going on We are told that the war should end war but it did not and could not.
 we are living in ticklish and dan gerous times, and our command on sea, on land, and in the air is being challenged in various parts of the world"

SL0VAKSDENY
 TAKING OF ANY
 SIBERIAN LOOT

TOXIC, July (by Associated Press) The Czecho-Slovak minister in Tokio, Garel Pergler, has refuted the report that the Czech troops leaving Siberia by the President Grant were taking hundreds of tons of gold, silver, copper, machinery, sugar and other loot MT. Pergler said: "The fact is that whatever the Czecho- Slovaks are carrying away from Siberia, in this case on an American transport, is their own property, pur- chased with their own money.
 ''The Czecho-Slovaks have been in Siberia for a long time These sol diers are educated men, many of them university graduates or intelli- gent artisans and craftsmen. As sol diers they were allotted a certain amount of pay. Instead of spending their pay they pooled their financial resources and founded a, large trading company and also bank, the Bank of tEe Czecho-Slovak Legionaries. These resources were increased under Rus sian conditions because the pay was fixed in francs but paid in Russian equivalent of French currency These institutions bought considerable sup plies and it is those supplies which are now being transported, to the re- public.
 ;. ''The men were especially anxious to buy cotton which is needed for our textile industry and their purchases became so extensive that last ctober the Russian economist advocated a limitation of Czech purchases of cot ton in Siberia, thus incidentally prov ing that we are dealing with legiti- mate trade, based upon the ordinary methods of sale and purchase
 What Czech soldiers do with their income, meagre as it is, is best illus trated by the fact that in 1918 they subscribed almost 5,000,000 francs to loan initiated by the Czecho-Slo- yak national council for the purpose of supporting this very army"

LONDON IS ON EVE OF
 REBUILDING PERIOD

LONDON, July (by Associated Press). London, which travellers maintain changes more slowly than any other great capital is yielding to the necessity of providing for con- tinued inrushes of population. There are many indications that the city is on the eve of an unprecedented era of rebuilding.
 Instead of stretching further into the beautiful country lying immediate ly outside it's bounds, the predicted building boom is likely to be a process Of tightening up anG levelling up by better utilization of wasted spaces and acceptance of the American sky scraper idea.
 Evidences of the last named 'influ- ence are to be seen today along Lon- don's newest downtown thorough fare-Kingswa the Strand. Here a number of buildings, either built by Americans or designed for American occupancy, are in the pro- cess of construction. Shortage of skilled men in the building trades and hindrances due to England's lease hold system are the main handicaps, but the fact remains that London is changes.
