A suspended sentence of ten years imprisonment was imposed Friday morning by Judge Stanford on Ava Patterson, the 1S-year-old boy on trial in the superior court at Phoenix for the murder of his father, Frank J. Patterson, in October, 1919.
 Conditions imposed with the sen tence were that Patterson was to de- posit $30 month in the bank to his own credit, to stay in nights, to be under the custody of the county pro- bation officer and to report to him once week until further notice from the court.
 Patterson was found guilty of man. slaughter in the superior court after a jury had been out "A hours without agreeing on verdict. When they re- turned one member recommend, ed that Judge Stanford impose a sus, pended sentence on the boy.
 The plea of Patterson at the trial was one of self-defense. He declared that his father had attacked him with paper weight and that he fired ee. cause he feared for his life. Other members of the family told of in. stances where the father threatened his sons life.

MRS. ARNOLD WEEDS
 JOHN R. HAMPTON

A marriage that will be of interest in university circles, an account of which appeared in the Arizona Repub- lican, is that of Dolly Mckee Arnold, widow of Charles Arnold, who mar ried the partner of her former hus- band, John R. Hampton, one of the most prominent men in the state. The news came as complete surprise to their Phoenix friends. Last summer Mrs. Arnold took special course in journalism at the university. She con- tinued her studies this fall, being a student at the time when she became the bride of MT. Hampton at Berkeley. The only witnesses to the ceremony were MT. and Mrs. c. O. Van Valer, formerly of Phoenix.
 At present they are spending their honeymoon in San Francisco, but will return to Phoenix December 1st, where they have leased the Cobb res idenc on Eighteenth avenue.
 Mrs. Hampton is a member of one of the pioneer families of the state, while her husband formerly lived in Greenlee county which he represented in the state legislature for number of terms. He has been mentioned for governor, but has given up political life to devote his entire time to his ex- tensive law practice.-Phoenix Ga zette.

NAVAJO RUG WEAVERS
 AT THE STATE FAIR

Hostine Haskam, Alaskan Behetzah and Tosh Tesh were three Navajos who came from Navajo Springs, Ari- zona, to demonstrate Navajo rug weaving at Arizona state fair. They camped near the Indian building and were daily on duty in booth arrang- ed for their work. They were easily the greatest attraction of the Indian building or of the agricultural build ing, to which we are adjacent. Our Navajo friends were sent through an arrangement made with Supt. R. F.. L. Daniel, of Keams Canon, and Lor- enzo Hubbell, Indian trader at Oraibi. While at the fair the spare time of the rug weavers was occupied by talk ing in the sights, to them quite won derful. The automobile races, the bal loon ascension, with parachute drop, and the flying machines, were all new to them. Hostine Haskam, the man of the party, declined an invitation to have a free ride in the airplane but expressed delight at seeing other men do it.-Native American.

CAMPBELL ACCEDES PHELAN'S STAND
 ON YELLOW PERIL


 ator Phelan. of San Francisco, Cover, nor Campbell wired telegram of pro. test against the ''ydlow peril" His message was as follows:
 Secretary of State,
 State Department,
 Washington, D. C.
 'I feel that voice the general sen. timent of the people of Arizona wher l offer protest against the execution of any treaty with Japan that would give the natives of that country the privilege of citizenship here. 1 an confident that under no circumstances would Japan attempt any conflict al arms with this nation, and yet on the Pacific coast very apparent progres. is being made toward the conquest oi the agricultural valleys which now are filled by Orientals who virtually con, trol the food supply of the coast. "Very evident something is behind this movement other than personal oi group initiative. It would be we'll il further progress be stopped of the wedge that now is displacing Cau. casian industry and that is creating alien control of foodstuffs wherever il becomes intrenched. 1 would have nc fear were the invaders really desirous of assimilation.
 "The contrary is the case:
 "There is no sympathy with Amer. ican institutions and there is absolute fealty to those of their home land. In- ter-marriage between the two racial ttypes is incredible. On broad grounds l protest against the implied legal. ized establishment upon our soil of an alien group fundamentally opposed to American institutions.
 THOMAS E. CAMPBELL,
 Governor of Arizona"
 Commenting on the situation the governor said:
 "The essence of all American i'm. migration questions is whether the immigrant has potential value as a citizen and capabilities for assumption of patriotic citizenship. The Japan. csc, without doubt, do not measure UT to this standard. To allow them citi. zenship on an equality with immi. grants of European culture undoubt. edly would constitute a danger tc i American institutions and menace to Californian political institutions. cannot believe that Japan has any idea of conquest by force of arms or the Pacific coast, but it does seem ap. parent that she is insidiously cam. paigning for control of the coasts az ricultural industry. The people ot California have sat as a jury upor this question and have decided by ar enormous majority in favor of Japan csc restriction. Assuredly their yer. dict is we'll worthy of consideration and respect by the people of the Unit ed States at large and by the nationa administration at, Washington. would suggest there need be no large degree of apprehension over the re suit as long as the United States sen ate retains it's constitutional preroga tive of disapproval of executive treat ies."

PURPLE DEATH RUMOR
 PROVED TO BE FALSE

The Gazette having received com munication on Nov. 8, asking why the papers had not published anything about the deaths, on the Fort Apache reservation, from the Purple Death, started an investigation as to whether there was any truth in the many vague rumors which had appeared concerning the mysterious malady. Inquiries at the state health office and elsewhere developed that they knew nothing whatever of any exist ing epidemic of deaths as reported, but not satisfied and wishing to give the public all the authentic news pos sible, the Gazette wrote the Indian Agent at Fort Apache and his reply shows that someone evidently is hav- ing some sport with publications which have taken the Purple Death" as an assured fact. The superintendent s letter follows:
 "Fort Apache Agency,

 "This seeems to be purely hoax. There is no such disease prevalent. and nothing on which to base such a report. There have been no unusual number of deaths. A few of the pu- pills have been sick, largely intestinal troubles, and a few cases of what ap- pears to be some form of flu which is found largely throughout the country, but no deaths.
 "The only thing have heard of the Purple Death has come from the Phoenix papers. l should be glad to know the source from whence your in- formation comes.

Farmers Save By Shipping
Co.Operatively

Recently County Agent Asa A. Pry
or of Fayette county, assisted his
farmers in making shipment of
sheep and cattle. The returns from
the shipment were satisfactory &C
cording to Mr.. Pryor. To demonstrate
the value of cooperative shipping of
livestock Mr. Pryor states that one
farmer shipped his old sheep thru
the cooperative association and re-
ceived S7.15 head, neighbor ship
ped some alone and received $3.50 a
head In another instance farmer
waas offered $500 for his lot by a
stock buyer and received $1o4.75
above all expenses by shipping the CO.
operative way. This haas been the
history of cooperative livestock mar
keting in practically every county
that has used it as a. means of dis
posing Of their livestock. 1t has re-
suited in saving and making thous-
and of dollars to the farmers Of the
state each year.

only does IL afford much needed rec.
reation to the farmer and his fam
lily, but it is a powerful factor in the
development of agriculture. They
give a clear demonstration Of what
the farmers of the community are
doing. The county fair reflects the
progress of the county and the state
fair shows the accomplishments of
the whole state. These exhibits re-
veal and emphasize new and more
profitable methods and means of
making crops and handling livestock.
They inspire competition that has a
tendency to raise the quality and
quantity of production.
These fairs need the support of
every farmer and it is his duty to ex-
hibit the best he has of wheat, oats
corn, or other grains, livestock, etc
These exhibits at the fairs are an in
dex of the agricultural and livestock
development and possibilities of the
community, county and state.

Club Boy Paying For His Edueatior

Chase Garland, a cllb boy of
Johpson County, is demonstrating
that it is possible for the farm boy to
educate himself when given the
chance. He operates a portion Of his
fathers farm during the spring and
summer and earns enough money TO
send himself to school during the fall
and winter.
Chase is member of the potato
club and has one-quarter acre Of po-
tatoes, altho one acre is all that is
required of each member Chase also
has two and one half acres of corn.
The corn has been well cultivated
and promises a good yield.
Being believer in livestock farm
ing this boy has a purdbred Short
horn bull, a Shorthorn cow and calf.
He also has tive year old Denmark
Filley colt Last year the bull brought
in $3.50 as fees from other cattlemen
His shorthorns are of the milk pro-
ducing strain so his cow is produc-
ing milk and raising a calf.
Chase's ambition is to educate him.
self wfile he has opportunity and
stated that the would like to study
agriculture. When told that he could
enter the University of Tennessee
and study agriculture when he has
completed the high school work in
Mountain City, he decided to set that
as a goal to work for
Every farmer who gives his son a
chance and encourages him as this
boys father is doing will be rewarded
in the end
The boy who educates himself as
ually profits more than one who has
it given or thrust upon him.
Every club member so inclined to
farm and raise livestock, will find the
college of agriculture most helpful
in preparing him to be a successful
farmer In fact this is the type OF
boy that will profit most from the
agricultural course.

or turf oats. These crops might be
plowed under the spring after they
have been used as winter and early
spring pasture.
For nearly five years the world
was busily destroying the accumula-
ton of centuries and during that
time many ordinary things were left
undone. Now, every man in some way
must help replace this loss. A large
percent of the men who went to war
were taken from the farms. This of
course, lessened farm labor.
This shortage of labor and food
supply must be overcome by in
creasing the fertility of the soil; les
sen the number of acres per man and
mule. And by practicing good cult
walton.
One acre properly cared for will
produce as much or more than four
acres not made rich in plant food. In
other words one man can make as
much on one acre of rich land as on
four acres of poor land.
Sow a part of your land in clover
or other soil building crops. Grow
more livestock; pasture some OF your
land, and look after proper drainage
Enrich and deepen your soil and
make greater yield of crops.

thing when it formally decided to
bar peddlers from the Jersey CITY
public markets and voted to pre-
serve these market places

decision would have meant the
breaking of faith with the people
who supported these farmers mar
kets SO literally last year and who
are ready to support them again
This wear If the markets r kept

Tomorrow morning all four mar.
kets in Jersey City will be opened
again, this time with the distinct un.
derstanding that the police are mol
to tolerate any interference by ped
dlers or by any others not recogniz-
ed as legitimate farmers.
Acting Mayor Cannon has also
done a timely thing by suggesting a
supervision of the prices charged by
the farmers in order that the prices
may be kept down to the lowest pos.
sibie figures and to the end tina
these markets may really help bring
down the cost of food here. As q
