Didn't Look Like poiieA

Sport is making great strides in France, but the police occasionally make strange mistakes when they see long line of runners sprinting along the roads and across country.
 Not long ago at Vincennes a number of young athletes from the military school of sport were indulging in a paper chase through the woods when they were arrested by gendarmes for being improperly dressed. They were all in white vests and running shorts, The gendarmes, however, had appar- ently not heard of such articles of at tire or of the military school of sport. Protests made by the colonel in com mand had no effect
 few days later, however. when the local gendarmes made fresh haul of a dozen athletes. they realized their er- TOT, for the leader explained that he was an inspector of police and that the runners behind him were all Paris policemen enjoying fortnight's train ing.-From the Continental Edition of the London Mail.

A man on the South side advertised his car for sale. Early the next morn ing a man who lived across the street came over and said: Pardon me, but I see by last nights paper you adver- tised your car for sale"
 Quite true," said the man who ad- vertised the car, "but surely you are not in the market for it."
 "No," was the reply, but I only live across the street and also want to sell my car. And there would be no need of me spending my money for an advertisement if after the people were through looking at your car you could just send them across the street to look at my car."-Indianapolis News.

NO LONGER SIMPLE PROBLEM
Matter of Food, in These Days Of Statistics, Has Become Cues
 ton of Calculation.

Once upon time this problem of food was a very simple matter. Three times a day, as a rule, the attention of man was drawn to a hollow feeling located due east of the lower end of the vertebral column. This vacancy he proceeded to fill with slab of bread, a chunk of beef, pot of rice, etc., favored as rule with butter, jam, garlic, etc., according to race, re- ligion, climate, age, etc. This settled the problem till the next call from the far East.
 It pains us to say that this was liv- ing to eat and not eating to live. It showed no adjustment of means to end. It was a system of food that made no distinction between a long shoreman and a free-verSe poet. It was internal anarchy.
 Happily the truth has been realized. The consumption of food is no longer destructive but constructive. Man no longer eats corned beef and cabbage, but the vitamines in the beef and the polyzeugmatics fn the cabbage. When he picks up the bill of fare he no long CT says, What will most speedily and cheaply allay the unrest in my far EastY' but he says, "Where can l find the 12,5OO carbonuxates that will give me the right outlook on the League of Nations?" And he finds 1t in unpolish- ed rice. Or he says to himself, 'I am now at work on the fourth act of my poetic drama: to make 1t convincing to Belasco I must absorb 3,2OO per maganazoids daily for the next 30 days" So he slaves the kernels off the corn and eats the cob. Perhaps with coconut butter, for the added col loidal saxophoniams.

Side Whisker Back in London,


 The London exquisite Is doing his best to cultivate side whiskers, a fash ion that was somewhat drowned upon few years ago when Lord Rocksav- age attempted its resurrection. But that was In the days before the war and probably 1t Is as a change from the regulation military mustache of the last five or six years that British young men of today are growing tufts of hair in front of their ears with most hideous result.
 The earl of Lonsdale and his broth CT, the Hon. Lancelot Lowther, have always been famous in the fashionable world for wearing "sideboards," but in this hirsute face fitting they are usual ly credited with a desire to suggest the "sporting" atmosphere in which they are generally to be found.

The Scrap.

Representative Frear interrupted the reading of a report to say:
 official language Is always rather ludicrous. Once two scrubwomen in government employ had an argument, as a result of which the weaker vessel was laid up for some days.
 'An official inquiry was duly held, and the victorious scrubwoman re- ceived letter which said, among oth- CT things:
 "Is 1t true, as reported, that said Mrs Hagan received certain ocular and nasal contusions at your handsf
 "The scrubwoman in official language wrote back:
 "T regret to say that the answer Is in the infirmary.'"

WALLAPAI VALLEY
 WHEAT AND RYE

Thursday last J. A. Frost, who has a dry farm in the Wallapai valley, brought to town samples of spring and winter wheat and rye, which were grown without irrigation on his place this year. The heads were full and the grain was in excellent shape. While the yield per acre was not as large as upon irrigated lands, it yet was large enough to be a pay crop. Mir. Frost sowed his grain last fall, but did not drill it in, the sowing was done broadcast and then the grani was raked in, which did not give it the proper covering. Mir. Frost will blow up his fields this year and drill in all his grain, which will undoubted- ly give him big stand of wheat. The wheat will be placed on exhibition at the Northern Arizona fair at Pres colt and also at Phoenix.
 Mir. Frost also planted some cotton to ascertain what might be expected from that crop without irrigation and has splendid field that is now burst ing the bolls. He counted 60 bolls to one stalk of cotton.-Kingman Miner.

ARIZONA CROP REPORT
 For September, 1920.
%%%%%%%*%%%%**S . .

General crop conditions in Arizona, September l, 1920, were slightly low CT than one month ago, according to the government crop report just is- sued by the local office of the bureau of crop estimates. While crops in the irrigated districts maintained their earlier promise of good yields, those in the dry-land areas were adversely af- fected by the lateness of the summer rains.
 Based on conditions September 1, the outlook is for a crop of about l. 036, ,000 bushels of corn, 1,118,000 bushels of wheat, 369,OO0 bushels of oats, S64, ,O00 bushels of barley, 439,- 900 bushels of potatoes, 425,000 tons of hay, 74,000 bushels of beans, l. 112,000 bushels of grain sorghums and 112,000 bales of cotton including both the American-Egyptian and short sta- pie varieties.
 Compared with last year this would be a decrease of 157,0O0 bushels of corn, $500 bushels of wheat, 64,0O0 bushels of oats, 23S,0O0 bushels of barley, 268,000 tons of hay, 62,000 bushels of beans, and 918,000 bushels of grain sorghums, and an increase of S9,000 bushels of potatoes, and 52,000 bales of cotton.
 Compared with conditions August l, 1920, corn shows a decline of 2 points; oats, point potatoes, 8 points; beans, 5 points, and grain sorghums, 15 points. American-Egyptian cotton gained point, while the short staple lost 1 opint, being reported at S5 and 94 respectively. Range pastures de- clined from 84 to 30. f] ft'.
 For the United States, nearly all crops showed a marked improvement during the month. Corn is estimated at 3,131 ,OOO, 900 bushels, gain of 128,- 100000 bushels during August. This would be the largest crop ever har- vested in the United States. Last year the crop was about 2,760, ,00t, 900 bush els. Oats are estimated al; 1,442, ,00O bushels, compared with 1,415, ,000, ,000 bushels produced last year; wheat about 770,OO0, 900 bushels, compared with 822 200, ,000 bushels last year; barley, 195, ,000, 900 bushels, compared with 215 900 900 bushels last r;and cotton, 12,873, 900 bales, compared with III 1928, 900 bales last year.

BUILDING LARGE SILO

Wm. Nagiller is erecting a large silo on his ranch south of town, with view to providing cheaper feed for his stock in winter. The silo is to be of the pit type. Henry Redwine has been digging the pit and has it nearly completed. The pit is twenty feet deep.N It vii hold hundred tons of silage. MT. Nagiller has good crop of both corn and sunfiowers with which to fill the silo. The sunfowers are of the large Russian variety and are considered even better than corn for ensilage.
 The recent frosts have hurt both crops but they may yet be used by adding water to freshen them up.-- Williams News.
