Another request that Chas. w.

Jones requested Harris to comply with the governors demands as soon as possi- ble, "in order to render unnecessary any court proceedings to be institut- ed.'
 He pointed out that his department was not responsible for the tone of the governors latest demand or for the language used, but expressed the hope that Harris would use his best en- deavors to make a satisfactory ad- justment and settlement of his ac-

Natu- rally in their company we find the older types of fans, like that shown in the picture above, the cut steel slipper buckles, together with beaded, knitted and crocheted purses and wide brimmed, flower trimmed hats. They are all enchanting. with flavor of old time elegance.
 Among new arrivals there are some matched sets in sports clothes that seem destined to success, with people who can afford them. They are the new skirts, scarfs and hats made to match, or skirts, scarfs and parasols, or scarf, bag and hat; in fact almost any combination of not more than three pieces. They are triumph at south- ern resorts and will journey north and reappear in the summer on the beaches, in the mountains, and elsewhere.

COTTON PLANTING TO
 BE TRIED IN SONORA

Sonora, Mexico, is the center of what will be one of the greatest cot ton growing districts of the Americas, according to Capt. J. c. Beasley of Hermosillo. Extensive experimental crops on the San Carlos ranch, 33 mil es from Hermosillo, have been planted this year under the direction of the captain to try out the district as a producing section. The initial crops, he says, are doing nicely, both long and short staple cotton growing well.
 It is expected that large acreage will be planted next year, as the San Carlos proposition will be developed on an extensive scale. Other planters in Sonora report large acreage of cot ton, and to care for the saving of the crops the Arizona Cotton Growers as sociation has leased an extensive floor space here for storage purposes. The association also will handle Mexican labor.

NEW LOCO WEED
 IS PROVING MENACE
 TO RANGE CATTLE

MORALES, June 12.-Range cattle are menaced by a new variety of loco weed, according to Josiah Bond, a veteran ranchman of Santa Cruz county.
 "A great deal has been said and written about the poisoning of cattle and horses by certain members of the peo family, generally known as loco weeds" says Bond. "There is a var iety of these plants in southern Ari- zona, and there seems to be much op- portunity for improvement in the knowledge of the people regarding the ones which do the damage.
 "There is an old-time loco weed supposed to deal death. It was par ticularly perilous to horses, making them insane at times, although on other occasions they appeared to be all right. The only horses l have seenacted just like man with sum- stroke. This probably accounts for the same loco.
 "A new kind of loco weed with pur- ple blossoms has been very abundant this year. It does not affect horses, but poisons cattle. After eating con- siderable of it, cows become weak in the back and seem to- lose the power of handling their legs. They do not recover, but finally refuse to get up at all and die slowly. It has been called the tottering weed. All the range men declare it is a serious men ace to the COW business.
 "I have seen large tracts blue with the flowers of this plant. In one place I saw fifty or sixty acres as thick with the pretty but deadly lit tie plants as they could stand. The new loco weed is not to be confused with the common rattle weed, which also is injurious and is one of the same plant family. The loco weed comes out in profusion when the range is over- stocked and wet spring oc- curs."
 Steps will be taken, Bond says, to combat the loco weed of every variety as the growths gid fair to cause large losses to cattlemen and discourage capital from going into the cattle bus mess, thus lowering the price of lands

 Mother shook her head. "We'll just wait and let God punish him." she pro posed.

Long Prison Sentence
 Given Still Operator

Judge Sawtelle, at the Globe term of the federal court, this week had a large number of violators of the dry law before him on various charges of infractions of the prohibitory law and many drew sentences of $1OO fine and some taking the jail route in pay ment. The one big fine imposed was that against John Colleran, who was arrested some time ago on charge of operating a still. Colleran plead guilty and was fined in the sum of A,OOO and given four years in the fed eral penitentiary at Leavenworth. Mrs. A. Mcconnell was also charged with the same offense, being part ner in the distilling of liquor. As soon as sentence had been pronounced on Colleran thirteen other violators pleaded guilty, but the court let them off lightly. In passing on the case of Colleran Judge Sawtelle stated that it was one of the most fragrant violations of the federal law that had come under his observation. E. B.
 Sisk, federal prohibition investigator
 was the only witness in the case, his testimony being to the effect that when the raid was made on the Coll eran place he found Attorney McCann
 counsel for defendant, there and that McCann was in the act of drinking some of the home brew. McCanr asked to be allowed to make a state ment, but Judge Sawtelle informed him that he could do that when he answered to disbarment charges which were to be filed against him.

!HAULACE HAS
one SOLUTION
COMMERCIAL TRUCKS SHOULD BE
LOOKED AFTER AND KEPT IN
p GOOD REPAIR AT ALL TIMES.

Haulage problems which confront
the average manufacturer require care
zful consideration, because so much de-
#pends upon the regularity and pre-
kcision of DELIVERIES.
The average manufacturer. whether
individual or corporation, usually
assigqs driver to handle a truck; and
5then. In the press Of other matters it's
performance is frequently forgotten
until trouble arises. A motor truck is
essentially business investment
tytelding returns more clearly eable
than Perhaps any other piece of ma
ichinery which the manufacturer buys.
"A motor truck is bought to deliver
merchandise quickly, regularly. and
economically. These three points,
properly considered. should decide upon
the particular truck to install.
Conservative manufacturers, large
and small, engaged in almost every
conceivable line of business, have
stamped their approval on Republic
motor trucks. Since its inception in
1913. the Republic Motor Truck Co.,
Inc. has striven to give American
manufacturers the best possible COM
mercial truck. Foremost transporta-
ton experts employed. have accumu-
lated for the Republic Company an un-
/. usual fund of transportation knowl-
edge Observations are made and tests
continuously conducted to improve II
possible any mechanical features. 1t
fcan safely be said that the Republic
fcombines sounder engineering princi-
piles and gives the purchaser more sat
1sfactory return on the investment
than any other truck offered. This
statement is made possible by the ac-
ceptance of Republic principles evil
denced In the $4,000 Republics in SER
vice In every line of business.
Republic reputation is international
In some OF our own cities. Republics
in service equal in number the COM
bined total OF all other makes.
Republic trucks have built into them
ample reserve strength to Withstand
unusual service conditions, and fire.
quentiy are required to absorb abuses
which the ordinary truck could not
begin to assimilate. Maintenance Of
over 1900 fully equipped and author
lied Republic service stations, elm
mates the danger of long delays and
loss of time in making repairs or re-
tlacements.
+ Manufacturers find Republic trucks
most dependable in meeting their di-
&versified hauling requirements. Com
petition with other trucks furnishes
proof OF the low operating expense
possible with Republics because the
principles employed in them assure de-
livery of maximum power and high
mileage from fuel and lubricant used
