STATISTICS SHOW
 FARM PRODUCTION
 OUTLOOK FAVORABLE
By G. Guy Miller

Arizona crop conditions have shown marked improvement during the past month, and especially in the Salt River valley. According to the Aug ust report which has just been com pleted by the United States agricul- tural statistician at Phoenix, the pro- duction of winter wheat is estimated at SS2,000 bushels. Maricopa county leads all others with 2S,000 acres. and 10000 acres of barley.
 Cantaloupe shipments from the valley this season numbered 1,45S cars. We have 5000 acres of corn, 5000 acres of oats, 1000 of potatoes and 75.000 acres of alfalfa. The Ari- zona cotton crop is S9 per cent nor mal with a forecast of 47.000 bales, of which 35,000 will be of the Pima long staple variety.
 MIX production over previous months shows a decided improve ment. That the valley is producing a superior brand of evaporated milk is evident from the number of carlot orders from eastern points. The Pa cific creamery at Tempe is operat- ing once more, under charge of a man who has had 30 years experi- ence in milk evaporation. Valley made milk should be given preference over other brands, for it equals any brand in quality
 The consumption of home products should be kept uppermost in the minds of citizens of Arizona.

MAY COOL HoMEs IN SUMMER

Americans may soon be living in
 lice houses.'
 The houses will not be the kind in
 which ice is stored, but a new type
 of dwellin9 designed by Leopold
 Pollak. an engineer and constructor,
 of Budapest, Hungary. He is con- .templating building a house manu- featuring plant in Philadelphia so
 that the public will have place to
 escape the sweltering heat without
 treklxing shoreward or northward. MT. Pollak said that the houses will be made of infusorial earth and covered with porous bricks. In ap- pearance they will be similar to those used by the natives of South Amer ica, who use monkey jugs" or water
 bottles made of pottery, to cool their homes.
 The South American natives place ! in each corner of a room a water 1 jug, and in a few moments the room 1 is cooled by evaporation. MT. Pollak | does not go into detail about his new plan. but states that he can regulate | the cooling of a house in summer in | a similar manner as that of heating { the same building in winter. He said he can make a home as cool as an | ice cellar on the hottest day in the year at a cost of approximately 10
 cents a day-Philadelphia Public Ledger.

 BEST SEASON
 FOR MANGOES

Midsummer is the best season for mangoes which are now available in northern markets, points out the United States Department of Agrfcul- ture. The mango is one of the really great fruits of the world. India with it's hundreds of millions of people has for centuries held it sacred. and honor. It is a fruit. the importance of which Americans are beginning to recognize. Several fine varieties are practically free from fiber. They can be eaten with & spoon easily as a muskmelon. These are not to be confused with the worthless seeding mangoes of the West Indies.
 fine example of the peach of the East Indian mango brought to Amer Tropics It is a seeding of the first here by the United States Department of Agriculture and planted at the ica. The original plant was brought field station at Miami. Fla Extra ordinary care was necessary at first to protect 1t from frost It was three times seriously threatened, The fruit development than those the parent plant bore.
 This type of mango. when ripe. is about the size of an avocado It Is smooth, egg-1shaped. with brilliant red eo1oring, shading of ito a luscious yellow, Northern dealers sell the fruit at from 65 to s5 cents each, Last season they cost as much as $l.So apiece. Americans are perhaps more open-ninded in trying out new foods than any other nationality in the world, and when people in this eoun- frv learn to like mangoeS they VIII he grown for popular consumption.

 This threw hot coals on the srnoul- dering ashes, and the fan was applied with added zest. Attorney-Genera1 Brundage called in his political aides. held a conference and then asked the Sangarpon County Circuit Court to hold a Grand Jury investigation of manipulations during the terms as Lieutenant Governor Fred B.

 The Grand Jury returned fndict- ments against both and also Vernon Curtic, a Grant Park banker 9and brother of the late Senator E. c. Cur tis. The indictments charge embez- clement and conspiracy to defraud in the handling of interest money re- ceived in the loan of 10,000.000 made from the State Treasury.

vices of Frederick Ward, than a youthful American whose exploits as first officer on Chinese gunboat had brought him into notice. He was a native of Salem, Mass.
 Under a commission of the Chinese government Ward organized what afterwards came to be called by the Chinese the Ever Victorious Army.'' City after city was taken from the Taipings by this army, which grew from a ragged nondescript force of a hundred to 10000.
 On the morning of Sept 20, 1862, when General Ward was directing an attack on the town of Tsz Xxi, he was mortally wounded. His troops cap tured the town but their leader passed away that night. He is buried in Sungkiang.
 The respect and the confidence that the Chinese had felt for General Ward in life they demonstrated by the hon. ors they paid him after his death and by the monument they erected to his memory at Sungkiang Here is the

Springfield, ILL, Aug. 12-A wound has been opened here in the Grand Old Party that may have bearing not alone on State politics but car ries with it the possibility of chang ing the color of the national situa- ton.

OUR EMBASSY IN
 POOR QUARTERS

Buenos Aires, Aug. 12-Refusal of the State Department at Washington to authorize sufficient funds to lease new embassy headquarters suitable to the dignity of the United States in the opinion of Frederic Jesup Stin- son, recently retired Ambassador, has forced the American embassy to take quarters in a building whose ground floor is occupied by a mattress fac tory, a carpenter shop and a ladies' tailoring establishment
 The Embassy was obliged to give up the building which has been the of flee of American diplomatic represen- tatives for the past 12 years owing to the desire of the owner to occupy it himself. This was a two-Story resi- dence of pleasing exterior, facing the Plaza San Martin and although far from pretentious, as compared with the legations of most other countries was well arranged, well appointed and entirely occupied by the Embassy It was obtained when rents in Buenos Aires were comparatively low, for 75O pesos a month, or little over $500 and this figure, on account of the friendship of she owner for Ambassa- dor St1nSon, was not raised when rents went soaring during the war.
 When it became necessary recently to give the place up. neither MT. Stimson nor Francis White, now Charge d' AffaireS, could find a build ing comparable to it for less than D.
 
 ment set limit of $50 pesos and now strangers looking for the American Embassy find a building a side street, whose shabby entrance is f1anked on one side by a window ex- hibit of gaudy colored mattresses and on the other by ladies' dress forms
 One ascends to the embassy head quarters by a dark spiral staircase, set in we'll, to a small "sala". or waiting room, which in winter is heated by an oil stove. There are ten other rooms which visitors agree are shabbily decorated and, with the exception of two with fireplaces, they have no heating apparatus.
 Recently there was a fire in the carpenters shop. Had the fire de- stroyed the building complete ar chieves dating from the days of Cae- sar Augustus Rodney, first American Minister to Argentina, a century ago, probably would have been lost
 Only one other nation has an en- bassy in Argentina and that is Spain which will soon house its ambassador in a palace costing nearly two mil lion pesos. The Chilean legation all ready has a veritable palace, while the Columbia legation boasts of two pretentious buildings, one as the min isters' residence and the other for the legation offices, connected by a beau tifu1 garden. France has a legation which cost 500,000 pesos. The Brit elaborately housed. The present Embassy of the United States sits in the shadow of a building across the street, twice as big and handsomely appointed, occupied by the legation of Cuba.

LIGHTING THE MODERN HOME.

When we talk of lighting the mod ern home, there is generally but one idea that enters our nfnds-electric lighting. Even those dwellings re- mote fro many power-house, are in stalling small generators in prefer ence to the oil or gas lighting sys- tems.
 Then, too, when we refer to good lighting we no longer think of glar ing bulbs of light, exposing all the harsh glow of the white, hot fila menta. causing ones eyes to suuint and strain to find things in the cor ners of the room: but we picture a room flooded with mellow illumina- ton emitted from fixtures which shield the direct rays of light from our vision.
 our conception of good illumination, in the quantity and intensity of the light we expect from the incandes- cent bulb. It was only @ few years ago that we marveIled at the yellow light given off by the sixteen candle power. carbon f1lament bulb, But today. if g. bulb gave off as feeble an attempt at lighting as did these old ones, we would think it on its way to the graveyard of nghtnfng-bugs. We cannot talk of stxteen-candle- power lamps when the glow of a mod ern Mazda light is around. We used to speoffy on the plans SO many six teen-cand1e-power lights for the din- ing room or living room fixtures. and 1t Is hard to change our habits to refer to the modern 70 or 50 watt lamps which have taken their place in the home,
 Thus within a period of not more than ten years our whole conception of illumination has been tolted out of a rut.
