COTTON SITUATION IMPROVES, REPORTS
 PIMA ASSOCIATION

Satisfactory progress Is being made in working out the plans, per sonnel and finances of the Arizona Pimacotton Growers association, ac- cording to statement issued yes- terday.
 P. M. James of Chandler, a former banker and business man of long experience, and rated by those who know him as a high class and all- round office man, has been selected by the board Of directors as manager, subject to the approval of the execu- tive committe when the members Of the committee return.
 James R. Ray, a cotton classer of IA years experience in long staple cotton, holding government graders license for both Arizona and the municipal warehouse at San Pedro, California, has been engaged to head the grading and chasing department.
 Negotiations for financing the as- sociation are under way in number of directions and being pushed as rapidly as possible, according to the statement.
 The cotton market situation has been improving steadily for some time" continues the statement, "and is due for still further improvement The government crop condition re- | port issued yesterday shows a croI condition of 49.3 per cent of normal probable crop of about 100000 bales, or the smallest crop in 3( years. This had the effect of jump

that special traffic officers were de- tailed to regulate 1t to some extent. These officers acted as good-natured assistants for motorists who com piled with the law by parking next to the curbing and as a consequence found themselves damned in by cars helped the abiding motorist move the obstructing cars and clear pathway for his exit.
 So far there has been little oppor- tunity to test the merits of diagonal parking on First avenue. Most of the cars in the two blocks set aside for the purpose are run into the stalls at o'clock in the morning and allowed to remain there until 5 o'clock in the afternoon. A careful checking yesterday showed that 40 cars parked on First avenue between Washington and Monroe streets were there at g a. m. and at D. m. There are parking accommodations for about 80 cars in the two blocks. Under ordinance SIP, parking in the business district during these hours Is restricted to 30 minutes
 If every motorist complied with this provision of the ordinance, so cars could be parked in a single block during the course of one hour, or $40 cars from g a. m. until p. m. There are 20 blocks in the congested dis trict. If every motorist observed the time limit, 12,S00 cars could be ac- commodated in the down. town area during business hours.

SPOTLIGHT |S NOT
 AGAINST MOTOR LAM

Use of an automobile spotlight does not constitute a violation of the Arizona motor light law. That, in brief, was the substance of a ver- dict returned by a jury of six in Henry J. Sullivan's East Phoenix precinct justice court Wednesday in an action instituted by the state against Eugene J. Hughes, a well known local sign painter.
 Hughes was one of more than a hundred motorists caught in a sher ifs crusade against violators of the motor vehicle light law last Satur- day night. Taken into court Monday he demanded a formal arraignment, the offense constituting a misde- meanor under the Arizona statutes. After entering a plea, his trial was held yesterday afternoon.
 Six men heard the evidence present. ed by county officers who made the arrest. A brief defense was offered. After short deliberations the jury returned a verdict of not guilty.

GET LAST CASH FROM
 S4,000,000 BONDS

The final instalment from the sale of the s4,000,000 issue of county road bonds was received yesterday by the county from the buyers of the bonds. The remittance was sent through the National Bank of Arizona and was turned over to Vernon S. Wright, county treasurer late yesterday aft ernoon by T. W. Benson, clerk of the board of supervisors. The remittance was made up as follows: s964. 900. principle, s7,S32.5O, premium. and s11,o45.sS,e accrued interest, totaline s9S2, ,S7S.33.
 Much interest has centered about this remittance which was due yes terday as it was feared from reports that it might be held up, in which case the hard road program of the county would be hafed. The con- tractors will not be able to push the work of completing the first program of the county. The board of super visors stated yesterday, an effort would be made by them to sell the bonds of the s4,50o,0o issue when the embargo placed on them by the buy CTS of the first bonds expired early in November. Should they succeed the second road program will be car ried out without delay.

ARIZONA READY ID
 JOIN IN MOVEMENT
 FUR REDUCED RATES

corporation Commissioner D. F. Jonnson said yesterday that though the commission had not yet been of neially apprised of the concerted movement of the western states ini uated by Governor Shoup of Colo rado, to go before the Interstate com merce commission with a request for the summation of the rate advance granted the roads nearly a year ago. the commission could be counted upon to lend it's fullest aid
 The history of the high rates be- gan with the government admins tration of the roads, when Director General McAdoo put in higher rates amounting to an average of more than 25 per cent.
 On the return of the roads to their owners, the latter asked for a further advance, and that was granted by the interstate commerce commission on an ex parte hearing. This ad- vance varied in different zones from 25 per cent to AZ per cent. It amounted to 25 per cent in this state and was made applicable also to in- trastate rates.
 Several of the states protested against the action at the time among them Arizona. Wisconsin was also a protestant and with NeM York and some others was defeated in fed eral court. but the Wisconsin case was taken to the United States SUI preme court, where it is now pend ing.
 In the recent hay and grain hearing before the interstate commerce com mission an attack was made upor this advance as to the commodities of hay and grain. From the Asso csated Press dispatch of Thursday morning with reference to the tele

ENF FORCEMENT OF LAW REMEDY FUR
 PARKING PROBLEM

Will diagonal parking, as re-intro- duced into Phoenix on First avenue, prove successful?
 Parking diagonally to the curbing was tried out in Phoenix four years ago, when the method proved unsat- isfactory. But there have been many complaints against the system of parking parallel with the curbing, and parking in the center of the street is impossible in the congested district. So what is the answer?
 Force every motorist to comply with the provisions of Ordinance 312," is the solution offered by Bush Anderson. city traffic manager.
 "When cars were allowed to park diagonally to the curbing four years ago there were 27 accidents within block during the course of a single week. Anderson asserted. That method of parking is dangerous, as cars must back from their stalls right into the stream of traffic. This caused an accident on First avenue last Wednesday night.
 Traffic officers and the motoring public generally agree that the great est evils of the present traffic sys- tenn in the city are double parking and parking overtime.
 Ordinance 312 specifics that there shall be no double parking. Since that ordinance became effective( or was scheduled to go into effecD sev- eral thousand tags have been at tached to motors cars which failed to park next to the curbing. Each tag served as a summons for the motorist to appear before the city magistrate to answer for the offense. There is 1 no record of any fine ever having been assessed in any of these cases. Double parking became so common

Too much water on the range is a statement difficult to believe in the light of many months drouth, yet that is the report from the observer on the northeastern plateau, with head quarters at Pinto.

At Pinedaie, immediately north of the Mogollon rim, heavy rains have continued and range and water are 200 per cent compared with normal and cattle are excellent. Moderate to heavy showers continue on the drain age basin of the Roosevelt reservoir and the run-off is considerable; range conditions and stock are excel lent.

DANIEL WEBSTER WAS
LAND SPECTATOR In
STATE OF WISCONSIN

1t may not be generally known that
the great orator and statesman, Dan
iel Webster, owned wild land in Wis
cOnsin during the years when specu-
lation in farm land was common. In
one Dane County township, Pleasant
Springs, he paid taxes in 1889 on l.
$50 acres, and he is known to have had
lands in other townships as well.
Some Of it was entered at government
prices. The Pleasant Springs land he
did not buy of the government. 1t
was entered in part by another Mas
sachusetts statesman, Edward Ev-
erett, and in part by Lucius Lyon, of
Detroit, Michigan, one of the survey
ors of Wisconsin lands, who later SER
we'd in Congress and doubtless bar
gained with Webster at Washington.
By 1914 Webster had disposed of his
holdings in this township, having sold
several tracts to settlers and reconvey-
ed an entire section to Mr.. Everett.
Between Okee and Lodi one may
see from a car window tract of land
once owned by Webster.

CHAPLAIN'S FAMOUS FLAG
GIVEN TO STATE MUSEUM

A chaplain's flag carried by Chaplain
William F. Hood, of Superior, from the
beginning to the end of the World war
was recently given to the State His
torical museum at Madison by the
owner and is now on exhibit. The flag
is dark blue with a white cross upon
it.
The flag was carried mostly with
32nd division infantry. 1t was with
Chaplain Hood at Camp Douglas in
1917 and later at Camp Nc Arthur
with the 128th infantry. In 1918, he
took it with the American Expendi-
tionary Forces into the battles Of
Champa gpe-M arne, Oisne-Aisne, and
Meuse Argonne. From then until July
1919, the flag was at the base sec
ton at headquarters, Port of Marseil-
les, Bouches on Rhone, France.

REPORT SHOWS BIG
DECREASE IN JOBS

The number Of persons employed by
the large employers in Wisconsin who
make regular monthly reports to the
industrial commission in December
was II per cent less than the number
employed in November. This percen>
tage of decrease was greater during
this month than in any preceding
month.
The total decrease in the number
of persons employed since July 1, is
20 per cent. Conservatively estimated,
this means that there are $4,000 fac
tory employees out of work in Wiscon-
sin at the present time. This figure
does not include the number of per-
sons unemployed in other industries,
such as building construction, railroad
construction, mining and the various
branches of trade.
All metal working industries show
ed further decreases in the number
of persons employed in December. The
number of persons employed in auto
mobile factories in the state was only
one-fourth as great in December as
in July Machinery manufacturing is
another metal industry seriously af-
fected.
The woodworking industry especial
ly sawmills and planning mills also
shows large decrease in the number
employed. This is also true for the
milk products and chemical groups.
On the other hand, the number of
employees in meat packing and in rail-
road repair shops remained about the
same.

bills involved in the legislature pro-
gram of Gov. Blaine, as announced by
his message, will be ready for intro
ductiOn.
A new procedure will be followed on
taxation bills before the legislature

A band of Yaqui Indians has re-
sumed the warpath and Tuesday kill
ed three Mexican cowboys and looted
a ranch at Cruz Piedras, eight miles
south of Guamas, Sonora, according
to official advices reaching the Ari-
