ALIEN PROPERTY

Rushed Thru House At
High Speed

WASHINGTON Dec. 26. -- Amid
charges that the administration plan
for the return of alien property taken
during the war with Germany is pri-
marily designed to aid insurance com
panies whose claims are given prefer
ence, the house sent to the senate the
bill proposed by the administration
"Confiseation."
In addition to charges that insur-
ance companies will benefit to the ex-
tent of many millions of dollars, and
that other interests, such as the Stand
ard Oil company, the International
Harvester company, the Singer Sew
ing Machine company, will be the
principal benefciaries of the plan it
was charged as the bill was being
showed thru at pace that astounded
most members that its provisions
legalize confscation on a wholesale
scale. The principal provision OBJ
jected to was the one Withholding 20
per cent of the money due German
and Austrian citizens as security for
the payment of money due Americans
from the German and Austrian gov
ernments.
This disgraceful act of ours will
come home to plague us for genera

Many object.
Objections to the bill because of the
preference it gives insurance compa-
mics and corporations were made by
number of members, including Rep
.resentative Wefald, Of Minnesota, and
Representative La Guardia, Of New
York.

The virtues of the lemon have been
somewhat obscured in recent years by
the unusua, advertising accorded to
the merits of the grape fruit and the
orange. No doubt the tributes to the
latter member of the citrus family are
well-merited because of its delightful
flavor. sweetness and richness in vita
mines.
The lemon, on the other hand, has
had to overcome the disadvantages of
a sour and acrid flavor which does
not appeal to as many persons as the
sweeter taste Of the orange. The
ridicule unfortunately associated with
the name lemon" since the time when
1t occurred to a not too brilliant come
dian to connect 1t with a gesture in
dicating disdain has not aided its
favor.
Astute manufacturers of cosmetics
have not overlooked natural inter-
est in this unusual fruit, and have pre-
pared all sorts of substances for use
on the skin and the hair, claiming for
them special virtues because they con-
tain the juice Of the lemon. Unfor-

Radio in Polar Regions

The Macmillan expedition to the
polar regions had radio for its only
means of communication. Using low
power and short wave lengths, the
Bowdoin communicated with several
stations in the United States while
the ship was frozen in thousands of
miles away. Broadcasting concerts
from the United States stations were
heard during the long, dark nights
of the Arctic zone. The cal! letters
were WNP, the slogan was Wireless
North Pole, and the power was about
500 watts.

Figures on Future
World Population

Sir George II. Knibbs gives different
estimates of the possible population
Of the world, ranging from 2,942, 00O,-
000-if the worlds existing population
increased in ratio of o. r. Bakers es-
innate of possible increase in the Unit
ed States agricultural area-tO 9,792,-
0O0,000-if all existing arabic land in
the world could support three persons
per acre-and final maximum of b.
440,000,000 if an average of a person
per two and One-half acres applied to
the whole land surface of the world.
Assuming that the present standard
of living is retained, together with the
present national prejudices and ego
isms, Sir George considers it doubtful
whether the population will ever reach
the 5,000,0OO,000 limit. If man better
co-ordinates his effort so as to involve
less expense in nOnprOductiye effort,
then possibly the advance of science
may enable the 7,000,000,000 limit to
be reached.

A pony ridden by Ray Shoaf, thir-

youngster says, his pony fell and he
Jumped off. He went to get help,
thinking that the pony had tripped,

ARIZONA HAS BUT FIFTEEN
PROHIBITION AGENTS IN STATE

Arizona, with 100000 square miles
of plain and mountain, is one of the
most difficult fields for proper atten-
tion by prohibition officers, yet in or
binary times is covered by a force of
Is men.
This force now is five men short
and no appointments are to made for
80 days to come, while the field al
lowance per man has been cut to $40
month, under instructions received
from Col. r. E. Firth, head of the
southwestern enforcement division.
This is in accordance with orders
from Washington, where funds are
reported lacking.
In this emergency, according to ;.
e. Kent, retiring deputy administra-
tor, more reliance must be put upon
county officers and the state laws,
expected to deal with the petty cases
that now cumber the federal court
records.
Suggestion is made of an amend
ment to the state law making posses
sion of LIQUOR misdemeanor. Nearly
all the prohibition work in Arizona,
according to Mr.. Kent, is "small
stuff with few large manufactures
captured and with little smuggling
save on a small scale. Yet, mainly
in fines for violation of the prohibi-
tiorf laws, the United States court for
the northern Arizona district collect
ed $35,670 in fines during the past
fiscal year.

ACTIVE FALL PREDICTED
FOR ARIZONA BUSINESS

| Though characterized by seasonal
dullness in some lines, business held
a very fair level for July. Improve
ment over the past several years was
reported especially noticeable in the
northern part of the state, and the
"See Arizona" movement had added
materially to tourist travel On the
whole an active fall is Indicated
Agricultural conditions have con-
tinued generally favorable. The states
farm acreage this season is larger
than in any previous year, due in
large part to new lands brought in
| by irrigation, and with rapid progress
made on the several new projects
now under way further increase may
be expected each year. Department
| of agriculture estimates give ten ma
jor field crops a combined acreage OF
| $4,000 against 100000 last year.
Cantaloupe movement ended early in
August with total shipments Of 5000
cars.
Range conditions have been very
we'll maintained by summer rains,
and prospects for feed and water are
| favorable Cattle movement the first
| half of the year totaled 126,500 head
shipped outside the state. Wool pro-
duction is expected to be about the
same as the 1925 clip, estimated at
| 6,400,000 pounds.
| An advance Of half a cent a pound
in the copper market was the princi-
pal development in mining. Produc-
| ton in the state is practically un-
! changed from last year, and unusual
activity continues in new develop
ment.
Total bank deposits of the state on
June 80 were $68, ,408, more than
| 81, 100000 above deposits on that date
last year, according to the report OF
| the state banking department cover
| ing the condition of both state and
national banks. Loans decreased
| more than $2,600,000, to $42,931, ,556,
| during the same period.
! Checking transactions of banks in
principal cities of the state, as report
ed to the Arizona industrial congress,
/ fell below June figures but compared
well with those for July, 1926.
| Generally excellent range conditions
have been maintained over grazing
areas Of the state. Moderate to hea-
wy rains in July came before any
| great deterioration had resulted from
/ the dry period since spring, though
sheep ranges were less favored than
other sections. On the whole outlook
for feed and water supplies is very
good.
/ Market conditions in the cattle in
dustry were little changed, the month
being between seasons for sales ac-
tivity. The fat cattle market has
been firm, at about the same price
| levels.

Grain fed cattle ruled stronger, best
light weight grassers steady and 9TH
er classes weak to a shade lower.
The first large run of grazed cattle
this year was reported and general
trade showed increased volume in
keeping with the supply.
Beef Cattle
The big movement of summer graz
ed cattle has started. 1t is already
three weeks later than usual and still
materially short Of year ago. How
ever, the trade after being Indifferent
for several weeks past, took on in
creasing volume today and it is the
general opinion that the larger runs
can be cared for easily. Grain fed
steers were in moderate supply at
strong prices. Choice steers and
heifers mixed made the top at $40.
Other light weight grain feds sold
at $3.50 to $9.85; heavies $8.85 to
S9.1O. Short fed steers sold at $8.25
to 1925; Texas cake feds $725 to
Iss.25; Kansas wintered steers $7.25
to 1926. and straight grassers $3.50
TO $7.S5. Cows and heifers were
steady to rs cents lower. Fed

calves were so cents lower, top Sill.
Stockers and Feeders
Larger receipts of stockers and
feeders than at any previous time
this year attracted increased de-
mand and prices held colse to steady
in the average. In some cases light
weight stoekers were strong. Fleshy
feeders were quoted weak.
~ Sleeps ard Lambs
Sheep and lambs sold at weak to
25 cents lower prices than late last
week though the trade maintained an
active turn. Western lambs brought
S13.75 to $1425; native lambs $12.50
