ARGUE DIAMOND
CREEK RIGHTS
by Dispatch A. ?. wirel

PRESCOTT, June 14.-Described by
plaintiffs and defendants alike as of
primary Importance in settlement of
early problems in Colorado river
rights, the Diamond creek power IL
cense case today was argued before
and submitted to Judge F. c. Jacobs
in United States district court here.
The underlying question involved is
whether the federal court has jurisdic-
/ ton over an act Of a state water com
missioner with reference to the issu,
ance of permits and licenses under the
law If the court decides that it has
jurisdiction, the case will come up for
trial probably some time next year.
The case grew out of an injunction
proceeding brought by the Arizona
High Line association asking that the
federal court cancel permit issued
by the state to James B. Grand and
the Colorado River Engineering and
Development company for construction
of dam at Diamond creek.
The case was submitted to Judge
Jacobs by an array of leading state
attorneys. The court heard the argu-
ment over a demurrer and motion to
dismiss the suit as filed by Frank P.
Trott, state water commissioner, to
the cancellation of the suit of the
High Line association, and then took
the case under advisement.
Judge Jacobs gave Trott Is days
in which to file briefs, his opponents

80 days to file their authorities, and
finally another 80 days in which Trott
may file reply briefs.

water commissioner addto to his list
of attorneys Judge Samuel White of
Phoenix, James p. Boyle and Harry

velopment company, the original per-

HAVE YOU A LITTLE
GOITRE IN YOUR FAMILY

Why take the risk of your child
developing a goitre, when ii can
be easily prevented Every boy
md every girl between the ages of
six and sixteen years should be
given iodine in proper form and
amount.
Sometimes it is given in the wa
ter supply or i'll the table salt, bat
the amount thus obtained depends
upon the amount of water or salt
used.
We know that the body requires
a certain amount of iodine. 1t is
a very simple matter to give a tab
let once a week and so supply the
proper amount needed by the
body.
In many localities this is done in
the schools, Thus every school
etild gets the required amount of
iodine each week, as a routine :;
and it is not forgotten as might be
the case if done at home.
The cost of the tablets is i'm
material as compared with the
good they do. Depending upon the
quantity bought, the cost might
be from fifty cents to a dollar a,
year. The cost to each family
would be very little; and should
not each family be willing to bear
its share when the benefits are so
pronounced.
This will prevent simple goitre
from developing and will reduce
those already developed. Simple
goitre is the form met with in
children usually.
1 repeat-every child from six
to sixteen years needs goitre tab
lets.

POULTRY NOTES

A farm without poultry Is a nnan-
clal mistake.
a turkey hen can cover from. fifteen
to twenty eggs during Incubation.
Raising geese, exclusively, would
hnrdly be found profitable. The lay
Ing season is too short. lasting only
about two months.
Without a good mash before them
all the time your hens will fall short
In egg production.
The free use OF kerosene or crude
oil on the roost and In the cracks In
your poultry house will help 10 exter-

Watch for any bad habits among

where it came from, or how You
