DEALERS VOTE
LIQUOR SALES
TO CONTINUE
Sheriff's Plan to Aid
War Effort Fails AS
Compromise Reached

Sheriff James Herron's plan un-
der which Pinal county liquor
dealers would voluntarily discon-
time the sale of liquor on Sundays
as a contribution to the war ef-
fort won't down to defeat at a
special meeting Of Pinal county re-
tail liquor dealers in Coolidge
Tuesday afternoon.
Instead of the Sunday ban on
liquor sales the dealers adopted
a compromise program pledging
themselves to close each night at
II o'clock except Saturdays, when
the regular ! a. m. closing time
would be observed. The dealers
also pledged themselves to strict
ly observe that section of the
state liquor law which forbids sale
of intoXicants to persons already
under the influence of liquor.
Attending the meeting Tuesday
were representatives of 81 of the
county's 81 liquor dealers.
Keynoting the opposition of
powerful liquor interests Scottie
&Audlilo, NlCt' ~ ColuCll VI lnC oldtO
retail liquor dealers association
and chairman of the Maricopa
county dealers declared he did not
want to see the plan of Sheriff
Heron carried into effect because
he did not want "to see move
ment started that can't be stop
ped"
First speaker at the meeting
Tuesday was Sheriff Heron who
briefly outlined his reasons for
starting the closing movement as
he declared liquor dealers in Ray,
Superior, Tiger, and Florence
Junction were 100 per cent behind
his plan and cited employment rec
ords at Superior and Tiger which
showed practically every man back
on the job Monday morning after
the first Sundays operation in con-
trast to hundreds of men off on
proceeding Mondays.
Following the Sheriff's talk he
was asked to leave the room that
dealers attending the n Getting
might feel more free to express
themselves.
Universally dealers from the
mining communities expressed sat
/ isfaCtion with the plan with the
first notes of opposition coming
from f. A. Peters who operates
the Chuck Wagon, miles east OF
Florence, and Bob Edwards who
has package license south of
Eloy.
Employment records of Magma
Copper Company of Superior were
cited by e. G. DentZer, general
manager of that company who de-
clared the number of men absent
from work Monday morning drop
ped from 7S the 21st to 48 last
Monday while absentees on the
21st at Tiger totaled 4S against
last Monday.
It was at this point in the
proceedings that Francis Ames,
state president of the retail
liquor dealers association discov-
cred a reporter in the back of
the hall and requeted Carr Nc

, from the room.

Secretary Of Agriculture Claude r.
Wickard has announced 1913 ma
tional wheat acreage allotment of S.
100000 acres, the minimum under the
law. but asked growers TO plant part
Of the acreage in other needed crops.
Wickard said because Of a prospec-
tive wheat supply this year of nearly
/ 400 100000 bushels that a smaller
crop next year will be needed. The
prospective supply includes an esti-
mated 1912 crop Of S46 100000 bushels
and carryover of 100000, 900 bushels.
In areas where wheat produces
more feed grain per acre than other
crops, however, farmers will be en-
couraged to plant their fall allotment"
Wickard said. These growers will be
urged to use wheat as livestock feed
America will go into the 1913 crop
year with approximately a two-years
wheat supply" Wickard said. "Conse-
quently. even with relatively low yields,
the 5000 OO0-acre allotment will re-
suit in supplies well above any prob
able emergency"
Domestic food requirements Of 5OO,-

FBI Head Worms

FBI Director j. Edgar Hoover

period last year.
Novel Schemes Reported.
FBI head said shoplifters and
pe.Cy crooks are resorting this year
to various novel schemes and
devices. In one case called to the
attention Of the FBI couple used
q small boy, dressed to appear even
younger than he was, as an accom-
phce. While the man and woman
made purchases in fashionable shops
ene boy stuffed expensive furs and
articles into a drum fitted with a
Salse head.
Mr.. Hoover also warned the public
against thieves and confidence men
masquerading as Federal agents or
Army officers. Recently man rep
resented himself to farmers of a
Southern State as a Government
agent selling chicken powder which
he urged customers to sprinkle on
their fowls to produce better food
for the Army.
Uniformed Fleecers.
Mr.. Hoover said that there have
been many instances reported to the
FBI Of unscrupulous persons making
use Of military or naval uniforms to
fleece unsuSpecting merchants.
Recently, he revealed, a man

Ing station wagon to resemble an
official car had passed many fraud
ulent checks in clothing stores, fill
ing stations and other business es-
tablishments throughout the East
and South.
