Count Giuseppe Grippie. Italy's centenarian states man, died yesterday, it was an nounced , today. He was taken 111 while attending the races yesterday. The- count long had been one of the most picturesque characters among Italy's distinguished men. Born 102 . years ago, he maintained his active life up to the very last, due to his remarkable physique. The count, who for a number of years had been known as the world's oldest diplomatist, began his diplo matic career in Vienna under Metter nich, and in 1840 was appointed dip lomatic adviser to Marie Louise, ex empress of France. He was Italian ambassador to Paris under Napoleon III and served at London, Stockholm, Munich and Stuttgart, was Italian minister ai uonstanunopie ana ineu ambassador to Russia. o- REPORT PAYMENTS OF CITY TAXES MORE PHQMPTTHAN USUAL Watch low Mail Box! Something Doing Something That Will Save You Hundreds of Good American Dollars! Something That Will Put Old 66 ffl PRICE To Sleep For Ever Watch For It Ask the Mail Man For It It Should Reach You TOMORROW! City tax returns this year were be yond the average.. Payments were made very promptly, the greater part of the taxes being paid before the time extensions wwe made, accord ing to City Assessor Trevillian. May 11 marked the close of the last extension of time limit for city taxes. Assessor Trevillian estimates that about 80 per cent of the taxes have been paid. Although exact fig ures were not available, it is possi ble to obtain an idea of the taxes paid into the city from the fact that the total city assessment for 1920 was $42,840,531. ' : George Kirkland, an official in the office of the city tax collector, ex pressed the opinion that more back taxes were paid into the city this year than ever before in the history or the office. "For some unknown reason people or Phoenix seemed willing and .even anxious to pay their taxes as prompt ly as possible this year," he said "and the ' very satisfactory results were obtained without E.ny extra effort be ing put forth by this office to collect.". Even those who suffered temporary financial setback:? from closing of oanks in the valley found an imme diate way to meet their taxes, as all checks on suspended banks were tak en up within a few days. Failure to make payment ST tax es when due carries a 15 per cent penalty on the first installment. If the first installment is paid when the second becomes delinquent the penalty is five per cent on the sec ond Installment, but if the first in stallment is not paid when the sec ond Installment fills due an extra 5 per. cent is added to the first install ment, making a total of 20 per cent in addition to the 5 per cent against the second installment. No property has been sold by the city for .taxes since 1907. Child Employes In U. S. Show Increase Republican A. P. Leased Wire WASHINGTON. May 12. Increase in the number of child employes in the United States has been almost exactly proportionate to the increase in total population in the last eight years, according to the United States department of labor. Statistics com piled by the children's bureau show that 1 0.19 minors took out permits in twelve representative cities in the country to go to work in 1920. This compares. with 67,169 in 1913, an in crease of 13 per cent. ' . -o If aval officers are now permitted to wear civilian garments when not on duty. SMALL E ARThOUAKE STAGED cutting HIGHWAY PAVEMENT People living along the newly paved HensBaw road yesterday thought an earthquake had shaken that vicinity. Men of the engineering department of the county highway commission were cutting the road at that point to relieve the buckling w hich had thrown up one edge at an expansion Joint about two inches. The cutting was done about 20 feet back of the joint. The cutting is accomplished by boring a row of holes through the pavement across its width. These holes are made to touch each other. The boring was done from each side. The row had been completed except for a width of 22 inches in the mid die when suddenly there was a movement so violent that men who were standing on the pavement were nearly thrown from their feet. That 22-inch space was crushed, or rath er the top of it was sheared off, over a space 18 inches wide. There was an accompanying noise like a can nan shot. When the movement subsided. It Was found that the inch-and-a-half space made by the cutting had been filled by the joining of the two ends. Just before the movement one of the workmen had brushed out with his hand pieces of rock and concrete that had fallen into the crevice. It was found that the pavement had moved for 100 feet away from the cutting. This incident has shown the advisability of finishing these cuttings in the early morning hours before the expansion is at its height. It has been demonstrated that the concrete work is a great deal better than it had been supposed to be. It does not crush under the drills, which cut clean straight holes regarless of what they encounter, either cement or those hard, small, black river boulders. At one point three holes were bored through a boulder which was broken in two, each part adher ing to the cement In which it had been embedded. $5,000,000 In Gold Arrives From London Republican A. P. Leased Wire NEW YORK, May 12. A $5,000,000 gold shipment said to be the first of a series to be made by the govern ment of Great, Britain to' aid in the retirement of its B'4 per cent bonds maturing, has arrived here. Con signed to J. P. Morgan and company, fiscal agents here for the English government, the gold came yesterday aboard the steamship Mauretania. In addition to the Morgan consign ment, the Mauretania brought a $3, 000.000 gold shipment to another banking housf. The flow of gold into the United States during the last month ap proximated $50,000,000. making the total since the first of the year In excess of $231,000,000. i (National Crop Improvement Service ! I 'TPIIE methods of fanning generally JL practiced do not maintain the fertility of the soil and the practices which have been largely responsible for the decreased productivity are: "(1) Krosion or the washing away of the surface soil; (2) the depletion oi organic matter of the soil; (3) lack of a rotation or growing the same crop continuously; (4 the failure to grow a sufficient acreage of leguminous crops, to maintain the nitrogen content; (5) the depletion of the supply of mineral elements of plant food." says Prof. L. E. till in Kansas bulletin (No. 220), prepared by himself and Prof. Throck morton. A great deal of valuable information is given on how to overcome these diffi culties by the u?e of proper rotations, the restoring of the straw to the land, green manuring, barnyard manure and the ue of commercial fertilieers. Professor Call is of the opinion that commercial fertilizer should be used only when necessary to supply an ele ment of plant food that is deficient in the soil. Potassium is present in Kan sas soils in liberal quantities, he says, and may be seldom supplied in com mercial form with profit. Nitrogen may be secured from air by the use of legu minous plants. Phosphorus is the one element which is deficient in the soil and for which there is no ready source of supply. Phosphorus in the form of steamed bone-meal or acid phosphate will gen erally repay the expense in a materially increased crop. Any powdered ferti lizer may be applied to the surface by the upe of a perforated drum, as shown in the illustration. I.imr, where the soil is sour, can be profitably added in a like manner.
