EXCELLENT CROPS AHEAD
Threshing started in the valley last
week, and tic in now until the middle
or la f icr part of July, Yuma valley
v ill be a'-cut tie* busiest place in
"ie entire state. Big crops of al
falfa are promised all over the val
ley and farmers are jubilant over the
general crop conditions and the big
yield they promise
The r* al < state men believe that
v.iili such sp>ndid crops, farm
ing land wil 1 be in great demand this!
summer and that they will be able to j
offer l etter inducements than ever
before to farmers and homeseekers.
A'J daring the winter inquiries came
■ißo the real estate offices from dif
ferent parts of the country. People
were anxious to know something of
the Yuma valley and its wonderful
possibilities and its inducements for
Eastern farmers to locate here.
There were many sales of from 30
to 40 acres and a large number of
160-acre tracts, purchased for invest-,
men£ and speculation purposes.— j

1 J ELECTION NOTES.
“The final date for the filing of
initiative petitions is midnight of
July 2,’ said Secretary of State S. P
Osborn Monday. “They must be filed
in this office by that time and cannot
be received by mail the next, day,
says the Arizona Gazette.
Secretary Osborn is about to issue
bids for 6,000 publicity pamphlets,
containing the title and text of all
measures to be initiated and those
laws against which referendums have
been filed
These, pamphlets may also contain
arguments for and against each of
the matters to be submitted. The
pamphlets will show how they will
appear on the ballot and will give
voters an opportunity to study them.
Early in Juiy a call for the state
primary, to be held Sept. 8, will be
made.
The number of signatures neces
sary to insure the submission of a
proposition under the powers of the
initiative or referendum is as fol
lows: Constitutional amendment,
3243; statute, 2162: referendum, 1091.
The constitutional amendment fig
ures represent 15 per cent of the to
tal vote cast for all candidates for
governor at the last election, the stat-j
ute 10 per cent, and referendum 5 pel!
cent. The total vote cast for gov- j
ernor at the last election was 21,615.
Tlie election of the county boards j
of supervisors will proceed in the j
usual manner this fa 1,1 according to j
an opinion rendered by Attor- 1
ney General G. P. Bullard to Secre- j
tray of State S. P. Osborn.
The law states that each county j
shall be divided into three supervisor
districts the first Monday in Septem-1
her which this year will be Sept.. 7.!
and that afterwards each district
select a member. Since the primary
falls on Sept. 8, it appears there, is
not time enough to carry out the j
proposed plan and that the three j
supervisors in each county will be |
chosen by the county as a whole and j
not by districts this year.
CONVERSION OF A SKEPTIC
Once there was a skeptic. This
skeptic was a merchant. He did not
believe in advertising. It happened
that at one time he needed a night
watchman. He supposed reliabl
night-watchmen were plentiful. As;
a matter of fact they are rarer than
dividends. None of the merchant’s
acquaintances professed any anxiety
to assume the place, so he was forced
to advertise in the“ Want” column
of a local newspaper that his estab
lishment needed a night-watchman, j
He did not believe this advertise
ment would bring the desired re- j
suits. He was right. But the fol
lowing morning he found that his
store had been burglarized during
the night. ‘‘Surely, he reflected, ‘‘if
burglars are responding so readily to
advertising, perhaps the law-abiding
classes are influenced by it. Hence
forth I shall advertise my wares.
—American Bulletin.
NEW RULING
The legend, “(fuaranteed Under the
Hood and Drugs act, is found to be
n Jsleading and deceptive, and the j
us of a serial number on food and
drugs' is prohibited after May 1, 1915,
by a food inspection decision signed
Maj 5, by the Secretaries of the
Treasury, Agriculture and Com
merce. The taking effect of the
new regulation is postponed until
'lay 1, 1915, in order to give the:
manufacturers an opportunity to use
ip their present stock of labels.
After May 1* 1915, guaranties of
compliance with the law should be
given by manufacturers directly to
dealers and should be incorporated
in the invoice or bill of sale specify
ing the goods covered. This guaran
tee should not appear on the lael or
package of the product.
Arizona is in need of a Billy Sun
day. This big-hearted preacher, who
at one time was a famous hail player,
became converted and today is the
most marvelous expounder of the
teachings of Christ that lives. He
has no knowledge of theology and
needs none. His secret is that he is I
extremely human and he teaches the
religion of Christ as the savior of tlie
world. He is doing more for the up
lift of humanity than all the big sal
aried preachers in America. —

SOME GOOD EATING.
Here is the* ideal summer dessert.
Peach Sherbet. —Put a pound of
sugar and a quart of water on to boil
twenty minutes, let cool, then add one
and a half cupfuls of peach pulp, the
strained juice of an orange, and the
juice of half a lemon. Freeze.
A Novel Sponge Cake. —The ingredi
ents for this cake are four eggs, a cup
of sugar and a cup of flour. Beat the
whites very dry and fold in the sugar,
a quarter of a cup at a time. Add
the yolks one at a time, cutting and
folding them in, adding so lightly that
the whites will be streaked with yel
low. Gut the flour into the mixture in
the same way and bake in a slow oven
in a buttered pan. Do not stir to re
move the streaks, for it will spoil the
texture of the cake.
Grilled Chicken and Mushrooms.—
Any pieces of cold chicken will serve
for this dish. Sprinkle the pieces with
red pepper and salt, brush with melted
butter and toss in fine bread crumbs.
Place in a hot oven, cut the stalks
from half a pint of mushrooms, place
them in a saucepan with two table
spoonfuls of butter, a dust of mace,
pepper, salt, a squeeze of lemon juice,
a quarter of a cup of stock or water
and a tablespoonful of flour. Cook
gently for five minutes, then pour on
to small pieces of toast. Prepare the
chicken and serve around the toast.
Serve hot.
Bacon, Toast and Tomatoes,—Cook
very thin slices of bacon until crisp,
place on narrow strips of toasted
bread. Cook tomatoes in the hot fat
and serve with the toast and bacon.
Cucumbers With Brown Sauce.—
Peel three or four medium sized cu
cumbers sliced in halves lengthwise
then in halves crosswise. Scrape out
the seeds, season each with salt and
pepper, and roll in Hour; saute in hot
drippings' until well browned, drain,
place in a saucepan and cover with
brown stock, simmer until tender. Ar
range on toast and pour the sauce
over.
Raspberry jam spread between tlie
layers of a plain cake and the top
covered with whipped cream, makes
a delicious cake to eat fresh.

Church and State.
There is a very emphatic provision
in the constitution of the United States
against any union of church and state
in this nation. Article 1, amendment
1, reads as follows: “Congress shall
make no law respecting an establish
ment of religion, or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof; or abridging the
freedom of speech, or of the press, or
the right of the people peaceably to
assemble, and to petition the govern
ment for redress of grievances.” Un
cle Sam has his own religion and he is
willing for everybody else to have
theirs, but he will not enter into co
partnership with any religion.—Chica

WAS NOT HIS TIME TO DIE
Captain’s Marvelous Escape From
Death When Swept Overboard
During Tremendous Gale.
Few living men have ever looked
death so square in the face as acer
tain Captain Hodsou, who was for
years connected with the customs
service at Honolulu. Before that he
was a shipmaster, and the remark
able adventure of which he was the
hero occurred while he was in com
mand of a schooner that traded in the
Pacific.
On this occasion, the vessel was
several days out from land in the
midst of the ocean, when it was over
taken by a severe gale and thick
weather. For a time Captain Hodson
tried to keep the schooner’s head up
into the wind, hut the storm became
so violent that there was nothing for
it but to run before the gale. He
brought the vessel about, and, pur
sued by a heavy following sea, they
scudded under almost bare poles to
the northward.
The captain himself stood by the
wheel, to give the helmsman direc- ,
tions; the rest of the crew, having
made everything as secure as possi
ble, were crouched in the lee of the j
deck-house.
A flaw in the wind took the schoon
er aback for a moment, and in that
instant a tremendous wave that was
following close behind mounted over
the bulwarks, and swept several feet j
deep from stern to bow.
Every one but the captain had
something at hand to cling to, al
though the wave wrenched the man at
the wheel from his hold, and threw
him on his face. However, he brought
up against the deck-house, and scram
bled to his feet just in time to see
the rushing water carry Captain Hod
son overboard.
Hodson's case w T as as nearly hope- j
less as it could well be, for it was. !
of course, quite impossible to put out
a boat in such a sea, or even to bring
the schooner about to pick him up. \
But at the very moment that the i
catastrophe happened, the ropes that j
held the gaff of the foremast in place j
broke, and let the stick drop to the j
deck. One end bung out over the i
side of the schooner, and several 1
broken ropes dangled from It. As Cap
tain llodsop swept by, these rope ends
struck him on the head. Instinctive
ly ho seized one of them, and clung
to it with desperation.
The schooner tore on through the ,
water, and her master, at the end of
the dangling rope, was drawn in close ;
under her bulwarks, and dragged ;
along through the waves. He could j
not have long withstood this sort of j
treatment, for the sea beat him about j
fiercely, and flung him again and.
'again against the side of the vessel. 1
But presently a gust of wind lurch :
ed the schooner well over; her lee !
rail plunged beneath the water, and j
at the same Instant another wave |
picked the captain up, and tossed him j
sprawling on the sloping deck. Bat
tered as he was, he had enough
strength left to seize the standing rig* j
ging and cling to it, while the water i
poured hack again into the sea.
The helmsman had seen Captain j
Hodson swept away to death, as he
firmly believed, and his astonishment
at seeing him back again on deck I
may be imagined! Hodson was not ’
seriously Injured by his experience,
and his vessel weathered the storm,
and brought her cargo safe into port j
