MAY GET AID FUNDS Prospects that tha federal com compensation - pensation compensation for the fanners in the non-cotton zone will be available before the end of January were brightened yesterday upon receipt of a telegram from Senator Hayden and Congressman Douglas in Wash Washington, - ington, Washington, D. C., advising that the compensation bill had passed its heariifg before the appropriations committee. The telegram was ad addressed - dressed addressed to G. C. Spilsbury, general manager of the Roosevelt Hay Growers, who was a member of the comm t. ee that went to Washington last spring to secure compensation from congress. The telegram announced that the hearing on compensation for the non-cotton zone was held and that the item will probably be included either in a defiency bill which, it is an icipated, will become law by January 15. or will be included in special appropriation resolution. All arrangements have been made for immediate payment as soon as the appropriation is passed by botn houses, it stated. Every effort to have matter expedited it being made by the solons. Payment of the compensation is not dependent on any action to be taken by the State, P. G. Spilsbur> president of the Arizona Industrial Congress. The Industrial congress headed the organization of a group of interests throughout the state that guaranteed Arizona's share in the compensation. The guarantee was furnished to meet an es imated requirement of $1,000,000 for com compensation - pensation compensation for the 1930 non-cotton zone. To Advance Money Under terms of the bargain made with the United States department of agriculture, the federal govern government - ment government is advancing the entire amount necessary to pay compen compensation. - sation. compensation. with the understanding that the state will repay one-half of the compensation before December. 1932. Those in close touch with the situation are of the opinion that the full $1,000,000 will not be re required - quired required to meet this year's compen compensation. - sation. compensation. Sidney Smith. Mesa, representing the department of agriculture in the cotton pink bollworm eradica eradication - tion eradication and compensation work, said that the members of the commis commission - sion commission who held the hearings on the compensation, were not permitted to disclose the total amount requir required - ed required for payment. He believed, however, that ar arrangments - rangments arrangments could be made so that the money could be turned over to the farmers awarded it as soon as the bill carrying the appropriation became a law. Credit Group Helps Many farmers in the non-cotton zone have been financed through the credit organization formed on the southside to care for their im immediate - mediate immediate wants until the compen compensation - sation compensation money could be secured Soivhside firms have been accept accepting - ing accepting the certificates of the associa association - tion association in payment of bills for the past mon'h. It is learned that by ar arrangment - rangment arrangment government compensa compensation - tion compensation checks to farmers, who have availed themselves of the certifi certificate - cate certificate relief will be sent to the credit association as trustee, so that these certificates may be immediately retired. ''These certificates were based on an average price of 8 cents per pound for short staple, 20 cents per pound for long staple and S2O per ton 'for cotton seed." P. G. Spils Spilsbury - bury Spilsbury said. "On this basis, I feel sure that even though a farmer has drawn all he could on certificates, he will still have money coming when the compensation is settled. When the appropriation is passed it will release a large sum of ready money, which is vitally needed by the farmer of the non-cotton zone."

TO SETTLE DISPUTE ON GIEA RIVER After various meetings in the de department - partment department of the Interior between officials of the governmnt, repre representatives - sentatives representatives of the Indians and of the upper Gila river irrigation districts, a tentative plan has been worked out that will avoid the necessiy of further litigation and will result in the prserving of the equities of the upper water users and at the same time those of the Pima Indians, , (.wording to informa ion received here by government officials. The tentative plan workd out. in the confernce with the secretary of interior provides for the pro protection - tection protection of water-users in the Saf Safford - ford Safford and other irrigation districts in Arizona and New Mexico above the San Carlos dam who had placed under irrigation and cultivation their lands before the date of the San Carlos act of 1924. It was also agreed upon that if at some future time storag on the upper Gila river should become feasible for the benefit of the lands in that district, no objection would be made by the departmnt provid provided - ed provided the utilization of the water should not interfere with the pies piesent - ent piesent proposd arrangment or wish the rights of the San Carlos project water-users. Consideration was taken at the conference) of the hearing being conductd by Capt. Edward A Smith, special United States attorney, to determine the Gila river water irri irrigation - gation irrigation rights of Indians residing on the Saca s on Indian reservation. Un Until - til Until these and other legal difficulties are settled on definite plan will be made although the basis for the tentative plan will be taken from the results of the recent meetings in Washington, D. C., it was said. The information received here from the secretary of the interior briefly explains this plan. It says in part: "The tentative plan is to prepare and incorporat in a decree to be entered in the pending law suit, a provision to the effect that the prior rights of the Pima Indians and of white settlers under the San Carlos project, shall attach to and be first satisfied out of the flood waters stored in the resrvoir that unless and until the storage is pro provided - vided provided on the upper river, the irri irrigation - gation irrigation districts around Safford shall be entitled to continue the diversion and use of waters trom the flow of the Gila river to the extent that such use was being en enjoyed - joyed enjoyed in 1924 when the San Carlos dam was authorized by congress, or such other date as may be agreed upon; all of this to subject however, to the condition that if in any year there is not sufficient water in the Coolidge reservoir to satisfy' the priorities of the Indian and white lands having priorities in the San Carlo? project, the prio priorities - rities priorities of the Indians and whites lands shall be entitled to be satis satisfied - fied satisfied out of the naruai flow of the Gila river." rect, according to Dr. Oscar C. Bart Bartlett, - lett, Bartlett, s ate entomologist. "The commission in co operation with representatives of the bureau of plant quarantine and control of the United States department of agriculture, has worked out a plan," Dr. Bartlett said, "but official action depends upon its legality. We have submitted our plans to the state attorney general and future action depends upon what he tells us can be done." o Habit the Cable-Tow Habit has been well described as a cable, weaving only a thread at a time, but at last so strong that it cannot easily be broken.

World Pays Tribute at Shrine of Bobby Burns Many places have been "made" by the genius of a great writer. Scott has done more for the tourist agen agencies - cies agencies and the railways of England than any of his countrymen, be because - cause because his range was so wide. He discovered the Trossaehs and Bocli Katrine, and even made the Peak of Derbyshire world famous. But there are no more hallowed spots than those which dot the Burns country. The country town of Ayr lies in the center of a fine sandy coast, with wonderful sea view across the , great firth. There is no house in 1 the kingdom, no palace or castle or great mansion, that has half the at- j 1 traction for the world as the little i thatched biggin at Alloway where Robert Burns was born. In its visitors' book are inscribed the names of men and women famous - in literature, art and statecraft, ! the names of peers and peasants . and of kings, all come to worship at the shrine of genius. Close by is the Auld Brig o' Doon, leaping in a single gray and grace- ; ful span the little stream whose name has gone round the world. Close by, too, is the haunted kirk, where Tam o' Shanter saw witches ; and warlocks holding revelry in its j, churchyard. In the town itself can still be seen the Auld Brig of Ayr, the theme of one of his finest poems, whilst the river Ayr is for- j' ever associated with the ode. Twins in Oass Mean Trouble for Teacher "Twins," complained the young teacher; "they're more trouble! It's fun for them, hut for us - " There were Evelyn and Elinor, for instance, small twins, whose great similarity was the despair of the young kindergarten teacher. If only their mother would dress them differently or put some distin- j guishing mark on them! Should she ask them in the morning which was which and put labels on them? Or what should she do? They were adorable, blue-eyed, fair chil children - dren children with soft, light hair. If only } the hair of one were straight and j j the other curly! But, no; even j j their ringlets were exactly alike, j i What should she do? ; One morning they came to school and, O, joy! One had a tooth out. right in the middle of her upper jaw! The teacher ascertained that ithe lacking tooth was from Elinor's set of pearls. Now her problem was j solved and when she looked at El- ; inor and called her by name Ll- I inor, and not Evelyn, would answer. , j One less worry she rejoiced. But the next morning when they : appeared each child was minus a ! tooth and each gap was in I the middle of the upper jaw. - New | York Sun.

MEXICAN PAT PATENTS - ENTS PATENTS SYNTHE SYNTHETIC - TIC SYNTHETIC RUBBER Mexico City' - A Mexican. Julio Tellez Giron, who resides in San | Francisco.

Firstly he resort resorted. - ed. resorted. like Edison, to plant of various kinds, paying particular attention to those of the resiniferous family'. Somehow' he had the thought that by experimenting with redns of oily substances rubber could event eventually - ually eventually be produced. From the vege vegetable - table vegetable kingdom, he passed to the realm of minerals, and tnere is said to have found what lie sought - a substitute for rubber. His formula, as registered with the department of industrial pio piopertv - pertv piopertv of the ministry of industry and commerce, details a process for the manufacture of a rubber substitute through ihe combination of demineralized and revitalized oils. According to a description made by the inventor in his formal ap- , plication for a patent, the process is as folow's: "Transparent mineral oils, of an adequate density, after being de demineralized - mineralized demineralized and revitalized, are nrxed in adequate proportions of suipiiur or chloride of sulphur and oxide of magnesia. The proportions varying according to the degree of hardness wished for the rubber substitute. If sulphur is used the mixture must be heated for a iongj time during the mixing process.: If sulphur chloride is employed mixing will require only a few bines with oil very quickly, with-1 out needing external heat for its reaction. "After the mixing process is over the product is heated, pressed and molded in order to give it any de desired - sired desired shape." Commercial manufacture of the j rubber substitute inventd by Senor Giron has not yet begun in Mexico, j Thus it is not possible to indicate, for the present, whether this new j product is destined to revolutionize the rubber industry or to become just another interesting achieve achievemen - ment achievemen - without practical value. Senor Giron, according to his le legal - gal legal representative here, has gone to the United States to buy ma- j chinery with which to equip a fac factory - tory factory in this capital.

That Mouse Ear Theory Long before phenology became a science, farmers discovered the ad vancement of the native vegetation in the spring furnished reliable guides to the best time for sow ing and planting crops. One old | fashioned rule, probably derived i from the Indians, was that coni should be planted when the leaf of the white oak was "the size of I a mouse's ear." Several traditional ! rules of this kind are current amon-: farmers, and one of the tasks of the phenologists is to check them up on the basis of actual statis TICS.
