Miss Mana Sterling

\ host of judges in a contest re- gently conducted by a we'll known health magazine adjudged Miss Mana Sterling of Houston. Texas. the most perfectly formed American woman Miss Sterling. who is nineteen years old. is five feet six inches tall and weighs one hundred and thirty pounds when ready for the bath. Her bust and hips equally measure thirty eight inches. her waist twenty-six. inches, her neck thirteen inches and her calf. fourteen inches
 The statue of the Venus de Medici in the past regarded as the ideal type of womanly figure is five feet three inches in height, and depicts a type that might weigh nearly as much as Miss Sterling, but would certainly be far less strong and active. Her chest measures over four inches less than Miss Sterling's. although her hips measure only one and one-half inches less. The judges in awarding the honor to Miss Sterling maintained that if the Venus de Milo or Medici does not like our big lunged American girl athletes, it is up to the Venus to play tennis and basket ball. Miss Sterling is as strong as she is sym metrical as her balancing and gym nastic work have put the strength of an athlete into her muscles.

 'It seems to me we are not working as those who would change anything in America, but as those who would safe guard everything in America. I know you will enter into this conference with the officers of the navy in that spirit and feeling and it makes me proud, gentlemen, that busy men of America are willing to associate themselves voluntarily with the government in a task which needs all sorts of expert and serious advice. Nothing ought to be done in this by any single group of persons-everything ought to be done united together"

DATE CROP IN VALLEY
 EhTHUSED OVER BY AN
 EXPERT FRUIT GROWER
Expert from Southern California Visits Valley With View of Using Data
 Secured in Coast State

w. R. Nutting, the man who added the raisin growers of Southern Cali fornia, is an interested visitor to the valley.
 He comes here in the interest of date making a close study of their growth and market.
 MT. Nutting is one of the best posted men on the date culture in the United States. He has had thirty years eX- perience in southern California, prin- cipaIly at Fresno, with the raisin cul- ture.
 He came here last January to make an investigation of the date crop. Yes terday he spent the major portion of the day at the state date farm near Tempe as the guest of the superintendent, MT. Simmons.
 Dates. stated MT. Nutting, are going to be considered in the future one of the principal means of solving the shortage of food problem. He also thinks that for flavor and lusciousness the Arizona date cannot be eXcelled.
 As a means to increase and better the date crop of the valley, MT. Nut ting has suggested that the growers send in reports of their crops this year. In this manner, all growers may bene- fit by the mistakes of others.
 The date growers whom MT. Nutting mas visited thus far are H. A. Diehl, MT Warren of 72 West Moreland street, Roy Goodrich. who has 2500 trees, and l.. ii. Chalmers. He reported last night that tne trees and crops of these grow CTS rank with any he has seen either here or in southern California

 It is, of course, understood in this connection, that my own services as mediator are offered freely to both sides of the present unfortunate con- troversy with the welfare of the en- tire state in view. Whenever a con- ference between you and elected com mittees of your former workmen shall have been arranged, my own part in the matter will have been concluded, excepting that as Governor, 1 may continue measures for the preser- vation of order and protection of property, or give further assistance in any proper manner, when requested by either the companies, their em- ployes or the sheriff of Greenlee county.
 In conclusion, I pray you to bear in mind that, notwithstanding the false statements of irresponsible news paper publishers, who, if they were sincere in their professed alarm in behalf of the state, would refrain from expressions so untrue and inflamma- tory as to constitute a public men ace, my earnest desire to obtain ab- solute justice for all and privilege for none is an ever present factor in the problem for which your com panies conjointly with the wage earn CTS of Clifton and Morenci, must find solution.

GOLDEN DAYS

I'm glad to be living when Autumn IS giving a gingerous snap to the air; my labors I tackle with jubi- lant cackle, and pause not moment to swear. In summer a fellow feels yawny and yellow. the, heat takes the vim from his form; he's fussing and fretting, and swatting and sweating. the days are so stuIridly warm. But summer is ended and climate that s splendid, refreshing and mild. is on tap, and there's no excuse for-the world has no rSe for the languid and lndolent chap. So put on your gaiters and gf.ther the taters, and saw up some wood while you may, oh. don your goloshes and harvest the squashes, and fill up the corncrib with hay. Get busy! remember tine storms of December. the snow and the sieet and the slushi Be wise as wizard. pr epare for the blizzard. ana bank uP the house with a rush. soon winter will jump us. and then when the Jmpus of riotous weather begins, the man who got ready in cays calm and steady. will look on the tempo st with grins.

with reference to the situation in the

can use its time honorcd preemption and

The argument that the foodstuffs on
