When a dairyman states that he can not speak too highly of the service d traile~ has rendered him. il is of direct interest to other dairymen. says C. Winfield Hartranft, distributor of Utility TraiIers. MT. Frank Reed San 6crs has made this statement regard ing the Utility Trailer which he pur chased several years ago.
 An account of what it has accom- plished for MT. Sanders follows: Used with his automobile, he has pulled cows. calves and bulls. lumber grain, large trees, wood. coal and many other items used upon his place. He states

 extent as to make it unprofitable, should cause every farmer to safeguard his interests by planting some grain and forage crops for livestock and a small acreage to cash crops
 Many farmers are planting one-half their land to cotton with the remaining one-half to miscellaneous crops, and when asked, Why don't you put your entire farm to cotton?" reply: We have after many years in the farming game learned better than to put all our eggs in one basket"
 The Better Farming" report is the outcome of four meetings held in Phoe- nix representing cotton growers, grain and livestock farmers, bankers, dairy men, creamerymen. and officials of every civic and commercial orgauiza- ton in Maricopa county. The concen- sus Of opinion of those gatherings was that the prosperous condition of Mari copa county can only be continued by a sane agricultural program looking over a period of years and that one crop plan is suicidal.
 The present favorable outlook for cotton was admitted by all the repre- sentatives but it was held by all pres ent that only one-half of any farm should be planted to cotton while the rema inder should carry alfalfa, grain, and forage crops. and cattle and hogs, thereby maintaining the fertility of the soil and insuring protection from the various blights.
 The report, as part of its fore word. says,
 Lets not be soil miners-let's not sell our birthright."

pain he suffered, called the attention
of other members of the family to

and a stomach pump to remove the
poison. The boy is naturally not
overly bright and is unable to clear

doing with the rat poison, which may

both eyes being affected by cata.

Go. Hospital Site
Being Considered
County Dads Inspect Sites
But Reserve Their De-
'cision Until Later

During the session of the county
board which reached an adjournment
Friday at noon the question of the
county hospital project, which the
voters asked for by a decisive major
ity at the June primary, came up
for consideration and prospective
sites were looked over. The property
east of the court house, the old base
ball grounds and block at the north
end of Seventh street, would each
appear to have advantages that favor
ably impressed the members of the
board, definite action as to the choice
of location being deferred until the
next meeting of the board to be held
in January. The new year gives
every promise and assurance of see-
ing this greatly needed public insti-
tuition pushed through to completion
with as little delay as possible and
no time will be lost in having plans
submitted and getting the excavating
started just as soon as the building
season opens. The out look is that
both material and labor will be cas-
ier to get in the building season of
1921 than has been experienced of
late years. Contractors though not
exactly predicting pre-war prices pre-
dict there is downward tendency in
the scale of both wages and the
prices of material and there is
little doubt but what the saving ir
the cost of the hospital will run into
the thousands Of dollars when oom-
pared with the outlay had the con,
tract been let early this fall.

T | WO Fatal Cases
Of Typhoid Fever
Mother and Son Mourned
In Home Two Deaths In
One Week

On Saturday evening the Angel of
Death for the second time in one
week entered the Grey township
home of Matt Schneider, one of the
first pioneers and prominent farmer
of that section of the county.
The visitation of death at the
Schneider home that occurred on Sat-
urday evening means the loss to the
husband of kind and loving help
mate and to the family a mother
whose influence in the home will
long be cherished memory now that
she has been called to her reward.
The death of Mrs. Schneider was
due to an attack of typoid fever,
which has been epidemic in that vi
cinity since winter set in. The illness
was of but short duration, the end
coming as terrible shock to
the neighboring friends of the be.
reaved family in their double aff1ic-
tion, but few days apart.
The death of their seventeen year
old son, Leo, also a typhoid victim
occurred during the week, funeral be-
ing held Wednesday while the mo-
ther was at the heighth of run of
fever that day or two later was
to terminate fatally.
The funeral of Mrs. Schneider
occurred Monday afternoon and was
largely attended by quite con-
course of sympathizing friends.

BEINGA SERIES OF
yro Aooyvrr ~ AVE- A~r,

!Ainsmith' $ hands. Taking in the
situation at Va glance, he hastily
turned, and made a regular foot ball
dive toward Graney, who had start
ed a feet first slide. Ainsmith
touched Graney just before he
reached the plate, and won the YER
dict on a hair line decision. 1t was
the first time I ever saw catcher
recover fly ball that fell safe, and
get runner at the plate.
The only other play that I know
of that compares with the Detroit
incident came up in game at Phila-
delphia four or five years ago. Lar
Try Laioie was playing with Phila-
delphia and Cleveland was the OPP
posing team. A recruit, Garrett.
was pitching for Cleveland. and he
won his game, S to 3. Larry was
on third base and two men out,
when Garrett cut loose with wild
pitch that struck 10 feet in front OF
the plate. Evidently Garrett
thought the catcher would be lucky
if he stopped the ball, as the mo-
ment he started his delivery he
raced toward the plate. Then came
the catcher's protector with great
force, bounded into CARROTS hands
about 10 feet from the plate, and at
the same instant he made dive for
Lajoie, getting him by a few scant
inches. 1t was one of the few
times / have ever seen the player
who made the throw get the put.
out. without anyone else actually
handling the bali.

Freak plays are far from unusual.
Something new comes up in almost
every game. Eddie Ainsmith, pep
perry catcher of the Detroit Tigers,
figured out . play last = summer
which seemed much out of the or
binary. Never have I seen a catch
er pull one exactly similar.
Cleveland was playing at Detroit.
The play involved Jack Graney of
Cleveland, Ainsmith of Detroit, and
a high fly ball The fact that Aim
smith somewhat misjudged the fly
made the play possible. Graney was
on second, two men were out, aud
the batter hit high fly directly in
front of the plate. 1t was impossi-
Bile to tell whether the ball would
go fair or foul A high wind was
blowing that made the judgment Of
such fly balls difficult Ainsmith
kept circling under the bail, while
Graney. playing proper base ball,
was tearing in from second, so that
he would have a chance to score if
the fall fell safe or was muffed By
the Detroit catcher. !
I The high wind did such stunts
with the ball that Ainsmitll failed to
get his hands on it. 1t struck the
ground about three feet in front of
him, took a reverse english and
bounded back toward Ainsmith.
About this time Graney was about
IS feet from the plate. The ball hit
the ground and then bounded into
the unusual feature. The ball struck
