Advance $l.OO on Wheat

Beginning this week the VoIlmer
Clearwater Company put in opera
tion a plan Whereby farmers NAV
get an advance of $1.00 on their
wheat. In case the wheat goes up,
they get the advance. If it goes
below a dollar bushel the grower
makes up the difference. The
dollar advance is in the nature of a
loan and is advanced at eight per
cent interest. Storage and lnsur-
ance stops on the wheat, which
helps to offset the interest. 1t is
believed that the plan will help to
relieve the money situation here to
some degree.

A Splendid Lecture

By far the best number of the ly-
ceum program so far this year, was
the lecture Tuesday night by Fred
G.. Bale. Many who heard it said
1t was worth more to them than the
price of a season ticket. There was
a comparatively small attendance.
as is usually the case here at
lecture, but those who went were
enthusiastic in their praise of the
speaker and the splendid message
which he delivered to them.

 After days of travelling and preach ing. Heard came upon a rancher in the north section of the valley. The rancher was a willing listener, so Heard poured out his story; he repeated 1t once and then again. He drove home every sa- iient point with the force that bespeaks a presidential candidate in action. He told the story frontward and backward argued it from every angle - almost talked himself to death. And when he had finished. he got the following reply:
 You damned fool. guess know how to run my business. You fellow: talk all right, but talk is cheap" Sc Heard took his leave. as unceremoniou: on this occasion as on hundreds oi previous occasions.

CHARGES CRUELTY
 IN DIVORCE SUIT

After filing suit in the Superior court recently asking that her husband, s. D. Rial, be compelled to convey his right and title in 20 acres of land to her, Elizabeth Rial Saturday brought suit for a decree of divorce from Rial. charging cruelty. She alleges that they were married at Thatcher in November 1911, and declares that there is no com~ inunity property. She says her hus- band began to be sull1y and surly in September, 1920, and would remain si- lent for long periods of time When he
 did speak, she alleges, he spoke in a short abusive manner, using a disre-. spectuful and insulting tone.
 About September 10, she says, he hu- initiated her greatly by causing her to appear in the office of an attorney at Mesa, where she was. informed. she says, that her husband was about to start divorce proceedings against her. Later in the same day, she says, her husband asked her to agree to a prop erty settlement, and when she refused he stated. she alleges, that he would secure the division by court action. While she was absent from home, she says, he packed up and left, after executing a chattel mortgage for $5,0o0 on her personal property without her consent or knowledge. The bank at Mesa paid him the money on the mort gage. Her husband, she says. made no provision for her support before he left

TEMPE. Oct 10-Tempe High school closed the first month of school Friday with a registration of 1SO. The total registration at the corresponding time last year was 132. With the large increase in enrolment it has been nee essary to divide classes and rearrange schedules. However. work in all oe- partments is progressing nicely and the splendid spirit of helpfulness and cooperation manifested everywhere has helped much to give us an .excel- lent start in the years work.
 There was sufficient demand this year for a class in Latin. which is be- ing taught by Hiss Scudder. New courses have been introduced in physi- cal trainiug for girls and agriculture. All girls now take 30 minutes of physi- cal training on alternate days under the direction of Miss Scribner, who is also organizing a glee club and school orchestra and is meeting with much response. Agriculture is being started under the direction of David Creighton. who s a Salt Hver valley boy recently graduated from the agri- cultural school of Illinois university. He will also handle the military drill and assist in the science department. Courses in vocational agriculture will i be planned. as there Is demand for
 
 manual training and domestic science cannot be accomplished until we get the new vocational building. School officials are especially anx- ious that parents and students realize 1 the necessity for regular and sys- tematic home work.

WILL MAKE REPORT ON PUBLIC HEALTH
 SURVEY IN G|LA CO.

T. c. Cuvellier. director of public health survey. has been called to Globe, where a public meeting will be held tomorrow night. at which time a re- port will be made of the public health survey of Gila county. covering com municable diseases, housing and sani- tation.
 The survey in Ciila county was the most thorough made in the state, ac- cording to Director Cuvellier. because of the county having the largest work ing fund in Arizona. The state board of health's allowance of s250 was sup plemented by $1200 by the people of that district.
 What action will be taken will de- pend on the report which will be sub- mitted Monday. What has already been done in an Arizona town is ex- plained in the following bulletin issued by the state board of health:
 Full credit must be given to the town of Florence for enacting city or dinances and taking other measures to provide for the proper housing of its people and the preservation of the health of the community. Following a survey by one of our survey workers, the city council of Florence passed a
