PLAN FOR CUTTING ASPHALT

Through Material.

Asphalt Is usually shipped in tin
barrels. The metal is stripped off and
the asphalt rolled up to the stopping
board; the wire shown, attached to
the winding drum, is passed over and
around the asphalt to piece Of pipe
under ecd ahead of the stop board.
When the drum is turned It tightens
up on the wire and causes It to cut
through the asphalt. Kerosene is
poured on the wire to make It pass
through the asphalt easily.
The barrel shape is first cut In half.

We are doing well in acquiring and
building roads at present, and our

A car should always be started in

A cause of engine noise sometimes

SAD AFFAIR

Miss Thelma Ruiz, beautiful daughter of MT. and Mrs. Juan Apodaca was drowned while in bathing in the Lyman canal last Monday afternoon.
 Miss Ruiz accompanied by two of her girl friends, Miss Patten and another girl were all in bath ing together and Miss Ruiz, who could not swim got out where the water was to deep and com menced to strangle and call for help the girls who were with her tried to get to her to render as- sistance but as they could not swim they were unable to give her any assistance. An elderly lady who was present sitting on the bank called to some men who were near by at work to come
 
 and help the girl out, but they seeminhly did not understand for they made no effort to come and help. Some men who were quite a distance away 'ieard the screams of the girls and hasten ed to the scene, but Thelma had sunk beneath the water and it was some fifteen or twenty minutes before they succeeded in finding her body.
 Every effort was used t o try and bring her back all the known methods were put into eff feet but were of no avail.
 The body was brought to St. Johns for burial and funeral ser vices were conducted from the Catholic church with Father Derichmont directing. After the funeral services were over the remains were taken to the Eastside cemedtry for interment.
 A large crowd of relatives and sorrowing friends followed the remains ito their last resting place.
 Miss Ruiz was a charming girl and had many friends who are mourning over her sad ending.
 The HERALD joins the sorrow ing throng in offering condolence to the grief stricken parents and relatives.

THE SUBSTANTIAL CITIZEN

The American home is he cor ner stone of the nation. It pro- notes the stability of the family, stimulates the love of our coun- try, and is the best safeguard of law and order in society.
 Few people like living in hotels and apartment houses or eat in a restaurant in preference to the enjoyments of a home, but many do so because of barriers of one kind and another which stand in the way of the home.
 Building costs are more than off set by high rents being charged. Home building today is business the same as banking and any energetic man can fin ance home through a long time loan if he Wishes.
 The ownership of a bit of real estate is a fine thing from every point of view. It gives the hold CT standing and a self respect he would not otherwise have. Ii promotes business confidence in him and makes him one of the substantial upstanding pillars of the community.
 Begin it today. Own your owr home. Get in line to be the soliG citizen of tomorrow,

Alma Davis. who has been up in Idaho visiting with friends and relatives for the past month
 returned home last week. Alma says that he had a splendid trip and fine visit with his kin folks who were all pleased to see him and tried in every way to show him a good time. He met with
 many people who formerly lived in St. Johns and all of them seem ed to have a warm spot in their hearts for the people here and said that they would like to come back hele on a visit and some thought that they would like to come hack to live. Alma says that his visit proved to him that there were many places that were not as good to live in as old St, Johns, with all her draw backs. and he says that he did not see any place that he would have traded his holdings here for. The range up there is very dry and burning up this year and also many of the dry land crops and some of the irrigated farm are short of water, because of the older rights using all the water. It is the opinion of MT. Davis that if anyone isltired of the place in which they are living it would be we'll to take.a trip and see if it doee not cure them of being dissatisfied. He claims that there are a great many more poor peo- pie in other places than you can find here according to population,
