Prosperity For St. Johns
 Agriculturally.

Twenty-Five to forty farmers, farming lands along the Little Colorado river in Apache county will plant small tracts to sugar beets this spring.
 It has been known by local farmers for years that sugar beets succeed under local condi- tiOns.
 Representatives of sugar com panies and state federal agencies are cooperating with the farmers, furnishing pure seed FREE, and bulletins directing planting and culture of the crop. Samples will be taken from each tract and tested. Should the test prove that beets for sugar production can be grown successfully, a re- fin cry will be established here.
 Representatives of the R. R. have expressed their opinion to the effect that line will be build ed, following the fertile valley of the Little Colorado, in the event that the sugar industry with it's possibilities, proves successful.

Mesa, Arizona, Jan. IS, 1921


 Benjamin Noble died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Mamie Clark, in Mesa, Sunday afternoon and his funeral will be held at the Second Ward Chapel tomorrow at 2 o'clock. He was seventy-tWo years old at the time of his death and has been an invalid during the last four years of his life. Some years ago a horse kicked him and broke his leg and he never recovered fully from this injury. His wife died some years after the injury and he has lived with his children since that time, being at the home of his oldest daughter, Mrs, Mamie Clark, most of the time.
 Benjamin Noble was a native of Davis county, Utah and he came to Apache county among the early settlers and located at Nutrioso where he was the first bishop, having his brother Ed ward as Q neighboring bishop in Alpine. He was also one of the
 
 original High Council of the St. Johns Stake when it was organ ized in July, 1887. Bishop Noble. like his brother, was fond of good horses and was known among local people for his fondness of wagon racing with which sport his brother was also enamored. Mir, Noble left Apache county in the later eighties and moved to Utah but some time after, he came to the Salt River Valley. His home was at Lehi for number of years and then he came to Mesa and engaged in the furni- ture business.
 MT. Noble has raised a very ex- ceIlent family. His daughter, Mamie, is stake president of the Relief Society here. His only living son, Joseph, is a leader in all military matters in Maricopa county and one of the public pros ecutors. while four, married daughters, LQelIa Davis, Lottie King, Alice Jones and Myrtle Riggs live in this vicinity and Airs. Irene Rowan is the wife of President Rowan of the Garfield Stake in South Central Utah.

Paris, June 19.--The Carpentier Dempsey fight, in the opinion of Gaston Vidal. under secretary of state for physical culture and sports, will develop into the bittcrest battle ever staged between heavyweights. French newspaper which were belit- ting Dempsey's record and profess sing to believe that the fight would be a walkover for Carpenter. he said were rendering their champion poor support.
 There is no doubt that Dempsey is one of the greatest fighting ma chimes ever seen in the prize ring" NJ. Vidal continued. "But so is Car pentier. And, without prejudice to Dempsey's sharpness of brain. I feel safe in saying that Carpenter is the quicker thinker. Thus, everything being even physically between two perfect fighting machines, the vic tory must revert to the man whose brain will propcl his muscles without the slightest delay after seeing m opening. l think that man ,is Car pcntier."
