'. I. w. GIVING
 AWAY A BRAND
 NEW CHEVROLET
Buckley O'Neill Post to Present Car to Pencil Buyers in Cam paign to Raise Funds for Man sion Headquarters

A brand-new Chevrolet for almost nothingl
 Thus do the members of the Buckley O'Neill post of the Veterans of Foreign Wars take up their work as automobile salesmen. But theirs is no ordinary commercial enterprise, according to statements direct from headquarters. Their object is not only to provide some deserving per son with a new car, but to raise funds for the furnishing of headquar- ters in the restored territorial man. sion.
 A quantity of pencils running into the hundreds will be disposed of by the veterans for a price, and the de- serving purchaser will be presented with the automobile. The cost of the pencils, which have been generously given to the cause by the Yavapai Savings bank, will be $1.
 In a day or two, salesmen from the Buckley O'Neill post will be wis ible on the streets of Prescott, hawk ing their wares. And the salesmen entertain not the slightest .doubt but that their wares will be snapped up with all possible speed.

TABULATE BIDS
 ON ROADS TO-DAY
Highway Commission Meets This Afternoon to Open What Is Expected to Be Largest List of Bids Ever Received
drom Wednesdays Daily)


 A tremendous amount of clerical work will be laid out in front of the Yavapai county highway commission today when possibly at least a score of bidders make offers for the con struction of the first two sections of road called for by the commission. Closely tabulated figures will be necessary to show the comparative merits of the bids. Everything will be compiled on the basis of the classifications. instituted for road work contracts by H. L. Fishel, county engineer and acting engineer for the highway commission.
 It IS believed there has never been a contract offered for which so many firms have offered bids. Rep 'resentatives of a number of Arizona and outside concerns and at least one local outfit have been busy the past few weeks looking over the plans and examining the ground in company with Fishel and members of the commission.
 The first two roads to be bid on consist of stretches between Cotton wood and Sedona and between Del Rio and Ash Fork. They total about 50 miles and are the starters for a system of highway construction that will cost $1,50O,O0O.

VOCATIONAL SCHOOL
 NOW PRACTICALLY IS
 ASSURED, FOX SAYS
nErom wednesrnv,s pailyl

Assurance of a federal board vo- cational training center in Prescott was given yesterday by Wallace M. Fox, vocational director, in a short talk to the chamber of commerce Luncheon club.
 In connection with survey now under way by Director Fox, it was brought out that there are approxi- mately 200 ex-service men dis charged from public health service hospitals living in this city, who are eligible to take up advanced voca- tional education under the federal board.
 MT. Fox stated that he had wired to Washington for the lone man necessary for the completion of the project"
 Although he stated he could not, and would not, give definite assur- ance of the establishment of fed eral board training center here, he stated he had recommended to Washington the establishment of such center, with more confidence than had accompanied any such recommendation he has made in the past two years.
 This assurance was met by the members of the Luncheon club with exceptional enthusiasm.
 The director stressed the necessity of cooperation by the business and professional men, as well as the ex- service men and their organizations. One of the pressing problems is to increase housing facilities in Pres colt. This is already beginning to be met by various business men and organizations throughout the city.
 That the establishment of a voca- tional center here would meet with a hearty response from the citizens of Prescott, and of Yavapai county, was assured by the reception accorded the remarks of MT. Fox.

DEMPSEY BACK ON 4 HARD SCHEDULE HAS
 FINE APPEARANCE
Associated Press Night wire)

ATLANTIC CITY, June 16.- After resting four days Jack Demp- sey resumed his training program to- day and boxed for the first time since the cut over his left eye was opened a week ago Sunday. He toiled 40 minutes under a blazing sun.
 After tugging at the pulleys for two rounds and shadow boxing for three, he boxed two rounds each with Irish Patsy Cline, Philadelphia lightweight, and Babe Herman, Cali fornia featherweight. Dempsey ap- peared in the ring wearing head guard with thick padding to pro tect the healing wound over his eye. Cline faced the champion for the first two rounds and was badly shaken up a couple of times although Dempsey was careful. Herman forced the champion to display the dash and speed of a much lighter man.
 The champion appeared ine splendid condition. His wind was good his speed was evident and his hitting was sharp and accurate.
 Manager Kearns said he scaled about 194 and probably would face Carpenter around the 190 mark and perhaps lower.

 AGAINST HARD BLOW
Associated Press Night wire)

MANHASSET, June 16.-Georges Carpentier permitted Joe Jeanette, negro heavyweight, to beat tattoo on his abdomen during a workout to- day. Manager Descamps explained that some fight critics had question: ed his ability to assimilate punish ment in the body and that this was the answer.
 This performance came after Geor- ges had worked four fast rounds, one each with Marcel Denis, French lightweight; Paul Journee, French heavyweight; Italian Joe Cans and Jeanette.
 Jeanette in his first appearance, worked especially hard trying to break through the Frenchman's guard. After his regular turn Jea- nette, who had been perfecting the Frenchman in defensive tactics, was recalled.
 Carpenters ring workouts were preceded by several hours of work before the movie cameramen. After lunch he received a host of visitors, including several present and former fighters. K. O. Brennan who gave Dempsey such a good fight in New York last winter, said he was great 1y impressed with the challenger.

THE
 BANE OF FARMS
 L|FE;A REMEDY
Sharlot Hall Speaks of Things to Be Hoped for as Result of Formation of Yavapai County Farm Bureau Last Week
CFlom Wednesdays DailyJ By SHARLOT M. HALL

All over the United States the farm bureau movement is growing and few organizations have reached so many everyday needs of all the people. The purpose is to study the individual needs of each region and to give the sort of help required there. It includes better systems of marketing all kinds of country pro duce and ii every part of the coun- try where it is already in operation it has developed larger markets and better prices for farm products.
 In the Salt River valley the farm bureau is said to have secured an ad- vance of $5 a ton on hay for its members and in truck and fruit growing areas the help ill marketing has often saved whole crops from loss.
 Yavapai county has needs peculiar to itself-they can only be met by the cordial working together of all its. people. Every farmer and stock man in the county should belong to this farm bureau and help to shape its development along lines that will help most.
 The federal government is back of this work all over the United States and this insures us the benefit of all the knowledge that has been gather ed by experiments elsewhere. If Georgia or Maryland or New Jer- sey experiments can help us grow better peaches, we have a chance to know it.
 If Oregon can lend us items on their new dry land high altitude all falfa that will turn some of our up- land valleys into alfalfa fields, let us be in a position to claim that knowledge.
 If the remarkable results from ex- periments with grating our wild walnut trees with large and market able varieties has reached a point where it could be made commercial ly profitable, let us be in a position to. know it and utilize it.
 . The farm bureau is designed to help in all the problems of farm and stock raising-to aid in finding bet ter methods, better stock, better markets-and most of all to help the country people of each region know each other better.
 Isolation has been the bane of country life; the farm bureau has gathered thousands of country people all over the United States into work ing groups that have regenerated life in many hitherto backward regions and speeded up prosperity is those already highly developed.
 What the accelerator is to your car the farm bureau is to country fife.
 Every farmer in Yavapai county schould become a member of the county organization which was formed in Prescott last Saturday.

NICHAN MARTIN TO BE
 BROUGHT HERE SOON
(From Wednesdays Daily

F'rom Wednesdays Daily)
 Nichan Martin will be re- sentenced to death in the su- perior court here as soon as the laws processes can bring it about, events of yesterday indi- cated.
 An order of the Arizona su- preme court, vacating the recent habeas corpus proceedings by which on the very eve of his planned hanging, the murderer of Arthur De Steunder escaped the gallows, was communicated in formally to Superior Judge John J. Sweeney yesterday morning by the attorney generals office, and Judge Sweeney was notified that the official papers in the case would be transmitted to Prescott at once.
 JuGge Sweeney leaves this morning for Kingman to preside at the trial of a case for Judge E. E. Bollinger, involving litiga- ton over the Catherine mine. He will try to be back in Prescott Monday, at which time he plans to direct the sheriff of Yavapai county to bring Martin before the court for re-sentence.
 When Martins case was first held up on appeal, and the de- cision of the superior court was upheld, the supreme court itself fixed the new date of execution for June 10. In this case, how ever, the judgment of the lower court has been taken up, and the proceedings will involve a re- passing of the sentence, which can only be done by the trial court.
 Martin was convicted in March 1920, of the murder of Arthur De Steunder the previous Oc- tober. His trial was the first to result in imposition of the death penalty in Yavapai county since the capital punishment law was restored to the statute books by the people at a general election.
 The recent proceedings for staying the execution, began with the application of Martins counsel fer writ of habeas cor pus, based on the alleged grounds that he had not been brought to a speedy trial under the meaning of the guaranties of Arizona law. Judge Joseph s. Jenckes of Phoenix sat at special session of the Pinal coun- ty court on June g and denied the writ. Counsel for Martin thereupon took an appeal upon this ruling to the supreme court. Judge Jenckes, it is understood, entered an order staying the ex- ecuticn, enabling the superin- tendent of the state penitentiary to omit the preparations begun some time back for carrying out the penalty, and the case went to the appellate court with consid- erable speed.
 According to the unofficial mo- tice received yesterday morning by Judge Sweeney, the supreme court for the third time looked over the record and considered the arguments in the Martin case and again decided, that the law had protected Martin throughout his first imprisonment, trial and subsequent preparations for death at Florence.

May Raise Pay

One effect of the consolidation, and remarkable one it IS thought, will be the possible slight raise in pay on train service and other de- partments when the main line sched- ules of wages are put in effect. After July 1, payrolls will be made up at where this feature of the clerical work will take on added im- portance by reason of the size of the forces employed. Two payrolls will have to be made out, as the New Mexico laws dictate a different pay day from those specified in Arizona.
 Second Change of Status
 The Santa Fe Prescott and Phoe- nix railway, long operated as a sep arate organization but under the gen. eral supervision of the coast depart nent of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, ceased to be so called on August 1 last when the road was with the Santa Fe coast ines, with headquarters at Los An yeles. At that time, the road became the Phoenix division" of he coast lines.
 It is understood the line from Ash Fork to Phoenix and its branches will now be operated as a unit of he Albuquerque division of the coast lines while the road from Phoenix to Cadiz, Calif., will be operated as the Arizona division of he coast lines.

TO LOSE OFFICES
 OF SANTA F
 TO W|NSLOW

Consolidation of the Phoenix di- vision and the Albuquerque and Ari- zona division of the Santa Fe coast lines yesterday was announced at the Santa Fe offices here, following re- ceipt yesterday morning of formal instructions to that effect from Coast Lines headquarters at Los Angeles. Headquarters of the new consoli- dated division will be located at Winslow. The consolidation will take effect July l.
 J. A. Jaeger, present division en- glneer, and H. C. Storey, present division superintendent, will remain here with small office force, it was stated yesterday by MT. Storey, who will be assistant superintendent of the new subdivision MT. Jaeger will remain as engineer.
 Asked whether the consolidation would cause the removal of the shops, Superintendent Storey replied that no orders had been received to indicate that it would He stated, however, that it is quite possible orders may be received further re- ducing the number of employees in the shop departments. The train dis patchers' office will remain here for the present, Superintendent Storey said.
 The office of master mechanic, in charge of the shops, will be abolish ed under the new orders, and will be replaced by the position of gen. eral foreman.
 Superintendent Storey yesterday said tine order of consolidation and reduction of the office force, con tained no instructions to reduce the yard and store forces. Nor has the present schedule of trains been af- fected, he said. There is, however, a feeling among the men that the store and yard forces will be affected sooner or later. No order to remove any of the large amount of equip ment at the yards and shops was re- ceived.
Weekly journal-miner., 1921-06-22
Reason for Order

Reason for the consolidation, ac- cording to Superintendent Storey's information, are a lack of traffic over this division at present, and a conviction among the heads of the road that move in the interests of greater economy is needful at this time.
 Shop forces and train schedules were reduced here a short time ago. The present number of men working in the large shop at present is said to number not more than 25 This force may be still further reduced. Service on the Crown King line, over which formerly were operated three trains a week, was recently re- duced to two trains, one a week to. Grown King, and one to Middleton.
 Where It Hits Most
 The chief difference at first will be found in the clerical force in the general office. Between 20 and 30 clerks now employed there will be removed to Winslow-or at least the offices will be so moved. Members of the staff who join the new con- solidated headquarters force will re- tain their seniority rights on the new 1ira
