URGE PHOEN|C|ANS ID SEND MAIL ID
 POSTOFF|CE EARLY

Reasons why the Phoenix business man and others should get their mail to the postoffice early are contained in a bulletin issued recently by s. J. Nicholson. postmaster. and distrib- uted generally throughout the city The bulletin. when explains the mailing situation in this city in a brief but comprehensive manner, fol- lows:
 The importance of early mailings was demonstrated by a recent count at the Phoenix postoffice. which showed that two-thirds of the out going letters received were mailed after D. m.
 Since the mails for Northern Ari- zona close at 5:10 p. m. and those for Southarn Arizona, California and the northwestern states close at 5 4o' D. m. a very large per cent of the mail is delayed 12 hours because it is not received in time to make the proper connections. This is espec- ially true of the mail that is held by business men until the close of the day.
 '.As these are very important con- nections. a special trip to the post office or a mail box. prior to D. m.. is well worth while; for if there are frequent mailings during the day in- stead of the bulk being held until evening this delay would be avoided with the consequent advantages: "(a) Business would be expedited through an earlier dispatch. some tire day in the delivery of one en- tire day in the delivery of the mail at destination.
 -(b) Congestion of work in the post office at night is reduced. thereby lessening the possibility of delay. "tc) Mailing during the morning and early afternoon clears the way for more expeditions handling and dispatch of the important evening mails.
 We are closing our mails out al l the last possible moment, but as the 1 efficiency of the mail service depends 1 to a large extent on the hours ol | mailing. it is not Surprising that a | little study of your connections will expedite the dispatch and delivery ol your mail very materially Try it.

c. H. Sawyer. tester for the Pima County Cow Testing club. reports some splendid records in May for some of the individual cows in the club. A total of $50 cows were tested for the month, IT of which produced over 40 pounds of fat. The highest production of fat was 67.9 pounds, made by a COW belonging to M. F. Knapp. This is equivalent to S4.S pounds of so per cent butter.
 The May report shows a decided increase in production over that of April The highest fat production for April was 57.1 pounds and only 10 cows made over 40 pounds of fat for that month. This demonstrates clearly the influence of a COW test ing association in increasing produc- tion.
 The production of milk and fat for the cows producing over 40 pounds of fat for the month is herewith given.
 Mir. Sawyer reports that all the members are very much interested in the production of their cows. J. s.

PH0EN|X- OWNED
 PAVING PLANT E URGED BY MAYOR
Believes Time Has Come For City To Pave Own Streets Says Cost Not Great As Savings Are Considered

Members of the city commission and the mayor are all working for reduced paving costs and whatever dlrrerences may have arisen among mem concern only the means of att tanning this end. This was brought out yesterday in interviews with Mayor Willis H. Plunket and City Commissioner Fred O. Adams. Pro- ceedings at the commission meeting last Wednesday showed there existed adherence of opinion concerning the advisability of continuing the ques- tionnaire cards sent out to owners of property where paving is being considered.
 Mayor Plunkett voted In favor of continuing the card system while all the commissioners voted against it After the meeting Commissioner Adams said he had intended voting in favor of the cards but misunderstood the wording of the motion.
 In explaining his position Mayor Plunkett gave the following state- ment to the Arizona Republican:
 Mayor Gives Statenren*
 The question of paving costs is of most vital importance to the property holders of this city. It is a matter in which taxpayers in general should interest themselves, for under the 1919 act the city pledges it's machin- cry and power in the collection of paving assessments as they fall duo, and If said assessments are not paid promptly, then the city must bid in the property and pay the bond hold CTS without delay. In order to do this the money for such purposes must come from the general fund and con- 6eQuent1y deflecfed in the amount o1 taxes to be levied
 The commission has been informed that bonds issued under the 1912 ac, are no longer saleable and that the 1919 act must be followed, otherwise no bids for paving will be received In view of this concession of adapting the proceedings of the 1919 act and taking on this contingent liability O1 having to cucumber the general fund in the event that the paving company does not secure bidders when delin- quent property becomes subject tt sale, l myself, expected to see very substantial reduction in paving bids It has been estimated that there is approximately one million dollars worth of paving now under consid- eration, hence it becomes matter oi great moment to every taxpayer oi the city and to every property holder to be assessed for these improve ments.
 Fully realizing the great respon- sibflity resting upon the entire com mission I urged that the property holder be given an opportunity to ex- press himself after being given ar official estimate of what the per from

WHAT THEY DO WITH BONUS

What do e1-service men do with
their bonus money received from the
various states?
Some persons opposed to handing
out cash TO the men either by the
states or nation. give as their greatest
argument that the beneficiaries will
squander the money foolishly as soon
a. they get 1t.
But the experience of the Wells
Dickey Trust company of Minneapolis
which firm has been instrumental in
advancing s2,26y 600 TO ex-service men
through special arrangement with the
bonus board, completely oyerturns this
conjecture. Figures just complied by
the cashier Of the trust company show
that of the 1924 claims handled by
the bank for Minneapolis men. 10 per
cent Of the men increased their own
accounts and 26 per cent opened saw
