 PRESCOTT AS 4
 SCHOOL LOCALE
Executive Assures Rotary Club He Is Aware of Cultural Ad- vantages of Prescott in Con- nection With Training Center
tFrom Saturdays DaHy)

Governor Campbell at noon yes- terday, told the Rotary club he would recommend Prescott as the site for the federal vocational train ing center.
 There were two reasons for this, the executive said, one being the feeling he had for Prescott as an i'm portant center of culture and the other was for the location and eli matic advantages of this place. A high degree of culture had always been found here, the governor de clared. Prescott'S advantage in this respect dated from the time when the states white population was very limited in number and was com posed chiefly of trekkers on the OK team trails. At that time Prescott became the territorial capital and the headquarters for the department of the Colorado under the army These two centers brought to the city a class of highly trained persons who have left a tradition of citizenship which has been maintained ever since, and which is manifest in the organization to which the speaker was addressing his remarks.
 Governor Campbell forecast his re- tirement to private life (providing the people of this state will be will ling to dispense with his services) when he spoke of his ambition to re- turn to Prescott ill a capacity that will permit him to become mem Der of the Rotary club. Mir. Heap, the president, who had introduced From" as a son who had gone forth and made good, assured the gover nor that he would be taken to the bosom of the Rotary club as its first honorary member.

WHY EDITOR LEFT TOWN

Zeik Librick sent the editor of the Pokeville Enterprise a few bottles of home brew. The same day the editor received for publication the notice, of an auction sale and the announce lnent of wedding. Here's the way the stories appeared ill the paper:
 'Hintz FeIton and Millie Johnson were disposed of at public auction three miles east of Erastus, behind a beautiful cluster of roses on her breast and two white calves of crepe de chine, before a background of farming implements and other things too numerous to mention, in the presence of about 70 invited guests. The guests were as follows: Six milk cows, 24 dainty hogs, six mules and an ensilage cutter. The Rev. Fisher tied the nuptial knot with 240 feet of good hay rope, after which the bridal couple left on a brand new 1921 model John Deere cultivator with terms to suit the pur- chasers. They will be at home to their friends with one good baby buggy and a few kitchen utensils after one year from the date of sale to responsible parties and some 30 chickens. '-The Magazine of Fun.

Bowling will soon hold the center of the stage-or the alleys-at the Yavapai club, it was announced yes terday by Manager H. Byrnes. Plans are being matched for several real series Of tournaments, beginning the first of October and continuing through the fall and winter. With this dark secret under his cap, Man ager Byrnes has seen to it that the alleys will be in shape. They have been gone over by competent work men, and the work of putting them into trim for the season will be wound up by the application of a finish of varnish. Steel-wool has al- ready been applied to such good eff feet that the surfaces of the alleys resemble that of a mirror.
 Chairman Joe Morgan of the clubs sports committee has intimated that the journeys will see some dark horses brought into the light this year.

 But one political reward was his; the office of state examiner was turned over to him by Governor Campbell two years ago and he worked at it until he had expended so much of his failing strength that he was obliged to return to Prescott and resume the less exacting duties of his publication.
 Mr. Powers was the second inn portant republican leader to be lost to his party within the past year, the first having been Allan B.

COPPER SIGNS
 WILL BE USED
Automobile Club Takes to Jack Greenway's Idea of Producing Another Useful Field for Ari- zonas Metal
0ournal-Miner Capital Bureau)

PHOENIX, Sept 20-Copper road signs will be used instead of steel ones throughout Arizona if plans now under consideration by Col John C. Greenwsy and the Automo- bile Club of Arizona are carried to fruition. Ever since the campaign to Buy Something Made of Cop per" was started, officers of the as sociation have taken a deep interest ill suggestions offered calling for the use of copper instead of steel, not only for road signs but for automo- bile license plates as well.
 Handsome and durable copper road signs have been received by the clubs headquarters as the first pro ducts of the big copper plant at Ajo. The chief objection, and one which remains to be overcome is that of cost The value of the metal in these signs alone is such as to at tract the eye of the itinerant junk man, and it is feared that such signs would not stay put for any great duration of time, however well they might wear.
 Colonel Greenway's experts are now working out the problem of how to manufacture a road sign out of copper, or possibly some alloy of copper which will be slightly, dur able and at the same time inexpen- sive. If such a sign can be pro duced at cost not greatly in excess of that which is charged for enamel ed steel signs, it will be hailed with appreciation and doubtless adopted for official use by the Automobile Club of Arizona.
 And if these signs prove practical in Arizona, it is thought that the type will be adopted in other states, thus opening up new use for cop per which will be a long step for ward in the campaign to widen the market for the red metal. The field is unlimited, and taken into consid eration with the possibility of cop per's use in the manufacture of license number plates will mean much for the future of the copper industry in Arizona, it is predicted.

Powers had lived in Prescott, but for a short stay in Phoenix, for about ten years. He had built up Yavapai magazine into power for publicity; mo writer who has ever pursued his work in this section, had d better grasp of the mining business or knew better how to extend the fame of this great mineral belt beyond the confines of the state.

Cattle Market

KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS, Sept 19.-All markets reported lib eral supplies of cattle today. Chi cago had 24,0OO, the largest run of the season. Here 3O,000 arrived. Best cattle held steady and the plain med ium and common kinds were Is to 25 cents lower. Hogs were in moderate supply with demand active at 10 to Is cents higher prices Sheep and lambs held steady with demand act i've Heary rain delayed the early trade ill all divisions.
 Today's Receipts
 Receipts today were 30,000 cattle, 1 6,5OO hogs, and 15,O0O sheep, com pared with 3O,000 cattle, coco hogs, and 5000 sheep a week ago, and 32,- 15O cattle, 7,95O hogs and 15,5O0 sheep a year ago.
 Beef Cattle
 With liberal runs of cattle at all western markets and a heavy rain here trade ill cattle opened slowly. Killers were fairly anxious for the good fat steers offered and finally brought the other classes Is to 25 cents under last weeks close or steady with a week ago. General demand for grass cattle was active, after the decline had been establish ed. Among the early sales were win tered summer grazed steers, $7.50 and $7.75, weighty fed steers up to $S.65, and yearlings up to $9.25, No strict 1y prime fed steers in any weights was offered. Cows and heifers held steady. Veal calves were steady to I25 cents lower.
 Stockers and Feeders
 Trade in stockers and feeders de- veloped fairly large volume. More ccuntrymen were here than a week ago, and the close clearance among traders last week brought good de mand from that source. Prices were generally steady, exceptions OH kinds just suited, slightly higher.
 Hogs
 Active demand from both shippers and packers set hog prices up to 10 to Is cents. The top price was $8.45 and bulk of sales $7.75 to $8.45. Pigs sold ups to $8.5O. The market is 25 to 5 cents above the low point last week and indications are that unless supplies increase the market will hold firm.
 Sheep and Lambs
 Both sheep and lambs were quoted steady to 25 cents lower. Most ot the offerings however, were wet and lower prices were offset by increased weight. Most of the good western lambs sold at S9.5O to $9.9O, and na- tive lambs up to $9.25. Feeding lambs are quoted at $6.5O to $7.OO.
 Horses and Mules
 Demand for horses and mules IS improving slowly.

JEROME TOUR IS TAKEN BY
 THE EXECUTIVE
Governor and Jimmy Douglas Meet and Wave Greetings on the Costly" 32-Mile Shortline Road; Old Conditions Recalled
(From saturday's panyl

NtTOm SaIurQay 8 DaIlyD 'H'E.f'
 James s. Douglas, critic, and Thomas E. Campbell, advocate, oi the Prescott Jerome road, each used that thoroughfare yesterday.
 Their cars met and passed near the summit of Mingus trail, and there was exchanged a courteous great southwestern wave of the guberna- torial and the millionaire right hands. No words were spoken, however, for the simple reason that MT. Douglas was bent upon arriving quickly and comfortably at Jerome and Bob Byrns, who was host to the gover- nor's party, intent upon making it back to Prescott. So, the contro- very-if it can be so dignified-over the cost of the road, was not alluded to. Eh''''
 Governor Campbell remembered every detail about the road, and its distant parent, the old freight trail up Yaeger canyon. He pointed out to a foot where the low standard work of the last Hunt administra- ton ceased and the wider, better built highway of the succeeding gen eration of road builders met and joined. He recalled spots where the old 45-90 had spoken the doom of the elusive deer. In Jerome, where the party stopped half an hour, the gov ernor spoke to a large number Of Johns and Franks and Dams whom he had known when that favored village was his home town.
 With the governor were Harry Welch, secretary of the Phoenix chamber of commerce. and Claud D. Jones of the Phoenix High school whose eyes were opened to new scenic beauty and new highway ex- cellence, and D. L. Gustin, formerly an attache of the executive office and now contact agent for the vet erans' bureau, who was here to meet Assistant Director Milligan and Major Grant.
 Upon the return of the party, the governor stopped at the office of Colonel R. H. Stanley at Whipple Barracks and met Messrs. Milligan. and Grant and proceeded with them and others to the business ill hand, which was the settlement of the loca- ion of the proposed federal training center.
 MT. Welch Speaks
 Harry Welch, secretary of the Phoenix chamber of commerce, was called upon by the suspicious Harry Heap to explain why he was here md when he was going to get out Of he city. MT. Welch responded with sample of his usual courteous Eng ish. He told of the work Phoenix lad done to quiet the ambitions of others when Prescott was striving to nave Whipple Barracks rehabilitated, md assured the club that his visit lere was to add the prefix "agri" to he cultural things sought. A school il Salt River valley, he said, where hree or four hundred ex-soldiers night be taught agriculture, was loped for, and it was his task to in lite the visiting officials to see the alley and consider its claims. <. As,i or the university type training cen CT, MT. Welch said, Phoenix was for Prescott on this.
 Mr. Heap acknowledged the atti- udc of Phoenix and assured Mir Velch that all was well, he could | emain. and he had better come up i lore frequently to loaf around here 1stead of merely dropping ill at are intervals when business called. |
