MRS. TURPIN NOW
 SHOWS IMPROVEMENT

The good news came yesterday that Mrs. Jimmie Turpin, who was oper- ated on for peritonitis two weeks ago in Phoenix is still improving. Yes terday, it is reported, was supposed to be her worst day, but instead she seemed better than at any other time since the operation.
 Mir. Turpin's sister, Mrs. Richard son, of Winslow, came up from Phoenix on Monday on her way home. She said that while their family phy- sician still believed there was no chance of Mrs. Turpin's recovery, Dr. Palmer, who performed the operation, was as hopeful as at first, though the latter admitted that only one or two patients in hundred recover.
 This was Dr. Palmer's first opera tion on woman for peritonitis, though he had previously operated on two men. Mrs. Turpin's recovery will add laurels to the many he al- ready has won. Mrs. Turpin's little baby, only two weeks old when it's mother went under the knife, is taken in to see her every day by MT. Turpin.

LIVESTOCK AND
 RANGES IN ARIZONA

Weather conditions during the week as reported to the Weather Bureau, have produced but little change in the welfare of stock or the condition of ranges.
 Light to moderate amounts of rain- fall ocurred in the north-central sec tion of the district but as that por- tion of the range was already in fair condition no marked change has fol- lowed. No rain of importance has oc- cured in the southern part of the dis trict since the week ending April 9th and as consequence pastures are ex- tremely poor and losses of stock be- come more serious. The observer at Flagstaff reports that there has been no run-of from the last two storms and that stock water is becoming scarce even in sections where pasture is good. In the Flagstaff and Pine dale sections only are ranges said to be good. Stock on both sides of the Grand Canyon are said to be in poor condition. Sheep on summer ranges are responding slowly to better feed. Shearing is now in progress in the north but owing to the poor condition
 
 of sheep during large part of the year feeces are not up to standard in quality nor weight.
 Crop Progress in Arizona
 Soil moisture in the Flagstaff sec ton is adequate for agricultural pur- poses until the coming of summer rains. North and east of that section the soil is dry and badly in need of rain. In the southern half of the state farming conditions are most dis couraging but better conditions are hoped for with the coming of the rainy season. Vegetation in the irrigated sections of the state was of low growth owing to unusual cold nights, the average deficiency in temperature in the Salt River and Yuma valleys being about 60 per day. Arizona ap- ricots are finding a ready sale in Cali fornia, Colorado, New Mexico and Texas.

TOURISTS START TRAVEL
 EARLY THIS YEAR.

The first "crop" of auto travellers has been forwarded to Fred Browning secretary of the Chamber of Com merce by the National Park-to- Park Highway Association. The list re- ceived contains the names of fifty per sons who have written to the execu- tive offices in Denver for guide and other road information.
 There is the assurance that many other lists will follow this one, as an evidence of the associations policy actually to direct a greater volume of tourist business thru this community.
 One thousand inquiries have been received within sixty days by the as- sociation, which has sent each inquirer a road guide leaflet mentioning this and other towns on the highway. Mileage between places is given in a simple and unusual manner.
 Whether the tourist will Ginger a little longer" than he anticipated de- pends on how effectively the side trips and points of general interest are brought to his attention beforehand.
 Gus Holms, secretary manager of the association, in preparing the in- quiry lists also urges each town to mail its own literature, thereby inter- esting the prospective road traveller and his family to stay awhile in com munities that make the most sincere appeal for their temporary residence.
 The inquiries come from virtually all parts of the East, South and Mid dle West, and the local commercial organization is asked to send its available literature, or otherwise com- municate with the prospective travel CTS.

OLD TRAILS BUILDING
 GOING AHEAD FAST

That the building of the National Old Trails between here and Bellemont is going ahead in fine shape was the verdict of the county highway com mission, which met here Tuesday af- ternoon, then inspected the work done and being done. All five members of the commission were present: M. l. Powers, T. A. Riordan, and Walter Durham, of Flagstaff, and F. O. Pol son and Ben Sweetwood, of Williams.
 The spring work began on April 20 The grading is now coming this way from Riordan and the camp will be moved to about three miles west of Flagstaff in few days. The surfac- ing crew will arrive from Mohave county the first of next week. There are now nearly a hundred men work ing on the job, and when the grading crew is added there will be many more.
 The work west of here comprises sections a and b. Some of the work was done last fall, and the total cost to date is about $70,00O. The new road will be built right to the city line, and probably will be completed month after next. The state road forces, who are doing the work, will also grade and surface Ash Fork hill and three miles of the Old Trails east from the Flagstaff east city line be- fore leaving this part of the state, these other projects also being a part of the uncompleted federal aid pro- gram.

out with part of the committee and looked the proposed encampment site over. He said it is just right for the purpose, and he is enthusiastically for Flagstaff as the place for next years state encampment, and believes there is good chance to get the divisional encampment here too. He will take Lieutenant Colonel H. A. Hanigan, in spector-instructor for the national guard of the state, out to look at the site within a few weeks, and believes that he, also, will endorse it.
 The attempt to bring the encamp- ment here is philosophical. It will mean a great deal to the town. The prompt manner in which the commit tee has taken up the job is commend able. The boys themselves will like it here much better than in some torrid part of the state or division.
 It is possible that Battery "A", if agreeable to the members, can get permission to go into encampment here this fall and be right at home, instead of going to Fl Paso. There is considerable sentiment in favor of encamping here, and it may be work ed out.

USED SNAKES TO R0UT FOE
Mean Trick on King Eumenss of Peruamus.

When Hannibal was about to be at- tackled by King Eumenes of Pergamus at sea, that crafty person decided that In . fair fight the king would win. The enemy had more ships and more men, and Hannibal and all his follow CTS would be at the bottom of the sea If any attempt were made by him to engage the vessels of the king as in- dividual units. Hannibal therefore gave out word that all his ships were to join in an attack on the ship car rying the king, on the theory that with out a leader the enemy would soon be demoralized. To find out what ship the king was on he sent a mes- senger just before the battle with a tablet to the enemy's fleet. The mes senger was directed to the ship bear ing Eumenes. and all of Hannibars fleet had merely to watch the little boat to identify the kings vessel.
 When the battle began Hnniba's boat rushed to the side of Eumenes' ship, and the formers sailors began to hurl great earthenware pots into the kings boat. The defenders of the ship at first laughed at this queer method of warfare. but their laughter promptly changed to howls of- terror when 1t was discovered that the pots were filled with poisonous snakes of the most deadly variety. The ship turned and fled for shore, its decks alive with the hissing, gliding snaases. The other ships also treated to snake bombs followed suit, and Hannibal was the victor.

THIS LITTLE TELLER
 SOME LITTLE TALLER

Professor Avdalas, palmist and philosopher, native of India, arrived here last week, and is staying at the home of Mrs. Gum, on Leroux street. The professor is highly educated man and carries with him, as an al- most inseparable companion, a tiny marmoset, a little animal that looks like cross between a monkey and a squirrel, which is all the rage among fashionable Parisians just now. The professor acquired yhe marmoset in South America, while he and his par ty were travelling overland through the jungles of Peru. It had just fal- len from tree. It has the falling habit. Recently, in Pittsburgh, it fell from a two-story window, and in Mil waukee from a fve-story window.

 Theatre Party
 Surfeited with literary programs, the members of the Shakespeare club took a night off and at Miss Costigan's kindly suggestion and invitation, wit messed the performance Monday night at the Orpheum. 'The Rockies Re turn" quite repaid them for any ef- fort they may have made and the un- usual attendance demonstrated that every once in while change is ap- preciated in the way of real, live humorous situations, such as they en- joyed that night. The club is on the eve of adjourning until fall, one more social evening being the only out standing meeting. This will be an event of next week and in all proba- lity will be a picnic. The attractive program for next year will also be published soon.
 Welcome Members
 One of the finest of socials from a real social standpoint was that of last Friday night at the Presbyterian church. Some seventy members were to be welcomed and an old fashioned get-to-gether meeting was in order. A program of vocal, instrumental and orchestral music interspersed with readings made an interesting hour. Later the various families were "herded" together. We found the Smiths and Jones as we'll as the John sons hobnobbing with John D. Rock erfellows, and Vanderbilts; the Wash ingtons and Lafayettes visiting with the Hardings, while Henry the 9th sat peacefully by entertaining his six wives.
 Bill Hohenzollern could find no one with whom he could associate and so disgustedly changed his name. The Kitchen" family beautifully served the most delectable of refreshments and afterwards said family gave an original limerick, the judges award ing the prize to the "Kitchen" family.
 Everyone says this social tops them all. A hundred or more friends en- joyed the evening and unanimously vote for another.

Cinderella in Flower Land

Sindereila m Flower Land
 At the Orpheum yesterday we had a treat we'll long remember. Miss Clara Davis, instructor of music in Emerson school, gave an operetta-- | Cinderella in Flower Land-and this in measure showed her work among the primary grades for the past school year. We happen to know just how happy and delighted the participants were, showing children long not only to be dramatic but to express it be- fore their elders as well. The entire operetta was timefully sweet and the solos and choruses were exceptionally we'll rendered. One has to take unto consideration that our school children have had little opportunity to assem- ble for such work as the old assembly room has been a minus quantity for several years. May there be many more similar performances in the years to come!
 Below are the program and char acters: Cinderella-Daisy... ,Velma Rudd Proud Sisters-Hollyhock and

troops will be kept on the Rhine until
the fare-up between the allies and
Germany over reparations is settled
according to best information here
today.
President Harding had planned to
call the American army of occupation
out of Germany at once upon assum-
ing office but the existing situation, it
is understood, makes this inadvisable
at present, that a withdrawal now
might be resented by the allies.
There is no intention, however, of
permitting the American troops to
participate in the occupation of ad-
ditional German territory.
The situation in Europe is regarded
here as one of the reasons for the de-
lay in summoning the extra session
of congress. Another is that Hard
ing's policies on various domestic is
sues are still underlined even in his
own mind, condition which woulC

FOR
MEXICO IS URGED
ON Ne " PRESIDENT
By Ralph H. Turner
nited Press staff COrrespondent

Washington, Mar. 9-Early recog-
milton of the Obregon government in
Mexico has been recommended
strongly to President Harding by Ell
mer Dover, his personal representa-
tive in conveying a message to the
Mexican president.
1t also was learned today that
Harding, on the day of his inaugura-
ton, received Manuel Vargas, Obre-
gon's representative in this country.
Vargas was presented by Dover, an
old political friend of Harding's and
reported to be the Presidents choice
for chairman of the Republican Ma
tional Committee. Vargas conveyed
to Harding letter from Obregon,
response to the Harding message
which Dover delivered to the Mexl-
can executive last January.
By this interchange of messages,
containing expressions of good will
from the Presidents of the two re-
publics, the preliminatries have been
concluded and the road is open to ne
gotiations which should lead to Amer
lean recognition of Mexico, in Dow

CARRIED AS ADAM,
TWO YOUNG MEN
HAILED TO COURT

One clad in an undershirt and the
other in a collar and smile, two
young white men were hailed into
