TWOHY BROS. GIVEN
 CONTRACT ID PAVE
 .ON WEST M 'DOWELL

Twohy Bros, road contractos, were awarded the contract for con- structing nearly mile of Portland concrete cement paving on West McDowell road by members of the commission yesterday. The vote was unanimous for awarding the contract to Twohy Bros.
 Work on the improvement is to be started immediately, 1t is expected, as all equipment for carrying on the work is now on the ground. The stretch extends from Central avenue on the east to Eleventh avenue on the west.
 Twohy Bros have only recently completed the paving of McDowell road from Eleventh avenue west for a distance of several miles. 1 Their bid on the Mcdowell road paving job was entered last week, a second bid from Dan La Roe also being received. It was the first instance where the firm has bid on city paving.
 Two bids for the city garbage dis posal contract were received at yes- terday's meeting. Opening of bids for this work precipitated long dis
 cussion in the commission meeting, interpolated with a protest from Harry L. Hurley against the award ing of any contract at this time MT. Hurley, WHO IOTIlcTly HSio ehc SoA : bage disposal contract, requested that the case be postponed for a
 reasonable time until actual bona Hide competitive bidding might be had and that the call for bids. to-
 gether with the form of proposal and | specification be so modified as to provide that the successful bidder might have some reasonable time be- | tween the time when he is notified 1 that he has been awarded the con- 1 tract and the time when he is noti- flied that he will have to start worR in the fulfillment of his contract. E City Manager V. A. Thompson ex- l plained that MT. Hurley had offered Inc objection heretofore and that ne
 Hurley, was not acting in good faith
 The matter was referred to the city
 manager for consideration.
 Bids for garbage. disposal were re.
 ceived yesterday from Holmes ano

CITY RECEIVES [
 BIDS FUR S465,000
 MUNICIPAL BONDS

Three bids for s465. 900 worth of municipal bonds were received yes terday when members of the city commission opened bids for the six issues voted by taxpayers last May. Final action on the bids was deferred until this afternoon when an ad journed session of the commission will be held.
 Receipt of fourth bid is expected this morning. E. H. Rollins & Sons of Denver notified the city several days ago that it had entered bid for the bonds. It asked that no bid had been opened. It was for this reason that members of the commis- sion deferred action yesterday.
 Only one of the three bidding com panies offered par for the bonds and the bid of that firm stipulated that a sum of s1S.600 be allowed their fiscal agent. In other words, as of ficials explained, the net proceeds to the city would be 96, instead of par, as the bid appears on its face.
 The International Trust company of Denver and the Harris Trust and Savings bank of Chicago entered a I$1O,625.50- for acting as broker. fur nishing the blank bonds and for se- curing purchaser for the bonds. They kagree to sell the bonds, but do not stipulate any figure whatsoever. The Mercantile Trust company of St. Louis, Mo, by the Phoenix Ma 1 tional bank, it's fiscal agent, bid | $96140 and accrued interest to date of delivery for each s1,000 bond. Stacy Brau and company of Chi cago and. Bosworth Chanute and company of Denver bid par and ac- crued interest from the date of said bonds to delivery, but stipulated that B. D.. Mcconnell act as fiscal agent and receive sum equivalent to | per cent of the part value of saie 1 bonds.
 Prior to the opening of bids, ar ordinance was introduced to correct a clerical error appearing in the original bond ordinance. This ordi- nance directed the city manager tc insert in each of the several issues oi bonds authorized by ordinance 46S and approved at the special election
 of May 27, 1921, a recital stating thu
 purpose for which said issue is made
 All save one of the bids received yesterday were for all six issues, in cluding the S70,000 -armory site ana 1 building issue. The other issues are
 S175 900 supplemental Verde watel bonds; $100,000 Cave Creek fioo'
 control bonds; s20.000 police sigma
 and alarm system; s40,0o0 for pur chase of park site and S60,00 paving bonds.

NEARLY ALL STATE
 VISITED BY RAINS

Local showers. from light to heavy. have been so well distributed over the grazing areas of the district that nearly all ranges have been benefited and the condition of stock improved. Photographic and mail reports to the weather bureau office at Phoenix bear the same story of encourage ment. The local character of the showers is accountable for a contin- ued shortage in the supply of stock water in many places while in others the supply is sufficient for some weeks to come. The observer at Flagstaff reports that while general conditions are good, except for lack of stock water, some small areas in various directions are still dry and that sections east of Flagstaff and i between there and the Little Colo
 rado river have not been wet yet. i Heavy showers occurred during the week at Douglas, Prescott, Se- l ligman and Williams and both range and stock at the places named are showing improvement. Round-ups have begun on the northeastern
 plateau. The water supply on the l Salt River drainage area has i'm proved and stock are reported as be-
 ing fair to good.
 l Dry-land and irrigated crops have been favored by the weather for the week Cotton is looking well in both the Salt River and Yuma valleys. In 1.-the latter absence of rain was par lticuIarly favorable for threshing al lfalfa seed which is said to have ar exceedingly good color. Repair work on canals broken by the recent higf
 water in the Colorado was rushed and no lands suffered from lack oi
 water.
 Potatoes, oats and wheat in the
 Flagstaff section have made excel
 lent progress since. recent rains.

SCOTTSDALE

Several of the fstrmers in this district have reported damage caused by small ants to their peach crop The ants crawl up the tree and be- gin eating into the half ripe peach near the bud end until they have a hole large enough to crawl in and after this much damage is done the birds usually finish the work It is estimated that ants have destroyed as much as 50 per cent of the fruit on some of the trees they have at tackled. The trouble was brought to the attention of Vocational Argicul- tural Agent Sandige, who advised painting band of tanglefoot around the tree about two inches wide. This would prevent the ants from climbing the tree and also protect the tree from other climbing insect pests. he says.

 Miss Virginia Davis. deputy clerk of the court, was somewhat flabber- gasted when two express wagons loaded with 13 crates of rock sam ples made their appearance. She sent out on S. O. S. for H. M. Alex ander, custodian of the state house, who gave the exhibit the once over and injected quite a bit of pep into his remarks which were in keeping with the weather. Armed with a rule, he measured spaces, declaring that the exhibits could not get in the ele- vator nor the doors.
 Tt is rather unwieldy," agreed Miss Davis.

ADVICE
Curvature OF Spine.

Curvature OF Spine.
I have a girl il years old who
has curve in her spine caused by
an illness she had about four years
ago. She doesn't suffer any pain
from Il. only she doesn't seem strong
and catches such hard colds. which
last so long. Can her spine be
Strengthened and If so. how?
The amount Of Strengthening
which might be obtained in your
little girls spine would depend upon
the degree OF curvature. and
whether the curve is functional or
organic.
An organic or structural curve is
one in which bony changes have
taken place. while a functional
curve is postural.
Those curves in which there is
bony deformitory are. Of course,
much harder to deal with than those
which are simply postural. but even
In structural curves much correc-
tion can often be obtained
The best treatment for curvature
OF the spine is that given by those
doctors who make a speciality of
orthOpedics. I am sure your family
physician win be glad to recommend
one in the city nearest to you.
