License Charge May Develop Into a Test
 Case in City Court

c. B. Bryant, representative of. an insurance company, yesterday was re- leased from custody by the city au- thorities, when he furnished bond in the sum of $20. He was arrested Monday afternoon upon a complaint charging soliciting insurance without a license. In default of payment of a cash bond he passed the night in the county jail.
 Developments following Bryants arrest indicate that trial of the charge against him will assume the aspect of a test case. In the city court yesterday morning, request that his trial be postponed until Fri day, in order that he might have time to communicate with his home of- flee. was granted. Bryant indicated yesterday that his failure to furnish bond upon his arrest was not be- cause he couldn't, but because he wouldn't.
 Hearing of the matter will be held before City Magistrate John H. Rob inson Friday.

NEW BRIDGE IS
 TO BE PUT IN
Traffic Between Pres colt and Camp Verde Justifies Replacement
(From Wednesdays Daily)

There is going to be new bridge at Dewey.
 Traffic between Prescott and Camp Verde justifies the immediate replace ment of the ancient bridge which was destroyed in a recent freshet in the Agua Fria at that point, according to the board of supervisors. It will cost about $500 to replace the bridge, in the opinion of Chairman Midgley and Supervisor Stukey.
 Five large trucks loaded with pro duce from the Camp Verde district and destined for the Prescott market, were observed at the crossing yes terday morning, indicating the i'm portance of keeping the road open.
 A county crew is on the ground constructing a temporary crossing, and as soon as possible, the county intends replacing the ruined bridge.

Though cheerful over construction by the county of the Cottonwood Sedona road, progress on which is being made by the Prescott Con struction Engineering company, resi- dents of the Verde valley are anxious that some action be taken soon to build the proposed road to the Gila county line, according to word brought to Prescott yesterday by l.. L. Bates, president of the Yavapai County Farm Bureau and chairman of the agricultural and horticultural committee of the chamber of com merce.
 Citizens of the valley, according to Bates, are expressing the sentiment that, while they appreciate the Cot tonwood-Sedona road, they are much more interested in the road to be built from valley points to the Gila county line, understood to be pro vided for in the Yavapai million and a half dollar highway bond issue.

PREVENTING DECAY OF WOOD
Forest Products Laboratory Gives
Some Valuable Hints to Both
Builders and Architects.

The chances of infection Of timber
by Notwithstanding fungi, while 1t Is
under the care of an architect In the
structure may be greatly reduced by
following the hints issued by the for
est products laboratory, Madison, Wis.
The material should be stored on
well-dralned ground, where standing
water or overflow water may not reach
II. All rotting or infected debris
should be collected and burned. Sound
lumber should not be piled along with
infected lumber. Weeds should be
removed from about the piles to allow
q good air circulation.
The foundation should be Of q ma
teral free from decay and should be
high enough to allow good ventilation
beneath the stacks. In humid regions
the stack should be on foundations IS
to "a inches from the ground. Wood
treated with antlseptics, concrete
brick or other durable material should
be chosen for foundation. The
foundations should be built so that
the piles will slope approximately one
inch to every foot of length.
In most regions lumber should not
be close piled in the open, but should
be thick. Lateral spacing Is also very
desirable. Roofing or cover boards
should be used on the piles and should
extend over for several inches In front
and back.
Wherever infected or decayed mate
rial is observed either In the piles, or
foundations, or the sheds, II should be
removed Immediately to prevent con-
taminatlon of sound material. The
material in close contact with the in
fected material should be carefully in
spected to detect decay, and, If in
fected, an antiseptic solution should
be applied. Water-soluble salts, such
as sodium fuorid, mercurlc chloride,
zinc chloride or copper sulphate are
recommended.

MOVE FOR BETTER CITIES"
Active Campaign Begun In Oklahoma
Cash offered for the "Best
Homo Town."

1t looks as II It were going to be a
good year for children In Oklahoma.
Following the example of Kansas in
instituting Better cities campaign"
the Rotarian club of Shawnee has of
fered cash prize of $500 to any
middle class city In Oklahoma which
BY November Is, 1921, will score the
highest as a good place In which to
bring up family, Shawnee itself be-
ing now an example In that respect
Kansas started 1t. An active cam
paign in that state to determine which
OF its cities was best adapted for the
bringing up of the coming generation
was held during 19l5-1017. There
were 80 cities In the list Of entries,
each endeav0ring to show cause why
all parents should register as citizens
within Its precincts. Winfield won
the first prize Of $1,000 and Okla
homa, being the next outdoor neigh
Dor of Kansas, was not to be out
done in the way Of indicating what
its cities could offer for family resi-
dence.
The idea Of better-ctes campaign
began with william A. McKeever Of
the State University Of Kansas. In
order to make the local campaign
more effective the state board Of edu-
cation urges that control committee
consisting Of representatives from the
home, the school, the church, and the
community be appointed to help the
town to set Its best foot forward as
better city for better children and bet
ter parents.
There is an official scorecard, which
provides ten points for judging. Fa-
cillties for play come first. for indus
try second, followed consecutively by
points for schools, health, sc0utcrnft,
moral safeguards, sociability, religion,
service and housing. Mr.. McKeever
may be addressed at Lawrence, Kan,
