DEFENDS THE "DIME NOVEL;
Canadian Writer Points Out That At
Least 1t Stunned the "Sex Stuff
Now Common.

This Is not q plea for the return Of
the dime novel. In fact, we fear that
the dime novel can never come back |:
they don't sell anything for a dime
any more. All In all, however, the
only thing about the dime novel that
was as bad as 1t was painted was the
cover. Most Of us remember much
that was pleasant about the old "pa-
per cover" that fiourished in the sos
and '90s. Under Diamond Dick we
gang-fought all sorts Of thugs and bad
men; with Old King Brady we de-
tected the bank rObber with our de-
tectors hitting on all six; we rode
with Buffalo Bill as he put the Indian
Sign on Indians, that were at least
supposed to be bad. Sometimes 1t
was rough STUFF, but at that. 1t was
rarely that more than one throat
day was cut or more than pint Of
gore left clinging to the deftly-re-
moved scalp. We remember that In
the end Virtue (spell with a capital v,
please) always triumphed and that
honesty, If not the best policy, didn't
do anybody any harm. The much
abused dime novel, it will have to be
said, tended the young shoots Of the
imagination in many creaky wood
shed loft and In many sheltered spot
behind the cedar fence.
AS we remember the dime novel, we
are unable to recall one bedroom
scene, one neglected wife, one young
heroine sobbing In, her pink boudolr
because she is not understood, one
nasty sex problem. Which may lead
some Of us to think that the dime
novel had nothing to fear in COM
parison with the 81 novel.-Manitoba

"The motor, tried and proven

Longer springs. q wider, stronger
frame, larger, lower bodies, larger

combined to give thelgood Maxwell the

Five more days remain in the Ari- zona Republicans Chamber of Com merce slogan design contest now being waged throughout the state for two s25 cash prizes. Judging from the widespread interest manifested, it will take the judges an entire week to review the entries and make their selections.
 The contest to date has been pro ductive of an unusually large crop of ideas Some contestants have for warded as many as half a dozen pro- posed slogans, while one enterpris- ing artist or designer forwarded four designs.
 Ideas range from one extreme to the other. Some of the contestants have pictured the Salt River valley in glowing terms; others have been ultra ra-conservative. Few have ar rived at happy medium. But for the greater part the slogans on file indicate deep study on the part of the entrants and might well be se- lected for the highest award.
 Designs, for the greater part, have an allegorical significance. Entrants in the design contest have taken much pains with their work, as re- flected in the neatness of the entries on file. There seem to be far more thinkers than artists, however.
 Residents in all sections of Arizona are invited to participate in the con- test, although the slogan and design must relate only to Phoenix and the Salt River valley. Both slogan and design will be used as a national ad- vertising campaign if plans of the ad- vertising committee or the chamber of commerce do not miscarry. Mem bers of this committee will act as judges in the contest.
 Contestants should remember that their entries must be in the mails before midnight of Sunday, May 15. Any entry mailed after that hour will not be considered, it was emphat- ically stated last night.
 Although there is no advantage in early mailing insofar as awards are concerned, the contest committee urges contestants to send in their slo- gans and designs as soon as possible. There is no intent to hurry contest ants, it was explained, for the com mittee realizes that many are spend- ing much time and thought in an eff fort to write and draw the winning entries.
 Neatness and originality will play an important part in determining the winner, judges intimated last night. The value of the slogan or design for national advertising purposes will be of first consideration, it was ex-

ORGANIZE TODAY ID TAKE UP FEDERAL
 LOAN IF S4OO,0OD

Called for the purpose of organ izing under the provisions of the fed eral farm loan act, the ranchers of the Salt River valley will meet at the Water Users building at o'clock this afternoon to take up the loans which have been offered by the fed eral land bank at Berkeley in the smount of s40O00O
 Only those farmers who aitually own their own land and farm it will be eligible to participate in the loans, which are to be made at low rate of interest. The present allotment of $400,000, it was explained yesterday is an emergency allotment to be dis tributed among those in greatest need. Under the farm loan act a. ordinarily administered, the farmer can get money for the purchase of lands and for the taking up of loans not yet due. but in the present case in the Salt River valley the money may be used only as a relief measure. As additional allotments are made it is expected that the money will be used to take care of the normal needs of the farmers.
 The money which is being loaned here, it was pointed out yesterday, Is obtained from the sale of farm loan bonds issued by the farm land bank at Berkeley, and the amount available for loans here is limited by the market for bonds. The financial conditions improve more bonds can be placed and more money distributed among the farmers of the valley. The bonds carry interest at the rate of 5 per cent and are exempt from all taxes.
 The meeting this afternoon will be presided over by John P. Orme, pres ident of the former farm land loan organization, who will have charge of the gathering until a permanent or ganization with its own officers is effected.

BANKS ID HANDLE
 CONTRACTSF0R
 MARKETING PLAN

Cotton growers may sign the firm contracts of the Arizona Pimacotton Growers, the new cooperative mar keting association being formed on the same plan and contract as in most of the Southern states, at The National Bank of Arizona, the Com mercial National Bank, both of Phoe- nix, the Water Users office. the com mittee headquarters at IA North Second avenue, and at the First Ma tional Bank of Mesa.
 These organizations are co-operat- ing with the organization committee in helping to secure the minimum sign-up at the earliest nnssible time so that the new organization may be completed before another state takes precedence in completing their or ganization
 Local committees are taking on renewed life since the reports of the Oklahoma City and the Memphis conferences. and are vieing with each other in producing results in their districts
 The Mesa committee resolved itself into shock troops' last Friday and went out and placed the endorse ment cards, with seals, in a large number of business houses on the Southside metropolis, and took S1G contribution to the organization fund for each seal delivered Committees in other districts are getting ambi- tious along this line also.
 In securing membership the Mesa committee has formed themselves into four districts, and are covering 1t thoroughly. ranch by ranch. Sim liar work has already been done in Creighton, Washington and Scotts- dale districts, and a number of other community organization committees are programming their districts to be covered in the same manner.
 More volunteers to aid in the work of securing signatures. in addition to those who volunteered at the big meeting Saturday, will be welcomed by the organization committee at it's headquarters at IA North Secoi I avenue, or may call up and offer their services. Phone 1908 if you can spare anywhere from half a day to a week, and work will be provided for you in helping this movement for cooperative marketing.
 Additional places where the grow CTS may sign up will be published as established. In the case of the banks mentioned, anyone in the bank will take care of signing up the contract A representative of the organization committee will be at the Water Users most of the time. but in his absence some of the employees will handle the sign-up.

This program will continue during the summer months, but it is expected that, when the time comes, the winter meetings will be held in the after noons

HIGHWAY
 COMMISSION ID
 MOVE DOWN TOWN

The county highway commission will move from it's present quarters facing the capitol building on Seven teenth avenue to one of the Walker buildings on West Washington street The commission has been in its pres ent offices since it's organization more than two years ago. The lease will expire on June 1.
 The building into which it will be moved was gutted by fire a couple of months ago, but it is now being overhauled and repairs will shortly be completed.
 There are two reasons for the re- movaI. One of them is the need of more room by the engineering de- partment and for general office work. The other is that location may be secured where the automobiles of the commission and department may be kept and cared for at a great saving to the county.
 At present the automobiles, of which there are nine, are kept in gar ages, where not only repairs are ex- pensive, but frequently and generally the machines are wanted in the morning before the garages are opened for business. It is estimated that the saving in this respect will much more than offset the additional rental of the new quarters.

Tom didn't refrain and Judge Kirkland also didn't refadin from holding Tom to the sentence.

This year the entire school voted and there has been a great deal of in- terest as to whom the honor was to go to- Miss Connor is a popular member of the senior class, of which she is treasurer. She is also on the annual staff.
 Practically every one in the entire school IS helping in some way. The cadets under command of IIieuten- ants Dykes and Carpenter are to act as guards and ushers. The high school orchestra is to furnish the mu- sic for the occasion. Other students are working on the decorations with Miss Chowning. The stage has a backgrounds made up of roses, ole anders, honeysuckle and palms. The throne is a mass of flowers.
 Last year there were a number of persons for whom there was not room. This year there is a larger crowd expected and arrangements are being made to handle them satisfac- torily.
