BIG SUNDAY DINNER Al LOREN
 MERRILL'S

A rather amusing and thoroughly enjoyable dinner party was held at the home of Loren Merrill at Showlow last Sunday.
 Bright and early Mir. and Mrs. Willard and MT. and Mrs, Will Stapely left Hol- brook for Snowflake where they picked up MT. and Mrs. John Ramsey, daughter and son, MT. and Mrs. Geo. Gar dner and Mrs. Geo. Ramsey and continued on to t h e Merrill home, but they found nobody home, the Merrills being at church. However this didn't bother the invad- CTS. They promptly set a. bout looking for grub and fOund lC galore. Every lm- aginable thing was in the garden and plenty of meat was found in the house. It was not long until a dinner of rare deliciousness was on the table. One amusing event followed another. It was not long until Riley Gar dner and family from Fay Tor joined the party, a n d when the Merrills returned from church they found a treat in store for them that was highly enjoyed.
 An enjoyable time was had and everyone was pleas ed with the day.

ADAMANA NO. l

Optimism is and always has
 been a marked characteristic of
 the Adamana management, and
 they now feel that the long up-
 hill pull is just about oyer. The
 new tools which arrived several
 days ago are doing all that was
 expected of them. Mir. A. Ri.
 MacDuffie. the president of the company. spent Tuesday of this week at the well. He states that surprisingly good progress is be- ing made toward finishing the swaging of the collapsed casing. The company has 4 in. hole with bit swaging to 5 in. It is believed that this will take but a short time when new heavy. casing will be set. The casing is now in Los Angeles ready for shipment. It is with no little pleasure that we print this good news; as in common with others interested in oil. we feel that the Adamana we'll is now in the producer class. Until an actual producer is brought in, we in Holbrook must radiate the eour- age of our convictions by deed and word.

LEGION SUGGESTS SOLUTION
 OF COAST RACE PROBLEM

A year ago the white canta- Ioupe pickers in the Turlock, California, district asked 35 cents crate for picking a n q packing the melons. Almost a thousand of the white pickers lost out when gangs of Japanese came along and offered to rend- CT the same seryice for 25 cents a crate. The white men depart ed, muttering, to seek other jobs.
 This year the white pickers asked 9 cents a crate. T h e Japanese underbid them by 10 cents. or forty per cent. Al l other fruit-harvesting jobs were filled; there was no other work for the displaced white men to do. So the mob forclbly deport- ed several hundered of the Jap anese.
 In boom times the Japanese will ask for as much pay as the white man. When work is scarce, the Japanese will invari- ably underbid the white worker. When this happens, the slumber- ing racial hostility is bound to burst into flame.
 On the horizon there is no in- ,dication of returning boom times. The American Legion served notice on Congress that should the nation fail to act, the indi- vidual states of the Far w 8 t are bound to take the matter in their own hands, The Legion convention also reiterated t h e suggestion made in these pages that the only way in which to prevent racial conflict ia the fu- ture was to deport all Japanese now resident ln the Far West. after fully indemnifying them for all their holding. possessions and enterprises.
 Thanks to the heavy yellow immigration under the Gentle mems Agreement, the Japanese problem can DO longer be solved by stopping the lesks..

Holds Tax Bond
 Contract Is Invalid

Phoenix, Aug. 31. George R. Hill assistant attorney general, today held that the contract be- tween the state loan commission and the company that purchased the first issue of the tax. antici- patton bonds authorized by the last legislature was invalid,
 MT. Hill said that one para graph of the act authorizing the bonds issued required that each issue should be made by a re- solution of the loan commission fixing the term and conditions of the sale of the honda,
 The concluding paragraph of the contract between the con- mission and the companies pro- vided that subsequent issues of the bonds should 20 to the same purchasers under the same terms on which the first issue was bought. MT. Hill held that this paragraph conficted with the law and therefore the contract was invalid.
 The first issue was for $1, 500, :  900 worth of the bonds bearing interest at the rates of 6 1-2 per cent, The price at which they were sold was par and accrued interest. but the state agreed to pay the purchasers as agents a sum equal to l l-2 per cent of the purchase price. --MohaYe Go. Miner

WARN GENTLEMEN AGAINST
 BLACKLEG HORRIBLE DISEASE

The livestock sanitary board is sending out warning to cattle men to guard against ''blackleg " There have been no reports of a prevalence of the ailment which is the most fatal of all to cattle, but it is pointed out that the conditions are right for the in- ception and spread of it, as cat tie are more susceptible to it when undergoing a change from aperiod a of short feed to enc in which they rapidly take on fat. They are more subject then to invasion by the bacillus.
 |. A very little neglect, says the board, might result in the loss of cattle in Arizona to the a. mount of $1. GOO. 900. It is point ed out that in some years when the disease was neglected. cat tIemen suffered losses of twice that amount. There was never a time, says the board. when the conditions for a spread of the disease were more ideal.
 The board therefore is encour- aging cattlemen to vaccinate their stock.
 But what is done must be done quickly. The attack of the dis ease is sudden aud it's course brief and always fatal. A COW may be appare ntly well one day; there is an apparent stiffness of the forelegs the next day, and the next day there is a carcass.
 The disease is so named be- cause of blackness of the flesh just above the left foreleg in the vicinity of the heart. proba- bIy due to the coagulation of blood there. The inner skin at than point is smooth and dry like parchment. Santa Cruz, PatagonIan

WOOL MARKET SOUND; GOOD
 WOOL SELLING REAlILY

With some mills closed fol
 the annual vacation, woo
 has been rather more quiet
 than in recent weeks. Still
 dealers say the market is in
 a sound and healthy position
 and that good wools are sell
 ing readily enough. Prices
 improve very slowly, though
 the tendency is upward on
 really choice fine wools. Old stocks are being reduced and
 the general situation is clear ing. Some uneasiness has been created bya report from New York to. the effect that the demand for goods is slackening. In Boston the story is that mems wear lines are doing very well, but that women's wear goods are sell. ing slowly. Large purchas- es of low-grade wools have been made in the Boston market lately by manufact- urers of women's sport goods. Low prices have been paid for such. wools, and given a continued vogue, good profits seem assured. The opening of the new Lon don sales series this week at general advance of 10 per cent from the last closing has had a strengthening ef- feet on American markets. American buying continues in Australia. Bradstreets Report.

MORAN SAYS THINGS DOWN
 KINGMAN WAY LOOK GOOD

P. J. Moran, of Babbitt Brothers, returned Wednes- day morning from a week spent in the country around Kingman.
 Pat returned chockoblock with enthusiasm over the out look for immediate lively times down that way. He says that the stockmen are Ielated over the generous rains, and that every thing points to great activity in the mines. At Oatman, the debris left by the fire recent ly wiped out a large portion |of the place, has been carried away and a lot of build ing is going on. A fine new showhouse has already been built.
 Over at Tristate, where an |outeropping of gold of the Katherine mine has been To- cated, things are booming and it looks like within a very short time a second Tia Juana will be in full blast. Tristate is in the southern point of Nevada, four miles across the Colorado river from Katherine, 40 miles from Kingman, and only a short way also, from t h e California line; hence it's name. The ferry has been moved down from Search light to take care of t h e traffic from Arizona into Tristate.
 MT. Moran says that with the opening up of that sec tion there will also be open. ed up a new, much better and shorter road to the coast. 1t will require very little road building to con- meet up. -Coconino Sun.

"From Storehouse To Market

The picture taken in South Caro-
lima by the United States Agricultural
Department, "From Storehouse to
Market" is to be shown at the Rialto
Theatre on December 18th. This pic
tyre shows the modern marketing sys-
tenn for the Souths great sweet potato
crop. All details of handling, the pro-
cess of grading, packing and storing,
as well as details of the construction
of the storage houses are shown with
great accuracy.
These sweet potato storage houses
are rapidly becoming feature in the
South. Starting on a very small scale
a few years ago they have rapidly de-
veloped until they are now becoming a
well-known feature in many sections,
even commoner than cotton gins.
Wherever started, they have been
successful in preserving and making
a market for the sweet potato crop,
thus equaizing and sustaining prices
from fall to spring to the great ad-
vantage Of both farmer and consumer,
and accounting largely for the inter-
est in the sweet potato production in
South Carolina from 100000 bush
els in 1919 to 9,24O,OOO bushels in
1920.
This picture is one of those being
circulated through the Lynch chain of
theatres by the Southern Railroad,

Western of Alabama, and Louisville
& Nashville Railroads, and the South

pictures are all of great interest, H.
lustrating special feature of our agri-
cultural and industrial life and devel-
opment, and are shown for the pur-
pose of promoting the general prog
ress Of the South.

RACE QUESTION
COMES UP AGAIN

Washington, Dec. 12.-The Demo

was assailed by Senator Moses (Re-

the course of speech today in the

over the seating of Truman H. New
berry as senator from Michigan.
During his speech Senator Moses
referred to representation fSouth-
ern states in congress as being based
upon abridged suffrage" and the race
question Immediately was opened.
Replying to demands by Mr.. Moses
that these states pay the constitu-
tional penalty" with reduced repre-
sentation, Senator Heflin (Democrat) }
of Alabama warned him that "some
time the South is going to let you
Northerners have things the way you
want it if you don't stop meddIing in
that problem"
Were going to let you have them
by your side" declared Mr.. Heflin at

have lot of half baked nostrum
spread among those people"
Mr.. Moses predicted that the Demo
Gratis would not carry a national cleo
tion "in thousand years when the
Scuth's representation is properly ap-
portioned"
Referring to Henry Ford, who is
contesting Mr.. Newberry's seat in the
senate, Mr.. Moses described him as "a
somewhat amiable and narrow minded
wizard of industry, man capable of
building motor cars but not known to
be gifted in legislation, the possessor
of a huge fortune, however, slended
intellectual capital and an idol who
burned incense at the shrine of Wood
row Wilson,"
Mr.. Moses said that Mr.. Wilson
sought to nominate Mr.. Ford as the
senatorial candidate, but that Michi-
gan discovered the cuckoo egg in the
robins nest and straightaway sought
to prevent it being hatched"
The New Hampshire senator de-
clared that Senator Pomerene of Ohio
who had been leading the Democratic
attack on Mr.. Newberry, had sought
attack on Mr.. Newberry, had sought
in 1918 to keep him (Mr. Moses) from
his seat in the senate, because the
