MANY HUNDREDS OF
MEXICANS LEAVE
VALLEY FOR MINES

approximately 1000 Mexican labor
ers have been moved from the Salt
River valley during the past six
weeks to the mines in the state and
to southern California, according to
a statement made yesterday by 2. f.
Mines, state immigration conmls-
sioner. In the past five days, he sald.
about 100 Mexicans have been taken
from the valley to the United VERDE
Copper mines at Jerome. Al of the
number leaving yesterday morning
Others will be taken to the mines
within a few days, Mr.. Mines added.
Most of the Mexicans leaving the
valley, Mr.. Mines said. We're single
men. and none of them were associa-
ton Mexicans brought in here from
Mexico by the cotton associations
under bond. The demand for COM
mon laborers at the mines in the
state, is very heavy and representa-
tives OF the mining companies are
now in the valley signing up all avail
able Mexican laborers. Representa-
tives of the fruit and vegetable in
dustries of California, Mr.. Mines
asserted, have been in the state for
several weeks for the purpose of OBJ
tanning common laborers for south
ern California where it is reported
there is. an acute shortage of un-
skilled labor.
Laborers, most of them unmarried
and of the transient type. have been
leaving the valley for southern Cali
fornia during the last six weeks. ac-
cording to Mr.. Mines They have
been moving to the coast in small
parties nearly every day. A large
number have been moved to the mines
in the same manner until this week
when two large gangs were taken.
AS the mines approach normal ca
pacity. Mr.. Mines said. the demand
Will increase and more will be taken.
According to w. Fl. Knox, general
manager of the Arizona Cotton Grow
ers' association, the movement of
these Mexicans from the valley will
in no way cause labor shortage.
Recently, Mr.. Knox said, he got 200
Mexican laborers from Tucson for
work in the valley and could have
obtained twice that number had the
occasion demanded. In many of the
towns of the state. Mr.. Knox stated,
there are numbers of Mexicans, most
of them with families, who are not
employed and would welcome a
chance to come to the Salt River wall
ley.

LIVING COST REPORT.
IS HAILED BY BUREAU.

Faulty Marketing" as one reason
for the high cost of living, according
to the report of the joint congress
sional commission on agricultural in
quiry announced yesterday is pointed
to by officers of the Maricopa county
farm bureau as Just another rea-
son why ranchers of the Salt River
valley should join cooperative mar
keting associations.
Facts contained in the congress
sional commission report arc just
what we have been attempting to
show the farmers of this country"
Fred TAFT, president of the Maricopa
bureau. declared yesterday.
There is no question but that
faulty marketing not only increases
the price of farm commodities TO the
consumer but decreases the price to
the producer. We believe that many
of these ills can be corrected through
the proposed cooperative associa-
tions.
Cites Loss of Values
Commodity values are lost in a
mass of service costs and the time
has come for a consideration of the
fundamental problem of the eco
nomic distribution of the essentials of
living the report of the federal COM
mission said in part" Mr. TAFT de-
clared, adding, THAT has been our
viewpoint throughout this campaign.
1--WE believe that through a great
association for and by the farmers
the commodity values will be suS-
tanned and the mass of service costs
will be minimized.
what we propose to do is to elm
mate the profits of the middlemen,
be they two or dozen. Few people
fully realize how many hands a farm
product passes through before it fin
ally finds its way to the consumer.
In some instances 10 different people
profit. The result is that the con-
sumer pays nine and ten times as
much as the commodity is worth.
Direct marketing or products from
the producer to the consumer will
eliminate this waste of time and
money and will bring the commodity
to the consumer in better shape. The
money saved through such a market
ing plan would be divided between
the producer and the consumer. The
producer. wouh get what his COM
modify is worth, to start with, and
the consumer would be able to buy
it at it's market value. Our plans
provide for the marketing of pro-
duce on an economic basis.
Cooperative marketing does not
mean increased costs of farm prod
ucts to the consumer. Rather ii
means decreased costs. Such an
agency will handle the products
quicker and cheaper than through
the old channels; there will be less
waste and spoilage. The consumer
as well as the producer will benefit
These views were shared by other
members of the county organization
as well as by Charles S. Brown, pres
ident of the Arizona Farm Bureau
federation, who authorized Mr.. TAFT
to be spokesman for all.

A movement to make the present
school commencement season mark a
forward step in education is under
way ltra and in many other repre-
sentative cities of the country. A
request made by the chamber of
commerce of the United States for
information as to what is being done
for health and for physical education
in the local schools has just come to
the Phoenix chamber of commerce.
The nationa chamber is obtaining
this information from 500 cities to
determine what physical preparation
is being given to those who later with
bear the business and industrial bur-
dens of the nation.
In the pamphlet which accompanies
these questions these statements are
made:
THE conservation of health is a
great economic problem challenging
the best thought in America today
The bus. ness world has much at
stake in the development of a citi.
zenry lich is physically fit.
There are approximately $4,000,
900 school children in the United
States. arge majority Of these
have reme' Q e defects such as deaf
ness. malli Il ition. decayed teeth,
poor eyesight inciplent tuberculosis
In order TO promote the physical
well being of all the people a proper
system OF physical examinations and
health instruction must be universal
ly carried on in the various grades of
the schools About one half of the
children leave school befone they are
Is years of age and yet most of the
health instruction has been reserved
for high school and college students.
THE purpose of health education
must be to establish habits, not to ac.
cunulate facts. 1t does the child with
the twisted back no good to commit
to memory the names of the bones
of the body; nor the mainourished
child to recite the the stages of di-
gestion.
Physical education presents the
greatest opportunity the nation has
of developing national power. Health
instruction is the most vital part of
the child's education. Are the schools
of your city giving health education
to all the children or are they grad
uating educated invalids?
In cities where the medical in
spection is properly organized, the
physicians have done inestimabie
good by pointing out removable de-
fects which ere interfering Will

the nroeress of the children in the
school. by preventing epidemics; by
bringing about improvements in the
school equipment which make the en-
vironment more healthful by start
ing right habits of thought and ac-
ton concerning health.
"The work of the school physician
is of little avail If there are no school
nurses tc follow up his work. The
physician finds the defects in the
child. the school nurses follows the
case through and sees the defects are
remedied She is the liaison officer
between the medical Inspector, the
school teacher and the parents.
"A physical education system that
develops eleven players and a thou
sand spectators will never go far in
raising the physical efficiency of our
cities. The one thousand must par
ticipate. Those who are weak and
physically defective most Of ALL"
Among the questions on which the
national chamber wishes to get in
formation are the following:
Are all children given medical
examination upon their admission to
the schools?
Are they inspected regularly for
defects and incipient illness?
Are there rules for the care and
use OF TIE eyes posted in the school
buildings and taught in the school
rooms?
Are school buildings properly ven
tilated, cleaned and repaired?
Are chere school nurses?
rs time allowed in each school
day for training the children the chill
dren in the establishment OF proper
health habits?
rs there a program Of general
health education which reaches ev-
cry child in the elementary school?
THE answers to these questions
will give light on the problem of
whether OF not We are sending our
graduates into the business and in
