FARMERS OF SULPHUR SPRING VALLEY PLAN TO
 ORGANIZE ASSOCIATION

A marketing association may soon be formed by Sulphur Spring Valley ranchers. A meeting of all ranchers will be held in the Whitewater school house at a date to be announced lat CT. In letter outlining the ranchers' plans for a marketing association. James. Brogan. of Webb. writes:
 The ranchers' object in organiz- ing the marketing association will be to have the same market price to all merchants for produce and to grade and pack all produce so it will be up to the standard and compete with pro- duce from any part of the country.
 These things are necessary to hold the market. I have been talking to several of the farmers from differ ent parts of the valley and they all agree that this is the only way that their produce can be marketed to an advantage. It will be of benefit to the merchants in town to know that one price will prevail.
 Those of the Douglas merchants with whom I have talked so far are very favorable to the proposition. and I am confident Tombstone merchants will favor it also.
 We would like very much to see a representative of Bisbee merchants at this meeting. This valley has a great future. If the farmers will only get together and take advantage of the opportunity, farming can be made very profitable business. Under the present system. with everybody going it alone. and having different price for each customer. there is lit tie profit in it.
 Every successful industry in the country is organized and cooperating and that is quickest way to success. Why con not the farmers of the Sul- phur Spring valley do likewise?"

BILL ss TO VOTERS
 PHOENIX. Feb. 19-House bill s3. which provides that the state guaran- tee district irrigation bonds. will be submitted to the voters at the general election in November unless other valid legislative mandates shall be is- sued to me in my official capacity" was the declaration made yesterday by Ernest R. Hall. secretary of state.
 While bills have been introduced in the special session to prevent the secretary from submitting the bill at the coming election the question has also arisen as to whether or not a legislature can amend or repeal an act which has been referred to the people and not voted upon.
 Secretary Hall stated his position in the matter in a letter sent in re- ply to three questions put directly up to him by E. w. Michael, president of the Paradise Verde Water Users association.
 While in the opinion of the secre. tary the legislature in passing the bill did not comply with the terms of the constitution. he will neverthe- less call the election in accordance with his duties unless otherwise di- rected.
 After the passage of the bill, a referendum was filed against Article { calling for a special election to vote on the measure. Mir. Hall accepted the referendum although the matter was taken into court on the ground that house bill S3 was a referendum measure and that there could not be a referendum on a referendum" :" The secretary was sustained by the court.

WHEN YOUR MILK OR CREAM
SOURS.

A Column Reader has asked me
to publish recipes calling for sour
milk or cream. on these warm
days, when milk is apt to-sour, it
Is well to keep some such recipes
as the following in handy place:
Sour Milk Griddle Cakes: Beat
well together one egg, one cup of
thick sour milk and one-half cup
of any kind of cooked cereal. Sift
together three-fourths of a cup of
flour and one-fourth teaspoon of
salt, and add this to the first mix
ture. When ready to drop the
cakes on the griddle, add one-half
teaspoon of baking soda to the
batter. and beat vigorously. (This
batter should look like thick
cream. If too thin. add a little
more flour and if too thick add
more sour milk or water)
Emergency Biscuits: Sift togeth-
eh two cups of flour, one-i1alf tea
spoon Of soda and one-fourth tea
spoon of salt. Rub into this one
tablespoon OF shortening, add one
cup Of thick sour milk, and stir
lightly. The dough should be
soft. Drop it by spoonfuls into
creased muffin tins and bake in a
hot oven for 20 minutes. They are
delicious.
Boston Brown Bread: Sift to-
gether one cup of cornmeal and
one cup of graham flour. Dissolve

HOUSE KEEPING
BY ELECTRICITY
IS COOLER WAY
Morning Caller Entertains
Neighbors Comfortably at
Luncheon on Hottest Day
of Year.

It was the hottest day Of the
year but Morning Caller invited
two neighbors in to luncheon. In
the breezy living room the three
women talked food fashions and
furnishings for a long time.
"Ten minutes to twelve" Morn
ing Caller suddenly announced. ut
is Katie's day off-but I'll go into
the kitchen now and at ~ o'clock
/ promise to have luncheon on the
table. You, can hold the stop
watch" she added laughing1y. as
she led the way into the kitchen.
This luncheon will be prepared the
electric way, which is the timely
way and the tasty way"
She poured cream into whip
ping bowl and placed it under the
electric food mixer. Then she
opened the can of salmon, gar
nished salad bowl with the crisp
lettuce leaves. put the salmon in
the bowl and covered it with rich,
creamy mayonnaise to which the
cucumber had been added, thinly
sliced.
She placed the salad bowl with
plates to match on the tea wagon:
disconnected the samovar and
. made the tea. Then she shut off
the food mixer, poured the whip
ped cream over the raspberries
which had been placed in a glass
dish and put them on the tea wa
gon with bowl of powdered su-
gar.
She filled a glass pitcher with
cubes of ice taken from the trays
of the refrigerator and poured the
hot tea over them. She placed
the pitcher on the lower shelf of
the tea wagon with glass plate
containing thin slices of lemon
and carafe Of ice water. She
apportioned the bread and butter
on small plates, set a jar of as
sorted cookies on the tea wagon
and at exactly two minutes to ~
the delectable meal was wheeled
into the dining room The table
meanwhile had been laid by Home
maker with pale green doilies with
frayed edges. and a centerpiece Of
ferns In wet moss added to the
woods-like GOODNESS of the room.
TITS not much of luncheon,
Morning Caller apologized. But
it's cooling and required no eff
fort to prepare" The whole meal
was prepared in less than 10 min

ings that annually take such a
toll OF human lives.
An illustration of what a men,
ace grade crossings may be is
found in a road between two small
towns in Alabama, Ariton and
Clayton. In a distance of rs miles
the old road crossed the railroad
II times. Under the direction of
expert engineers the federal aid
road will eliminate 10 of these
crossings.
"Plan now the financing of high
ways for the future and place
highway transportation, which has
come to be an indispensable part
of our national life, on a firm
foundation" is the advice given
by Thomas II. Macdonald to every
voter, taxpayer and legislator. Mr.
Macdonald Is the chief of the fed
eral bureau of public roads. 1--WE
are starting out to construct a sys-
tenn of highways such as no nation
ever before constructed. The near
est approach to it is found In
France and Germany, and the area
or neither of those countries is as
large as Texas. This great UNDER
taking is entered into because
highways are not a luxury, but
supply a real service, have real
earning capacity and have become
national necessity"
When and where man first be-
gan to build Is is not known.
Ihat 1t was long before the be-
ginning of authentic history is
certain. Furthermore, the con-
struction of such works as the
pyramids of Egypt and the great
walls and hanging gardens of Ba-
bylon could not have been accom-
plished without he existence OF
roads for the transportation of ma
terials and supplies. o.
But whatever the beginnings of
road building it appears that il
has been left to this country 10
carry the art to its final, fruition,
we are leading the world at the
present time and the policy that is
being, carried out meets with such
widespread popular approval that
there Is no likelihood of its be-
ing abandoned.
