LOVE IF SHOWS
 CAUSES THEFTS
From Fridays Daily)

To discourage what investigation by Juvenile Officer Ben Powers yes tcrday revealed is almost an organ ized program of coal-stealing by boys from cars in the Santa Fe railroad yards, two adults who had bought coal irom the boys yesterday were fined $l0 each when they appeared before Justice Charles H. McLane. They were Harry Boyd and Anita Gonzales.
 Coal has been continually carried away from the railroad yards, the rear oi store buildings, outhouses and other places where it could be ob- tained by the youngsters, and dis posed of to those who would buy it. The condition was uncovered after two boys were caught at the Santa Fe yards and taken to the sheriff office, where they were turned over  to MT. Powers. Investigation reveal ed that the stealing had been going on for some time, and that at least Ia dozen small boys were concerned.
 At the hearing before Justice Me Lane yesterday. it developed that the motive for theft usually was con cerned with the picture show. The boys were sons of parents unable to provide them with money to see the pictures, and they adopted coal swiping as a means of securing funds for that purpose. In most cases. they would charge for bucket or a sack of coal, only the Is or 20 cents necessary to secure them admission to the theater
 The technical charge against the two adults who bought the coal was that of purchasing junk from minors, d misdemeanor. It was intimated that other adults encouraging the boys stealing by buying what they stole, would be prosecuted in like manner.

 INSPECTORS VIEW
From Sundays DaiIvl

Slightly higher prices for cattle will probably be received this year by Yavapai county and Arizona stockmen, in the view of Joe Camp bell, Yavapai county inspector for the state livestock sanitary board Cattle men in Iavapai are holding yearlings for $25, and will probably receive $23, Mir. Campbell said Prices rang ing from $50 to $37 for two and three year-olds may be expected, he said.
 While several buyers are in the Yavapai district looking over the cattle situation, no buying is being done at present. A good movement in cattle is expected soon for spring delivery, however Range conditions both in the county an dover the state generally, are considerably im- proved over last years, due largely to the disagreeable weather and more continues rainfall of the 1921-1922 winter.

Statements That Highway Com mission Costs Would Exceed B Is Percent Disproved by Official Figures for March.

Overhead expense of the Yavapai county highway commission during the month of March. 1922, was slightly under per cent The exact figure, made public yesterday by Mrs Christine F. Johnson, secretary of the commission, is .0S57.
 "In view of the fact that March has been one of our heaviest months so far,' said the secretary, in making public the official data of the com mission, this exact figure should suffice to 'disprove statements that an overhead of one third, or B Is per cent, could be expected Whether these statements have been made. ma liciorSly or not, I don't know; but they are grossly inexact, to put it mildly.
 "The heaviest overhead expense the present highway commission has incurred in expenditure of bond issue funds on roads of this county, has been l2 per cent In other months it has been as low as 5 per cent Most concerns figure a flat rate of 10 per cent for their over head expense, so it is plain enough that. our overhead is reasonable, since it is usually less than 10 per cent"

TIDY SUM FOR
 ARIZONA LOANS

PHOENIX, April 13.-From $l,- I5OO0OO to $5,OOO,OOO will be immed- Iiately available for loans to Arizona sheep and cattle men by the War Finance corporation, according to an announcement made last night by Cnas. w. Fairfield, state auditor and bank superintendent.
 This IS the best news 10 come to Arizona in long time" said Fair field, flor it means the continued financing of our sheep and cattle in terests on the three-year loan basis. It is made possible by the passage of Ia law by the legislature, amending our corporation law to meet the re- quirements Of the War Finance cor poration." This bill was introduced by Senator Scott at the request of the state banking department.
 In response to telegraphed re- quest, Fairfield has sent certified copy of the bill signed by the gover- nor to Dewitt Knox, secretary of the War Finance corporation for the district comprising California and Arizona.
 Fairfield left last night for Cali fornia, where he will take up with Knox the question of repayment of loans already advanced. The state banking department is cooperating with the sheep growers in protesting the method which has been adopted, that Of holding out the total receipts on sales ol lambs and wool. E. A. Sawyer, one of the biggest sheep men in the state, declares that under this system loans would be returned ill eight months. whereas the general understanding was that loans would be made for. the period of three years. The sheepmen want a con tinuence of the loans with the right of replacing six-year-old ewes with new ewes each year.
 Fairfield will also be in conference with officials of the twelfth federal reserve to consider problems incident to the widespread growth of branch banking institutions. This system is said to contain many objectionable features which the reserve board will attempt to correct.

CAMPBELL IS FOR FOREST PROTECTION
 WEEK APRIL 16-22

PHOENIX, April 14.-In hearty endorsement of the plan for nation wide observance of the week of April 16 to P as Forest Protection week. Governor Thomas E. Camp bell has issued the following public statement of approval of the plan which, in most of the states of the
 union, will include the celebration of the last day of that week as the golden anniversary of the inaugura-
 ton of Arbor day in the United States:
 As owners in part of one of the
 greatest forests of pine in the world the people of Arizona will doubtless
 be particularly interested in the ob- servance of the week of April 1922
 as Forest Protection week. in ac- cordance with the proclamation is sued by President Harding.
 This great heritage of nature which is destined to play an even more important part ill the future economic development of Arizona as . commonwealth than it has in the past, should by all means be pro- tected against unnecessary waste through preventable fires; against the deplorable effects of forest de- vastation; and against the depletion of this most essential natural re source.
 It is a matter of such vital i'm portance to the future welfare Of our state that I feel it but mere matter of duty to request the cooperation of officers of public instruction throughout the state, and civic and commercial organizations, in uniting during Forest Protection week up- on programs of educational and in structive exercises such as will tend to bring before our citizens, and the boys and girls, our future citizens, thought Of the loss suffered by the commonwealth through the diSas- trous effects of forest fires and the denuding of our timbered slopes, and the need for individual and collective effort to prevent waste and destruc- ton of our forests and to conserve and increase our tree growth, both for ornament and use.
 T. therefore, heartily endorse the plan for a nationwide observance of the week of April 1922 as Forest Protection week

SOUTHWEST RANGE CONDITIONS GOOD,

Cattle and range conditions i'll the
 southern part of the state are in a
 satisfactory condition for the spring. according to Paul H. Roberts, in- spector of grazing on the national
 forests of the southwest, who arrived in Prescott Sunday night with Rob ert Munro, deputy supervisor of the Prescott forest. Roberts, whose headquarters are at Albuquerque, is visiting ranges of the Arizona and New Mexico forests to look over conditions and allotments for the service He and Munro last week inspected allotments on the Cave Creek district, where the deputy su pervisor has been experimenting of the New River trail; and from there, making a brief ex- cursion into the Bloody Basin coun- try, they came to Prescott, where Mir. Roberts yesterday was confer ring with Supervisor Wales.
 A good outlook for the spring cattle market exists, in Roberts opinion, while cattle and sheep will not suffer this year as they did last from shortage of graze. Today the grazing inspector will go into the Walnut Creek and Camp Wood dis ricts of the Prescott forest.
