ARIZONA NOT in IT
With IMPERIAL

l.. F. Shaw of Holtvile, has returned
from the national good roads associa-
tion at Phoenix, which he attended rs
an Imperial Valley delegate. He is
highly gratified with the success at
endorsement of tfie Bankhead national
highway as routed through Imperial
Valley for the honor and advantage to
this region of having been elected one
of the National Bankhead highway di-
rectors in this state. 5. NJ. White of
San Diego is the other state director,
and Col. Ed Fletcher of San Diego was
made vice president of the national as
sociation for California.
Election of national officers other
wise resulted in the choice of Colonel
Bennham of North Carolina, president;
Leon g. Jones of Alabama, treasurer;
j. A. Roundtree, director general. After
a hot fight the convention selected
Greeneville, South Carolina, as its
meeting place next year. Twenty nine
states were represented in the Phoenix
convntion, with 500 registered dele
gates.
In company with Mayor Fawcett of
El Centre, Mr.. Shaw drove over 80
miles of the country around Phoenix
one day, and he says they are second to
Imperial Valley over there in agricul-
tural development. Imperial looks more
prosperous and productive than any of
the celebrated Arizona reclamation
regions he saw.
Mr.. Shaw is Holtviile candidate for
the nomination of sheriff in the August
primaries.

POSTMASTER KEEPS
POSTAL WEEK in
FL CENTRIC

As an example of the need for observ-
ing postal Improvement week ~ which
is being held throughout tile country
this week, Postmaster Collins received
at the postofficc yesterday, large,
bulky envelope, without mark on il,
but which gave every indication OF be-
ing full of currency.
Evidently the envelope had been
placed in the mail of some concern, and
through carelessness was brought to the
postoffice and dumped in the outgoing
mail. According to strict interpreta-
tion of postoffice rules, the envelope
would have to be sent to the dead letter
office at Washington, but it happened
that the postmaster recognized the en-
velope rs being of type used by only
q few business houses in FL Centre, and
as it would avoid delay by making an
investigation, q few minutes work
soon put him in touch with the party
who had mailed the envelope. He ad-
mitted that it contained considerable
money which was to have been regis
tered, and he became an ardent booster
for ''postal Improvement week, y
straightway.
FuUllC COOpeTdClOu OOuSEC
1t is to bring to the public a realiza-
tion of just what the postal service
means in the individual and commercial
lives of the public that Postmaster Gen
eral Work named this week as a time
for cultivating improvement of the pos
tai service and closer relationship be-
tween the public and the postoffice de-
partment. All over the country during
this week, postmasters are making every
effort to get the public interested in
the postal service and are holding meet
ings with various civic bodies, inviting
suggestions for improvement of the
service, and request visits by the public
to the postoffices so that they may be-
come familiar with its workings and
the rules and regulations under which
it is conducted.
A bulletin sent out by the postmaster
general points out that the public is in
a large degree unfamiliar with the
workings of the postal service. Many
indeed consider the postoffice some
thing which they have to support and
which gives them no return. A few
minutes reflection the postal service
observes, would prove the unsoundness
of this reasoning, for there is not
business which could be successfully
conducted today without postal service,
and the individual would be subjected
to many Inconvenience if the service
were suddenly abandoned.
In many instances it is argued bust
ness houses depend more for their sue
cess on the postal service than on any
other branch, yet give it the least Of
their attention. If delays or mistakes
occur the blame is often placed upon
the postoffice, when they are actually
due to failure to observe postal rules Or
inefficiency in their own organizations
in handling mail properly, it is con-
tended. The postal service admits hav-
ing faults, for no organization of an
equal size, or doing AN equal amount of
business, is without them, but it's per-
sonnel is continually striving to correct
and reduce them.

cares to visit the postoffice will be al

to learn the workings of the service.

SEELEY GIN OUTPUT
DOUBLES LAST YEAR

SEELEY, May 2.-Having ginned
about twice as many bales as last sea
son, the Seeley long staple gin will close
in 10 days. As it appears there is no
market at this time for Pima cotton,
very little is being planted, but accord
ing to N. P. Pearse, Gotten buyer,
there will be some volunteered and IL
is of the opinion that there will be an
active demand for this cotton next fall,
in which ease it will be a profitable
crop to raise. The present depression
in the price of Pima is most likely due,
Mr.. Pearse says, to an oversupply
created for war purposes. There Is
pretty sure to be sharp recovery soon,
it is said, owing to the fact that Sea
Island cotton is scarce and Pima will be
needed in its place.

United States Had
Over Ten Million
Cars During 1921
CBy Associated Press)

Statistics compiled by the B. F
Goodrich Rubber company give a to.
tai of 1O,524,395 cars and trucks
registered in the country during
1921. This is an increase of 1929,
O23 or 1872 per cent over 1920, when
there were 9,295,372 motor vehicles
registered.
The gain made during the past
year warrants the consideration of
the automotive pessimist. The auto
mobile business has gone through it's
supreme test. 1t has emerged victo-
rious and there is no longer any room
for pessimism. Authorities concede
that over one-third of the cars run
ming are owed by farmers. Despite
the fact that six large agricultural
states show decrease over the pre-
vious year the industry has forged
ahead 1t is remarkable that so few

tlced this and he told the legislature
that the youth of his village home is
being corrupted by the sight of wom-
en- clad only in bathing suits strolling
down the street to the river. The
vote was &c to 20, Notwithstanding
the fact that Representative James
Park, former big league baseball
player called the bill an effort to leg
islate the morals of the people and
said the average bathing suit contains
more materia than the average even

ed favorably by the Alcoholis liquors
committee, to which it was referred.
Senator Bannie Tabor of Carter
county is pushing a "still' bill. Sem
ator Tabor, in his bill, consisting of
five sections proposes, that it shall be
unlawful for a person to operate a
still without a whistle that can be
heard two miles; that it must be
blown every half hour from 1 a. M
until IL p. m. and that roadways or
well-beaten paths must lead to the
still. 1t creates the office of "moon-
shine still inspector" to see that the
law is obeyed under heavy penalty

tual cost of production. This of it.
self would tend to restrict the use
of automobiles by farmers yet, in
such states as Kansas, Nebraska and
Iowa where the agricultural depres-
sion was most acute, the number of
cars has increased. Motor vehicles
are becoming as essential as farm
implements.
New York again leads the field
with $1,000 cars and trucks, an in
crease of 1886, the largest made
in any state over the previous year.
Ohio is second, with 726,7OO, a gain

clings to third place, with 1859,
while Illinois is close on it's heels,

The largest percentage gain was
made by West Virginia, where an
increase of 1871 per cent is recorded
