Quality Maintained in WWard'S., New. Prices

Most manufacturers in this day ana age realize that buyers of their pro- ducts are vitally interested in the prices asked, but there are few who want any article at any price which is below that for which a dependable product can be made.
 'In the present tendency to look for reduced prices, care must be ex- ercised," says George Merritt of Vyne Bros. Electric Co.,, who repre- sents the Willard storage battery, Ito make sure that former quality has been maintained. Such is the case, however, with the Willard battery for which a new price schedule is an nounced, effective at once"
 The Willard battery" says MT. Merritt, "has always been built to a standard and not to a price and the latest change is due solely to the lower cost of materials of which the battery IS made"

 Sheldon and full width intersections at Washington and Virginia. The roadway will be 20 feet wide, with curb and gutter only at the intersec- tions and header boards throughout. As in the other black base job, the base will be 31A inches and the sur facing 1H inches. Sheldon street comprises 2,890 square yards, at "A cents for grading and $2.5S for pay ing. An alternate bid for concrete totaled $2.S2 a yard, comparing with $305 for concrete on the Willis Montezuma job. This difference is due to the cash feature.
 The total cost of the Sheldon street improvement will be $10,4350S.
 After acceptance of this bid, the council voted to notify the board of supervisors so that the county's re- cent promise to pave its share of the road to the post may be recalled.

SUPREME COURT MAY BE ASKED
 IF HOLD-OVER

PHOENIX, Aug. "A movement is on foot to obtain from the supreme court a ruling on the vexatious ques- ton of the holdover supervisor Following the decision in Gila county that the supervisorial election law passed by the last special session is valid, many interested persons are talking of the possibility of a test case on which the supreme court justices would be asked to render a prompt opinion.
 The one point at issue appears to be whether the law passed by the special session providing for one hold-over supervisor is within the scope of the Governors call, Section 5 of which reads as follows:
 ITO consider governmental ma chinery, state, county and municipal, with a view to more closely coordin- ating or abolishing certain agencies and activities and revising expendi- lures in connection herewith
 In a written opinion on this point, Attorney General w. J. Galbraith took the view that this section has nothing whatever to do with the method of electing supervisors, and that therefore the law in question was in his opinion unconstitutional, ill that it did not fail within the cat egory of the call.
 However, the attorney generals office is as anxious as any one to have the matter tested out in the supreme court Saturday inquiry was made at the supreme court con corning the present whereabouts of its members. Chief Justice Ross is now in northern Arizona and Judge Flanigan is in Cochse county, it was learned. Doubt was expressed as to it would be possible to assemble the court and secure a de cision in time to be of any value to anyone, as nomination petitions must be filed by next Saturday.
 The Gila county case grew out of 1 the attempt of Lee A. Martin to file his petition as candidate for super visor from District no. l. The clerk | of the board refused to accept the petition on the grounds that it was n violation of Senate Bill 24, passed | oy the special session. Martin then appealed to the court, who held that he clerk was right.

ANCIENT TREE
 IS LAID LOW
From Suraay's Dai1y)

Falling before the march of civic progress, the ancient cottonwood tree that for many years has shaded the Journal Miner office at the corner of Cortez and Union streets yester- day gave way to the city's program Of street improvements.
 How long that tree had stood on the flat that became Prescott's home before a city workman yesterday laid the axe at its base isj hard to say, but suffice 1t to declare that no living person remembers when the tree was not there. In the early days the level that IS now the plaza was a concealed and sheltered nook in which great pines grew. But under ground water feeding what was in the olden times the town pump, ena- bled this cottonwood tree to flourish It stood taller than any tree left in this part of Prescott.
 The construction of buildings, grading Of streets and finally the lay- ing of a standard sidewalk along the Journal-Miner building up Union street never was permitted to inter fere with the tree It was a sort of institution with the Journal Miner, and 1t was with sorrow that the crew of this newspaper saw that last spring it failed to leaf out i'll its usual vigorous manner. The cutting of some of its roots to make way for the sidewalk was thought to be responsible for its decay. It was un- der this tree that President Taft spoke to Prescott people in 1912, c0unseling them to adopt a simple state constitution.
 City Manager Robinson had de- cided that if the silt that runs down Union street was to be ketp off the new paving, 1t would be necessary to crown up Union and provide gutters that would lead the water into the storm sewers. As the old cotton wood was dying, 1t was thought pro- per to eliminate it during the con- struction of the gutters, but the city took no steps until the Journal-Miner had been asked about 1t.
 The paving was finished to the Union street corner last evening and this morning, it is planned to lay the black stuff across the intersec- ton so as to open up on Monday the free path to the courthouse grounds.
 The laying of concrete base to the corner of Gurley and Montezuma was finished yesterday. Next, the cement machine will start at the bridge and begin working east on Gurley, finishing the entire job of District Mo- 5 at Mount Vernon street.

EDUCATION IS
 WORTH MONEY

The money worth of education, to take just one of its standards, was explained to the Rotary club yester- day by President Duke of the Uni versity of Redlands, a guest and one of the prominent figures in the Bap- tist summer assembly.
 How Cornell found the value of a high school education as the income from $6,0O0 of 5 per cent bonds, and the college education twice that, was described by the speaker. Another criterion was found by examination of the incomes of middle-west farm CTS, to whom a non-technical college education was found to be worth about $1,OOO year in income.
 Maurice Tribby was the boss of yesterdays Rotary meeting, which with its numbers of Phoenix visitors and others, filled the table at the Owl.
 Dr. Howard introduced some of his ministerial guests, each of whom told one good story.

.BYERS TO DROP HIS
 CANDIDACY FOR ONE
 OF THE SUPERVISORS

What effect will the Gila county decision have on the Yavapai super visor district question:
 William Byers, whose nominating petition for district No. 1 was re- jccted by the supervisors, says he will drop all attempts to secure a place on the ballot This decision IS in line with advice said to have been given the candidate by his attorneys, who were engaged in scrutininzing the various laws.
 Clerk Donovan of the board said that so far as the board could take action, the Gila decision ended it. Any move to bring about further jul dicial inquiry into the question would have to be started outside, by a can didate, for instance.
 The concensus of opinion among legal men in the state, including those in official positions, is that one of the three supervisors must hold over in each county.

TRAVEL AT HOME IS
 ADVICE OF ARIZONA
 GIRL 10 ARIZONANS

Why should Arizonans leave Ari-
 zona for their vacations? They don't
 need to, in the opinion of Miss
 Frances Mckee, daughter of Judge
 Nat T. Mckee of 1922 West Monroe street, Phoenix, justice of the peace of the Phoenix precinct and former
 deputy clerk of the federal court. Let business men advocate ."trade at home" Miss McKee's slogan, un- spoken when she visited the chamber of commerce yesterday but plainly discernable in the liveliness with which she described the trip she and her father made down Snibley hill, returning from the canyon, is Travel in your own home state"
 Attired in trouserettes, leggins and khaki shirt and hat, and tanned by Arizona's out-of-doors, Miss Mckee visited the chamber of commerce to learn the condition of the Black Can yon road; and since a northbound traveller earlier in the day had called to inform Secretary Miss Grace M. Sparkes that the Black Canyon road was all right, Miss Sparkes was able to report good travelling conditions.
 Returning with her father from a +a NTArr,,a,, 111r northern points, Miss Mckee report i ed Snibley hill the most direct route south but one offering snares to the adventurous traveller. Two cars were stuck in the mud as they came down he seven-mile hill and it took four tours to pull one car up the grade This was due chiefly to the rains.
 Camping at Mormon lake, where -udge and Miss Mckee camped last ear and where this year they en- oyed three weeks vacation in the ,pen, is the best sport in the world. There are plenty of fish in the lake. The ride from Jerome was Miss IcKee's first trip over the Prescott erome state highway, and she had igh praise for the scenic beauty of he drive. The road was in excellent hape despite the rains, she said.
 Judge and Miss Mckee will con nue their journey to Phoenix this lorning. t

NEW CITIZENS
 TAKE OATES AT
 JUSTICE { BAR

Four new citizens were sworn in by the superior court in a naturaliza- ton session yesterday. They are:
 Harry Osmond Jones, England.
 Andrew Wilfred George Treais, England.
 Maximilian Kasper, Germany.
 Ludwig Barlogio, Switzerland.
 An examination this session of half a score of applicants for final papers disclosed the fact that the successful ones had well prepared themselves to answer the questions usually put to new citizens. Those whose applica- tions yesterday were refused or con- tinued, generally failed because of other than educational failings.
 William Sehl's case, which has been up several times, was dismissed for want of prosecution. Giuseppe Toci was continued. The case of Jose Ruiz, who claimed exemption from the draft and now seeks citizenship was taken under advisement after a rather full hearing. He is proving up on a homestead, and it IS urged by his attorney, A. E. Eldredge, that he claimed exemption under a mis- understanding of the questionnaire.
 Those continued for lack of knowl- edge yesterday were Giglio Diagos- tini, Jesus Casafova, Albert Rau, and Giuseppe Pelia. David Krantz's wit nesses were without knowledge of him for 10 months, and it was ruled substitute witnesses could not be brought in. The petitions of Henry L. Bergman and Daniel D. Murphy were dismissed on motion of the ap- plicants who expect to file new peti- tions.
 Frank D. Anderson, naturalization examiner of the department of jus tice handled the governments side of the cases.

The Durant Four Durability car now touring the northwest reached Vancouver, B. C., July 2Oth, in ex- cellent condition after travelling over 25,OOO miles. The gasoline average of 2lM miles to the gallon was maintained the whole trip, while only one quart of oil was used on. an ave rage of 432 miles.
 When automobiles from the United States enter Canada, it is more dif- flcult to gain admittance than for a foreigner on Ellis Island. Before Canadian officials would let the Du- rant Four run on British soil, the driver had to remove the hood, tire cover, four doors and apply a can opy oyer the back panels of the body
 It was explained that no advertis- ing on motor cars is permitted in British Columbia. With the four doors, hood and spare tire covers packed i'll the rear compartment, the Durant Four proceeded down the main streets of Vancouver, B. C., and attracted hundreds of on-lookers, interested when they heard that the Durant Four Durability car had travelled from Mexico, through Cali fornia, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and part of Montana before arriving in British Columbia.
 After a night out of the United States, the drivers started for Los Angeles, arranging to visit several days in Oakland, the home of the new million dollar Durant motor fac tory and headquarters for the Durant Motor company of California.
