TEMPE FARM BUREAU
ENDORSES ACTION OF
COUNTY SUPERVISORS

TEMPE, May 15.-The Tempe farm
bureau prepared, signed and sent to
the supervisors yesterday q lengthy
resolution, endorsing the board of su-
pervisors' action in helping defray
the expenses of the Bankhead High
way convention and in paying part of
the expense of deporting the Mexi-
cans who came here to pick cotton.
The Tempe farm bureau takes the
stand that the money was wisely and
properly spent in both cases.
Money for Farmers
The Maricopa County National
Farm Loan association is ready to
assist any farmer in getting loan
under the farm loan law. Tempe
farmers are interested in this propo-
sition and will be greatly relieved
by it.
More Cotton
Tempe farmers share in the in
creased acreage put to cotton this
year over last, 10000 instead of 10000
acres last year, which would indicate
that farmers have not yet given up
cotton. The price is a trifle better
and some few bales are being shipped
out every little while.
Rush the Work
Farmers are glad to see the work
on paving progressing so rapidly, as
it means much to some of them who
have to travel the roads every day
hauling milk and other produce. In
some cases farmers are blocked in
and have to make miles of detour.
1t is like all good things: 1t costs to
-ca anh rnaI nd oh
fits.
Plenty Of Ice Cream
The hot weather spells ice cream.
The local ice cream factory is put
ting in new machinery that will turn
out 1000 gallons per day.
"The Old Swimming Hole"
Sunday witnessed a big run on our
municipal swimming pool, the deep
places in the Salt river 1t would
be great if Tempe could get that
swimming pool for the boys and girls,
but after all, it is not so bad in the
river. 1t beats the Town Ditch in
Phoenix.
New Gas Ppe
The city is running new gas pipe
beginning at the Baptist church and
running TO and past the Methodist
church The pipe is being placed in
the alley and will be an improvement
over the old leaky pipe that runs up
Eighth street. improvements will be
made as rapidly as convenient over
the entire system.
Baseball Sunday
It is worth while TO note the in
terest being taken in baseball by the
Mexican population of Tempe, not
only at school but on other days. One
may witness quite a lively game any
Sunday afternoon by the Mexican
boys and it is quite evident to one
interested in the welfare of the grow
ing generation and the condition of
the melting pot" that it is a whole
some and happy way of spending sew
eral hours of idle time. Almost any,
thing is better than idleness. Some
of the older men would be far better
il they played ball rather than loafing
so much of the time in pool halls and
other places.
Harold Austin Returns
Harold Austin came in on the Mon
day morning train from the uni
versity at Berkeley, where he is
Junior. Harold is one of the Tempe
beys and graduated from the Normal
as well as the other Tempe schools.
After spending two weeks with his
parents he will return to California,
where he Will work until school opens
again.
Daily Trains
Any one who is likely to have to
make the trip to Ray or Hayden by
train will be glad to know that there
will be a daily train as in the old
days, leaving Tempe about $3.50 and
returning the same day about 4:30.
X. p. Tonight
Regular meeting of the K. P. lodge
tonight and following the routine
business there will be drill by the
team. All members of the team

faculty will visit the high schools of
the state this week in the interests.
of the Normal and education in gen.
eral. There will be no school at the
