Manager A. L.. Fill Is behind the job of seeing that the truckioads of cream arrive right at the moment when the delicacies are most needed. and when everybody feels like he'd just expire if he didn't have some nice and thrillingly cool.
 Not stingy
 None of your snide sort of giving Is the habit of the Chapin-Sacks cor poration. What they say in com munications to the various charitable institutions to which they will con- tribute Is, in effect:
 "Tell us how many there are in your family. Don't be scared to name the number, because we beg the privi- lege of participating in your Fourth of July by sending out plentiful supply Of ice cream"
 Did you get the word "plentiful?" Gosh, who wants just enough ice cream to put in his eye? Isn't this a big old rich country-rich enough to take care of those who require things; grateful enough to offer gifts to those who serve the whole people, and who stand ready for service each night and day? The Chapin- Sacks corporation feels like it doesn't want, to be selfish enough to freeze into, itself. clutch its pennies, and forget that there are several hundred little children and older men and women they can make glad.
 There's one thing. They'll never have to squeeze through the eye of that needle to get to Heaven!
 These are the organizations Manag- CT Fill, with the biggest heart In the world, will dispatch ice cream

HAS MORE URBAN HOMES THAN
 NEW MEXICO STATE
(From satur6ay-s pallyl

There are almost twice as many rural dwellings in Arizona as there are urban homes, according to the re- port of the census made in 1920, says a bulletin from Southwestern District Forester Frank C. w. Pooler, of Al buquerque, to the Prescott National forest service office, yesterday.
 According to the census report, there were in 1920 73,673 dwellings in this state, 4S,7O9 classed as rural, and 24,964 as urban. In New Mex leo, there were 78,024 dwellings, 64,- 113 rural and 13,9l1 urban. Thus, although New Mexico has 1851 more dwellings than Arizona, and 15,404 more rural dwellings, this state would show more advanced type of civili- zation through the fact that it has lL653 more urban dwellings than its neighbor.

 Committee Asks a Reduction
CFrom saturday.s nany1

The stage rate. to Whipple Bar racks is to remain at $ cents for the round trip and 25 cents one way, under decision of the Arizona cor roration commission, it was reported here yesterday by John J. Stills, one of the proprietors of the Whipple Stage Line, which holds a franchise to operate between Prescott and the post.
 In the light of facts and figures presented to the commission at Phoe- nix by the company, Stills said, the commission decided to allow the 35- cent rate to remain in force while the situation is investigated further The rate will remain" said Stills,
 until the commission has been con rinced that the present service can be given at a lower tariff.
 According to Stills, the present ire luent service in popular demand can not be maintained at rate lower than that now charged. "It is doubt ,ul," he said, whether the stage service could be furnished Whipple it all for 25-ccnt round-trip rate"
 Mir. Callahan, a member of the patients committee of Fort Whipple, las gone to Phoenix, invested by
 he committee with authority to look nto the matter of the recent order 'f the corporation commission reduc- ng the stage rate. The patients members said yesterday. insists that the rate be reduced.

Advisory Board Assured City
 Can and Will Take Care of Budget Asked by Visiting Staff Officer for Corps Work Here

The sight of three Salvation Army uniforms on the streets already has brought activity to the camp. Staff Captain Bradley, chief speaker at yes :erday's meeting of the advisory hoard, where 1t was intimated that he thought Prescott would be negli- { ent about raising S3,0OO g year for the local corps, was not to be enter t; ined twice. announced that if the army workers were 10 get to work at once, they would find plenty to do.
 Arrangements for, financing the corps, finding a place for meetings and the dispensing of lodging and meals to the needy. were discussed. FleGges were given by the pastors of two churches ct monthly funds for the cause, the Rev. E. J. Dunlap Of the Baptist,and E. E. Wall of the West Side Methodist, responding right under the gun with promises ot $l0 each. He'd Aitken said he know the money could all be raised; i; those he represented preferred their good works to be like those of the Elks, done on the quiet Exalted Ruler Herndon of the local Elks pledged assistance and discoursed briefly on the charity work of the order; the proudcst thing he was of, he said, was the wide demand for Elk assistance.
 Judge Sweeney, presiding, outlined the purpose of the meeting and Cap tain Bradley gave very interesting history of the Salvation Army work at Fl Paso. He is to establish Cadet Summervile here as the local worker.
 Mrs. C. E. Ryckman said it was against orders to solicit at the post, but that she had been told officially that the people there from high to low, were too grateful to the Salva- ton Army ever to permit an oppor- tunity to go by without giving a little help.

 Signed and sealed agreements be- tween the many parties to the con struction of the 41z-miIe federal aid approach road into Prescott, are be- iieved to be ready at Phoenix by reason of reports reaching here yes terday. Shep Hiscox's crew of state road builders at Coyote Wash, may any day be ordered to Prescott to shovel and dirt that will give this city a new outlet.
 The job was called for in adver- tisements for bids on the Granite creek bridge last November, but then the chamber of commerce got busy and obtained the consent of the war and other departments to build the road into town by way of the reservation south of Whipple Bar racks. That move invalidatcd the earlier surveys and a delay has en- sued while the engineers were wait ing to get the new plans approved in Washington.
 Hiscox, who was 1T. town yester- day, did not know anything positive about the matter but admitted that he also had heard the rumor.
 There is 2,4O0 feet more-six days work--on the surfacing job in Lone some valley. Then there is about i,700 feet of patching to be done be- tween the Ash Fork turn and the cattle guard near Granite Dclls From that time on the crew has nothing to do, unless the inlet plans arc actually approved as reported and instructions come for the camp to move over and get busy.

TRIO OF ARTISTS
 SURE TO PLEASE,
 SAYS BERT HILTON
From Rriday,s nssyl

'T really believe" says Bert Triton of the Music Store, that the appear ance in Prescott, March 9th of Helen Davis, mezzo soprano; Victor Young, composer pianist, and Samuel Hun gerford, violinist, will be one of the greatest musical treats music lovers of this vicinity have ever had an op- portunity to hear. All three artists ccme to us highly recommended.
 Miss Davis is one of the most popular singers on the concert plat form. During the past season she ap- peared in 40 cities. Her popularity is easily understood, as she possesses musicianship, a delightful voice, and rare physical charms. Miss Davis before entering the concert field was soloist in several of New York's lead ing churches and for two summer seasons was a member of the Artist Quartctte at Ocean Grove auditor ium, New Jersey. She is one of the artists giving concerts via wireless at the w. J. z. broadcasting radio station in Newark, N. J. These con ecrts reach an audience of 100000 within a radius of 800 miles of New ark.
 "Mr. Young, the pianist, has ap- pcared in concert for years with sew eral well known artists such as Anna Case, Alice Verlet, Mario Laurent, and others. His songs have found a place on the programs of numerous singers.
 "Mr. Hungerford while still very young is an accomplished violinist. He plays with deep musical under standing, possessing tone of un- usual deptl and beauty"

TWO VALUES ON RAILROADS BY
 DEMO BOARDS
Corporation Commissions Fig ure for Revenue Is Higher Than That of Tax Commission on Which System Pay e;
cJournal-Mlner capital Rureaul

PHOENIX, Feb. l0-The railroads of Arizona are escaping taxation on millions of dollars worth of valua- tions, thanks to a democratic tax commission.
 Either that or the railroads are be- ing allowed to get away with ficti- tious valuation in order to boost their 6 per cent earning as high as possible, and if this is the case, they Can thank d democratic corporation commission.
 This is the impression which one IS bound to get upon comparison of the valuation figures on file in the corporation commission with these ill the tax commission. If the fax commission is lllowing the roads to get away with under-valuations it sts nds to reason that the burden of the average taxpayer is increased just that much. If it is case of the roads over-valuing their proper ties, then the general public pays an indirect tax in the way of in creased fares and rates.
 Just why there should be such d great disparity i'll the valuation fig ures Is a matter which the rate de- partment of the corporation commis- sion do not attempt to explain. Sui flee it to say there is, as shown by the following:
 The Arizona Eastern railroad places its book valuation at $15,000,- GOO in round numbers. The inter state commerce commission fixes the value at $l1,000,000, but allows it to earn G per cent on basis of its own valuation less 8 per cent or $l3,800,- GOO. And in the face of these figures On file ill the corporation commis- SAN'i4 f'N ~O'iiPohJ PUy No-NSS Oi' CH'- $l0,000,000 worth of property. In cidentally, the railroad claims SIS miles of track, while they arc as sesscd for 266 miles only From this it will be seen that the tax com has apparently lost ? miles of railroad /
 In like manner the Santa Fe claims valuation of $56,OO0,O0O oil the SIP miles of railroad in Arizona, but is taxed only on valuation of $37, 100000
 The Fl Paso & Southwestern claims valuation of $26l 100000, but is taxed only on $ll,OOO,0OO worth of property.
 The Southern Pacific carries q book valuation of $4S,OoOOOO but Is taxed only on $3O,OOO00O worth of
