HOME DEMONSTRATION CONFERENCES SURVEY NEED FOR THAT WORK

Conferences on home demonstra- ton work in the nature of a survey to determine the wants and needs of Yavapai county housewives in con ! nection with the home demonstration work of the University of Arizona S agricultural extension service arc be- ing conducted here this week by Miss Roberta Sinclair. Conferences have already been held at Kirkland, Skull Valley and Miller Valley and one will be held today at the Little Chino Valley schoolhouse and one tomorrow at Camp Verde.
 Miss Sinclair, she explained yes terday to representative of the Journal-Miner, is just now trying to explain to the women of the county the work of the home economic de- pertinent and to find out what they want and expect from that work.
 "So many people" she said, "have the mistaken idea that we are only teaching how to can fruit, but our work is really extensive. We want 10 find out the needs of the county for our department and to make all effort to meet them"
 Miss Sinclair will be in Yayapai until the opening of the Northern Arizona State Fair. If a sufficient interest is shown in the work, it is possible that she or another Home demonstration agent will be able to devote six months a year to the work in Yavapai. "Maricopa," she explained, "is the only county which has all agent all year"
 Those interested in the work and wishing to learn more about it may communicate with Miss Sinclair thru the office of County Agricultural Agent (. U. Pickrell, in the base ment of the court house.

WITH POLES GONE,
 GURLEY STREET ISA
 NEW THOROUGHFARE
From Frloay's Daily)


 1 UnobScurcd by weather-beaten tele- phone poles, Prescott's ornamental electric light standards along Gurley street now challenge the eye of the beholder Workmen of the Mountain States Telephone & Telegraph com pany yesterday finished dismantling the poles and tearing them down. ! The wires are all safely packed into conduits laid underground along Cur ley at a cost of $15,000, and the fact that Prescott has. a modern and up- to-date telephone service need no longer obtrude itself unpleasantly upon the public sight.
 Because Gurley street is the main east and west artery through Pres colt, the electric wires were of necessity strung along that street. Twenty years ago the presence of splintered wooden poles right thru the heart of the town may not have seemed out of keeping with the rest of the picture. But the poles proved unsightly to 1922 Prescott; and when the electric light standards were set up, it was found that person stand ing on the corner was unable 10 see and appreciate them precisely be- cause of the telephone poles.
 So down came the poles, after of ficials of the Mountain States T. & T. had been persuaded by the city council and Harry Raber, local com pany manager.

ALI ARIZONA
 SHOULD STUDY
 THE COLORADO
Paul Keefe Tells Rotary Club Direct Connection Between River Development and Pre- sent Proposition of Taxes.


 Citizens of Arizona who are all in-
 terested in the advancement of the
 state must inform themselves about ] the Colorado river development, as the harnessing of that stream is by all odds the most important work the southwest will ever know.
 Paul C. Keefe, Jerome business man and speaker of the last house, yesterday showed the Rotary club
 how the subject of Colorado river development is allied to taxes. And
 taxes, he said in introducing that as his subject, concern everybody just now.
 MT. Keefe backed up the argu- Iments of Governor Campbell two years ago that in time the mines of the southwest will exhaust them selves, and the state must be pre- pairing itself for the time when the rich revenue now available from minerals is gone where the wood bine twineth.
 But so long as Arizona can tax its mines for the necessary expenses of government, and at the same time add a reasonable amount to bring about development of other natural resources, 1t must do it, for the chance will pass.
 Not enough knowledge is possessed by the average businessman about the Colorado river proposition, MT. Keefe said. It is Up to the people to get hold of all the information they can, for they will need it some day. He was not, the speaker said, saying anything for or about any of the various plans of river develop ment.
 Like other speakers, who have been heard here recently, MT. Keefe declared that it was futile to expect to reduce state taxes very much. Economy is being practiced every where it may, and this fact, to- gether with the formation of finan- cial system in the state house, has resulted in a liberal cut in the state tax rate, this year. But, he declared, no great cuts in state expenditures may be expected, for out of all the money Arizona spends, 55 per cent goes to schools alone.
 There is now on foot a movement to bring about sharper economies in the school system, but this is not at the expense of efficiency. Miss Elsie Toles, the present state superintend- ent, is battling for the abolition of her office as an elective one, and the substitution of a state school board, to appoint the superintendent.
 Mir. Keefe said that gradual econ omies could be expected from the adoption of Miss Toles' plan.
 Gary Vyne, chairman of the meet ng, introduced MT. Keefe. He also Mir. Dave and Mir. Russ, l couple of Musical Rotes, who played and sang, and then, smarting 1nder the accusation that he had not given his program time to get itself | ogether, he called on Harry Diehl of Phoenix and said Harry had had whole half hour to get primed and locked. The Phoenician spoke brief y but tellingly on the Rotary mission 'f fellowship, and praised the work or the boys of this year-old club.
 Vice President Lester said the 'oard of directors had decided to i've:
 (a) A birthday party two weeks ence with He'd Aiken in charge.
 (b) A minstrel show the middle f November, and
 Co An attendance campaign with lob Byrns and Frank Brown as op- osing captains. EHNT6nnH OmNnNN
