EGGS POPULAR

traction.

At this season the daily consump- |
ton Of eggs reaches n staggering |
figure. This is doubtless due to three |
big factors-a natural desire TO cut |
down the amount OF heavy meat 80

tho fine average quality OF tho eggs
now reaching the market; tho low
price at which those choice eggs sell.

Did II ever occur TO you that the

phosphoroue and iron in available

against contamination and aduItera-
ton? That the egg is not only a good
food but is safe food az we'll?
One may ask why It is that egg
prices vary so widely at different sea-
sons OF the year. The explanation
lies in the operation Of the old law of
supply and demand. When all hens
are laying heavily, eggs are always
relatively cheap because there is q
surplus OF production. But when egg
production falls off. when the avail
, able supply is less than the normal de-
mand. prices increase.

ARMlSTICE DAY DEFEAT

The local Hi Football team met their Waterloo last Sat- urday when they went up against the Prescott team, the resulting score being 61---0. The team for some reason seemed be ''blow,up" and didn't get back to earth a. gain until it was all over but the shouting. We do not wish to seem to offer alibis when we are beaten and prefer ranking as good losers but we must rise to remark that three football games in one week is a rather stren- uous program for young boys and may account iE some measure for their poor showing in this game, inas- much also as their last game was the very hardest and they were pretty we'll tired by that time.

INSTALL NEW ENGINE
 AT PLANT

The Electric Light and Power Company under the able management of Ken. meth Myers, has just install. ed a new and powerful en. zine at the local plant. Mir. Myers purchased the mach. inery on his recent trip to the Coast. It is of a very powerful type and upon ex- pertinent seems fully capable of delivering the needed power.
 The switch was made Sun- day evening from the old engine to the new and rspult- ed in some rather amusing features. Electricity is a mighty tricky thing. Scien. lists seem to know what it can do but not always when or how. Especially is it, like most of us, contrary in the bosom of it's own. personal family. You know there are two Electricity Twins called Positive and Negative and they have minds of their own.
 So last Sunday night they decided when the new en- zine had been installed that they would have a little fun on their own hook. So they picked out the wrong wire and hopped on it and as a result the next morning every motor in town ran backwards, which resulted in many amusing situations.
 However Mir. Baird soon changed the motors and now Sulky Negative and Pouting Positive are doing their work in proper style.

NORTHERN MANAP. POINTED STATE
 ENGINEER

We understand that M r F. R. Goodman of Flagstaff has been offered the posi- tion of State Highway En- gineer. No one could be found who in our estimation would fill the office half so acceptably as Mr. Goodman. He is painstaking in his work, and has the rare ia. culty of stretching dollars and so economizing without retarding work. We also consider him one of the most straight forward and square men we have ever known. His work as evi. denced ill the northern part of the state is proof suffici' ent of his ability as an engi. neer.
 We can only hope that Mir. Goodman will accept the responsibility of his posi-. tion and help make Arizona Highways worth while.

Mrs. Thornton, in addition to visiting the oil field with her husband, went out into the Navajo country for a de- lightful trip on Tuesday of this week.
