COLDEST NOVEMBER IN
 YEARS-RANGE BETTER

Six inches of snow covered the range in the vicinity of Flagstaff at the end of the storm on Friday and a depth of three to four inches was general over the more important graz ing areas. Unusually cold weather followed the storm, the severest for the season in many years, causing considerable shrinkage of stock. Light snow fell in southwestern New Mexico improving conditions in that section; according to the weather bureau cat tie are reported good and the water supply plentify. Condition of stock and range is also reported good in the White Mountain region but poor on the northeastern plateau and at Selig- man and Thatcher. Stock and range are reported fair at Douglas, Nogales, Prescott and Williams.
 Arriving nearly a month ahead of average, the first killing frost of the season in most southern and central valley, that of November and 9th, established two records; the earliest killing frost and new minimum tenn peratures for those dates. Coming so early the cold weather did consider able damage. This was especially true of the rank cotton grown in the low damp areas; there but a relatively small per cent had opened and large proportion of the unopened bolls were immature; such cotton suffered se- verely. Most growers in the higher districts report their cotton well ma tured, more so than average and ac- cordingly little damaged. The short staple men voice the opinion that the freeze is all they needed to open up the bolls nearly all of which are ripe beyond the point of injury. The cold, windy weather slowed up picking op- erations and in places whipped the locks out of the husks making the picking more difficult. More than | half of the crop is now harvested.
 Nearly half of the potato crop is still in the ground in the Flagstaff section and unless warm weather comes soon much of it will be lost. Killing frost occurred Saturday morn- ing in the lower portions of the Yuma Valley doing some damage to cotton and grand sorghums,

COWS VIOLATE VOLSTEAD
 AND DIE MILK PUNCH DEATH

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.-The increas- ing popularity of the mountain var iety of Alabama "moonshine" was effectively demonstrated during the hearing of case in Judge J. G.. Smiths division of the circuit court here. Evidence adduced also brought out the fact that a new field has op- ened up for the activities of the pro- hibition forces.
 Briefly, "extract of corn," according to testimony offered, is now finding addicts among the bovine species.
 Three ordinary milk cows belonging to Henry Culp, of Shades mountain, left as usual one morning for their customary pasturage. With the shades of evening two or three returned home in a deplorably intoxicated con- dition, one of them dying later of acute alcoholism.
 Investigators found the third mem- Der of the bovine booze party, dead, close by an illicit still.

LEGION CONVENTION
 A GREAT SUCCESS

Now that the American Legion con- vention of 1922 has passed into his tory and the Legionnaires have re- turned to their homes, commendation of their conduct while here may be recorded without inviting doubt of it's sincerity. Praise of a guest in his presence and hearing may raise in some minds questions of it's honestly may be set down as flattery, or "pol- icy play" or perfunctory courtesy. Suspicious like these are disarmed in large degree when comment upon the guest and his conduct is reserved un- til after his departure.
 Rumors of misconduct at the Kan sas City assembly last year reached New Orleans in advance of this years convention here. Rumors of miscon- duct may be expected to reach San Francisco before the "buddies" fore gather there next October. Because of these things it is only fair to set down here and now The Times-Pica- yune's candid estimate of the great convention held here last week. We think that our expression faithfully

reflects the general community view.
 The leglonnalreS as a body earned the good opinions even of those few Orleanians who because of rumors of miSdoings at Kansas City were slight ly preJudiced in advance against the gatherings. Throughout American Le- zion week good humor and good order prevailed. The rare instances of mi nor rowdyism or ruffianism served only as exceptions going to prove the general rule of splendid behavior and of these exceptions some, perhaps the majority - were chargeable to local hoodlums who took advantage of the legion festivities to misbehave in the hope that their offense would be charged to the visitors account. In so large an assembly some impostors, crooks and evil doers are almost in variably found but the careful work of the legion officials and the local police simply restrict the activities of these undesirables.
 Of harmless Thigh ink" there was, of course, a joyous abundance. New Orleans, with its carnival traditions, shared in the fun of it all and re- joiced in the hilarity which testified that the lads of the legion were hav- ing good time. Of wanton offense and of malicious mischief, American Legion week was remarkably free. The wish expressed by The Times Pic ayune last Saturday morning-that the legionnaires would carry to their homes "recollections of the conven- tion as pleasant as those they leave with us"-came straight from the heart.
 By way of conclusion let us say that great credit and high praise are due to the legion officials, local and gen eral, who organized the convention ar engagements and supervised its affairs throughout the week, and to the New Orleans police department, whose handling of the crowds and the mem- orable parade won the thanks and ap- preciation of visitors and home folks alike. New Orleans is proud and glad to have had the opportunity to enter tain the legionnaires and heartily con graduates San Francisco upon it's capture of the honor for 1923.

BOY, PAGE DIOGENES!
 HONEST MAN IS FOUND

Out in his little shack in the moun- tains Lorenzo Chavez, a Mexican wOodchopper, has been wrestling with a deep, intricate problem for days. He pondered over the matter, but no sol- ution seemed to appear.
 Some time ago he bought eight bur ros from Jesus Acevido, for $70, pay ing $50 down, and receiving bill of sale for the animals.
 Then something happened, Acevido died in the county hospital and Cha veg heard the news.
 When should he pay? He felt that he ought to pay someone, but who he could not tell.
 Finally he decided to come in and pay his $20 to the county authorities. He arrived in the city yesterday, bringing the money.
 He was sent to Judge Hinson Thomas of the municipal court who talked the matter over with him. He was told that there was no one at present to whom he could pay, and that he must wait until some legal claim was made on him.
 Chavez started home with his mon- ey and his burros, but his conscience was satisfied.

 BURIED IN SCRAP HEAP

Deputies sheriff tried to identify the partially decomposed body, ap- parently that of a Chinese, found crudely buried beneath a pile of cor rugated iron strips and other debris in the Salt River bottom near the foot of Seventh street, Phoenix.

PRINTING DISPUTE APPEALED

The record of appeal in the case of the Mesa Mail Publishing company, publishers of the Mesa Tribune, against the Maricopa county board of supervisors, was filed in the supreme court Monday. The publishing com pany last July brought suit against the supervisors for a writ of man damus to compel them to publish the county budget for 12 consecutive times in the Tribune in accordance with contract held by that paper for the county printing. At hearing of the case, Judge Jenckes ordered that the alternative writ of mandamus is- sued be quashed and the petition dis missed. It is to this order that the publishing company is appealing. The supervisors contend that the law re- quires that the budget be published only once each week for two weeks. The company claims that it should be published daily for two weeks.

Like the Romans in Our Architecture.

| We are like the Romans in that we
disdain everything which does not per-
form useful function in our great
business system, which takes the place
of the Roman political system. We,
/, like the Romans, trouble ourselves
little to know whether certain form
! is in harmony with the true principles
of art (which was the great concern
Of the Greek, Byzantine, and medieval
architects) We care not to discuss,
like the Greeks, whether our opinions
are logically deduced With the Ro-
mans, we demand but one thing, that
our architecture shall be a symbol OF
our grandeur and success; and, more
especially, that it shall agree with our
business system and be a useful work.
exactly filling prescribed program.
These facts do not, of course, apply
to all types of construction, nor to the
works of all architects. There are GER
tain buildings, such as residences and
churches. which are largely immune
from these conditions. Similarly,
there are certain architects high up in
the profession who have q deep regard
for harmonious forms, logical CON
struction, outline. light and shade and
other concerns Of true art And it is
precisely because they do not concern
themselves with these matters that
they stand so high in the profession.
But, taking a general average Of condi-
tons, our similarity in these respects
to the Roman is, | think, evident And
furthermore the Romans had as many
exceptions as ourselves to these condi-
tions and it is in thse very exceptions
that we find the best examples Of their
