was intercepted at the corner of
Fifth and washington streets'on the
night of March / by band of eight
masked men, forced into a motor car
and was driven out South Central

GLENDALE COTTON
BRINGS HIGHEST
PRICE ON MARKET

GLENDALE, June 19--The busi-
ness mems weekly luncheon held to-
day at noon was quite successful and
in keeping with the ones held pre-
vious. The attendance was very good
and each and every line of business
in town was well represented. each
business man seemingly did his best
to promote a general feeling of good
will.
The luncheon today was in charge
of T. b. Stivers of the Merchants
Lunch Room and everyone present
after eating heartily seemed disposed
to offer topics that would be of gen.
eraI interest to all present. Mr.. Tinker
spoke at length on the general pros
perity of the valley and told of an
experience of recent date while in
Los Angeles. He stated that last
year sum of over one e-quarter of a
million dollars was placed out in this
section OF the valley to aid the cotton
growers dispose of their crops. and
other sections of the valley had their
pro rata and Glendale was the first
town of the valley to pay back this
money to the Los Angeles Clearing
house. Another point also was that
the Glendale cotton through this as
sociation brought the best general
market price of any sold in the val
ley. This certainly brings a most
gratifying feeling to those of this
district who might feel discouraged.
II. ID. Bonsall of the Southwest
Flour and Feed in answer to the
question of why the wheat market
was cents lower here than in Phoe-
NIX, stated that Glendale had no flour

Motorists Here Asked to Join
Careful Crossing Can1naion"

Interest of automobile owners here
has been enlisted in the four months
nation wide Careful Crossing Cam
paign,' through which the American
Railway Association is now seeking
to prevent highway accidents at
grade crossings, involving railroad
trains, vehicles and pedestrians. The
campaign began June /.
Colored posters graphically show
ing motorists the dangers of care
lessness in crossing railroad tracks
are being distributed by the Southern
Pacific company and other western
railroads.
This campaign is similar to the
mo Accident" campaign conducted
by the railroads last year and which
showed remarkable decrease in
grade crossing accidents.
Railroad officials who have given
the subject of grade crossing acci-
the opinion that the prevention of
such accidents is largely matter of
educating drivers of automobiles,
both as to the hazards and as to the
necessity for exercising caution.
Commenting on this, r. j. Clancy,
assistant to the general manager of
the Southern Pacific. said: "Acci-
dents at grade crossings are largely
due to carelessness on the part of
drivers. At grade crossings on the
Southern Pacific during the last four
years ending December 81, 1921, 2,755
automobiles were damaged or de-
stroyed, 20S people were killed and
921 injured.
at is interesting and helpful to a
solution of this problem to know the
manner in which these accidents oc
cured: 1890 ran on track in front
of train, indicating that many of
them tried to beat train to the cross
ing, resulting in 1S5 fatalities and 569
injuries; 676 ran into the side of
train instead of the train into them,
resulting in 13 deaths and 253 in

nature
Baseball
Baseball in Glendale is giving out
the general atmosphere of being on
the wane. In their game yesterday
the Greys lost to the Woodmen by
a score of IA to s. The game was
very good in spots. but on a general
average was far below the game that
has been put up in the past by the
local boys AS part explanation of
this, it might be stated that other
towns of the valley have made it
business to secure talent and then
obtain positions for the players and
in other ways support the club.
Glendale is making the game the best
they know how with the available
material and at times it is very dis
couraging to lose game after game as
has been done for the past month
local team has lost so many games
that they do not draw a crowd of
sufficient size to insure expenses. II
this condition is to be remedied. it
will have to be done at once or Glen
dale will cease to be known as
factor in the valley baseball race.
Take Turns In Closing
The managenlents of Walkers
Service station. Sine Bros, Grand
Ave. Service station and Glendale
Garage have made an agreement
whereby only one of them will re-
main open on Sunday. the other three
closed throughout the day
Thus all those people of Glendale
who wish this kind of service on Sun
days will have to go to the one that
is open.

guards, warning signs, and other pro-
tective devices, resulting in one

THE cause of these accidents is
made clear by the manner in which
they occurred. If 20S people We're
killed and 921 injured in a railroad
accident it would be appalling to
everyone. 1t is no less appalling
when this aggregate is attained by
compounding periodical results. The
analyst clearly discerns the cause of
these accidents to be carelessness
which may be remedied by the exer-
else of proper Judgment on the part
of drivers of automobiles. In other
words before attempting to cross the
tracks of a railroad drivers of auto
mobiles should stop look in both di-
rections and listen and while waiting
for train to clear crossing where
there Is more than one track. should
make sure that a train is not APP

tion at the most would rarely re-

Bronze of Hanged
Spy Gets New Place

NEW YORK. June 19-The Mac
Monnies monument of Nathan Hale
was moved yesterday from the south
east corner of city hall to place
within the park facing Broadway and
Murray street and in the shadow of
the Liberty Pole.
The huge bronze of the Revolution
ary hero was originally placed at
Broadway and Mail street. 1t was
moved from its first site in 1912 when
it was feared the IL tons of bronze
would tumble into the Broadway sub
way.
Ever since the removal from Mail
street and Broadway. politicians have
referred to the original site as the
spot where the captain of the Con-
necticut Rangers was hanged by the
British as spy. The fact is that
he was executed in the orchard of

NATIONAL GUARD IS
STARTING CAMPAIGN
To INCREASE RANKS

With the building of the state ar
mory in this city an assured fact, the
local national guard organizations
are arranging an intensive campaign
to fill their ranks to the full. author
lied peace strength.
Having this in view, Capt. J. II. B.
Croaff, commanding Company A,
15Sth Infantry, invites all who are in
terested in the national guard to
look into the possibilities that this
part of the national defense offers.
The new armory will have club
rooms for officers and enlisted men,
shower baths and rifle range, amuse-
ment rooms and gymnasium equip
ment, sufficient to gladden. the hearts
of any and all who love sport and
believe in a real earnest endeavor
to serve their state and country in
time OF peace.
The indoor rifle range which will
he installed should in itself be a suf-
ficient incentive to men who are
eligible to enlist in the organizations
which will control it's use. Many of
the guardsmen themselves who have
been unable because of their business
connections to attend the. range
practice at the state range at Papago
park, will find the indoor range to be
of great value. One of the greatest
needs of any community is a place
where young men may meet, where
cleanliness is not only a virtue but a
matter of training.
The nationa guard of Arizona Of
fers all the advantages of a soldier
plus the good fellowship of his own
buddies at the armory.
A non commissioned officer of
Company A will be at the present
armory quarters at 240 West Jeffer-
son street at all times during the
coming month to talk with prospec-
tive recruits for his organization and
give any information regarding the
national guard

UP by two men and a woman. he
explained to an officer detailed to
investigate the case that he had seen

him to move along. He said he
