HENRY SCORSE RETURNS

MT. Henry Scorse return ed early this week from an extended stay at the Scorse properties in the southern part of the state. Mr. Scorse tells us that during his stay at the ranch near Florence there was a fall of snow that measured at least three inches. This was an unprecedented happening as the oldest settler in the val ley had never before seen snow in that locality. The lambing season however has been good, and the fruit was undamaged. The desert is one mass of glowing peoples and desert flowers so he says.

 Dear sir:
 I ain in receipt of a copy of the Holrook News in which it is sug gested that the work in Navajo County is being delayed by this De partm ent.
 Believing that you may be inter ested in the facts in the matter I an submitting the following informa- ton on these projects:
 Federal Aid was requested by the Arizona Highway Department or Federal Aid Project No. 40-HUl- brook -Winslow-in a project state ment on October 2Sth, 1921. This was returned to us for correction on December 22nd and resubmitted on December 2Sth. The Federal Aid requested amounts to approximate SS5 ,000 and the State and County funds to approximate S53.000. Plans and specifications for this project were submitted to the Bureau on De- cember 23rd. giving the width of roadway as 20 feet.

WONDERFUL DISCOVERY IN PETRIFIED FOREST
Did Prehistoric People Wear False Teeth? Antiquaries
 Please Answer

We have seen various odd exhibits originating in the Petrified Forest. Things that the discoverers present ed as petrified snakes, nuts and other strange oddments. But 1t remained for a motor party last Sunday, made up of Mr. and Mrs. D. w. Eas- ley, Ar. Toelle and his moth- CT, to bring in the prize re- lie.
 It is a sure enough set of lower teeth, complete and intact, of finest porcelain and gutta percha dental manufacture. We cannot believe that any touristcould be careless enough to lose a good set of lower teeth and be totally unaware of the fact. Indeed a set of teeth would seem almost too inti- mate a piece of wearing ap- parel, if it might be called such, to be lost unperceived. So if this hypothesis is deni- ed us only two others re- main.
 First it must have been worn by some of the ancient cliff Jewellers in one of their numerous trips to the forest in search of arrow tips. If so the ancient one was evil dently a devotee of the pipe for the teeth are worn eX- actly where the stem of a pipe would naturally be held. At least that is what one Sherlock Holmes told us. Indeed, the cliff dwellers must have been much farth- eradvanced than we thought possible to, have had such expert dentists among them. But if the scientists refute this theory we can only ad- vance our last one.
 Dr. Switzer must have planted them out there as an advertisement of his up- to-dace dental laboratory. However if some one else lost them and can indentify the fourteen teeth making up the set, and if the teeth know their masters voice, said person will receive them flom the finders without re- ward.
 Query: How could a per son lose a whole set of teeth and not know it?

PLUMB IS MAKING
 HEROIC STRUGGLE:
 CONDITION: BETTER
Improvement Begins When Leg Is Amputated to Check Gangrene
 Complication.

Glenn E. Plumb, counsel for the organized railway empolyes of Amer ica, has resisted a seemingly fatal malady and is now recovering. Un- less the unforeseen intervenes, Mr. Plumb will ultimately resume the ac- tivities which have given him an in ternational reputation.
 Four weeks ago physicians in at tendance upon MT. Plumb gave up hope of saving his life. He had for many weeks been suffering from a weakening of the muscles that seri- ously interfcred with his blood cir culation. His left leg had become gangrenous, which seriously compli- cated his condition.
 On the slim chance that the re- moval of the leg would save his life, amputation was decided upon, and three weeks ago MT. Plumb was taken 10 the Georgetown Hospital and was operated upon. To the sur prise of his physicians, he success fully came through the ordeal and since has been on the mend.
 While still in a very serious state improvement in his general condition, due to his tremendous vital re- sources encourages MT. Plumb's physicians to hope that he will be completely restored.

 DARK, AYERS MILAN
New York's Mayor Exposes Scheme to Prevent Producers From
 Getting Ahead.

Inadequate school facilities in New York City, Mayor Hylan told railroad men at a political rally held in Brooklyn, are the fruit of a systema- tic effort on the part of organizations of capital and Big Business to with hold education from the workers. The Rockefeller Foundation was accused of having had part in this conspir- acy.
 The object of these interests, de clarcd Mayor Hylan, is to deny to sons of Working1nen the opportunity to advance beyond the trades or call ing of their fathers In other words, Big Business seeks, by reprcssing education, to keep a full labor market from which to draw it's supplies ! This statement was made before a rally of the Political Boosters Club of Brooklyn, under the direction oi the Brotherhood of Locomotive En~ gineers and the Ladies' Auxiliary. II was called to stimulate interest i:. W'i%ec~ participation in politics.
 Among the speakers Was Herman E. Wills, vice grand chief and Wash- ingtOn legislative representative oi the brotherhood
 MT. Wills stated that not many years ago it was considered a danger Ous thing for members of organized labor 10 discuss politics in connection with their meetings. Today, he said 1t is d dangerous thing for the mem bcrS of organized labor to omit d proper discussion of the political is sues of the day.
 "Changes that have come about" he added, "have brought us face to face with legislation that attempts to set the rate of pay to be received for services rendered" and he deemed it necessary for the workers to see that legislation does not cnCroach upon their rights.
 MT. Wills urged his hearers to reg ister and vote and to counsel and ade wise with each other as to the most intelligent methods to be pursued

facts upon which the final settlement will be made.
 The resolution adopted by the Sen ate specifically directs the Secretary of Commerce to tell what action has been taken by the United States through it's governmental agencies to terminate the strike, and what action, if any, has been taken to protect the consumer of coal from paying ex- orbitant prices by reason of curtail- ment of production.
 Secretary Hoover, at conference with coal operators, stated that he would assume full responsibility for fixing prices, which the operators claimed they were restrained from do- ing by antitrust laws.
 The prices suggested by MT. Hoov- CT follow generally those established by Fuel Administrator Garfield dur ing the war, and which permitted the mine owners to take exorbitant prof it's.
 In spite of this generous treat ment, many operators have not yet indicated an }ltention Of keeping prices within the prescribed bounds

BOSSES RAID CRADLE
 FOR CHEAP WORKERS

Robbing cradles for cheap child labor is a charge laid against en- ployers by the Children's Bureau of the Federal Department of La bor. Children from the ages of 5 to I5, numbering many thousands, are being tied to machines in their homes, to the detriment of so- ciety, it IS pointed out in a recent statement from the bureau.
 Studies made in three Rhode Island cities revealed that at least 5000 children under 16 years of age had done home work in the course of year. Four per cent. were under six years of age and 46 per cent. under II years. Chil- dren of school age remained at home occasionally or for extended periods to do home work contrary to the compulsory school attend ance law of Rhode Island.
 Half of the children thus em- ploycd did not make as much as five cents an hour, and four-hfths made under 10 cents an hour
 The same thing is being done in Connecticut very largely. Perhaps some day the Children's Bureau will show 1t up here also.

Wilcox 6, White Plant to Be Oper- ated by Purchaser and Some
 Parts Leased Out

Merdcn, June 16-Fears that the Wilcox & White plant, which ordni- arily employed from 400 to 500 hands would be closed indefinitely and Meriden lose an industry were dis pelled this week when C. C. Conway of New York and Boston piano firm who purchased the property at the auction sale some weeks ago, an nounced that the industry would be retained at least in part. The plant will be re-opened soon for the manu- facture of master records and other attachments used by his firm, but with ho wmany employees nor how rapid an increase, MT. Conway is not prepared to say.
 The entire plant will not be used by MT. Conway's firm but a large section will be leased to any. such manufacturing concern as can adapt it. It is understood that several firms have already made tentative ar engagements to start business in parts of the shop and therefore Meriden workers will have another opportun- ity to secure employment.
