ARIZONA CATTLEMEN ARE REPRESENTED BY
 BOiCE AT GATHERING

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 1S-Three improvements in the livestock in dustry to put livestock financing on a better basis and attract capital into the industry were recommended by Eugene Meyer Jr., managing di. rector of the war finance corpora tion, in an address here today to stockmen from California, Oregon, Nevada and Arizona
 These were licensed livestock in spectors to furnish reports on which livestock financing could be done, a uniform system of protecting brands and titles to livestock and federally chartered explorations financing live stock loan companies.
 Mir. Meyer said the federal ad- ministration is ready to cooperate in advertising and supervising the necessary financial machinery. In- cluded in the stockmen attending the meting were B. C. Boice presi- dent of the Arizona cattle growers association and L. E. Dillingham;, sec retary of the Idaho State Cattle and Horse Growers Association.

HAVE THE MINERS TURNED INTO
 GARAGE MECHANICS?

Reports of a shortage of skilled miners come from mining centers all over the country according to the Engineering and Mining Journal Press of New York which says that this shortage is likely to develop into a real difficulty when large mines attempt materially to increase their tonnage. Where have all the old-time, all-round miners gone?" is a question that is being asked. Doubtless the labor ranks of the mines have been sapped by other industrial activities. It has been suggested that the country garages have absorbed miners who may have had some mechanical skill. Pos sibly this accounts for some of the difficulties that every traveller ex- periences in attempting. to have re paiBs made at these country garages. In a small town recently all of the garage mechanics and b1acksmiths were called in to diagnose badly acting carbureter of the automobile, but in spite of numbers the carbu- reter continued to assert it's inde- pendence and almost succeeded in putting the engine out of business. This reflection on the mechanical genius of the average miner may hurt his feelings, but the explana- tion of his absence from the mine may be sound.

THE SAID TALE OF THE
 TURNED DOWN PROSPECTOR

Never yet was prospector found who would admit that his mine was honestly turned down by an engi- neer who examined it." comments the editor of the Engineering and Mining JcurnaAjPress in publishing the following poem" by one J. c. Murray:
 Dear Bill:-1 take my pen in hand, And hope you are the same That blarsted shorthorn beats the
 band
 He went and gummed the game. I takes him out to see the dump, And also down the shaft: l thought he'd come in on the jump But all he done was laughed. I gets a letter yesterday, It says: Dear MT. Brown, very much regret to say I've turned your prospect down." Now don't that skin you? say, know Just why that geezer laughed I never offered him no dough, And he was out for graft!
