SERIOUS ACCIDENTAL
 BENEDICT'S CORNERS
Essex and Ford Cars Collide; ; Two Men Tn Ford
 Injured ...e.

A serious accident occurred at Benedict's corners on the road to Ashley Falls about five o'clock Saturday afternoon when a Ford and an Essex touring car came together. The Ford was coming down the Clayton road and the Essex was travelling in the direction of Ashley Falls. The fortunate and really Nrniraculous feature of the accident was that no one was killed outright.
 The Ford was driven by Robert J. Humes of Lime Rock and had as passengers Victor Gambroni and William Connors. When the car turned over Gambroni, it is thought was thrown through the windshield. He was the most seriously injured. Connors was somewhat cut about the face. Humes escaped with a few bruises The occupants of the Essex car were uninjured. <
 Gambroni served for two years with the 1st Division, 18th Conn. Infantry in France and says he was not even scratched. Since his return he has had no less than three acci- dents First he received bad cut in the knee while chopping wood. Then he cut off part of one finger in sausage machine and last Sat urday he narrowly escaped death. He is now in the hospital at Winsted where it is thought his condition is not serious.
 The Essex car was owned by Karl Loomis of Irvington, N. J., who with three others were enroute to Great Harrington, Mass. The windshield of their car was broken and the fender and radiator damaged, but did not prevent them from resuming their journey. Loonis stated that the Ford was travelling at an exces- sive rate of speed.
 \ Dr. J. G. Adam was summoned to the scene of the accident and attended to the injured. It was at his suggestion that Gambroni, who was badly cut about the head, was removed to the hospital.
 Both Humes and Loomis appeared in the local court on Monday. Humes charged with reckless driving and Loomis with seeking to evade. responsibility. The case has been continued until July 24th r. .

CENTENARY CELEBRATION
 OF E. CANAAN CHURCH
Excellent Sermon by Professor H. H. Tweedy of Yale
 University

A week of celebrating in memory of the hundredth anniversary of the building of the church ediface al East Canaan, opened with an .excel. lent sermon in the church on Sunday morning by Professor H. H. Tweedy of Yale University. The sermon was remarkable for it's common sense viewpoint as it applies to the present day mode of living. ... The scripture lesson was taken from the eleventh chapter of Luke. Some of the highlights of the sermon which followed the reading of the scripture follow. Relative to the 24th to 26th verses of the eleventh chapter of St. Luke, Prof. Tweedy said that it was not enough to merely do the things which necessity requires to be good, "The unclean spirit after it is gone out of the man, passing through waferless places, seeking rest" and finding none returns with seven others land. the last state of that man becometh worse than. the first. ...s.
 Prof. Tweedy said it was impos- sible for any one to blow piece of land and ,nopplant 1t and cultivate it and not have the weeds grow. The more fertilizer we put on aRd t4e more we cultivate it without crop, the ranker the weeds grow. It IS the same with our lives. 1t is neces- sary that we do more than not be bad. We must plant and cultivate crop or spirit of goodness in order to overcome the weeds of sin.
 No person can be a true christian merely by following the ten com mandments, said Prof. Tweedy There is nothing in them that prohibits a man from keeping an opium den, or sorhething similar. But Jesus summed all the Thou Shalt Nots in two Thou Shafts: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as myself, etc, and Thou sbalt love the Lord thy God, etc. He said he defed any person to do those two things and not be christian!
 Speaking of the viewpoint of the atheist, Prof. Tweedy asked what such a person had gained. T His rejection of the Bible and of God deprived him of every comfort with which christians are inspired by hope of the hereafter.
 We wish it was possible to print the sermon verbatim, for it was one of the most instructive and interest ing heard here in some time. Following is the program for the remainder of the week. Thursday will be of unusual historic interest. Thursday, June 18th, "Old Home Day" at 1O:30 a, m. and 200 p. m.

Motor Vehicle Receipts Increase

Receipts of the state department of motor vehicles, exclusive of the gasoline tax, for the first four months of this year nearly doubled those of the corresponding period of last year, it was disclosed by figures made public by Commissioner Stoeckel. The aggregate receipts, from January 1 to May 1, 1922, were $2,976,0s6.97, as compared to $1,657, ,260.s2 for the same period of 1921. The gain of $1,S1s,s26.15 insures the expenditure of that much additional money on highway maintenance in the state, and is at- tributed largely to the increased fees voted by the last session of the Legislature.

FORCES
BEING EMPLOYED IN
COPPER PRODUCTION

From Charles r. Willis. editor OF
the Arizona Mining Journal, comes
the most cheering announcement
that has been given out TO the state
for several months. From his close
touch with mining conditions he has
CLEANED the following encouraging
information:
Rapid developments presage the
actual production of copper at many
OF the larger camps in this state at
an early date. II is reported from
Miami that the Inspiration Consoli- :
dated has made preparations to start
about ten sections of its mill some
time today, and a further statement
from this camp is to the effect that
orders have been received from the
New York office for the Inspiration
TO resume mining operations on the
18th of the month. The present
working force employed by the COM
pany exceeds 1900 men, 1t is said, and
there is little doubt that the Inspira-
ton will get under way as soon as a
sufficient number of men, especially
of the skilled labor class, are en-
rolled. When the plant Is running
capacity, 1t is expected that about
2. 900 men will be employed.
In the Bisbee district the c. & A
company has added a number OF mer
to its force of miners, and a force
at the copper Queen has been taker

Every confectionery sand drug store
will be serving the old fashioned ten
cent dish OF ice cream this summer.
That is the prediction of F. j. Pad
dock. of the Pacific creamery, based
upon the general tendency OF prices
in the diary product market.
"Conditions are favorable in the
dairy business" Mr.. Paddock sad.
"A constantly increasing demand is
meeting lower prices. giving the mar :
ket a stimulus that is very benefi-
cial to all concerned. ,,.
The case goods variety OF milk
dropped slightly in price last Week.
This reduction resulted in a much
stronger market. The price drop I'm :
mediately effected the retail sales as
well as the movement Of jobbers.
With the many inducements oelng
offered by tile creameries of the val
lev and with the profits possible by

more ranchers are becoming inter
ested IN dairy herds and the produc-
ton OF milk is increasing daily.

Active interest in the early gar

steadily on the increase since then
according to A. w. Liefgreen. man,
ager of the Arizona Feed and Floral
company on South Central avenue
From the same source comes the ao-
ditional information that early Duy-
ing indicates a greater diversitica-
tion of farming than was ever known
in the history of the salt RIVER

.Tt seems that people are just be-
-winning to realize the many crops
which may be produced with COM
naratively little effort in this valley

ciallv il a sufficient number become

there will be an immediate and eager

Potato Scarcity
Features Produce
Market Past Week

Scarcity of Flagstaff potatoes on
the local market, a decline in the
price of eggs and an increase in the
price of apples are outstanding fea-
lures of the produce market oil the
past welxk according to John +. Bar
ker of the Barker Produce company.
In summing up these various phases,
Mr.. Barker gave out the following
statement:
Market On Eggs
There has been a steady decline
during the past week, the mar ct IN
Phoenix lower than it shou be
when compared with California
prices. This is principally due TO low
prices being offered in the Mesa dis
trict where eggs are being sold at
almost three cents less than In Phoe-
nix. The price cuts in the Mesa dis
trict are forcing Phoenix buyers TO
pay lower prices.
II is possible to stabilize the daily
market for eggs through the entire
valley If the poultry growers viii CO.
operate more closely in marketing
their product.
Potatoes
Owing to heavy snow and cold
weather in Flagstaff very few pota'
toes are arriving here from that dis
trict. The local market is suffering 9
|. scarcity of good potatoes. Some
shipments have been received from
California and Colorado which VII
tide over until the Flagstaff grower
is ready to deliver. The potato mar.
ket is steady with a tendency toward
higher prices in some districts.
Fruit
Killing freezes in the citrus groves
Of California have reacted upon tn'
apple market, creating a decided ad'
vance. Apples from California an'
points in the northwest are bringing
| from 25 cents to so cents more. pc
box. However, local dealers nav
fairly heavy supplies on hand.

Money is getting easier and the
day of ten per cent loans in the

the opinion of Lewis w. Coggins,
vice president Of the Phoenix IT,

"WhiIe there is little change IN
conditions which have existed for
the past few months a general up
ward trend is. manifest in finan-
ciai circles" he said.
In looking forward, Mr.. Coggins
sees a marked Improvement in
conditions within q few months.
"The process Of readjustrnent IS
slow" he explained. "But the

gated to the past in favor OF nor

delegate be deprived Of the right to cast his own
vote in his own way if he desired to do so. This,
OF course, did not prevent delegations from observ-
ing the unit rule if they chose to do so, and if all
the members were willing to act under it. 1t did,
however, establish the fact that the individual dele
gate was entitled in all cases to his independent ex-
preston. :
Notwithstanding these repeated decisions by
the highest authority within the party, the unit rule
continued to be applied in state and local conven-
tons for years, and it is doubtless in vogue yet\.in
some states. In North Dakota it was used quite
frequently, but sentiment against it grew stronger,
until in 1905 the state legislature prohibited it in all
conventions which came within the jurisdiction of
the law. The language used in the statute, Section
8, Chapter 100, session laws of 1905, is:
The use or observance or enforcement Of
the practice commonly known as the unit rule
. is hereby strictly forbidden. VIZ,
The official nominating convention has been
abolished, and the statute on the unit rule has there
fore become obsolete, although it stands as a dec
laration of principle and policy. Such conventions
as are now held for the nomination or endorsement
of political candidates are voluntary and unofficial,
and are subject to no legal regulations. Objections
to the unit rule now rest upon the basis of principle,
and, in the Republican party, on the repeated rul-
iugs of the national conventions. But the unit rule
has been SO thoroughly discreditcd, and so complete
" disposed OF, that it should, by this time, be rele-
gated to ancient history, and forgotten.
