Learning bv Doing

One of the big differences be-
tween country and city children is
that the former learn by doing
things that call on them for in
telligent thinking. The country
child is set to work around his
farm or village place, and there are
always things that he can do, and to
accomplish which he must use his
own inventiveness. This makes him
.resourceful and when he grows up he
can think out his problems and
solve them.
More than half of the city children
get their education solely from
books. That makes them lacking in
inventiveness. They have no initia-
tive Some city boys of course
have to work, but their jobs do not
usually develop this resourcefulness
and ingenuity They do not get the
country boys power of thinking
things out for himself

EARTHQUAKES SHAKE UP
COAST CITIES ON SUNDAY

The severest earthquake in the his
tory of San Bernardino was recorded
Sunday night at 1928.
Two men sleeping in rooming
house are reported to have been SER
iously hurt when the roof fell in on
them. Walls in the hall Of records
were damaged, bricks and stones be-
ing thrown into the streets. City lights
were put out. Telephone commune
ications were interrupted. A pail of
dust from falling bricks hung over
the street for five minutes after the
shock.
George r. Fisher, Sc years old, was
critically injured when rock from
the roof of the hall Of records plung-
ed through the roof of the Richard
son building adjoining. Fisher was
in bed. He was struck, however, only
with a brick. He has a crushed shoul-
der, scalp wounds, and broken hand.
About $4,000 damage was done at
the county hospital, where plaster fell
from the ceilings in practically every
room. Nearly every window pane in
the building was broken. Attendants
prevented panic among patients.
Los Angeles and other coast cities
were shaken up quite severely.

VISITOR BOOSTS THE SAN
FRANCISCO PEAKS ROAD

People in Arizona haven't the
slightest idea of the wonderland that
is being opened up on San Francisco
peaks. / know this section of the
state fairly well, but / was amazed
beyond my power to tell of it by the
magnificent scenery, the great forests,
the gushing springs, the flowers, the
wild berries and the thousand 9TH
er things of interest that ] saw last
week on the road up the peaks" said
City Clerk Ed Rucker of Jerome.
Mr.. Rucker spent two or three days
last week looking over the Weather
ford road to the summit of the peaks
and returned more convinced than ever
that it will open one of the greatest
resorts of the entire west.
"The road" he said, "is now COM
pleted for about eight miles from the
tollgate and will reach the top of
Fremont peak this month, if progress
continues at the present rate. The end
of the road is now less than three
quarters of mile from that objective
but to maintain a passable grade will
require mile and a half of road yet
to be built. Prescott Courier.

tant rate hearings ever held in the
state because it attacks the entire in
trastate freight rate structure in Ari-
zona, is the longest ever conducted by
the Arizona Corporation commission,
both from standpoint of length of
time and from the record.
The latter is a voluminous affair
consisting of several hundred pages of
testimony and a large number of ex-
hibits, both shippers and rail company
exhibits. sr.lNe 4
The two decisions introduced by Mr..
Jones were interstate commerce COM
mission decisions in the cases of the
Arizona Packing company and the
Graham-Gila County Traffic associa-
ton.
In both of these cases, the arbitrary
charge exacted by the carriers for two
or more line hauls was attacked and
in both cases the interstate commerce
commission held that the rail COM
panies could not charge more than
four cents per hundred weight as an
arbitrary charge for two or more line
hauls instead of the present charge of
Is to .25 cents.
This point has been bitterly contest
ed during the rate case just closed.
One of the decisions also held that
the Southern Pacific owned the con-
trolling interest in the Arizona East
ern and that for rate making purposes
the latter system should be treated
as branch line of the Southern Pa
cific and that no arbitrary charge
should be added.

FREIGHT RATE HEARING
WINDS UP AT PHOENIX

Two Interstate commerce commits
sion decisions on Arizona cases hand
ed down within the past few days
and bearing directly on issues which
have been the center of contention in
the intrastate freight rate case DUR

corporation commission, were sprung
as surprise by F. A. Jones, of Jones,
Blaine & Jones, representing the ship
pers in the rate controversy.
The decisions were introduced as re-
buttal evidence by the shippers just
prior to the close of the case. The
hearing which began last Monday
morning and lasted six days, came to
close shortly after A o'clock Satur-
day afternoon and was submitted to
the corporation commission.
Briefs in the case are to be filed
with the commission by both sides not
later than October Is.

THE NEEDS OF ARIZONA

Arizona needs main north and
south highway to bring the popula-
tions of the state more closely togeth-
er, a state news bureau to gather and
disseminate news of one section fo1
readers in other parts of the state
and concerted advertising of the state
as a whole rather than rival advertis-
ing of various sections, Albert w. At
wood, writer of articles and editorials
on finance and economics for the Sat
urday Evening Post, says in an art
icle on "What Arizona Needs, in the
August issue of The Yavapai Maga-
zine, which will appear on the news
stands July 81.
"AriZona's progress since gaining
statehood has been remarkable" Mr..
Atwood says. "It has taken courage
to subdue this land of adventure. Too
many old timers seem to think that
Arizonas romantic days died with the
Kit Carson period. This is untrue.
There is quite as much romance here
today as there ever was. 1t is not
the same kind, nor will it ever be Me
same kind again. Adventure will take
the form Of industrial expansion"

state historian, poet of the Arizona
Federation of Woman's clubs, and a
well-lSnown Arizona writer, contrib

KANSAS CITY WEEKLY
MARKET REPORT
: *+%%%++*+*++*+++s

Trade in cattle was fairly active
with prices holding steady to strong.
Choice to prime steers were scarce,
and the predominating classes were
short fed and grass fat grades.
Stockers and feeders were strong
to slightly high. Hog prices were up
rs to 35 cents, the biggest advance
recorded in the market for some time
Iast. The top price was $3.50 and
bulk of sales $7.25 to $745. Lambs
were 25 cents lower and sheep
stronger.
Beef Cattle
Buyers were in the pens early for
fat cattle, and while there was no i'm
provement in the eastern beef mar
kets, they traded freely at steady. to
strong prices. There was a marked
Improvement in the general tone of
the trade. No strictly prime steers
arrived, and had any been offered,
they probably would have brought
SLIPS or better. Some good to choice
steers sold at $40 to $1O.85, and short
fed steers $3.50 to $9.75. Some Texas
cake fed steers sold at $500 to $500
and straight grass fed steers, which
predominated, brought $4.25 to $8.25,
and wintered, summer grazed, $7.75
to $9.40. Cows and heifers were
steady and in fairly active demand.
Fed heifers and mixed yearlings were
scarce. Veal calves were strong.
StOckers and Feeders
Trade in stockers and feeders open
ed early at strong prices and later 10
to Is cent advances were quoted.
There was healthy tone to the trade
and quotations now seem to be in a
position where buying will increase.
Sheep and Lambs
Fat sheep were fully rs cents high
er. Texas wethers selling at $3.50 to
$500 and ewes at $3.50 to. Sc. Lambs
were 25 cents lower, natives bringing
$12. to $3.50 and western lambs up
to $12.75.

GOOD RAINS MAKE
ARIZONA RANGES GOOD

Moderate to heavy showers fell over
all parts of the grazing area of Ari-
zona and western New Mexico The
heaviest falls reported occurred in the
vicinity of Whiteriver and Prescott,
Arizona, and Fort Bayard, N. NJ. I'M
proved conditions of stock, range and
water supply are reported from all
sections. The showers of the week
were particularly welcomed by stock
men as they doubtless assure a good
growth of grass started by rain of the
week previous. The following special
reports were received:
Douglas-Range greatly improved,
cattle are doing we'll, the water holes
not full yet; Whiteriver-Range much
improved. Ft. Bayard- Continued i'm
provement in range conditions. Grand
Canyon-Range fair, cattle fair. Pine
ale-Range improving, water plents-
fully distributed, cattle doing well.
Prescott-Range good, cattle good;
Seligman--Range and water improv-
ed. Thatchei-Stock and range inn
proving, grass growing.
The combination of showers and
cloudy weather has reduced irrigation
needs somewhat and produced a. uni
form and rather rapid growth of cot
ton. Associated with the steam from
the wet soils and high humidity of
the air, shedding of both squares and
recently set bolls has begun. Consid-
cradle hay was down which the show
ers alone would have damaged only
slightly, but followed, as they have
been, by damp, cloudy weather, the
ultimate value of such hay is question
able. Alfalfa seed threshing got un-
der way in both the Salt river and
Buckeye valleys; the showers have
held up all such operations. Stimulat-
ed by the very favorable market con-
ditions cantaloupe shipments continue;
this next week will see about all of the
export crop harvested. Watermelons
and figs continue plentiful. Alfalfa
cutting and threshing is in full swing
in the Yuma section; yields turning
out satisfactorily. Cotton progressing
steadily; many figs and melons on the
market. First measurable rainfall
since April IS.

Lloyd Jones this week sold his half
interest in the Takit- N-Pay grocery
store of Flagstaff to his partner, John
X. Akers, and in few days will go

Jones, Blaine & Jones of that city,
his father being member of that
law firm and Lloyd himself being a

The young men came here from

business. Mr.. Jones' father, however,
has for several months urged his son
to come into his law offices and he
finally decided to.
Mr.. Akers has secured the services
of Herbert Scurlock, who was with
the store so many years while it be-
longed to Chet Black, and Herb is al
ready on the job greeting his old
friends.

SALE OF CARS AND TRUCKS
INDICATES PROSPERITY

A total of 1,050,185 automotive
products were built by the various
divisions of the Ford Motor company
during the first six months of the
present year, according to Ed Babbitt
manager of the Babbitt garage, Flag
staff.
The output for the half year was as
follows:
Cars and trucks, 941, ,245; Canada,
46,871; tractors, 58,557, and Lincoln
cars, 3,512.
The demand for Ford trucks and
light delivery cars is particularly OPP
timistic since it reflects the attitude
of business men as well as farmers,
toward expansion and greater effic-
iency. Sales of Ford trucks are more
than double those of last year, which
indicates the extent of the general
prosperity.

MEN ARRESTED AT FLAGSTAFF
AWAITING TRIAL AT PRESCOTT

Jim Kostieras and John Peterson,
who were apprehended in Flagstaff
and taken to Jerome, where they
were given preliminary hearing in
the justice court, were taken to Pres
colt and lodged in the county Jail,
where they will await trial on a
charge of embezzlement. They were
admitted to bond in the sum of $3.50
each.
On July it is claimed, they took
funds from the cash drawer and the
cash register which belonged to a
partnership as trust for their sew
eral creditors. The $1,000 taken had
been collected on the holiday, as big
mining companies paid their employees
on that day and business had been
good, it was brought out at the hear
ing.
