Hancock Sees Prosperity Ahead
w. +. Hancock, of the firm of King
and Hancock, returned today from
Los Angeles, where he was called
on business. Mr.. Hancock states
that the building boom in Los An
geles is extending far into the sub
urbs and in his opinion this is bound
to help Imperial Valley, as an in
creased population in the Los An
geles district naturally calls for in
creased production in Imperial Val
ley. The coast attitude toward the
valley is changing, he believes, for
where it was formerly knocked, it is
now being boos.ed.

FRONTIER PUBLIC DOMAIN"
AVAILABLE FOR FARMING is
RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING

The American frontier has disap-
peared. The era of free or cheap
lands is now matter of history IN
the United States. The records of the
department of the interior show that
in the last SO years the public do
main" has decreased, in round num-
bers, 1000, 100000 acres. There are
25 states in thes union today that DO
not have any public lands within their
boundaries. The overwhelming pro-
portion of the remaining publis land
is of no value for purposes of culti-
vation or grazing. Nevada has the
largest amount of public land, the
acreage there being approximately
62,429. 900 acres. Utah comes second
with approximately 27,0O0,000, and
California third with little over 1S,-
OOO. 900 acres. New Mexico, Wyom--
ing. Oregon and Arizona stand next
in order named. Of all states having
public lands, Kansas has the least,
there being 2,944 acres within its
boundaries.

COL. OWSLEY, NATIONAL CHIEF,
ARIZONA LEGION

The splendid impression which the
American Legion, Department of Ari-
zona, made on the mind of Alvin M.
Owsley, national commander, during
his recent visit to this state, is re-
flected in telegram from him to
state headquarters. 1t reads:
please congratulate my Arizona
buddies on their remarkable rise to
second place in latest membership to-
tails. Your achievement is all the
more creditable because on the same
date last year Arizona stood 45th.
Hope your 400 members since my visit
will raise your standing. More power
to you."
In transmitting this to the various
posts throughout the state, G. M. Stod-
dard, department commander, points
out that inasmuch as Arizona now
stands second on the rollcall of states,
the raise in standing referred to by
Commander Owsley can mean nothing
else than first place. !.
1.-THE membership drive is still on"
declared Stoddard. Additional MEM
berships are being received daily and
the good work must not and will not
let UP until we are firmly entrenched

BOSTON WOOL MARKET

Little change is noted in the Boston
wool market. Prices of best Austria
liam Merinos are slowly Strengthening
as supplies become exhausted, but
mill buyers respond slowly to increase.
Buying is still going on in the west,
though it is claimed that most OF the
recent purchases have been at mod
crate recession from top prices. There
is some hesitation both here and IN
the west, the cause being the lack OF
interest shown by manufacturers. New
domestic woods are beginning to ar
rive, and the basis of values for the
new season has hardly been establish
ed, except as the experts are able to
forecast it from what has been done
in the west. Texas is the point of in
terest at the moment, though Mon
tana and Wyoming also have much
wool to sell. There is some nervous
ness in wool circles over the situation,
though most Of the leaders think the
position of the market fundamentally
sound. Manufacturers are reported to
be getting some duplicate orders for
both overcoatings and mems suitings,
and most mills are reported still rum
ming full, mills making specialties IN
women's wear being very busy. Ar
rivals of foreign wool here continue
large, especially of Australian and
South American.-B Bradstreets.

The Coconino sun., 1923-06-01

just few days ago docked one late
lamb as an experiment, and are plan
ming on carrying on more extensive
work with these docking shears next
spring. Close observation was made
on this lamb, and it was noted that
blood stopped in seven minutes, which
is very good when compared with the
knife. In fact, when some of them
were docked with the knife, blood
flowed very freely, while with the
docking shears the blood never drop
ped very fast, and never spurted as it
did in a few cases when docking with
a very sharp knife. The emascula-
tor has been used by the Pennsylvania
experiment station, with very good re-
suits and proved much better than a
hot docking iron as the lambs gained
faster and healed quicker when dock
ed with the emasculator.
The results this year would give a
slight indication that an instrument
like the docking shears would prove
very successful, and next year more
extensive comparisons will be made
between the docking shears, the sharp
knife, dull knife, hot docking iron and
the emasculator, and a few lambs will
also be docked with the eraseur.
1t is said that dull knife will more
or less crush the flesh and not pro-
mote so much bleeding as is the case
when the tail is cut with a sharp
knife.
A great many problems come up in
connection with the docking, and from
year to year the experiment station
will try to get some data on these
various questions. However, the num-
Der of lambs which the experiment
station has to work on is rather small,
and if any range men or farmer
sheep men would like to cooperate in
an experiment of this kind the expert
ment station and the extension ser
vice would be glad to help him in
every way in lining up the experiment.
The greatest trouble will be in the way
of observation of the lambs. In order
to be real accurate the weight should
be taken every other day, but this
can be changed somewhat.

ther information by writing the Ex-
tension Animal Husbandman, Univer-
sity of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona.

CROP AND LIVESTOCK
REPORT FOR MAY

During the year ending April 80,
1923, the numbers of different kinds
of live stock that have died, out of
every thousand owned in Arizona, are
reported as follows: Horses and
mules of all ages, from disease, IA,
compared with % in 1922, and 18, the
ten-year average. Cattle, of all ages,
from disease, Is, and from exposure,
35. Corresponding figures for 1872
are 35 and 70, with ten-year aver
ages of 22 and 38. Sheep, from dis
ease, 25, and from exposure, 25; in
1922 the figures were 40 and 35, with
"a and 43 representing the ten-year
averages. Lambs, from both disease
and exposure, so, compared with SO in
1922 and ten-year average OF "a.
The condition of Arizona live stock
May 1, 1923, includes farm animals
of all kinds and can not be applied
to range animals alone. Figures In
groups of three are given. The first
figure represents the condition on May
l this year; the second figure. the
condition of the first of May one year
ago; the third figure the average OF
conditions reported May / for each OF
the past ten years.
Horses and mules of all ages, 80,
95, 96; cattle of all ages, 95, SO, 92;
sheep (not including lambs) 80, 80,
95; swine of all ages, 81, 95, 81.
That both cattle and feed on Ari-
zona ranges have deteriorated during
the past thirty days is evident from
conditions reported May l, 1923.
Figures are based upon the condl-.
tion as reported by well informed
stockmen over the state and are rep
resentative of the whole, though they
are not always applicable to restrict
ed areas, where actual conditions may
be better or worse than shown.
For the state as a whole, on May /,
the condition of range pasture was
reported to be rs per cent of normal;
the condition of cattle 70 per cent OF
normal, sheep, "a per cent.
Coconino is the only county IN the
state where conditions are reported as
even approaching normal. Here the
condition of cattle is 81 per cent OF
normal, and the condition of range
pasture 100 per cent.

OKLAHOMA LEGION AGAINST

general amnesty to so-called "politi-

reasonable conduct against the Unit
ed States was expressed in resolu,
ton adopted unaniE ousiy at a recent
conference of commanders, adjutanls
and service officers of Oklahoma poses
of the American Legion held in Okla
homa City. The resolution is in con-
fo1mity with the Legion's national
policy on this question as determined
by the last national convention.
Another resolution declared in favor
of total exclusion of immigrants for a
period of five years as measure OF
prevention against the influx of the
restless hordes of unemployed of Eu-
rope. Americanism work among for

LEGION AUXILIARY DOING
BIG WORK in THE STATE

Checks aggregating hundreds of
dollars have been distributed to the
10 units of the American Legion Aux
iliary in Arizona, in compliance with
a recent authorization of the execu-
tive committee of the Legion, it was
announced today at state headquar-
ters. In addition a substantial sum
was placed to the credit of the state
department treasury of the Auxiliary.
These contributions come as a re-
ward of merit and token of appre-
citation of the splendid work of the
auxiliary under the leadership of Mrs.
S. H. Boyer, department president, of
Tucson.
In a letter of transmittal to Mrs.
Boyer and the various unit presi-
dents, Department Commander C. NJ.
Stoddard wrote:
"I extend to the members our very
best wishes and our sincere apprecia-
ton of the wonderful assistance and
cooperation that you have given the
American Legion in this state. You
are one of our greatest assets"
The records of the auxiliary show
that the development of the organiza-
ton in Arizona has kept pace with
the marked upbuilding of the Ameri-
can Legion membership in Arizona
since the first of the year. The real
interest in the auxiliary is expected
to be reflected in a large attendance
at the state convention to be held in
conjunction with the meeting of the
Legion at Flagstaff, June II, IL and
13. All arrangements have been made
for seeing that women delegates to the
auxiliary meet are well looked after,
special committees having been named
for this nurnnGe

ONE LANGUAGE ENOUGH

In his speech here recently ALVIN
M. Owsley, national commander OF
the American Legion, stated there
were at present more than 600 news
papers published in the United States
in foreign languages. Most of them,
he said. are not devoted to the chron-
icling of news, but are carriers OF
propaganda, mainly directed against
the American system of government.
Instead of advising their readers to
appreciate the benefits the country
gives to them, they preach treachery
and revolution.
The English language is the lang
uage of America, and 1t should pc
spoken and read by every person IN
the land. The longer newspapers OF
an alien tongue are circulated among
those who. came here from across the
sea, the longer it will be before they
and their children learn the language
of this country While the press and
speech should be free, there is wide
difference between liberty and IL
cense, and any publication intimatlng
that this government ought to be ov-
erthrown should be suppressed.
Having with him the undivided sup
port of the Legion in his crusade for
Zone language, one country and one
God" Commander Owsley undoubt-
edly- will be instrumental in awaken
ing in America keener sense of 10y
atty, and the movement eventually
may result IN driving from the coun-
try the sinister elements the former
soldiers so vigorously are attacking.
The United States cannot have too
strong an appeal for truer and more
widespread Americanism, and it is
pleasing to see an organization of far
reaching influence bending its ener-
gies toward national individuality and
unity.-Prescott Courier.

GIVENS ASKS GREATER
SYMPATHY FOR DISABLED

In an interview given in Flagstaff
recently, James G.. Givens, chief OF
employment service of the u. S. Vet
erans' bureau pleaded for sympa-
thetic attitude on the part of the pub
lie toward the rehabilitated veteran in
solving the employment problem of
those men who were wounded, injured
or otherwise incapacitated while in the
military or naval service of the world
war.
Givens stated that the United States
government obligated itself to bring
him back physically sound and also to
train him in trade or profession
where his disability if it still existed
at the end of training, would not be
a handicap.
The aim he said is to provide the
opportunity for this man to become
an economic asset rather than bur-
den to the business community-and
that these men were being changed
from disabled to able-bodied and
thoroughly trained men. For four
years this work has been going on and
the 18th district of the bureau COM
prising the states of California, Arl-
zona and Nevada have over 5000 men
in training at this time, in almost ev-
ery conceivable vocation and that the
time is rapidly approaching when
these men will have completed their
training and be ready for employment.
The 18th district of the bureau re-
habilitated and returned to useful and
gainful employment 1905 men during
the wear 1922. In this year, 1928, q
larger group or about $500 men will
be rehabilitated and it is vital to the
governments program that the busl-
ness world assimiliate these men so
that they can undertake gainful occu-
pations on an equality with other men
thus strengthening the economic
structure of the country if they are
placed properly and expeditiously.
Givens further stated that these
men should be employed for the rea,,
son that they are thoroughly trained
and capable in their respective lines
and should not be considered for any
sentimental reasons connected with
their war histories, but rather to give
them a chance to make good. They
are ready for and need permanent en-
ployment. They ask and the govern
ment asks for them, not charity, but
a job.
Givens was accompanied by Louis
A. Becker, local employment repre-
sentative from the Phoenix sub-dis-
trict office. Mr.. Becker is in Flag
staff frequently and the business IN
terests of this community are urged
to use this employment service at
every occasion where a trained man
is needed.
