national farm loan bureau which has
established land banks in twelve dis
tricts throughout the country. This
new intermediate credit system adds
to each of these farm land banks an
intermediate credit bank with cap
itaI of $5,000,000. This new inter-
mediate credit bank system makes it
possible for the farmer to get loans
at his bank from six months up to
three years, whereas he could only
get such loans before for six months
at time. The bank can only charge
rate of interest on such loans of
one and one-half percent higher than
the interest rate fixed by the inter-
mediate bank. The intermediate bank
discounts the agricultural paper TAX
en- by banks, cooperative asSocia-
tions, and loan associations of var
ious sorts. 1t in turn can issue de-
benture bonds, which are tax exempt,
against these notes which they have
discounted from the banks, loan
agencies ETC., sell them on the open
market and thus get more money to
loan.
The second part of the measure
provides for the organization of agri-
cultural credit companies, with a
minimum capital of $250,000, to be
organized by bankers, or private in
diYiduals, not fewer than five in num-
ber. These organizations can loan
money in the same way as the inter
mediate credit banks, or they can
also issue debentures, but such bonds
are not tax free.
The secretary also had word to
say on the matter of cooperative
marketing to the effect that when we
speak of cooperative marketing we
are sometimes disposed to confine
what we say to the cooperation of
farmers among themselves alone for
the purpose of promoting their in
terests only Whereas, cooperation
means not alone cooperation Of the
men engaged in one particular indus
try, but cooperation on the part of
various groups.
The secretary visited Sacaton and
Casa Grande where he inspected the
irrigation projects and possibilities
and held conferences with the citi-
zens, Tucson where he was enter
tanned by the citizens, and then went
on to Yuma to have a look at the
irrigation project there before leaV-
ing for California.
While Secretary Wallace did not
come to Winslow at this time to look
over our irrigation prospects it is no
sign that he, or his successor at some
time may come here to take look
at the irrigation project that may in
time become a reality, as some Of us
believe it will. Anyway we are glad
that the secretary came and had a
first hand look at the great state of
Arizona and it's almost limitless pos
sibilities. He will now be in a bet
ter position to know what Arizona
needs and ought to have in the way
of help and encouragement from the
agricultural department of our gov
ernment We hope he will come again.

SECRETARY[OF
AGRICULTURE
VISIT ARIZONA

Hon. Henry C. Wallace, secretary
of agriculture, has been paying his
first visit to Arizona. He spent sew
eral days last week in the Salt River
Valley and surrounding territory. Mr.
Wallace is an Iowa man, educated at
the famous agricultural college at
Ames and was for number of years
member of the faculty of that in
stitution. For more than a quarter
of a century he has been the editor
and manager of "Wallace's Farmer
founded by his father, Henry Wallace,
and the best known farm journal in
the country. The secretary is, there
fore, an agriculturalist by practice
as well as in theory. 1t is an inter
esting fact that the state of Iowa has
furnished the secretary of agriculture
for more than half of the thirty-thre
years that the department has been
in existence.
The secretary was kept busy while
in the state. The day he arrived in
Phoenix he was taken for a two hun
dred mile trip to Globe and Miami
and thence to the Roosevelt dam. He
was greatly interested in the irriga-
tion projects of the state as he real
lied hoy much they mean to the agri-
cultural interests of the state. He
held number of conferences while
in Phoenix and made a number of
speeches. One of his principal ad-
dresses dealt with the farm credit
measure which was passed by con-
gress just before it adjourned and
about which there was So much dis
cussion in the papers. In this ad-
dress he also gave some information
on the department and it's working
that is very interesting as we'll as
instructive. For instance he said
there were some 19,200 people en-
ployed in the department, $40,000,000
a year is spent in routine activities
and $25,000,000 year in various
forms of cooperative work, such as
road building and cooperation with
the agricultural colleges. Then the
small sum of only $250,000,000 is
spent to help support the county
agencies and work of that sort. He
further stated that the department
employs about 5000 scientit CALI
trained men--the largest group oi
scientists that can be found anywhere
in the worId-whose business it is tC
enquire into the scientific laws anG
make the results of their inquiries
known to the people SO they can ap-
ply them in a practical way in the
production of crops. Under this
scientific department are the bur
eaus of plant idustry, entomology
and many others.
He explained that the farm credi
measure, known as the agriculture
credit act of 1923, sets up two sys

ED GARDNER is ACQUITTED after
G DAY TRIAL, JURY OUT 70 MIN.

The trial of Constable Ed Gardner
for the shooting Of Joe Garcia came
to an end on Monday evening last,
after continuing for six days, with a
verdict of acquittal for the defend
ant. It took the jury only about
twenty minutes to bring in their YER
dict after the case was given into
their hands by Judge Crosby. The
prosecution undertook to prove that
Gardner had shot Garcia without just
cause and while he was running
away from the officer, but the tes-
timony presented did not seem to
weigh very heavily in the minds of
the jurors. The defense attorneys
placed Gardner himself upon the
stand and those who head his testi-
mony say he made good witness in
his own behalf, telling a straightfor-
ward story as to the occurrences on
the night the shooting took place.
According to his testimony it was the
third time he had arrested Garcia,
twice before he had arrested him for
bootlegging or having whiskey upon
him. He claimed to have evidence
that bootlegging was going on in the
rooming house where the shooting

some arrangement with one of the
inmates to help him get the bootleg
gers. It turned out that Garcia
showed up with bottle of whiskey
in his pocket. Gardner undertook to
arrest him and Garcia thrust his
hand in his pocket to get the bottle
or whiskey in order to throw it away
and Gardner mistaking this move to
be an attempt to draw gun, and not
wanting to take any chance with a
man with whom he had had previous
trouble drew his own gun and shot
him as he believed in self defense.
A few other character witnesses were
put on the stand to testify as to the
peaceable charcter of the defendant.
1t seems the jury was impressed
with the testimony Of the defense
and hence were ready to return a
verdict of acquittal as soon as the
case was finished. G.. B. Wilson of
Flagstaff and c. H. Jordan of Hol-
brook were the defense attorneys,
while County Attorney Thorwald
Larson, assisted by w. E. Ferguson
conducted the prosecution.

Hon. Carl Hayden accompanied by
Mrs. Hayden was in Winslow be-
tween trains Wednesday evening,
making connections here with the
Phoenix train on which they travelled
to their home in Tempe. Mr.. and
Mrs Hayden were returning from
the petrified forest at Adamana
where they had accompanied the Con-
gregational Committee which has been
visiting the National Parks of the
west. A representative of the Mail
called on Mr.. Hayden at the Harvey
house but was unable to get much
of a interview for the reason that the
time was to short. 1t is understood
that the purpose of the visit of the
Congressional committee was to in
terest Congress in the development
of our national parks to the point
where they will be of real value to
the whole country. Our own world
famous Grand Canyon National Park
was given the once over by the COM
mittee. Mr.. Hayden is confident
that something will be done in the
near future to further advance its
popularity as point of interest to the
thousands of visitors who make their
pilgrimage to this, one of natures
greatest shrines. Mr.. Hayden will
not return to Washington until next
December and will spend the interim
resting and looking after his person

VEMENTS

Grit" one of the great national
newspapers, in it's issue of February
II, pays glowing tribute to Warren
s. Stone, to the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers and to Coal River
Galleries The newspaper gives it's
leading first page article to describ-
ing the various activities of the loco
motive engineers. 1t devotes consid-
cradle space to describing the coal
properties of Coal River Collieries,
in which the stockholders are engin-
GERS.
Invading Wall Street by purchas-
ing substantial interest in the EN-
pire Trust Company of New York
City, the Brotherhood Of Locomotive
Engineers has added one more link
to its chain of activities which is
quickly bringing it into the so-called
money trust" says the editor of
GRIT"
Headed by Warren S. Stone, its
president, this independent union has
set the pace for other unions to fol-
low, and it's lead is being taken up
throughout the country.
"CO-operative banks, extensive coal
properties, mail order dry goods
house doing a department store busi-
ness, and real estate deals are all
managed by this brotherhood. The
brotherhood also controls the Broth
erhood Insurance Company, with
$180000 900 in policies, and the Bro
therhood Investment Company, $10,-
100000 corporation. Its printing is
all done by the Brotherhood Printing
COmDany of Cleveland o. which il

"Ten cooperative banks in opera
tion, half dozen or more in process
of organization, including one to be
opened Immediately in New York
City, and an increase in resources
from $653 900 to $19,000,000 are the
results of the entrance 26 months
ago of the engineers into the banking
field.
"This growth has made the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers the
most powerful union financially in
the country and an outstanding fin
ancial factor among other large bank
ing institutions of the nation"
The article goes on to describe the
highly developed mining settlement
at Prestonsburg, KY, where Eureka
Mine No 1 of Coal River Galleries
is located 1t tells of the splendid
way the miners are treated, high
wages paid and model living condi-
tions 1t also speaks of the vast

CLARENCE WAS
GREAT SUCCESS

Through an oversight, the Mail
failed to give report of the Senior
Play, which was given at the Wash
ington Auditorium last week. We
regret this because the quality of the
production warranted prominent men
tion in these columns.
Those taking part in the play were
as follows:
Clarence ................... Joe Babcock
Violet Pinney .....Bernice Pillsbury
Mrs. Martin .-....-......--..-...- Mable Kelly
Mr.. Wheeler ...............- Noel Caldwell
Mrs Wheeler -.--..-. Loretta Bauer
Bobby Wheeler ~ Stanard Nesting
Cora Wheeler .-.-.......... Kathryn Bauer
Hubert Stem ..... Marvin Young
Della ............................ Mable Kelly
Dinwiddie .......... Robert Leonard
The name of the play was "Clar-
ence'', by Booth Harrington. The
plot was woven about returned
soldier, whose last name was shroud-
ed in mystery The mystery was
cleared and the ending was happy.
Through it all a vein Of light and
wholesome humor was most effect
lively portrayed.
All showed hard work and careful
training. Each performer was well
fitted for his part. The characters
were carefully selected and with eff
fective coaching by Misses Martha
Uhlir and Dora Thomas each char
acter was portrayed with true artis-
tic effect. The students and especial
ly the coaches deserve special praise
for this evenings delightful enter
tainment.
