NEW REFRIGERATION SERVICE
FROM NORTH TO SOUTH IN
LESS THAN CAR LOAD LOTS

A less than carload freight refr1g-
orator service from Phoenix to north
ern Arizona points, first suggested by
the Arizona Industrial Congress last
summer, is to be inaugurated by the
Santa Fe railroad next week for a
five-weeks test to determine whether
there will be tonnage available to
make the service permanent.
This is the announcement received
from r. L. Hanna, assistant general
freight and passenger agent Of the
Santa Fe, marking concerted effort
to give this section of Arizona an iced
freight service for perishable products
at greatly reduced cost from express
shipments.
Mr.. Hanna's announcement said
that shipments for the first car would
be received at Phoenix next Monday
The car will reach Prescott and Ash
Fork on Wednesday; Williams on
Thursday, and Flagstaff and WinsloW
on Friday, and the same schedule will
be followed for the next five weeks.
The service is expected to be OF
greater benefit to Phoenix shippers
ard local buyers of produce, fruit and
other perishable foodstuffs, as re-
friyeration will be furnished without
additional cost for the less-than-car.
load freight shipments. To make the
service permanent it is estimated 8
weekly tonnage Of $4,000 pounds
would be required, which is the basi.
for similar service at other points.

600 to be met by federal aid to pave
what is known as the Z per cent sys-
TEN in the state, connecting Phoenix,
the state capital, with every county
seat Of the state with a paved road.
Ii such a condition had existed prior

COOLEY HAS BEEN SUBDU ED

A forest fire started by Indians
near the cinder pits few miles west
of Cooley destroyed from 800 to 400
acres of timber before it was stopped,
according to word received from Hol-

The town of Cooley suffered no
loss from the fire and the mills in

feet of lumber ready to ship escaped
without fire loss.
The fire started sometime Thursday
afternoon. A strong wind prevented
the fire from spreading in the direc-

and volunteers were able to apply all
their efforts in extinguishing the
flames.
The Cooley mills have been working
full time getting their orders ready
for shipment and the yards are stock
ed with lumber. If the fire had reach
Ell the lumber yards the loss would
have amounted to many thousands of
dollars.

No Trouble to Get Rid
of Lice and Mites
on Poultry
Mineralized Water Does the
Work Without Dusting
or Spraying.

A recent discovery promises
to revolutionize all the common.
~ accepted methods for keeping
poultry free from lice, mites,
blue bugs and other parasites.
This wonderful product keeps
the poultry always insect free
without the poultry raiser doing
any work. 1T is the simplest.
easiest, surest and best method
ever discovered.
Any poultry raiser can easily
rid his flock of lice and insects,
make chickens grow faster and
increase their egg yield by sim
ply adding minerals to the fowls
drinking water. This does away
with all bother, such as busting,
greasing, dipping and spraying.
The necessary minerals can now
be obtained in convenient tab.
lets, known as Lustabs. Soon
after the fowls drink the miner:
allied water all lice, mites and
insects leave them. Taken into
the system of the bird, it comes
out through the oil glands of the
skin and every louise, mite or
other vermin leaves the body.
1t is guaranteed to help the
hatchability of the eggs and
cannot injury the flavor of the
eggs or meat. Little chicks that
drink freely of the water will
never be bothered with mites or
lice. Especially recommended
for raisers of pure bred stock as
there is no risk of soiling the
plumage.
Lustabs are sold under a guar.
antee and if not delighted with
results in ten days-if your
chickens are not healthier, lay.
ing more eggs and entirely free
from lice and mites your money
will be refunded.
Any reader of this paper may
try Lustabs without risk, we are
so confident of good results that
to introduce them to every poul.
try raiser we offer two big 81 90
packages for only $1.00. Send
no money, just your name and
