F. Hopkinson Smith, accountant in charge, fears the process of checking the open public improvement accounts will be, slow, due to the condition of the books.
 Since the commission will not know the total of the shortage when it com piles it's budget, the plan is to set aside shortage" fund of $75,000. Mem. bers hope this will cover the missing sums, but they won't bet on it.
 It was learned Monday that the au- ditors are not pleased with the city hall system of keeping books. It is expected that Mir. Smiths final report will con tain recommendations for number of changes. Commission President D. E NAcLendon has requested such recon. mendations.

Tevo evays to be sure of getting genuine linoleum

IF you want linoleum, you want it. 4 There IS no other floor that IS sold in rolls or rugs that has the substance, body, and residence that come from a mixture of powdered cork and oxidized linseed oil, pressed on strong burlap, back.
 You can always be sure of getting genuine hnoleum, made of cork, llnSeed oil, and burlap, if you look carefully and be sure that it has burlap back. Burlap is tough and strong; the 5nrlap back IS the reason why genuine linoleum does not tear readily.
 All of Armstrong's Linoleum has the Circle "A" trademark on the burlap back. When you see this "A" inclosed in a circle, you can be sure you are getting linoleum as fine as any that can be made.
 Why Cork is 1sed Cork is used in making linoleum because it is tough. Cork resists moisture, is elastic and springy, and deadens sound. It Is hard to wear out. This IS true of bottle cork. It is also true of the finely ground cork used in making ArmStrongS Linoleum.
 Cork mixed with Linsefd Oil Did you ever notice the tough film of oil that forms on can of paint when ex- posed to the air1
 That is oxidized linseed oil. In making linoIeum, powdered cork is mixed with linseed oil and the two blend perfectly. This gives linoleum its smooth surface,

Linoleum Floors are Good Looking and Last Long because they ore made of
 Cork, Linseed Oil, and Burlap
Wax ii, and it gets better-Iooking

Wax ii, and t gets better-lOOking A linoleum floor requires very little care Wash inlaid linoleum when first laid with a mild soap like Ivory. Next wax it thoroughly, rubbing the wax we'll in. After that daily brushing or touching up ofthewalked-on places on cleaning day with slightly waxed cloth or dry mop, keeps 1t in perfect condition.
 Rewax about once year. With the aging of the waxed surface, the linoleum softens and mellows in tone.
 Do yOH knO~ hO~ pretty Enole~m is? Rolls standing in a store do not give a really good idea of what beautiful floor linoleum makes. When cemented down and waxed, one of the modern designs of ArmStrong's Linoleum IS lovely floor to lay your fine rugs on-one that will harmonize with your furnishings, and make everything in the room better looking. Your floor Is beautiful, sanitary, permanent, and no trouble at all.
 Do not scrub yoNr IsoLewns Harsh scrubbing with strong soaps or powders will injure linoleum or any other fine floor. 1t IS never necessary with lino- leum Don 'tletit be done. Useonly amild soap, when washing Is really necessary.

which makes 1t SO easyto clean. All dust is surface dust and brushes right up.
 Why printed hnOleGrr patterns
 are SO pretty
 The smoothness of, linoleum makes it very easy to print beautiful and regu- lar design on its surface. The printing is done with heavy linseed oil paints. The linoleum contains linseed oil, and the two combine perfectly. Varnish this printed surface when your inoleum IS new, and about twice year thereafter, and the pattern will wear for many years.
 In inldid liuolenm
 Me cOlOrs go all the gay thrOHgh In inlaid linoleum, the colors of the sur face design run clear through to the bur lap back. Each little colored block or shape in the pattern IS laid separately on the burlap, and the whole pressed together into one piece under heavy rolls.
 ArmstrOng's Li'Ole~m Rugs An Armstrong's Linoleum Rug, printed or inlaid, Is made of cork, linseed oil, ahd burlap, and has the Circle "A" trade mark on the back. These rugs cost but a trihe more, but are better-looking, and give longer service. They lie flat with- out curling, and are waterproof, sanitary, and hard to tear. Made in four sizes.
 Laying fine LinOIe~m
 for beauty and Permdnency A good inlaid linoIeum floor should be cemented in place over lining of build CTS deadening felt. Laid this way, the seams are not noticeable, the hnoleum will not stretch or crack, and will never need re6nishing.

courses and during the second 129
were registered. These students have

July goth. The courses in elemen-
tary and junior high school education

Livestock and Ranges in
Arizona and New Mexico

Rainfall for the week was confined
to scattered showers in the vicinity of
Whiteriver, Nogales and Fort Bayard
New Mexico While general range
conditions in the vicinity Of White
river are good there are a number Of
localities in the White mountains
needing rain. The range about Pine
dale is deteriorating but water is still
plentiful and cattle are doing we'll
Both range and stock in the HOlbrook
section are good and the water supply
adequate. Scarcity of rain in the
Grand Canyon, Williams and Prescott
sections is manifest in the deteriora-
ton of pastures and the drying of
water courses. Inadequacy of the wa
ter supply is causing much hardship
to sheepmen in the vicinity of Ash
fork. Range conditions in the greater
part of Santa Cruz county are poor.
Stock in the Douglas section are
holding UP we'll although the range is
poor for the season and water holes
are drying up. Stock in the Seligman
section continue fair and the water
supply adequate. The range in the
Fort Bayard, N. M, section has been
helped by recent showers and favor
