SMITH HITS MOVE
FORSTATE DRYLAW
Demands Vigorous Enforce
ment of U. S. Act, But
/ Fights Assembly Bill.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ALBANY, N. Y, January Gov.
Smith told the new Legislature in
his first message to it today, that the
Volstead act must be enforced, but
that no State legislation was neces-
sary in this respect.
The legislative program of the Re
publicans, who control both branches
of the Legislature, includes State
prohibition enforcement act to sup
plant the Mullan-Gage law, which
was repealed with the approval of
Gov. Smith in a previous admins
tration.
ANY sensible man or woman can
readily realize that we have law, but
what we lack is enforcement sald
Gov. Smith. After pointing out that
every peace officer and every official
of the State charged with the enforce
ment of law should enforce the Vol
stead act as vigorously as he would
any State statute or any mandate of
the Constitution itself" Gov. Smith
said:
AssaiIs Hypocrisy.
"The whole question of enforcement
OF the Federal act sustaining the
eighteenth amendment is imbedded
in insincerity and hypocrisy. We are
suffering from too may statesmen
who talk dry and act wet.
Gov Smith said he was in hearty
accord with the proposed Federal
child labor amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution, but he advocated
referendum on the amendment TO
ascertain the wishes of the people OF
the State.
Asserting that the present method
for making amendments to the state
constitution removes it too far from
the people" Gov. Smith urged that
provision be made for popular con-
stitutional initiative.
Other recommendations included
abolition - motion picture censor
ship, removal from the laws OF all
unjust discrimination against women
and restoration of direct primaries.

Last Block of Warren
Avenue Home of MANY
Very Small Children

There is no race suicide out on
the far end of Warren avenue The
Enchanted Mesa, on which the
stork maintains his home, lies out
on the colorful Painted Desert, just
beyond the end of Warren, and
when the stork makes the trip to
town with his precious bundles, he
apparently leaves them on the first
doorstep he flies across.
Fifteen babies live in the five
homes in the last block of Warren.
Another home is building, in which
a family with three small children
will soon move. The average of
three to a home will be kept up.
If the census taker should make a
visit to the 1000 block on Warren
he would enumerate the families
about as follows: Bert Warren,
with four kiddies; P. H. Haumont,
four; R. E. Cooper, three; A. B..
Campbell, three, and Ray Grant,
who lags away behind, with only
one.
The 900 block fares pretty we'll
too, having nine babies in five fam
lilies. The families of L. w. East
man, c. o. Sharar, Bill Darling ant
J. c. Hopson each have two little
fairies in their homes, and B. B.
Neal has one.

Almost Half of the Lots
in Sweeney Heights Sold

John L. Sweeney, owner of the
Sweeney Heights addition, reports
that almost half of the lots in tie
second set of thirty-six pairs
opened to the public two weeks
ago, have been sold, and that res
ervations have been asked on a
number of the remaining pairs.
These residence lots have been
selling with greater speed than Mr..
Sweeney anticipated. In fact, he
had not intended putting the sec
ond subdivision on the market until
next spring. The first subdivision
was completely sold out within
three weeks after being opened.
Two purchasers of lots in the first
tract have disposed of their prop
erty at material profit and made
larger purchases in the second.

Federal Inspection
of Arizona Products
Will Extend Market

Federal inspection as a means OF
raising quality and extending mar
kets for Arizona farm products is
making real stride ahead this
summer, with laying of the founGa-
tion for federal hay inspection and
Inauguration of federal cantaloupe
inspection
Yesterday marked the opening, in
Mesa, of a department of agricul-
ture course in the new government
alfalfa hay grades, designed as al
educational movement by which
hay buyers, gardeners and dealers
can get thoroughly acquainted with
the newly established grades and
in turn, acquaint growers with
them. This is expected not only to
make possible material raising in
the standards of hay shipped, but
pave the way for regular federal
hay inspection next season, by
which time the grades will be in
effect throughout the country.
Nearly a score of buyers, graders
and interested growers are in ii
tendance.
The school is in charge of two of
the federal hay experts, and was
arranged by the Maricopa County
Hay association with cooperation
of the Arizona Industrial Congress.
1t will last approximately three
weeks, and is the second course of
it's kind to start in the country.
The end of this week federal in
spection of cantaloupe shipments
will be started in the Salt River
valley, federal inspector having
been obtained by the industrial
congress on request of several in
dependent shippers and growers.
This inspection will prove of great
benefit in making cash sales of the
melons in advance of arrival at
terminal markets, and also will be
valuable in improving packing.

cured a judgment against Gus
Meade for $1O8.9O and costs in Su-
perior court Monday. Judgment

lided at the race track near Wins
low. The Overland sedan driven by
Meade was completely wrecked aud
the Chevrolet coupe driven by
Pritchard was damaged to the
amount of the judgment

TYPICAL 40 LAST
CHANCE BAR TO BE
FEATURE AT FEST

When slippery Slim" proprietor
of the Last Chance Bar" opens
his establishment at Flagstaff on
July 2, the key to the saloon will
be thrown over the top of Frisco
Peaks. From then on, through four
hectic days and nights, visitors to
the Elks' 49 show will be treated
to taste of what life was really
like in the "days of gold"
Located in a typical weather
beaten frame shack, the bar will
be built entirely of beer kegs, the
standby of the early-day saloon
keeper. Rough timber and lumber
only will be used for the tables,
chairs and furnishings. Sperm oil
lights, candles and other methods
of illumination used in the Days
of '49" will be in evidence in the
establishment
The presence of slippery Slim, y
owner and proprietor of the estab-
lishment, probably will be sufficient
to insure more or less harmony, for
it is rumored that Slim had a dozen
notches in his gun when he first
opened up the wet goods emporium.
In the event, however, that as
sistance will be necessary, the
services of four unnamed 'huskies"
have been secured to carry out the
dead. Four bartenders will dis
pense the "red eye" and kindred
concoctions to the thirsty gatherers.
while the perquisites of every re-
spectacle saloon of '49 will be oper-
ating full blast for the benefit Of
customers.
81 look for business to be right
smart" Slim asserted recently to
one of his confidential cronies.
What with payday and all, the
boys will prob'ly be some thirsty,
but I'm ready for EN- 1 figure to
have six men besides the bar
tenders, working three shifts to
keep up with the cracked ice de-
mand, and couple of twenty-muIe
teams haulin' steady to keep the
joint in wet goods"
The Last Chance Bar is only one
of the many attractions which will
be prepared for the entertainment
of visitors who attend the days of
'49" celebration which will be
staged at Flagstaff from July to
5 under auspices of the Flagstaff
Elks lodge.

New Road to Connect
Payson With Winslow

That the people of Payson are
petitioning the Gila county board Of
supervisors for a new road to lead
out of Gordon canyon connecting
with the Winslow road, is word
brought back from Payson this
week by R. G. Kaufman, who, with
George Hammond, made a trip into
the Payson and Pine country Tues
day.
The board of supervisors already
has pledged it's support to the road.
provided certain number of sig
natures are secured, and it is re-
ported that there is no doubt the
number will be obtained. In that
event Pleasant valley will be
opened to Winslow and much Of
the buying that country will be
done with Winslow merchants. The
road, however, probably will not be
in shape for travel until next year
if the work starts as soon as is ex-
pected.
Mr.. Kaufman reports also that
the Pine creek community deliv
cred 800 head of cattle to a Cali
fornia buyer at Camp Verde Friday,
which is the first shipment of cat
tie they have made on an advance
contract for four years. They have
another advance contract for 1000
head to be shipped either from
Camp Verde or Winslow in the fall
A very satisfactory price for the
shipment made Friday was given
the stockmen, it is reported, year
lings bringing $24, two-year-olds
$28 and three-year-olds $34.
AS to road conditions on the way
to Pine, Mr.. Kaufman says that
after the new work on the Sunset
Pass road, which is still soft, is
passed, the road through Long Val
ley is very good and beyond that
the roads are almost perfect.
w. T. Randall has transformed
his ranch home at the foot of
Strawberry hill into a tavern, Mr..
Kaufman says, and as it is near
several good fishing creeks that
have been stocked by the game de-
partment this spring, the place
probably will prove quite popular
as a resort, it is thought.

Economical to Live In
France, Says Bob Pincetl

Letters received from Bob PiE-
cetl, who is visiting in France, state
that he finds the cost of living quite
a bit lower there than here. And
some Of the items he mentions
mean living high, too. For in
stance, he quotes Three Hennessey
at 60c pint, and five-year-oid
wines at zoe quart A fine three
course dinner can be had for 35c.
Pincetl says that about half the
women of France are still in
mourning for menfolk killed in the
war, and that there are about five
times as many women as men in
that country.
