J. SMITH DAMRON AT WlCKEN.
BURG

j. Smith Damron, the Potter
Craftsman, who will appear at Wick
enburg on the High School enter
tainment course ON the evening of
February 9Th, has made hosts of
friends all over the country wherever
he has delivered his unique enter
tainment demonstration, "The Potter
and the Clay"
The art of pottery-making is one
of the Oldest handicrafts known to
man, and one that is rapidly becom-
ing extinct in America. Mr. Damron
is skilled craftsman, having worked
as a practical potter for years, and
he gives with marvellous skill dem
onstration of this time-honored art,
accompanied by pithy and humorous
character building lessons.
Mr. Damron is doing the work hes
loves, Not only does he hold the
attention of his audiences, keeping
the eye, ear and mind entertained
with his practical demonstrations of
the art of pottery making, but the
cordial, courteous and kindly spirit
of the man himself is felt by all who
spend an evening in his presence.
He is a humorous and thorough stu
dent of human life, as well as a
master potter.
So great has been his popularity
that in 1921 the United States gov
ernment sent him to the Panama
Canal Zone to entertain government
employeesl He gave his entertain
ment fifteen times in the government
club houses there.
Scores of letters pour into the Of
fees of the Redpath Bureau, through
which Mr. Damron comes here, tes-
tifying to the immense favor in
which he is held by American audi
ences.

DESERT LAND BILL
BENEFITS ARIZONA

Many Arizona citizens will benefit
by the bill passed by the house of
representatives is the opinion express
sed recently by George r. Wickham,
former assistant commissioner of the
general land office, in Washington.
D. c., now located in Phoenix in the
Ellis Building.
This bill authorizes the secretary
of the interior to grant additional
time to desert land entrymen for a
period not exceeding three years,
where the desert land entryman has
failed to secure water for the irriga-
ton of this land. under existing laws
the total time for extension has been
limited to nine years. The new bill
just passed by the house provides for
three years in addition to that mum
ber
OF course, it is not known just
what action the senate may take, but
have every reason to believe the
interior department has given it's full
Endorsement to the bill. If the sen
ate can clear it's calendar to reach
this bill before adjournment on Mar
4, it is very probable the house bill
will be concurred in.
The bill was given unanimous
vote in the house of representatives,
indicative of widespread demand
throughout the public land states for
the enactment of such legislation
John r. Towles, register of the
u. S. Land Office in Phoenix, has ex-
pressed the belief that the legislation
passed by the house will be quite
beneficial to quite number of desert
land entrymen in Arizona. 1t is es-
timated that several thousand entry
men will be entitled to the relief pro-
vided by the bill should it be finally
enacted into law.

assassination of some official by en-
ragged relatives of executed convicts

was pointed out by the Star editor
that notorious criminals executed
should be blotted out of all exist

lime, along with every vestige of
their belongings even to the rope

Santa Fe freight representative, de-
clared that the marketing problem is
the crux of all the farmers troubles.
1T must be solved and re-arranged
so that the farm producer may re

charge that merchandise brokers were
the cause of economic troubles or
high prices, but the consideration OF
those subjects ought to be a part OF

cations at the present time for mid
year entrance would seem to indicate
a registration that will considerably
exceed 600.
The dormitories have been so crow

be housed in private homes and their

of young women. Even with this ar
rangement more than one-half of the
young women are crowded two to a

At the present time the teachers of
Arizona must go outside of the state

Tempe Normal school already meets
the requirements of teachers college

so per cent of the teachers colleges.

PURERRED LIVESTOCK
BRINGS BETTER RETURNS

In every important point of COM
parison, purebred meat animals
show superiority over grades and
especially over scrubs, according to
reports from farmers received by
the Bureau of Animal Industry,
United States Department Of Agri-
culture.
In the experience of stock owners
who are in a position to make COM
parisons, purebred animals produce
better meat, develop more rapidly,
are more uniform in quality and ap-
pearance, sell better on dull mark
cts, cost but little more to raise, and
bring better prices. The following
typical comments illustrate the sue
cess which many breeders have had
ii disp0sing of purebred stock as
meat animals:
"I always find that purebreds are
ready for market in far less time
than scrubs and grades"
"Our bull veals at 2 weeks old are
as large as scrub calves at 6 weeks.
"I find I can get around 2 cents
pound more, live weight, for pure
breds, as they are more uniform"
"With hogs, purebred litters are
more uniform in size, develop more
evenly, and put on fat more quick
ly."

SOY-BEAN SEED BUYERS
VICTIMS OF "CHEAP" SEED

Because he thought that farmers
don't know BEANS" a certain ex-
plOiter of soy-bean seed is now re-
vising his opinion while serving a
term in the penitentiary for viola
ton of the postal fraud law. Some
farmers "do know BEANS" and when
some of these better posted soy
bean growers recently received ship
ments of Tarheel Black instead of
the OtoOtan which they had ordered,
the matter was called to the atten-
ton of the Post Office Department
and the United States Department of
Agriculture.
Investigation by the Post Office Of
ficials disclosed the fact that this
lone operator was advertising the
higher-priced variety, Otootan, for
sale at about one-half the regular
market value and doing a tremend-
GUS business. His plan called for no
shipment of beans of any variety
until the customer became insistent,
and then he substituted the cheaper
Tarheel Black. He was brought to
trial and convicted of fraudulent
use of the mails. Because of the high
prices of the Otootan and Laredo va
rieties there has been considerable
substitution of the cheaper black va
rieties, such as Wilson, Ebony or
Black Beauty, Peking, and Tarheel
Black.
The moral in this little story, says
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture, is not only to know soy
bean varieties, but to buy soy-bean
seed from reliable and established
seedsmen or growers, and beware
of Cheap seed" There are others
still at large ready to exploit the
farmers inability to identity the nu-
merous varieties of soy beans. The
prospective purchaser of seed should
obtain samples before buying, and if
not sure of the identity of the seed
should consult the county agent or
the State Agriculture College. Be
sure you are getting the variety de-
sired and not some cheap substi-
tute.

TUBERCULOSIS DEATH RATE
MAKES MARKED DECREASE

Although the death rate from tu-
berculosis has fallen from 201 to
1900 to 81 in each 100000 of popu-
lation in 1923, due in large measure
to the organized fight against tuber-
culosis, this diseases will never be
entirely eradicated until there are
adequate health departments in ev-
cry city, county and state, and until
the standard of living for all is
raised to a higher level. This opin-
ion was expressed by Gr. Linsly R.
Williams, managing director of the
National tuberculosis Association,
at the opening session Of that Or
ganization's twenty-frst annual
meeting at Minneapolis, this week.
Continuing his argument DR.. Will
liams said: "Such standards Of liv-
ing as are deemed adequate and
such health measures as are proven
to be proper, cannot be carried out
by individuals unless the people are
sufficiently intelligent, and educa-
tional opportunities are offered so
that information may be distributed
to every family in the land"
DR.. Williams advocated in his an
nual report closer cooperation with
health departments by the tubercu-
1osis associations of the country, and
a united effort to improve the gen
eral community health machinery.
