Although installment selling has
been greatly extended, there is no
convincing proof that il is bringing

has made far-reaching and important
contributions to the advance in liv-

in the hands of dealers since last
January must be deducted from the
total. 1t is probable thse dealer
stocks will account for 100000 or

Scrutiny Of the registration gains
by states indicates that prosperity
was more widely diffused through
out the country in 1926 than in any
recent year, for there were few out
standing percentage increases. even
in the south or in the grain states
Automotive business. apparently, was
about equally good everywhere.

New York retains its leadership
with a total Of l.8l8.7G5, Il gain Of

RANGE AND CROP CONDITIONS

Absence of storms and abundant
sunshine rendered the week favor
able one for all stock although nights
were cool. Practically no shrinkage
was reported and to quote report
from Cochise county as representing
general conditions, stock is in good
winter condition" There is not suf-
ficient snow on the grazing areas to
interfere with the feeding Of cattle
but in many instances such areas
have been extended by patches Of
snow. Snow continues to accumulate
on the north rim Of the Grand Can
yon where there is now depth of 18
inches. Ewes and lambs in the Salt
River valley are doing we'll on wheat
and barley pasture and lambing is
progressing satisfactorily. While
there has been much freezing in
mountain sections, water is reported
as plentiful in many localities and
ample in others.
Considerable blowing has been done
in both the Salt River and Yuma val
leys for winter grain and the new
crop of cation. Lettuce shipments
continue and planting of the spring
crop has made considerable progress.
Cotton continues to come in in the
lower valleys but gins in the Yuma
section expect to close in about 10
days. Winter truck is doing well in
the growing sections.

MOOSE DANCE

The hard time dance given by the
Moose on Wednesday night was one
Of the most successful, from the
standpoint of real fun, ever spon-
sored by this organization. The fun
began with the hobo parade which
circled around town late in the after
noon. 1t was led by Art Kellenbeck,
A. B. McRae, head of the committee,
being too hard looking fellow to
head the aggregation. Doc Williams
orchestra augmented by old time ac-
Gordon, furnished the music, both for
modem dances and old fashioned
square and fancy figures. Among
others on the committees were John
Nichols, Jimmie Gallagher, Fred JEFF
ferry, Ray Brahmsteadt, Kirk Maxwell
and Frank McMahan. Prizes were
awarded Miss Jessie Myers, Mrs.
Agnes Samsky, James Gallagher and
