save his life following an attack of
appendicitis.
The attack of appendicitis which
proved fatal came upon him at SAT-
ford where he was playing with the
company on the night of May IL. He
was brought to a hospital here Thurs

GRAFTON last Friday afternoon. It is

fant child had been making their home
in Douglas for several weeks at the

PHOENIX, May 19.-Increased de-
mand for general farm help and for
haying and lettuce workers was evi,
dent in Arizona during april, accord
ing to the monthly report of Ounce
Record, district director for the fed
eral employment service with offices
at Denver made public today. Resi-
dent farm labor and demand were
quite evenly balanced"
Industrial plant activities were
steady with slight upward trend
noted at plants manufacturing build
ing materials and general construction
equipment Considerable employment
was afforded chiefly unskilled labor
on large municipal Improvement pro-
grams in many cities and towns of the
state, says the report.
Metal mining was increasingly ac-
tive, particularly in, the Tombstone,
Tucson, Bisbee, Globe, Jerome, Mann
moth, Prescott and Ajo districts. There
was a small shortage in skilled labor
Considerable activity was noted in as
bestos mining, While moderate sur>
plus of logging and lumDering work
ers exists in the Flagstaff district.
this condition, it was indicated, would
revert to normal early in June when
the large sawmill at Flagstaff and
one at McNary- will resume activity.
Highway construction was lncreas
ingly active, Mr.. Record noted, and tho
laying of new steel on several rail
road lines over the state provided en-
ployment for a sizeable number OF
workers.
The report gave Labor conditions
over the state by districts as follows:
Phoenix-An improvement was noted
il practically all lines of industrial
activity during April with indications
for further Improvement during
May. The surplus of building labor
in March has been reduced to min
imum. There is a demand for gen
eral farm workers. Industrial plant
tabor is ample. Building and general
construction is increasingly active.
Work has been started on the double
tracking of railway line between
Phoenix and Glendale. Increased ac-
tivities in metal has made the supply
of skilled workers not quite equal to
the demand.
Tucson-A gradual upward trend is
noted in practically all lines of in
dustrial activity, and the winter sur
plus of chiefly unskilled labor has
been absorbed practically in seasonal
outdoor pursuits. Cotton planting in
creases the demand for agricultural
labor. Building is increasing gradu-
ally and includes a considerable num-
Der of residences. Work on a new
tourist hotel will commence within 80
days: building is ample. Metal min
ing is expanding and rail activities
are steady. A small shortage of skill
ed miners is apparent.
Bisbee-. Warren Lowell district =
Metal mining, chiefly copper, con-
tinues active and considerable devel-
opment work is noted. Employment
is on the increase and a small num-
Der of skilled metal workers would
find little difficulty in securing en-
ployment

Work on North-South
Highway Progressing;
Means Shorter Route

Work on the north and south high
way from McNeal towards Douglas is
progressing rapidly, several miles be-
ing already completed and several
miles more well along toward com
pletion
A crew of men is now stationed at
Moffatt's corner at work on a con-
crete bridge. The road will be run
from Moffatt's corner at work on a
concrete bridge. The road will be
run from Moffatt's corner towards

and will not follow the present route
of the Central highway. This will
shorten the road by several miles.
