Arizona Lettuce
Shipments Start
East Via Santa Fe

An average Of 20 carloads of
Arizona grown lettuce will pass
through Winslow daily over the
santa Fe from now on until the
lettuce shipping season ends, ac-
cording to local railroad officials.
Most of it is from the Salt River
valley. The initial shipments left
PhoeniX the first of the week,
about 500 carloads being shipped
70 start the season. Virtually all
OF it is headed east, part going via
Southern Pacific and part via San
ia Fe.
Beginning today a steady stream
OF cars topping the one hundred
mark is expected to carry lettuce
from the valley to the world at
large, providing favorable weather
conditions prevail, such as plenty
OF sunshine and little night frost
growers declare.
Federal Inspection Starts
Federal Lettuce inspection, inau-
gurated at Phoenix this month for
its fourth consecutive season, pro
misses to set a new record in use
by shippers this year. The service
is not onlyNin greater demand in
the Salt River Valley, but has been
extended to the Florence-Cas
Grande Valley for the first time
wit hthe possibility that it may be
desired in Yuma later.
Federal lettuce inspectors are
now stationed for the winter, sea-
son at Phoenix, Glendale, Mesa
and Casa Grande, and have already
exceeded all previous records for
the number of inspections the first
two weeks of the Arizona winter
lettuce movement
Service is Optional
The service is purely optional
but is in excellent demand among
shippers for it's value in facilitat-
ing cash and advance sales, as the
government certificates give buy
ers, an impartial and trustworthy
assurance of quality, This bene-
fit automatically reacts to the ad-
vantage of growers, which was The
chief consideration in development
Of the service through efforts ot
the Arizona Industrial Congress
which acts as agent of the Depart
ment of Agriculture in handling its
details.
Federal inspection service alst
is now regularly available during
the cantaloupe and grape shipping
seasons, and the Industrial Con
lgress has received assurance il
swill be extended to other parts 0
the state as rapidly as needed.

Building Ruined
ByFnie Renewed;
To Open Friday

When fire destroyed the interior
OF the building which housed the
City Electric Shoe Shop and the
WinsIow Jewelry Company on
Kinsley Avenue, it was looked up
on as more or less of a calamity,
not only for the business men so
unceremoniouSly evicted, but for
the business district. However,
the building has been refinished
and remodeled, and the results are
such an improvement to the down
town section that the incident of
the fire can be overlooked.
The new building will be occu-
pied Friday by the City Electric
Shoe Shop, which, since the fire,
has been in temporary quarters
on Front street. The shoe estab-
lishment will be located in the
north section of the building,
which was formerly occupied by
the jewelry firm.
F. A. Mazza, proprietor of the
shoe shop, stated yesterday that
he would have shop even more
modern than his former establish
ment, with new stocks and machin-
cry, and full equipment to care for
the needs of his customers.
The southern portion Of the
building will be occupied by Char
les Daze, veteran transfer and fuel
man, who was forced to move
from his former location by the
building of the new Opera House.
Mr.. Daze has for some time been
