Words of encouragement were spok-

The president had left his auto
mobile for the first time during the
trip about the farm to receive a
miniature irrigation shovel from
w. G. Rucholz, secretary to the sta
ton. Several hundred farmers and
their wives gathered about the car.
Il have been very interested in
viewing the progress of this irriga-
ton project, Mr.. Coolidge said.
1--WE were not certain that it
would be a success but more recent
experiments have demonstrated that
it is asucceSs.
Il believe that it will contribute
to the welfare of this section, that
it will sustain and increasing popu-

the productivity of the soil IN this

he was invited to make his home in

The joint road committee of the

merce will convene this evening at the

definite action toward securing high
way paving for the Douglas-Rodeo
unit of highway 80.
At a meeting of the Douglas half

careful study of the road budget issued
by the Arizona state highway COM
mission brought forth expressions of
rage and dismay when it was discover
ed that this budget, if put into effect
would, it is indicated, mean that hun
dreds of thousands of dollars are to
be spent this year merely for MAIN
tenance of highways that should in
stead be paved and that could be
paved for the same amount of money.
A number of things of vital import
ance have come to the attention of
the committee and it is expected that
drastic action will be called for at the
meeting tonight AS the Douglas and
Bisbee sections s6fs the committee have
come to pool their interests in the
combined cooperative effort to secure
something besides controversy for the
