PAY N TAKIT GROCERY
CHAIN BUYS FLAGSTAFF
CENTRAL CONNER CIAL

Purchase last week of the Central
Commercial company of Flagstaff by
the Arizona Grocery company will eni
able the latter company to reduce
prices in its northern Pay N Takit
grocery stores, was the announcement
on Monday of officials of the Arizona
Grocery company.
The purchase was also, it was an
nounced, part of the 1927 develop
ment program of the Arizona Grocery
company, which is adding seven more
Pay N Takit groceries to its Arizona
chain, to make 81 in all. This not
counting the two wholesale houses,
one here and one in Phoenix.
Inventory of the Central CONNER
cial company's big wholesale grocery
stock began last week and was COM
pleted this week. The new owners
took the business over as of May 1.
Jay Gates of Kingman, president,
and F. E. Coles of Phoenix, director
of the Central Commercial company,
which still retains its big wholesale
and retail business in Kingman, were
here for several days with Paul Nor
ton, local manager, and the Arizona
Grocery company was represented by
Craig T. Allen, general credit man
ager and C.. E. Jenkins, general buy
er, both of Phoenix, and r. E. Nelson,
who came from Phoenix to take over
the management of the wholesale
house for the new owners.
The Arizona Grocery officials said
Monday that with the wholesale house
here, and continuing the wholesale
business, as they will, they will be able
to buy in carload lots, getting better
quantity discounts than heretofore,
and also through getting goods in
carload lots effecting substantial saw
ings in freight. These savings, they
said, would be passed on to the
patrons of the Pay N Takit stores in
Flagstaff, Winslow and Prescott.
Negotiations are now under way for
the purchase of the Duffy Bros. gro
Gerry in Williams, and in the event
that it is bought, it will become a
Pay N Takit store.
Included in the negotiations for the
purchase of the Duffy brothers inter-
ests, it is understood, will be the Flag
staff NJ and NJ self serving grocery,
opened here two years ago, under
management of Jerry Duffy.
In addition to the 18 retail stores
now operating, two are being con-
structed in Phoenix, two in Tucson,
one in Florence, one in Scottsdale. If

Self-Feeders Not Good
for Calf, SAYS Expert

Dairy calves do not have sense
enough to balance their ration for
suitable growth. After three years,
the South Dakota agricultural college
finds that calves given access to a
s~elf-feeder get too fat or eat such ex-
pensive feeds as TO make their gains
too costly.
The self-feeders were filled with
corn, ground oats and whole oats, lin
seed oil meal, bran, alfalfa and the
minerals salt and bonemeal. During
the experiment the calves developed
ricketts,. This Is a result of insufficient
minerals or poor assimilation. AS
plenty of minerals was supplied, 1t
was assumed that the calves could
not assImilate what they ate. The
calves were kept In a barn rather
better supplied with sunlight than
the average. However, the sunlight
cane through the ordinary glass.
Calves should be exposed to the d.
rect rays Of the sun at least one hour
daily, says Thomas Olson, who con
Quoted the experiment.

TO CHILD
WELFARE PROGRAM

Improved desertion and n~on-support
legislation is considered by State Sen
ator Sherman w. Child Of Minneapo-
lis, Mimi, to be the most important
single item In the American Legion's
child welfare program recently In
augurated to obtain better laws In
various states. Senator Child, an at
torney, has been appointed vice chair
man of the Legion's national child
welfare committee to guide the legis-
latlve phase of this work.
"Desertion and nonsupport laws
should be improved In order to make
extraditlon easier" Senator Child
said. Even In those states where ex-
cellent laws regarding desertion and
nonsupport exist, extradition often 10
made impossible for various reasons
Usually the wife must furnish the
money to extradite the husband, and
1t Is the wife who needs her husbands
support to properly care for their
children who cannot furnish the
the money for e~xtradItion.
"Also, the public's sympathy does
not 60 out to a deserted wife as II
does TO the widow In needy circum-

stances, although her situation often
Is more critical In the ease of deser-
ton than 1t would be- II the husband
had died."
Senator Child places improved de-
sertion and %nonsupport legislation at
the top of what he calls a minimum
program he has arranged for Legion
officials Of the various states.
I'm the last decade there has been
a tremendous swing of public opin-
ion to the economy of child welfare
legislation" he said. 1.-THE American
Legion Is In q strategic position to
give direction and leadership to the
national impulse. The Legion is the
natural advocate Of that higher pa
triotism which looks forward to an
improved rae and an improved ability
to maintain high standards of living
and production.
1.-THE problem under our government
Is a state problem and the immediate
control over legislation to support
this end Is In the state legislatures.
Besides the desertion and nonsup-
port legislation, u minimum pro-
gram calls for q widowed mothers
allowance law c%0nsonant with the
conditions In each state; the creation
Of q central children's bureau In each
state under a proper state depart
ment, and the provision for an unpaid
county children's bureau. A state
commission of interested persons, ap-
pointed by the governor, to study the
matter and codify the laws is rec
commended.
MATTERS like supervision Of child
caring institutions, organization of
courts handling juvenile d%elinquents
and preventing dependency will be
considered In states which already
have the minimum provisions"

Che
DAIRY
1MNA7-5T.s NJ
ECONOMY TO
DAIRY FEED

Grinding soy bean and coarse alfalfa
hay, In an attempt to make them bet
ter feeds for dairy cattle, Is of doubt
ful economy, judging from the results
OF Investigations carried put last year
by the dairy department Of the col
lege or agriculture, University of Tli-
nois.
Comparison was made with whole
hay and with hay chaffed by means Of
a silo filler. About IA per cen Of the
whole soy bean was refused, the
refuse being coarse stems, while only
2.5 per cent Of the chaffed hay and 2
per cent of the ground hay were re-
fused. The gain in digestible matter
through chatting and grinding was es-
timated to be about 30 pounds a ton,
or about 5 per cent for each process.
This small gain was due to the fact
that the stems were SO much lower
In nutritive value than the other por-
lions OF the hay. The labor and power
required were about five times as
great for grinding as for chatting.
There was less advantage In grind
Ing and chatting the alfalfa hay than
In the case of the soy bean hay. Only
5 per cent of the whole hay was left
uneaten, and chatting and grinding
resulted In the refusal of only ] per
cent of the hay prepared in these
ways. Here again, grinding proved q
much more expensive process than
chatting.
The results of the feeding trial
showed that, In both the soy bean hay
and alfalfa hay trials, the amount Of
milk produced a ton Of hay fed was
practically the same regardless OF
whether the hay was fed whole,
chaffed or ground. The Pennsylvania
Experiment station has reported that
digestion trials carried out with al
falfa hay showed practically no effect
of grinding upon the digestibility OF
the hay. 1t is concluded, therefore,
that grinding of hay is Of doubtful
economy unless labor and power are
relatively cheap and hay and other
feeds relatively high priced. The
chatting Of soy bean hay having
coarse stems proved to be a fairly
economical procedure.
