PLAN BUILDING
OF FIVEROOMS,
MODERN DESIGN

Rex Rice of Rice and company said
yesterday that work on the new home
which is being built in the 1900 block
on Tenth street by Ed Powell the con-
tractor is progressing rapidly and that
he fully expects that the house will
be finished and sold very soon. Rice
said that this. house will be five rooms,
strictly modern, of the most approved
architecture, with good workmanship.
He says that the house is being built
on two and one-fourth lots and that
the paving is completely paid. The
place will sell for $3.50 regardless of
cost, according to the real estate man.
Rice says that this house is an expert
ment. He says that it is the aim of
those associated in the venture to build
a large number of good homes at a
moderate price range if this one sells
at once.
He said yesterday that he fully eX-
pected that this house would be sold
long before it is completed. There is
a shortage of houses in the city and
for a long time past there has been a
demand Tor suitable dwellings at not
too high price The men associated
in the building of this home have come
to the conclusion that the time is right
to start a building campaign in this
city, they report, and this house is the
start of the campaign.

NEEDS OF BOYS
CAMP lSSTUDY
FOR VISITORS

Making the trip for the purpose OF
gathering the information as to the
changes, improvements and new equip
ment that may be needed for the boys
camp in Pinery canyon, the boys work
secretaries of the Douglas, Bisbee and
Tucson Y. M c. AS will travel to
the camp on Sunday accompanied by
a number of local and Bisbee business
men and by the interstate secretary
of boys work. The persons who it is
now certain will be in the party are
these boys work secretaries: Neil Bull
lion, Tucson; Joseph Hunt, Bisbee;
Jack Deeming, Douglas, and F.. D.
Pierce, the interstate secretary of El
Paso, and Archie Poe, of Douglas, the
treasurer of the camp organization.
1t is already known that well to
supply water for the camp is need
There are certain other improvements
that would greatly aid in making the
camp more suitable for the boys when
they are there for their vacation per-
iod, but it is a matter that will require
a survey ahd then check on the
funds available That will be the OBJ
jective of the visit on Sunday.
There we're 85 boys at the camp last
season and the prospect is that the
number will be materially increased
next season The interest has been
growing and with the more general
and liberal support of the business men
and other friends of the boys work it
is believed that the camp work will
include a much larger number of boys
from each of the cities in the next
vacation period.

PAPERMEN
GIVE new CAR
CRILLlNC TEST

AS guests of Byron Dieckman, local
agent for the Ford car, representa-
tives of the Dispatch rode in the
new model Tudor sedan which was
on display at the showroons on G
avenue yesterday and unanimously
agreed that for power, speed, ease
of control and riding comfort the
new car is all, if not more, than
the advertising has claimed it to be.
Diecknan took the Dispatch repre-
sentatives for real tryout of the
car. The first experience was to
drive south over the street inter-
section dips on E avenue at the rate
of 35 miles an hour. In many OF
the ordinary cars, driven at that
rate of speed, persons sitting in the
rear seat would be liable to strike
the roof of the car with great force,
In the new Ford, when the car
hits the bottom of the dips at that
rate of speed, the body of the car
goes down but does not rebound.
The passenger receives no bump nor
any shaking up He hears the shock
absorbers come sinto violent contact
with the body of the car but does
not feel the effect.
The second test was to drive east
from the 18th street park toward
!Slaughter's ranch over a road that
is full Of ruts and holes. Dieckman
piloted the car from one hole to
another back and forth, across the
highway at a rate of speed varying
from As to SO miles an hour The
passengers agreed among themselves
HI
would not have known that the car
was passing over a rough road
At this high rate of speed DECK
man told the reporter member of the
party that the car gave absolute con-
fidence to the driver. He said that
the machine was as easy to hold
in the road at that speed as 1t
would be at 20 miles an hour The
party noted that there was no side
sway to the car and the factory
agent who was in the car at the
time said that the right angle curve
at the intersection of the highways
east of the 18th street park could
be taken at so miles an hour without
danger because of the construction
of the car which holds the entire
machine on an exact center all the
time.
The test proved to the newspaper
men that the new Ford is fast, that
it is powerful, that it is as easy
riding as any car on the. market,
that it is quiet and is easily handled.
At one time during the drive DiecK-
man spurted to 35 miles an hour in

GrOUerS Warned
Against Diseased
Potato Slips

LITTLE ROCK, June 9.-With the
demand for sweet potato slips con-
tinuing unabated and heavy ship
ments coming from other states,
Paul IL. Millar, chief inspector for
the Arkansas plant board, issued a
second warning TO growers today,
urging them to avoid purchasing
diseased plants from other states,
when certified plants can be OBJ
iained just as cheaply in Arkansas.
Mr.. Millar said shipments are The
heaviest in many years. and that
ulny crates from other states pass
through tile Rock every day. He
said there is danger of heating or
drying in long hauls. which may
render the slips unfit for planting.
Names of about 20 Arkansas
growers. whose plants are certified
by the plant board. can be obtained
from The board. Mr.. Millar said the
quality of these certified slips can
not be duplicated in any other
state.
The continued demand for slips is
believed to result from the flood
causing a late planting season and
destroying many beds which would
have supplied local demand N
some Of the flooded counties.

The peach movement Will be
lighter than expected, the statement
said, due to heavy drop aS result

south of Little Rock, was not esti-
mated to be very heavy. Until re-

percentage of the peaches would
