During the week just past east

New York and Chicago, have been
stronger and quotations have adj

buyers toward fresh butter instead
of storage stock, of which there is,
as yet, a liberal supply available
Reports from producing sections

same extent.
The receipts of eggs as indicated
by figures furnished by the U. S..
Department of Agriculture show
that egg production at the present
time is below that of a year ago.
There has been a noticeable tend
ency for egg selling values to work
to lower levels in line with expect

the buying : demand for current
consumption is good and at present
quotations the market appears to
be fairly steady.

The matter of an adequate wat

Last year nearly $4,000 was ex-

2Glenwood came through the
ninth district tournament as
champions when they defeated
Bertha, champions of class B
schools, Saturday night in the local
gym before one of the largest
crowds ever assembled here. Stand
ing room was at a premium, en-
thusiastic fans from all the con-
tending cities and villages attend
ing in large bodies.
Without a doubt this was one of
the most interesting tournaments
held here, and local fans have good
reason to be proud of their team
in its struggle for supremacy
against Glenwood. The Sank Gen.
tire boys gave the champions their
hardest battle of the tourney and
went down to defeat in sporty fash
ion, which, no doubt, gave them the
craftsmanship trophy.
The elimination contest opened
with Sank Centre and Glenwood
in one of the very fastest games
played here, and the latter were
only victors by three points.
Glenwood %, Sank Centre 10
Glenwood scored first in the
tourney when Bergan, guard,
came through with a counter. I'm
mediately following Lewis scored
for Sank Centre with free throw
and followed with long shot for
two more points. Peterson and
O'Gara came through in the early
part of the game with counters
and the first quarter ended 8 to 5
for the locals.
During the second quarter Sank
Centre was unable to score while
the champions garnered 8 points
for a total of 10, thereby taking
the lead and winning the game.
The third quarter ended 10 to Is,
and the final score of % to 10, is
absolute evidence that the victors
had no walk away. With a few
breaks in shooting free throws and
baskets the locals might have gone

new PROJECTS
In Aqua PRIETA
WILL Be PUSHED

The various committees of the
Aqua Prieta common council and
OF the chamber of commerce that
were appointed to confer with Gov
ernor Fausto Topete, of Sonora, in
regard to the different improve
ments that are proposed for this
district are preparing the final
papers in the projects and will sub
nit them to Governor Topete for
approval and signature on Friday
Governor Topete is expected here
in the morning on his way to Naco-
zari; which city he will visit as he
did Douglas and Aqua Prieta a week
ago. 1t is thought that the execu-
tive will come north from Hermo-
sillo today and spend the night in
Naco, coming on to Aqua Prieta
this morning. to take up the final
papers on the improvement pro-
gram with the committees here be-
fore taking the Saturday morning
train south for the mining camps.
The improvement projects include
a street lighting program which
will light the main street at once,
and additional streetI as additional
funds are made available. Another
part of the project and perhaps the
Iaost important is that Of construct
ing a sewer system for the muni-
cipaIity. This sewer system will
now be built in conjunction with
the system operated in Douglas so
that both cities will have adequate
and sanitary sewage disposal.
The third project, that of build
ing the highway from Aqua Prieta
to Cananea, will also be pushed to
early completion, according to the
officials here, who are already pre-
pairing to start the construction.
This will mean a good communica-
lion between the Sonora mining and
smelling town ana Aqua Frieta and
Douglas. The only good road that
comer out now leads through Naco
and is not in the( best of condition.
