G. O. P. Called FaithIeSs to
Agriculture by z Senators;
Cite Low Foreign Orders

Market quotations Of new low
prices for wheat and cotton today
were drawing criticism from Dem
ocrats who condemn the new
tariff laws as the source Of all
the trouble.
Led by Senators Connally of
Texas and Thomas of Oklahoma,
they charged Republicans utterly
broke campaign pledges Of agri.
cultural relief and were paying
no attention now to the distress
of thee farmers. Connally, in a
vigorous appeal for aid for the
farmers, called attention to the
fact that there we're but six Re-
publican Senators on the floor
listening. He said!
what, gentlemen, are we
going to do about it? Nothing
of aid can come from fur
ther promises and hypOcritical
speeches. These are facts be-
fore us. No amount Of pIati-
tudinOus observations from the
White House can wash them
out" @
He read into the record quota.
tions from a Republican news
paper showing wheat prices
dipped to a new low for IS
years, land added that cotton was
bringing prices far below the &C
tual cost of production. He
blamed decline in foreign de-
mand due to new high tariff rates
for the price depression. He as
serted:
eff we build our tariff bar.
rierS so high foreign countries
cannot sell to us, they will have
no money to buy our products"
Thomas emphasized Connally'S
remarks, and read from news
papers headlines to show that
wheat growers were losing more
than a billion dollars as result
of the price depreSSions brought
on by the tariff laws"
He predicted something must be
done to relieve the plight of agrl-
culture or financial ruin would
come soon to the wheat and cot
ton growers.

coninet This old city was inhabited
by Indians thousands of years ago
and is visited by hundreds of tour
lists daily, some of them from
across the seas This ancient city
is known as the Casa Grande Ruins
and is now a National monument,
and courteous government custo-
dians act as guides in this city of
a prehistoric people.
There is much of romance in this
picturesque valley surrounded by
mountains and a climate that
makes for health and happiness.
Here you will find an abundan
of sunshine and air that is pure,
dry and exhilarating. Here you will
find virgin soil that will produce
in abundance with little cultivation
and where, if you plant, you are
sure o harvest.
There will be a rapid increase in
land values and if you are inter
ested in this productive valley we
would advise that you arrange to
inspect it as soon as possible.

dents room in the Old Dominion Hotel after the ded-
cation ceremonies Mr.. Jones was presented by John

out. so far, the assistance of capital
other than that of the moderate
means OF home seekers.
Big capital is now investigating.
For where is there a better op-
portunity to make money grow?
There has been well grounded
reasons for the rapid advance of
Coolidge up to date. Its location in
the heart Of an incoming agricul-
tural empire, it's transportation
facilities by rail and highways, the
richness OF adjacent soil and su-
preme climate conditions.
All these things have accounted
for the fact that within the space
of three years it has been selected
for the building of cotton gins, oil
distribution plants. lumber dis
tribution center. hospital, electric
system plant, for machine shops
and well equipped garages that
take care OF the needs of repairs
all over the valley.
Plans have been completed, or

struction this spring, OF a fine Ma

THE CITY OF
OPPORTUNITY

Extract from Arizona Land and
Investment Co. folder.)
Coolidge is located in the heart
of the fertile San Carlos dam prof.
ect watered by the new Coolidge
dam which is now complete and
will make available water for over
one hundred thousand acres of the
best land in the Southwest. Aside
from the land watered by the dam,
there are. several thousand acres
watered by pumping systems, as
there is an inexhaustible supply Of
water ranging in depth from 20 to
so feet.
Coolidge is located on the main
line of the Southern Pacific r. R.
and the Phoenix-Tucson Highway
and, although it is only two years
old, is now thriving little town
that gives promise of becoming a
city in a very few years. Located
as it is in the center of the valley
it is the logical site for large city
and the shipping facilities will
make Coolidge attractive for manu-
featuring enterprises. The land In
this valley is pronounced by soil
experts to be equal, if not superior
to any valley in the state. The
principal crops a the present time
are alfalfa and cotton, and the
growing of lettuce has proven very
profitable in this valley. All winter
garden crops can be grown in
abundance, including cauliflower,
spinach, etc. AS the country devel-
ops, there will be many varieties
of crops as the warm, dry climate
and abundance of water will make
it possible for man to grow what
he chooses. At Coolidge you will

Out Where the Sunsets Light Lifes Pathway With Gold

Also it is definitely known that
outside theatrical interests look
upon Coolidge as a point to include
in their lists to book attractions
that will necessitate the erection
of a beautiful theatre.
The business, professional, and
men in the mechanical trades, with
with fellow members who are
farmers, havealready established a
Masonic lodge, and a flourishing
Lions club holds regular meetings.
Within a few weeks time the Wood
men Of the World are going to es-
tablish a camp. The Rotarians are
in Casa Grande so there is a move
ment to start a branch of Kiwan-
ians in this city.
Western women folks are noted
for their enterprise and ability to
create ideal living conditions about
their homes and communities. The
well organized Womans Club of
Coolidge, has already accomplished
wonderful work, and have inaugur-
ated well defined plans to make of
this a beautiful city. 1t Is surpris-
ing how much they have accom-
plished since the organization of
the club some two years past. They
have a comfortable club house
where well attended meetings are
held regularly.
For advancement Coolidge can
not be rivaled so just let your mind
reflect on the great possibilities
for the future here. The worldwide
publicity given to the dedication
of the Coolidge dam has an unlimit-
ed value in bringing homeseekers
and investors to this favored sec
tion.
Do you know of any part OF
America that has a brighter fu-
ture?

NEW YORK, June 4.-One year ago on May 27, in the living room of her parents home in Englewood, N. J., Anne Morrow became the bride of the worlds foremost bird- man, Charles A. Lindbergh. She wore simple white frock fashion ed by the village dressmaker who had made her clothes since she was little girl, and she carried bou- quet of garden flowers picked by her future husband just a few minutes before the ceremony.
 Since that day the quiet and un- assuming young woman, remem- bered by her college classmates as studious, dreamy, and so shy that even as senior, she suffered when she had to get up before a class ano recite, has:
