Cincinnati, Ohio, Sept. 20.
-CUP)-Earthquake shocks
we're felt shortly after 5 p.
m. Monday in many Ohio

pitfalls were disturbed when
their beds rocked and nurses
had difficulty in quieting
them.
Weather bureau officials
blamed the disturbance to
the slipping of a strata un-
der the earth's surface. Sew
eral such movements have
occurred IN the last so years
without serious damage,
they said.

ROBBER TRIO RAID
HOMES AT La PALMA
Captured Offenders Were
Led By Convict Out

Headed by a convict out
on parole, a small gang of
thieves perpetrated several
successful forays in the La

thieves and followed them
to Mesa, where a deputy

force joined them. The
trail led them to Phoenix
where the splendid work of
the Florence and Mesa Of
ficers yas shown and the

EAT SURPLUS WHEAT

They don't raise much
wheat out in Arizona. But
they evidently know how to
use it. Comes the following
from from the Desert:
Get from your grocer "in
bulk" good fat grains of
wheat; five pounds at first
but you'll want more soon.
Wash it,
Soak it. (hot water hast
ens)
Cook it-well
Salt it.
And you have the best
cereal ever served on a
breakfastable.
Little drops of water,
Little grains of wheat,
You wash and soak and
boil them.
And then you salt and eat.
o, yes, you've got to chew
them!
You chew and chew and
chewl
Ha! ha! says Doctor
Merryface,

And thus our crushing

SCHOOL NEWS

Plans for beautifying the
school grounds have been
submitted and accepted by
the board. The entire
grounds will be surrounded
with Chinese Elm, Eucalyp-
tus and Arizona ash spaced
forty feet apart.
The east and west sides of
the building will be shaded
with Chinese elm and spaced
twenty feet apart. The en-
tire building and patio will
be surrounded with shrubs,
tall and heavy planting
on corners and single rows
along the sides with low
shrubs under the windows.
Eight shrub groups will be
planted along the ditch to
set off the building from the
rest of the grounds. The
entire planting is guaranteed
against loss of vitality for
ninety days. All shrubbery
is ordered by Delbert Wheat
manager from the Riverside
Nurseries of Phoenix. The
following plants and trees
are ordered and will be
planted on the Coolidge
school grounds this fall.

Ranger H. l.. Palmer is
slightly indisposed and is
spending part of his two
weeks vacation in bed. The
strenuous responsibility of
the summer work during the
construction period of the
several buildings, and the
guiding of thousands of
sight seers through the ruins
made it necessary for H. L..
Palmer to regain some of his
vitality and he is taking a

Mrs. H. l.. Palmer was
suffering all summer with
some infection of the right

will trouble her no more;
