ARIZONA WHEAT
PROSPECTS GOOD
100000 Bushel Crop Fore
cast In u. S. Report

The average condition of
fall and winter wheat in Ari-
zona on May l was 80 per
cent of the normal compared
with 95 per cent reported on
May l, 1880, according to a
report issued by the United
States crop reporting board.
With no change from the
present, a total grain equiva-
lent production of 1,107, 900
bushels is in prospect, it was
reported.
General growing condi-
tions have been favorable to
the crop almost since plant
ing time. The abandon
ment of the fall and winter
sown wheat. however, was 2
per cent on May 1. That
is somewhat higher than the
figures reported for the
abandonment a year ago.
Small grains are maturing
at a rapid rate in central
and southern valleys of Ari-
zona. Harvest is under way
in the earlier fields. Thresh-
ing should be general in all
fields Of the lower elevations
by the first week of June if
the present rate of maturing
is maintained, it was pointed
out.
The condition of tame hay
in Arizona on May l, was
reported at "a per cent of
the normal compared with
95 per cent, the condition a
year ago. In all lower
reaches of the state cutting
of alfalfa have been good
with little loss reported from
rain. Grain hays are being
cut and yields appear to be
running from a ton to a ton
and a half per acre, it was
stated. The growth of noun
tain alfalfa is encouraging.

Los ANGELES Wife
GIVEN SENTENCE IN

'dle-age housewife, who con-
fessed that she whipped a

fections, was given a sus-

ier in the week when she ad-
mittd that she lashed Miss
Lois Fournier, %, with a
switch cut from a tree. She
was given suspended sem
tence of 80 days and six
months probation.
The trial disclosed that
the whipping occurred after
Mrs. Baxter's 20-year old
daughter, Gladys Baxter,
had made a trip to Aqua
Caliente. The daughter, ac-
cording to Mrs. Baxter, told
her that she saw Miss Fourn-
ier and Harry C. Baxter, the
husband and father, at the
Mexican resort.
Miss Fournier brought
battery charges. She denied
that she had ahenated Bax-
ter's affections and declared
that her relations with him
were strictly in a business
way. She once worked for
him as a bookkeeper.
"She broke up 23 years of
happy married life," the
convicted woman said. I de-
.cided that matters had
gone far enough and took
things in my own hands"

Der and reports of the recent

nix. Mrs. Mary A. Lane was

tended. Mrs. T. T. Terrell

the convention which stress
ed the giving of proper at
tention to "Child Develop
ment;;" Mrs. Asa Gardner

ing and less to food for the
stomach; to be mindful of

F|RESTONE DEALERS
PREPARED TO BEAT
MAIL ORDER TIRES
Money Saved On Raw Ma
terials, Manufacturing
Selling

''Firestone is using its i'm
mense resources in rubber
plantations, manufacturing
equipment, warehousing and
service dealer organization
to support the principle that
the prosperity of the local
dealer and merchant is vital
to the growth of every COM
munity," says Appel & Sons
Firestone distributors here.
"The company's national
tire distribution of $4,000
outlets is built around local
organizations which are part
of the community, in con-
trast to mail order houses.
values are on the side of
the manufacturer and the To-
cal dealer. The mail order
houses buy their tires from
a manufacturer who will not
put his name on them. Fire
stone makes its own pro-
ducts, put its name on it, and
sells it, through local dealers
who spend their money To-
cally. There is no jobber or
middleman or mail order
system involved.
Our sales are promoted
by local newspapers adver-
tising supported by national
advertising, and the mail or
der houses through an ex-
pensive catalog, which isn't
even printed locally. The
mail order houses have to
maintain central warehouses
just as Firestone does, and
they have to keep large or
ganizations tabulating, cor
responding and shipping at
distant points, which is a
much more expensive way
Of operating than through
a dealer organization"
According to Mr.. Appel,
the average motorist is be-
ginning to understand that
he can do better for himself
as we'll as for local business
by walking into a Firestone
dealers service store. We
have cross sections of the
tires, he said, to show that
Firestone offers more tires,
for the same money.

 Corrinne had a sudden swift leap of anger at the girls careless words. So people didn't think she could hold Harry! Then with a sickening sense of loss she realized that Harry no longer belonged to her.
 Harry came over to the aisle along which her counter ran and stood very straight. She wondered how he would approach her with hated scenes. So did she. But she felt her dramatic sense stirring at the surprise which she knew would come when they discovered that she wasn't Rosalee Hyde, a clerk, but Corrinne Merryman Becker.
 But Harry didn't speak. His quizzical, keen gray eyes burrow- ed into her face and then recogni- | rinne stepped down to the end of the aisle, away from the others, and said his name softly. Harry"

 Aunt Nancy had a full program planned. There were to be games both quiet and lively with no prizes. Nancy realized that there were enough heart burnings ahead of the children without starting feeling of jealousy or rivalry at the age of six. Each child had a favor to take home, but all the favors were alike.
 The hours of the party were from three to six At five o'clock there was a simple supper which was planned to take the place of the usual evening meal. This meant that there was less chance of stomach upset than if the party re- treatments had been candy and ice cream on,y After taking the edge off the appetite with sweets it is impossible to get the youngsters to eat their cereal, baked potato and apple sauce which may be part of their regular evening meal.
