BLIND MAN SHOOTS DEER

A certain blind man shoots
a deer in the Kaibab Forest
every year.
The truth of the above is
vouched for by Tommy
Knoles of this city, recently
back from getting his own
deer there.
The man goes out with a
guide, who sights the deer.
He then directs the blind
man where to point stand
ing behind him and without
touchig the rifle sighting
over his shoulder and telling
him whether to raise or low
er the mouth of the barrel,
turn to the left or right. The
blind man is very steady and
when the gun is right in the
estimation of the guide, the
latter says, Ready" and the
blind man shoots. He sell
dom misses, Tommy says

PAY'N TAklT STORE
ROBBED LAST NIGHT

The Pay'n Takit store at
this place was again robbed
some time Thursday night or
Friday morning. The safe
was badly broken but they
failed to get into it. The
cash register belonging to the
Meat department, containing
sixty cents was carried away
and the robbers got about
S1.50 out of the cash regis
ter of the grocery depart
ment. 1t is not known how
much goods were taken. It
seems that about every
month this store receives a
visit. They are going to
make one to many trips and
will land in Florence for a
few years sojourn.

A WEEK OF STORMY DAYS

1t has been quite cold dur
ing the past week. Snow
lies on the higher mountain
ranges and rains fell in CEN
trail and southern sections of
the state. 1t is reported that
killing frost occurred in the
Yuma section.
The cooler weather check
ed the too rapid growth of
lettuce which was welcomed
by the lettuce growers. Cot
ton picking was delayed by
the recent showers and the
citrus groves were too wet to
harvest the fruit which is
ready for shipping in some
sections.
Temperatures at points in
Wyoming, Colorado, New
Mexico and northern Ari-
zona ranged from afew de-
grees above to below zero.

CLUBbED TURKEY
WITH HIS GUN

Ted Spencer of this city
wins the silver-plated wish
bone for greatest prowess as
a turkey hunter.
This story is true.
Saturday Ted went after
'em, armed with his shotgun
and an insouciant optimism.
He laid down behind a log
in the woods and was almost
asleep when a big turkey
hoped up on the log. Ted
shot his head off. The next
flew right past his ear and
Ted hit him with the gun
barrel and killed him.
Ted says gettig wild tur-
keys is no job at all. The
only thing he regrets is he
didn't club 'em both to death
and save the cartridge, but
he didn't think of that until

GOVERNMENT SEEKS
TO UTILIZE HUGE AC-
R|CULTURAL WASTE

Behind the scenes of the
nations changing agricul-
tural drama, government
scientists are seeking to uti-
lize the staggering total of
260, $4,000 tons of farm by
products which annually go
to waste.
The working of these
scientists, bent on pouring
more money into the farm
er's pocket were described in
the annual report of the
agriculture departments
bureau of chemistry and
soils to Secretary Hyde.
DR.. Henry G.. Knight, chief
of the bureau, figures that
for every pound of farm pro-
duce profitably used there
are from one to two and a
half pounds on which the
soil tiller fails to get any
considerable return.
Utilization of these wastes
corn stalks, cotton seed
and rice hulls, fruit and We
getable cullS-iS believed by
him to be of greater econo-
mic Importance than in
creased production, especial
ly in these times of surplus
crops.
To this end, the bureau
carried on more than 500
Investigations last year to
find industrial and CONNER
cial uses for these by-prod-
ucts.
AS an instance, particular
attention was paid to expert
ments in obtaining illuminat-
ing and heating gas by des-
tructive distillation of corn
stalks and other substances.
Attacking farm problems
from another angle, thebu-
reau is pushing its efforts to
prevent destruction of foods
by insects, molds, bacteria,
engines atmospheric influ-
ences such as light, heat,
humidity and deterious gases
explosions and fires.-EX.

FACTS ON EMPIRE
STATE BUILDING

The Empire State Building
-1O2 stories high, if the top
observation platform, II
stories above the eighty-fifth
floor, is included in the esti-
mate-was completed within
a year from setting of the
first column of the building,
days ahead of the schedule,
according to building facts
given out by Col. William A.
Starrett, Of Starrett Brothers
and Eken, Inc., who built the
structure. These facts are
contained in a foreword by
Colonel Starrett to a collec-
tion of drawing of the build
ing in stages of construction,
executed by Vernon Howe
Baily and just published by
William Edwin Rudge.
The first steel columns of
the building were set April
7, 1880, and 25 weeks later
$1,000 tons of steel had been
topped out on the eighty
fifth floor, 81 stories of steel
above the sub-basement level
IL days ahead of the build
ing schedule. AS soon as the
work had been organized
above the sixth floor stone
setting and outside wall con-
struction progressed at the
rate of a story a day, and at
its height, in September,
1880, work on these walls
went ahead at the rate of
over IA stories in 10 working
days. 1t is estimated that
over S2,500,000 of work was
performed every month for
four months, and that at the
peak of the operations 3,400
workmen and 500 different
industries were involved in
the building operations.
In a description of the
building itself, Colonel Star
rett gives some figures on
the materials used in the
construction:
Three hundred tons of
chrome-nickle steel were
used in the pier trims of the
building and $50 tons of alu-
minum were used to make
the spandrels or panels un-
der the windows and in the
mooring-mast ext eri o r.
About 100000 cubic feet of
Indiana limestone, of which
the building exterior is COM
posed, was used and the
structure contains TO-, ,00O,-
600 common brick. A total
of 6,400 widows was set in
the structure. The complet-
ed building contains 81, 7,000,-
900 cubic feet and weighs
about 100000 tons.
Settling the question of
the exact height of the build
ing, Colonel Starrett states
that the exteme top of the
building is l 1,250 feet above
the street, surmounted by a
staff 1912 feet high, carry
ing wind-recording instru-
ments which register in the
main lobby. The building is
225 ft. taller than the Eiffel
Tower and is habitable to
the very top. The site, Fifth
Avenue at Thirty-third and
Thirty-fourth Streets, con-
tains $4,000 square feet

COAST GARAGE MAN
MAKES BRAKE DEVICE

Los Angeles, Nov. Civ.
j. Obidine used to run a gar
age here, but after having
towed into his shop one or
two cars that had crashed
because of faulty brakes, he
constructed an automatic
emergency brake which may
make his fortune.
Obidine's brake works
from a valve projecting
through the floor board dir
ectly under the foot brake
pedal. The valve controls a
tube system linked with the
manifold and a piston cylin-
der that works the emer-
gency brake lever.
When the braking system
is working satisfactorily, the
safety device is imperative.
But when the regular sys-
TEN is faulty, the safety sys-
tenn swings automatically in
to operation.
In such an instance, the
brake pedal goes all the way
to the floor, pushing down
the valve of the safety de-
vice, releasing the vacuum
set up through the action of
the escaping gases through
the manifold and working
the emergency brake lever.
To prevent a sudden vio-
lent stop. the device has an
adjustment that regulates
the deceleration.
