VALLEY Of VIRGINIA
GARDENS PLANTED.
Farm Work Is Advanced to
Usual April Stage as
Winter Fails.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

HARRISONBURG, Va, February IS.
The Shenandoah Valley of Virginia
Is experiencing the most remarkable
Winter within the memory of the oldest
residents of this section of the state,
and farm work is as far advanced now
as it usually is the first of April.
Thousands of gardens have been plowed
and many homeowners have planted
lettuce, onions and other early vege-
tables.
It has been a "Winter-less Winter"
Only once or twice has the thermometer
dropped to Is degrees above Zero-the
coldest mornings felt in December and
January.
This week saw Harrisonburg stores
doing business with doors wide open
as during the Summer time; windows
in homes open; furnaces allowed to
die out. The mercury reached 78 as
the high point of the week.
Five-Inch Rainfall.
There has been a rainfall of 5 inches,
while only half that amount fell q
year ago.
One or two snow f1urries have swept
the Valley this Winter and the only
one that was sufficient to cover the
ground soon melted. The lack of snow
has affected underground water sources
Of wells and springs. Heavy February
rains. however, replenished many
streams which provide water for live
stock on the farms.
Old residents declare it Is seldom that
the Valley has severe Winter after
February Is. They point out that the
coldest weather usually comes in De-
cember and January
Planting to Be Early.
Never before has the farm work been
as far advanced as this, Winter If
the good weather continues corn ground
will be ready for planting a month
before the normal time.
Men and women out of work have
been able to gather wild greens. Many
sell this most edible vegetable which
grows wild. Sections of Rockingham
report dandelions in bloom
Apple and peach growers are nervous
at the remarkable weather, fearing that
an early bloom may be followed by a
sudden killing cold wave in the Spring.

Graham Candidates
Agree To Accept
Fourth Class Pay

Stafford, June 7.-Candidates
for Graham county offices held
meeting in the superior court room
Wednesday afternoon and voluntar-
lily agreed, if elected to office this
fall, to accept the salaries Of
fourth class county as provided for
the various county offices.
Present office holders met Thurs
day morning in the office of the
clerk of the board of supervisors
and agreed to voluntarily accept a
ten per cent reduction in their SAL
aries commencing July 1st until
January lst, at which time officials
elected this fall will take office.
The reduction in salaries between
a third and fourth class county
ranges from approximately ten per
cent to twenty per cent.
Graham county will automatically
become a fourth class county cont
mencing July 1st, as the assessed
valuation will be less than 100000
600, county officials explain.
The law provides that though the
county will revert to a fourth class
county, the salaries of elected coun-
ty employees be based On the as
sessed valuation of the year before
the election and consequently would
not necessarily be subject to a re-
duction.
Expenditures for general pu:pos-
es would be regulated July 1st in
accordance with the law governing
q fourth class county.

New Employment
Plan Is ADOPTED
On Ariz. Highways

PHOENIX, June 7.-Reouirements
designed to obtain work on the state
highways for a maximum number
of unemployed in the counties where
road contracts are to be let have
been adopted by the state highway
commission and made part of all
future calls for bids for road work,
it was announced yesterday at the
highway department by Sid Snyth,
deputy state engineer. So far, one
contract, that for the reconstruc-
ton of a stretch of road from Tomb
stone toward Benson on United
States Highway No. 80, has been
awarded under the new labor speci-
fications.
The cardinal rule of the new reg
ulationS is that all contractors re-
ceiving state road contracts must
employ labor as far as available
from lists furnished him by the
chairman of the county employment
committee Of the county in which
the work is to be done. These COM
mittees were established in each
county some time ago to register
the unemployed Under the new
plan those obtaining work on the
highways will be chosen from this
list of registered workers. After OBJ
tanning the contract, the contractor
will inform the county employment
committee of his needs for labor
and list of names will be submit
ted from which he may choose his
requirements.
If the county committee fails tc
supply list within 48 hours, the
contractor is free to employ avail
able labor in that county or ad-
jacent counties. The contractor has
the right to discharge incompetent
labor. A system Oh rotation is tC

CRENSHAW is
CANDIDATE FOR
REELECTION

In another column of this issue
Of The international, State Senator
G. c. Crenshaw announces his CAN
didacy for reelection to the State
Senate.
Senator Crenshaw served Santa
Cruz County in the last session of
the legislature and became such an
important member of that body that
he was appointed one Of the mem
bers Of the Special Legislative Com
nlittee which has just finished it's
deliberations and made it's report
to the governor.
To a reporter of The Information
al. Senator Crenshaw stated that
had the Governor seen fit to have
called special session Of the legis-
lature to carry out the program as
laid down by the legislative commit
tee he would not have ran again for
the senate.
Senator Crenshaw made the fol-
lowing statement to The Interna-
tional: Il was very much disappoint-
ed that the Governor did not see fit.
to call & special session OF the legis-
lature to consider the recommended
tons OF the special legislative COM
mittee. While I did not agree in its
entirety with the recommendation
am satisfied that we could have
worked out a program that would
have saved to the taxpayers OF Ari-
IONA a million and half or two
million dollars next year. Of course
1 would be presumpticus in ques-~
tioning the wisdom of a man who
has seven times been elected Gov
ernor Of our state, but I do know
that the members OF the committee
cn which I have just had the honor
to serve spent much time and ef-
fort to work out something which
would relieve the over burdened tax
payers and firmly believe that had
the Governor called the special ses-
sion the relief that could have been
accomplished would have meant
much to the people of Arizona"
Senator Crenshaw has had much
legislative experience. He served 8
term in the legislature of New Mex
leo before comning to Arizona and
was elected to represent Santa Cruz
County in the Seventh Legislature
He was elected State Senator and
served with distinction in the Tenth
Legislature.
Senator Crenshaw was born and
raised in Memphis, Tennessee and is
a lifelong Democrat and has been
e resident of Nogales for many years.

Further orders have come to the
commanding officer at Fort Rua-

Dollar
Nov Worth S2.18

The increased purchasing power
of the dollar spent for automotive
couiprnent today, as compared with
autonlotive dollar of few years
ago. has been inpressivley brought
to the attention OF the automobile
owner by the Western Auto Supply
COMPANY in their current news
paper advertising.
One outstanding example of the
present day purchasing power OF
the automotive dollar was cited in
the comparison of current tire pric-
es with those quoted in the Western
Auto advertising on 1925. The prices
paid for one Wear-well tire in 1925
will. at the present time, buy four
wear-well tires and two inner tubes
in addition.
Other startling example OF the
increased value of the 1882 dollar
include such equipment as auto
mobile seat covers, which may now
be purchased for one-third the price
paid a few years ago; mirrors, wind
shield wings, auto trunks and 9TH
er accessories.
Storage battery prices OF today
as compared with those, of a few
wears ago, are perhaps th- most
astounding. Every automob1 own
er can remeber when he raid $50
to $40 for a storage battery for his
car. Today, better storage battery
can be purchased for about five dol
lars.
According to figures compiled by
the College of Commerce OF the
University of Southern California,
the automotive dollar is now worth
$2.18.

STATE EXPENSES MUST
BE SLASHED In ARIZONA
SAYS INDUSTRIAL LEADER
ONLY Means OF State And Counties Avoiding Bank
ruptcy Is Drastic Reduction In
Government Cost

For the last two years they have
been paying it out of reserve. They
had no profits from which to pay
it. The copper mines, the speaker
said, should have closed long before
they did.
The remedy, Mr.. Spilsbury said,
means sacrifice. All business men
business-like way, not only recon
Cling themselves to sacrifices but
electing men to office in the legis-
lature and in congress and else
where who have the education, abil-
ity and business sense to realize the
situation, and the CUTS to meet it
as it should be met, by greatly re-
ducing government expense.
Nogales international., 1932-06-08

FLAGSTAFF, June THAT the
only means of avoiding federal,
state, county and municipal bank
ruptcy is immediate and drastic re-
duction of government expense, was
stated emphatically by P. G. Spills
bury of Phoenix, president Arizona
Industrial congress, in an address
BEFORE Flagstaff Rotary club.
Mr.. Spilsbury presented figures
showing that Arizona's larger basic
industries not only are supporting
fewer people. but are paying the
immense costs Of government while
themselves losing money. They can
not do this more than two or three
years longer at the present rate of,
government cost. When they cease
to pay, our bones will be worth
nothing.
A few years ago, Arizona con-
trolled the copper production OF
the world. Now, with two years
supply ahead, the control has swung
to South Africa, where the ore per-
centages are greater, the labor costs
much lower. Copper will never come
back, as far as this state is con-
hauseted, by operating to only 81
mills, once present supply is eX-
cerned, he said. Existing copper
per cent capacity, can supply the
worlds demand. A copper tariff can
not save the industry in this state,
he said. Only one large Arizona mine
is now producing, and that will soon
be closed. Collapse of the copper
market has taken the means Of
subsistence from $4,000 miners and
others dependent upon the copper
industry in this state.
The same condition is true in the
lumber industry. It will be IL to Is
years at the best before lumber can
be profitably produced in northern
Arizona.
We have passed the PEAK, in
numbers, and ability to afford en-
ploynlent and pay the taxes in the
sheep and cattle industries.
The railroads, paying a large part
of our state and county govern
ment costs, are likewise suffering.
Eighty per cent of the Southern
Pacific's tonnage of Arizona origin
was copper. That tonnage has gone.
None of the above industries can
continue to contribute to any large
extent to the cost Of government.
