ARIZONA NOTES
(By Stanley n. Tess

Arizona dealers in farm
implements report q great in
crease in sales of new equip
ment so far in 1885. This
pickup in sales is taken to
mean a return of prosperity
Ito Arizona farmers and
ranch operators. In the past
few years, the farmer
hesitated 10 invest in new
farm tools and machines. be-
cause he was not sure that
his future earnings would
Justify his increased expendi-
.tures. But now. he apparen-
" feels greater confidence in
the future. and dealers are
finding ii hard 20 keep up
the deliveries as fast as sales
are made.
The cattle on Arizona
ranges and in Arizona feed
ing pens are also said TO look
better than at any time in the
past four or five years,
thanks TO a winter of abun-
dant rainfall. and in this one
case. better feeding cbndi.
tons and better prices have
come al the same time, an
occurrence which is rare en-
ough in the history of the
cattle business.
Anyone driving at night a
long the roads near Buck
eve at this time of year,
should not be surprised if he
sees a battery Of floodlights
and a group of busy men and
machinery at work out in
the fields. In order 10 take
advantage of the dew, hay
baling crews have been
working all night long. in
the Buckeye district. The
ADDED moisture provided by
the dew makes the hay
easier TO handle. and stops il
from breaking up so badly in
the baler.
Never since the days of
the World War has there
been such rush to get the
early hay crop out of the
fields and on its way by
truck and train 20 the
ultimate consumer. Urgent
calls for more hay arrive
daily by telegraph from
markets Is far east as
Kansas City. and many cases
purchasing agents have
closed deals for hay still un-
cut and un-baled.
II the present drive by
tire manufacturers continues,
il won't be long every farm
ing machine that on ordinary
wheels have its wheels
equipped with rubber tires.
Rubber-tired trac tors,
mounted with big, low-pres-
sure "doughnuts." have been
seen about central Arizona
for two or more seasons.
And now the very latest
farm machine TO come out on
rubber tires is a combine
harvester made by a promi-
nent Wisconsin firm. This
combine will be in two sizes,
a l0-footer and a 20-footer.
The Exposition at San
Diego should bring a slight
ly larger number of summer
travellers across our state.
Probably they won't want to
linger very long with us at
this time of the year, but
with the help of air-cooled
hotels, we should be able to

 and two-fifths Of the women were 20 and under 25 years of age.
 Negro women office workers in- clnded in the study earned much
 lower salaries than those of white women While the two races were not employed together in any of- flee visited. the survey covered five insurance offices and one pub
 fishing house in Chicago and two insurance companies in Atlanta, all employing only Negro workers. In the Chicago insurance office Negro women earned q median monthly salary of $89 as compared with $04 for white women in such offices. In the Atlanta insurance offices the median monthly salary for Negro women was only $55 while that of white women was $04.
 An attempt was made to edter- mine the effects of mechanization of women's office work. Although lack of records of displacement pre-. vented definite conclusions, the report indicates that though the number of office workers has in- creased greatly in spite of the use of machines, the introduction of mechanical devices has resulted in reducing numbers on certain types Of work. At the time of the sur vey about one woman in every was operating a machine, more working on bookkeeping or billing machines than any other type of machines.

Salaries For Women
 Office Clerks Vary
Startling Facts Presented in WOmen's Bureau Bul-

of the office and policies of man. agemcnt. In the large offices where the work was of q more routine na- ture, the women received lower pay than in the smaller offices wherc the jobs required more variation in duties.
 Tn Chicago, the only city where data on the salaries of men office found for the most part to earn considerably less than the mcE even for the same jobs. The mems median monthly salary rate wnh $135 compared with 19D for wo- men, and the proportions of men earning as much as $15O Q month was at least three and onc-haif times the proportion of women earning such amount.
 Long experience on the job was shown to mean higher earnings. The median monthly salary for wo- men who had worked from to less than 10 years ($109) was about 40 per cent greater than the median for those with less than one years service ($77) while the median for women with 1b years or more of experience was almost twice ns great t$149). The flnd- ings show also that the girl with high school or college education can expect higher earnings. In all ago groups women with grammar school training only had lower me- dians than women with more formal training. With increaScd age the difference between the sal- aries of those with only grammar schoolc education and those with more extended education become greater.
 Hiring policies were not clearly formuated. Some offices required high school graduation as a mlni- mum education. but q larger num- Der freely preferred that the wo- men applying have some high school training. College training was generally not considered nee. essary for stenographic or clerical work. Young inexperienced work CTS were, however, much more in demand than women with expcr-

POWER CASE
UP IN COURT

Evan T. HeWeS, president, and
Harry w. Horton, chief counsel for
the irrigation district are in Los An
geles today for hearing in federal
court on a motion for modification
of temporary restraining order in
the action brought by the Nev-Cal
company against the district. The
hearing is before Judge Hollzer and
opened at 2 o'clock.
In their action against the local
district the Nev-Cal company Sc
cured temporary restraining order
to prevent the construction of the
Brawley standby power plant and
installation of machinery in this
plant for which the district had
contracted and made a down pay
ment of $4,000. The injunction is
also directed against the loan re-
quested by the district from federal
authorities for the development ana
distribution of All American canal
power and the general power pro-
gram of the district.
The motion being heard today
was brought by the district legal
department. Should the court sus-
tain the demurrers already brought
by the district against the original
complaint, there will be no need OF
ruling on the present motion, it
was said at district headquarters
this morning.
