cushion title had to be figured that
meticulously. As Hoppe himself says,
on some three cushion shots, the Sec
ond object ball is more than seven
inches wide. And he goes on to show
why that is so.
But on the delicate shots,
the eye Of the layman, or even
Of the expert spectator, could
not measure the allowable mar
gin Of error.
But the champions eye could meas
ure it, transmit the message to his
brain and the brain could direct
wonderfully skilled muscles Of wrists,
fingers and arm to execute the shot
within that hair-line margin.
Three decades champion, the 49,
year-old boy wonder, now the silver
king OF billiards, in his defeat of
Welker Cochran Of San Francisco
gained the only billiard title which
heretofore has eluded him. 1t was
Hopes twenty-first victory in q
world championship match.
Four daysslater, on January IS, the
silver king celebrated the thirtieth
anniversary of his first world title,
won from Maurice Vignaux in Paris,

boy of 18.
BY his defeat of Cochran. Hoppe be-
comes the first man in the history OF
billiards to hold three world titles at
the same time. Before taking the
angle crown from Cochran, he already
was 1871 balkline champion and cush-
ion carom champion.
1t would not be Overstating it
to hail Hoppe as the greatest
master, in this day or any other,
of the most difficult and de-
manding game Of skill in the
world.
Any layman with fair muscular CO.
ordination can learn to play billiards
enjoyably. Only genius can play 1t

From Coolidge High
To State League Team

The Coolidge Union high school
baseball team, known as the Cubs,
has produced material that is at
tracing considerable attention and
comment. Joe Dobson, the Cub
twirler, is the outstanding figure of
this team, and for some time has
been the object of observation of
outside ball scouts, who have rec
oganized his remarkable pitching
ability which they have given very
favorable. That Joe's phenomenal
success cannot be attributed to
special clearly indicates that he
just has the stuff in him. He has
accepted position with the Tucson
Merchants team, of the state league,
with whom he plays regularly, win
ming a game last Sunday over the
Miami team by II to with two
hit game. Aside from this special
talent, Joe is a fine fellow, has
many friends and Coolidge is proud
of him. The Tucson Citizen makes
the following comment.
Considerably weakned by the
loss of Ted Bland, jim Morris and
Ford Rasmussen, the Merchants
have nevertheless, acquired an
other suitable starting hurler in Joe
Dobson, Coolidge high school boy,
who recently shut out the Tucson
Badgers. Branded one of the fin
est high school prospects ever to
come out of Arizona, Dobson will
replace Morris who goes to the
Texas League.

Interest Moratorium
On Delinquent Taxes
Will Expire July 9th

County Treasurer A. L. Bartlett
is making a special effort to con-
tact property owner whose taxes
have been allowed to go delinquent
for several years, He is calling at
tention to the approaching expira-
tion date for benefits under the
provisions of legislation passed by
the 1885 Legislature which made it
possible to clear up old taxes with
materially reduced interest costs.
Chapter 80, Session Laws of 1885
reads in part as follows: (c) "As
to all taxes levied against real or
personal property which were de-
linquent on June 1st, 1884, any tax
payer may pay the same in the
following manner: If paid between
the first Monday in November, 1885,
and the first Monday in July, 1886,
by the payment of the taxes plus
6 percent interest thereon from
June l., 1884; if paid after the first
Monday in July, 1886, the same
penalties and interest shall be
charged and collected as apply to
taxes not paid under the provisions
of this act"
Prior to the tax sale date last
November, Mr.. Bartlett sent state
ment of delinquent taxes to all
property owners whose addresses
could be found, and to those who
have not since paid up their ac-
counts, similar statements have
been sent during the last few weeks
calling particular attention to this
present opportunity and the fact
that after July 9Th it will again be-
come necessary to collect the full
10 percent interest from date of
original delinquency. AS a tax item
which has been delinquent for five
years will then have to bear total
of SO percent interest, and under
the benefits of this moratorium, the
same account may be paid with
only ~ and one half percent in
terest, the advantage of settlement
at this time in very apparent.

OF commerce
Considerable interest should be
manifested in a tree Identification
program in the Casa Grande valley,
both in the rural and urban dis
tricts. 1t is an indisputable fact
that homeseekers and tourists from
the East as a whole are more
favorably impressed with the Salt
River Valley and Southern Cali
fornia for no other reason than that
of old, we'll established beautify-
ing programs that are already set
up.
With but little expense we could
offer much more to the prospective
home-seekers. Middle-westerners,
tired of dust storms and drought,
and people from other sections are
practically all lovers of trees; they
invariably make favorable COM
ments on attractive landscape
scenes.
Increase Land Values
Home owners in our irrigated
sections could plan irrigation
bitches along roadways through and
around their fields for the purpose
OF transplanting trees and shrub
berry. 1t is true that trees along
broader lines of the field will rend-
er small amount of land valueless
for crop production, but the trees
in turn will materially increase the
sale value of the whole tract, in
addition to furnishing shade for
stock
Now that rural electrification
seems assured, for the Casa Grande
Valley, beautifying program must
be inaugurated in order to attract
such home-seekers who can we'll
afford to pay for the comforts that
HEDTUKIM w .. . -- --,....- q
such homes will have-electricity
for both light and power, air-cool-
ing and air-conditioning.
In providing for the transplant
ing of trees in the street, three
things must be taken into con-
sideration; namely. Q) the curb
line and grade line; (2) telephone
and power lines; (3) the method of
irrigation to be used.
If telephone lines cannot be
directed through the alleys the
trees should be of the dwarf type,
such as the white mulberry or
Texas umbrella varieties. If curbs
are to be provited later, syphOnS
should be installed through street
intersections in order to carry
ditch water from block to block
along the tree line. The trees should
be transplanted half way between
the outer side walk line and the
curb line. If streets are wide
enough in the residential section,
iArees should be transplanted in the
center of the street with roadway
