Britain Embarrassment.
By United Press
LONDON. May 26. - Emperor
Halle Selassie, apparently eager to
spare the government some of the
embarrassment which his visit to
London might cause, has informed
the foreign office that he desires to
remain incognito during his stay in
Great Britain, it was learned today.
This means that the government
will be able to regard him as pri-
vate person. He will be received with
Difference and will be met by gov
eminent representatives. It also is
likely that early in his visit he will
meet King Edward and government
leaders. But he will not be the gov
ernment's guest nor be greeted with
the ceremonious honors customarily
afforded foreign sovereign.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

The 200 inch telescope lens cast
a year ago in Corona, New York,
glass works, required ten months
to cool. An automatic device
lowered the temperature Of the
annealing oven from one to two
degrees a day.
The new 200 inch lens required
26 tons of molten glass to make
the cast.
When mounted, astronomers
hope to photograph stars 100000
600 light years away. A light year
is the distance a ray of lightwould
travel in a year, travelling at the
rate of 10000 miles a second.
1t is estimated it will require
four or five years to grind and
mount the lens in the telescope.
The cost of the telescope when
completed is estimated at $4,000

c. u. n. S. CUBS DEFEAT
TOWN TEAM IN BASEBALL

The Cubs baseball team played
the Town team last Friday, defeat
ing them 81. The Cubs are show
ing promise of having a good base
ball team. Although the game
played with the Town team was
only a practice game, it helped
the Cubs to get started off for the
season. The game was won so
easily due to Joe Dobson's and
Harold Jackson's good pitching.
The lineup of the high school
team was as follows: Marvin
Fitzpatrick, catcher; Joe Dobson,
pitcher; Harold Jackson, first
base; Vernon Rawls, Clifford
Hess, Tim Parker, infield, and
Cecil Wilburn, Minor Chesley,
Hehshal Holmes, outfield.

Mr.. and Mrs. Dulin established
Dams Cafe in Coolidge a few years
ago and being exceptional restaur-

making friends, the business
thrived under theiH management
and developed into one of the
best and most literally patronized
restaurants in this section of the
state. The volume required two
moves to larger quarters, moving
to it's present quarters on North
Main street nearly a year ago. On
account of WEAKNESS occasioned
by confinement and long hours,
they concluded to sell and take a
vacation. Earl Smith purchased
the business last fall since which
time he has conducted it in the
same high class manner.

to Coolidge by their many friends

FIFTY-THREE
BREAD TAXES

1t has recently been stated that
the cost of a loaf of bread in
cludes SO taxes levied on it and
it's materials between the time the
seed grain is planted and the
finished loaf is delivered to your
door,
A half-dozen or so of those taxes
come readily to mind. The miller
who makes the flour pays taxes,
as does the farmer who raises the
wheat. If it is transported by a
heavily-taxed commercial caErier,
another tax must be added. The
baker who bakes it and the store
which sells it are likewise the
recipients of frequent calls from
the tax-collector.
So it goes with all food pro
ducts, from lettuce to caviar 3And,
if some have their way, new taxes
will be added to further increase
the retail cost of foods, through
special class taxes against GER
tain types of food merchandisers
What we need today is not
movement to increase food prices,
but one to lower them. The cost
of living is a difficult and grow
ing problem in millions of house
holds. Additional jumps in food
costs will work a great hardship
on a large part of our people.
Food costs can be lowered, or
at least kept from rising any
faster than is absolutely necessary
by methods: First, by refraining
from adding taxes that increase
the cost of food; second, by en-
couraging distribution systems
which cut overhead and eliminate
unnecessary middleman charges.
Doing this makes it possible to pay
farmers a fair price for their
goods-and yet not sting and eX-
plot the consumer

MCCULLOUGH MEETS Wit
COOLIDGE CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE TUESDAY

The Coolidge Chamber of Com
merce met in regular monthly
session Tuesday night in the Cool
idge court house and despatched
business coming before the body.
At c. J. Moody's suggestion, the
body voted to offer three prizes,
five, three and two dollars to
students of Coolidge schools writ
ing the best essay on Rural Elec-
trification.
The main feature of the session
was a talk by Lee C. Mccullough,
who is supervising the govern
ment resettlement project in this
vicinity. He was present at the
invitation of the chamber of COM
merce to explain the details of the
resettlement project now being
worked out.
He explained that the work he
has been doing here for some
time is preliminary work to sub
nit for consideration to ascertain
if the project is feasible. While
the plans have not been definitely
approved, investigations are very
favorable, and Mr.. Mccullough
feels assured that it will be put
into operation. He has secured
options on over 1000 acres of
farm land near Coolidge and Flor
ence, and desires to extend this
area to 5000 acres of good farm
land.
1t is proposed to divide this
land into 40 acre tracts for the
farmers. These farms will be i'm
proved, stocked and fully equip+
ped also, funds supplied TO carry
the farmer to production. This
will be a loan which the farmer
will have over thirty years to re-
pay, and, according to a conserva-
tive estimate Mr.. Mccullough has,
the farmer should have a nice
at the end of each year.
They report over 1900 applications
already on hand for these farms,
but it planned to bring in 100
families for this present project,
to be selected from Arizona
farmers.
To construct the houses, barns,
fences and general improvement
will call for 1000 men, he said
The resettlement project, ac-
companied by rural electrification
presents pretty picture of farm
life here that will likely be real
lied within a short period of time.

new friendships cemented, and

The purpose of his visit was to
explain the advantages that a
course at Flagstaff offers and
more of his time was spent in
interviewing the Seniors, individ-

Seniors, without exception, filled
out tentative enrolment cards.
Several Seniors indicated prefer
ence for courses in Home Econo-

This college has the unusual
record that more men attend than
women. It's present enrolment is
four hundred students.
The Seniors who anticipate 60

the visit very helpful.

AGED NEGRO KILLED
SOUTHWEST OF COOLIDGE

John Harris, 20 year old negro,
was murdered last Saturday night
at his home five miles southwest
of Coolidge, by being beaten to
death with an iron pipe.
A 26 year old negro man whom
Harris had befriended and took
into his home recently, was al
rested by Deputy Asa Gardner and
, lodged in the Coolidge Jail to
await a preliminary trial
Virgil Chandler. county attorney
said the suspect told him he struck
Harris with the pipe after the
crippled man cursed him and fired
three shots at him.
He then dragged Harris body
200 yards and threw it into a
canal, Mr.. Chandler said.
Three Coolidge men, Eugene
Johnson, Andrew Hendry and
Charles Young, surprised the sus-
pect in the canal with Harris s
body and notified authorities.
They were enroute to visit the
aged colored man.
They told officers the suspect
said Harris had fallen into the
canal and the young man was try
ing ITO rescue him. In assisting
they noticed wounds on Harris S
head and that he still was breath
ing.
Two of the men came here on
pretense of obtaining medical aid,
leaving the third with the suspect
and Harris, and returned with
Deputy Gardner.
Enroute to Jail the suspect ad-
mitted killing Harris but charged
self-defense, Gardner said.
After disposing of the body in
the canal, the suspect cleaned
blood from the cabin floor and re-
turned to the canal to find the
body lodged against flood gate,
Mr.. Chandler said he was told.
The suspect told officers he was
turned back at the Arizona-Cali-
fornia border by Los Angeles
police and had resided with Harris
since last Tuesday.
The victim had been receiving
a county old-age pension for some
time. His left leg was amputated
just above the knee.
The suspect was charged with
the murder of Harris, waived pre-
liminary trial and is being held in
the Florence Jail for action of the
superior court of Pinal county.
