PUBLIC RESPONDS WELL
TO AID DISABLED VETS

TIL members of the American
Legion Auxiliary were well pleased
with the returns from the poppy
sale, sponsored by them here last

The poppies were very popular
and the response quite generous.
The returns of the sale here amou-
ted to $5139; one-half Soes to the
care of disabled veterans, and the
other remained with the local Leg

welfare work in the Coolidge COM

The post wishes to thank every

In spite of the disagreeable wea-

AN AGE-OLD QUESTION:
DOES 1T PAY?

While in the metropolis a few
days ago our attention was at
tracted by an article in a show win
dow tagged at 95 cents. We re-
called seeing it's duplicate the day
before in a Coolidge window for
65 cents. At the same time we
observed some of our neighbors
trading there which they had a
perfect right to do. They had nc
thought of detracting from home
progress they love their home
town and their inclinations are to
be home boosters. They think
they are saving money, but are
they, regardless of the fact that
they will never see a penny of the
proceeds of that sale go to the de-
velopment of their home town
and it's institutions.
Even though they saved a small
amount, would they profit? Would
they advise others to do likewise
If a majority of our people sent
their money outside, where would
our home community be?
We have continually used our
efforts to stimulate and promote
support of home business enter
prises. and shall continue to do so
with the hope that we may be of
some benefit in local development.
We have not asked for financial
assistance in this civic campaign,
as we feel everyone should do his
bit for community welfare, and if
we could only observe the home
boosting spirit prevail among all
of our citizens we should feel am
ply repaid for all efforts, as we
would share in the prosperity oc'
casioned thereby.

There's an intruder who enters
homes by stealth and leaves them
in ruins. He creates fire where
there is no fire-by spontaneous
ignition.
According to the National board
of fire underwriters, spontaneous
ignition is one of the leading eau
ses of our tremendous annual fire
loss. Yet a little information in
the hands of the property-owner
enables him to easily Danish this
intruder. The most common causes
Of spontaneous ignition fires are
cleaning mops and cloths, floor
cleaning compounds, paint-stained
clothing and rags and oily waste.
1t takes but little imagination to
picture the serious fire that can
develop if a pile of paint-stained
clothing or rags is left lying along
side of cans of paint in the base
ment. an empty room or a closet.
Then flames spring up the paint
self will be involved.
The National Board states that
rags or litter saturated with fish
oils, linseed oil, soya bean oil or
cotton seed presings are particu-
larly susceptible to spontaneous
ignition because practically all veg
etable and animal oils have ten
dency to oxidize and heat up. Ok
ygen only is then required for the
flames to develop.
Dairy feeds containing the veg
etable oils mentioned and wheat
middlings, oats, barley, distilled
grains, hay and similar fodder are
also subject to spontaneous igni-
ton if they become damp and are
not properly stored with provision
for ventilation.
Recognizing these dangers the
property owner can take steps to
revent spontaneous ignition fires.
If paint or oil-saturated clothing
or rags must be kept temporarily,
all air should be excluded from
them in order to keep out oxygen
This can be accomplished by plac-
ing them in tightly closed metal
container. Quantities of floor
cleaning compounds that have
been used should be disposed of at
once
In the interest of safety to life
and property, let us Danish the in
truder that performs such damag-
ing miracles of chemical magic.

Something over three years ago
a group of business men of Cool
idge came together and perfected
an organization known as the Civ

bylaws and launched out into To-

efforts have met with marked sue
cess along different lines of i'm

zation was designed. The mem
bership became lax in attendance
and meetings were postponed for
some time.
AS we are now confronted with
numerous projects of local impor-
tance the membership realized the
value of concerted action; conse-
quently, meeting of this organi-

PROMINENT ROLE IN
HOME MODERNIZATION

Phoenix, Ariz., May 27-Instal-

ment, when built into the resi-
dence, like other items of repair,
remodeling and mOdernizatiOn Of
homes, is eligible for financing un-
der Title | of the National HOUs-
ing Act, according to ThOs. J. FL
liott, director of the Federal HOu-
sing Administration for Arizona,
who predicted aE>@. Fremely active
period in the air-cOnditiOning field
in Arizona during the coming sum-
mer.
AN impression has gone out in
some quarters" Mr.. Elliott said,
"ths Title | of the housing act eX-
pirel on April /, which was the
date originally set by congress for
its ermination. This is not true.
Only such detachable and movable
appliances as electric refrigeratOrs
washers and ironers were made in
eligible to FHA financing by the
congressional amendment to the
act which extended Title 1 to Apr.
/, 1887"
Much of the r-conditiOning
equ pment which is now being in
stall ed, the director explained, is
beir 2 financed with Federal HOus-
ing Administration insured mod
ern;zation loans. These loans, he
pointed out, require only such
down payments as the banks them
selve es may require, and may be
repaid in easy monthly payments
over a period of from three to five
years at the option of the borrow
,er. The interest ana carrying
charges amount to only S. on the
S1OC borrowed, and arrangements
for the loan may be made by ap-
plying direct to the dealer or con-
traC sor who installs the air-cOndl-
ton ng, or to the bank itself if the
borrower so desires.
MIR. Elliott based his prediction
of q very active year in the air
conditioning field on the expert
encos of last season.
During the summer of 1885" he
said, literally thousands of Ari-
zona homes were 'cluttered up
with make-shift, home made air
coo.in ing devices. These, for he
most part, were made out Of a few
pieces of wall-board, little chick
en- wire, some excelsior mating to
carry the moisture, an electric fan
and a little perforated trough so
placed as to trickle water over the
excelsior.

The "soil-depleting crop base"
will determine in general, the pay
ments cooperating farmers wilf
receive in the 1886 Agricultural
Conservation program, County Ag-
ent K. K. Hennes, says.
The soil-depleting crop base will
be established for each farm by
the county agricultural conserva-
ton committee from the inform
alton furnished on the work sheet
which each cooperating farmer
fills out for his farm. This base
will be the total acreage the farm
er had in soil-depSeting crops in
1885, with adjustments which may
be necessary to allow for unusual
conditions and to establish fair
relationship between farms within
the community.
There are three types of adjust
ments which may be made of the
figures furnished by the farmer.
First is the adjustment for acre
age taken out of crop production
under the AAA programs and put
into soil-conserving crops. Farm
ers will receive credit for such ac-
reage in their soil-depleting base.
Second, adjustments will be made
if paintings or harvestings were
affected by severe weather condi-
tiors such as drought, rust, or in
sect infestation, in 1885. Third,
the figures a farmer turns in on
sheet may be adjusted if his base
otherwise would be abnormally high
or abnormally low. This will be
done in order to make his base
come into line with those of SINH
lar farms in the community. Soil
depicting bases will be establish
ed for the following individual
crops cotton, tobacco, sugar
beets, flax and rice. A farmer may
estimate what his base will be by
adding up the acreage that was in
soil-depleting crops in 1895, and
getting estimates from his com
munity committee of what adjust
ments may be made.
The following are principa soil
depicting crops in Pinal county:
Cotton. oats, wheat, barley, grain

tatoes, peas, lettuce and other veg

many lessons that may be applied

as we say, is tragedy, but for a

 What's happened in this situa ton is sheer madness. We will leave no stone unturned in our effort to reach a speedy settle ment," he said.
