P|NAL COUNTY GETS
OUT OF THE RED

Pinal county does not have to
walk by the shop door several
times before working up her nerve
to go in and make purchase;
then tell them to "Put it on the
cuff" for now she is putting the
money on the mahogany for all
transactions. The recent treasur-
er's report shows cash on hand to
pay warrants on all funds of the
county, a situation that has not
prevailed for more than ten years,
which is a very dependable indi-
cation of the return to prosperity.
Tax collections have been unusu-
ally good since the first of this
month, and payments are still be-
ing made. Pinal citizens have a
just cause for optimism in this
situation which is quite distinc-
ton under conditions that have
existed for the past few years. Be-
low is a report given out from the
county treasurer's office:
Warrants drawn on the Treas.
of Pinal County, now registered
and outstanding against the res
pective fund as listed below, are
hereby called for payment as fol
lows:
All warrants on Hiway payroll,
General Road Fund, County EX-
pense Fund and County Salary
Fund; all warrants on high school
districts numbers l, 2, 3, 4 and 15;
all warrants on common school
districts numbers l, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,
s, 8, 10, II, IL, IA, Is, 16, II, IS,
10, 20, 21, %, %, "a, 25, 26, 27, 2S,
80, 81, 33, 81, Al, AZ; all warrants
on School reserve fund.
Notice is hereby given that
from the first publication or post
ing notice such warrants cease to
draw interest" and that SHOULD
such warrant not be presented for
payment within ten days from the
giving of notice that the same is
payable, then the Treasurer shall
apply the fund set aside for the
payment of unpaid warrants next
in order of registry
A. L. Bartlett, Treas.
Pinal County, Arizona.
Note: "All warrants" indicates
that all warrants registered up to
and including the date of this call
can be paid, and does not necess'
arily indicate that warrants on
such districts issued after the call
can also be paid.

fighting fowl, causing instant
death to said fowl, the driver pro-
ceeding without stopping to offer
assistance. 1t seems that this
was a very valuable fowl, it be-
ing rumored that Ed imported
him from Scotland at a fancy
figure, and he is hoping that the
unknown driver carries ample liza
bility insurance on his chr, in
case his acquaintance is ever
negotiated. 1t is hoped that the
government will not become in
volved in the matter.

Building Permits
Increase In State

Phoenix, Ariz., May 13.-Based
on building permit figures from
Phoenix, Tucson and Prescott and
careful estimates by material deal
ers in other cities and towns where
permits are not required, building
construction in the state for the
first four months of 1886 amounted
to from three to four times that
done in 1885 and five to six times
that of the first third of 1884 ac-
cording to a statement issued today
by Thos. ]. Elliott, director of the
Federal Housing Administration
for Arizona.
In dollar value of permits issued
in April, Tucson led the state with
S193,O55 which was $44,060 greater
than Phoenix, m re than double
it's own total for April of 1885,
which was $SO,747, and nine times
the Tucson figure for April 1884.
amounting to only $20,979,
"The public generally" Mr..
Elliott declared, 'is rapidly becom-
ing more familiar with the bene-
fits afforded by the National Hous-
ing Act, and the ease and rapidity
with which FHA insured loans
may be obtained from private
financial institutions for home
building purposes. With practi-
cally every bank in the state now
participating in the housing pro-
gram, and an easy monthly pay
ment plan no more burdensome
than rent available over periods OF
as long as 20 years, every Arizona
family with a good credit rating
and earning an income of as much
as $1,000 a year can own its own
comfortable and well-appolnted
dwelling place.
Home mortgage financing prac-
tices followed in former times fire.
quently left the borrower owing
as much at the end of Is or 20
years as he owed when he set out
to buy his home, but under the
FHA Single Mortgage System he
pays the principal monthly as he
goes along, and at the end OF 10
to 20 years the home is his. debt
free. A steady increase in new
home construction may be expect
ed as more potential home owners
become acquainted with the posi-
bilities of financing their homes
through these amortized loans"

Hiuh School Annual Distributed

Hiqh School Annual Distributed
The first issue of "The Presi-
dent" Coolidge Union High school
annual was distributed in assemb-
lv Tuesday, May II. The staff
and advisor, Miss Dorothy White
NAV we'll be proud of this accom-
plishment. The book was assem-
bled in a comparatively short time;
is practically perfect; and eXcep-
tionally neat in the mimeograph-
ing. which was done by typing
students who were members OF
the staff.
The book is a very complete yet
concise record of the years events;
colored pages carry the titles for
each department. The pictures
and snapshots which were pro
duced by the planograph system
are very clear, and the choice OF
nictures shows a pleasing variety
of interest. Sports, dramatics,
class organizations. music, and
student council are some Of the
activities represented. The annual
was dedicated to MI. c. M. Man
gun. principal of the high school.
It also carries an account of the
ground breaking ceremony of the
new high school, and a photograph

 NEW TOURNEY
 BOWLING MARK
Previous Record Broken at Elks' Alleys Last
 Night

A new tournament bowling record was established by Frank Metcalf of the Kraft team in the Grocers League match play at the Elks al- leys last night. Metcalf bowled consistent scores-215, 235, and 22S flor a three game total of 673 which is the record high score of the current tournament bowling season. According to unofficial re- ports, Metcalf's score has been ex- ceeded at the Alks alleys by non- conference bowlers on two or three occasions, but search of limited rec ords available fails to diclose evil dence of a better official score in the history of Elks Tournament bowling.

SPORT SLANTS

Jeff Henie, brother of Sonia Henie Norway's world champion figure skater. has, with the privilege of a brother, disclosed something of pret- ty Sonja's long distance courtship by many and various young men.
 Persistency, plain and simple, seems to be the sterling trait of ad- mirers whom Sonia has never met.
 Her most ardent lover is an Am erican, who for long time has sent her three letters every week, and who says he will continue to send her letters until she consents to mar ry him." declared Brother Jeff.
 He refused to name this particular Suitor. In the matter of Americans. however, rumor-never idle as re- gards Sonja's eventual marriage. persists in mention of Jeff Dickson. American sports promoter in London and Paris.
 But there is also German chap who sends Sonia letter every fort night with the regularity of undying devotion, Jeff hastens to explain. Loves Labor Lost" He writes Is pages each time but he uses Gothic letters which Sonia can't read. And then there are let ters every day from all countrie: from men who want to marry her"
 But Sonia most likely will make up her mind before long and settle the matter.
 This is the last winter season for Sonia" Jeff points out. She wants to win her tenth world champion ship in Paris and to compete in the Olympic games at Garmisch-P -Parten- kirchen and also the European cham pionships in Berlin. After that she intends to retire from active com- petition and limit herself to exhibi- tiOnS.
 Sonia is not tired of competition, but Mother is. Mother neither sleeps nor eats for three or four days be- fore each competition.
 How many prizes Sonia has won so far can't say off-hand, but there are three big trunks filled with them in a bank vault. guess there must be about 300 cups and 50 medals"
 The next world champion to suc- ceed Sonia? In the opinion of Jeff Henie, from his observation as Son. jas brother, it will be none other than Cecelia Colledge, England's hope for the future who was run ner up to Sonia for the world title.
 Foreign Domination
 While Olympic officials feel that the figure skating teams which will represent the United States at Gar misch- h-Partenkirchen are very likely the best ever to wear the red, white and blue shield in the winter Olym- pics, they en certain no illusions about winning individual champion ships while Sonia Henie of Norway and Karl Schaefer of Austria are still Tn competition.
 Miss Maribel Vinson of Boston, eight times national figure skating champion has improved greatly in the past two years and stands head and shoulders above her rivals in this country. She ought to give a good account of herself abroad, but there is little likelihood that she has inn proved sufficiently to challenge Nor ways skating queen.
