MAY DECIDE FIGHT,
DEMPSEY ASSERTS
Also Lauds inns Deceptive
Left H00k-He|d Not as
Good as for Baer.
BY JACK DEMPSEY,

~HICAGO. June 1.-THE best
things about James J. Brad
I dock today are his legs. They
~ look to be in fine shape and
well able to carry him over the 15-
round route--if he has to go that far.
Another good point is his left hook
to the head. Jim shoots this punch
with snap and precision, and it's
q deadly blow He doesn't telegraph
1t. But what gets me is that he does
telegraph his left to the body. Usually
it's just the other way around. He'll
have to cut this out, for he carries
his left too low when he does it,
and that's liable to prove fatal to his
chances.
All I've heard about Jim's fine work
in training has been overrated. Brad
dock is not as good as he was when
he was readying for Baer, no matter
what anybody says. He's too darned
easy to hit. But I guess he'll be
little more cautious in the fight itself.
II he expects to beat Louis he's got
to fight the kind Of fight that beat
Baer.

NIGHT BALL BOOMS

Following the lead of the larger
cities, Coolidge institutes the most
popular of all sports, softball. No
sports seems to have the public
fancy so rapidly as has this base
ball monstrosity. With larger bali
a smaller bat, shorter bases, but
faster play, softball promises to be,
come the leader of sports. A league
of four teams has been organized
and play will begin according to
schedule next Week. The last two
weeks has been devoted to practice
games among the four teams in the
league. Thus far, the Government
and the Lions have defeated both
of the other two teams in the
league, the BARRIERS and the NoweH

New Agricultural
Teacher For II. S.

With an enthusiasm born Of
thorough familiarity with, and a
love for, the field of agriculture,
Robert M. Springfield, the new Coo
lidge Union High School instructor,
tells of his work and the plans for
the department of Vocational agri-
culture next year.
Mr. Springfield graduated from
the Phoenix Union high school
attended the Phoenix Junior college,
then took the dgree of B. S. A. at
the University of Arizona. One Sc
mester of graduate work has been
done in that institution, plus a
summer at the Colorado State
College at Ft. Collins, Colo. While
teaching at Duncan the last two
years, Mr.. Springfield received
statewide recognition because of
his work with the Future Farmers
of America of that place. The Dun
can Judging team, trained by him,
won first place over 20 competing
teams in livestock judging at the
Tucson F. F. A. meet. The poultry
Judging team placed second against
the same field. Mr.. Springfield is
well qualified to train judging
teams, having been a member OF
the U. of A. judging teams that tied
for first place at the Kansas City
Fat Stock show in 1888.
Among the plans for next year
will be organization Of the Future
Farmers of America unit, night
classes for adults, in which the
most pressing needs OF this partl-
cular areah will be discussed, truck
gardening experimentation on the
high school ground, with four acre
plot devoted to the raising Of vege-
tables. etc. Each student in agrl-
culture must produce some worthy
project during the year as part OF
his work, since the motto of the
Future Farmers of America is
Learn by Doing"
Mrs. Springfield will join her
husband here about the flrst OF
Julv. she being in Phoenix visiting
relatives until then.

FARMERS HAVE THE POWER

AS Governor Lehman OF New
York recently said: "The farmers
have all the power to solve every
major problem" This power lies
in cooperative organization to dis
pose of farm produce to the best
advantage, and to raise it most eco
nomically and scientifically.
1t is a fact that the tens OF
thousands of farmers belonging to
well established marketing coopera
tives provide what individual farm
ers lack-mass bargaining powe",
equal in size and strength to thHt
of wholesalers and distributors
They place the farmers on an ever
footing with those to whom he sells
This has been one of the most en-
couraging phases of agricultural de
| velopment i'll recent years.

PROOF OF GREAT SERVICE

Since 1927, the average domest''
electric rate charged by utilities
has declined from $50 to 4.59 cehts
per kilowatt hour-a decrease Oh
3212 per cent.
The average annual use per
residence has increased from 444
to 740 kilowatt hours-a gain OF
over 67 per cent.
During the same period, taxes
paid by the utilities have increased
from 9.46 to 141 per cent OF gross
revenues-a jump of 49 per cent.
Here, in uncontestable figures, is
the best possible proof of this great
industry's increasing service to the
American people.

New And Used Cars
Turn Fast Locally

In spite of approaching dull sea-
son, automobiles continue to move
rapidly in local business firms. %
new automobiles rolled out of sales
rooms, while "a used cars were sold
from the lots of three of the auto
mobile dealers. Chevrolet led with
II new and 81 used, with Dodge and
Plymouth selling new and 10 used,
and Ford 5 new and used. The
totals do not include those used
cars sold on the other used car lots,
but does indicate a healthy trend
in the automobile business. June
is expected to be a good month with
the dealers because of the new
vacation cars that are ordinarily
bought.

School Improvements
There is no standing still. In any
phase of life or activity there must
be progress or there will be retro
gression. Coolidge School has never
been content to rest on its laurels,
, but has continually worked for I'M
provement in all phases. This
wear a number of improvements
have been made in the school plant.
Chief of these improvements was
the remeding of the acoustics Of
the auditorium. This was done by
covering the walls with acousti-
cellOtex-a by-product of the sugar
cane industry made by fermenting
the cane fiber almost to the point
of decay and then placing it under
enormous pressure. Not only did
this treatment make it possible to
hear easily and well in every part
of the auditorium but the appear
ance of the walls was improved.
During the summer months ap-
proximately $50 new books were
| added to the school library. APP
proximately 45O volumes were added
during the present term and an
order for approximately $50 vol
b umes to be ready for the summer
opening of the library is being plac-
+ ed at the end of school. This makes

To Consider The
Erection Of
New Class Rooms
BY WESLEY D. KIRBY


will be held a mass meeting in the
auditorium at the Coolidge Gam
mar school, at o'clock.
This history of Coolidge Public
school is a record of prolific com
munity growth. The first term of
school was held here in the year of
1922 One room, one teacher, and
a small class comprised this first
school, but by the end of the year
the class had grown and it was felt
that regular building was needed.
A petition was circulated and
donations from citizens received to
build Coolidge's first school. Those
not able to give cash donations
contributed labor. The building Of
a school house became truly a COM
munity project and the evidence OF
it's success was the two room frame
building which now stands on the
southeast corner of the school
grounds. 1t was erected where the
present building now stands.
Scarcely had this building been
completed however, when more
space to take care of the rapid IN
fink was needed. In addition to the
two room school building classes
were held in the Woman's C!ub,
the Mutt building and practically
anywhere in town that space could
be he'd for classes.
Finally through persistent effort
of the citizens of the community
ALL was In readiness in 1880 for the
construction of the beautl1ul
modern plant we have today 1t
was completed about January l.
1891 and occupied for the remainder
NJ the wear. The size seemed ample
to take care of the present need5
and any future expansion, How
ever. so rapid and continuous mas
haen the growth of Coolidge, tlat
school enrolment has long since
outgrown the ten room ouliclils'
This wear, four large classes were
hold outside the main building anu
class rooms inside were filled u
capacity.
To take care of the existing need
for SPACE a building program Hid 81
been planned. The program "1i'
be presented to the citlzenry o'F
the night of June II at O'CLOCK
Tho nrogram to be presented can
host he described briefly by quot
ing two paragraphs from the
minutes of the board Of education,
"The board of education met aC
