Coolidge Is Now
IL Years Young

This community was II years
old on September 14th, and going
good. as usual. The Southern Pa
cific built it's railroad through here
is 1924-the Main line of it's vast
system. The Coolidge Dam was
dedicated on March 4, 1880, by Hon.
Calvin Coolidge, after whom the
town was named.
The first family to live on the
townsite were Mr.. and Mrs. w. +
Mutt, followed by Mr.. and Mrs. H.
A. Odom, who lived here in the fall
of 1925. The first letter sent out
from the Coolidge post office was
mailed on August 20, 1886, and ad-
dressed to Mrs. r. ]. Jones,
Phoenix. Arizona. The first child
born in Coolidge was Joe Calvin
Bond; born May 81, 1926.
The original townsite was and
still is, owned by Mr.. R. j. Jones,
who has spent large amounts of
money improving much of his
property by building large sub
stantial brick structures for bust
ness enterprises in the community.
The townsite has been greatly en-
larged by real estate additions on
all sides, all of which have been
much improved by the building of
homes everywhere.
No definite count is available on
the number of homes in Coolidge
today, but the number is said 70
exceed 600. Any stranger coming
to Coolidge finds it hard to believe
that so much improvement, so many
homes and so many business enter
prizes could have been established
in such short span of time.

"Chost Town" Title

TUCSON.-If you ever had the
idea Tombstone was ghost town,
you had better not mention it in
the presence of any of it's residents.
The populace of the former coun-
ty seat is up in arms over publlca-
ton in a recent issue of a national
ly circulated magazine, Golfers,
of an article entitled, "Ghost
Town." with Tombstone as its sctt-
ing.
Walter Cole, Tombstone publish
er, said on a visit here yesterday he
may protest the incident in a letter
to the publishers of the magazine.
Tombstone is no ghost town, ="
Co1e declared. "It is a thriving
mining community with heavy
tourist trade and l think I'll write
in and roast them for that article. .
"Ghost Town" was a fiction story
written under a woman's name.

A. w. Bard & Co. opened their
clothing and dry goods store on

Union High School Will
Give Tests On Dairy
Products And POul-
try FlOcks

Hens and pullets should be put
in the best of condition for the
fan laying season. Kidding the
hens of worms is one of the most
important steps.
There is a comparatively new
treatment for worming poultry
which has proven to be economical,
safe. quick and sure. This Is !
treatment using Iodine Vermecide.
II does not throw the hens off pro-
duction as do other commonly used
treatments. Iodine Vermecide,
which can be bought at most feed
or poultry supply houses, is made
into a solution and introduced in
TO the hens gizzard by means of
a catheler. The catheler is includ-
ed in the price of the material.
One pound of Iodine Vermicide
is mixed with one gallon of water.
This amount of solution will treat
about $50 hens, at cost of around
> cents per hen.
ANY farmer interested in having
his flock wormed may do so by
notifying the Agricultural depart
ment at the high school.
The department will gladly per-
form this service for you free Of
all cost except for the price of the
NECESSARY amount of Iodine Vermi-
eide. A second item of interest to
community farmers is the purchase
Of a new De Luxe Babcock MIX
testing machine for the agricultural
department.
This machine is II bottle cleo
tric. and much more accurate than
the old hand turned machines
A cows production worth is
based on her butterfat producation
rather than her milk production.
Therefore. an accurate record OF
butterfat production will aid
farmer in determining his best
cows.
Again, anyone interested in hav-
ing a milk test may secure this
service through the agriculture de-
partment. Cali Mr.. Springfield at
the high school and he will prompt
ly arrange for tests.

current employment figure only

ARIZONA
IN WASHINGTON
BY Bob Merkley
BY Bob Merkley

Among the not-so-vitally import
ant but interesting bits of legisla-
ton introduced in Congress last
session was the Monday Holiday
Bill. 1t would provide for the OBJ
serving of almost all holidays OF
Monday instead of as they fall like
chance fruit from the calendar
tree"
The reason for the proposed
change, as explained by Represent
ative Frank Hancock of North
Carolina, is to give the working
people chance to get some real
good out of their holidays. At pres
ent a holiday is as likely to come
at one time as another. With this
new plan, we should get at least
two free days in a row, and for
those lucky enough to have Satur-
day afternoons off it would mean
a worth while vac alton
OF course when the cows have to
be moved up onto the summer
range, muck trammed out to the
dump, or alfalfa hauled in to the
barn, it does not matter much
which days are called holiday.
But just wait until "the works all
lone next fall"
Three holidays would be uhaf-
fected. These would be Christmas,
New Years and Inauguration Days.
The latter comes only once in four
years and the other two have d
deep significance that justifies
their present places on the calen-
dar.
The bill has not yet become a
law, but its sponsor is not without
hope. Anyway, there is one it'd
amendment we should like to off~r
Let Thanksgiving come on Satu
day and give us one whole day t.
get back into working condition.

There has been a lot of dis
cussion of the wastefulness of the
Government Printing Office. One
hears tales of truckloads of publi-
cations hauled away as junk with
their pages still untor1ied. We
have seen plenty of that kind OF
pamphlets-as interesting as r
warehouse blue print.
The trend, however, seems to be
in another direction. In on eof Con-
gressman Murdocks extensions OF
remarks in the Congressional Rec
ord we learned of a booklet by tie
Department of Commerce entitled
"Stories of American Industry
which reads like a best-seller. 1t
is not published for free distribu-
ton. but for a dime may be had
from the Superintendent of Docu-
ments, Washington, d. c.
This book is particularly interest
ing to those who enjoy reading
about odd facts concerning cur
everyday lives. For example, tn ere
are over twenty-eight million auto
mobiles in the United States. Also,
the house trailer industry is orow-
ing by leaps and bounds. The book
does not mention it. but we think
the automobiles will always lead
the trailers.
1t is hard to find figures to i'm
press present-day Americans, ont
think of this: If all of one years
newspapers in the United States
were made into a strip 72 inches
wide. it would reach to the moon
and back rs times. That is not
hard to believe when one recalls
the murder stories, automobile &c
cidents and political propaganda OF
the past year.
We are not attempting to say
whether the Government Printing
Office is wasting the Nations
money, but at least it is turning out
some highly readable material, and
those hauled-away pamphlets might
be from another generation.
