Five Representatives
Widening Services

One out Of every four calls made
by field Representatives of the Ari-
zona Unemployment Compensation
Commissios brings another employ
err and his workers within the
scope of the job insurance law.
Director Milton c. Burk reported
from Phoenix headquarters.
Working in scattered sections of
the state under the immediate di-
rection of Field Supervisor Sam
Throp, five representatives are
dali widening services of unem-
ployment compensation.
Nearly 10000 workers are now
covered by the law and 1850 en-
ployer accounts are maintained by
the commission.
Field representative Paul Marks
is working the Tucson area; Robert
Kelly, Prescott area; D. M. Peter
son, Kingman area; E. ]. Johnson,
Phoenix area; and George Boden-
sick, Holbrook area.
Representatives canvass every
business firm to secure status re-
ports and assist covered employers
to file their contribution and wage
reports. Exemption from liability
under the Jaw is granted by the
commission upon the facts found by
field Representatives in individual
examination of each business.
Funds collected are put into an
unemployment trust fund, which
after January /, 1888 will be used
to relieve the shock of unemploy-
ment by the payment of cash benc-
fits to workers involuntarily unem-
ployed.
About $1,50O,0O0 is now in the
fund, and by January the reserve
is expected to be in excess Of 81

Lower Corn Prices
Indicate Increase
In Stock fed

Prices for well-finished cattle and
lambs are likely to continue near
present levels for the next few
months, according to information
received from the Bureau of Agri-
cultural Economics by XXX. Hen
ness, Pinal County agent.
About an average corn crop is
fairly certain for this year, compar
ed with poor crops for several
years. Therefore, with prospects
for lower corn prices an increase
in the number of cattle and lambs
fed this year is indicated, parti-
cularly in the corn belt.
The outlook for sheep and lambs
has changed but little during the
past month. Marketings will be
larger this fall than in the past
summer, but the effect of these
increased marketings on prices will
be largely offset by an expected
strong demand for feeder lambs in
the corn belt.
In late September cattle prices
reached the highest level in about
II years, largely because of the
marked shortage Of granted cat
tie in the slaughter supply. Prices
of well-fininshed cattle are expect
ed to continue relatively high, at
least until increased supplies OF
granted cattle become available
next winter and spring.
Feeder cattle purchased this fall
in Arizona will be much higher III
price than year earlier, he said,
but with much lower feed prices in
prospect it is believed that the
combined cost of feeder cattle and
feed will be somewhat less than
in 1867. On the other hand, it
is unlikely that prices received for
finished cattle during the first half
of 1898 will average as high as III
the same period this year. There
fore, cattle feeding will not be as
profitable as it was last winter.

Monthly Report
Casa Grande Ruins

With the continued hot weather
our visitors count did not increase
this month as was expected. IN
fact it was only SO ahead of last
month and considerably under the
count for September of 1886.
However. with this being the last
report of the travel year our years
total travel does show an increase
over other years reaching what is
believed to be a record year with
80, SCI visitors Other years have
shown a greater count, but the in
crease in past years which exceeded
this has been due to the Casa
Grande Pageant which is no long
er held, and which has been re-
sponsible in past years for adding
as high as 10000 to our travel
figures. With some visitors un-
doubtedly not counted at all / feel
confident that our total travel act
ually went above $4,000.
Visitors during the past month
have come from 3S states, Washing
ton, d. c., and four foreign countr-
les, Canada, Mexico, England and
Brazil. The figures show little
more than half of our total travel
was from Arizona with other states
following in the order of California,
Oklahoma and Texas.
September total travel: 1871
SS7; 1936-2O45; 1935-1691; 1884
1929.
Nature Notes: Several say Phoe-
bes have returned to the Monu-
ment and can be seen flying about
the ruins every day. Also several
Rock Wrens have put in their ap-
pearance. Many flocks of birds
have been noted heading south. In
the Casa Grande our pair of West
ern Horned Owls continue to fasci-
nate visitors. Many bats are pres
ent in the Casa Grande, although
there are not as many as last year
at this time.
Western Whipsnakes and Gopher
Snakes continue to climb aroond
the Casa Grande, but no rattle
snakes have been seen during the
month.
Park Naturalist Dale King found
a Western Horned Owl bes de the
highway one night a week or so
ago with a broken wing, and he
and Jr Naturalist Matt Dodge are
trying to nurse it back to health,
keeping it in one of our large bird

ARIZONA
IN WASHINGTON
BY BOB MERKEY

People in Washington are so ac-
customed to having something or
a political nature to think about
that they cannot be without it.
Not everything that keeps the
tribe around "The Hill" agog,
however, can make AriZonans turn
for a second look.
Such is the case of the new SUI
preme Court Justice, Hugo L. Black.
Few out home seem to care much
whether Judge Black ever had any
thing to do with the Ku Klux KlaE
They take it lightly, for the real
memories they have Of the K. X. X.
serve only to accent it's insignlflc-
ance. There are those who recall
the faver and excitement of few
years ago when they puriolned
their wives sheets and pillow cases
and parted with ten dollars to be-
come members of the white-robed
gang. That is all about the Ku klux
means to them.
Sdme nationally known politi-
clans have gone so far as to say
that the Klan is going to be a real
issue in the next election. That
may be, but it will take more tnan
existing interest to keep the sub
iect alive until the coming summer.
Americans take variety.
They have dragged the Judge
far enough into the limelght for
him to make a radio speech, but
even that did not cause much dis
turbance, for it must be admitted
Black is nothing spectacular when
il comes to entertainment. He was
sincere in what he said, perhaps,
but a precocious high school stu
dent could write a more entertain
ing address, and anyone who be-
lieves that bare facts and flat
statements will satisfy everyday
people, just doesn't know. But
though he may lack ability to sway
the American people, the opposi-
ton will have hard time proving
that Black is not white.

Did you ever speculate on why our

Isn't it because life and liberty don't

have vet to find a case where
talent, power, fame or income was the
sole decisive factor in bringing hap
piness. These may be implements, but
are not causes.
1t is not possible, of course, to name
the wisest, the greatest or the happlest
person in the world. But nominations
may be in order.
| can think Of no one to whom lite
can offer greater thrill than the most
plamorous character of a century, Dr.
Albert Schweitzer, who has buried HIM
self in Gabon, in the heart of equatorial
west Africa, as a medical Samaritan to
thousands of primitive people.
Rated as the greatest interpreter
now living of the works of Johann
Sebastian Bach, he comes back to
Europe every few years for visit. he
plavs Bach's works on cathedral or
eans and multitudes are held breath
less by his genius. His writings are
numerous and rated highly.
But untouched by fame, fortune and
civilizations comforts, he strikes back
into the jungle where the sick and the
dying, totally ignorant Of the musical
genius of their Samaritan, hail him
with the pathetic helplessness of the
doomed. The fingers that have struck
the keys take up the scalpel of healing.

Objective living may be found in
as many varieties as there are people
in the world. But no mortal need miss
the thrill Of life it offers.
How best express it? There comes
back to me a thought heard many

has begun to live for a cause for which
he is willing to give his life"
