Many Farm Homes
Now Electrical

Farmers to whom REA loans are
bringing electric power for the
first time are quick to form new
electrical habits, according to a
survey publishe in the July issue
of the Rural Electrification News.
The survey, covering 46 REA-fin-
anced projects on which the aver
age time of service per customer
was only S.4 months, indicates that
within a very short time farmers
learn to use electricity for far more
than lights.
First, in the average farm fami-
Iy, a house-current radio is install
ed. bringing entertainment and
more news of the world as we'll as
of crop conditions. Next, the farm
wife banishes the sad-iron in favor
of a lighter electric iron which
STAYS hot. Third, the wash-tub gives
way to the washing machine. Then
the electric refrigerator comes in
Electric toasters, water pumps,
vacuum cleaners, hot plates, small
motors, and pHlltry lighting equip
ment follow, in the order named to
make farm life more pleasant and
profitable.
New electric lines, the survey re-
veals. provide big new markets for
industry. The average farmer, dur
ing the first few months he has
electricity, spends about $3.50 for
app iances. This expenditure is in
addition to the outlay for house
wiring. which is anywhere from $50
to 5000.
Small and inexpensive appliances
sell rapidly on all projects through
out the country. Approximately 90
per. cent of the new customers buy
electric radios. An appreciable per
centage of the customers also pur-
chase more costly equipment; for
example, 26 per cent, it is estimat-
ed. acquire electric refrigertors
soon after obtaining electric serv-
ice.

SAFETY SLOGANS

Many now dead would be alive
today if they had waited an hour
after eating before going in swim
mine.
Most persons who lose their
lives by drowning do so because
they first lose their heads. If dit
ficulty overtakes a swimmer the
most important thing for him TO
do is to keep his head. If he stops
to think he may save his life.
Last July 1O.2OO Americans were
killed in accidents Somebody's
carelessness was responsible in
each case.
During the first eleven days Of
last July as many Americans were
killed in accidents as were killed
in the entire Revolutionary war.

Service Station Man

Mr. A. Vest spoke on THE Serv-
ice a Retail Gasoline Station Of
fers to the Community" at the Ro-
tary Club luncheon today. In his
talk. Mr.. Vest remarked that "as a
rule, tourists are usually more
courteous than local people, while
seeking service. Coolidge is fortu-
nate in having so many well equip
ped stations for car service. "Many
people fail to understand the diff
ference between an ordinary grease
job on a car, and a super-grease
and general checking up job, which
includes chassis, transmission, spr-
ings. tigtening bolts, cleaning of
spark plugs, oil baths, oil filter re
placements, etc" said Mr.. Vest. "a
service station manager must
watch his credits, as the margin
on his products and service is too
small to operate long on outstand-
ing accounts. Every service station
employee must be competent, ex-
perienced and courteous, in order
to be successful" Mr.. Vest conclud-
ed.
Mr.. n. G. Murray, secretary of
the Club, reported a pleasant and
very instructive meeting at the
Presidents and Secretaries confer

PHOENIX, July 21.-The con
structive 14-point program adyocat-
ed by c. NJ Zander. Secretary to
the Board of Directors of State
Institutions and a candidate for
governor. is being received with
wide acclaim throughout the state,
it was annouced at Zander-for-
Governor headquarters here today.
Covering a broad field of issues
and development of statewide in
terest and importance, Mr.. Zand-
er's program has been endorsed
by many of the states leading
farmers, business men. mine opera
tors and professional men as well
as numerous 'abor organizations.
In brief, the program Mr.. Zander
advocates in his platform is:
l. Endorsement of Governor
Stanford's platform, including the
Townsend Plan, the conclusive pri-
mary, and the four-year term.
?. A modern pension plan for
school teachers adequately safe
guarding those who could qualify
only under the present law.
3. An intelligent program for
highway development to keep apace
with tourist and industry demands,
making the highways safe for to-
DAYS needs and tomorrow's re-
quirements.
4. Creation of a continuing
Board to administer and govern
juvenile homes and institutions,
divorcing such homes and institu-
tions from their present governing
body.
5. The principle behind con
tinuing Board and Commissions is
sound in ideal. The principle would
be destroyed by Boards and Com
missions made co-terminus with
the governor. The function of con-
tinuing boards is a matter of per-
sonnel and harmony, over which
a governor can exert considerable
control if he is so inclined.
6. State support for national ad-
vertising. in connection with the
National Tourist Bureau, of Ari-
zona's unparalleled scenic and
health-giving attractions. Arizona
cannot afford to overlook the pos
sibilities of increased tourist trade.
7. Inauguration of soil eros
ion program satisfactory to range
men: one that will have no ele-
ment of restricting the control OF
the range by stockmen. Extend
aid and improvement through sci
entific planting of Arizona ranges.
s. Retention of the copper tar
riff. Revision of rules and regula-
tions. of both public and private
agencies. governing Arizona's small
mines. Restoration of silver in the
monetary system, "as it is i'm
portant to general recovery, and
is a guaranty of business stability
and security for the masses oil
the people"

en- existing today so that the peo-
pie who live, work, produce and
spend in Arizona do not have to
