Arthur Wynne Speaks
At Rotary Meet

Mr.. Arthur Wynne OF the Arizona
Edison Co. gave the Rotary Club
an i1teresting review on the in
creased consumption Of water and
electricity in the community Of
Coolidge since the year 1929 when
lie first became associated with the
company. Below is listed a partial
analysis Of the growth OF the use
of electricity here:

GOO; 1885. 6.67O.OOO; 1897 100000;
1898 7,S27OOO.
Mr.. Wynne pointed out that in
creased electric consumption is due
to cheaper power and the large
increase in the use of coolers in
the homes here. He attributed the
decrease in the use Of water to the
fact that a large number now use
irrigat'7n water for lawns.
Mr.. }. P, Sexton, district manag
er of the Arizona Edison Co, was
introduced and gave a short ad-
dress on the services his company
is giving. Said Mr.. Sexton: "Sery-
ice is my prayer" and explained
how his company was required to
step electric power from its source
of $4,000 volts down at different
stations until delivered in the
homes at only 10 volts. The fl
CURES presented show the remark
able growth Of Coolidge in few
short years.
Guests present were J. p. Sexton
of Casa Grande. and r. A. Faul,
manager of the Security Farm.

Can you sympathize with a read
er of this paper who was telling
about how he missed the Louis
Schmeling fight? He stepped into
a local drug store just as the boys
shook hands in the ring, he couldn't
locate a spittoon in the store and
stepped out to spit. and when he
stepped in again, the fight was

Il am not just another office
seeker" Mrs. Freeman declared in
her announcement, but am a long
time resident and taxpayer of Pinal
county, am highly qualified for the
job, really in need of the income,
and willing to submit my case
frankly on the basis of training,
ability and other pertinent cOnsid-
erations.'
Mrs. Freeman is a graduate OF
business college and has not only
had extensive experience in trans
acting business with the public,
but is experienced in the work of
the recorders office. She was depu-
ty recorder under Frank Watson,
and has kept in constant touch
with the complete operation of the
office through the filing of records,
sales, mortgages, etc, in connection
with her business activities.
''In asking the support of voters
for the office there is one idea
held by many that it is my painful
necessity to dispel" Mrs. Freeman
says, "and that is the erroneous
belief that my financial circumst-
ances are such that | do not need
the income from the office, or that
there are others who may need it
more. | am asking support primari-
ly on my qualifications, but in fair
ness to myself | must say that
do need the job for my family"
My father was a mining man
and bequeathed to me some mining
properties. But ask some of the
old timers if you do not believe it
is easy to put more into the ground
then you take out of it. I am proud
of the fact that my father pioneer
ed valuable developments in the
Mammoth and Shultz mines and
helped create much wealth for Pinal
I county; but he put back into the
/ ground every cent he took out. For
/ sentimental reasons | have con-
tinued my interest in mining To-
cations, but they are just prospects
devoid of income.
For several years | have been
associated with my husband in busi-
ness, but the crash of 1929 and sub
/ sequent hard times completely de-
molished that business as a source
of income. My present effort to
obtain post in which | may earn
| an income is a matter of necessity.
Mrs. Freeman in addition to her
/ business activities has always TAX
en- a keen interest in public affairs
and civic organizations. She has
| been a prominent figure in the bat
tie to obtain modern highway ia
! cilities for PinaI county and other
important projects. Her interest in
politics and the efficient function
ing of government agencies dates
back to the time when in her young
er days she was an attache at Ari-
zona's historic Constitutional Con-
ventiOn.
With all her varied activities she
has always found the time to proper
