OTaterO
Convention


William A. Scstena, president of
the Scatena Brokerage Company
announced yesterday that the an
nual convention of tomato men
originally set for early in March
has been postponed to April 5th
and 9Th.
The postponement was due to the
request of produce men residing in
st. Louis and Los Angeles who de-
sire to attend the convention but
who felt they might be unable to
reach here on time providing floods
occur this year as they did last
March.
Elaborate preparations are being
made for the 1889 tomatero conven-
ton and it is likely that one or
more of the events on the program
will be held in the new Montezuma
auditorium, now being erected, and
which is expected to be ready for
occupancy the latter part of next
month.

Snow Again
Blankets
BorderCity

The University of Arizona pro-
fessor who said last fall that the
winter of 1938-39 would be a wet
one but rain and snow would not
come until February certainly hit
the nail on the head.
November, December and Janu-
ary were dry, SC much so that wa
ter holes dried up and cattlemen
and ranchers began to worry.
Along came the month of Febru-
airy and on the very first day e
heavy snowstorm occurred here.
followed by another snow on Feb
ruary 5th, sleet on the 9th, and a
third snowstorm yesterday, the one
yesterday being the heaviest of the
year.
Following light flurries all morn
ing, Fridays storm set in at rapid
clip about noon and two hours
later the ground was covered to a
depth of about one inch and it was
still showing.
Oldtimers say NogaleS has had
more snow this month (and the
month is just little more than
half over) than any month they
can recall.

Stewart Here
Enroute On
Guaymas Trip

Among persons on the Phoenix
Chamber of Commerce excursion
arriving here last night enroute to
Guaymas were U. s. Collector OF
Internal Revenue William P. Stew
art, and wife, the former Mrs. E..
A. Tovrea.
During their stay in the city
they were guests of j. G. Tovrea,
brother of the late E. A. Tovrea,
founder of the Tovrea Packing Com
pany.
Arizona democratic political lead
ers revealed at Phoenix Wednesday
they had protested to washington
over the alleged political opposi-
ton of Stewart to legislation rec
commended by Gov. Robert Jones
administration.
After being assailed in the state
senate Monday, Stewart said a
statement that he had turned
against Governor Jones because he
had been denied patronage was a
"cold lie"
"The only connection I ever had
with the governor since I voted for
him in the primary election" Stew
art declared, was to convey to
him my opinion that to pick up a
lifelong Republican . was using
poor judgment and not living up to
the best interests of the Democratic
party. did not think it right the
governor should appoint that man
S. E. Kent, to one of the best pay
ing positions in the state govern
ment under Democratic admins
tration.
Anyone who says have ask
Jones for any favor, other ths
that he appoint Democrats to ste
positions under a Democratic 6
ministration, tells cold lie"
Stewart opposed the appointmen
of Kent, as superintendent of thf
pioneers home at Prescott. Ken
held the same position during the
administration of Arizona's last
Republican governor, John G. Phil
lips.
The federal official, who is also
publisher of the Prescott Evening
Courier and was at one time chair
man of the Democratic state CEN
traI committee thought that Gov
ernor Jones, being a Democrat
should have appointed Democrat
to the superintendency of the
home.

than those passed.
In the past three weeks matters
of wide interest were erased from
possible future consideration. The
house of representatives, by a vote
of 26 to 26. failed to pass civil
service bill and then laid the bill
ION the table," from which it can
not be recalled.
The senate had earlier refused
to go ION record" in favor of civil
service.
A resolution to place constitu-
tional amendment to exempt homes
from taxation on the general cleo
ton ballot, was tossed in the waste
basket by the same action in the
senate.
The "toughest" fight waged in
the upper house was over legjsla-
ton to enable the state teacher S
college at Tempe and Flagstaff to
grant Liberal Arts degrees. 1t
was defeated after the session had
split on it and hard Words" were
spoken on both sides.
Governor Jones so-called "AAr'
legislative bill was still pending
house action. It sought to reorgan-
ize the state highway commission,
and passed the senate nearly two
weeks ago.
The lower house also had before
it bill which slipped through the
senate quietly and which would
place all state departments within
legislative fiscal control.
With a surprising" lack of op-
position, bills to revive the state
fair and provide funds for Arizona
exhibits at the worlds Fairs" in
New York and San Francisco have
passed the lower house and await
senate action.
The house also provided for new
administrative control of the state
hospital for the insane.
Both the senate and house appro-
priations committees were expected
to submit the general appropria-
tions bills this week.

"I would appreciate it very much
if you would deny this for me. I
noticed that article myself because
of the name being the same, but
in the article I read there was the
statement that the woman was 81
years old and had two children,
which lets me out. Also the accom-
panying picture would have left no
doubt.
IT am very sorry there was any
misunderstanding about the Incl
dent on the part of my friends in

In the letter she sent best re-
CARDS to Nogales friends from Monte
