Annual Junior Rodeo
At Florence,D 31st

The Florence Junior ROdeo, an
event looked forward to with Keen
interest by every boy and 9lll
and, in fact, the entire community
old and young, will open Sunday
December 81, for a two-day snow
beginning with a colorful paraoe
through the streets of Florence.
The Junior Rodeo is just what
the name signifies. The contest
ants, with a few exceptions,
feature the skill of boys and girls
under the age of Is years, in rid
ing, roping and tying the widest
of calves. And how they do rlde
EN- and tie 'em!
The junior show is the best
given in any part of the west
Chats covering a lot of territory
where the up and comers begin
their start for bigger things in the
rodeo world. The Junior Rodeo
is sponsored annually by McLel-
land Parson Post of the American
Legion and the Florence Parent
Teachers Association for the bene-
fit of the milk fund for under
nourished children and has proved
wonderfully helpful in that direct
ion. The Rodeo association was
formed eight years ago as an
afternoon show, with many small
carnival attractions, proceeds from
which go along with the gate re-
ceipts in swelling the total fund.
That first year was a great ex-
perience, but proved successful.
The cause was appealing, and the
succeeding rodeos continued to
draw interest from far and near
until now this Florence Junior
Rodeo has become the outstanding
event of it's kind anywhere in the
west, principally because it has
remained Junior event, and
draws interested spectators from
all parts of the state and has also
proved appealing to the out7of-
staters because it has not been
permitted to become a MAJOR
Junior show. 1t is difficult, yet
the same stunts are witnessed in
the arena.

Deer Season Changed

A 15-day deer hunting season,
with the opening scheduled later
in southern Arizona was announc-
ed for 1910 by the state fish and
game commission.
Expressing the belief that deer,
in the past, have been killed too
early in the southern part of the
state, the commission decided
next years season would extend
from November 16 to 80, inclusive.
The dividing line between the
two sections was given as U. S.
highway 70 from the eastern bOrd
er to Phoenix; U. S. highway 60
from Phoenix to Hope and state
highway 72 from Hope to Parker.
The ban on killing blacktail or
mule deer south of the Gila river
was abolished, though bear and
turkey will still be protected in
that area.
Open season on javelina was
ordered from February % to Mar
% in Maricopa, Gila, Pinal, Pima
and Cochise counties. with each
b n r permitted to kill one
animal.-Ex.

ARIZONA IN

BY Bob Markley

We are having a real fir tree
for Christmas this year. II Is one
OF those dainty little things that
sit on a table in a corner of the
living room. 1t has tiny electric
lights would around it's fral
branches, and the tree itself is
barely visible through the mass
OF tinsel and glass decorations. 1t
has been dipped in solution to
keep the needles from falling off.
II really is a beautiful thing, sit
ing there in its corner, but some
how it doesn't seem right.
There was a time when | wanted
a tree like that. They always look
ed so pretty in the magazines. But
we could not have one then. You
had to live where the fir trees
grew, or do without one for
Christmas. They were not cut by
the carload and hauled hundreds
of miles for people to decorate
with tiny electric lights and lead
foil tinsel.
No, we didn't have a fir, but
we had a tree. And what a tree!
We had it picked out weeks before
time to bring it home, and then,
about a week before Christmas
we went out in the buggy to drag
it in.
1t was Nom who decided, soon
after we arrived in Arizona, that

our next Christmas tree would be
a palo-verde. We youngsters were
disappointed. Who ever heard of
using one Of those things for a
Christmas tree2 But Nom said it
would be all right. If we were go
Ing TO live in the desert, then we
must take what the desert had to
offer for a Christmas tree.
So each year we got the best
palo-verde We could find. 1t was
not a tiny one, either; it was as
tall as the room would allow. We
decorated it with homemade daisy
chains of crepe-paper. We had
some of those glass ornaments,
TOO, but there were never enough

ments, though, were the presents.
II yeu have never had a palo-
verde Christmas tree, you have no
Idea what they will hold. Our
presents all went on the tree, even
IN good years. 1t was easy to find
them, too. Somehow Santa always
knew just how tall each of us

Drug Co.
Benn & Howell Company, makers
of Filmo equipment, have supplied

narrower 16 millimeter film), for
amateur use.
The personal movie idea took
hold Immediately and has grown
by leaps and bounds with each
succeeding year. Incidental to this
great growth. equipment using the
still narrower and less expensive
millimeter film was evolved.
Today both the 16mm. and Smm.
personal movie cameras are so
perfected that with them any
amateur who can take an ordinary
snapshot with a still camera can
take beautiful movies in either
black-andwhite or full colors, In.

Egan Funeral
Set For Sunday

Funeral services for the late John

Express Company official, who died
in Mexico City a week ago last
night, have been set for tomorrow
morning at II o'clock at the Ma
sonic cemetery The Masonic Lodge

Mr.. Egan was visiting in Mexico
City at the time of his death, which
was due to heart attack.
Born in Plattsburgh, N. Y, Mr..
Egan went to California at an early
age In 1896 he went to Mexico
where he was connected with the
express company 40 years, IA of
which time he was west coast su-
perintendent.
He is survived by one daughter,
Miss Ann Egan of Los Angeles;
and two sons, John Jr., of Los An
geles, and Roscoe Egan of Nogales,
Arizona state highway patrolman.

come delinquent ten days later( not
necessarily on the tenth day of the
month";, and service is discontinued
on the fifteenth day after delivery
of the bill is not paid (not neces-
sarily on the fifteenth day of the
month";. This program spreads the
billing operation over longer pc
riod and thus reduces rush periods.
Since meters will be read more
toward the month-end than former
ly, for a period of several months
while the shift in system is under
way, each consumers bill cover a
longer period - thirty-three days
may be embraced instead of thirty,
for example; if SO. ten per cent
increase may normally be expected.
The company has sought to ac-
complish the switch to the new sys-
tenn with the fewest possible bitches
and to accomplish the program
smoothly. Should any difficulties de-
velop because of novelty, or unfa-
miliarity with the new method upon
the part of the company itself or
Of the consumers, the company will
do all in its power promptly to set
tie the matter and asks it's con-
sumers for cooperation.

Local Utility
Changes
Billing Methods

Today's announcement in a dis
play advertisement in The Interna-
tional by Citizens Utilities Com
pany of changes in it's system OF
billing, is of interest and concern
to all local consumers of gas and
electricity.
Provisions of the Wages and
Hours Law make impossible, and
latest practices used generally
throughout the utility field render
obsolete, the system long used by
the company and It's predecessors in
Nogales.
The new method eliminates pc
riodical rush periods, thus avoiding
conflict with the law above men,
toned; simplifies the making. rendi-
ton, and collection of bills; and Gre
ates definite relationship between
respective bills and services rend-
cred. The ultimate effect is to elm
mate errors and to improve sery-
ice.
No Change In Rates
Emphasis is placed upon the fact
that rates and charges for gas and
electricity are not changed in any
manner whatsoever. The same is
true of the basic rules long ago ap-
proved by the Arizona Corporation
Commission that bills are due when
rendered, delinquent ten days there
after, and service is discontinued
when bills remain unpaid fifteen
days. Formerly, because Of the time
Of rendition thereof on the first
of the month, bills became delin-
quent on the tenth of the month,
and the fifteenth was cutoff day.
The effort to bill all customers on
the same day caused great con-
centration of work at the end Of
each month for company employees,
followed by slack period. To pro
cure more even distributor Of the
load, the new method will operate
as follows:
Five Districts
Consumers are grouped into five
separate and convenient geogrophi-
cal districts; all meters in each sin
gle district are read the same day;
all customers in each separate dis
trict are billed on the same day;
all bills are due when delivered, be-
