that Government agencies are in

a fine OF $1,000 for even admitting
that such an investigation was in

Practices that Defeat
Program Defined By
A. A. A.

Landlords or tenants who use
practices which tend to defeat the
purposes of the AAA farm program
will not receive payments for
which they otherwise would be
eligible" says ]. R. Storey, chair
man of the county AAA committee.
I'm a few cases points out
Storey, both landlords and ten
ants have useed practices which
are contrary to the regulations of
the farm program to obtain AAA
payments. These practices have in
general related to payments be-
tween land, ords and tenants"
Practices of this kind have al
ways been prohibited under the
provisions of the farm program,
but recent ruling of the AAA
outlines specific practices which

from cooperators. According to

Complete Survey Trip
Of Arizona Highways

Members of the Arizona high
way commission have completed a
survey trip of the state highway
system in preparation for delibera-
tions and discussions of the 1910
Al highway budget.
The highway commissioners,
State Engineer w. r. Hutchins and
Secretary NJ. l.. Wheeler have vir-
tually travelled all of the 3,6If
miles of highways in the state sy-
stem to get first hand information
on road conditions and road needs.
During the six-weeks' survey the
commissioners have met with the
interviewed road groups and in
terested citizens in all sections of
the state to get a complete picture
of road needs in the various 10
calities. Such information will be
used in drawing up the road budget
for the coming year.
Our survey trip according to
]. M. Proctor, chairman of the
highway commission, has been Of
great value to all members of the
commission.
"The trip has given us an ex-
tensive picture of the state road
system road conditions and needs.
1--WE have had the peasure of
going over road problems in the
various counties with interested
citizens and road groups, acquiring
thereby a background of informa-
tion that will serve us not only III
formulating the new budget, but
in formulating comprehensive
road program for coming years.
We are deeply indebted to those
people in the various counties
who have taken the time to dis
cuss their road problems with US"
In speaking of the commission
MIR. Proctor said: "It is our plan
in drawing up the 1940-41 budget
to set aside monies that will best
serve the state as a whole. By so
doing the expenditure of these
monies will add to the future de-
velopment of the highway system
and increase its service to the
citizens of the state.'

Largest Salad Bowl in
World Served by-S.P.

Mention of the salad Bowl
may sound out of season, but be
advised that this one has nothing
to do with football. Instead the
reference is to Southern Pacific's
famous dining car specially which
has done so much to promote the
nationwide use of lettuce and other
choice western vegetables.
First introduced by Southern
Pacific in 1926. the Salad Bowl has
been called upon to satisfy an ever
increasing demand, its aggregate
bulk having amounted to 642 car
loads at the end of 1939-enough to
make up a train approximately five
and one-half miles long, according
TO G. w. Adams, local agent for the
railroad. And that, he says, is one
salad,
To fill a bowl that size the
company used 5000 tons of lettuce,
1881 tons of radishes, 1923 tons
of tomatoes, 1872 tons Of cucum-
bers and Sc tons Of green peppers,
not TO mention the oil and condi-
ments required for the dressing.
BY the close of 1910. after Mr.. and
Mrs. America have made this our
greatest travel year, it will be
another and bigger story, Adams
declares.

In u. S. Bond Sale
By End Class P.O.

Secretary Of the Treasury Nor
genthau announced today that the
total sales of Savings Bonds
through March 81. 1910, aggregat-
ed in maturity value more than
$3,S60,273,475. and that purchases
have been made by approximate
" 1.9S7.374 investors. The total
represents average purchases of
$2,395,325 for each business day
since March l. 1885. when these
bonds were first placed on sale.
Detucting bonds redeemed, the
maturity value of Savings Bonds
outstanding on March 81, 1910,
was approximately S3,495 ,573, 500.
The total maturity value of pur-
chases for the calendar year 1899
was SL104, 100000. an average
purchase for each business day of
last year of s3,667,975. Coolidge
placed 4th in the state in 2nd class

United States Savings Bonds
are sold on a discount basis and

more than their purchase price.
For example, SIS is the purchase
price of a $1O0 face value bond,

present government leans that
way and it only will be avoided,
if avoided. by such a nation wide,
popular opposi ion that no govern
ment leader would have the terme--
ty to go against this popular will.
Right now would be a fine time
for pressure on Songress to pro-
vide a popular referendum before
there can be conscription If
American boys to be sent abroad
to fight other peoples wars.
The other engaging development
arises out of the presidential pre-
ference primary elections. Certain
headaches are due numerous OF
the democratic brethren. Worse
headaches are already engaging
and old guard Republican moguls
while the Embossed and uncon-
trolled elements in the party look
to the future with hope based up
on a new and forceful personality
in the national picture. The man
ner in which Mr.. Dewey has flat
tened out opponents in the pre-
mary elections indicates real vote
getting prolcivities. While there is
much in personality there is more
in what he presents as campaign
issues. 1t makes hard going for
those who talk and say nothing.
While both interest and con-
Germ abide in the hearts of citizens
and politicians, it might be well
to look the picture squarely in the
face. The fight of Mr.. Dewey is
not in the primary elections and
state conventions. These are pre-
liminary incidents. The big show
viii come at the National Con-
vention when the moguls who con-
troll the machinery will try to put
their juggernaut into operation to
crush him. Politicians have the
last inning. The Democratic
brethren will have a convention
headache as well. Developments
are very engaging.
