Pirates Con Hit Some,
Frisch Admits

my bail club is not as bad as it
might be-" said Mr., Frisch. They
can hit little"
Hit a little! No man can hood
wink your correspondent with a
faltering understatement like that.
Why, the Piraetes are the most
vicious collection of sluggers, the
most powerful
And I could use another good
catcher" reflected Mr.. Frisch.
Another catcher? What for?
Frisch already has a catcher who
hit better than .250, and another who
stopped practically every pitch that
came his way. What does he want
Ray Schalk?
But the big problem. of course,
is the pitchers" continued Mr.
Frisch. The only pitcher who gave
us much service last year was Rip
Sewell. I look for him to get a
faster start next season, and do us
some good. Lanahan and Heintzel-
man should come along. Brown will
help, and maybe one or two of the
new men will show me something
But I don't kid myself that we have
strong pitching staff as it stands.
Evening star., 1941-01-10
Might Do Some Wagering
On Other Clubs

That's Frisch all over for you.
With a pitching staff like that, he
worries. He has the great SeWell,
the fearless Brown, the strinkingly
left handed Heintzelman, the amaz-
ingly left-handed Lanahan, and
some newcomers who (and I have
this straight from their mothers)
are the incest sort of fellows you
could ask to meet. And Frisch
complains.
Obviously, from what he says,
from the very look of his roster, it
would be financial suicide not to bet
on the Pirates this year. I would
be robbing myself and my goslings.
Picture the coarse laughter in Wall
Street if it got about that the
Pirates won and Lardner without a
bob on them
Undoubtedly this is a surefire in
vestment. Beyond question it is safe
as houses. Why, take Vince Di
Maggie alone
At that, it might be a good idea
to put few farthings on Cincinnati,
Brooklyn, st. Louis, Boston and
Chicago, just in case all of Frisch's
men are ravaged by the flu, or the
draft gets them. But you'll have to
admit that they're apt to win, one
of these years.

Valley Farmers
Must Sign AAA
Slips This Month

Farmers and ranchers must sign
their applications for payment by
March 81, 1941, in order to receive
payments for which they are
eligible under the 1910 A.A.A
farm and range program, accord
ing to ]. R. Storey, chairman OF
the Pinal County committee.
"Of the total cooperators in
Pinal county, SO per cent have
signed their applications. There
remain approximately one pei
cent more who should file theiJ
applications in order to expedite
the administration of the pro
gram" said Storey.
Payments which farmers and
ranchers earn under the A.A.A
help them to conserve soil fertility
and make other improvements or
their land. This is one of the
phases of the work the A.A.A
which contributes directly to the
nationwide program for defense
by conserving and improving their
land in this manner the farmers
OF the United States can produce
enough to fill normal requirements
and still be prepared to meet much
greater demands if they should
arise Storey pointed out.

WATCH YOUR DOLLARS

Folks don't watch their dollars enough. Just like
children-sometimes they don't pay much attention
to where they 60 Too many our dollars 90 out of
Coolidge and out of our state and never come back
Keep your eye your dollar See that it stays in
Coolidge and you'll keep it busy where it will do the
most good.
Coolidge Merchants and Professional men want
your business and they are prepared to serve you
adequately and quickly. We of America are apt to
become susceptible to the doubtful thrill of shopping
away from home when full we'll know that
will not receive better product greater value
than we would if we confined our purchases to Coo
lidge.
Coolidge merchants do not pretend to compete in
the matter of variety with the larger shops of
metropolitan nature. BUT Coolidge merchants do
compete with merchants anywhere in the matter of
quality and price and service And in addition they
'throw-in bushels of frendness and helpfuness
and pIeasantness.
Of course it is much more pleasant to do
shopping at home. Under the friendly guidence of
the merchant himself-or of employee whom
we've know for long, long, time. There is subst
tute for the home town merchant.

The exact hour when the stored

measurements are taken at seven
o'clock each morning. Wednesday

feet and the figure yesterday morn

Stored water In the lake has
gained steadily since the rains
started in December with daily
gains varying from two to 10000
acre feet. Total stored water
one year ago today was 51,190 acre
feet.
Heavy winter rains have kept
the entire watershed of the Gila
and San Carlos rivers well soaked
so that subsequent rains have
caused inumerable freshets which
under normal dry conditions would
have, to a large extent, soaked
into the ground and never have
reached the reservoir.
Available water in the lake has
increased 100000 acre feet since
January first when even the most
optimistic would not predict a
total of more than 25O,OOO acre
feet would be reached by the time

Attorny Reed stated that the
only further recourse available to

Newark's S l94l
City Directory
Is Released

Newark's 1941 city directory,
with large fund of data on the
city and it's people, is now off
the press and being delivered to
subscribers by r. l.. Polk & Co.
The new directory is a volume
of Cos pages listing 26,456 names
in Newark and Licking County,
or an increase Of 432 over the
1899 edition. Seventeen was
continued as the minimum list
ing age.
For the total population of
Newark proper, the publishers
quote the official 1910 u. S. cen
sus report of 81 ,487, and the
1941 estimate of the Newark
Chamber of Commerce, $1,000.
The Newark City Directory is
notable for the large number of
its special features. Very few of
the smaller city directories in
America have so many of these
services, the publishers point out.
Among these are the. following,
all found nowhere else in print.
The designation of tenant-own-
ed homes, the population of each
house, colored persons, marital
status and heads of households;
the listing of the given names of
wives, and a numerical telephone
guide. The telephone numbers
are given, which is unusual in a
city directory.
Newark is a diversified city
having 1926 different lines of
business, the new directory clas-
sified shows. The city's business
and professional structure is cat
talogued from abstracts of Ii
tie" to "Yeast Manufacturers"
There will be the usual distribu
tion of the latest Newark City
Directory to the free-reference
Directory Libraries of other ci-
/ ties, the publishers announced.
The Polk organization maintains
a very complete branch of the
Directory libraries, with late out
side directories on file for pub
lie reference, at the Newark
Chamber of Commerce.
Charles E. Abbott and Law
renee Zwayer are first and last
on the new roll call of the city.
Oddities among the family names
include Golf, Lace, Stream, Clap
saddle, Miracle, Juniper, Oak
leaf and Pickun.
