In recent letter TO the Coolidge
Examiner he said, mere words
are inadequate to thank you for
sending me the weekly edition OF
the Examiner. really should have
written before expressing my ap-
probation but the army is a busy
place. Although I've been in the
service eight months and away
from home, reading the home
town paper" every week makes II
possible for me to keep abreast OF
the local news and everything OF
interest that happens there. From
reading the edition and seeing
what the folks" at home are do
ing for the War effort, it makes
me feel proud Of my heritage and
the community. l consider 1t a
privilege to live in a place where
everyone is truly patriotic. The
progress and patriotism shown by
the people of the community is
symbolic of all Arizonans. Cool
idge and Arizona is fine place to
be from and place well worth
coming back to after the current
crisis is over"
Sgt. Bryce was born in Florence
in 1922, and graduated from the
cooIidoa hiob cchnol I'm 1879 He
married Mary Mognett, also Cool
idge high school graduate. He was
employed as a guard at the state
prison, until he enlisted In the air
corps and went to California for
his basic training.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryce are farming

on the Clemans ranch for % years

Fifty Cookers

The Governments authorized
production of 10000 pressure
cookers has begun and a few of the
cookers are now reaching dealers
stocks. Fifty cookers have been
allocated to Pinal County; howev.
er only a few OF these are report.
ed available for sale from dealers
stocks, and II Is expected that II
will be September before the en-
tire stock has been shipped.
The Pinal County Farm Ration
ing Committee has appointed an
Advisory Committee who is now
considering applications for cook
ers. Application forms can be OBJ
tanned by calling or writing the
County Farm Machinery Rationlng
Committee located in the County
AGA offices in Casa Grande.
Since only limited number Of
cookers will be available 1t is the
policy of the committee TO consid-
er applications placed by neigh
borhood pool of families. or by or
ganizations over applications plac-
ed by individuals, as 1t is impera-
tive that one cooker produce the
largest pack of home canned foods
possible.
Pressure cookers are designed
principally for the home canning
of vegetables and meats. Appli-
cations with tomatoes and fruits
listed as the foods to be canned
will not receive consideration.

Coolidge Stamp
Sales Indicate
Growth of City

Stamp sales at Coolidge postof.
flee for the initial quarter of 1913
were nearly 60 per cent above
that of the Same quarter last year
according to ]. B. Boone, Coolidge
postmaster.
Actual sales during the first
quarter were s3.e7s.73 while for
the same period this year sales to
tailed S5,732.00.
While this growth is perhaps
more than any other Arizona post
office still further increase is in
dicated by a comparison of May
stamp sales with those of May
1912. In May of last year stamp
sales totaled s1.223.66 while sales
during the month just passed a
mounted to s2.340.S3.
This considerable increase in
stamp sales is indicative OF the
constant growth of Coolidge.

Africans first hand. Their relig-

in living up to it they are prevent

robes even in the hottest weather,
and the more clothes they can wear
the better they like It, Seeing
them going around in their little

keys, or horses if they are wealthy
enough, makes me think of all the

THE DEATH

THE DEATH
OF Sam Blackwell Sunday as the re

the peace whom he killed in the
melee may be accepted as the re
suit OF inadequate law enforcement
in Coolidge occasioned by INSULT
cient funds allocated to the office

And this condition will con-
tinue until Coolidge citizens
awaken TO the need for a city
government TO make its own

funds for adequate police pro-
lection and an elected body

civic thinking.
