Agreement Reached
With Spooner On
Garbage Collection

Attempts TO institute a practical
and efficient garbage collection
system in Coolidge are once more
being made. At a meeting Tuesday
night the Coolidge Chamber of
Commerce reached an agreement
with G. b. Spooner on the matter.
whereby he will furnish a truck and
driver TO collect garbage twice a
month unless IL is found it should
be done oftener.
Spooner had been approached on
the matter before and each time
had turned il down. Chamber Of
Commerce members felt he was
the logical man for the Job as ne
operates transfer company. there
by having trucks which can be us
ed for the work.
Final arrangements have not
been worked out in entirety but Il
is believed cost of collection will
run about 81 a month per family.
Efforts in the past TO collect gar
bage did not naterialize well for
one reason or another. No respon-
sible party could be found for the
job and so the matter has been an
uncertain proposition all around,
with each family getting rid of its
garbage as il best sees fit.

Small Grains Men
Favor Holding
Down Premiums

Growers OF registered and certi-
fled small grains met recently in
Phoenix for the purpose OF setting
premiums TO be asked on registered
and certified seed.
Due to the high price of all small
grains. the growers were OF the
opinion that IL would be best TO
hold down premiums on registered
and certified seed TO avoid causing
growers 10 plant nondescript seed
this fall and winter.
AS result OF this discussion IL
was decided that premiums for the
1943 crop should be established at
% percent above the market for
commercial grain OF the variety
in the case of registered seed. and
twelve and one-half percent the
premium for certified seed II was
decided also that the 25 percent
premium for registered gram
should include the cost of seed
treatment.
AS usual. arrangements regarding
division OF the premiums between
seed dealers and producers is to
be left up to the parties concern

Bears Rout Casa

Keep wuertz Shoe
Coolidge takes early offer
sive and maintains
throughout game. Coue
ars show good passing al
tack.


Wayne Wuertz's shoes are sti
reposing unmolested in the shoy
case just inside the door of Coo
idge Union high school.
The reason they are there-an
not over at Casa Grande-is be
cause Coolidge routed the visitin
Cougars 80 to Friday night unde
Coolidge lights. The game a
tracted one of the best crowds
the season thus far and resulte
in the severest drubbing Coolidg
has ever handed Casa Grande.
This afternoon Coolidge play
at Peoria. The next home gam
will be with Superior, to b
played under the lights Frida
night, Oct. %, starting at 8:15
Big, good-natured Jimmie Davis
who weighs in at 178 pounds anl
plays fullback, was responsible fo|
20 of Coolidge's 80 points. He wen
over for three touchdowns and con
verted twice for the extra two
points.
Mack McEuen, Coolidge fullbach
crossed the line for two touch
downs and tailed one extra poinI
for a total of 13 points. WaynI
Elledge, quarterback, made Tho
other touchdown.
Taking a retrospective view d
Friday nights game, three thing
stand out, the 26-yard run made bI
Davis along the north end of thu
field which resulted in his crossiri
the goal line with scarcely a hand
laid on him. Wayne Elledge's fin
weaving in and out down the fielt
to score the final touchdown an(
the passing attack of Casa Grandd
The Cougars have some good
passers. The only trouble was thaI
there was scarcely ever anyone Il
receive, all of which meant a heart
ache for Casa Grande.
The visitors kicked off and Cool
idge immediately went to town on
an off-tackle play that netted good
yardage. The Bears never stopped
their march, making their frs
touchdown in the opening minutes
of play. Following recovery of 4
tumble, Coolidge went over for
second touchdown and in the open
ing minutes of the second quartet
they went across again.
1t was about this time that Casa
Grande. on their fourth down, exc
cuted a beautiful fake play thaI
caught Coolidge completely of
guard. The Bears came bacl
however and resumed their often
sive. 1t was in the second hall
that Davis made his 26-yard run
and touchdown. McEuen went owe
shortly after to make the score
1910 and Elledge brought it to 81
short time later.
The story of the shoes is an I'M
teresting one and goes back t
the time Wayne w. Wuertz, now
in service, played for Coolidge
Wuertz was big boy and wore 4
size IA shoe. His shoes became
the coveted trophy for which dis
trict football teams compete.
The Coolidge high school band
made it's first public appearance
between halves of the Casa Grand(
game. Majorette was Mary Brit
