Estimate $4,000
Loss In Gin Fire
PIP Bales Cotton Burn At
Western Coolidge Gin In
Wind Storm Sunday.

A fire at Western Coolidge Gin
during Sundays terrific wind storm
created havoc in the bale yard,
where it burned PIP bales of cotton
at an estimated loss of from S20,-
600 to S25. 900. according to b.
Patterson, gin manager. The fire,
which started from an unknown
cause. was first noticed at 1870
Sunday morning. Due to the Co
mile-an-hour gale, fire fighters
were not able to get the blaze un-
der control until p. m.
A call was sent to Coolidge Fire
Department for assistance, but due
to the fact that the Western gin is
outside the city limits the city
fire department could give no help
The gin is located a mile and a
half east of Coolidge on a continua-
tion of Coolidge Avenue.
There was no damage to gin
buildings. the fire being kept en-
tirely in the bale yard, Patterson
said. The loss is covered by insur-

George r. Fansett,
Mining Engineer,
Is Rotary Guest

Coolidge Rotarians learned first
hand at their meeting Wednesday
noon how mining engineers test
ores for the presence of metals
and minerals. The demonstration
was given by George r. Fansett.
mining engineer of the Arizona
Bureau of Mines. With the aid of
a complete assortment of testing
equipment and reagents Fansett
showed how an unknown metal in
a piece of ore can be detected
and identified by the application Of
heat. acid. or the proper chemical
compounds.
The use of ultraviolet ray. or
black light. in seeking out metals
in the field was demonstrated.
When applied to certain ores the
ultraviolet rays will cause the ore To
glow and from the color of the glow
mineralogists can determine what
metal the ore contains. A portable
ultraviolet ray outfit has been de-
veloped which may be hooped up
TO a battery for use in the field
Fansett will return to Coolidge
next Wednesday as a guest speaker
at the meeting Of the Lions Club.

Council Plans
Action On Three
New Ordinances
To Investigate Air Base
Property AS Possible
Housing Project.

Three new ordinances, now being
drawn up for final consideration
by the town council, will, when
passed, regulate dog-owners, pro-
vide for licensing of entertainers
and musicians, and prohibit the
keeping of virtually all forms of
livestock in Coolidge.
In order to cut down the num-
Der of dogs running loose in town
and to prevent possible outbreak
of rabies an ordinance will pro-
vide that all dog-owners must OBJ
tain license for their dog, in the
form of tag to be worn on a col
lar, and must present a certificate
showing that the dog has been in
oculated against rabies within the
calendar year in which the license
IS applied for.
Licenses may be secured on April
l of each year and May l is the
final date. Dogs picked up after
May l will be impounded and may
be destroyed unless called for.
Another ordinance will provide
that all musicians, entertainers,
ETC., performing in an establish
ment where intoxicating liquors
are sold must secure license from
the city clerk.
The third ordinance prohibits
the keeping of livestock, including
horses, cattle, pigs, sheep, and
goats within the town limits for
more than a 4S-hour period. This
ruling also forbids the keeping of
bees and all poultry, with the ,ex-
ception of chicken hens and chicks,
which may be kept under condi-
tions to be set up by the ordinance.
The ordinances are now being
prepared and will come up for
final action at the councils next
meeting.
The prospects of obtaining the
Coolidge Army Air field for city
use are being investigated by the
council and the Coolidge chamber
of commerce. A joint committee
consisting of Mayor G. w. Lewis
and George w. Ware, of the coun-
ell, and DIR. G. H. Walker and VIII
liam Urton, of the chamber, are
attempting to find out what the
procedure would be to secure the
land, buildings and equipment. now
declared surplus property. 1t is
thought possible that some of the
buildings might be converted for
use as dwellings to alleviate the
acute housing shortage in this area.

Coolidge Bears
Win |, Lose z
CUHS Ball Tossers Drop In
Average In Past Weeks
Contests.

Coolidge Bears basketball team
took a drop in the percentage col
umn during the past week in win
ming one and losing two contests.
The Bears took Casa Grande into
camp Friday 2S to 10, while the
Junior Varsity whipped the Cou-
gars 80 to 90.
At Glendale Saturday night the
Bears ran into double trouble. The
Varsity lost out 33 to Is while the
second team went down before the
Cards 3S to "a.
The Bears lost another double
header at Florence Wednesday
night. when the Gophers outscored
the first team 25 to 16 and the
second team 80 to 20.
In the Glendale and Florence
games the Bear Varsity has stamp
ed itself as strictly a second half
team. The Bears scored only 4
points against the Cards in the first
half and could muster only 8
against the Gophers in the first
two stanzas. The Coolidge defen-
sive play has been fairly consistent,
but until more scoring power can
be developed the Bears cannot be
considered seriously for a place in
the district. Their average score
per game is 22 points while an
average of % points per game has
been scored against them. The
Bears have only made 33 out of 98
free throws in seven games for
the poor average of 1928 per
cent.
The Bears will meet Superior to-
night on the local floor and enter
tain the Ajo Red Raiders here on
Saturday. Both sessions will be
doubleheaders with the first game
set for 7:30 p. m.

Telephone Area
Change Opposed
Coolidge Chamber Of Com
merce Points Out Disad-
vantages of Expansion

A proposed change in the Casa
Grande telephone exchange area
is meeting opposition from the Coo
lidge Chamber Of Commerce. In
letter directed to Wilson t. Wright,
chairman of the corporation COM
mission, Phoenix, the Coolidge
chamber declared that extension
of the Casa Grande exchange area,
as proposed, would encroach on the
area now served by the Coolidge
telephone exchange.
The territory is now fairly di-
vided between Casa Grande and
Coolidge, it was held, and, since
the area proposed for change is
nearer Coolidge, such a change
would work a hardship on the peo-
pie living in this section by putting
them in the Casa Grande exchange
area.
1t was pointed out that Coolidge
is centrally located in the Casa
Grande valley and that the recent
federal census, showing a popula-
ton of 1900 people, indicates
steady growth since 1880 as well as
an expansion of the Coolidge trade
territory.
In the light of such expansion the
Coolidge chamber believes that II
any change were to be made 1t
should be in the present telephone
service from the Coolidge ex-
change. Such a change, however,
will not be requested at the pres
ent time.

Plan To Reduce
Insect Damage
In PinaI County
Cotton Farmers Advised 3
Ways To Combat "Suck-
ing Insect" Losses

4 three-point program which may
be put ipto effect by farmers in
Pinal county. and other areas.
which will greatly reduce their
losses from cotton sucking insects
Is outlined by X. X. Henness, coun-
~ agricultural agent. The three
suggestions are as follows
Early planting;
Wide spacing on more fertile
lands;
Adequate dusting with the right
materials.
The first point is early planting
Early planted cotton is able TO set
a large number OF bolls before the
cotton insect count builds up to
where Il is harmful Farmers thru
out the county have this year OBJ
served that cotton had a heavy bot
tom crop. with few or no bolls
higher up the stalk. Late March
planting OF short staple cotton is
not too early II the spring Is early.
and as much cotton as possible
should be in the ground by April
18th.
The second OF the three point
program is wider spacing OF cotton
on fertile lands where large stalks
are produced. Cotton sucking in
sects prefer shade. This is proven
by field counts which show large
numbers of insects in rank cotton
and shorter cotton in the same field
shows much lighter counts. One
field in Pinal county. which for
several years had been in alfalfa
and pasture. made an exceptionally
rank growth and insufficient cotton
to even Justify picking. With a
farm Triple A average OF 72e
pounds OF lint per acre the owner
Of this field this year applied for
his insurance adjustment, and was
allowed insurance on the basis OF
a total production of 40 pounds OF
lint per acre. practically a crop
failure. The third point is carefully
planned dusting based on field in
sect counts in which recommended
dusts are used in the recommended
amounts. The Bureau OF Entomol-
ogy and Plant Quarantine recon-
mends the use OF 92l1 per cent
