REMARKABLE ACHIEVEMENT
The completion of the new Tanner Chapel A. M. E. church at Eighth and Jefferson streets is an achievement of note among the members and friends of this congregation and the community generally. This building represents an investment of $25,000 and stands as a monument to African Methodism in the west.
Rev. A. H. Hamilton, the pastor, and his affable companion, deserve no small degree of credit for the completion of this project. Their untiring energy and faithful service will never be forgotten by the loyal members of this church. May success attend their efforts always.
COMPLAINERS
Successful men in any line of endeavor do not complain. They keep plugging away and failure only makes them work harder. Some men will fail in a business enterprise through continually lamenting that business is bad. In time they will convince all their customers that it is and they will go elsewhere to trade.
Some farmers can work twelve hours a day on a good piece of land and make a failure of it because they see nothing and think nothing but failure. Other farmers can work under similar conditions, and by using their heads make their work profitable.
The successful man studies conditions and analyzes suggestions and makes improvements as rapidly as it is possible for him to do so. His returns are in proportion to the activities of his brain.
The failure is slow to change. He doesn't take stock in new fangled ideas. What was good enough for his father is good enough for him. And that is all he gets.
When put to practical use, brains become a valuable asset. When merely carried around and never exercised, they are little better than a burden.
The old married man who first kissed her under the mistletoe now wonders why the heck he didn't kiss her under a hanging rolling pin in the first place.

COPPER TRADING CENTER IS OPEN FOR FIRST TIME
Trading in copper futures started on the National Metal exchange in New York Wednesday, affording an open market for the red metal in America for the first time in the industry's history.
The first sale, a contract of 50,000 pounds of December copper at 16.75 cents, was made by Jerome Lewine to Harold Bache.
Edwin Vogelsang, president of the National Metal exchange, in an address preceding the opening called attention to increased interest in price movements of the metal. "During the first quarter of this year," he said, "the market experienced an abrupt advance and decline of around 7 cents per pound, against which there was no form of protection

Rev. A. H. Hamilton
Above is the likeness of the Rev. A. H. Hamilton, pastor and builder of the New A. M. E. Church. He came to this work three years ago from Winfield, Kans., where he built a church similar to the one erected in Phoenix. Rev. Hamilton is known throughout the West as a church builder and his work in Phoenix justifies the title given him. He has been ably assisted in his work here by Mrs. Hamilton, his lovable companion, and both have endeared themselves to the people of Phoenix. Aside from being a church builder, Rev. Hamilton is an able minister and delivers logical, forceful sermons to his congregation each Sunday. In a word, he has few equals and no superiors as a gospel minister.

ARIZONA CROP REPORT
Following is the report sent out by the United States Department of Agriculture from Phoenix, under date of May 11th:
The abandonment of fall sown wheat in Arizona was 2.0 per cent on May 1 according to the crop report recently issued by the United States Crope Reporting board. This is slightly higher than the abandonment figure reported on the crop of 1927, but involves only one thousand acres. From the condition of the growing crop as reported on May 1 a total production of 1,044,000 bushels from the 41,000 acres is forecast for this year's harvest. This compares with 1,269,000 bushels produced last year, the difference being due largely to a 6,000 acreage reduction in the area to be harvested this year.
In the central as well as southern part of the state small grains are rapidly maturing. In the earlier fields, harvesting has started, and if the present rate of maturing continues, harvest in the lower sections will be well under way by June 1. Over the mountainous area of the state the usual difference in date of maturing is noticeable. In these sections there seems to be sufficient moisture to reasonably assure a satisfactory development of the crop.
For the entire country the abandonment of winter wheat is estimaed at 6.4 per cent.
Hav
The average condition of tame hay in Arizona on May 1 was reported at 90 per cent of normal compared with 87 per cent last year. It is estimated that 18,000 tons only, remain on farms. Due to constantly heavy market demands and resultant high prices Arizona hay stocks were sold very close.
In the southern valleys alfalfa harvest is well under way, and markets have been very favorable. From present outlook the first two crops will be sold as harvested. Within the past ten days quite a few farmers have sold alfalfa cuttings in the field as soon as the hay was cured. Buyers removing the crop from the field as soon as curing was complete. While no definite figures are available it appears from inspection that acre yield of grain hay will be quite satisfactory.
General
The 1929 spring lettuce seaso nin Arizona was one of the most successful seasons in the history of the industry. The acreage for the state wes estimated at 1,000 acres, most of this being in the Salt River Valley. The season closed with shipments for the 1929 spring deal

SINCLAIR AGAIN HEAD OF CONSOLIDATED OIL
Harry F. Sinclair, serving a jail sentence for contempt of the senate, was re-elected chairman of the board of directors of the Sinclair Consolidated Oil corporation at the annual stockholders meeting held in New York Wednesday.
Directors of the corporation declared an extra dividend of 25 cents and the regular quarterly dividend of 50 cents o nthe common stock, payable July 15 to stock of record June 15. Dividends of the same amount were declared in the preceding quarter, marking a resumption of dividends on the common stock after a lapse of nearly five years.
reaching 4,341 cars, 400 cars moving from the Yuma velley. The quality of the stock offered for shipment ranged from fair to good, generally good. A weighted average of the Phoenix cash track prices for the period March 25 to May 1 shows that 4 and 5 dozen count crates averaged approximately $2.85 and 6 dozen on the same basis brought about $2.05.
It is estimated that 10,000 acres of cantaloupes are planted in Arizona this season. Ninety per cent will be found in Maricopa county, mostly on the lands of the Salt River Valley Irrigation project. But few cantaloupes were planted and covered this year, there being less than five hundred acres in all. Although somewhat checked in early growth by cold weather cantaloupes are developing in a satisfactory manner. In Yuma valley cantaloupes are nearing harvest.
The watermelon acreage for Arizona is estimated at 1,000 acres, widely distributed over the state, largely for consumption in the locality where grown. Early growth was retarded by late spring but the vines are doing well under the influence of warmer weather.
