AS Servia is an agricultural and moi

rugs and carpets. They shear their
sheep, wash and dry the wool and
weave a thick brown material for mems
costumes, and n lighter weight ma

soft red and green, for themselves.
They weave linen too, and very fine,
delicate musllns. Their carpets are
very beautiful, both in design and
combinations OF color. They dye
them themselves with dyes which they
make from flowers and vegetables.
These carpets wear well, lasting fifty
or sixty or seventy years, and they
do not fade, the coloring never

AN AUTHORITY
 ON IRRIGATION
Elwood Mead, Head of Gen. tral Cost Review Board, Rcvisiting Valley After an Absence of Several Years.

After an absence of several years,
 Dr. Elwood Mead returned to the valley yesterday in his capacity of chairman of the central cost review board of the reclamation projects of i the government MT. Mead visited this valley before the passage of the
 reclamation law and was regarded
 then as a high authority on the sub ] ject of irrigation After that his
 fame became international. He was ' for eight years engaged in Aus tralia as chairman of the state
 rivers and water supply commission
 at d salary said to have been greater
 than that of the president of the United States. He returned to this country not long ago to accept the
 chairmanship of the central cost re- view board
 1 Mir. Mead has been selected for the chair or rural institutions in the | University of California. That will involve the subject of rural credits on which he is an authority and has made an extensive study of the sub ject in Australia where the system has added to the great prosperity of that country Mir Mead last spring delivered a memorable address at Denver dealing with this question. MT. Mead held conference with
 the members of the local cost review board yesterday and will leave this morning for the west.
 Another cost review board member who was in the city yesterday is Everett r. Teasdale, who is the rep resentative of the water users under the Yuma project on the board for that project. His business here was to acquire data for the revaluation there following the completion of the work here.

GOING AFTER
 LOAN SHARKS
City Commissioner Passes Ordinance Limiting Rates of Interest and Fixing. Drastic Penalty for .Vio- latiOnS.

The city commission at its meeting yesterday morning took steps to re- Culate the so-called loan shark busi- ness in Phoenix by passing with the emergency clause attached an ordin- ance limiting interest rates to ten per cent and d brokerage not to exceed two per cent, and limiting pawn brokers to two per cent per month. A penalty was affixed of q fine of not less than $25 nor more than $500 or imprisonment for a period of not more than six months or both such fine and Imprisonment. It is believed that the application of this ordinance will result in break ing up many of the practices com plained of by many who have secured loans on their salaries, the clothes they are wearing or upon household goods.
 In meeting yesterday morning the commission ct first convened as a board of equalization. It considered the complaint of J. M. Creighton against the assessment levied against the Mission Church at Second Avenue and Grant street. MT. Creighton pointed out that the building is being used exclusively for church purposes and the taxes were ordered remitted.
 An ordinance over which there has been much discussion and which has been considered at several previous meetings was adopted. This ordin- arce creates the position of de- putty city clerk or clerks, with the power to sign payroll checks. There upon the appointment of Tom Ire william and Miss Margaret Anderson for these positions were confirmed. The offices carry salaries of s120o per annum each.
 The city manager was authorized to investigate water supply sources, resolution was adopted approving the appointment of A. F. Wright as fire chief effective today, and a re- solution was also adopted ordering the filing and printing of the pre- liminary city budget.
 The matter of the widening of Van Buren street was again brought up and referred to a committee. The city attorney gave it as his opinion that the rights of the property hold CTS on Van Buren street had been properly established.
 In opening bids for the city print ing 1t was found that the Five Points Herald was the lowest bidder, hay ing offered to handle the city busi- ness at 1-2 cents per inch. The Herald has not been established a year and under the law is not eli gible to receive the award. The other bids were: Arizona Republi- can. 9 cents per inch; Dunbars Weekly. II cents: Arizona Gazette 30 cents: Weekly Gazette, cents.
 The commission adjourned without approving an award. Another meet ing will be held this morning at 10 o'clock.

 T worked at it practically I saw pictures. I. talked to all the exchange men and exhibitors knew, and heard what their patrons demanded, and then ] drew conclusions.
 For a photoplay such as was wanted I knew that chapters full of suspense were essential. Things not only had to happen. but they had to keep promising they would happen People not only want to be inter ested in what is happening now. but they want to be obliged to look ahead to what is going to happen. From my study I learned that the public liked modern things. romantic things, and a clean love theme.

There is nothing on earth to be sorry
 for,
 If only we do our part; There is nothing, dear friends, to
 worry for. If were're only clean in heart. If we will calmly ignore petty things Speaking of only the good. Helping each day those We meet By word or a bright, cheerful

 cease. And we'll go a long way on the
 happy road To our future land of peace.
