 There are so many factors to consider when county bond issues for road building are proposed that well for any community give pause before lending its support to any plan or scheme calling for the expenditure of large amounts of borrowed money.

 The exchange is a clearing house made up of associations of fruit grow CTS throughout the state, which asso- citations form the exchange. It would not be possible nor practical for the exchange to deal directly with all of the individual growers and the formation of associations which works out to the advantage of a community and enables the industry to be handled on a more economical basis than if the growers were to come in direct communication with the general office.
 The exchange has grown consistently and steadily since it's incorporation, never having receded from it's position of the year previous. It stands in the enviable position today of having a healthy bank balance and no liabilities over and above it's capital stock.

Important Work of Stand ardizing Crops and Reg ulating Markets to Be Pushed - Endorse Revls- ed II. F. A. Plan

Agreeing to continue it's oreaniZa = tion and to put in some strenuous work in behalf of a marketing survey of the valley, the joint conference committee yesterday concluded it's during which 1t secured the promise of the United Produce Growers As sociation to eliminate it's mercantile possibilities, and then proceeded with the long sought endorsement of that organization.
 True to it's attitude of last Satur- day, when it deferred action on an endorsement of the association, on the grounds it did not cover the en- tire produce of the project, the com mittee yesterday pledged the associa- : tion to broaden it's scope and to limit it's strictly commercial ambitions.
 In response to a motion by Dwight B. Heard seconded by J. c. Norton, members of the delegation from the chamber of commerce, the committee adopted this resolution:
 Resolved, that the conference
 committee composed of represen-
 tatives from the Chamber of Com
 merce the Merchants and Manu-
 facturers' Association, the United
 Produce Growers Association and
 the Farm Improvement Associa-
 tion, continue it's work to have
 prepared in cooperation with the
 United States bureau of markets

 survey of the entire Salt River

CONFERENCE COMMITTEE WILL
 PLAN VALLEY MARKET SURVEY

All the members of the conference committee except M. c. McDougal of Phoenix and Bert Wingar of Mesa were present. The first resolution in troduced was that of Rudolph Kuch Ter and it was adopted in the fol- lowing form:
 Resolved, that this conference,
 representing the Chamber Of
 Commerce, the Merchants and
 Manufacturers Association, the
 Farm Improvement Association
 and the United Produce Growers
 Association do hereby endorse
 and approve of the United Pro-
 duce Growers Association, and
 favor the marketing of all prod
 ucts of this valley through the
 United Produce Growers As
 sociation, and pledge our indi-
 vidual and united support toward
 the furtherance of the objects or
 this resolution
 The foregoing endorsement was given on condition that the United Produce Growers Association agree to the conditions imposed in this reso- lution, which was the second in or der of those presented:
 Resolved, that we, the conference committee here assembled, are unan- imously agreed and would recommend and request that as early as possi- ble the directors of the United Pro- duce Growers Associa tion seriously consider and recommend to the cor poration commission changes in the articles of incorporation as will pre- clude their engagement in mercantile business"
 Stanley F. Morse, state leader of the department of agriculture, said that if the Farm Improvement Asso- citation were to get behind the U. P. A. fhe latter must be a non political organization and must be used in the interests of the entire valley.

COLLARS.
By George Fitch

COLLARS. A collar is a small white linen ir- ritant which has caused 50,OOO,O0O women to make the same remark while watching their husbands dress ing.
 The remark is: Well I'm glad I'm not a man." and it always comes just after a husband has torn a col lar off and has addressed it in re- marks that scar and burn. Collars are compelled by the de- mands of style to be white and stiff, but not waterproof. These are three of the most heartless demands ever made upon the masculine sex. It costs the men of this nation s100, 100000 a year in laundry bills to keep their collars white. Enough time is spent each day in struggling with clean collars a little less yield ing than a stove pipe, to read a medium sized library. And every time the sun gets a good hold on a summer day, it causes 40,00O,OO0 col lars to wilt like an overripe lettuce leaf.
 A linen collar is so stiff in the morning that it has to be put on with jackscrews. But in the after { HUH, NItll us ONlleI IS seven InlieS from his base of supplies, it melts away and lies on his shoulders, caus- ing the world to give him the bru- tai ha! ha,
 Once upon time waterproof col lars were invented. They could also be cleaned at home by an amateur But the laundrymen bought up the funny papers and wrote so many jokes about celluloid collars that they, passed away with the dibble cane head and the toothpick shoe. In one hour, Edison could invent an enameled steel collar with a pat ent catch which could be put on by a One-armed man in the dark, would stand up even when worn by a fat man to a July baseball game and could he cleaned with a hose. He could invent it in an hour, but Henry Ford couldn't sell fifty of them in T year.
 This is because the men who make the styles would decline to allow us to wear them.
 The United States needs a larger standing army. We should enlist seven million men, arm them well and declare a war of independence against the men who make the styles. Then maybe we could get to church now and then without burn ing out a bearing while dressig for the occasion.
