RED CROSS WAR COUNCIL ID LEI. COSTS BE KNOWN

It is the plan of the war council Of the Red Cross to publish monthly a statement concerning it's finance ana administration, and every detail whlch may be found to be of interest to the public will be made known. The fol- lowing facts concerning salaries pald by the Red Cross may prove of inter est to the public.
 One year ago, on a peace basis, with only about 200 Chapters and a little over 100000 members, with annual funds of only few hundred thousand dollars, the Red Cross employed at its headouarters in Washington 75 paid officers and employees, of whom 29 re- ceived salaries of from s2.000 to S7,0OO.
 At the present time, with the Red Cross on a war footing, with 2,60O Chapters to administer. 3,621,011 mem bers and a war fund of s100,OOO,O0 pledged, Red Cross national headquar- ters employs 624 paid officers and em- ployes of whom 46 are paid salaries of $2,000 a year or more.
 In other words, since war was de- clared. 559 paid officers and employees have been added to Red Cross head quarters staff, and of that number + receive salaries off rom $2,000 to S6,OOO a year. The highest salary added since W 6ll WAS OtCloi Cd lo |V,VuVs hS iii5AA est paid official in the national organ ization received s7,500. and he was on the staff on a peace basis.
 Of those receiving less than $2,0OO a year, 49 now receive salaries of over a hundred dollars a month. There are 3S clerks being paid one hundred dol lars, while clerks and messengers re- ceiving less then $100, number 491.
 In addition to paid officers and em ployes in national headquarters, the number of full time volunteers now contributing their services to the Red Cross is IT. Practically all the import ant administrative positions created since war was declared are filled by volunteers.
 During the last month, although the number of Red Cross members has in creased from 2,547, ,412 to 3.621,011. anc the administrative work at nationa headquarters has increased substan- tially, the number of paid employees has decreased from TOT to 624. This is partly to be accounted for by the de centralization of the work among thir teen territorial divisions under a new plan of organization adopted by thu war council.

 VACDER'S IDEA.-Desk Sergeant Harry Vadder of the Phoenix police has an idea. It is that it is waste of good metal to furnish new license tags for automobiles each year Incidentally it entails untold work on his part in keeping his rec ords of machines complete. His idea is that the tag could be made to do service from year to year if the secretary of state would issue the same number to car owners each year and supply him with some sort of a detachable shield to cover up the insigna of the previous year. He expects to take the matter up with the secretary of state and ascertain if it is not possible to have his idea adopted the coming year.

BALTz COMMUNITY
 RECEIVES PRAISE

As a climax to a special drive" for new pupils and better Sunday school, seemingly the entire community of Baltz went to the school house one night last week and enjoyed social evening including a short program and refreshments.
 The night was a warm one and the auditorium was crowded with men. women and children, but there was patience, pride and pleasure written on the faces of all present Everyone seemed to want to say: What do you think of us now?" They certainly had right to be proud and happy.
 The event in the school house has right to little place along with the seemingly greater events of the valley because a little sickly waif of a Sun day school was picked up out of the dust and nourished into vigorous life by some of the workers present In fact those who expressed themselves on the subject were quite sure that all the credit should be given to Mrs J. E. Vardaman for the wonderful growth and vigor of the school. It seems that Mrs. Vardeman is not content. as so many superintendents seem to be, to go on and on year after year with no growth. She tries different schemes and keeps on trying until she finds one that works. If there be any Sun day school superintendent in the val ley who would really like to know how. stop out on the Tempe road and ask Mrs. Vardeman. The writer is es- pecially interested, because his work takes him into every school of the

WINTER WHEAT BIGGER AREA
 FUR ARIZONA

Arizona is capable of increasing her winter wheat acreage. In the irrigated valleys of the state and in the dry farming areas of the northern counties, yields of winter wheat have been jus tified in the past. Under the govern ment guarantee of price for the fall planted crop of $2.00 per bushel at ter minal points, Arizona winter wheat planting will undoubtedly be increased.
 Director E. P Taylor of the Agricul- tural Extension service is back from the government wheat conference just held at Kansas City. Thirteen wheat growing states of the middle west were represented at the conference. An drew C. Kimball of Thatcher, Peter Aepli of Temple and N D. Sanders of Phoenix, were also appointed delegates to the convention.
 Director Taylor reports the confer ence one of far-reaching importance.
 The government desires to raise the nations wheat crop in 1918 to one bil lion bushels. To bring this about it is estimated that acreage to be planted to fall wheat should reach AZ million acres. The average yield of winter wheat for the United States is 15.6 bushels with 13.2 bushels for spring wheat
 Arizona's quota to bring about the desired increase is 43,000 acres which is an increase of 16 per cent over last year. In spite of the fact that cotton will claim a considerable acreage of land in the Salt River valley which would otherwise be planted to winter wheat. the desired 15 per cent in crease for the state in wheat is ex pected.
 AS an instance of record yield in the Salt River valley. under irriga- tion. may be cited the phenomenal yield secured by John P. Orme, who on seventy acres averaged 32OO
 pounds, or practically 55 bushels per acre. At $200 per bushel at Kansas City the Arizona price will range about cents per pound to the grower on account of Arizona importation of Kansas wheat at a freight charge of 65 per hundred. MT. Ormes yield at this figure would give a gross value | of SIPS per acre. The cost of produc-
 tion of wheat under irrigation should | not even under abnormal labor, seed | and sack charges, amount to more 1 than BPS and with such yields as MT.
 Orme secured the net return on his l wheat would reach about $100 per 1 acre

 northern counties, from winter kill HE, colu SprlHS anu otHel CduSes' uiu not yield up to the average this year. 1 but these districts are ordinarily good
 yielders and they will do their part in winter wheat planting.
 1 Much discussion was entered into
 at the Kansas City conference as to
 the cost of production of wheat. Fig
 ures submitted by leading wheat
 ~rowers in Kansas, Oklahoma and
 Minnesota varied from s1.51 to S1.73
 per bushel, while wheat spectators who had bought up wheat in the
 drouth- stricken areas of Kansas and | Oklahoma at $2.50 per bushel. sub
 mitted figures showing $2.73 per l bushel as the cost of production.
 The government guarantee of $2.00
 per hushel applies to the coming crop

and is the price to be guaranteed at the terminal points for No. 1 North ern. Under the peculiarly favorable market conditions in Arizona this should at least insure the grower 4 cents per pound for good mill wheat.
 The wheat conference passed a res- olution favoring a 10 per cent in- crease above the market wheat for clean and pure seed wheat with further advance for certified seed
 The federal government in urging increased wheat planting, stipulates that this is not desirable to an extent that might upset sound agricultural practice and rotations for the district The need of more livestock products will favor fall wheat planting in Ari- zona where it yields such excellent pasturage through fall, winter and spring.
 Farmers short of seed wheat for fall planting may be benefited by consult ing their county aoent, or the agricul- tural Extension Ser ice at Tucson, as the agrjcu'tu. surV"-- being carried on in the different counties gives these agents valuable data as to where the surplus seed stocks are to be found.

UmbER

The past few weeks have been the busiest ever I've had since starting my yard four years ago this month. The three car loads of cull lumber l bought for one thousand dollars four years ago and piled on a vacant lot and sold to you for cash at prices that pleased you, proved to be the foundation of a lumber yard that's come to stay and continue to sell at prices as reason able as can be sold to continue in business.
 Today you will find as good lumber here as you can anywhere and can also always find something in specials to fit up jobs to get by with at little expense. I am selling over five thous- and dollars worth of lumber every month now and could sell more than twice that much if I had the stock. Prices on lumber, like everything else. are up now, but there is a greater de- mand than has been since the boom days five or six years ago.
 Prices will be higher, but you are welcome to see my wholesale cost sheets at any time, then you will thank me for my material just as cheerfully as l do you for your business.

COLORED METHOD|STS COMMEND CLERCYMAN

Members of the congregation of the Lucy Phillips Chapel, c. M k. church at meeting last night adopted the following resolution, commenting their pastor, Rev. Andrew J. Norris: Being it is methodistic that the pastor of the Colored M. E. church is stationed by the bishop and cabinet of the annual conferences.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 9-Two sheep killing kea parrots, pest in New Zealand, are believed to be at large somewhere on the Pacific coast and state and government authorities are hunting for them.
 The birds escaped from a ship as it neared San Francisco and are believed to have naturally come to the main- land. Ashipment of seven kea par rots was being transported to the na tional geological park in Washington D. C., having been sent by the New Zealand government
 When Superintendent Hollister of the geological park, was notified that two of the birds had escaped, he ap pealed to Carl Westerfield of the Cali fornia fish and game commission, to request the police of San Francisco and other authorities to search for them.
 In New Zealand the kea parrot is considered an outlaw, and there is d bounty on his scalp because of his sheep killing proclivities

The first woman of Indian descent
to be admitted to practice law before
the Supreme Court of the United
States is Miss LYDIA B. Conley, of
Kanas City, Kan. Miss Conley is of
Wyandotte blood and attracted much
attention a few years ago when, rifle
in hand, she prevented the removal of
the bodies of her ancestors from an
old Indian burial ground fronting the
main street of Kansas City, Kan. The
matter being taken to the courts, she
carried the litigation to the court Of
last resort and was allowed to argue
her own case by special permission of
the justices. She lost, but acquired a
taste for the law and applied herself
to study so we'll that her admission
to practice before the Supreme Court
was moved by Solicitor General Davis.
Her career will be watched with
much interest by those who admired
her pluck and determination in try
ing to preserve the old Indian burial
ground, even though they realized
that sooner or later the bodies would
have to be removed.
