Of such conditions are due to some
 interruptions locators who enticed the
 people to such regions and secured
 large locating fees. It is very good
 that this kind of locators have disap-
 peared.
 This county is producing less than
 one-fourth of the food and feedstuffs
 consumed within the county. There are excellent local markets, but these must be studied by the produc- CTS and through organization and CO., operation by the producers and con sumers, these markets can be supplied. which would be of great benefit to all The saving in transportation space and prices will result and the resources of the county will be better developed and utilized. The consumers will also secure cheaper fresher and better products. The bringing about Of such better conditions is of direct concern to thesproducers of mineral products as we'll as to the producers Of agri- cultural products. Where there is cheaper and better food there will be found better and more contented work CTS. As the cost of necessities be- comes higher there must be a cores bonding increase in wages.
 "The Federal food administration has done great deal of excellent work sinca it; creation, on q short time ego. in reducing the difference be- tween what the producers get and the consumers pay. This, .owever has been with the main commodities which are handled in large amounts. There is sti!' much to be done with local products. For example: The farm CTS in the valley. 20 70 30 mics from Bisbee, have been and are receiving 3 to. 4 cents per pound f3r sweet po- tatoes, delivered to the retailers. These same potatoes are sold for 5 1-3 cents per pound. There are no transporta- tion charges for the retailer and only one middleman-the retailer. There is a direct difference of at least 100 per cent between what the producers get and the consumers pay. Cor these potatoes are soon sold and there IS but little waste and loss of weight. This is not very encouraging to :ho pro- ducers and not encouraging D the con sumers to use homegrown products which the food administration is ad- vising US to do. and which all com mon reasoning dictates that We do. i The farmers can make a fair profit i on potatoes at 3 to cents per pound, i but with another cent per pound more | they would have that much more to spend in further clearing land and . otherwise developing their farms so

as to produce more food products. The consumers could also secure the potatoes for ? cents per pound less and there would still be gooc margin of profit for the retailers. This state of affairs as now exists cannot be blamed upon the retailers entirely. nor the producers or consumers alto gether. The condition can be rene died through the combined efforts of all and it is certainly the patriotic duty of each one to assist. To bring about the needed improvement there must be organization and understand ing among the farmers--to know what is wanted. to produce these wants in the best and most economical way. to put them up in the proper way for selling and to combine to sell these in the best and most economical way to supply the markets constantly as near as possible and with the products as the markets require them The consumers can also very much lessen the cost by not being so exacting. by paying cash and by taking their gro ceries home with them. thus reducing the cost of delivering
 Il most heartily agree with you that a public market is very much needed and believe that the people should immediately take steps to bring this about. With this assured the farm CTS would then have better basis for effective organization for cooperative ly supplying the people through the public market
 Yours very truly.

County Agricultural Agent Tells Interesting Facts ReIa- tive to the Possibilities in This Region of Arizona.

A. l.. Paschall, county agricultural
 agent, with headquarters in Willcox,
 is one of the most optimistic men in
 Cochise county regarding it's agricul-
 tural possibilities. He realizes, hcw- ever. the handicaps and the trials
 which must be encountered in making farm pay. The following letter from
 him Eliminates many features of the
 situation as it affects present farmers and those who intend to take up that class of work.
 It follows:
 'As compared with the older agr;- cultural regions, farming in this coun- ty is relatively new and much of it is still in the pioneer stage As is true in all homesteading regions, the farmers usually have but small capi- tai oD which to start and progress fs slow, even though there be good na- tural advantages and good local mar kets. Many failures are usually en- countered which discourage some These failures are usually the result of lack of training and foresight studying conditions, locating in the proper places. etc, are important con- alterations for success in new local ities. Also, it is uot always the man whc has the most capital to spend who makes the best success; it is more often the other way. The man with capital is not acquainted with local conditions and goes ahead with some plan which cannot bring sue cess. The man with small means nee essarily must go slow, and he learns conditions as he goes. Enough has been found out, however, aDout farm ing in the agricultural localities. by he successes and failures, to guide all who vii, seek the information. When capital and foresight are combined with energy, practice and good busi- ness methods. there we find success; ! and even when capital is lacking and we find the other principles we will after a while find success. and with success of course will come the capi- tal

Y. w. c. A. were kept busy the larger part of the evening. The witch who held forth in the lobby, and big chief Geronimo attracted much Sitention as well as the many othess who were cCstumad for the occasion. The dar- ing stunt knows as the Slide for Life" was one of the attractive stunts of the evening. The one great attraction of the evening was the cabaret held in the gym. The main floor and gal lery were packed even to the limit of the standing room. The cabaret was engineered by Mir H. A. Rancourt. Those taking part were Tom Evans, Mir White, Mir. Carnes, G. E. Kellogg. L. L. LeBuyer, D. A. Parrish. Miss Quinn, MT. Hill and H. A Rancourt. During the cabaret, fruit punch and waters were served by young ladies from the Y. W. C. A. Immediately fol- lowing the cabaret occurred the tab leau of the Trio, Liberty. a soldier and an Industrial Worker, which made a striking picture. As the final event of the evening, MT. Snyder, principal of the High school, told a most inter esting and weird ghost story that was most fitting for the occasion.

The western holdup, the cannibals and Lola, the disappearing wonder, were entirely satisfactory to all who paid them a visit. The crowd was so large it was difficult for everyone to see every thing.

 Choosing as the subject of his talk Sunday afternoon, life in an Aus trian Prison Camp" MT. Donaldson drew a vivid picture of Y. M. c. A. secretary's work in relieving the al- most hopeless condition of the Rus sian, Serbian and Italian prisoners in Austria.
 In the beginning he had to contend with the lack of cooperation, if not the actual enmity Of the Austrian off cers who had charge of the various camps; but it was not long before those same men acknowledged that American diplomacy had succeeded where brutality had failed. in estab- fishing schools among the prisoners taught by the educated from among their own numbers, in persuadihg them to grow garden stuff inside the en- closure. in interesting them in holding theatricals and in doing many other things to make them contented.
 There was a scarcity of food in Austria, but as the prisoners were per mi-ted to have parcels sent them from home, the Italians and Russians were the recipients of frequent packages of bread, rice and so forth. The Serb ians received very little food from home, and that was usually moldy black bread, or even more moldy cheese. Their relatives in Serbia wrote that there was plenty to eat there. but the government would not allow them to send it out of the coua- try.
 At Christmas the Association men received a large shipment of candy. AixyiA thousand men in the prison hospital, each man receiving six sticks. Pris- oners who tried to escape were hunt ed down with hounds and punished by being confined to the guardhouse.
 At the Serbian camp there were a hundred women who wore the uniform of the Serbian army. Through the efforts of the Association these were sent hack to their homes.
 At the close of Mir. Donaldson's talk coffee and doughnuts were served and the guests questioned MT. Donaldson about various conditions in Europe. It was an opportunity not often en- joyed to question one who has seen both sides of the world warfare.
