 GARAGE CHANCE

The Bennett Wells garage of Phoenix will not be closed as a re- suit of the going to war of Robert J. Bennett and Harold Wells, two of the three proprietors of the shop. The third owner was John H. Bennett. He has sold his interest to Harold Ross, well known California expert me chanic. MT. Ross has assumed charge of the shop and has arranged for the arrival October l of another first class California mechanic, John Will Hams, who will come from San Fran cisco, and who is an expert on mag netos and self-starters.
 Both Mir. Bennett and Mr. Wells were proud of the fact that they were finally to go and serve their country It is generally understood that the customers of the shop eX- pect to continue patronage because 1t will be to the advantage of these two young soldiers, who have tenn porarily given up active manage ment of their growing business to serve the country.

Wheat and Corn

The news from Oklahoma that the farmers in the northeastern part of the state feeding wheat to hogs while in nearby towns wheatless days are being observed illustrates the difficulties the way of food administration, arising from varying conditions in different parts of the country food control act does not control wheat in the hands the farmer he may hoard it for higher price if he desires That would perhaps be morally reprehensbe but the same degree of blame attach to him if he finds it profitable to feed it to hogs The country it's lies will need pork as well as wheat.
 The Oklahoma farmers it is said find that wheat at the price they will receive for it. $18O $195 bushel is cheaper feed for hogs than corn at $225 bushel, and that a bushe of wheat has the same fat tening value So wheat is the cheapest feed available And no feed is too good for s2O hogs
 This from Oklahoma takes us back to a time in Kansas and eastern Nebraska, a generation ago when corn was not too dear to feed hogs when was used for fhel Corn ten bushel in the nearby markets and there not market for all of it. Transportation high and in the western corn belt to which Oklahoma belongs there were then not many hogs much other stock At that time hogs were worth four or five cents pound. Coal and wood were almost out of sight There was then no cheaper fuel just in Oklahoma there is no dearer feed

The Price of Copper

The fixing of the price copper at the figures de- termned upon will not have disturbing effect that was feared when the price fixing was first proposed Copper at 23k cents be produced at profit at even the mines of low grade ore though at a less profit than those of rich ore. In former years not many low grade properties were worked With cop per at ten cents and the then crude they could not operate though long twenty five years when copper around and II cents General Manager James Colquhoun of the Arizona Copper company stated that with the recently installed by that company, four per cent ore could be profitably treated The fixed price of 231b cents therefore, appears to leave the copper producers a comfortable margin
 The thing most feared disturbance of the wage scale, has been avoided by agreement which per- haps in view of the price determined upon was not necessary No company would likely have undertaken to reduce the wage scale.
 On the other hand it is probable that a salutary effect will be produced since with the price of copper determined upon, and relation having been recog-

answer was in a cheery tone, in marked contrast to the kings lamentable voice. God had wrought another deliverance. He is always working deliverances for His faithful servants. If He be for us no enemy can harm us (Rom. s: 31) Deliverance was wrought through an angel; it is the business of angels to look after Gods own (Heb. 1: 13, IA; Ps. 34: '; ? Chron. 52: q; Ac. 12: Il; 27: 23) He could shut every one Of their mouths without the least diff culty. Paul was delivered out of the mouth of the lion in another way e Tim. 1 ID Daniel was delivered be- cause he was innocent. Innocency is the best shelter from every i'll. He es- capped unhurt because ne believed in his God" There is no surer shield from harm than true faith in the true God (cf. ch. 3: 25, 27, 2S; 1 Chron ,: 20; ?

Could Only Wait and See

If the opinion that Mayor Thompson of Chicago was not only warranted but compelled by law to per init the peace society," meeting there is carried far enough it would prevent all taking of precaution against disorder. The opinion held that the mayor could prohibit the meeting the assumption that it was going to be an illegal There was very well founded assumption that it going to make trouble. That had been assumed in other cities and states and the meeting prohibited by mayors and governors
 The purpose of the members of the peace society was well known. It known that notwithstanding the proesatons of the leaders that it was to be ob- the in prosecuting war prepar aton it was show that the government had made a mistake entering and that the next best thing to do to get out of it. The avoWed purpose of the meeting organize against war which the nation had already decreed
 On the theory which this opinion rests the authorities assume when Ben Reitman and Emma Goldberg advertise a meeting of anarchists that anything unlawful going to be said or done. If a lot of German spies going to have meet ing the authorities be bound under this opinion to assume that it would be a lawful assemblage.

 Incidental to vacation time not much has been said recently about Phoenix Printing for Phoenix People" It is hoped, however, that the business people of Phoenix will not overlook tho fact that the printers are still willing to add their quota to the upbuilding of our city.
 Based upon data gathered in the early summer, the proposition then made still remains good The Phoe- nix printers can contribute annually one-q quarter of a million dollars more to the local circulating medium; pro- vided that the buyers of printing will make their purchases in Phoenix.
 A conservative calculation shows that 50 per cent of Phoenix printing is being done outside of Phoenix.
 Data proves that the payroll of the Phoenix printers is $350,0 900 annually; the industry supports a family of 700; this family pays s11,O00 annual taxes in Phoenix and Maricopa county; one third of the workers are married and one sixth are property owners. Careful estimate shows that the in- vestment of the printing plant owners is one-half million dollars-a preten- tious industry; that the equipment Is sufficient to care for 100 per cent Of Phoenix printing that the securing of the 50 per cent now going abroad would
 increase the payroll $250,000 and add 800 citizens to the population; that 7i per cent of money spent for printing | made in Phoenix remains in Phoenix The facts presented to the Phoenix public by the printers of Phoenix should be of more than ordinary inter est It is to be expected that efforts | to correct the error should eminate | from the printers. The loss to the ] community, however is shared as | largely by the merchant and others as | it is by the printing house proprietor Now begins the busy printing sea son. It would be well for the bushes:
 man to weigh well the foregoing fact!
 before placing an order for printing A quarter of million dollars is {
 mere trifle, but the Phoenix bushes!
 mans till might as well have it as t
 peddle it to Tom, Dick and Harry al over the United States and then pa, freight on the purchase.

Q2) Then they came near and spake before the king concerning the kings decree tin- terdicU, that every man that shall ask a (make) petition of (unto) any God (god) or man within thirty days, save of (unto) thee, king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king an swered and said, The thing is true, ac- cording to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not Q3) Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, which is of the children of the captivity of Judah regardeth not thee, o king, nor the decree that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times day. (14) Then the king, when ne heard these words, was sore displeased with himself, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him: and he laboured until the going down of the sun to deliver (rescue) him. Q5) Then these men assembled (together) unto the king. and said unto the king, Know, o king, that the Git is a) law of the Medes and Persians is, that no decree Gnterdict) nor statute which the king establisheth may be changed. d6) Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the
