Headquarters in the fight for uni
Iversal military training were temper
Iarily located in Phoenix yesterday.
Howard H. Gross of Chicago president
IOf the Universal Military Training
league, which is composed of and
backed by the biggest men in America,
spent the entire day at the Adams.
Mr.. Gross is not stranger TO Ar
iona. He has been in the Salt River
Valley before, and is planning to set
tie down here on . ranch, when he re-
tires. Mr.. and Mrs. Gross are on their
way to visit their daughter Mrs. Web
ster j. Lewis of Chandler.
1t will he remembered that Mr.
Gross is an expert on soil fertility in
fact he is one of the best known men
in the United States today, and counts
as his friends the men who are do
| ing the biggest and best things for
America. He was president of the Ma
tional Soil Fertility league, and was
largely responsible for the passage Of
| the Smith Lever act under which
| trained men are sent out by agricul-
tural colleges to assist farmers to ap-
| ply scientific methods
| Mr.. Gross has spent the major por-
/ ton of his life working in some great
crusade. AS the president of the Nom
| partisan Tariff Commission league
| which carried on for two years an in
tense campaign that reached every
! part of the land, he attained national
prominence The result was that for
the first time in history all three po-
| litical parties in their national plat
forms agreed that the tariff hereafter
| should be worked out on scientific
| lines by a non-partisan commission.
| The act was passed last September but
| the membership of the commission was
| only announced by the president this
week.
In the present campaign for univer-
| sal military training, Mr.. Gross has
undertaken the solution of the most
vital and pressing of all questions. In
! speaking of it this morning he said:
I'VE are upon the brink of war and
| the foundation is crumbling under ou1
Said the court: 1T is spelled as you
| might have spelled Hughes whel
! YOU were a boy 'NNhen l was (
| boy, yolr honor. ] did not spell

The other Cochise precincts re-
/ cornted in the afternoon were the fol-
| lowing: Don Luis. with a gain OF
| one for Campbell and one ballot held

WORK Of GENIUS

The infinite pains to which photo
play director will SO to produce the
real fine touches of life and the great
natural appeals to sentiment was never
more cleverly shown than in this
100000 cinema spectacle, "Ciyillza
ton" produced by the master genius
OF the screen, Thomas H. lnce, which
is coming to the Columbia.
1t was not enough for lnce 10 secure
the cooperation of the United States
navy, the government aerial depart
ment, to use 10000 people and 10,00O
horses; it was not sufficient to build
entire cities and destroy them with
bombs dropped from zeppelinss nor
was he satisfied to wreck bridges and
spend money like water in producing
marvellous effects. one thing that
marks his production, as superior to
all others, is the infinite pains he has
taken in securing the little incidents
that make for the heart appeal
Noteworthy in this is the use OF num-
! erous animals, and their action IN the
big production is sufficient TO demon
strate that much patience and care
must have been used to secure the
scenes that cause gasps and signs IRON

Albert Taylor Scores Success at EIks
With the increasing patronage at the
E,lks theater, Mr.. Albert Taylor and
his excellent company, seem to be
booked for long run at that popular
playhouse. Although this is the first
visit of the Taylor company to Phoe-
nix, each of the performers have al
ready scored distinct hit, and each
have a large following. The play is
being changed nightly, and the prices
are so reasonable that all can attend
several times each week, which seems
to assure an extended engagement.
This afternoon and tonight Mr.. Taylor
will offer the sensational laugh pro-

Tramp Company
May Have Made
I Minimum w age

If the 10 tramps who were run out
of Mesa on Wednesday night re-
turned to rob the safe of the Union
Oil Refining company. what per-
centaee of the IS cents loot would
each receive?
Would the four and nine nine
teenths cents repay them for the
labor attached to dragging a safe
300 yards and running the grave
danger of arrest?
Though there is no evidence that the
men who attempted TO ROB the safe
and only succeeded in breaking the
combination through which small
coins sifted, were the tramps who
have been committing a series of
petty thieveries on the southside, the
general belief is that they are.

After the ballots of Douglas pre-

attorneys Tor the contestee. This is
the Cochise county precinct for which
the board of supervisors had adj
jOUrned from day to day FOR nearly
two weeks The returns we're lost.
and at last he vote was canvassed
by the board without them 1t was
known that Campbell had received a
ma iority OF s in this precinct. Some
weeks later The returns were found
sealed and intact in the office of the
county treasurer. They were brought
here for the inspection of the ballots.
Mr.. Struckmeyer opposed the re-
counting of then, on the ground that
they had not been canVassed. To
that the reply was made that the re-
turns from Camp 1G, or Saginaw, in
CocOnino county. where Hunt had re-
ceiVed a majority. had been allowed
Notwithstanding they were missing
until after the vote had been can
vassed bv the board Though they
had been accompanied by certifi-
cafe from the secretary Of state, the
certificate had been disregarded and
the votes had been counted. The
/ distinction made by Mr.. Struckmeyer
was that the Camp 10 ballots had at
least been in the possession of the
board Of supervisors, while those eff
WilgLs precinct had never been. The
, court ordered the Wilgus ballots
counted There were a votes for
Campbell, for Hunt, and 5 for
neither.
The collOouv between the attorneys
in the morning became heated at
times. At one time after an obiec-
ton by Judge Sloan to the amend
ment of the complaints as TO bringing
/ in the Snowflake precinct Mr.. Ives
accused the attorneys for the cor
testee of timidity That they did not
shout and indulge in riotous behavior
replied Judge Sloan, was NJ sign OF
tiniGity.
The Count Resumed
After all these matters had beeIi
temporarily disposed of, the recount
of several precincts called for by the
contestec was resumed where it was
left OFF last Tuesday. The first pre-
cinct taken up was Risbee 5. Here
Campbell gained one vote and another
ballot was held for later determina-
ton. That ballot had written after
, the square at the head of the reoub-
lican column, among the candidates
for presidential electors, the cabaliStic
word ''h-u-g-S" The attorneys for
Mr. Campbell thought that that meant
Hughes. Judge Stanford was inclined
to think that that was what the voter
had in mind, and he sought to quiet
an objection by Mr.. Struckmeyer.

getic officers, to see how little their
efforts are appreciated by the other
members of the community.
But the charity organization is not
the only one that has reason for
complaint on that score. There are
other institutions in the community
that are equally neglected in this
regard, notably the synagog, the
fountain-head of Jewish life and
Jewish inspiration. It would be diff
fcult to decide who are the more
culpable, those who neglect the syn
agog, or those who are Indifferent to
the work of the. charities. We
doubt if there is a Jew who is such
a Philistine and so shallow as to
think that the business of charity
spells the whole duty of the Jew
nowadays; that Judaism, for which
the synagog stands, has no other
and higher ideals than even charity.
And yet the synagog receives as lit
tie attention by some, as does the
charity work by others. Each set of
people imagine that by making their
financial contribution, their obliga-
ton is discharged, and no further in
terest on their part need be expect
ed. And that is the sad state of
affairs in modern American COM
munities.

THE CONVENTIONS AT BAL
TIMORE.

This week a notable gathering of
Jews and Jewesses from all parts of
the country is taking place in the
city of Baltimore. It is the conven-
ton of the Union of American He
brew Congregations and of the Fed
Grafton of Temple Sisterhoods.
Prominent men and women are
present at the meetings as delegates
from the affiliated congregations all
over the land, and some important
business is being transacted AS the
Union and the Federation represent
the liberal wing of American Jewry,
and it's religious activities only, there
is no question but what they have
a sphere of work peculiarly their
own. The Hebrew Union College
of Cincinnati for the training of lib
eral rabbis and religious teachers
has been the foster child of the
Union ever since it came into being.
The organization of liberal congre-
cations in smaller communities,
their encouragement and support,
the promotion of the religious edu-
cation of the children in such COM
munities, the publication of text
books for such instruction, are also
among the many activities engaged
in by the Union.
If the Union and the Federation
would only confne themselves to
their proper sphere of work, which
is the fostering Of liberal Judaism,
it's spread and promotion among
their constituent bodies and wher-

ever else their assistance may be
needed, they would fully accomplish
the purpose of their existence, and
deserve and receive the gratitude of
at least a part of American Israel.
But as is the case with all our or
CARNATIONS of national scope, their
legitimate sphere does not seem to
satisfy them Their ambition urges
them on to seek the conquest of 9TH
er fields. And the result is that we
have deplorable duplication of eff
forts, and an unseemly rivalry for
the mere showing or boasting of
results, and the demand of credit.
More than one national organization
is protecting us against defama-
Ition, against the infringement of
our civil and political rights, and
against all other evils real or mag
mary that may threaten u.s. All are
trying to solve the same problems,
tho the problems they grapple with
are really not SO serious, altho
worthy of attention. From this
weakness the Union and certain 9th
er national organizations are suf-
fering
With a Jewish Congress repre-
senting all factions of American
Jewry now assured, and with the
expectation of it's becoming a per-
manent institution, let us hope that
all purely factional organizations
such as the Union and the Fedora
ton are, will henceforth begin to
curb their ambitions, and limit
themselves to the activities the need
of which has called them into exist
ence. There will perhaps be less
glory, but a vast deal more satisfac-
ton and more fruitful achievement
in such work.

WHAT FARM LOAN
ACT WELL DO.

Probably the most important
factor affecting the farmers profits
is the amount of capital available
for his use.
The reasons for a shortage of
capital are several, but all rest pri-
marily on the need for confidence
in the land. Money lenders have
found 1T easy to invest money in
stocks and bonds and in city mort
cages. They have not been at
tracted by the opportunities for
making loans of farms nor have
they learned to~make these loans
satisfactorily in Tennessee.
Our great life insurance COM
panies have experts in some of the
western States whose business it is
to examine farms and determine
how much money may safely be
loaned. These,men visit the farms
and inspect them carefully. Each
farm can, therefore, receive loan
according to it's merits.
Loans in Tennessee counties
have not been SO carefully placed.
There seems to be tendency to
