With the same amount of produce
that it took to purchase a 500 buggy
twenty-five years ago. the farmer to-
day can not only buy splendid motor
car. but he will have enough left to
get several other necessities. to say
nothing of some luxurics.
This has been definitely proved by
comparative figures which have been

their Journey in locating the Wash

Appropriation TO build certain mill

W. w. started their work They were posted on the down town streets of Bisbee, at the postoffice. depot and at other points where men on their way to work were likely to be encountered. In many cases mes with their lunch buckets were stopped and turned back. Intimidation and fear of the pickets is said to have caused this action on the part of many of the employees who did not report for work.
 In Lowell and around the various ,. & A. properties the same tactics were pursued and a number of men were persuaded from going to their work at the mines.
 Higgins Mine company was forced to suspend operations, as was also the Night Hawk Leasing Company, the

 Considering the distance to be GOV cred and the fact that all preparations had to be made after the order came from the white house the night of May IS, it is practically certain that never before has a military expedition of this size been assembled. conveyed and landed without mishap in so short a time by any nation.

STRIKE SENTIMENT
 IS WANING IN GLOBE
rRv Review Leased wirel

GLOBE, Ariz., June 27.-The trend of Trades Crafts continues in meetings thi sweek to alignment irrevocably against support of or sympathy with any agitation or strike movement.
 Backing the attitude of the crafts, is the growing expression on the part of citizens in every line of endeavor of determination to go to extreme measures if necessary to convince the few imported non-workers who have been engaged in trying to stir trouble here that they cannot get by with such conduct in a loyal American commun- ity during war period.
 The electricians, trainmen, boiler makers and several other crafts have declared their attitude against strike propaganda Indication are that by the end of the week all of the crafts will decide to join in a joint resolution to the same effect. which shall have standing throughout the war.
 Another factor which is being talk en cognizance of by conservative men and not few of the radicals in dis trict is the known shortage of mine. mill and smelter supplies. Inability to of the companies to get deliveries of these supplies in sufficient quantity dpring the present month will be re- sponsible for a materially less copper output than had been expected. Sim liar shortage of supplies. due to car shortage. prevails with all of the mines of the state and is recognized as making a situation that may compel some of them to close down. strike or no strike, at almost any time. Strike likelihood has greatly waned here dur ing the week.
