FOWLER RANCH |S AGAIN SO[D
 S80,000 PRICE

There is an old saying to the effect that the man who makes country, never makes money out of it. Possible evidence along this line is contained in the news that the Well-knoWn B. \. Fowler ranch, northwest of Phoenix and east of Glendale, has been resold for $S0,000, the transaction completed by J. R. Loftus, and by Arthur Fisher of the DaVie company. The purchaser is C. R. Green of this city who will turn under most of the alfalfa of the 320acre tract and who will plant to cotton with the expectation of clearing $50,000 by next years crop, if the long staple will sell next fall for even 50 cents a pound.
 It happens that this item of one years prospective profit represents the sum for which the ranch was sold two years ago by Mr. Fowler to John Northcutt. who reaped fair financial return from a couple of hay crops, be- side an annual investment profit of i S15,000 on the land itself.
 | Possibly no other man ever served the Salt River Valley more diligently or more effectively than did Mr. Fow- l Ter, who for years was president of the ! SdlJ 6iNef Y NdlleE- W dleT U SerS aSSOcl- ation and who was one of the men who dragged the United States Reclamation Service into it's consideration of this section as the first point for demon strating its plans for expansion of the nations irrigated area. MT. Fowler had keen interest in everything that might better production conditions and spent large sums in demonstrating theories, good and poor, on his ranch which became known as one of the fin est in Arizona In his zeal for for Warding the general welfare, it is prob able he failed to take much persona profit. He sold for little more thaI the ranch had cost him and at a tim, just before the phenomenal rise il farm land values. He wrote only late ly from Los Angeles expressing grat ification over the prosperity that ha come to the valley and confidence tha the farm he established would be foun, one of the best examples of modern r rigation practice.

LONDON, Jan. 2.-Many parts of England are threatened with a meat scarcity. Until recently meat was fair ly abundant, though high in price, but new order issued by. Lord Rhondda, the food controller. regulating the price of cattle on the basis of live weight has caused the farmers to refuse to sell their beasts in the market, while the butchers in some places complain that they cannot continue to sell at sched- uled retail prices and are determined to close their shops unless the prices are revised.

LONGER LUNCHEON
 HOUR |S GRANTED

A change in the daily program of the city schools, which has been advo- cated by many of the patrons of the schools for the past several years. was made yesterday when the monday lunch period was heightened from one to one and one-half hours. This will enable practically all of the pupils to go home for their monday lunch, and will do away with the cold lunch at noon. Suggestions for the longer period have been received by Superin- tendent John b. Loper for the past several years, and yesterday he in augurated the change for a one months trial. If the change does not prove entirely satisfa ctory the former sched- ule will be resumed on February 1.
 In order to make up for the extra half hour taken at noon. the pupils will be dismissed later. Even with the extra time added to the afternoon ses- sion. the dismissal time of the last class will not be later than o'clock.

LONDON, Jan. At a meeting of Austro- German and Russian delegates at Petrograd Monday to discuss the conditions of prisoners, says a state ment issued by the Russian official news bureau, M. Radekm on behalf of the Russian delegation said that to the victims who had fallen in battle for peace had been added many German friends of peace who, according to Rus sian information, had been imprisoned because of their fight for peace If this information was true, he added. the possibility of starting their human itarian work would be infinitely more difficult. $ .s%.x
 M. Radek said he hoped that the Austro German delegation realized the meaning of the spirit which broke the chains of Russian citizens and which regarded war prisoners as free men. He also hoped the Austro Germans would present the situation to their respective governments so as to ena ble Russian revolutionary representatives to join confidentially in the common task.
 ! The Russian delegate drew attention to the fact that the German govern ment had imprisoned many Russian citizens. including Poles and Let's, for | peace propaganda.

PROFIT ON
FLOUR FOR DEALERS

Washington, Feb. As a step
toward prevention of proflteerfng in
-four for the duration of the war,
Food Administrator III G. Hoover has
fixed the gross maximum profit for
wholesalers and retailers on this
product.
1T is the opinion of the United
States food administration" Mr..
Hoover said, "that the gross maxi
mum profit for wholesalers in flour
should not exceed from SO to rs
cents per barrel.
"The profit to retail dealers in or
iginal mill packages should not ex-
ceed from 80 cents to $1.2O per bar
rel, depending upon the character of
service performed. Where retailers
sell in amounts less than the orig
inal mill packages, the gross profit
should not exceed one cent a pound"
Warning is given that "any prof
it's in excess of those considered In
prewar times will be considered
cause for investigation"
The flour profit order was design
ed to prevent increases In price due
to the prevailing shortage in the
Chicago territory and other sections.
This shortage is held due to trans
portation difficulties and the expec-
tation that it soon will be remedied.
But until furr flour stocks are avail
able the administration wants no
profiteering. =.
