 COMMERCIAL REVIEW
 NEW YORK, March S.-Dun's to- morrow will say:
 Relatively few reports now fail to reflect distinct betterment in condi- tions, following a winter of excep- tional severity and general disloca- tion of business, and conspicuous in stances appear of reviving activity at sharply rising prices. While not few foodstuffs have logically be- come cheaper with the changing sea- son, and though certain other markets disclose easing for different reasons, most raw materials and fin ished products are either fully sus- tained at high levels or still tend upward, and there is no difficulty in selling some commodities at almost any figure. With the continuing re- lief from the congestion in trans portation, the recovery in manufac- ture makes more rapid headway and outputs are appreciably augmented. There is some speculative buying ill anticipation of further price ad- | Vances.

SCOTTSDALE. March S.-Sunoay witnessed the dedication of the first church to be erected in Scottsdale, the pretty little building of the First Bap- tist church. Three special services were held during the day, the regular pastor, Richard Pope offered the morn ing sermon. The afternoon services were presided over by Rev. McCourt- ney, who preached the dedicatory ser mon. In the evening Rev. c. M. Rock of Phoenix preached.
 To no one is there due more praise than to V. A. Vanderhoof for to his unceasing efforts are the congregation indebted for the church, the lack or which the community has felt for som, time. MT Vanderhoof received hearty cooperation from the residents here regardless of sectarian belief.

DR. FRED PERRY
 TELLS 0F REAL
 SCENES OF WAR

The most powerful, and the most convincing message that has been brought to Phoenix on the war is that by Dr. Fred Perry. This is the state ment made by Phoenix men who heard him speak at Tempe Thursday even ing, and by many members of the Rotary club who yesterday heard him at the Rotary luncheon, at which he was the principal speaker. Dr. Fred Perry was in and out of the great hos pitals, in the trenches, and for six months a rapid fire participant in the actual hostilities on the French war front. He speaks from direct knowl- edge, from actual experience, and therefore is able to impress the facts of the atrocities inflicted by the Huns. He recited actual facts verified by him. self that are far too terrible for public print
 Dr. Perry will speak fully of the facts of the situation n the war fronts and in the European countries at the Phoenix Union High school at 800 D. m. Sunday. Without doubt the Ro- tarians will all be there because the talk made before them yesterday whet- ted their interest and they expressed themselves as understanding with more clearness the underlying principles of this great war than they had before.
 Another feature of the Rotary clubs meeting yesterday was the report of Captains A. A. Betts and Clarence Boynton on behalf of the two Rotary club war saving thrift stamp societies.
