M'ADOO'S SUCCESSOR
Carter Glass Spoken of For His Po-
Sition as Secretary of
The Treasury

Washington, Nov. 23.--Specula-
ton as to the man who will be named
to succeed William Gibbs McAdoo
secretary Of the treasury, was general
last night in hotel Hobbies and the
foycrs of the clubs. The Official cir
cles, however, could not venture the
name of any one man as the apparent
selection of the president. The belief
was general that in the past week, or
since the president has received the
resignation of Mr.. McAdoo, plans
have been made for the naming of a
man to succeed to the position.
Among the names of men mention
ed as possibilities was that Of Jas.
B. Forgan, chairman of the board
Of directors of the First National
Bank, of Chicago. Mr.. Forgan is
sixty years CT age and is not in ro-
bust health, which might initiate
against his section for the post.
Many students Of the political situa-
ticn in Washington pointed out that
Bernard NJ. Baruch occupies today g
position which fits him in peculiar
manner for the work of REIMBURSEMENT
financing in which the secretsiy of
the treasury must nave great part
during the coming five years.
Another possibility, in the minds
of many is DR.. Harry A. Garfield,
fuel administrator
Carter Glays, chairman IF the
house committee on banking and
finance was also being spoken of last
night.
Another name generally discussed
is that Of .Iehn Shelton Williams.
comptroller of currency, who has
been closely associated with Mr., Nc
Adoo in the solution of most of the
greater problems which have con-
frorted the department and the rail-
read administration in the past year.

COOPERATION OF FARMERS |S
 NARNECESS|TY

A visit from Washington of Mrs Edith C. Salisbury, formerly of the extension service of the university, but now national leader of county home demonstration agents, was the occasion for calling by Chairman Green of the Maricopa county farm bureaus meeting.
 About 50 persons met at the Water Users building at ? o'clock Monday afternoon including representatives of many local farmers improvement as- sociations, farmers' unions and house. keepers organizations of the valley. The speakers of the afternoon in- cluded Mrs. Salisbury, who explained ways women can cooperate through their farm bureau organization in car | rying on the very important work of women in food production and food l saving in these strenuous days. The many friends of Mrs. Salisbury were glad to welcome her and listened at l tentively to the important national messages she brought direct from the national capital.
 l Mrs. May F. Lockwood, who has charge of the work of county home demonstration work of Arizona, spoke
 of the splendid work being done by the
 women of this state and how they can
 organize and plan more work to do.

A Good Business Year

We do not believe there is another community in the whole country that point to a greater pro- portonate record of achievement the past year than the Salt River Valley We have some outstanding and undeniable figures. We have in the banks of Phoenix alone gain in deposits the year, of more than sS,00OO0o gain 9 per over the deposits of last year. We have no figures from the banks of Tempe, Glendale and Mesa from three or four new banks which have been established elsewhere in the valley within the year. But their contributions should add materially to the s300OoOO
 To arrive at the real amount of the gain in savings there should be added also the large sums that have been subscribed by residents of the valley the two Liberty Loans and to the Red Cross fund. Though all of the subscribed might otherwise have taken the form of deposits every dollar of it may be regarded part of the community saving up to the time the subscription made or paiG
 Merchants and men in all lines of business have done we'll Some of them had record years and in all cases business has been better than was expected. It was feared that the demand that would be made upon this. with all other communities in the country would decrease the purchasing power; that in the face of the war there would be general retrench- ment resulting in serious falling off in trade AL together we had conjured up a very gloomy outlook
 The improved character of business in Phoenix IS reflected in the increased volume of business of the postoffice which for December shows gain of 33 13 per cent the volume December busi- ness year This rate of increase increased as the year grew, showing steady improvement of conditions How much of the increase was due to growing business and how much to growing popua- ton, of course have means of determining for there has been flattering increase of both

 We do not think there is now any apprehension for the business future of this community We be lieve it has been stabilized that no exgencv of inc war can disturb it, that things go on as they have gone only getting better for beginning of tb. year, the community is in far better shane tban ;t was year ago. No only is there more money stored up, according to the bank statements but tber. |. more produce yet to be sold at higher prices In spite of nine months of war, the preparation for which entaed much greater expenditure than the country Will be called upon in another year to make and of which we have had to pay share this community,
 is in far better shape than it was at the beginning of last year.

him hearsay that they would be built, is an unsafe young to have around in France. He might order a charge of the whole American contingent upon the Hindenburg line without consulting with superiors or without an understanding with the rest of allies the western front.
 We imagine too, that the war department will take more than passing notice of his bunder, for if there is thing than another in which the department has felt unaoyed pride it has been in the construction of it's barracks canonments and other mobilization camps. In that it has performed miracles It may be subject to criticism in other directions critic has yet been found to com- plain of dilatorines the business of construction.
 part Of what has been accomplished is thus told by Arthur T. Merritt in the American Exporter:
 "of the sixteen camps, two only failed to be finished in the time fixed by the department, and there were extenuatng reasons for their backward Several of the camps were completed in sixty days, and all of thsm within three months from the beginning of operations.
 From 5000 to 10000 workmen employed in the creation each of these emergency cities, and each contractor handled about 5000 car loads of material. For each camp there required on the average 25000000 feet of lumber, 100000 square feet of wall board 1000 window sashes, 32, 900 square prepared roofing SO0O square feet of wire screen $500 solid board doors nearly 270o kegs nails For the water supply 5000 feet of pipe, ranging in diameter from. to twelve inches, had to be secured and laid for the 1000 feet of pipe of various sizes s
 d 12D0. They include, besides the barracks kitchens shower bath and sanitary units, hospital and ad- ministraton offices, aundries, conmissary stores, motion picture theaters etc. Every regiment has it's assembly hall where writing material books and other reading matter provided Here also educational classes under competent instructors conducted, and entertainments such lectures and motion pie given. In the great division auditorium, enter tainment is offered on a larger scale A number of the best known theatrical managers in the country have arranged to add the soldier cities to their cults and will present the type of plays best suited to such unusual audiences. Clean sport of all kinds will be fostered the outdoor games being under the supervision of prominent in athletic affairs.
 Every has his iron locker Ample hot and cold water baths provided in side lavatories The barracks electrically lighted and in the cold months will be heated by steam or stoves, depending their location in the northern southern states"
 And this is only part of the story of great achievement. Before construction work could be be- gun at each camp a complete system of side tracks and switches installed simplify the problem of transportation Miles of telegraph and electric light wires put in, roads built and in instances much grading was necessary All of this work done within less than ninety days from the time the plans completed. This is record that speaks for itself of efficiency

THE SONG OF THE SKATER

Glide, glide, bend and eareen, Mid shimmering blue and blue white sheen. Oh, am a boat As idly float, And rise on fairy crest! And I am reed, A tall grown weed That sways to the wind swept west. And a bird that swings On outstretched wings, And turns not back to nest. Oh, bright is the And the wind is tune As I rock and bend and sway And follow the stream Of a snow-White dream On the path of the shining day. And soar and sweep, And outward leap Away-away-away! Glide, glide. bend and careen
 Mid shimmerng blue and blue-whte sheen.

The world is launched upon a new year We are sorry to the last of the old It has been. taking the world over pretty dark and gloomy one. It is dark and gloomy tefore us but know that there is light somewhere ahead of and that will month or two or three or at some time before 1919. Anyway, it ahead in the direction are going and lime leading unerringy In that fact is hope which should fill with courage. There is nothing In the future to be afraid of.
 Out of our experiences in the past year we should draw courage and confidence for the coming year. It has proved again that ghosts without substance; that the most of the things far in front of with dread, shrink approach them; that all menacing calamties magnified by distance.
 year ago in the prospect of war, and last April in the certainty of participation in it. if could have foreseen the sacrifices would be called upon to make, the conscription of millions of young men and the expenditure of many billions of dollars we would have momentarly shrunk the task though, of course, would not have shirked it. Yet as we have approached these things by one. they have seemed less terrible almost matter of fact. We are surprised only at the ease with which we have ad- justed ourselves at the quicknes with which our softness became hardened at our willingness and cheerfuness in taking up the burdens which the laid down before us. We have been strengthened and glorying in our strength. We are ready now in 1918 for and arduous duties and for greater sacrifices.
 The end of the year will certainly find us stronger So after all, it cannot be bad year that promises much for us.
