RIVER IMPROVEMENT
TO Be Pushed BY Chamber Of Com.
merce-ImprOyement Meeting In
der Auspices OF River Deyei-
Opment Division Held
Tuesday Night.

Quite a number of our representa-
tive business men gathered at the
Chamber of Commerce Tuesday even
ing to hear the fifth of series of dis
cussions relative to the needs of our
city along the lines Of river develop
ment.
Mayor Russell, tho chairman of the
River Improvement Division, was in
charge of the meeting. He expressed
his regret in being compelled to in
form the members assembled that he
had received a telegram just before
this meeting from the speaker Of the
evening, Mr.. J. n Kehoe, who was
unavoidably detained in Cincinnati
Mayor Russell in his Introductory

Secretary Dodds was called on for
few remarks and told the members
that he believed the opportunities OF
a life time were knocking at our door.
That the federal government is con-
Quoting surveys up and down the riv-

advisabilty of continuing its appor-
tionments.
He said, 81 have received COW

Corps of Engineers. U. S. Army, Wal
ter Parker, assistant. for Inland Wat
er Transportation, etc, asking what
Maysville expects to do to encourage
revived river transportation. | told
them that Maysville has always been
known to do her mart, that we appre-
ciate the fact that we need better
river approach and terminal and that
1t is more than probable that some
constructive work will be done this
year. told them that we would urge
them to insist upon Congress to con-
time the appropriations for the i'm
provement of the river because 1t was
not at present in the most naviga.

BILE shape. No person in building
would discontinue the work on a
house that was three-fourths cons
pleted for the mere reason that a
tenant was not in sight. We must
continue these improvements of the
river such as the dams in progress
because no business man will invest
10000 or $4,000 in ships and then
be compelled to have them lay idle
because of insufficient depth of wat
e.
1--WE must take some action this
summer on the ferry and wharf boat
approach il we are to demonstrate
the government our desire for river
transportation. We must improve ii
for another reason and that is because
it represents link in the Jackson
Highway, one of the most famous
roadways and which will be one O.
most prominent roadways before
many years. None Of us can foretell
what may come to pass in the next
couple of years. None of us can tell
what calls this war may make upon
rs or our turnpikes. Should we be
allied to furnish an extra million men
in hurry it is not an improbable pos
sibility that the government will
transport her army supplies and SOL
diers over land by motor vehicles.
That, you gentlemen may say, is in
the distant future, but | want to tel
you that some of our most brillian
and well posted men are predicting {;
long drawn-out war. 1t is much bet
ter to be prepared for an emergenc
and not have it occur than to have It
occur and not be prepared to meet it
'"Whle we are here to discuss river
transportation, highways are so close
ly allied with it that we must con-
slider the possibilities of revive
trade to the South, if we obtain
vived river transportation. With the
government making use of the motor
trucks in postal delivery, it is likely
to mark the beginning of greater
use of the commercial car. We can
appreciate what it would mean to u
if we had, not only the present blu
system extending into our adjoining
counties, but motor truck delivery
system extending far into the centra
part of Kentucky, carrying river
freight from an improved terminal
A traction service connection with
the Paris division would be an impor-
tant factor carrying express from our
river terminal.
Another thought we must bear in
mind and one which has been recent
ly advocated is the need or additional

REPUBLICAN FORCE ALL OV HONOR R0LL
 AND SO IS STANLEY

From the tiniest carrier of the Re publican to the "big boss not missing single member of the big payroll, this paper reported to War Work Fund head headquarters yesterday afternoon 100 per cent strong. Its total, in cash, with not a single deferred payment was S226.50, all collected in a single day by Mary Langford- While the Honor Roll' was being circulated, some one heard 8 piping voice from behind the counter:
 Me too! Don't forget me" It was Stanley Cronin, smallest car Tier on the force to be sure, but one of the biggest subscribers,-biggest in proportion to his "income,"-for he wrote his name on the list and proudly entered the sum Of five simoleons' 5 Then Stanley was not satisfied. He hustled over to headquarters, begged for an Honor Roll' of his own and laid in wait for the small army of carrier boys that flock around the building early in the morning. Without excep- ton, these little vendors of breakfas st table literature stood in line, pencil in | hand, under an electric bulb and af- fixed their names to the list, just as the sun came over the rim of the purple hills.
 Those who held their sympathy from the grim fighters in France, who gave miserably too little,-oennies when dol lars would have meant so much cheer and comfort-let them remember little Stanley Cronin many years to come His $500 bill will make one or a dozen rough soldier hearts as cheerful as the three figure" sum the company clipped in.

PAST YEAR GOOD FUR CORN IN THIS STATE 

This was a good year for corn ln Arizona, L. NJ. Harrison. field agent for the department of agriculture, an nounced in an official bulletin issued in Phoenix.

KEEP BOYS CLEAN AS THEY NOW ARE, SAYS
 SECRETARY BAKER

In a special appeal to the Arizona; state council of defense, Secretary of War Baker has urged that unusual precautions be taken to safeguard our soldiers and sailors from the evils that have been so successfully kept from them during the war He begs that the boys be returned to their families with the same absence of taint that they enjoyed when they went forth to fight for their country. The message follows:
 'HThe signing of the armistice in no way lessens the responsibility of the civil communities for the protection of soldiers from prostitution and the sale of liquor. All cities and states ought never lose the control which has been established or stop this vital work" This same message has been forwarded to every governor in the United States.
 The government proposes to leave no measures unused in continued re- pression of the evils mentioned. from now until such time as demobilization is fully accomplished. The war de- partment is fully determined to return soldiers to their families and to civil life uncontaminated from disease or unworthy habits.
 Reports of laxity from your com- munity," continues the message, "after so much has been done. would be dis aster to our soldiers and their families. You are requested to consult with your local health officers and authorities and assist them to prevent any relaxa- tion of efforts. The gains of the last IS months will be lost unless vigilance is now increased"

Strange Search light Illumines Country
 Mystifies Credulous

To the mystification of many people and serving to alarm the superstitious and more credulous, a strange searchlight of great power and penetration lighted the country east of Phoenix on We'd nesday night
 So strong were the rays of this strange light that they were thrown into windows of houses more than a mile away with such intensity that persons were en- abled to read by the light.
 Many were the conjectures con corning the origin of the strange searchlight, and the telephones tangled for a long time with in quiries. It was noC a big light, but it was such a powerful one that it was instantly determined that it could not come from a mo- tor car.
 But the explanation of that il- lumination served also to explain why the electric lights were out in Phoenix at the same time and why the street railway service was in- terrupted.
 One of the wires of the high power transmission line in the Wilson district was burned in two, and the current was made to feed powerful improvised search light.

FRESH EGGES TOBE
 10CENTS MORE THAN
 COLDSTORAGECLAsS

At recent meeting of the Egg Pro- ducers' association it was decided to market eggs on the quality basis.
 Many of the merchants of Phoenix were interviewed by N. l.. Harris, fed eral poultryman for Arizona, and with out exception they were in favor of placing premium on strictly fresh, clean eggs of standard weight It is hoped in the near future to place on the market the following four grades of eggs:
 Extra fancy, which are strictly fresh, clean and infertile, weighing not less than A ounces to the dozen; pro- duced by grain-fed hens and intended for the highest class trade.
 Fresh eggs, which will include all fresh, clean eggs weighing not less than 21 ounces to the dozen.
 Cold storage eggs, number one, which are selected eggs of good qual- ity and size.
 Cold storage. number two, the so- called seconds" usually as good in quality but smaller in size than num- Der ones.
 At present only two grades of eggs are recognized, fresh and cold storage.
 The egg is one of the most import ant elements in the daily diet. Espe cially is it necessary to the run down system and the growing child. No other food excels the egg in the neces- sary clements, and milk is the only other food that equals it At the pres ent prices these two items of food are the cheapest on the market, contain ing as they do the clements essential to life
 The food value of eggs depreciates quite rapidly owing to evaporation and chemical changes. No matter how well preserved, eggs cannot be shipped long distances or held in storage for long periods without losing some of their most desirable clements. Recognizing these facts, the Fair Price committee has made differ ence of 10 cents per dozen between strictly fresh eggs and the cold stor- age product. This recognition, it is hoped, will greatly encourage the egg producers of the Salt River valley and stimulate the matching and growing of many thousands more chickens this spring. With the cooperation Of pro- ducers. the commission men and the merchant, it is expected that the val lev will become one of the great egg producing sections of the country The climate and other conditions are especially adapted to poultry produc- tion. With proper market regulations there is no reason why this should moi equal the much advertised Petalums and southern California poultry dis | trictS.

-NOH|NT WHEN BOYS
 AT CANT0NMENTSARE ID BE ORDERED HOME

Inquiry has been made at this office as to the status of the boys who are in the camps and cantonments, wheth- CT they will be returned, now that the armistice has been signed.
 No information regarding that has been issued by the war department. Many telegram from the department and the office of the provost marshal general have been received at the off, flee of the adjutant general, but they all relate to men who had not yet been inducted and had not been called.
 Directions were given to instruct the district and local boards to discontinue all work connected with the classifi- cation of men who on September 14 had attained their 37th birthday and to continue to completion as expedi tiously as possible, the classification of all registrants who on September 12 had attained their 18th birthday and had not at that date reached their 37th. It was ordered also that ques- tionnaires shall be issued to all regis trants who were IS on September 12 and to proceed with and complete as soon as possible the classification of such registrants.
 Further orders it was stated would be issued regarding the latter class of registrants. In conclusion Provost Marshal General Crowder telegraphed:
 Tn entering pursuant the foregoing instructions upon what seems, in view of the mighty events of the day, to be the final work of this character to be done by the selective service system, I extend to the members of that system my personal congratulations upon their truly great achievements of the past year and half, achievements that have taxed to the utmost the time. the ability, and the endurance of all those engaged in the work, and that have furnished the army to which in large measure must be given the credit for saving to the world both civiliza- ton and government by the people.

WILLIAMS TOWNHAS WQ0D SHED SESSION
 WITH BOBBY BURNS

The Republican a few days ago re- eived a telegram from City Marshal obby Burns of Williams relative to ne influenza situation in that town. To declared it was on the wane, that he restrictions that had been placed pon the town were then useles; that hey were galling to business men and nat in all probability damage suits 5ould be instituted against the state uthorities for interfering with the commercial life of Williams.
 The Republican did not print the elegram, mainly for the reason that it lad the appearance of having been oncocted in the heat of passion, and his paper felt that it would be a 1ndnesS to Bobby Burns to suppress {. But the marshal, in order to make iure of it's publication had sent a copy another paper which did print it, nd still other copies were sent to Acting Governor Osborn and Attorney Ieneral Jones.
 There has been an aftermath, as may ,e inferred from the following tele- srsms received by the acting governor yesterday:

The mayor and town council of Williams wish emphatically to state to the above persons that Bobby Burns had absolutely no right and without any authority, whatsoever to implicate the town of Williams in the manner indicated by the ar ticle in the Gazette. We also wish it understood that in so overstep- ping his authority MT. Burns has been severely reprimanded in a special meeting of the said council. We also wish it understood that the town of Williams wishes in every manner to cooperate with and abide by all the rules and regu- lations offered by the state and county boards of health in regard to the further prevention of the oPA VI liC tPiuCllilC uON pTt- vailing throughout the country.
