GOVERNMENT ORDERS

The government, especially in war
times, is supreme in authority. 1t
should cease to take dictation from
labor union leaders. These men hav-
ing secured one concession, strut
around Dragging of "giving orders to
the government" and get busy hatch
ing up fresh demands so that they
may "show their power" These fell
lows need good hard jolt. Also
they need to be put to work or in
the trenches.

CARY TAKES HIGH
STAND ON WAGES
AND STEEL PRICES

NEW YORK. Dec. "a moderate
reduction in the scale of maximum
prices for steel beginning on January
/. is favored by the general committee
on steel and steel products of the
American Iron and Steel institute,
which meets with the war industries
board on Wednesday.
This was announced by Ebert H.
Gary. chairman of the committee, at a
meeting here of steel manufacturers
today with the recommendation that
the question be referred to the commit
tee with power to act, which was done.
Mr.. Gary opposed any effort to re-
duce wage scales at present declaring
that while labor is receiving higher
compensation than ever before, the
rates are no higher than are proper
and Just in view of the cost of living.
Perhaps the most satisfactory way
of reducing the present basis of gen
eral prices that are abnormal Mr..
Gary said, would be the making of
simultaneous reductions in every di-
rection,' but this, he declared, would
be impracticable. He urged therefore,
that the steel industry, as the baron
eter of trade begin reductions in
| prices, even at a sacrifice. Such a
course, he declared, would result in
price reductions by persons huying

FARM ORGANIZATION
To PLACE SOLDIERS
ON ARIZONA LANDS

FIRST steps toward opening up the
srcat area of unclaimed lands in Ari-
iona to returned soldiers was taken in
Phoenix last night at meeting at the
chamber of commerce. where a COM
plete organization was effected and
took the name of the Soldiers Settle
meut committee of Arizona. The or
ganization will devote its energies to
tabulating information on Arizona
lands which may be opened to soldier
settlement. and later to getting the
state legislature to appropriate funds
Tor carrying on the work.
The organization which formed last
night was the outgrowth of COM
mittee on the same subject which was
was formed yesterday morning at the
chamber Of commerce. J. +. Lotus
OF Phoenix was chosen chairman of
the new organization and A. c. Seiboth
OF the state land department. secretary
and treasurer.
At the meeting last night it was de-
cldcd that the organization shall con
tain at least one member from eacn
county in the state. and that this
member may name additional mem
hers in the county for collecting data
from that particular county. A CEN
trail committee of five to have charge
of the headquarters office here of The
organization, will be named today by
Mr.. Lotus.
A letter from the state council OF
defense was read at the meeting. ir
which the council heartily endorsed
the formation and proposed work o.
the organization and offered its office.

First Day of Week Cam

Total Of $4,000; Sound
Keynote at Big Afternoon
Rally

cover the Top Marcopa," the slogan
for the first day of War Savings Stamp
week. got the workers off to a fair and
encouraging start, it being estimated
at city headquarters that a total invest
ment of $4,000 throughout the county
may have been recorded during the
day.
One of the most encouraging episodes !
of the day was a little incident which |
highly delighted those at headquarters. !
A rancher living near Kyrene came in |
to headquarters. said he had been read |
ing about the War Savings stamps and /
estimated that his proportion for the
week should be $3.50 which he pro-
ceeded to invest. 1t is believed that
through just such inner searching Of
conscience will the deficit for the coun-
ty be made up this week.
Afternoon Meeting Is Success
While the afternoon was rather chill,
yet there was nothing chilly about the
spirit of the workers who assembled at
the afternoon War Savings rally at the
Y. NJ. c. A. stadium. Judge Kibbey
sounded the keynote for the meeting
when he said that he believes that if
the people appreciated the value of the
War Savings investment, how it can
on a few days notice be converted into
cash, thus being as good as gold with
interest added, they would respond so
that the stigma that Maricopa county
had failed would not be attached to this
big campaign.
The war is not over" said Judge
Kibbey The expenditures are not
over. If the people would realize that
| the government has incurred obliga-
tons which must be met through this
measure | feel sure they would respond
! by investing in Baby bonds which are
as good as gold with interest added.
/ We should invest as a duty due to
the men who have fought so bravely
for US over there. The money is needed
to care for them and to bring them
home. They are the men who at Cha
teau Thierry turned the tide of battle
and out of gratitude We should not fail
to support them in this way for the
great thing they have done"
Campaign Manager Talks
Joseph R. Lotus. manager for the
Maricopa County War Savings Cam
paign was then called upon and imme-
diately got down to business by asking
for reports from workers. Progress
was reported by several of the workers
but most of the reports from secretaries
of War Savings societies indicated that

terest to slacken in the work when the
armistice was declared. Mr.. LOTUS
himself said he had raised about 81, SOC
during the day, J. c. Dobbins, county
chairman, reported that he has secured
the investment of about $500 and Barry
GoldWater said that he had sold about
| half of the stamps he had set out to sci

a stable business basis was reached.
IF the workmen are treated fairly
and literally" he said, they will stand
and contend for fair treatment of the
employer.
Suggests Broad Attitude
You have Il chance to do something
valuable toward sustaining the equilib-
rum of the country. While some
might suffer losses at present, perhaps
it would prevent greater losses in the
future We would be leaders in
movement calculated methodically to
readjust conditions in an orderly way.
We might have some influence on
steadyiug business generally, and re
member the workmen are more inter
ested in this question than any others,
for labor constitutes the greater part
of the cost of production. from the raw
material down to the finished product,
and its use by the consumer.
Our employees must continue to he
treated literally with respect to their
compensation and general welfare. We
will continue to treat them as asso-
cates and valuable assistants in our
work.
There is no ground for believing. as
some times limited, that the workers
of this country are desirious of con-
| trolling the methods of production OF
| distribution. They know they could
not be successful in the experiment.
Mr.. Gary predicted that, if business
| is fair to its employees, its customer:
and its competitors, the next five
years will be the most progressive

and office staffs for the use OF the
committee, with as much money as the
council could assist the committee
with under the law.
The work of the organization will be
along the lines requested by the Sec
rotary of the interior, Franklin X.
Lane. Similar organizations to do
similar work are now being formed in
all the states The Arizona commit
tee will make full investigation Of
all lands in the state which are now
unsettled with a view of ascertainin 2
the practicability of settling soldiers
upon them Both public and private
lands are included, as are government
lands open to demonstrating, closed TO
demonstrating forest reserves and In
dian lands.
When the state committee completes
its detailed and comprehensive repor,
it will be presented TO Secretary Lane
and movement undertaken to have the
lands reclaimed. 1t is estimated that
large numbers of discharged soldiers
could be used in this reclamation
work also A test vote taken amon1
a hundred thousand soldiers in the
service has shown that about 40 pei
cent of them desire to take UP farm
ing after the war.
A movement TO have the state aid il
the reclamation project for soldiers
settlements will probably ber launched
in the state legislature at its mex
session.

If Pledges Had Only Been Met
County Chairman j. G. Dobbins said I
that there would be no need for the I
drive if those who had given pledges 1
to invest in War Savings Stamps had
only lived up to their agreement. He
said that on July ! he turned into the
government at Washington pledge
cards which if lived up to, would with
the ordinary street and cash sales have
put Maricopa county over the top. He
expressed regret that the county which
had gone far over the top in all other
patriotic endeavor is lsgging so far be-
hind for the w. 5. S. and then he told
Of the hope to get owners of 100000
in Liberty bonds to sell those bonds
and invest the proceeds in War Savings
Stamps,
Arrangements have been made to
keep committee at the r. Allyn Lewis
and Lawhon e Piper offices Tuesday
and Wednesday to handle all Liberty
bonds which will be brought in to he
sold and the proceeds to be invested in
Baby bonds. There will be no broker
age charge for the transaction and the
Liberty bonds will bring the highest
New York quotation as shown on the
stock wire. It is to get this quotation
promptly that the business is done in
the broker offices, the brokers donating
their facilities and making no profit
in the hope that they may help out in
this work
1t merely swapping Liberty bonds
at New York value for cash and then
tuying the equivalent of the proceeds in
| Baby bonds. Thus the government
has new money through the sale of
| stamps as well as through the sale of
the Liberty bonds
Government Does Not Object
A. T. Esgatc said that while it is true
| the government objects to the sale of
I Liberty bonds so that the money Sc
cured may be expended in useless lux
/ uries he believes that the government
would have no objection to having the
Liberty bonds sold and the proceeds
/ invested in War Savings Stamps
Mr. Esgate says that if the people
would understand that the money they
invest will be used to bring the boys
home from the front they would all the
more readily invest and he suggested
as slogan for the campaign Invest
in War Savings Stamps to Bring the
Boys Home Again"
George j. Stoneman said that while
it is undoubtedly harder to raise money
now that the excitement of the war is
over yet he believed that such a num-
Der of earnest workers as he saw pres
ent at the meeting could not fail to
bring results. He said that he believes
the conversion of Liberty bonds is the
way to meet the problem in Maricopa
. county and that he felt absolutely GER

Der of other suggestions which were
noted by Campaign Manager Lotus.
B. E. Marks made a valuable sug-
gestion when he said that since the
influenza epidemic many of the War
Savings society secretaries had not
been able to keep jogging members
along to live up TO their pledges since
there We're no meetings at which the
secretaries are in contact with the
PLEDGES.
In response to this suggestion County
Chairman Dobbns said that Wednes-
day has been set aside as Keep Your
Pledge Day" and all those who have
given pledges to buy definite number
of War Savings Stamps during 1918 are
expected TO meet those pledges by
Wednesday evening of this week.

County Spirit Is Lacking

/ George Purdy Billiard said that what
is needed in Maricopa county more than
anything else is better county spirit
Being the largest county in the state
he said that the county seems to feel
contented and is not inspired to do the
things other smaller counties do. In
particular he spoke of the need of good
roads, saying that Maricopa county has
the poorest roads in the state whereas
being the biggest county it should have
the best.
Mr.. Billiard suggested that the Four
Minute Men be asked to take part in
this campaign, now that the theaters
are open again. He also made a num-

The ranger was about to speak
again when the clatter of hOofs in
terrupted him. Horses halted out
in front, and one rider got down.
Floyd Lawson entered. He called for
tobacco.
If his visit surprised Laramie he
did not show any evidence. But Law
son showed rage as he saw the ranger,
and then a dark CLINT fitted from the
eyes that shifted from Duane to
Laramie and back again. Duane
leaned easily against the counter.
"Say, that was a bad break of
yours" Lawson said. IF you come
fooling around the ranch again
therell be hell"
1t seemed strange that a man who
had lived west of the Pecos for ten
years could not see in Duane IN
thing which forbade that kind of talk.
1t certainly was not nerve Lawson
intolerant. With the matchless nerve
that characterized the great gunner
of the day there was a cool, unob-
trusive manner, a speech brief, almost
gentle, certainly courteous. Lawson
was a hot-headed Louisianian of
French extraction; a man, evidently,
who had never been crossed in any
thing, and who was strong, brutal,
passionate. which qualities in the face
of a situation like this made him
simply a fool.
you're right. But not the kind
you think" Duane retorted. his voice
sharp and cold.

in slow speech. But let me return
your compliment. You're a fine South
erner! Why, you're only a four-iush-

for him there was the truth in Law

draw. But how slow! Duane lunged
forward. His long arm swept up.

hard, in a half-sitting sposture against

Hammock Product of indian.

There is no doubt that the hammock
Is a product of the American Indian.
1t has never been found among the In
dams of North America, however, but
is common in the West Indies and in
the tropical countries of South Amer
lea. The earliest reference to the
hammock, as far as we know, is found
in Columbus narrative of his first voy-
age, where, after his landing at San
Salvador, he speaks of the natives
thus: "A great many Indians in
canoes came to the ship today for the
purpose of bartering their cotton and
hamacas or nets in which they slept"
These Indians, the first discovered by
Columbus, were Arawaks, and the
word hammock" comes direct from
the language of that tribe.
