Great Crowd at Kirksey Yes
terday.

The Kirksey community had re-
cord crowd at the short course and
demonstration yesterday. More than
500 people were in attendance at the
day session and at the night meeting
the tent was filled to overfowing. The
moving pictures proved very popular.
The days program began at 10
o'clock with an interesting and en-
thusiastic talk by Mr.. Mobley, follow
/: ed by very forceful talk on Educa-
tion by County Superintendent T. E.
Dorm. Mr.. Dorm came at the request
of trustees of the several schools
which have under consideration the
matter of consolidation.
Mrs. Howie talked interestingly
about her visit to England and more
especially her visit to the Royal Dairy
Barns.
A barbecue dinner was served at
o'clock and the program resumed at
2:3O. Mr.. Mobley again addressed a
large crowd on subject which might
be called Education which fits one
to do the things of this life" Mr.. Mob
ley used some unique and we'll pre-
pared charts which made his talk
more impressive.
The machinery demonstration be-
gan at 4:30. The tractor, plowing,
narrowing and pulverizine demon
stration was held in a nearby pas
ture, and was followed by the grind
ing demonstration. During this time
Mrs. Howie addressed a large crowd
of ladies on the subject of Dairying.
The motion pictures began at SUM-
down and continued until 10 o'clock.

To Be No Reduction in Clothing
Prices,

There is to be no reduction in the
present high price of clothing. On
the contrary, the cost of cotton and
wooden goods is going up steadily and
will continue to rise.
"The sky is the limit" yesterday
declared one Of the largest clothing
manufacturers in the United States
whose factories are located in this
city. "We have arrived at new price
level, and it is certain there will be nc
reduction for many years to come, u
he stated. Probably by 1880 there
may be gradual decline in the price
of textile industry products, but in
the meanwhile cotton and woolen
goods are due for phenomenal price
advances"
Especially in cotton goods does he
look forward to an even more rapid
increase in price that has marked any
period since the beginning of the
great war. The reason for the recent
advance in cotton prices is supplied
in the department of agriculture's re-
cent report on crop condition: 70 per
cent stands the lowest ever reported
for June. Then, too, there is reduc-
tion of 300,O00,000 acres in the pre-
viously planted area estimate. All this
points to a short crop. Also there ex-
lists and will continue to exist for
some time to come a tremendous Ia
tent demand for goods and rela-
tive shortage of workers caused by
the war. The greater the demand the
higher the price, and as the cost Of
the product is rs per cent labor, the
resultant hngh prices are inevitable.
Yet in spite of the rapidly increas-
ing prices in clothing, both cotton and
wooden, trade was never so brisk de-
clared one of the vice presidents of
she Baltimore Bargain House. "The
demand for clothing is almost in ex-
cess of the possibility of supply" he
contended. "This demand will not di-
minish materially till devastated Eu-
rope establishs herself on a peace
time production basis. l am in agree
ment with those who believe that this
in business is going to
tax our efforts perhaps even harder
than did the war. But I believe there
is cause for rejoicing in these condi-
tions even though accompanied by
high prices, for one must remember
it is not in its last analysis the price
one has to pay, but the relation this
price bears to ones own income. p

Geraty Gives Advice.

j. W. Geraty, a truck planter of
South Carolina, declared that if the
proposed duty was made effective the
cost of potash would be prohibitive to
farmers. He told the committee that
to produce nearly normal crops the
first year the German supply was cut
off. because Of the accumulated a.
mount in the land, but said that for
the second year the yields fell off 80
per cent and that this year crops on
land for which potash was necessary
would be only rs to 80 per cent of
normal. The American product, he
said, is inferior to foreign potash.

CHECK PROFITEERING
 ON HOME BUYERS
THE MANS BETTER WORKMAN WHO HAS
 BALANCE OF HOME ACTIVITIES
BY E. T. MILLER
BY E.. T.. Director Oson Of Public Development of Written for the Arizon

MAKE IT EASY FOR A MAN TO BUILD A HOME. First eliminate prof iteering on home buyers. Too ire quently those who have money attempt to profit by the weakness of those who have none.
 In many instances the prospective home owner is obliged to reduce his first and second mortgage concurrent ly, pay bonus for getting them placed and a commission for having them re- placed. Often the bonus and commits sion amount to more than the Iegiti- mate carrying charge.
 This form of financial profiteering is ubiquitous and should be discon- tinued by municipal. state and federal authority, as it strikes at the vitals of American life-the rearing of children on one hand and the young people who are just establishing, or attempting to ! establish themselves, on the other In i both instances the victims are not cir i cumstanced to meet the pressure. 1 While the security should be ample, | buying should be facilitated by | CD A small but continuous amorti- ! zation of the loan.
 @ Careful supervision of cc- sruc- ton.
 (3) A low interest rate. (D By making the amount oe the original loan high enough to avo.d the necessity for a second mortgage.
 Protection Of Loan ! These features are possible in such l legislation as the proposed Home Loan bank bill which sets up an insurance fund against mortgage losses. Where the insurance is on pooled mortgages the funds need be ample enough to meet only the FEW instances of de- faulting.
 When enterprises of this character are undertaken and the original con struction costs carefully supervised the interest rate low, the bonus and commission eliminated, the amortiZa- ton plan provided, the operation of the latter soon makes the security Of un- questioned soundness, especially if the municipality co-operates in the main tenance of the community character.
 MUNICIPAL PROTECTION OF THE CHARACTER OF THE COM MUNITY is necessary to meet the ob- jection of the average man who is hes itating to own his own home. He feel his property may not be negotiable be cause the city in which it is located does not protect it against the deterio ration worked on the community by un- desirable environments. After all ; man buys community life for himsel and family as well as a sheltering roof
 Keeping Up Values
 Municipalities should recognize their responsibility in this field an' o-operate in restricting the encroach ments of undesirable structures, sucl as factories, business houses, liver. stables. etc, which quickly destroy tn home character of a. community ant render the home property in the local ity unnegotiable.
 The municipal responsibility zoe farther than mere restrictions. should build community centers fo both young and old. play ground. schools. parks, keep the highways i condition and the transportation facil itieS adequate.

The war record of Marcopa county and Phoenix IS unbIemished We have gone the top in the Victory lean did in the four previous Liberty loan campaigns and in the various drives.
 This is d record which all those who helped make it will be proud and their pride will descend an inheritance to their children. A very large Der of public spirited and have kept this community out of the ranks of the slackers,
 More gratifying than the large amount of money the people have subscribed for Victory bonds, is the splendid spirit exhibited by and throughout the campaign. They gave only of their means but of their ability and their time to crown the work with success
 In the awarding of credit for what has been done the need is to be measured by the amounts of the subscriptions alone but Uy the in junction with the financial ability of the subscribers There is many poor woman whose $50 bond, bought with her meagre savings already accumulated, to- sether with savings yet to be made, who deserves greater credit than the purchase s50OeO worth bonds
 We congratulate all the people who have trbuted to the success of the campaign to the com peted glory of community in every phase of work.

The Most Formidable Foe

The most formidable enemy have to meet in the county road bond campaign is General Apathy, whose passive strategy has brought about the defeat of so many excellent movements in all times and all places.
 We think though that we have this ancient war ror pretty well hemmed in and that he will be thor oughly overcome before the bond election next saturday
 The people are awake. They want good roads, permanent roads, and they know that there is other way to get them except in the way proposed. They fully understand how much a system of faced roads will to them, to farmers to chants and consumers. They know that good roads are money savers. far can judge from with people from all parts of the county reports those who have canvassed the county, the bonds are supported in sentiment by very over whelming majority of the voters.
 But elections, bond otherwise not carried by sentiment The election officials cannot and record sentiment.
 Sentiment if expressed has good deal to do with the aftermath Of bond elections If it is pre- ponderating it cuts an important figure with bond buyers. They will pay more for bonds, at any rate, they will take them readily if they know and they can know only from the election figures that there is strong sentiment behind them.
 
 defeat General Apathy is organizations definite and systematic plan to bring voters to the polls It is unnecessary to advance arguments concerning the merits of the bond proposition. The people under stand that
 They need on1y to be impressed that they should vote. The majority will vote right We understand that an organization is being formed to bring out the voters. This operation should be extended
  in the towns the country all equally interested and all will be benefited.
 The chief lieutenant of General Apathy is Con- hdence. We suppose most people believe as we do that the bonds will carry and for that reason many will think it is worth while go the polls If enough people express their confidence in that way the bonds will not carry.
 The vote must be got out Let the attendance at the polls next Saturday be rousing one Voting the bond question is the important the best - paying business now before the people.

by no means new. In Tom Brown at Rugby" and Tom Brown at Oxford" find that boxing most respectable sport. Every year for half tury American colleges and universities have turned out men in whom were mingled proficiency In the classics, in rowing and in boxing.
 Boxing makes a boy more self-reliant and if he is inclined be peevish and at the same time cour- sgeous it is apt to make him more tolerant Many a boy want and then fight whQn he feels that he has been imposed upon just to show his resent of the indignty. His confidence in superior strength and skill tends to disregard of insults which feels he could punish he desired to do so He feels pride in forbearance in a disregard of a weaker enemy Skill in boxing gives him feeling of cool contempt in place of hot anger.
 It is observed that many of the army boxing in structors have come out of it changed men, They have higher place and perhaps will never descend to the low level which they necessarily occupied when the game was in disrepute.
 Dempsey and Willard belong to the old gang. They did not come within the purifying influence of the war Willard is accused of having been stacker His sportsmanship had always been regarded as doubtful and more than before his meeting with Johnson he had been suspected of yellowness. He kept himself out of the war and offers the excuse now for the preservation of his precious hide that he had a small family. Yet he had made enough, and he is a saving soul to keep his family safe from the buffetings of misfortune.
 It is also charged that during the war, he re- fused requests engage in exhibition boxing for war activities, of the other boxers who were not drafted and afraid to enlist did. This Willard denies though recalls that he ever performed that slight service for his country
 The Dempsey Willard match will be the recru- descence of the prize ring with it's old time faking and brutality from which clean boxing will suffer It will be good thing for the states to make sharp differentiation between the two classes of sport ab- soutely prohibiting the former.

 The great need for home, after all, is that, as our industry becomes more specialized and our processes more repetitive, the human mind, as well as the body, requires the balance of home activities.

The sternness Of the man aston ished me. Never before had heard Hamilton Certeis speak in that way, and had known him for years. When I was a small school girl he had first come up to Amesville with the LOT inner boys one summer. It was then that I initiated the boys and called him Tony"
 All the town followed the queer stunts" of the rich young foreigner. It was said that his parents lived half of the year in this country but no one knew what business kept them wan dering over the face of the earth the other six months.
 I remember well the comments of the small town college circle to whom Certeis was an interesting specimen He had been twice around the globe he could speak all of the major and some of the minor languages of Flu rope. And he crossed the Atlantic annually.
 To our little clique of professors and tutors, all devoted to acquiring and spreading culture of a guaranteed brand the friend of the Lorimer boys represented the world abroad" whicf | few of the mhad ever visited.
 Tony had been educated in Europe and had become "Dr. Hamilton Ger teis" before Bob received his degree When his parents died. he opened ar office in the middle west city where ! the Lorirners lived. And there I was ! sent to finish my college course, fol I although my own father was a colleg, 1 president, he believed that part of my l education consisted in being away i from my own home.
