MANN CLAIMS MORE
 INSPECTORS NEEDED

That in order to properly supervise the checking of plans and the erection of new buildings in Phoenix, the city inspector of buildings needs more help, is the contention of Herbert J. Mann retiring inspector
 In lengthy report to the city man -ager submitted on condition appertain- ing to the new buildings going up in Phoenix, Mann has the following to say: The building inspector is pro- vlded with no deputies to assist him in enforcing the building ordinance. Among his other duties are the exam ination of plans to see that they com ply with the building ordinance and the inspection of buildings under con- structiOn. During the month of June 9S building permits were issued. This required the examination of 40 plans and specifications. To check thesu properly would require the entire time of at least one engineer
 At present there are approximately 200 buildings under construction To make even one inspection of each a week would require four inspectors. Even with this number of men it would still be impossible to inspect such de- tails as the placing of steel and the mixing of cement, or the size and mum Der of nails used. unless an inspector were present at all times while this work was going on. To exercise this amount of supervision would at the present time require about 15 inspec- tors for this duty"
 'The further recommendation IS made that in the future all buildings to be used as theatres or places of gathering should be of class A throughout.

TA[OUPES HAVE
 GREATEST SEASON

Never before have Arizona canta- loupes made as fine showing as they have this year in the Salt River valley, says the weekly press letter of the university of Arizona
 The bulk of the crop was moved before the recent heavy rains in the valley so the damage was not as great as would have been otherwise.
 The prices have been good. the yield satisfactory and the pack put up by the growers better than ever be- fore. This will go far toward helping to find satisfactory markets next year. Shortly befoYe the recent rains 150 to 200 cars of cantaloupes were moving daily from the Salt River valley where 4500 acres were planted.
 According to l.. NJ. Harrison, field agent for the bureau of crop esti- mates, the cantaloupe shipments would this year be about twice as large as last year when 1173 ears were shipped. This estimate was made public before the recent rains which caught the last end of the crop and which no doubt will cut the total down considerably.

 The Greensboro Daily News, in com memOration of the event, has published a special 70. Henry edition" that de- serves a permanent place in the library of every o. Henry devotee. Aside from the fact that this number of the News represents a striking example of jour naliStic enterprise and literary good taste, it is a remarkably interesting document. It presents d valuable com pendium of "reminiscences by Greens borians who knew Porter as small boy, as a clerk in Porter X Daltons drug store and a Yenturer whose wan derings were casually reported up to the time of his tragic encounter with the law. when whispers that will Por- ter has gone to the bad" were heard in the streets.

RALEY RETURNS FRESRFOR WORK
 MYTH CHILDREN

E. D. Raley and family returned to Phoenix Saturday after being away for more than a year engaged in army Y. Nj. c. A. work in Camp Travis and WhippIe barracks. MT. .Raley has enjoyed the work and has had an opportunity to get many interesting experiences in army and hospital life, but he is glad to get back into civilian work again.
 MT Raley takes up the state church and Sunday school work again and is more than ever convinced that it is the work we do with the child that counts most in the final test of life,
 The following is copy of a letter sent out to all the churches in the state:
 At last the peace treaty is signed. We trust the war is over. After just one year in army Y. NJ. e. A. work, l am back with the Sunday school work. Our opportunity and our obligation in Christian work widens and grows. l hope to do better work in helping the churches and the schools than ever. The war has imprest some of us with the importance of religious work in childhood as nothing else could. Some of us realize, too, that if bolshevism is to be met and destroyed it will have to be done by the church and by cor rect teaching in the church and Sun day school
 'The state Sunday school associa- ton can help all the schools and churches. The State Church Fedora tion and other inter church movements are to be fused into one work and all handled from our office. We can help every school and class and teacher in the state by holding conferences. con ventions and bringing the latest good thing in use to all of the schools.
 "The association is nothing more than the mutual associating together of all schools and all churches that all may help and be helped. It is the high mark in Christian fellowship and cooperation It will detract from none and may help all.
 we have over hundred ministers, one hundred and thirty churches three hundred and fifty schools, twen- ty thousand members in the schools, and the task of preparing this com pdnN IOr SuIIlclenl ledNeH ludI three hundred thousand in our state may be made righteous. This can be done if we will all plan and work with one common purpose.
 Please note that our state co1Nen- tion will be held in Phoenix October 2325, that we want you to plan to send representative from your school or community to this convention, thai we want the report of your school that we have estimated a budget for the years work amounting to $5.00000 that this will mean 25c per member for the year. that we would like to have an offering from your school just as soon as it is convenient, that we plan to publish a religious educational journal once each month and send a supply to each school, that a local in stitute, conference or convention may be held in your school or community any time you suggest. and that l am anxious to help your school at al times.
 Our state executive committee, to- gether with state denominational mer Jenkins. Dunlap, Atkinson, Scar borough, Cory, Himebaugh-are unani- nous in backing the work.
 Wishing you the best year of your life and trusting we may hear from you just as soon as possible, remain

o. HENRY IS HONORED
 IN OWN HOME TOWN
(Washington Post)

The late William Sidney Porter knew the varied cries of the cities, but did not live to hear the insistent calls of the states. Since his death an increas- ing number of communities claim him as a favorite son. Even Broad
 way has heralded him as the golden
 singer of lifes joys along the great white way. Now, however, his birth place steps forward with a monument to the author that will fix the place of his nativity in the minds of other trav-
 elers. Greensboro, N C., has erected a palatial hotel as a community con- tribution and named it The o. Henry" In the opinion of his fellow townsmen, this luxurious modern inn, properly
