Make Your Money Earn Money

The man who tells you it is unwise to put
money in a savings bank to only 4 per cent
is dead wrong-AND HE KNOWS IT TOO. 1t is
because you know where it is and can get it at
any time Nevertheless man should speculate
with some part OF his savings earnings and
profits and more money with his money.
A man with hundred thousand to a million
cent interest bearing stocks and bonds-there is
scarcely any risk in that plan, although they
may decline in market value. He is satisfied
with the income derived and usually doesn't
have to worry very much-but he certainly
didn't make his pile by saving small sums,
which only earned small rates of interest.

Submarines and Airplanes

What men do and what they accomplish is often, as the phlosophic Mir Grogan once remarked two mighty different things" Now. are the airplane end the submarine The former was designed wholly for peaceful eSds While most of us never figured that the airplsne would be than toy or a wonder of levitaton, the enthusiasts who were confident that it would sometime revolutionize trans portation never regarded it a possibility in war It was something they thought that within limited range, perhaps, might be used for the annoyance of the enemy but that it could produce decisive results
 On the other hand, the submarine was never con sidered, from the beginning, anything else than an instrument of destruction in It could serve no useful. peaceful purpose; it to be essentially naval vessel and nothing more.
 At the beginning of the late war the submarine was already highly developed but much remained to be done make the airplane useful even as a scout in the sky. The engine uncertain thing. The Germans may have had tolerably clear idea of the possibilities of the airplane but the allies not Their ideas were however, rapidly formed and when the deadlock the western front established in the first six months of the war; was the opinion of experts that the side which could obtain and keep control of the air would be the winner.
 The submarine though in the early months of the war, and, indeed throughout it. great engine of destruction. but believe that after a it was the most potent factor in bringing about the defeat of Germany. But for the submarine. America could not have become involved in the conflict. Though it harassed tho British and at times seemed almost to bring England its knees though probably that point nearly reached at any time the sub marine seriously interfered with the blockade of the central powers.
 It will probably again be used on an ex- tensive scale in warfare.

A camouflsse Meeting.

The meeting at the High School building yesterday was manifestly definite attempt to create class mis- understandings incite class hatred and prevent that cooperation between labor and capital the basis of mutual justice and fair play, which is so essential Co the welfare of the nation in meeting the great problems of reconstruction.
 The war has taught the people of America, rich and poor alike. the lesson of real democracy. The equal given alike by the of the employ ing class and the laboring class in the ranks side by side. bound people together in new bonds of unity. service and brotherhood and the self ish interests Of agitators should not be allowed to divide the people when if in the history of Amer lea unity of action is needed.
 The active interest and participation in yester days meeting. of organizers of the l. ". w. indicates that Che efforts of the organizers of the called Soldiers Sailors and Workmens Council really directed the undermining of organized labor whose loyal support of the under the leadership of Samuel Gompers and other broad visoned leaders of labor has been of the greatest factors bringing labor and capital together a new ground of mutual understanding and respect.
 The efforts of the leaders of this misguided move- 10 tie in the sailors and soldiers 10 the Of the organization as blind deceive the public was squarcy by the soldiers and sailors yesterday who after retiring from the meeting held conference and their return the meeting publicly withdrew from tho organization and demanded that the name. soldiers and Sailors" be omitted from the name of the organization.
 Every self-respecting and loyal man and in the community wants to be of real service to the returning soldiers and sailors. And every such man and woman must prove by deeds that they are un- qualifiedly behind these men who have served the nation only extending them the hand of fellow ship but by organized work seeing that jobs are promptly provided for these and that they are given the inside which their service at the front deserves
 One speaker snecrinsy said at the meeting yes tcrdsy Don't you soldier boys think your khaki uni form will help you to a job for it won't" This is an insult 10 the people of this community where any man who has red blood in his natural desire to help the men who have fought for him.
 Tho hearts of the people of Arizona are sound and here. in this community of the first steps should be the formation of National Defenders Club for the of soldiers and sailors This club co-opera ton with the government employment service and a committee of representative and women should take in hand definite campaign for the employment of returning and putting into definite practical action a genuine spirit of brotherhood

VETERAN CONTRACTOR
 APPROVES ROAD JOB

T. c. Snyder, an old-time Southern Pacific contractor, the man who double tracked the Santa F'e and has done much other railroad building in the territory, and later in the state, gives his approval to the work the state is doing on the PhoeniX-Tem road. The camp, under the management of Ben Pierce, MT. Snyder, said, was the best road camp he ever saw; it resembles more the road camp of a private con struction company Mir. Pierce has done a perfect job of work there and the state, under his direction, is get ting dollar for dollar.
 MT. Snyder himself has supervised much state road building in Arizona and he said that the work going on in the Phoenix Tempe stretch puts to shame the operations he has witnessed elsewhere in the state.
 Speaking of the road bill which passed the senate on Saturday, MT Snyder said that it would be a matter of regret if it should finally go through in that shape. It does not make any difference what the law may be. how ever much the governor may be re-

REVISE MEXICAN CONCESSIONS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16. - Pastor Rouaix, the Mexican secretary of agri- culture, has ordered a revision of con sessions granted by former govern ments of Mexico, according to official information received here today. Great CT development of lands was given as the reason for the order. which in the understanding here, is directed largely against concessions granted to Ameri- can and British firms by former Presi- dent Diaz.
 The order recites that particularly in the state of Chiapas and tho territories of Lower California and Quintana. Roo. concessions of large areas granted to different foreigners and foreign com panies have been held for long time" to the "detriment of national interests.
 According to the information here. some concessions have been cancelled with view to giving the land to the people for agricultural purposes.

FORD STORE ROBBED
 FUR THE SIXTH TIME

One of the Ford stores, the one on Jefferson street, was robbed again yes terday, in broad daylight. between the hours of II a. m. and 3 D. m. A large amount of booty, consisting of jeWelry revolvers. watches and cartridges was carried away in a new suitcase, which the thieves also appropriated. Probably the full extent of the raid has not yet been ascertained, but the value of the loot will be not less than S100.
 MT. Ford suggests that the second hand stores and pawnshops of Phoenix be on the lookout for the plunder which will probably be offered them very soon.
 Adjacent to the store there is q Greek restaurant with a side door opening into a small space on which a window looks from the Ford store. This window was shattered so that there was easy ingress and egress, the latter through back door,
 This makes the sixth robbery of this store, notwithstanding it is under the supposed protection of a detective agency. So far nothing has been de- | tected but losses. and they were always l discovered by MT. Ford or his en- i ployes.

Why Mir. Ashurst Is Attacked

The American Federation of Labor has launched a vicious attack upon the project of Senator Ashurst for acquiring Lower California and a part Of Sonora 10 vicious because assais the motives of the sena- variety Of which are attributed to him. The real purpose it is declared is up strife in Mexico and pave the way for intervention It is also sur missed that the is acting in the interest of capitalists
 Some light Is thrown upon the assault when we learn that responsibility it is assumed by John Murray who is described as the English speaking secretary of the federation" who has been promi- nent in union labor circles in Arizona and New Mexico" Murray, by the way. was a conspicuous fig ure at the pan American labor conference at Laredo
 We suspect that tho opposition to the project of Mr. Ashurst is really opposition to Mir Ashurst him self which has developed since certain .utterance Of his in the senate in which. with characteristic vehcmcnce. he denounced the I. w. w and all their works. and demanded the suppression of them with 9 firm. unrelenting hand.
 We have understood that. in consequence of that speech. Mr. Ashurst though since his entrance into public life he has shown disposition to yield to all the demands of labor. has been regarded with some coidness in circles where he was formerly much ad hired; that there has been whispered generation of him in Brewery Gulch for instance: that these execra lions arc uttered, rather mutered by persons who "eHSc'NeS uehouhce ule l. w. w. in Pickwaickan cnse but resent denunciation of boshevsm by those who mean it We get fine instance of what we mean in the opposition observe to the Galbraith anti syndicalism bill. But for what Mr.. Ashurst said on Inc subject of the l. w. W. we do apprehend that my obstacle would be thrown in his way from the American side.
 The alleged motive Of a desire to find an excuse Tor intervention in Mexico is especially ridiculous the first place there possible cause for strife which would furnish us that excuse. 1T the Mexican government does not want to part with the tergtoy vsdezlFe. that the. end of theemAtter Thcrs is ,s -eas Los qrarrcl Ne have no T, ass Jo Leiisl.

CUT YOUR SHOE BILLS

Heretofore, soles never lasted me more than three months, because my work keeps me walking constantly on cement. But 1 have worn a pair of Neolin Soles now for more than three months, and judging from their present condition, they will last three times as long," So says C. L. Kerr. manager of an automobile organization in Geneva, N. Y.
 This extra wear given by Neolin Soles not only makes the shoes soled with them cheaper by the year than other shoes, but the price you pay in the first place is sometimes less than for shoes of only ordinary wear.
 You can get Neolin-soled shoes in many styles for every member of the family. Try these long-wearing. con- fortable and waterproof soles on your worn shoes too. All good repair shops have them. They are made by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.,, of Akron, Ohio, who also make Wingfoot Heels, guaranteed to outwear all other heels.
