A SURE RECKONING COMING

With all due consideration to those who are attempting to quell the rising tide of indignation over the high cost of living, the United States government is facing most serious problem and it does not only affect the laboring class but all intermediate classes. The deep unrest at the atrocities being perpetrated in the way of costs has permeated every walk of life, and it is not the "wild-eyed" popuace making the most stren- uous objections to existing conditions.
 Many explanations are being made which do not explain. It is true that the cost of labor is great deal higher than ever before; it is true that there must naturally be higher cost for materials. But, talk as they may, these costs are not sufficient to make the overwhelming diff ference while the prices of raw materials and produce are still held down.
 Passing the buck" may stay the inevitable hand of the whole people for while but revo- lutiOn must come, even if it crumbles the whole populace together. Whether the United States agrees to protect Europe or not is only a small matter as compared with the present critical con- dition in our own country. We always have had and always will have the "wild-eyed calamity howlers," but the present critical condition de- mands that the shaking loose of the "profteers" who have absorbed the late government war pro- gram of doings things regardless of costs and consequences.
 We need big, brainy men-men who can be trusted; men who will forget politics and profits; men who have the courage and ability to force things back to a condition where there is some relation between supply and demand.
 If the big profiteers of today could only be given glimpse of the inside workings of the average, good, intelligent head, they would real ize very quickly that they have gone the very extreme limit and it would horrify them into knowing their silly propaganda stunts are not having very good effect = rather the reverse. Facts are facts, and a broken leg may be called fractured limb; but it will not relieve or carnou- fage the pain.
 All the selfish profteer has gained will not avail him much when the great general average of people get all they can stand and stop to take that element of society apart and look at their works.

The people of the Florence-Casa Grande sec tion are getting together with much enthusiasm over the building of the San Carlos dam It is claimed that this dam will produce another Salt River Valley, prevent possible floods and bring into productiveness thousands of acres of waste land. While it is good ways from Flagstaff the people here are interested in seeing the big irrigation scheme go through, for it means much to every section of the state. It is an indication that the people of the state do not intend to sit supinely by and see great opportunities wasted We hope the same spirit of progress will strike this section of the country where development along different lines is badly needed

Build your own home. good many men curl up their noses when they hear this advice, but just look around you and see how many men have built their own homes and own them Many of them had less to start with than you had but they took the responsibility and made good along The man who is willing to assume responsibility and work for success is nearly always success, and can get help from those who have made sue cess themselves. The man who hasn't enough stamina to try for success is not worth helping and people take him at his own valuation.

The Plumb plan of handling the railroads would be stunning stunt in high finance. In brief the plan is to have the four brotherhoods of railroad men take charge after the govern ment has put up bonds to pay for taking the railroads over; the railroad men would fix their own salaries and get half the net profits besides the public could have the other half, if there was any. This plan would leave Old Man Public holding the sack, as usual

After three months trial of Henery Ford to ascertain whether he had been libeled by the Chicago Tribune, the jury yawned and agreed that they ought to allow him street-car fare, so assessed damages to his character at six cents From the testimony introduced most people who read parts of it really believed the fivver founder was being tried on an insanity charge. Anyhow, Henery is believer in "quick sales and small returns" and he ought to be. half pleased.

We have noticed that "the proper method of kissing has been taking up considerable space in exchanges lately. From the very fasc;- mating cut of the proper "clutch and smack" one is constrained to. believe that he should take course in jiu-jitsu before going into action. We are glad that this has been taken up for deep study. The old Los Angeles method of slapping a lady to attract her attention then grabbing her by the back hair, sticking your nose into her left eye and smacking her under the right ear is not considered real delicatessen any more

Swift & Co. ask in their advertising propa- ganda, which is intended to prove that the pres ent high prices of meats and foodstuffs con- trolled by the "big five" packers is caused by some peculiar disturbance of the solar system; ; "Is It Possible to Legislate Brains ?" The an- swer is easy: No! But it is possible for the people to get together and legisate little de- cency. into the vacuum where there should be heart, in the vast inherited wealth controlled by heirs who are using it to gather up the rest of the wealth of the people, compelling them to take it or starve." Another thing, the great brains used by these people are usually purchased. They also plead: Let us send you Swift Dollar" Nix.

BETTER BUY THAT COAL

Confederation of the claims of
local coal dealers that it would be well
for consumers to lay in their next
winter supplies now, is found in re-
cent issue of the Coal Age, which
says:
Consumers of coal have short
memory. Every possible effort must
be made right now to point out the
dangers that will arise from permit
ting coal stocks to be depleted. The
mild winter has caused a saving in
coal consumption of about 100000
TONS The slowing down in industries
and the lessened demands on trans
poration are responsible for a further
decrease in coal consumption of ap-
proximately 6 200, 900 tons per month.
The production of coal during Janu-
ary, compared with October, the last
month of the war, showed a falling
off Of about 16,000,000 tons. The
February decrease will be still great
er. 1t is evident, therefore, that the
falling off in output is considerably
greater than the decrease in 'consump-
ton. If this continues, serious
situation will arise. Every effort
should be made to get consumers to
buy coal in moderation right now.
If this is not done, prices are GER
tain TO 80 higher. The public has
been misinfofmed. It has been told
that if purchases were delayed, fuel
prices would come down. Instead
thSSe. has. been an increase in the
selling price of the higher grade

final NUMBER OF
LECTURE COURSE

The final number of the M. E. lee
tue course was a great success. On
account Of, Miss Hardin"s illness, her
physician would not let her participate
so the management arranged another
excellent program for the occasion.
The violinists, Miss Terrill. Miss Schaf-
hausen, and Miss Walker Mckinney. all
played beautifully and their music was
greatly appreciated. The readers were
Mr.. Wood, Miss Norris, Miss. Colyer,
Miss Hieronymous and Mr.. Watkins.
They all gave excellent productions
and pleased their hearers. The vocal
soloists were Miss Wilder, Miss Har-
low, and both sang beautifully and ev-
eryone was highly pleased. Mr.. Kill
lion. Mr.. Dabney, and Mr.. Reynolds,
played selections on the banjo and
mandolin. and pleased the audience very
much, especially the duet by Mr.. Dab
ney and Mr.. Reynolds. Throughout the
performance the audience seemed well
pleased.
The lecture, course as whole was
well patronized and seemed to give ex-
cellent satisfaction. We reached the
goal we started out to accomplish and
would suggest that the churches in
Richmond combine in lecture course
next year in which each church. fur
nishes two numbers.

warned German officials that they will
