f, latiOn in foreign demand for copper
and q s.e1dy increase in domestic
consumption is predicted Building
prospects continue 10 develop, but
costs are rising through the demand S
for higher wages in theS building
trades and the building material in
dustries.
'.The outlook for the Immediate fu-
ture is rood. but the advance 70 ht-Aer
levels Is not to be welcome or regard
longer distance to travel on the re-
turn and greater disorg1niz7 ton and
confusion in retracing It This IS 2
time when the common interest Of
the ror~munifv viii re served bv ~
triotism. forebearance. cooperation
and by social loyalty and patriotism.
There is need for loyalty and ratriot-
ism in the mana ger1ent OF community
affairs es well as in fighting for
elm enemy.
THE mode rn system is a verv COM
plex and hi~hly ORGANIZED affair i
has become so because as population
increases Il IS necessary that indus
trial conditions Re specialized and
made more productive. It takes on
the form OF a great cooperative or~an-
ization in which each person does
some one thing for the common vel

Disorder and Confusion.
The Organization is far from per
feet, but no one planned L AS Il Is
Like Topsy, 1t Just growed.' ana no
one has lie power TO make IL suddenly
different At this time there is dis
order and confusion which cannot be
Immediately remedied but everybody
can help BY doing his honest best in
his own work II each one viii do a
little better the whole organization
will do better. The command for
comforts win be greater and social
progress win be faster. On the other
hand, II everyone tries 10 do less and
make all the trouble he can this high
" organized social machine may1 be
made almost helpless There Is no
need for any group OF people 70 dem
onstrate that II has the power 10 cause
mischief. That Is conceded The
Twentieth Century Limited represents
the highest development in transpOr-
tation, but anybody can wreck it IL
Is possible for a small minority OF the
people to embarrass the entire body,
but they cannot benefit themselN es.
The time Is an extraordinary one in
history. The world is desperately IN
need Of production It Is no time for
radical innovation which increases
| the DISCRIMINATION and dimin shes the
output. Il is q time for emphasis on
the fundamental truth OF the social
order for the best results for every
class are to be had by policies which
Increase the total social product"
Predicts Record Prosperity.

Rio Grande Valley Bank and Trust
company. said;
In my opinion the next two years
viii bring the southwest country 10
a condition Of prosperity far in ad-
vance OF anything experienced in tie
past. Adequate rains have brought

the future of cattle raising seems as
sured. Foreign markets viii soon 9c
drawing on our surplus copper stocks.
and as the surplus diuinishes Arizona
production will increase. and soon we
win find all the mines working over
time
Conditions in our Mexican trade
territory are slowly hut steadily i'm
proving. and eventually great vol
ume OF trade will come to the south
west from that country.
Locally we have much IN prospect
The drainage OF the valley Is pro-
CROSSING rapidly. which means better
crops. better prices for land. and moro
flr-ners 70 develop the untitled por

outlook to my mind is the high line
