Success of Company Is
Assured.
Mowry, Arizona. April 30. 1911!

MoWry, Arizona, April 80, 1919.
TO WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN:
am glad to give my recommended
ton to the properties and operations
of the Consolidated Arizona Copper
Mines Co., and particularly to the FL
Paso Mines. ! am of the opinion that
in the e. Paso the owners have a mine
that will develope into one of the larg-
est and most successful in this section
of the country. The equipment OF
this mine is not surpassed by any in
the district, and the rate at which de-
veIopment is being carried on speaks
much for the management of the COM
pany- My judgment is that the sue
cess of the Company is assured by the
development work which has exposed
an immense ore body. have mined
and managed properties in this dis
trict for 1e years.

BETSY LANE SHEPHERDS CON-
CERT
Tuesday Evening, Sept. 10th.

DEBORAH can count itself fortu-
nate in having the opportunity to
hear Betsy Lane Shepherd, the cele-
brated soprano, in a concert on
Tuesday night, Sept. 18th at the
Grand opera house.
Mrs. Shepherd is gifted with a
beautiful, clear voice and she promis-
es to sing some Of the greatest sue
cesses for DEBORAH folks. Heart
Songs" are one Of Betsy Lane Shep-
herds specialties. Just what heart
songs are is a question very hard to
define. Somebody says they are
songs which go straight to the
heart" not very lucid explana-
ton to be sure
However that may be, most any
song rendered in Betsy Lane Shep-
herds clear, high, tender voice will
go straight to your heart, and De-
corah music lovers will rejoice in
this unlocked for opportunity to
hear Mrs. Shepherd sing. The con.
cert will be an invitation affair.

PRICES MUST COME DOWN.
To Accomplish This Takes Combined
and United Efforts of People.

From the attitude of the railroad
shopmen and other railroad crafts
men, it appears that the country is
menaced with a general railroad tie
up unless the cost of living can be
reduced within 80 days. The people
do not relish threats of that kind.
But they have had their warning.
To accomplish the thing will take
not merely government prosecutions,
but the combined action and united
effort of the people.
Every Board of Trade, Business
Mems Association, and Labor Union
should join hands to bring pressur,
upon producers and distributors to
make the greatest possible price re-
ductions that they can. Products
that have not had much advance can
not be expected to make reductions
But there are very few iii this cate
CORY.
All this organized force should
work with the retailers TO induce
them to offer as reasonable price
levels as possible. But the most OF
the profiteering is with the middle
men and the manufact arers. The as
sociations of retail traders Should
bring the stiffest kind of pressure
to bear on the people of whom they
buy goods. They should make it
plain that the present heaping up of
prices must stop or the country is
headed straight for ruin.
Labor must cooperate cordially
and must be reasonable. When prices
advance, wages have to go up to pay
for THE raise. Then prices have to go
up to pay for the wages. Then wages
have to go up again to pay for the
prices. Then prices have to go up
again to pay for the wages. And so
on indefinitely, until finally paraly-
sis and disaster will be reached. The
entire force of the nation must in
sist that business be done on the
least possible margin of profit, and
that the workers be reasonable in
their demands.

ORGANIZATION WORK.
Autumn is the Signal for Resumption
of Active Work i'm All Organized
Life of the City

The return of the autumn is the
signal for the resumption of active
work in all the organized life of De-
corah. Churches, lodges, and other
societies, which had been inactive
through the warm weather, now take
up their former lines of work with
renewed energy.
1t is commonly remarked that
there are too many organizations in
a town like this. A man once said
there should be one organization
formed merely to kill off o lot of
otner organizations that take up peo-
pies time and accomplish nothing.
That fellow must be pretty sour
sort of pessimist. 1t would be hard
to find any society in DEBORAH that
has existed for any length of time
which has not accomplished excel
lent results. The mere fact that it has
existed shows that it fills a need
The individual by himself ac-
compilshes next to nothing. When he
associates himself with others, the
combined power Of the mass becomes
a force and gets things done.
The churches maintain moral and
spiritual aims, promote philanthro-
pies AMI tighten the dark corners OF
the earth. Social organizations bring
people together in pleasant friend
ship. Fraternal organizations re-
lieve the sick and lonely and sorrow
ing, and unite the working forces Of
a community. Civic organizations
plan for and accomplish the ends of
town progress.
Everyone who takes Office in one
Of these associations helps build up
the community and make It better
place to live in. They are worthy of
the most loyal support. Their mem
bers should feel under obligation to
attend the meetings, support all their
enterprises, and work on their COM
mittees. In SO doing they not merely
serve themselves, but the community
interest also.

Why q Hook?

Cascade, Ia.-One of our old
veterans has just revealed the cause
for his success as fisherman. He
never uses a hook The bait, or min
now, is tied onto the line and when
swallowed by the fish cannot be ex-
PEELED from the fish's gullet. He says
that the hook was invented as an
expedient and handy means for bait
ing up quickly, but often hampers
the fish in the act of swallowing. He
learned the trick, he says, from an
old Indian many years ago.

al causes.

He was man who stood high in the
community and was well thought of
by everybody.
He is survived by the bereaved wife
