 KNEW THIS VALLEY
 WAS FORGING AHEAD
(BY OLD TIMER)

Old timers in Phoenix will remember when most of this famous valley was a desert The land was simply cry ing for a drink of water.
 Then along came the irrigation looms of a few years ago and with the completion of the Roosevelt dam, Maricopa county came into it's own. People have made money lana values nave increased in & great degree but in spite Of that values are lar from be- ing inflated.
 We hear almost every day of real fortunes being made in cotton. alfalfa and truck gardening-and the best thing about it is that it is true
 Along with this general prosperity # is only natural that there should spring up in the country d great mum Der of varied business interests. all giving employment to our people who spend their money here.
 One of tho best eauges 10 the buying power of city is it's newspapers Phoenix has two daily neWspa pers and inc volume if advertising in these UeWspapcrs speaks for the buying power of Maricopa county. You want to know where 10 go when you buy and you want 10 buy right when you to buy
 Realizing this fact and also realizing that heretofore a certain class of buy CTS have not been able to secure just the kind of product they needed. the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company decided to stock their Phoenix branch with a complete line of betting, hose and packing to take care of the people who were constantly calling on them 1o help them with their problems

MITCHELL FACTORY |S SWINGING INTO
 PEACE PRODUCTION

The success with which the new victory model made by the Mitchell Motors company, Inc, in Racine, Wis consin, has met all over the country has augmented the demand for this car to a point which would have taxed the vast Mitchell plant had it been under normal production from the time when the new model was announced at the Chicago show. Large contracts for the government trucks were under way in the plant at the time and have Just been completed thus releasing the entire resources of the Mitchell Motors company for passenger car work
 No one not actually engaged in the operation of a. large automobile fac tory, says Vice President F. C. .Rues- ehaw, can begin to have conception of the difficulties of swinging the plant over from passenger car to war truck production and-now that our con- tracts are completed-back to auto mobiles again
 When the first shift was made we were under the tremendous pressure of the war to hurry. Trucks were needed at once. Delay cost human lives. Everything was made secondary to speed in production
 Every individual here at the Mitchell factory sensed the terribly vital need for these trucks and re- sponded eagerly to the call of the country.
 The shift was made in record time considering the extremely high quality of the trucks produced
 The reconversion of the plant to passenger car production might have been made in a more leisurely manner but for the fact that owing to the wonderful reception with which the new victory model met, dealers de- mands for immediate delivery reached | staggering totals and exerted a pres sure upon us for speed almost as great as that characterizing the war truck | production. AS soon as this model was shown we began to receive letters, wires and telephone calls from every part of the United States pleading for | cars immediately.
 There was a strong temptation ' continues MT. Rueschaw, Ito take ad- vantage of this wonderful boom in business by rushing the production of the new victory model and cashing in on the immediate demand Such a | course would necessarily have meant the sacrifice of the quality standards | upon which we had determined to build | the new victory model and so while 1 we lost no time getting under way, we refused to save time by sacrificing quality.
 s'That this was the wise course IS proven by the factory and in spite of our inability to deliver all the cars oul dealers Wonter, the demand has been maintained and even increased so that now with the plant entirely back on ! passenger car production, we find market ready and eager to absorb !

 really begins long beforesthe materials arrive at our factory he says. We have our men in the remote corners Of the world, who buy up what rubber We do not raise on our far eastern plantations, and who insist that oEly the best grades of rubber be shipped overseas to our factory. And in the manufacture of our tire fabric in our own mills. from cotton which we raise on our big plantations in Arizona. we insist that our inspectors reject every piece of cloth that is not absolutely perfect. Our fabric making machinery is so delicately arranged that even in the seemingly unimportant operation of rolling twisted strands of cotton on big spools, the breaking of a single thread automatically stops the mach inery, permitting the operator to de- tect the difficulty at once.
 'aThe different stages of preparation through which tire building materials pass are all thoroughly watched. The washing of the rubber, the mixing of the chemical ingredients that must become a part of the rubber compound to insure perfect vulcanization, the working up of the rubber stock, the frictioning of the tire fabric, the con struction of the bead-all these are mercilessly inspected to insure the en- trance of none but perfect materials.
 Then as the tire is built up by the tire builder-either by machine or by hand-the inspector is standing by 70 see that each successive operation is perfectly accomplished. Even after the tires are taken, steaming hot, from the big vulcanizing vats, the wrappings are removed and the tires rigidly examined for any irnperfections which may have developed through vulcanization.
 And in this last inspection our men are merciless. Sometimes a tire comes up for it's last inspection with but a slight imperfection-usua in ap- pearance only-intensified by vulcani- zation. The chances are 99 to one that It will run out it's full mileage with proper care. No one will ever know. But we insist that it be rejected.
 By this system of rigid inspection, we insure the perpetuation of that uniform quality for which Goodyear tires have become known the world over. These 1,200 inspectors who stand between our tire builders and the great tire using public, perform a service that is immeasurably beneficial to both, for they help the tire maker t3 maintain high standard of efficiency and insure for the car owner the best tire that perfect materials and skilled workmanship can put together

This has happened so of ten and the need is so great that it is a pleasure for us to use this method of announcing to our many friends that their belting troubles can now be entirely eliminated. by getting in touch with the Phoenix branch of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company.

RELATION OF TRUE
VALUE OF PROPERTY
TO THE ASSESSMENT
OBJECT OF INQUIRY CONDUCTED
BY ATTORNEY JOHN SHELL
BY coFFEY.
FOR STATE BOARD EQUALIzERS
Witnesses Were Examined From the
First and Second Districts and 9th.
ers viii Be Called During After
nocn-To Continue Tomorrow.

Witnesses are today testifying be
fore Attorney John Shelby Coffey Of
the state board of tax equalizers, or
the value of Maury county property as
compared with the price at which 1t is
assessed. There were number oil
property owners from the First and
Second districts examined this morn
ing and this afternoon others from
other districts will be hoard. The ex
animation will continue through to-
morrow and probably longer.
The witnesses from the first dis
trict testified that lands in that dis
trict, taking the district as whole
were assessed at close to their actual
vale The average for the district is
around $1S an acre, according to the
present assessment while it was esti
mated that probably the lands of the
district were worth something like
five dollars an acre more than that
Witnesses gave it as their opinion
that not less than eighty-five of the
personal property Of the district was
assessed for taxation.
In the second district some of the
witnesses were inclined to the opin
ion that the lands were assessed out
of proportion to the assessment OF
lands all over the county. There is
quite divergence OF opinion in the
estimates that are placed on the land
values as compared with the assessed
value. Some witnesses are inclined
to fix their valuation Of lands on the
net income produced while others fix
the valuation at what the property will
sell for without regard to the income
that it will produce.
Whether or not the board will as
sess property at its actual value or
agree upon definite percentage of its
value and assess the land at such
value mas not yet been agreed upon.

LESS THAN
NORMAL IN 1918
FIGURES PUBLISHED ON BUILD.
ING MATERIAL BY LABOR
Pr DEPARTMENT.

r The United States department of la
Dor through the information and edu-
cation service, is issuing the results OF
study of prices during tn ewar and
REIMBURSEMENT period made by the di-
vision of public works and constrnc-
tion development. Discussing build
| ing materials prices, the report says:
There was this difference in the
conditions that determined prices on
steel and on basic building materials.
In the case of materials regarded as
not essential, such as most OF the
building materials other than steel,
whether the price was fixed by the
| government or in the open market
| this price was not sufficiently high to
keep all producers in the market, sim
| ply because the maximum production
was not required by the war time
needs of the country. In fact. con-
struction itself, as well as production
of various building materials, was spe-
officially curtailed by governmental or
der.
II Figures of the u S. Geological Sur
vey show that actual production of
common lime in 1918 was 20 per cent
less than in 1917. Portland cement
produced in 1918 was % per cent UNI
der the 1917 figure. Lumber was re-
duced 10 per cent in output. Common
brick in 1917 was 81 per cent under
1916. 1t has been estimated that in
1918 the production of common brick
was less than half the 1917 figure.
"As consequence the markets are
understocked rather than overstock-
ed in these commodities. If any one
of these conditions had been consider
ed as essential as steel. the govern
ment would have been obliged to fix
the prices on them at figures high
enough. to encourage every producer
in the country to run his plant at max
imum capacity with guarantee of a
reasonable profit on his output In
that case the prices on these coinmod-
tiles would have reached much high
er levels than they actually did.

MERCURY OFFICIALLY REGISTER
ED TWENTY.NlNE DEGREES
sAT AsHWooD.
FROST DOES BIG DAMAGE
Corn, Tender Vegetables and Probably
Some Of the Fruit Entirely Killed.
Ice TO &c Found in Abundance Es-
pecialIy In Low Places.

Breaking all former records for cold
SO late in April tho mercury at the
government voluntary station at Ash
wood this morning registered twenty
nine degrees, This is one degree
above the record made In 1910 on
April rs, one day earlier than today.
That was the record for cold on April
rs or later,
1t is feared that the corn that is up
has been badly damaged il not entire-
ly killed making replanting necessary.
However, no very large portion of the
corn crop is yet up. Whether or not
the potato crop has been killed is still
a debatable question. Nine years ago
with Just one degree more Of cold 1t
was entirely destroyed and the chanc-
es are that the crop has been killed
this year, although on high land this
may not be the case.
While fruit was killed in 1910 the
opinion is expressed this morning that
most Of it had escaped. The weather
has been so dry that more cold would
be required to damage the fruit than
is ordinarily the case. 1t is too early
to ascertain definitely the effects
That strawberry blooms have been
killed seems certain although the
young fruit on the vines may have es-
capped. Tomatoes and beans and other
tender vegetables that were not pro-
tected from the frost have been kill
ed Canteloupes in the Culleoka sec
ton that are up have almost certain
1y been killed.
A remarkable feature Of the freeze
today was that during Friday after
noon there was a decided change in
the temperature, the atmosphere be-
coming warmer and rain threatening
and majority Of the people went to
bed with the confident belief that this
morning would be warmer and there
would be no frost. In fact the official
weather forecast failed to intimate
that there would be even a slight frost,
to say nothing Of freeze.
There was an. abundance OF ice this
morning especially in the low places.
Several farmers report that vessels
containing water were frozen entirely
over the top to fair thickness.
