SELLING IF ARMY
 .FOOD BY PHOENIX AWAITS REPORT
City Commission Orders h. vestigation of the Plan Trades Council. in Reso- lution Denounces Project

The work of investigating the feas- ibility of the purchase of army food supplies in quantity by the city and their sale in Phoenix at cost plus freight charges was begun yesterday by Fred J Elliott, Phoenix business man, acting on behalf of the city com mission and the city manager The in vestigation is in line with the city com missions tentative project for the purchase and sale of army foods.
 In his investigation Mir. Elliott will determine the practicability of the city's purchasing army food for sale here. The plan is closely modelled along projects other cities, including Kansas City, Cleveland, Fl lPaso and many others, have under way to rem edy the high cost of living. Under the plan the city buys carload. lots of army foods. direct, and then sells. the sup plies direct to the people of the city.
 Unexpected opposition to the plan for the purchase and sale of army food by the city developed in a resolution passed by the Phoenix Trades Coun- cil Tuesday. night. The council ap- parently takes the stand that the plan, notwithstanding it's use and popularity in other cities throughout the country, is
 
 in Phoenix and prevent the people from buying food through the post office-this in spite of the general i'm pression that army food will be sold after August IS, through the parcel post whether or. not the. city buys it.
 Trades Council Opposes
 The trades councils resolution fol- lows:
 Whereas, it appears from state ment in the. evening newspaper. issue of August 12, 1919.. that purchase of government stored food is contemplat- ed by the Phoenix city commission, ostensibly for the purpose of selling said goods to the people at cost plus freight charges.
 And whereas, an assumption can be reasonably indulged that the real in- tent. lying back of this move is not in interest of the people, but rather to cut off their supply of goods from reaching Phoenix by the parcel post, and so outlined by the war department
 Therefore be it resolved, by the Phoenix Trades Council, in regular ses sion assembled, that it is the sense of this body, the war department should be asked to act in. these premises as was originally intended and furnish these goods through the postal de- pertinent of the government if people desire purchase in that manner
 And be it further resolved. that a copy of this resolution be sent to Sec : retary of War Baker. in order that he may use his powers. through inter vening in what might prove. an attempt on the part of some persons to main

COUNTY TX RATE
 FIXED AT 73 CENTS
 18-CENT INCREASE

The taxes Of the inhabitants of this part of the world are going to be con siderably higher this year. The board of supervisors yesterday fixed the rate. at 73 cents, as against 55 cents last year, following the increase of the state tax rate by 2.t cents. The city rate is $1.06
 The increase in the county rate is made necessary to meet the interest on the s4000 900 bond issue and for the interest on the bonds of the special McDowell and Central avenue road districts, which indebtedness was as- sumed by the county under the new county road legislation.
 Other unusual expenses have been incurred since the last tax rate was fixed, such as the fight on the flu
 The final fixing up of the duplicate tax roll shows that the valuation of property in this. county for taxable purposes is $fQ0,e56, ,607. an increase of more than S2.000,O0O over the valu- ation of a year. ago.,

THE ART OF KISSING THE TOO-MUCH MARRIED KISS
Written and Posed for The Arizona Republican BY JUNE ELvlDGE
 World Film Star
World Film Star

The Married Kiss as I have termed it. for lack of better name. is the Kiss Of Diminishing Return!@
 I mean the perfunctory peck on the mouth that hubby gives wifey at the door just before he dashes for the S:15 to get to the office on time.
 The Married Kiss is kiss gone wrong. It is a libel and caricature of kiss. It is a sign that life has be- come humdrum-and it is warning. When kisses between husband and wife become part of the routine of the housekeeping, like washing the dishes, it is a sign that danger is ahead. The dimished efficiency of kisses at home may indicate an increaed efficiency of kisses somewhere else And that spells tragedy.
 Kisses, like everything else, are best when they are not too frequent. Cheap kisses are not especially desirable One may like strawberry shortcake. but if one were compelled to make his meals on that alone, he would soon tire of strawberry shortcake, and sigh for corned beef and cabbage.
 It is wise wife who knows that the Flaw of diminishing returns" operates with matrimony as well as it does with coal mines. It is a wise wife who knows when to go for a visit with mother" in her home town. and let hub by realize that food at restaurants and nights out with the boys can in their turn become very. very tiresome.
 The way to avoid the Married Kiss is to keep the home on the Sweet heart" basis. The way to remain on the sweetheart basis is to make oneself as sweet and as desirable as in the days when husband was tde lover who came awooing.
 The Married Kiss" in danger sig nal-don't try to run the Matrimonial Limited by that signal in the hope that it won't be wrecked. The chances are that it will be So bewarel

tain present high prices in Phoenix.
 Report is 10 Decide
 City Manager Thompson declared last night that the action of the trades council would have no effect on the city's plan, which will be put into operation if the investigation proves it feasible Attention was called to the fact that if the city buys army food in large quantities the cost of transpor- tation by freight will be considerably less in proportion than if small quan- titles were obtained by parcel post, the saving of course being placed on the side of the purchasers.
 "The food. if the plan is adopted, 7 said Mir Thompson, will be sold di- rect by the city to the people of the city. The prices wil be those paid by the city, plus the freight charges. The plan is considered only to provide food at low prices to the poor and persons financially we'll able to pay higher prices will be requested not to buy from the city"
 MT. Thompson called attention to the fact that under the war departments ruling. the city will not have to pay for the food when 1t is ordered. The system of purchase will consist of the orSer of the carload lots of food by the city from the zone agent at Fl Paso, and the payment of freight eharg- es by the city. Payment for the food will not be made until the food is sold by the city.
 Buy by Parcel Post Too
 While no detailed instructions on the point have been received here it is the general impression that the sale of food through the postoffice and parcel post system will not be affected by any purchase by the city. Assistant Postmaster Lee R. Callahan gave his personal opinion to this effect, as did other officials. The supposition is based on experience in other cities where food was bought and sold direct by the city, and also through the post office
 Definite plans on the purchase and sale by the city of the army food SUD- plies depend on the report of Mr. Elliott's investigation. MT Elliott will place his report before the commission in the course of the next week, and the city commission will then take action for or against the plan.

LAND COMMISSION n
 LEVY FUR S50,000

At a meeting of the state land com mission it was decided not to levy for fI00,000 authorized by the last legis- lature to be used with an equal amount furnished by the federal government for the purpose of surveying potential irrigated lands. The reason for not levying for the entire amount being that congress did not provide it's share of the money.
 It was decided though. to levy for $50,000 on the ground that no more than that amount can be spent during the remainder of the year. and it is possible that congress may take action In the case before the end of it's pres- snt session.
 The commission also decided to set he first and third Tuesdays of each. aonth as its regular meeting time.
 plan has been proposed by the IT. S- geological survey to appropriate fle,e00 to be used joinly with funds of the state for the survey of possible Irrigated lands. This proposition was taken under consideration by the com mission.

 The offering is one that depicts the secret methods of a great government in ferreting out problems that threaten the very existence of that nation. It is a powerful drama of the secret ser vice with a beautiful love romance in terwoven.
 The picture is unique in that there is no star performer featured It is the first super feature in months that is being offered to the public entirely on the merits of the story rather than the drawing power of. the star.
 Incidentally, the day of the star is rapidly. passing for all too frequently. a well known screen artist is put before the public in vehicle that is nowise suited to his or. her talents The result is that producers are gradually coming to the point, where they are putting forth the stories as the drawing at traction ....s

The Question Box" of the Intelligence De- partment has been fairly we'll loaded with communications brought forth by Dairy Talks" No. 4 and No. T. relative to the short age Gin comparison with increased popula- tion) of dairy cattle in the United States and the shortage of dairy products which must ensue by such condition, and to our urging dairymen to eliminate the unproductive cow from the herd.
 We have NOT urged that any REAL dairy COW be eliminated We have merely pointed out that cattle bred for beef are not dairy cattle, and should not be so considered and utilized as such. As we have also pointed out, DAIRY COWS MUST BE BRED. Just "any old COW" IS NOT milk cow, and milk cow is not good investment unless she produces milk with satisfactory percentage of butter fat. This is only determined by thor ough tests with Babcock tester.
 In view of market conditions of dairy prod- ucts all over the world, prices will continue to be most satisfactory from the producers point of view for very long time, and as matter of cold fact the occupation of dairying will never again be the haphazard business of former years.
 The dairyman and prospective dairyman will therefore plan ahead, laying the founda- ton of high milk test herd by breeding only into recognized milk strains, and, as the herd increases, building from "both sides of the family for butter fat production.
 leave the state. Buyers from the Imperial 1c C,I.f that good dairy cows are cheaper in Arizona than in other places but none should be sold outside the state.
 Farmers who are raising forage crops should investigate thoroughly the advisability of feeding their crops on the premises and taking their income from the sale of butter fat rather than from the fluctuating prices offered for their crops. Other men buy their crops, turn it into butter fat, and make a profit. Why should not the farmer, who raises the forage crops, make both profits? It can be done swith comparatively small investment in COWS.
 The long growing season in Arizona is pc cuIiarly adapted to economical dairying, be- cause of the fact that forage crop can be raised on land that has already produced one income-paying crop for the year.
 A wonderful opportunity exists for the di- versified farmer to double his income by dairy ing. This department is operated for the sole purpose of assisting the dairy interests of Ari- zona. Our experts are at the service of all dairymen and prospective dairymen. Call, write or phone.
