in most beautiful manner. The three
piano ensemble numbers were fine
the girls keeping perfect time.

as they have never sung before. The
little japanese Fantasy sung by little
Geraldine HUE, Gervaise Hobby,
Ailene Gleaton, Sadie Cohens, Mil
bred Shepherd, Margaret Graham,
Eula Westbrook, Harriette Mann.
Sarah Mae Bridges, Kathleen Ora
ham and Vada Hardin was so aztec
tive that there were compelled to go
back and sing it again. Also Jack
Conner was encored
The stage never looked prettier
than it did with it's simple decora-
ton roses and ferns. In the last song
with the pupils Of the Conner School
singing in unison, they presented a
picture that will long be remember
ed by the ones present.

The Conner School of Music. We pre-
dict for them a wonderful future.

SOLDIERS, CITIZENS, PREPARE ID MAKE AN
 INDUSTRIAL SURVEY

A joint committee composed of the employment committee of the Soldiers and Sailors club and the citizens con- mittee. has devised and is putting into operation. d systematized industrial survey of the city of Phoenix that will put the employment question of dis charged soldiers, sailors and marines upon a scientific basis.
 Within the next week this survey will be completed. Each merchant and employer will be called upon by a duly accredited representative who will sub init to him a questionnaire. It is the object of this work to eliminate hap hazard methods and to place before the employment organization actual facts and figures that will make possible the placing of men in positions for which they are duly fitted and equal to those which they forfeited to the call of pa- triotism and duty.
 The form of questionnaire has been adopted and the cooperation of all persons employing men is asked. that this may be facilitated. This work does not alone contemplate the placing Of men, but extends to the service of securing the right man for the right place The data that is to be secured is not alone valuable for the purpose of assisting in the employment of sol diers and sailors. but will form a com prehensive basis for furnishing valu- able statistics upon our local resources.
 It is felt that the problem of unem- ployment that has always been seri- ous issue facing a nation after a great war can be eliminated in this com munity by the systematic organization that IS being undertaken in Phoenix. rms plan has been endorsed by the state and 1t is proposed to extend it to a statewide organization.

SEATTLE SHEPPARD
 STRIKE NEAR END

SEATTLE, Wash, Feb. 2S.-The end of the strike of metal trades workers from northwest shipyards was held TO have been brought measurably nearer today, perhaps to within ten days, by the granting of authority for holding of a conference regarding wage sched- ules to become effective April l, when the Macy award" becomes inopera- tive. The authority was contained in a telegram from pr. l.. C. Marshall as- sistant director on industrial relations to Charles Piez, director general of the fleet corporation to union labor.
 The strikers announced several days ago they would vote on returning to work if a conference to consider wages on the Pacific coast were promised them.
 Approximately 25,000 workers are involved in the strikes, which were called in an effort 10 obtain wages higher than those granted by the Macy award.

BUY NOW A|V KEEP TRADE TO NORMAL
 IS ADVICE GIVE N

Buy only what you need, but buy it now" is the slogan being placed before the people of the country by the Ma tional Council of Defense at the re- quests of Secretary Redfield for the department of commerce.
 The secretary points out that com merce and industry rest upon indi- vidual purchases, and that in order to restore the business of the country to the pre-war basis and furnish employ ment for the returning soldier, the people of the country must buy what they need now. but without waste.
 Prices are to a certain extent declin- ing, and many hesitate to buy on a fall ing market but a cessation of buying means closing down of more industries, and the consequent addition of many to the ranks of the unemployed. This situation lends itself to the evil work of the enemies of society, the bolshe- vists and the l. W. W. disaster comes by hunger, hunger from unemploy- ment. and unemployment is the result of less than normal buying by the in dividual.
 Secretary Redfield says:
 "Our commerce rests after all upon the personal purchases of individuals If all were to stop buying for their personal needs, there would be no commerce, no industry. So far as all have stopped buying. industry has slackened. So far, therefore, as all can resume buying for their actual needs industry must move again. It is what is called good business, perhaps good economics. to delay buying till the market hts reached the bottom, but more is 9. stake than the peace of the country, the saving of men from unem- ployment and it's social consequences
 to them and to the land. Yet we must
 not waste. We must still save. Taxes are coming. There will soon be another l loan and We must not undo the habits of thrift that have been formed. Be tween the extreme lies a possible course of helpful action which is this Buy only what you need but buy il
 now. The men and women who dc 1 this contribute periodically to the country's need just as they did wher
 they saved at their tables to feed oul | friends abroad last year, just as they | did when they bought war saving! | stamps or liberty loans. If each of u: would buy what he needs at once, bu | buy no more than he needs, the spring:
 of action would be tapped and a req | danger aVerted.'

CITE MORE CASES 0F INJUSTICE IN
 ARMY SENTENCES

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-Three ad- ditional cases of soldiers in this coun- try sentenced to be shot by courts mar tial for military offenses and whose sentences were either remitted or com muted by President Wilson were made public today by the war department
 Private Nicholas bocasIe. of the fourth training battalion, replacement group, medical department. Camp Greenleaf, Georgia, was convicted on charges of having refused to put on the prescribed military uniform and two thirds of the members of the, court concurred in the death sentence. Ma jor General Sharpe, commanding the southeastern department, recommended that sentence be commuted to dishon- orable discharge and 25 years impris- onment. The president reduced the prison term to l5 years
 Privates Benjamin Breger and Ho- man D. Kaplan. of the quartermaster corps, Camp Funston, Kansas, were charged with refusing to put on the uniform and also with having refused to do non -combatant military service of any kind. In each case the neces- sary two thirds of the members of the court concurred in the death sentence.
 In forwarding these cases, Major i General Leonard Wood, commanding | at Camp Funston, recommended that the sentences be commuted to dishon- orable discharge from the service, for | feiture of all pay and allowances. due or to become due, and confinement at 1 hard labor for 25 years. The president l disapproved both findings and sent ences and ordered the soldiers re- | leased from confinement and restored ! to duty.
 Secretary Bakers attention was | called today to the fact that on very l similar charges between the case of | Private Locasle and the cases of Pri- yates Breger and Kaplan, the final ac- 1 tion was to restore the two Funston men to duty while Locasle was given
 a 15-year prison term and dishonor- able discharge on his realease from
 confinement
 | The secretary had no recollections
 of the details of the cases. Each had
 been reviewed by the judge advocate ! generals office, he said, on it's merits 1 and the action undoubtedly was in ac- | cord with the views of the judge advo-
 cate general and the clemency board
 in the judge advocate generals office | headed by Brigadier General Ansell | The case of DOcasle, he added probably
 was in that group of cases which
 needed still further attention by the
 reviewing authorities and that it was
 probable the 15-year sentence ulti-
 mately would be greatly reduced. | -o-

CHARGE REDFlELD KEPT FACTS

WASHINGTON, Feb. Exchanges that Secretary Redfield purchased in December, 1917, a tract of land in Washington for the bureau of stand ards at a price greatly in advance of it's real value and later ''misinformed" congress in regard to the facts, were made in a report of the house District of Columbia committee introduced to- night by Chairman Johnson.
 The committee in it's report denied statements in a letter sent to congress last June by MT. Redfield that the land had not been purchased until every effort had been made by the sec retary and subordinates to ascertain it's real value' The report also said $1.50O an acre was paid for the land though the owner had offered to sell 1t a short time before for s3500 an acre. The loss to the government in the transaction amounted to more than $32,o0o, the committee stated.
