 ITO my mind the principal factor underlying this organization is the rendition of honorable assistance to honorably discharged service men, and the reason why l, a stranger in your midst, am willing to assume the re- responsibilities of this office, is because 1 feel every true son of America in this city and vicinity will be a SUD- porter of and lend aid to this worthy organization.

 In all GemobiliZation camps a system of placing soldiers who wish to take up shipward trades. or go to sea on Uncle Sans new merchant ships, is now in operation.
 In the last three months more than 3600O ambitious young men who have no dependents binding them to nome. and who are anxious to find their for tunes on the sea, have arranged to go into the merchant marine service soon after leaving the army said MT. Reyn- olds yesterday.
 The shipping board plans to make places for about 100000 new men in the merchant marine but they must all be American citizens, physically sound between IS and 9 inclusive. They will be trained for positions in the deck, en- gineer or steward departments of the great merchant fleet. picking the de- pertinent they prefer. and will be paid | the new man, even though he had never seen the ocean till he came to train ing ship. is ready for regular sea job at regular sea pay, which is now the l highest in the history of the merchant marine of any country.

 There will be matinee and night performances at the American theater today by the American Theater Musi- cal Revue in "School Days" the fast fun and music show which was first presented on Monday night to audi ences that applauded the new songs, lively batter, the bright and tuneful chorus numbers, the work of the prin- cipals and the comedy of the lively tabeloid musical comedy
 Bud Duncan and "Billy" Cochran lead the fun in School Days" it being a lively neck and neck race from start to finish. Bud" of the famous Ham and Bud" film comedies is a real comedian, although. his inches dc not measure much. His every word and action is the signal for a scream.
 As usual. Billy Cochran is a favorite with the audience in this new show this week. He sings some late and tuneful songs and has a prominent part in all the fun. These two comedians are capable of holding their own in the fastest company.
 Kek Scliilling is well cast in the new production which is the first made by Allen Curtis, the new producer of the American Theater Musical Keynes Others who assist in the success of the show are Bert Herbert, Harold J.

Good Vaudeville st Columbia

 As personifiers of jazz music, Pickett and Plunkett are in a class by them selves so far as the banjo is concerned. They rattle out good jazz music as If 1t were second nature with them and it is only a few seconds. before the entire audience is swaying and holding with the rythm of the tuneful airs.

WANTED Everyone in Phoenix to
 Read This
It Shows How a Phoenix Business Man Trying to Sell Good Wares Cheap Is Being Treated.
THE STATEMENT

Twas arrested tried and fined by Judge Thomas, $10 each in seven cases for not complying with the Plumbers Ordinance of the City of Phoenix James E.. Nelson was the Prosecuting Attornev, Building Inspector Mann and Plumbing In spector Reid were witnesses.
 I have been treated very unfair in these cases and will carry them to the Supreme Court to get Justice. I was fined $10 on one of these com plaints for a job that have never been on where a man had installed plumbing fixture that did not comply with the Ordinance. He asked me to get out a permit and put work so 1t would pass city inspection and before l could get to it. I was arrested and fined $10.
 l sent one of my employees to the Arizona Apart mentS to estimate what it would cost to vent all the heat range boilers in these apartments. To make sure that l would make no mistake. had the plumbing inspector go with me and vent one range boiler, to see if 1t complied with the city Ordinance, which IS very much tangled-up af- fair. Before the inspector could be called to in- spect this boiler he had issued a warrant for my arrest and was fined $10 for not complying with the city Ordinance. The other five complaints run on the same lines
 I do not mind being fined for anything that do wrong and wouldn't object to paying, if I wasn't made the goat for the rest of the plumbers About six months ago I took the building in- spector and showed him a number of jobs in this town, where they were not complying with the City Ordinance. This was just before the plumb ing Ordinance was changed the last time and my idea in doing this was to show where the con- sumer was paying for something that he wasn't gettin, and this was a brass flange which was to be put under closet bowl. This flange costs the plumber about $1.15 and about that much more in labor, so wherever possible left it out, and large number of the jobs in Phoenix were possible. A lot more inferior work was shown to the building inspector, but no one was ar rested or fined for any of this
 buy lot of plumbing goods, I sell them cheap, get my money and buy more. I have been doing this for fifteen years and have made a success of the business. have shipped in twelve carloads of bath tubs in Phoenix and have sold them at very close margin That probably hurts the 'Master Plumbers,' because they can't under stand how do it.
 By my efforts in fighting for the elimination of unnecessary material, in proposed plumbing or dnances, have saved thousands of dollars to property owners.

ARIZONA STATE LAND
 AT S6,375 PER ACRE

Arizona stato land, at $6.375 per acre.-some value. But a parcel of state land was actually sold at that rate a few days ago.
 Down at Six Points, on the corner of Grand avenue and Christy road, is a little wedge of land that the state owned until a few days ago, when it was sold at auction. The plot con- sisted of one firth of an acre, and J. J. Franklin (Jim) bit it in for sl275. Austin Starkweather, who has a small building on the land, was a bidder, as were numerous others, and George Macdonald. the sales agent of the land department, auctioneered so valorous- ly as to set an altogether new stand ard of value on state land.
 It had been assessed for the pur- pose of advertising the sale at S2S5, and therefore sold at more than five times its assessed value.
