The Water Users and Cement Making

s Though time has become essential the board of governors of the Water Users Association is war ranted in making an investigation of the cement proposition before calling election upon 1t. AS matter of form it should into it on it's own count although it has been given an investigation probably more searching than any the board of gov ernors can give it. It conducted by Mr. Duryea certainly as competent can be found in the United States and one wholly unmoved by either interest or prejudice It is proper for the board to check up MT. Duryeas findings. It will, of course require the services of engineer. one who has a practical knowledge of cement making and cement making machinery. And he should be engineer to whom could not attach suspicion of even re- mote interest in the welfare of the cement trust.
 There has somehow been given impression of hostility in some quarters of the association to the projected enterprise We trust that it has other basis than the caution which should preced em- barking upon enterprise and that it is not a hostility a We know that such hostility is not representative of the membership of the association which so far as we have been able to ascertain through a great variety of sources is overwhelmingly in favor of the project We think the action of the council on Monday was fairly representative of the sentiment of water
 We learn from the reported expression of mem- bers the board of governors that of the things necessary to be determined by the investigation that the operating cost of the plant would not be greater than the association afford" We think if only that remains to be determined there will be nothing in the way of taking the plant. Any operating cost can be afforded whatever 1t may be that produces profit The estimated cost of mak- ing cement here is $1S3 barrel; the present cost of cement is s4 barrel less 15 cents apiece for sacks returned so that if all the sacks returned in good condition, and half of them rule not, the present net cost would be $36o barrel If the association can manufacture cement at s1.S3 or g or aryasum materially less than s3.60 barrel it afford the necessary operating cost. If it cannot save something to it's membership in the price of cement the trouble will not be in the cement plant or in the conditions attending the manufacture of cement. but in the management of the association.
 The way has been pointed out by which in the local manufacture of cement more than million dol lars can be saved in the single item of county road building. And that is small sum in comparison with what can be saved to this community in the course of few years.

Money and Wealth

We are printing this morning the results of in- terviews with two prominent business men who have lately returned from extensive trips through the and have been in intimate and painful touch with conditions which travelling westward though we have already been washed with the first wave of them without understanding, without any idea of the great propulsive force behind it
 This has bearing the subject of the cost of living, the of what call high prices" question which bound increase in acuteness until there has been universal adjustment to the conditions.
 We are here yet accustomed to speak of higher prices" In the east, mention is made by business high prices" but of the essened value of the dollar Previous to such adjustment of which have spoken it makes really no difference to those whose incomes have not been adjusted to the condi tions Or the difference is only hair-spltting of definition. But technically the customers right; prices higher but the value of the dol lar has decreased as has the value of money all the world
 During the war, it is estimated that one-third of the worlds wealth vanished. It destroyed land or consumed by the millions of so- diers employed in the war. By wealth do not mean money for at the end of the more than four years of there more money in the world than there was on August l. 1914. There had also been removed not less than 1o,ooo0oo men from the field of production of wealth. More than 100000 had been killed and than 100000 wholly or partly incapacitated Such disturbance of the re- lation between wealth-the thing for which money stands, the thing which money buy and money itself must inevitably have resulted in what call higher prices"

 I was willing to make any sacrifice, to compromise any opinion in order to make my marriage all that had planned it should be when I became engaged to Bob.
 As the chief result of my many ad- ventures, I knew well that a married woman can find her only happiness in her home. 1 knew that my married happiness was worth the price of any compromise.

 As a recent resident of Casa Grande, it gives me great pleasure to acknow- ledge your kind interest in promoting the building of the San Carlos dam. Your editorial of this date as well as the one of the recent date, on canta- loupes, has caused much favorable talk among our local men and all sincerely trust that you may see your way clear to continue the united effort
 At least a half dozen men during the past season have expended about $100,- 900 in different agricultural ventrues in this valley. We plan to make a sue cess of our ventures. Gravity water insures this. San Carlos makes this assured. As you say, our success can mean but one thing for Maricopa county-prosperity for it as well as for us. We need your assistance and

The owner of the adorable little bungalow, formerly its proud and happy tenant, regarded it with artistic rather than personal interest.
 Pretty little shack" said Bob as he lifted himself into the roadster, my letter being safely deposited.
 l, it's former happy mistress, could sketch the interior of that shack to it's last detail I knew the exact number and the location of the buttons which fastened an obstinate corner of certain oriental carpet to the floor. Every married woman accumulates such facts, unimportant but unforget- table, about the little house which she first called her own.
 For me, the rooms of that bungalow were crowded with tender memories. Hoping against all hope I watched Bob's face for some shade of deeper interest in the place, while true to my most irritating habit of mind, I com mented on passing events.
 Bob and I, husband and wife, side by side in that auto. regarded the home of our honeymoon-as strangers to each other!
 B3b's grave mental sickness sepa- rated us. Our relation was not unlike that of unnumbered husbands and 1 wives few years after marriage. We were living symbols of a tragic situa- | ton in which most welded persons find themselves sooner or later.
 Hundreds of spouses live day after ] day, side by side-but as far apart as Bob and Land for poorer reasons or often for no reason at all except the nasty temper which they call pride.

"The Wages of Sin Is Death!"
Editor The Republican:

I don't agree with c. E. U. about Mary Thomas. I think she'd had about all the happiness in this life she de- served, or could have appreciated. And she'd taken the easiest way to get it.
 Toward the end she seemed to want to be really loved by a real man, but was she capable of approaching an honest, lifelong love? Before long the old craving for excitement would have come back. Tiny" Golf is probably better off to have escaped the marriage he was going to make. Mary had

shown herself tickle and cratic too often for me to believe in her being made over. Money and good times meant too much to her. Girls like me who have had to work hard for mighty few of them long for these things just as much, but I think we know how better than she did to hold fast to the few really worth while things in life.

 Every woman needs a strong back, and most women desire a back that is beautiful.
 I found the means to both beauty and strength for my own back by the way of the rowing machine in the gymnasium. If a woman can have the advantage of a boat, or the use of a canoe for paddling she is lucky, for she adds the advantage of fresh air and sunshine to the beautifying power of exercise.
 Not only is the back strength ened and beautified by rowing, but the leg muscles are rounded and

developed as well-and no woman that rows will be bothered with a flabby. pudgy abdomen. either. She will soon be able to dispense with a corset if she likes, and substitute the grace and strength of her own muscles for the artifi- cial support of bone and steel.
 If one practices rowing in a gymn or in a real boat either, she must be content to begin with five minutes at the oars each day gradually working up to ten min utes. No woman should ever TOW more than fifteen minutes a day, for longer periods become a strain rather than a benefit.
