James S. Magruder, a well
known farmer living northeast
of town, was painfully injured
in serious automobile accident
which occurred near the home OF
Jas Bixby, northeast Of town
about eight o'clock Wednesday
evening.
MIR. Magruder, in company
with his two sisters, and Bryan
Masters. a young man employed
on his farm, was coming to town
to attend the high school play.
He drove a new Ford car, pur-
chased about two or three weeks
ago. Hebert Phipps, also driving
a Ford car, had driven out to the
farm of T. P. Knight. to bring
Miss Margaret Knight in for the
play, and was returning to town.
When near the house on the farm
known as the Mrs. Rose Turner
place, Hebert drove up behind
the car driven by Mr. Magruder.
Hebert says he sounded his horn
when near the top of the Turner
hill, and continued to souud it as
they came down the hill. When
near the foot of the hill, Ecbert
started to drive around the
Magruder car. and on the Level
stretch from the hill down to a
steel bridge, the two cars were
side by side.
When very near the bridge,
aebert passed the Magruder car,
and Mr.. Magruder, probaly fear
ing a collision, evidently steered
his car a little too far to the right
The car struck the steel support
on the north side of the bridge,
and rolled over into the deep
ditch at the side. Mr.. Magruder
was caught in such a manner
that his right leg was badly
broken just above the ankle, the
bones being badly shattered in
several different places, He was
brought to town and taken to
the Woodland hospital at Mober-
ly, where he is now under treat
ment. Neither of the young
ladies nor Mr.. Masters was
seriously hurt, althouth all were
shaken up and scratched and
bruised.
Mr.. Magruders car was badly
wrecked, and remained in the
till Thurspay morning. It was re-
borted tdat the cal driven by He
bert Phipps, which is owned by
A. A. Kennedy, ran into the
Magruder car, but no trace Of q
collision could be found. as the
Kennedy car was not scratched
Or damagedin any way

AT the Annual Bureau Meeting
Of two days, the afternoons are
popular programs for every
body. Music of big order, and
readings and talks will be
the order.
H. w. Danforth, President Of
the Federal Land Bank will have
the forenoon of the 18th and all
who are interested should hear
him.
The forenoon of the l4th will
be devoted to laying out and
constructing a magnum terrace
The afternoon at l:9O DR.. H.
J. Waters will talk to US. Other
entainment will be mixed in-the
afternoon program.
A short business session for
the election of officers, and last
on the program will be a DEM
onstraticn in grading wool.
Every man in the country who
lives on hill land should see the
terrace built, and every man in
the county should attend the
wool grading demonstration.
Many other features will be on
the program that at this
time we are not aple
to complete.
Exhibit For The State Fair
Charlton County should surely
make a showing at the State
Fair. 1t is up to us If we do.
We have as fine blue grass as
grows, and clovers, and alfalfa
equal to any. and oats, wheat.
rye, barley, corn. and at leasta
dozen other crops that would do
a lot to let the country know
more about this good county.
If the show is put on. those
who have fine products must
help. Now is the time to gath
er the blue grass, and the first
cutting Of alfalfa.
Cut stems at the surface OF
the ground, selecting the longest
stems, then place them in the
dark to cure, that in drying the
color does not fade.
Bundles of grasses and grains
should be at least four inches in
diameter. This diameter of the
grains should be. just below the
heads.
If farmers will help US and
bring the samples to the office or
BIT us know that you have them
I've will do the rest, and do our
best to put on a creditable exhib-
it.
We can also put on exhibits
Of fruits and grains, and we
would like to make a wool exhib-
it, and for this we will. need
small samples from as many
kinds of sheep as we can secure.
We will ask also that samples Of
wool be sent US for this purpose.
The invitation is extended tc
every person in the county tc
lend us your help to show uE

with the distribution of goods by the railways and the shipping of the coun- try. We are all involved in the dis tressing results of the high. cost of living and we must unite, not divide, to correct it. There are many things that ought to be corrected in the re- lations between capital and labor, in respect of wages and conditions of labor and other things even more far reaching, and I, for one, am ready to go into conference about these matters with any group of my fellow country men who know what they are talking about and are willing to remedy exist ing conditions by frank counsel rather than by violent contest. No remedy is possible while men are in a temper, and there can be no settlement which does not have as it's motive and stan- dard the general interest. Threats and undue insistence upon the interest of a single class make settlement i'm
 possible. l believe as 1 have hitherto had occasion to say to the congress, that the industry and life of our peo- pie and of the world will suffer ire parable damage if employees and work men are to go on in a perpetual contest, as antagonists. They must, on one plane or another, be effectively asso- ciated. Have we not steadiness and possession and business sense enough to work out that result? Un- doubtedly. we have; and we shall work
 it out. In the mentime-now and in the days of readjustment and recupera-
 tion that are ahead of us-let us re-
 sort more and more to frank and inti-
 mate counsel and make ourselves a
 great and triumphant nation, by mak-
 ing ourselves a united force in the life
 of the world. It will not then have
 looked to us for leadership in vain.

that it was clearly within the constitu- tional power of the congress to make similar permanent provisions and regulations with regard to all goods destined for interstate commerce and to exclude from them interstate ship ment if the requirements of the law are not complied with. Some such regulation is imperatively necessary. The abuses that have grown up in the manipulation of prices by the with holding of foodstuffs and other neces- saries of life cannot otherwise be ef- fectively prevented. There can be no doubt of either the necessity or the le- gitimacy of such measures. May I not call attention to the fact, also, that, although the present act prohibits profiteering, the prohibition is accom- panied by no penalty. It is clearly in the public interest that penalty should be provided which will be per suasive.
 Regulate Storage
 To the same end, 1 earnestly recom mend, in the second place, that the congress pass a law regulating cold storage, as it is regulated. for example, by the laws of the state of New Jersey, which limit the time during which goods may be kept in storage, prescribe the method of disposing of them if kept beyond the permitted period, and re- quire that goods released from storage shall in all cases bear the date of their receipt. It would materially add to the serviceability of the law, for the pur- pose we now have in view, if it were also prescribed that all goods released from storage for interstate shipment should have plainly marked upon each package the selling or marget price at which they went into storage. By this means the purchaser would always be able to learn what profits stood be- tween him and the producer or the wholesale dealer.
 It would serve As useful example to the other communities of this coun- try, as well as greatly relieve local distress, if the congress were to regu- late all such matters very fully for the district of Columbia, where it's l legislative authority is without limit
 Mark Price on Goods
 I would also recommend that it be required that all goods destined for interstate commerce should in every case where their form or package makes it possible be plainly marked with the price at which they left the hands of the producer. Such a re- 1 quiremsnt would bear. a close analogy to certain provisions of the pure food act, by which it. is required that cer- | tain detailed information be given or

TEXT OF ADDRESS

 By way of immediate relief, surplus stocks of both food and clothing in the hands of the government will be sold and of course sold at prices at which there is not profit And by way of a more permanent correction of prices, surplus stocks in private hands will be drawn out of storage and put upon the market. Fortunately, under the terms of the food control act, the hoarding of foodstuffs can be checked and pre- vented and they will be with the great est energy. Foodstuffs can be drawn out of storage and sold by legal action which the department of justice will institute wherever necessary; but so soon as the situation is systematically dealt with it is not likely that the courts will often have to be resorted to. Much of the accommodating of stocks has no doubt been due to the sort of speculation which always results from uncertainty. They (dealers) will now see the disadvantage, as well as the danger of, holding off from the new process of distribution. :. Disregarding the surplus stocks in the hands of the government, t-.ere was greater supply of foodstuffs in this county JuIe 1 of this year than at the same date last year. In the com bined total of d number of the most important foods in dry and cold stor- age, the excess is quite 19 per cent. !.
 Too Many Combines
 There is reason to believe that the prices of leather. of coal, of lumber and of textiles have been materially af- feeted by forms of concert and co-op- eration among the producers and marketers of these and o.her univer- sally necessary commodities which it will be possible to redress. .
 Present Law Inadequate
 There are many other ways. Exist ing law is inadequate. There are many perfectly legitimate methods by which the government can exercise restraint and guidance.
 i Let me urge. in the first place, that i the present food control act should be i extended both as to the period of time | during which it shall remain in opera i ton and as to the commodities tc which it shall apply. It's provisions against hoarding should be made tc apply not only to food, but also tc feedstuffs, to fuel. to clothing, and tc many other commodities which are in disputably necessaries of life. As il stands now, it is limited in operation to the period of the war and becomes imperative upon the formal procla- matiop of peace. But l should judge

 Local civic associations take the view that since Tucson is trying to divert the through road across the state from the route through Casa Grande and Florence and Phoenix and to Yuma to a route from Tucson to Yuma via Ajo, and is apparently not intrested in that district, that more than ever, un- der these circumstances, it is the duty of Phoenix and the Salt River valley to stand shoulder to shoulder with the residents of that district in their effort to secure the San Carlos reservoir.

PHOENIX TO ASSIST FLORENCE TO OBTAIN
 IRRIGATION PROJECT

There is great local interest apparent in the effort being made by the resi- dents of the Florence Casa Grande district to secure immediate and favor able action in the matter of the San Carlos dam and reservoir for the more definite reclamation of that district, according to Harry Welch, secretary of the Phoenix chamber of commerce.
 Every effort will be put forth to as- sist the proponents of this project in every possible way. The remarkable success of the Salt River valley project has demonstrated beyond any doubt the value to state and nation of these projects in Arizona. The lands proposed to be brought under the San Carlos project are contiguous to those under the Roosevelt dam, and the building of this project would create a continuous oasis from Buckeye to high up on the Gila river
 The chamber of commerce has ap- pointed a committee to attend the big business and get together meeting to be held in Florence next Tuesday The
