ARIZONA WHOLESALE GROCERS MEET HERE
 ID DISCUSS TRADE

The Arizona Wholesale Grocers' as sociation held its first meeting of many months yesterday at the Phoenix chamber of commerce. Owing to the fact that the last annual meeting of the association had not been held last and that the members of the association had not met fer so long a time, the session took the form of gct-together meeting, rather than regular business meeting. The meeting yesterday, which lasted all day, will be followed by another in the near fu- ture. it was said last night.
 Eleven Representatives of the state largest wholesale grocery houses at tended the meeting. The business was discussed from all angle, including tho effect the readjustment period now be- ginning would have on it. Guarding against losses during the rcconsuuc- ton period and marketing goods in the most efficient and safe manner were some of the principal problems taken up by the delegates.
 It was recognized by the association members that prices of groceries and similar goods would decline. follow ing the ending of the war, and the dis cussion in this regard was as to regulations which might De made 10 insure a steady decline that may be met by all, instead Of a sudden drop in the market with is consequent i'll effects. With the cessation of the food administration's activities, the Grow CTS association will resume it's opera tons in developing the trade in this state.

Armenia Looks TO America For Her
Salvation.

This is the appeal made to the
people of America in cablegram
made public by the State Depart
ment and which also says: 1.-TWO
thousand persons at Urumia abso-
lutely destitute; 10000 destitute at
Tabriz; Starvation is increasing
daily; additional relief workers inn
peratively needed Immediately. Need
100000 per month. Tif1is COM
mittee reports imperative need for
food and funds from outside"
This is the pitiful message for
help received in this country at a
time when the American people are
enjoying to the fullest the Christmas
and New Years season. message
which the Maryland Committee of
the American Committee for Relief
in the Near East says will most cer-
tainly be needed.
The work of perfecting its or
ganization in this state has made
rapid progress, men and women of
all denominations volunteering fol
the campaign which opens this
month. The work is in charge ol
John W. Mace, whose Office is in the
Title Building, Baltimore. Associ-
ated with Mr.. Mace are some of the
most prominent in the state.
Some idea of the famine and des-
titution raging in the East can be
gained from the fact that members
Of the relief organization now in
that part of the world say they have
seen aged grannies and children
hunting through garbage pals for
pitiful morsels of food; girls ana
women have been seen picking over
the dust beneath the feed nose bags
Of army mules and horses. greedily
throwing into their mouths the kerr.
nels Of oats and barley retrieved
from the dirt; thin, trembling little
ones are daily seen waiting for hours
at the soup kitchen of the Moslem
quarter of Jerusalem for the thin
salt-and-water soup doled out;
babies by the thousands starve to
death because their mothers have
no milk for them.
1t is to relieve this extreme suffer
ing that the national campaign to
raise $40, 100000 is to be conducted.

STATE ROAD IMPROVEMENT.
Auto Licenses win yield s1,5Oo.OOO
In 1919.

Notwithstanding the interference
with public improvements during
the past year, the State Roads Com
mission succeeded in linking up
most of the gaps in the system and
in repairing those stretches that
were in bad shape. With the ex-
ception Of Bacon Hill above North
East, the entire system is in fine
condition. This includes the Sec
tions on the Washington Boulevard
which were broken down by the
heavy army trucks and which were
badly in need of repair. The Bacon
Hill road puzzles the road builders
The bottom there is soft and yield
ing and though filled in and covered
with FIVE inches of concrete it gives
way to the trucks. The next road
bed will be seven inches deep and
il this fails to hold other measures
will be taken to make it hold.
With the advent of winter all CON
struction work will now be suspend
ed but beginning in the spring, the
commission intends to extend the
system.
The money problem has now been
solved, thanks to the motor vehicle
tax, which in 1919 will yield about
$1,50O,000 When Governor Croth-
ers first undertook road construction
he made an address to the commits
sion, in which he said the state
might look forward to an income OF
100000 year. This was before
the automobiles and trucks came
into such general use. Eventually
this fund will suffice not only to keep
the system in repair, but will be
ample to connect up every county
road in the state.
For the time being it is not likely
that the bridge connecting St. George
Island in St. Mary's county with the
mainland, will be built. The cost
would be about 100000, and the
commission does not feel justified
incurring this expense when so few
would be benefited. This conclusioh
was reached following survey re-
recently made.
