NOTES FROM COUNTY TOWNS

Los Angeles, Monday to consult med iaal aid in regard to his eyes. While working at the mine he got piece of stone in the eye, which he has been unable to get out himself.

 Rev. F.. J. Dunlap is holding Evan gelistic meetings this week at the Baptist Church. He will leave Mon day, so do not miss his Sunday even- ing service.
 The Masquerade Ball given by the Miners Union Monday evening was certainly a success. Everyone turn ed out and enjoyed the entire even- ing. The prizes for the best costum- es were given to Mrs. J. c. Caplan, who masked in Scottish attire and to Ruth Wellington masqued as Char lie Chaplin.
 Herbert Hayward is in Los An geles this week. While MT. Hay ward is away, John Ware, Mgr. of the Central Commercial Company at Kingman, is in charge of the store.

force.
 Finally the end came. The retail trade was squeezed to the limit beyond which it could not be squeezed without being destroyed. The dealer simply had to increase his prices again go out of business. Naturally, there had to be an increase in the rate of retail advances for there no long, CT any reserve margin with which to pay expenses.
 Unfortunately this period came right at the time when the camel of public patience could not stand one more straw. The public got irritable. A lot of seekers of applause got busy made superficial studies of the markets, discovered that retail ad vances had increased proportionally in the few months previously, raised big howl and pointed to the retailer as the guilty man. The public, being hot under the collar, took them at their word.
 "We all know the rest-a period in which food administration, newspapers and public, with only partial understanding of the situation and with no attempt to learn the full truth, have com bined in making life decidedly unhappy for the taller, whose comparatively small voice has been lost in the clamor" as

SENATOR JOHNS HERE, SPEAKS OF WORK OF THE LEGISLATURE

Senator A. A. Johns, of Yavapai county, president of the late state senate, is visiting Kingman, coming here to look after his interests in the Aubrey Investment company. The company is now shearing num- Der of thousand of sheep at McCon- nico. MT. Johns says that the feed in Sacramento Valley is the best he has ever seen here at this time of year and his sheep are looking fine.
 Speaking of the work of the late legislature, he believes that it was one of the best body of men that have been brought together in legis- lative session since the state became an entity. Its work, when cooly vis- toned will compare with the work of any other state. Regarding the high way measures MT. Johns believes that they are good and for the best interests of the state and deplores the loss of the money from state work during the next two years. The ap- propriation of $2O0,000 by the legis- lature to meet the governmental ap- propriation, it appears to be the op- info oh that these sums will be used
 entirely upon the Phoenix-Yuma roads and that no othr part of the state will be benefited by it. If this is true every county in the state will protest it's expenditure, as the fed
 eral. government is making appro- priations for the benefit of the main highways of the various states for the purposes of connecting up. Had Yuma and Maricopa counties shown disposition to use their own coun- ty moneys on this roadway it would have been different, but neither county has used a dollar to benefit the roadways outside of the town
 limits of Yuma and Phoenix. The
 southern and northern counties have spent hundreds of thousands of dol lars to perfect highway systems and should be considered in the expendi- ture of federal moneys.

While this list of prices is necessarily limited, still the items chosen at random and prove that all firms in this immediate vicinity matter how strong or weak their competition, must mark their goods on practically the same basis of profit and that profit today is actually less in proportion than it has been at any time during the past few years.
 One prominent retailer in Middle Western city has described the situation so apty that we are gence in doing SO.
 "In 1913" he said, Eve regarded prices as high, and it worried us somewhat even then But if we had known we were on the threshold of such advances as the last five years brought forth we would have been great deal more worried Even at that the margin of prices between which the tiler could do business in 1913 was not so bad.
 "Then the wholesale prices began to advance, and we had to advance our own prices to keep up But while the public then was not so rebelious at increases as it is today, it was nevertheless resis- tant So retailers generally took the easiest course and, while they increased their prices, they did not

 Wholesale prices continued to advance through the five-year period, taking sudden jump about the time this country got into the war. All the time the retail trade continued to act as buff fer, absorbing more and more of the shock which would otherwise have passed to the public in full
