A PROFITEERING MAD WORLD

ELSEWHERE this morning '9I4le Oasis" presents an
account of mass meeting called at the Santa Cruz Club
yesterday afternoon to consider alleged proeerng in No
gales and the correspondence that Colonel Ca1ahan re-
ferred to at that meeting in which he called attention of
the Town Council and Chamber of Commerce to the alleged
proft1ering.
Much to the regret of all the meeting came to very
lame and impotent conclusion Mr. Peterson the leading
produce dealer at whom eveed great deal of the
criticism aroused submitted list of prices in Nogales and
another In Tucson for contrast and he alleged that when
ne PAID the difference in cost of express charges between
the two places and the ice he had buy to keep over car
load until was all sold his profits very meagre There
is much force in his position.
One lady called attention to the fact that nrces for
produce in the market in Nogales Sonora are lower and
She advised that all there buy But that does
not meet all the ISSUE Prices in Nogaes Sonora are high
er tnan they should be when prices for the stuff in
Hermoslo and Guaymas quoted The writer has OBJ
served that dealers in the on the Mexican side Of
the line follow the prices the Arizona side at about
certain discount regardless of prices near their of
supply.
One OF the points raised rasers of produce in
this comtyon the Santa Cruz in the Elgn- -Sonoita re-
gon In the San Rafael Valley their produce to
dealers Nogales the latter will not buy and if tey do
Colonel Canahan charged they 100 per cent prot o
more.
Tree public market where rasers of produce can come
ana SELL is one remedy suggested And it may be put into
practice The esplanade in front of the Town Hall would
be great place for that
But when all is said and DONE the fault lies in no one
quarter and 1T lies in all quarters The world and parti
cuary the people of the United States suffered from
the profteeng of few When Edward Harrison bought
the profeerng of few. When Edward Hartman bought
the Alton Railway for $9OOOOOOO and watered the

ATTENTION METHODISTS

Friday, August 20, is the next
Focal date in the great Cen
tenary Campaign work. Mark
this date in your calendar and
get ready for Methodism's next
task-A Church Wide, Spirit
Led Revival.
Soul Winning
Methodism's chief objective is
not dollars, but souls. To this
end the Centenary has issued a
call for soul winning. All the
forces and machinery of the
great Centenary organization
will be used to put over the
greatest soul winning campaign
America has ever known. A
million souls for the Kingdom
| of God is the goal.
How To Do 1t
Prayer is the one force that
removes all barriers, overcomes
all obstacles, brings desired re-
suits. Prayer Gets Things
Done. Because somebody pray
ed the destiny of the world was
fixed and nations were brought
nearer to the feet Of God. AS
prayer helped to win the bat
ties of the Earth, so, too, prayer
will bring the spiritual victory.
Who Will Do 1t?
Methodists everywhere should
heed this call to prayer in behalf
of the great revival. Let every
Methodist in Nogales observe
next Friday, August 20, as
Day of Fasting and Prayer. In
the Morning; at evening; in
the Church; in the Family Cir
Gle; In the Secret Place, pray in
Earnestness and Faith for such
an outpouring of the Spirit and
such a Turning of Men to God,
as has never yet been witnessed
in the history of the race.
Pray Without Ceasing
Cooperate With God Through
Prayer.
The world needs the prayers
of the saints. Let us meet at
the church each evening from
Wednesday to Sunday night and
pray earnestly for the help of
Con lin this the worlds greatest
time of need.

A YIDDISH PAPER IN BERLIN.

A Yiddish weekly is now being
published in Berlin, under the name
of Der Frietag. This is probably
the first Yiddish magazine or period.
ical published in Germany in recent
years. It is national in character
and is probably supported by large
number of Russian Jews who found
their way to Germany during the
years of THE war. A very interesting
news item is mentioned there that
the German Tailors' Union recog-
nized the existence of a separate
Yiddish-speaking section, for whom
lectures and classes in Yiddish be-

JEWISH STUDENTS PLAN
COMMUNITY BUILDING.

A Jewish Students association
was organized last week at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, under the
guidance of Prof. L. B. Wolfenson,
chairman Of the department of
Semitic languages, for the purpose
of securing bi-weekly religious serv-
ices for the 200 Jewish students in
the university.
The inability of the Madison Jew
ish congregations to care for the
spiritual needs of so many students
is one of the reasons for the asso-
citation. It is therefore planning to
begin a campaign among Jewish
people throughout the state to raise
$25O,OOO for the erection of suit
able community center for student
activities. The Menorah society of
Milwaukee has already endorsed the
project.
