Thursday Afternoon
 Club Reception

At the Odd Fellows Hall last even ing was held the Annual Reception by the ladies of the Thursday Afternoon Club to the gentlemen.
 The hall was tastefully decorated, one end being set apart for the card tables and the serving of refresh ments. Dancing and bridge began at nine o'clock and continued throughout the evening.
 An excellent program of music and readings had been arranged and from time to time the numbers were given between the dances. Mrs. L. J. Par ker and Mrs.R. c. Jacobson sang "Shoogy-Shoo" by Ambrose, and for an encore "The Gypsy Trail' by Gal loway, both of which were delightfully."- rendered and much appreciation was shown. Miss Gladys St. Charles ac- companied at the piano and Mrs. H. w. Barefoot with violin obligato. The old, yet ever new "Just A Weary in For You" by Carrie Jacobs Bond was beautifully sung by Mrs. Fred Hawk. Mrs. Hauk's singing is new to Kingman people, but judging from the demand for an encore, it will not remain so. Later in the evening, a violin solo was given by Floyd W. Farley, principal of the Kingman grammar school. MT. Farley played Dvorak's "Humoresque" and as an en- core, Melody in E".
 After the refreshments were served and during an intermission in the dancing and card games, Mrs. Greeley Clack, president of the Club, gave the Address of Welcome, followed by a very appreciative response on behalf of the gentlemen by Dr. w. c. Todr. The last two numbers on the program were, readings, one an o. Henry story by Mrs. Harry Smith and Riley's '"That Old Sweetheart of Mine" by Mrs. Charles Dutton. Mrs. Smiths reading was much enjoyed as it was full of o. Henry's usual humor. It would be difficult to find anything more beautiful than the Riley poem selected by Mrs. Dutton, and its ren- dition added much to the original beauty of the lines. Mrs. Jesse Mar tin accompanied Mrs. Dutton's read ing at the piano.
 The music for dancing was very good, being furnished by Messrs. 1 Cross, Thomas and Robinson.
 The Reception as whole was a complete success and by the close of the evening, the gentlemen were 50 full of appreciation that rising vote of thanks was extended to the ladies of the Club for the very delightful and enioYable evening.

 "The Buffalo boilermaker got 36.1c an hour in 1913; he gets 72.5c now. The unskilled laborer in the building trades at St. Louis got 25c an hour, six years ago; he now gets 62.5c. In Jacksonville, Florida, the carpenter who earned 31c then; gets 65c now. In Chicago, San Francisco and some other cities he gets $1.OO an hour, with $2 an hour for overtime; and so great is the demand for workers that he won't work unless the contractor permits him to get in good many hours of overtime week.
 "The Philadelphia hod-carrier was content to work for 35c an hour six years ago, but roc is his wage now. The Detroit machinists' scale was 399c, but it is now S5c.

The Dallas plasterer and the Birming- ham plumber get SIP 1-2 an hour, with plenty of overtime at double pay; the Boston sheet metal worker earns his 90c an hour regularly; the average hourly pay of the rollers of the sheet steel mills of the whole country is $2.57 1-2, and they work ten hours a day.
 "The prosperity of the worker is no longer adequately measured by his wage rate per hour. Five years ago work was scarce; a large percentage of workers expected to be idle many days in the year. Now there is de- mand for the service of every avail able man in practically every trade, not only for A or AS hours a week at

OLD TRAILS HIGHWAY
 TO GIVE ALL A CHANCE
 TO VISIT PE7R|F|ED FOREST

Good travelling into the Petrified forests, one of Arizona's great scenic features is promised for this summer by State Engineer Thomas Maddock in his announcement of a call for bids to construct the Holbrook-St. Johns section of the Old Trails highway. Work on the section is to be started just as soon as weather conditions permit, and is to be completed by the beginning of summer.
 The Old Trails highway is one of the four great trunk routes through Arizona that were projected by the first territorial engineer in 1909 and which the state authorities have been developing ever since that time. 1t enters the states eastern borders at Springerville, Apache county, and con- tinues westerly across the northern section of the state, passing through St. Johns, the Petrified forest, Hol- brook, Winslow, Flagstaff, Williams, Ashfork, Kingman, Oatman, and To- pock, where it crosses the Colorado river into California. The highway has a junction at Ashfork or Williams with another highway out of Phoenix.
 The Old Trails highway is reported in good travelling condition over it's entire length when weather condi- tions are favorable, but most of it is not paved. Another highway, in a similar stage of construction, goes by way of Phoenix, Prescott, Jerome, Clarkdale, and Ashfork, where it joins the Old Trails route. The line out of Phoenix is approximately 150 miles long.
 From Ashfork east some paving will be done early this year between Ash fork and Flagstaff and Winslow, and the section between Holbrook and St. Johns is to be completed. Oil sta tions are reported we'll distributed along the line so motorists can run into the Petrified forest at any time without fear of fuel drought.
 An agreement was executed about one year ago with the United States bureau of public roads covering this section of highway but before pro ceeding with the construction the state highway department decided that a change of route was advisable. The change produces shorter and more direct line, that can be built at. con- siderable less expense, afd that pass es entirely within the Petrified for est.
 The state highway department holds that there is no money available to warrant extra expense for reaching any particular point in the forest, but the most interesting places for tour ists to see are convenient to the main road.
 The state engineer considers the the completion of the Holbrook-St. Johns section will open up to general tra- vel one of the most intereting natural phenomena to be found anywhere.

NEWS CLOTHING COSTS
 COMPARED WITH OTHERS

Speaking of the high price of cloth es a representative of the house of Hart Schafner & Marx says:
 Most people seem to think that clothes prices are high. Measured in the number of dollars it takes to pur- chase a suit they are. But measured in the prices of things which the pro- ducer has to sell, or in the wages paid for service performed they are no higher than they were before the war. In many instances, as matter of fact, they are not so high.
 Compare clothes prices, for in stance, with that of corn, the great American money crop. In 1914 the Iowa farmer had to haul fifty bush- els of corn to market in order to get the money to pay for a $25 suit of clothes. Now he can get $60 suit and $10 pair of shoes for his fifty bushels of corn.
 "It may be that he doesn't haul corn to market but feeds it to his hogs. On December 30th, 1914, he had to sell four hundred pounds of hogs at the top price of the Chicago market to get the money to pay for $25 suit and $3 hat. On December 30Sh, 1919, if he sold four hundred pounds fhogs at the top price of the Chi cago market he came within $3 of receiving the money to buy $6O suit and tboro boyo haap lopu Do,.iod- in the last two years when he would have got from $50 to $92 for his four hun dred pounds of hogs.
 "If, on December 30th, 1914, he marketed thousand pound corn-fcd steer at the top price of the Chicago market he got $91.50 for it. If the marketed it on December 30tth, 1919, for the top price, he got $195 for it. money enough to buy pretty nice outfit of clothes even at present prices.
 "Wheat is raised in very wide sec tions of the country. Official govern ment reports tell us that the average farm value of wheat on November 1st. 1914, was TIC bushel. The farmer who sold fifty bushels of it got S38.H0, or just about enough to buy S25 suit, a $5 pair of shoes, a $3 hat, tw o or three good shirts, and then some hankerchiefs. The farm value of wheat on November 1st, 1919, was $2.13 a bushel and the farmer who sold fifty bushels at his home station received $1O6.50, or enough to buy him fine $60 suit and a big thick overcoat. If a farmer happens to live in the Northwest and to have

Sufferer From
Death of Booze

Commemorative attorneys see
quite a loss of fees in the removal
of whisky cases from the courts,
due to the dry era. They talked
it over at their convention in
Louisville the other day.
Since the death of our friend,
John Barleycorn, the fees of the
Commonwealth Attorneys Of
fee have been greatly diminish
ed" said Jack Fisher, Paducah,
in an address on Fines" "For
this reason the speaker contin-
ued, sit is necessary to enforce
some of the statutes which have
been dead letters"
He said that the statutes pro-
hibiting children under certain
ages from working, and laws pro-
knitting women from working
overtime and without proper
equipment, should be enforced.
The gaming laws should be look
ed into also, Mr.. Fisher said.
"Pre-eminent is the statute
concerning the sale of liquid mix
lures that produce intoxication, !"
he said. GA heavy penalty should
be imposed for violation and the
cases shotlld be vigorously prose-
cuted." He said that another
statute often violated is the dope
law. The Commemorative At
torneys resented the plan of the
State Bar Association to have
their Offices abolished. Instead,
they recommended a salary of
$4,000 annually and abolition of
the fee system.

Airclanes Faster Than
Wild Geese or Pigeons
(By Associated Press)

10y ASSOcldlcu 1IeSSJ
Dallas, Texas, Dec. 31-Wild
geese cannot compete with the
airplane in speed or Amaneuvering
and the pigeon, the swiftest-of the
winged creatures, is outelassed by
the flying men, aviators here de
clare, and hunters corroborate
their. Statements.
To prove his ship faster than
the wild geese, one aviator climb
ed into the sky and flew around a
great V-shaped drove flying
north. The geese at first held
their formation, but when the
plane was but a few yards from
them they became panic-stricken.
As the big machine dived at them
several of the geese folded their
wings and dropped like p1ummets
toward the earth. Several hun
dred feet below the airplane they
flattened out, but each time the
aviator approached they folded
their wings and dropped.
An aviator dare not dash into
flock of geese, for collision with
them would wreck his plane. Ac-
cidents due to collision with birds
in air have wrecked airplanes and
in at least two cases caused the
death of the pilots.
