Novel Effect Of Price Jag
 On e Poor Ne1Us Hound

Say! Did you know that stamps at the postoffice are the same price as before? No! Fact, and, say, you can get Scent cigar made in this city that is a capital smoke, a cheery, joy-provoker that creates an atmosphere of contest in the busy, and stirnu- lates the indolent into pleasura- ble activity?
 Well, listen. What would you think of a business man, who had shoes marked at S1O, leaving them at that price and right out in plain sight in the window, after a government investigator of profiteering had told him he would have to pay S11 wholesale to replace the same goods? Like to know the place, would you not? Is it in Prescott? Sure!
 Do you like flowers? And gar den-sass? Pshaw, package-seeds are the same price as before, at one place; maybe at all, but would you ask further after you found one?
 PRICES BEAT PHOENIX
 Why is it that so many visitors from Phoenix remark that prices are lower here where it is 4000 feet higher than where prices are higher where it is 4000 feet low CT? Where can you get a 50- cent tie that will make a civilian out of a discharged soldier, who affects samples of his uniform for street wear? And you had better bet that there is modish style and good wear in the tie, too, hadn't you?
 Where can you buy stock sad dles cheaper than the same can be bought wholesale now, and from a company that is bringing two saddlemakers from Pendle- ton, the Round Up' Oregon town, to turn out a local product that furnishes the rangemen with their equipment? Did you know that this city has a saddle making establishment that sells saddles in every state in the Union, and whose export out of the state business is bigger than the local sales? Some good quality in this burg, eh?
 Would you believe it, but one grocer states that his retail prices now are what his wholesale prices will be when he replenishes his stock? Won't you feel cheap if you doubt 1t, and yet have the truth of the statement shown to you so plain that you will forget Missouri and take stock in the folks right here?
 Have you a bungalow apron? Don't you know that if a bachelor would adorn his person with one of those nifty, becoming creations and step outside with a dishpan in his hand, that all previous Leap Year rushes would pale into an

Pres colt did it! Why, a cutie-cunning, would-be-dashing, military she-ro is a-riding a horse-laugh if the wearer hopes to win out over the aerial-biscuit, next-to-the- heart, comfy appeal of the bungalow gown. No? Why, sure!
 Oh, what a lovely sensation! Did you ever experience it? No middleman! Sure, and no parcel post to pay and then get it press ed again, so it can be worn. You can get it made right here, every stitch, every slash of the shears, every button attached, and the whole fabric draped on your limbs in way that they cannot help but appear manly, doncherno, or do you?
 Some city, and quite a large sized place at that, if you have not a line on what is possible and to your interest right here where you live! When you order your coat and vest, you won't forget the rest, now will you, or will you have to be told?
 Same mechanics, same price, same quality of work, and on what? Automobiles, of course? And at the same place? You said it, and inside the city limits, too. Suppose you know that, though, eh?
 Would you credit the judgment of man who is in the grocery and fruit business if he told you that he guessed he must be sell ing goods at the right prices be- cause his trade had been steadily increasing, the same customers still coming, and others being added as steady traders every week? If he went further and said he believed that the coming summer would be one of the busiest and most prosperous that the city had ever seen, and there fore full of enjoyment for the people of this city, wouldn't 1t make you feel like taking little stroll with a getting acquainted purpose about the town with . view to jazing up considerable yourself?

INDUSTRIALWORK IN MINES GETS
 J. 5. OFFICIAL

PHOENIX, March 26.-A. E. Eld- redge, naturalization examiner for the southern district of California, Arizona and Nevada, has resigned from government services to become assistant industrial superintendent of one of the largest mines in Arizona Mir. Eldredge stated that as yet he did not care to give out the name of the corporation with which he will be identified after April l5
 The program which he will carry on will be largely along the lines of industrial work in its broadest sense and will be confined strictly to the miners of the corporation by which he is employed. While the idea is not entirely new in the east, it has never been tried out on an extensive scale in this state, and Eldredge has the enthusiasm, the sympathy and understanding of men, and the ex- ecutive ability to do big things with . d big job, according to the mine of !icials. His two years work among the foreigners will be of immense help to him in facing the trying posi- ton that will be his.
 The Eldredge Plan
 ' The idea of the industrial superin- tendent IS to get in close touch with the miners, to win their confidence and to help them i'll all possible ways. 4 He believes that one of the primary 4 factors in making men happy and 4 contented is to teach them how to help themselves ratheF than to lead them. The value of cooperation will also be impressed on the miners by Mir. Eldredge, who will encourage the spirit between the employer and em- ploye.

! WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The story
of Terence Mac Swiney and his final
hunger strike was told today by the
widow Of the late lord mayor OF
Cork, who appeared before the Ma
TONS unofficial commission on condi-
tons in Ireland.
So fierce was Mac Swiney's love for
ireland and the Irish language, she
said, that even his baby daughter
Maura could not speak any but the
Irish language.
! She has never heard her father
! or mother use a word of English"
Mrs. Mac Swiney said
! The widow appeared d small, fra
gile woman, dressed in black, speaking
with bit of brogue.
| Mrs. Mac Swiney said she first met
; her husband in 1915 and later again at
Christmas, 1916 when he was an Of
| ficer in the Irish republican army.
He was arrested and put in Jail
about that time for making a speech
and l used to go to Jail to see him."

ANOTHER INCOMPETENT BOARD.

The federal board for vocational education
received ninety million dollars with which to
re-educate disabled soldiers. 1t was hoped that
this was one board which would be consclen-
itious, efficient economical. But it is no excep
ton to the rule that all the boards appointed
by this administration are incompetent and
wasteful Too much money to spend appears
to have turned it's head and it has embarked on
a veritable orgy Of extravaganza. There are by
it's own figures seventy thousand soldiers who
are eligible for training, and hospitals filled
with others who become eligible day by day.
But instead of doing anything for these, the
board is setting up useless ofices-thlrty-
such that carry high salaries have just been
created-is finding jobs for discredited and in
competent officials and is wasting the millions
congress furnished for the rehabilitation OF
heroes of the war. AS usual with Wilson boards
there is no man on this one or connected with it
or serving it in any capacity from director
down who was ever known to have shown any
thing in the way Of fitness for his position They
are all Of them apparently mediocrities who
were lifted up 50 high and suddenly that they

trusted to the vocational board is petty mat
