TEMPE, Oct. 25.-The old Settlers picnic is to be held at the city hall plaza in Tempe. It has been customary in Tempe for some time to have an annual old settlers picnic.

However this fall people feel that they would again like to have a good old fashioned picnic, so next Saturday all the old settlers and their friends are cordially invited to take their lunch and go to the city hall plaza for the day. A good program is being arranged for by the committee in charge and a fine time is assured all who attend.

Financial Review
Business Failures

The latest Dun report shows large increase of commercial failures. both in the number and amount involved. This increase, however, is over an ab- normally low figure, which represents the failures during the war emergency while the actual increase is small over the actual number of commercial faib- ures which occur in normal times. That the adjustment period would see this increase was expected, but it is the opinion of some of our best finan- cial experts that deflation can and will be controlled so that there will be no disastrous business depressions as a result.
 A study of conditions points mora and more to the fact that lowering of commodity prices which has been and is being extended into all lines of industry is caused by changing fundar- rDental conditions. The results of tlrs almost universal law of supply and de- mand are being felt not only in com mercial lines but in the financial field 3s well. Liquidation caused by the tunctioning of the federal reserve sys- tenn was the initial force which started the ball rolling and it has been kept in motion by the cutting of excess profits and a great diminishing, if not an ending, to the wild orgy of spend- ing which held the country in its grip for some time.
 That retail buyers are now exercising some sort of judgment in making their purchases is evidenced by the falling off in gross sales and the universal ap- provaI given to the Make it do' slo- gan. And the result of this is already being felt. This is not shown so much by the numerous sales which are talk ing place, but by @ general reduction in buying and a more plentiful supply of goods on hand.
