LILIES. HARNER WINS
 HOMESTEAD CONTEST

Affirming the decision written by John L. Irwin of the land office in Phoenix, the general land office held that Lillie s. Harner, intervener in the homestead contest proceeding of Thomas Brady versus Rudolph L. Lar son, had superior right to the prop erty, which is located near Chandler
 Both the contestant and contestee appealed from the decision of the reg ister, and Scott White. receiver. who held with Mir. Irwin that Mrs. Harner had the greatest claim to the Maricopa county homestead.
 Before her marriage. as Miss Lillie Swift. the intervenor filed on the land. the entry being made in 1912 When she appeared to make final proof and failed to show that she had been nat uralized. the proof was rejected, and the land relinquished. After her mar riage to Harner, her husband filed on the land which was later withdrawn for the reclamation project Later Brady moved on the property and Larson filed his application and tE- contest proceeding was brought.

THE HIGH COST OF LOAFING.

1t is the high cost of loafng rather
than the high cost OF living taat
troubles America today, in the opln-
don expressed in a recent issue OF the
ss.Corn Exchange" the monthly maya
zine of the Corn Exchange National
Board of Philadelphia. The paper
says that the country is producing
less per hour, per man, than before
the war although the rate OF con-
sumption is greater. This being
true, prices continue to advance and
further advances may be expected
until an economic balance is effected
between production and consumption.
. The solution Of the problem as in
dicated by President Wilson, Gov
ernor Harding, of the Federal Re-
serve Board, and others, is to in
crease production and reduce ex-
penditures.
turing plant of Philadelphia, says the
that under identical circumstances
me-half more before the war al
though wages have been doubled.
Another investigation which covered
several STATES anu WuICH WdS IOpO1
ed in the same paper showed that
while the average wage per man in
creased 24O per cent, the production
per man, per hour. had decreased 81
per cent.
! "The man who loafs on the job,"
says the paper above named, mo
matter what division of society he be-
longs to, deliberately elects to sur
render his claim to be an honest
man, for he is pretending to do some
thing that he knows he is not doing.
This lowering of the moral standard
Of the nation y = menaces the sta
biiity OF tlSe State"
The paper concludes: LET us be
honest with ourselves by recognizing
the high duty Of working at maximum
speed at whatever task circumstances
bring to us. The loafer is the father
of the liar, and the. liar is father of
the traitor to all that we hold dear
In America, 1t is the worker who
has always won. the shirker who
has always lost. Let us stop talking
about the high cost of living. Let
US put stop to the high cost of
loafing"

WILL HIGH PRICES CONTINUE?

Ii is of vital Importance to most
perGOD5 to. know whether high prices
are to continue. Authorities and
guesserS disagree. Nobody knows.
That prices have advanced from so
to 100 per cent in the last five years
is fact. That this advance is due
largely to war and the increase by
about $3.50 100000 in the worlds
credit paper currency is also a fact.
1t is probable, theirfore, that prices
will remain high until the imitation is
removed or until production increas-
es and reaches its normal ratio to
the amount of currency. This may
pc in three Or four years, it may not
be in twenty years nobody can tell
It is likely, however, that the de-
cline in the prices of commodities or
the. rise in the purchasing power of
the dollar, which is the same thing,
will be slow
The real hardship has been and
will be on the men with fixed salar-
les or incomes. The great army OF
clerks and other employees in the
stores and counting houses, the
women who have their entire funds
loaned out at fixed interest or in
vested in securities bringing a fixed
return-these all have seen the pur-
chasing power of their dollars re-
duced one-half, which is tantamount
TO their income being cut lin two.
! There is no remedy save produc-
ton of wealth Of goods and com
modities. Prices Will not fall until
the proper ratio OF credit money and
all other kinds of. money to COM
modities is restored. Production
will not reach its highest level I'M
til confidence is restored, and con-
fdence will not be restored until the
peoples. of, the world return to the
paths of peace.-New York Herald.
