INAUGURAL BALL ID
 BE NOTABLE EVENT
 IF WINTER SEASON

While politicians throughout the state are campaigning for their par ticular choice for governor, while bus mess and professional men are lining up their activities for the winter, while social leaders are arranging their cal enderS for the season, group of well known men and women of Phoenix are planning an event in which all will be interested-an inaugural ball. The event will be the first of the kind since the N. O. Murphy administration. when the chief executive of the state was given the social honor due the position held by him.
 The idea of the inaugural ball. it is said, originated with a group of Phoe- nix business men who already have formulated plans whereby the city will play host at the most elaborate state ball ever held in Arizona. The gov ernor and his staff will be the guests of honor at the affair. which if present arrangements are carried out will be held at new Shrine Auditorium. which will be completed by January ?, when the function will be held as a climax to the inaugural ceremonies.
 Phoenix will be given opportunity to entertain as never before. for it is eX- pected that prominent citizens from all over the state will participate in the event. There will be guests from neighboring cities. from mining towns and lumber regions in the north to do the new governor honor and they will be given royal welcome. The new temple will be an ideal setting for the occasion for the large galleries will be utilized by those who do not care for dancing but yet wish to pay their re- spects to the chief executive and enjoy the greatest social function in the his tory of the state.
 All details will be in keeping with the character of the event. The music will be exceptionally fine while the floral decorations will be notable, as will the supper which will be served shortly after midnight.
 The inaugural ball is being planned on a strictly partisan basis and is to be held, it is declared, regardless of whether Thomas F. Campbell is re- elected governor or whether Nit Simms, the present secretary of state, is vic torious at the November elections. The committees who will be in charge will be composed of men and women of different party affiliations.
 Not since N. O. NurBny took the oath of office any years ago has an inaugural ball been helG in this city During the Murphy regime there were numerous events of a social nature that enlivened the winter at the states capitol. The ball will be given by the city, without attempt, however, to force funds for the function. There will be no drive or campaign of any Sort-tickets will be sold and everyone who is anyone, it is believed, will wish to attend the most notable of the years affairs. The date

LABOR SITUATION
 |S MORE PROMISING

GLENDALE, Sept. 1.-The outlook for labor in the Salt River valley and the Glendale district particularly are much more promising this year than they were at this time last year. Ac- cording to figures given out by the rep resentatives of the labor association, the number of pickers needed in the Glendale district is in the neighborhood of 1950 The bulk of this labor is to come from Mexico, as at this time that is the only place such labor is avail able However. some pickers are ar irving from the northern part of the state each day, and up to date about 30 Navajo Indians have been imported. Last year these Indians were used in only small numbers and proved to be very satisfactory. and standing order has been placed with the Indian agent for 5000 If this labor can be satisfied with the conditions of cotton picking and marketing part of the cotton prob lem is solved.

 A number of society women who have been advised that such an event will be held have been enthusiastic in their approval and have offered their CO., operation The keen interest already displayed assures success for the ball, unquestionably will be held.

Eagle Medal a High Honor, Indeed

To the Editor Of Euening Public Ledger:
Sr--I wish to correct an error In con-
ncction with the article about the mayor
presenting two Boy Scouts from York
with an Eagle Medal. Your paper states
that the Eagle badge was awarded be-
cause OF the completion OF the require
ments of a first-class scout. On the
contrary, the Eagle badge is the highest
award of the Boy Scouts Of America, and
Is three steps In rank above the first
class badge. 1t is given only when the
first class scout has received twenty-one
merit badges. which are awarded for
expert knowledge of first aid, life saving,
personal. health, public health, cooking.
camping and fifteen other branches Of
Boy Scout efficiency So. you see, the
Eagle badge stands for u great deal moro
than tho words in the newspaper article
would imrly.
only wrote this letter because /
wanted those two scouts. Robert Myers
and Fred Link. to have the full credit
Of their nard work. / say hard work"
because the tests which those boys went
through are nard for even those fellows
who are used to the hard knocks Of mixes
and camping. When you get to be an
Eagle Scout you have something to bo

Philadelphia, october Z, 1920.
The pair" Ia merely a fair and
friendly arrangement between senator's
or representatives. 1t enables q law
maker who expects to be absent when the
vote Is taken TO go away without hurt
ing the side he Is supporting. Senator
A, for instance. who would vote for a
bill, but has pressing business away
from Washington, in his absence his
vote cannot be given or counted. but In
rider that his side may not lose any
thing by his absence. he agrees with
Senator q, who is opposed to the bill,
that neither shall vote. Thus each side
loses one vote and the result Is not
changed. For example, II on n certain
bill fifty of nnety-six senators are In
favor OF 1t. and forty-six are opposed, 1t
would be majority of four for the bill.
But If five senator's. who favor 1t, are
absent, and are paired" with five who
oppose II, then the vote will be 40 to Al, p,
leaving the majority unchanged at 4.
Paired senator's do not vote, even though
they are present,

Fire prevention day, designated in an
effort to arouse the people to the magni-

careless, indifference and neglect play
great part in causing fires, have Joined
