The Acid Test Of Time!

Those who patronize the Bowers Stores have
LEARNED FROM LONG EXPERIENCE that while
others may OCCASIONALLY cut prices, ''to achieve
the glory of underseling them the prices asked at
the forty -four Temples of Economy are RIGHT
PRICES, with sweeping guarantee of money back
if not pleased as to quality.
Bear in mind that it was the Bowers method Of
selling at UNIFORM PROFIT FOR CASH, and by
eliminating useless service such as credit and free de-
livery, that enabled them to REDUCE ALL PRICES
to minimum years ago, and which is quite different
from the method of offering cut price leaders and spe
Gals practced by most grocers in days past, and to
some extent now
Those who seek to SAVE MONEY AND TIME,
from either necessity choice will please remember

that long training in Bowers methods and appreca.
ton of Bowers ideals has so mbued the Bowers men
with the Bowers spirit that unworthy methods would
excite only their contempt.
The trade mark of the 'muzzled dog and the
slogan, "You won't get bit if you buy of Mr. Bow.

THEoNLY WAY?
philadelphia, Pa, Pressl

philadelphia, Pa, Press)
The South in general and Kentucky
in particular should be grateful for
Governor Morrow's firmly courageous
action. In using the militia to dis
perse an armed mob bent on lynching
a Negro prisoner he has struck a blow
at lynch law which will long be re-
membered and which should have a
salutary effect in effacing it altogeth-
er. The South needs more executives
of his stamp of conscientiousness and
fearlessness.
That five people had to be killed
while he was thus preserving law and
order is deplorable But there will be
no disposition to blame Gov. Morrow
for this. The mob which sought to
override lawful authority brought
these casualties on itself, and it is
fortunate that more of it's members
did not fall before the rifles of the
defenders of the government.
Lynching is an abomination peculiar
to America. 1t is an evil tradition
which. has operated to stain the good
.repute of an otherwise law abiding
people. Gov Morrow's way is the
only effective way. The nation owes
him gratitude for the example he has
set

PREDICTS LYNcHlNG
IN SOUTH TO PASS

Boston, March 3.-Within a few
years there will be no more lynching
of Negroes in the south, DR.. Robert
R. Motion, the Negro head of Tuske-
gee Institute, predicted in an address
here this week.
The governors of North Carolina,
Georgia, Tennessee and Kentucky
have pledged themselves that there
will be no lynching in their states
while they are in office, he said.
AS an instance of what he said was
"the very gratifying attitude of the
best people of the south toward the
negro" Dr. Motion said the governor
of North Carolina recently recognized
a Negro committee as brothers"

TIME EXTENDED FOR HELP
IN NEAR EAST RELIEF

For the benefit of all those individ-
uals and organizations which have
signified their intention of contribut-
ing to the Near East Relief, but who
have failed to send in remittances or
pledges, the state committee has Sc
cured from the national organization
an extension of ten days. This will
bring the campaign to close on
March TO-
All checks and pledges should be
mailed direct to Near East Relief
headquarters, Phoenix National Bank
building, Phoenix, Arizona Lively
interest is being shown in many sec
tions of the state by lodges, clubs and
schools as well as church organiza-
tions in pledging funds sufficient to
provide for the adoption of one or
more orphans. To Arizona has been
allotted the task of caring for 1000
Armenian children during the ensuing
year. Monthly pledges ranging from
IS to SIS are being accepted; s5 pro-
viding food, $40 providing food, cloth
ing and shelter, and SIS providing all
these and industrial education as
well.
Whether Arizona will succeed Or
fail in its duty to humanity in this
great cause of mercy depends entirely
upon the results received before the
close of the campaign" declared Chas.
D. Willis, state secretary. 'If all
those who have promised to cooper
ate make good, there is no doubt that
Arizona will go over the top. Unless
prompt action is taken, however, this
state is doomed to fall down hard in
the raising OF it's quota of funds. 1t
would certainly reflect discredit upon
this great prosperous state of ours if
we are to fail in doing our share
toward relieving conditions which
know no parallel in the history of the
world.
IF there ever was a worthy cause,
if there ever was a crying need that
demanded immediate action that
cause is the present plight of the rem
nants Of races now struggling for ex-
istence in the Near East.
America has been called upon to
help. 1t cannot help officially by rea-
son of the fact that these peoples have
not yet been recognized as nations.
While this fact presents a political
barrier it should not and must not in
terfere with giving. The Near East
Relief, incorporated by Congress, has
been especially created to carry on
the work of relief to hundreds of
thousands of famishing women and
children, who are battling against ter
rife odds.
'The way has been made clear to
every one who reads just how he, in
dividually, can help. 1t is the earnest
