r%RADE and industry have
shown some further improve
y ment during the month OF
Apfi1. but the fundamental difficulty,
which Il the disruption. of the price
level between raw products and
manufactured goods, Is yet far from
overcome.
According to government reports,
the level of the principal farm prod
icts declined SO per cent. In March,
whereas the normal movement In
March is upward, and over the last
ten years the advance has averaged
ia per cent. On the other hand
manufactured products, especially at
retail, freight charges and personal
scr vices generally have made no
corresponding decline.
(, II Is evident on every hand that
DE depression which exists is due
% the unbalanced state of industry,
70 regard the compensation re-
,eived by important bodies of
people. A great portion OF the
population suddenly has lost large
part Of its purchasing power, and
Is no longer able to buy the prod
ucts of the, other industries as it has
been accustomed to do.
The first thing IL to consider the
position Of the farmer, not as a
matter Of sympathetic interest but
to see how II relates to the general
situation. To be specific we might
take the case Of the cotton-grower,
who 10 now getting about the same
price for his cotton that he did be-
lore the war.
His product is shipped from the
farm over a railroad whose charges
are so per cent more than before
the war.
It is made up into fabric in a mill
whose employees probably receive
100 per cent. higher wages than
before the war, despite recent re-
AUCTIONS.
Coal consumed in transportation
and manufacture costs twice as
much az before the war, because
Hsges and mining expenses gen.
orally have increased 100 per cent,
Finally with various other ex-
lenses and profits added, with like
percentage of imitation, the cotton
garment comes back over the rail-
road, and is offered for sale to
:he cotton-grower, and the farming
community generally, for consump-
ton. The other farmers are in the
same situation as to income as the
cotton-grower; is it any wonder
that the market for cotton goods
! has fallen off?
There has been no such disloca-
iuan Of exchange relations, either
between countries, or between in
"ustries within this country, in all
'~e past. That dislocation must be
| directed before trade can be re-
.ored to normal proportions.
,:ither farm products and raw ma
! ttrials must rise to the level of man
hactures and the common basis of

ATTEND MASONIC MEETING
AT PLAINS LAST WEEK

F. H. Feather, H. d. Shields, Har-
vey Mahoney and Ray Millman went
to Plains Thursday for the purpose
Of seeing Chas. Shore take the third
degree in Masonry. Thirty years ago,
Mr.. Millman said, Bill Feather and
Charlie Shore were sitting, one day
on the banks Of the River Cimarron,
casting pebbles in the limpid waters
when they decided to join the Mas
ons. Mr.. Feather proceeded to do so
at the earliest opportunity but Mr..
Shore but recently took the step.

S,O00,00O persons in the ranks OF
the wage-workers are not gettirp
any wages at all. It is strange tina.
the people who declare so vehem
entity against any wage reductions
seem to overlook this fact.
The trouble is that wage payments
have been enormously reduced
without accomplishing anything
toward restoring the balance be-
tween the industries. The loss OF
wages sod production Is she,-
vase. Tbs co.'s of production ~

living to all thoee who %ave b.
to take reductions In their COZ
pensation and to those who are out
of work, as well as to those who are
fortunate enough to BE- employed.
II holds the situation In q deadlock,
except as It slowly and inevitably
gives way under the pressure o!
grim necessity.
These facts arc evidences Of
principle running through all our
economic relations. They dgnify
that those relations arc not de
termined at last BY the mere
strength and bargaining power OF
the different elements In society, bu'
that there is q normal balance am
relationship under which all groups
and classes prosper best together.

Monday morning, s. A. Miller
drove his car down town and parked
in the usual place near his office on
Lincoln avenue. Later he went out
after it and found it gone. A search
was made but no car. After while
it was located On Kansas avenue. He
does not know who took it or for
what purpose unless some on
thought to steal it then changed their
mind. None Of Br Miller's friends
did it for joke, he says.

THE FEDERATED CHURCH

. You perhaps noticed in the Liter.
airy Digest some time recently the
printed letters from the governors of
the various states in answer to an in
quiry sent out by the Literary Digest,
calling for an expression as to the adj
visibility of introducing the substance
OF the disarmament conference. Their
reply was almost in one accord that
the developments of the conference
should be studied closely by the
schools and that the conference should
be made as a basis upon which to build
a strong program for peace. This is
certainly very timely idea to adopt.
If this will work as a process of ma
terial education to this nation, it
could be reinforced with a strong re-
ligious background. The public schools
and churches could cooperate with
each other to that end. We are in
clined to believe that the religious
training is by far more essential. The
fundamentals of peace are interviewer
in the christian religion. We still be-
lieve that the church is the most inn
portant institution in the land and
men are coming to realize this more
each day. The Sunday school is the
chief channel Of religious education
offered by the churches today but the
desired results will never be reached
in that manner alone. There must be
D foundation of religion in the home.

This morning the Normal girls all
star basket ball team left for the VAL
ley where they go to play series of
games with Phoenix, Mesa, Tefnpe
High, Tempe Normal and Florence
High schools.
The girls have practiced and plan
ned for this trip for two years and
are all elated that the time is here
for the trip and especially for the
games that they have every anticipa-
ton of winning. Last year the same
team won the Northern State cham
pionship and have no fears of losing
1t this year. Of course they are 90
ing out of their class to a certain
extent in the large schools of the val
ley, but even there they expect to
come out victorious.
Those with the team are: M. Nc

Amy Patterson, Flodell Davies, Fran
ces Kapanki, Nellie Maxwell.
The Normal boys basket ball team
will play the Leupp Indians the first
game of the season on December 10 at
8 p. m. in the auditorium. This is
more or less of a practice game, not
being included in the regular series,
but the Indians are known to have a
very good team and the game is ex-
pected to be hard and fast.
