The Withdrawal of support OF the
British government of the market for

sible for the sharp drop. Sterling sold

Traders also took pessimistic
view of the address of Judge Gary
and other steel leaders before the
American Iron and Steel Institute.

effect declared that before any i'm
provement could be brought about
in the steel situation there must
be further reductions in wages and
prices and . cutting An freight

One of the most hopeful signs of

OF many steel products will not per-
NIT lower selling prices. He is
opposed to further wage cuts, how

This morning Constable Fred Mur- 'ah, Pete Peters and Jesse Cole went hunting in Carouse bottom. Naturally you find more game by searching in d,f- ieren directions, so the party became separated Constable Murrah and Pc ters arrived home safe-but Jesse was missing. They waited and waited but still no Jesse.
 About F o'clock he arrived in town. He had either been on the chase of big game or been chased by big game until he lost himself in the woods. They were hunting on the other side of the creek but Jesse has no recollection of crossing the creek to come home and found himself out here in the edge of town, back of H. H. Smiths place. w think wit hseveral days of rest so that his nerves will recuperate Jesse will b able to go hunting again, but we ad- wise that he take better guardians than Messrs. Murrah and Peters.

Editor Picayune l:

In order to answer questions which people are asking regarding the case of the injunction against Road District No ?, which was reversed by the supreme court this week, I desire you to pub fish the following explanation.
 The Chancery Court made an order restraining the sheriff and his success sors in office, forever, from collecting any more taxes by Road District No. 2, on the lands included in District No. 1. That order still stands. The Chan cery Court also ordered the sheriff to pay back to the taxpayers the money in his hands which he had collected on the lands included in Road District No. 1. That part of the decree was revers- ed and it was the judgment of the su. preme court that Mo- 1 should pay its proportional part of the preliminary expenses of District No. ?.
 The result of the decision is to for ever put Sections 1 and 3 of Road Dis trict No. ?, out of business so far as building a road is concerned. That question has been in dispute but under the decision of the supreme court 1t is settled.
 Now let us all get together and build the Missing Link" of the "Bankhead Highway" under Road District No. !.
 Respectfully,
 J. o. A. Bush.

 FUR BOYS FEED

Plans for the feed to be held at the Y M. C. A. Thursday. November 4. by the federated older boys Sunday school classes are per- fected and a program has been pre- pared. With Judge Stanford as speaker something worth while is certain.
 Several weeks ago representatives of the various older boys Sunday school classes met and organized a federation to handle basketball and other athletics this winter and to plan for closer cooperation between the various classes. The boys be- lieve with all the classes working as unit much more can be accom- plished than is possible with them working separately. As a means of getting this matter more clearly be- fore the boys and of securing better cooperation this feed" was planned. All older boy members of the Sunday schools are invited to come and bring their friends. Tickets may be secured from boys at the high school.

The impact threw him to the ground. Ortez striking on his head He regained his feet, however. with little assistance and was taken to the pharmacy, where he walked in un- aided.
 Attaches of the store thought the youth was not seriously injured. as he bore no marks and appeared en- tirely normal except for complaining of pain in his head. Mir Kimball Bannister, who attended him imme- diately, found indications of a skull fracture and had him taken to the hospital where he later become un- conscious and died despite the efforts of physicians. Death resulted from a hemorrhage of the brain caused by fracture of the skull.

 The fund for the Arizona Children's Home lacks but S10S.14 to complete the $500 which will make up the quota which was the share of Phoe- nix in the campaign to aid the little orphans of this state.
 With only about $10O to raise to complete this fund, it should be an easy matter. Phoenix never has failed in any drive. and she will not in this one. It is, of course. only a matter of time. But with so little to raise, it is the desire of the women who are giving their time and efforts in this most worthy cause to com plete the fund without delay as the new home for the little children is completed and will be dedicated in a short time. The money to be raised by Phoenix has all been pledged in the construction of this building and must be raised immediately.
 A little from many will make up the final $100 needed. The records of the drive will remain open for a few days to enable the workers to- collect pledges. Donations nav he left at the office of The Republican or may be sent to Mrs. w. w. Ed wards, 1104 North Second street chairman of the drive for Maricopa county.
 Only s10O is needed. Remember the little homeless children today and make gift in their name.
