the most elaborate series of initiatory and dedicatory exercises ever held in all the Southwest, with the completion of the new Shrine temple and the commemoration of the twenty fifth anniversary of the founding of Fl Zari- bah temple as the incentives.
 From the time that the first Novice steps upon the burning sands until the strains of Home, Sweet Home" on early Thursday morning bring to q close the last harmonies of the grand ball which is to end the festivities, there is to be never dull moment, for the hundreds of Shriners who will at tend the ceremonies or for their ladies, for whom there is to be a special series of affairs that in daintiness and completeness will rival that part of the program which is to be devoted to the Nobles, and, in a particular manner, to the Novices.
 The two days, Tuesday and Wednes- day. are to be above all else Scimitar and Crescent days in Phoenix The initiatory exercises are to be held with all the pomp and ceremony that can be evoked by the great Fl Zar1bah temple: the parade is to be as full Of pep, music and color as enthusiastic

ing $15O per month before the war. are now receiving up to $350 per month is not a fact
 The statement that a cut of 25 per cent would still be giving the em- ployes a substantial increase over pre- war wages is not fact
 Some months ago the present man agement made a careful study of the possibility of reducing wages and at the time the Water Users association were paying less money, without sim gle exception, than the organizations listed above. However, in view of the financial condition of the farmers of this valley cut in wages averag- ing over F per cent was put in effect by reduction of forces and the plac- ing of the project on nine hour a day basis in the face of the fact that other organizations in the valley were on an eightlhour basis. Since that time there has been a slight further reduc- ton in living costs and a study is now being made of the possibility of a gen. eral reduction of wages without inn pairment of the efficiency of the prof ect by the loss of our experienced men. The shareholders of this association

Shriners intent upon marking in red ink that particular page in Shrine his- tory can make it, and the grand ball is to be the chief social event of the season, and while it is to be restricted to Shriners and their ladies only, it is to be, in decorations, appointments, music, refreshments and entertain ment, such an affair as Phoenix sees only once in a couple of blue moons.
 To Dedicate Temple
 All this is as it should be, for, aside from the fact of the anniversary, the new Shrine temple and it's dedication mark an epoch in the civic life of Phoenix. The structure, which is also an auditorium, is the largest and most commodious place of public meeting in Arizona, and it has been designed with view to affordlng place where worthwhile affairs may be held In a worth while manner This fact alone distinguishes the temple from all other structures in Phoenix and makes its dedication a matter of public as well as Shrine interest. The cost or the temple was S150,000, and the structure, which is of concrete and steel, Is one of the distinct additions to the beauty of Phoenix made during the past year
 Chief among the hundreds of visi- tors who will come to Phoenix for the two days of feStivity will be ElHS Lewis Garretson, Imperial Potentate, who is to be accompanied by hlS dlvan of the Imperial Council Of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine in North America
 The initiation will be the greatest event of it's kind in the lodge annals of this section of the United States Ap- plicationS have been received from every nook and corner in Arizona, so that 1t is now known definitely that the largest class ever to make the Sa- haran journey in the west will take the work on Tuesday. There will be no less than 300 new members brought into the organization on that day, ana the ceremonies are to be fully as elab- crate as that number justifies-
 The ceremonial and dedicatory exer- cises will begin at 9:30 o'clock Tuesday morning. when the Shriners will meet at the new temple, and at 10 o'clock the Novices will gather there also. The first section of the work will begin at 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon, at which hoi1r the dedicatory exercises will also get under way.
 At 5:30 o'clock in the afternoon there will be held the traditional shrine dinner, and at o'clock the Shrine parade will be held, starting from the Overland automobile headquarters at Washington street and Fourth avenue: At 30 o'clock the second section or the work will begin.
 In the meantime the wives of the local Shriners will have begun to carry out their plans for the wives Of the visiting Nobles. At 1 o'clock Tuesday afternoon there will be luncheon for the out of town visitors only at the Country club. followed by an afternoon at cards. At o'clock Tuesday eve ming there will be a reception at the Masonic hall, 26 South Central avenue for the ladies of all Shriners, including those of Phoenix
 At 10 o'clock Wednesday morning

On Wednesday afternoon there is to be an entertain ment de luxe,'' the details of which are being kept secret, but which it is ru- mored is to be an altogether novel affair for the, ladies'. In the evening the festivities will close with a grand ball at the Shrine temple, with Im- perial Potentate Garretsen and Mrs. Vic Hanny, wife of the potentate of Fl Zaribah temple. leading the grand march,

OFFICIAL EXPLAINS STATUS IF RECENT
 w. U. BOARD MEET

Because of misapprenensIons which have arisen concerning the action taken by the board of governors of the Salt River Valley Water Users asso- citation at its meeting February and the alleged publication of these in papers in towns near to Phoenix. F. A. Reid, president of the association, is sued the following statement yester- day:
 "To the Shareholders of the Salt River
 Valley Water Users Associations:
 My attention has been called to an article published in the Chandler Ari- zonan Tuesday, February 15. 1921, rel ative to action taken by the board of governors at their meeting held Feb ruary S. The Chandler article con- tains certain nisstatements of facts and other statements which,i though apparently true. are of such nature to leave an impression entirely diff ferent from the truth
 The statement that a proposition lost by one vote to cut wages of em- ployes from the head down is not a fact As a matter of fact it was the consensus Of opinion of the board of governors that study De made of the present living conditions and pres ent wages paid by the Water Users association with view to reduce wages where practicable by March L. A study has been made of the wages paid by Twohy Brothers. the Founda- tion company. state highway depart ment, city of Phoenix, Standard Oil company, Union Oil company, South west Cotton company, Inspiration Cop per company, United Verde, United Verde Extension, Babbitt Brothers, Dodge Brothers Merchants and Manu- lecturers association and the rail- roads, and without single exception it has been found that positions in the Water Users association pay less money than similar positions in any of the above organizations. However, it should be made of all positions in the Water Users association with a view of a general reduction in wages to meet the lowering of living costs in the last few months.
 "The statement that the present payroll is $43,000 a month is correct, but misleading in that it includes the payroll for construction work now be- ing carried on in the LaSeen drain with money advanced to the associa- ton by the property owners in that district. It also includes the payroll of the power division. The cost of our power division at present cannot be compared with the cost of the power division prior to the war Prior to the war the power division generated and sold less than 56,000,000 kilowatt hours a year. More power units have been installed and our power system has grown until last year there was gen. erated 75,000,000 kilowatt hours, with an increase in the net profits to the association of nearly 70 per cent. In round figures this increase in power

HEARD AND NEEDED APPEAL
Sexton Rather Spoiled Effect Of Preach.
er's Discourse by His Prompt
and Literal Obedience.

A country negro preacher was
speaking at length to his congrega-
ton Of the many things round us that
are shrouded in mystery, and Of which
we know little. As he warmed to his
theme, he became most eloquent, and
frequently repeated the oft-quoted
saying: "Alore light! Oh, for more
light"
His surprise may be imagined
when, after one Of these utterances,
the old sexton, who had been doing
since the beginning of the sermon,
woke with q start. then got up. tip
toed softly into the vestry, seized two
additional candles and, ascending the
pulpit stairs, placed them beside the
two already there, and in a loud
whisper, heard all over the church, ex-
claimed:

Films in Education.

A pet theory Of Rex Ingram, pro-
Queer of 1.-THE -Four Horsemen Of the
Apocalypse" and "Thc Conquering
Power" is that motion pictures will in
time virtually supplant oral instruc-
ton In the schools. He believes that
the eye impressions work more pow.
erfully on the brain than those Of
things heard.
A test of the theory, 1t is said, was
made recently in Detroit, where .
school class was divided into two
groups Of equal intelligence. One
group had a motion picture lesson {;
no explanation was given by teacher.
The lesson lasted u minutes. The
other group received oral instruction
from teacher for SIS minutes. Then
each group WAS tested on tile lesson.
The average grade of the motion pic
ture group was 3.26 per cent higher
than that of the oral group.

WORKERS DISSATISFIED.
over Lands Award In Chicago Build
ing Trades Industry.

Chicago, Sept. l0,--Two constructions
to-day were being placed on the unani-
nous vote of the Chicago Building
Trades Council declaring the Lands
wage award eunistifable" and express
ing the universal dissatisfaction Of
the workers over the decision Of Judge
X. NJ. Landis as arbiter in the building
trades controversy.
Wage cuts of 10 to % per cent were
made in the Landis decisin. Builders
and contractors held labor's verdict and
demand for a hearing as tanta-
mount TO rejection Of the award.
Others asserted labor had not broken
its pledge TO abide by the decision and
termed the action ian acceptance un-
der protest"
The declaration Of the union bodies
and the request for re-hesring to-
day was considered a serious setback
TO prospective peace in the Chicago
building world, to proposed immediate
starting of Sl00,000,000 worth of build
ing and to employment of nearly So
100000 men.
Members of building trade unions
on number of jobs yesterday threw
down their tools. Thomas kearney,
president of the Building Trades Coun-
ell. to-day expressed his intention TO
try to keep the workers on the job
until decision regarding a hearing
had been reached, but admitted that il
would be a big task.
