MINING INDUSTRY
REQUIRES SUPPORT

By Z. w. Carman
There appeared in the Record Cour-
Ter under date of January q. 1921, an
article by "Old Rocks setting forth
logical reasons why the people of this
valley and vicinity should take an In
tense interest In mining which is go
ing on all around them. Speaking of
the mineral resources OF this COM
munity, he says
Douglas County stands at the FORE
most in mineral resources beyond con-
lecture or imagination Within her
borders is a richly mineralized realm
that would embrace more than
dozen Cripple Creeks In area, and
which in value of surface deposits
vastly exceeds those of the great Colo
RADIO gold camp. in which pay rock
was reached at an average depth of
500 feet. which level, no prospect In
Douglas County has attained"
Now. this is the truth. Our psopIe

take much notice Of what has been
going on around them In a mining

lively at Carman Heights for the past
sixteen years. and have developed
some wonderful ore bodies to depth
which guarantees their permanency
and commercial value. The World
War has retarded production. coming

level, which believe to be the deepest
workings in the county. Good grade

other lodges by tunneling. @sss's.s

LEGION ASKS AID IN GIVING CHEER
 ID DISABLED MEN

That every disabled war vateran in the state shall receive his portion of Christmas cheer is the intention of the American legion, which is playing Santa Claus 10 all in Arizona who are on beds of sickness because of the great war.
 But because of the magnitude of the task and the we'll known sym pathy which Arizonians have for these disabled veterans. the legion is asking the operation of the general public. To this end it will receive donations at the legion headquarters, North Seventh avenue. until Tues day, when the gifts will be divided and boxed by the legion and by the Women's auxiliary.
 While all the posts of the legion the local post has a heavy burden upon it because of the number of disabled veterans in the Salt River valley, and the. legionnaires are cor respondingly anxious that the good work may be done as finely as pos sible in this part of the state.
 It is suggested to prospective do- nors that the gifts consist of fruit, candy, figs. raisins. tobacco. cigar cites. chewing gum, ties. handker- chiefs, stationery silver pencils, books. diaries, Hershey's chocolate. sewing articles, tooth paste, or. in general, whatever a donor may wish to give.
 The gifts should be delivered to the legion headquarters, but If this is not practicable, a telephone call will Nring a car for them.

RAILS ASK l. |. |. TO SUSPEND RATE
 REDUCTION ORDER
Republican A. p. Leased WIreI

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14-Request for six months suspension in the reductions ordered by the interstate commerce commission on grain. grain products and hay in the trans Mis- sissippi territory was made by the railroads and opposed by 15 western state railroad commissions, agricul- tural organizations and shippers in hearings today before the federal trade commission.
 Alfred F. Thom, general counsel for the Association of Railway Exec utives. in proposing the suspension asked that the commission allow the carriers in the meantime to make ef- fective a cut of 10 per cent in rates on all products of farm, range and orchard in all movements in the United States outside of New Eng land.
 c. M. Reed. chairman of the Kan sas utilities commission. asserted that "so far as the western farmer is concerned the 10 per cent 'volun- tary' offer of the carriers is delusion and a snare,' and that the maneu- vers of the carriers since October have principally been for delay.
 Clifford Thorne, appearing for western agricultural associations, said that prices of all commodities except railroad transportation had dropped materially in the last year, while this had increased. J. M. Ben ton, attorney for the state commits sion, asserted that the commission had found the grain reduction req sonab1e and that accordingly it would not be legal to maintain higher rates
 Railroad traffic officials declared they were ready to make the 10 per cent reduction effective Dec. 31. , The commissions orders. unless changed by the rehearing today. will require rates on bread grains ant their products and hay to be reduced by 125 per cent, TIE per cent an6 16 2-3 per cent of the charges in eff feet during government control ac- cording to territory and in addition require a 10 per cent lower rate tC be fixed on corn and other coarse
 grains than is charged on wheat
 Present charges on coarse grains equal wheat rates.

Committees Cooperating With Salvation Army In Preparations For Yule- tide Program

Committees to cooperate with the Salvation Army in giving Phoenix poor their annual Christmas cheer have been formed and the campaign for funds started. Mrs. Harry Kay is chairman of the Community Chest Fund committee and all checks in tended for the cause are to be direct ed to her at box 466.
 This work of collecting money and donations of food and clothing for the poor of the city is of especial importance this year because of the unusual number of people out of em- ployment and in nearly destitute cir cumstances. Many worthy cases are being brought to the attention of the Salvation Army every, day and it is the ambition of that organization. with the help of the public spirited members of the special committees. to meet the pressing requirements as nearly as possible during the holiday season.
 The big Christmas tree which will be placed in the lobby of the Hotel Adams. as in former years. is cut and ready for shipment from the northern part of the state. It wSf arrive prob ably some time next week. After | being placed it will remain in the hotel lobby until New Years. Programs for each night during ! the holiday season are being prepared | for presentation in the Hotel Adams
 Prominent singers and speakers will participate in this nightly work oi calling attention to the spirit of the Yuletide and the significance of the
 big Christmas tree.
 Money, clothing and food are the principal donations sought by the Salvation Army workers. However | books, toys, games and any articles of a practical nature will be very ac-
 ceptable and will be distributed
 according to individual requirements
 among the poor.
 | In addition to the distribution ci
 candy and toys to the kiddies at The big Christmas tree there will b' hundreds of deserving homes made
 happy with big baskets of wholesome provisions.
 Solicitations to make this program of Christmas good fellowship possible are now being made and everyone ! urged to contribute something. l is not necessary to await persona call from one of the workers as check sent to box 466 will save tim
 and energy on the part of comnitte members and go directly into th
 fund for which it is intended.

Now that amateur scenario writers have had al opportunity to study the complete condensed course of instruction by the noted screen au- thor, Fl. H.

However, several scenarios are already in the hands of the seen ario editor ready to be passed on to the judges at the proper time, and more are coming in on every mail

NAY ROBSON SCORES NEW TRIUMPH HERE. IN DELIGHTFUL PLAY

Those who paid to smile yesterday considered it well worth the price to be among those who attended the matinee or first nights performance of May Robson at the Elks theater.
 In Tt Pays to Smile" the come dienne has as delightful vehicle to demonstrate her unquestionable abil- ity as in ''The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary" in which she will always be remembered. The charming comedy drama was dramatized by Ethel Watts Mumford from the stories by Nina Wilcox putnam which appeared in the Saturday Evening Post. The dialogue is extremely well written and the characters drawn with skill.
 While the play centers around Miss Robson. who as Freedom Talbot has the opportunity of being seen in a role exactly suited to her. It also serves to introduce other, types equally well sketched and given in- telligent and well balanced portray als by a supporting company which has a sense of values.
 Inimitable May Robson was as de- licious yesterday as when she made her first appearance here many years ago. In her latest play she is the "spinster" whom theatergeers have come to know and love. Blessed with family but lack of funds. Freedom Talbot becomes ehaperone to the daughter of a newly rich westerner and the contrasts between the woman of refinement and the girl is brought
 out in story that never lacks in in-
 terest.
 In deft and easy manner Miss Robson develops the comedy, which
 is never forced It is sincere enough
 to be intermingled with an occa- sional tear which makes it all tho more effective. The mannerism: which one has always associated witt
 Miss Robson-little movements of the hand, sudden twist of the head, in- factions of the voice-were delight ful to view and hear once more and the audience made its friendlines: toward it's favorite recognized in en- thusiastic applause and the more complimentary spontaneous laughter Margaret Borough as the girl sht chaperoned looked and played hel | part remarkably well while credit able performances were also giveI | by Edith Conrad, Henry Crosby, Rus
