TREASURY OFFICIALS
 SEE IMPROVEMENT IN BUSINESS CONDITION
Republican A. p. Leased WIreJ


 WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Contin- ued improvement in business condi- tions, in this country and aboard. were foreseen yesterday by treasury of ficials. Discussing the worlds busi- ness outlook, they declared marked improvement could be seen and that although no immediate business boom could be forecast, slow but sure re- covery in conditions was to be ex- pected.
 Such improvement as has taken place, officials declared, has been due to natural causes and in the continued operation of natural read justment a general betterment would be experienced Improvement in for eign exchange, particularly the rise in the pound sterling, was cited as an example of improvement abroad and, it was said, that while the situation in many European countries was se- rious, it could not now be considered as desperate.
 In this country, officials asserted, clamor for assistance in the cotton sections had ceased, while efforts of the war finance corporation was be- lieved to be materially relieving con- ulIiOnS III lilS ctSsi1CuiLuIdl oi1 ilF0 stock industry. At the same time, it was pointed out, federal reserve rediscount rates and commercial rates had dropped, evidencing a bet ter feeling in the money market.
 Readjustment in prices and wages were given as some of the natural causes leading to improvement, but it was asserted, because of the fall ing prices, the purchasing power of the farming element had been greatly reduced
 Until this purchasing power re- covers. there will, in the opinion of officials, be no immediate or remark able business recovery, but 1t was asserted the gradual improvement in conditions could be expected to work itself out without the intervention of any unnatural agencies for stimu- liZatiOn.

3O-GALLON STILL IS
 SEIZED BY SHERIFF

One of the largest and most con- piete copper stills ever found in the county was taken yesterday after noon by Sheriff Montgomery and his deputies in a raid on a ranch rented by tw6 Italians one half mile west of the Coldwater bridge on the Buckeye road. The two men, Toni Biletta and Frank Vigna, were placed under arrest and brought to the sheriff's office. Biletta was placed in jail and Vigna, who was i'll, was taken to St. Joseph's hospital.
 About $50 gallons of corn mash were found concealed in an outhouse on the ranch and 3S gallons of "moonshine" whiskey were found buried in five kegs in various places on the ranch. The still, officers said, which has capacity of about 30 gall Ions day, was found set up in an old barn on the place. A large cook range furnished the heat for distill- ing the liquor and a large copper
 worm installed in a barrel condensed l the steam to liquid form. One large | barrel of mash was found hidden in
 a new cellar which had been dug un- | der the floor of the barn used as a | distillery. officers said. The floor
 was made of boards covered with | dirt, to represent dirt floor. The raid was made by Sheriff Mont 1 gomery and Deputy Sheriffs Smith, l Meeks and Dana.

S2,692,000 IN TAXES
 RECEIVED BY STATE

The first half of 1921 taxes col Iected by Raymond Earhart. State treasurer, amounted to $2,692, 226.33. final returns having been received from the different counties yesterday. The amount due was S3,031, ,i5s.49, making a delinquency of II per cent.
 Apache county, the last to forward its tax money, sent a check of S32.- 016.92, it's delinquency being one-half per cent, the smallest of any of the fourteen counties. The largest de- linquency was that of Maricopa county, its 341a per cent bringing up the total.
 According to Mir. Earhart, Cochise county collected more than the amount due for its first half of 1921
 taxes. the two per cent delinquency being accounted for by errors and exemptions which were deducted from the roll after it was certified 1 by the state tax commission.

 You advertised Arizona, and helped to put her on the map as she has never been put on before. The advertising that Arizona and the city of Phoenix received by the visit of the presidential invitation commit tee, representing more than 20 states, in Washington, is of untold value.

 The Put and Take game is an evo- lution of dice--a teetotem, or spinning die-and the game of dice is nearly coevaI with the creation of man.
 Probably the first game man ever played was odd or even" with a couple of sea shells. Next our shaggy forefathers began tossing the knuckle bones of animals-"rolling the bones," in fact. The spinning die came next and upon the sides were various notcheS or marks.

It is a three sided af- fair marked with notches instead of figures and probably interested the grown up boys and girls of that day as much as the little top of our own country and time does today.

CANDLES IN XMAS

Wherever possible electric light bulbs should be used on Christmas trees instead of candles, is the advice given by Fire Chief William Sim mons, who urges every precaution against fires during the holiday sea- son.
 Candles in Christmas trees caused three fires last year in Phoenix and many hundred fires, some having ia tai consequences, throughout the na- tion. In urging against the use of candles the chief also warns that cot ton and other inf aElniable material should be eliminated from holiday decorations and packing as much as possible.

TO ORGANIZE MORE
 LEGION AUXIL|kRIES

Start the New Year right by or ganizing an auxiliary unit in every American Legion post in the state is the suggestion of Mrs. D. A. Little, secretary of the auxiliary.
 There are at present IT auXiliaries, while two more will be added to the list if the applications for charters for Wilcox and Mesa are acted upon favorably. This is ony half the num- Der of posts in Arizona, according to Mrs. Little who is ambitious to see an auxiliary month until the num- Der reaches 3S.
 "We hope that every unit of the auxiliary will have as it's New Years resolution 100 per cent enrollments of mothers, wives. sisters and daugh- ters of the members of the Amer ican Legion" said Mrs. Little. Most of the units are planning member ship drives to start immediately after the election of officers early in the year. While every community will conduct it's drive for members in its own way, the state headquarters are offering the following suggestions:
 Write personal or mimeographed letters to every member of your legion post including application blanks. asking him to urge those euSlDle III LlS AttillAAy lO JSAAi gOuA unit.
