There's Nothing the
Matter With Business!

The real trouble is not with busi-
ness at ALT lies in the minds of
the people. For no apparent rea-
son at all, we seem to have changed
suddenly from optimists to pessi-
mists. And the queer thing about
it is that we do not know why we
changed.
Prices have broken" you say.
Well. did you not long and pray for
lower prices? You knew they
could not remain up where the war
forced them. So just what you
wanted to happen has happened
that's all.
But wages are being reduced,
too" someone chimes in.
Isn't that perfectly natural, too?
When prices went up. wages fol-
lowed. Wages must follow prices.
now as always.
If one-half the cost of producing
an article is paid for labor. then
isn't it clear that when the price of
that article is cut from 81 to 81. that
the labor cost can be only SOC. in
stead of 81. And don't forget that
when prices come down one-half, n
dollar Guys twice as much.
We are merely returning to old
time price levels in all lines. from
wages to limousines. Our dollars
are growing in value every day. We
are not hurt bit. if we only stop
to think.
When we recognize the truth. the
question of the day will change
from Whats the matter with bust
ness to did you ever see business
so good?"
Let's wake up out of our night
mare and go forging ahead again.

WOMAN, FOUND
 GUILTY, ID SERVE
 TIME IN D|NCY JAIL

Wheels of justice are no respector of class or creed, circumstance or en- vironment, in the grinding of the daily grist of police court matter. The grinding process of the law is machineli shorn of human emo tion, stripped of all that reflects tenderness or mercy. That much was demonstrated in the milling operations of yesterday.
 And because 1t is so with the courts and the law, A Provincial, a widowed mother. will suffer through 25 days of expectant motherhood an inmate at the city jail. During that period she must be confined in the dingy, darkened cell of the city hall base ment, nourished on the two-meals- a-day plan of city prisoners. Such are the physical facts attending a 25-day jail sentence pronounced by the court
 The woman had been summoned into police court in answer to a charge of violating a social ordi- nance. Standing by her side was a man, Elias Rodriguez. arrested with her at the time of a police raid on dwelling at 206 East Lincoln street Thursday night.
 Mrs. Provencia denied any wrong doing at that time and her testimony was substantiated. Three officers, who took part in the raid, told the court that they had found the man | and woman occupying the same room, with another man and woman. They were unable to testify as to any criminal act. however.
 | Questioned closely by the court, the woman denied she was guilty as charged. Officers admitted that they had no positive knowledge of guilt on her part. In response to a ques- ton by the judge, she told him that the three -year-old girl in court with her was legitimate offspring. Her husband, she said. was dead.
 The court found the couple guilty | of the charge. A S25 fine was i'm posed with the alternative of a 25- | day jail sentence. The woman an nounced her inability to pay the fine so she was remanded to a cell in the 1 woman's department.
 When officers went to take the | child from her. she broke down. Ii was several minutes before she re- gained her composure. Then she told a story of her fight for livli- hood.
 | A little more than a month ago l she said. she opened a restaurant on | South Second street. Customers were few and business did not grow as she had expected. Rent day came and she had no money for the land lord, she said. So she was forced out of business, unable to meet cur rent expenses.
 I Since that time, she told Officer Joe Balsz, she has made numerous | attempts to find work without sue. 1 cess

 l AND ARREST TWO MEN
 NORTHEAST OF CITY

Deputies from the sheriff's office met an old friend. o. l.. Jenkins, early yesterday morning when they made a raid on the Consolidated Mining company's property in the Mcdowell mountains, 43 miles northeast of Phoenix. After they found two com plete stills, 25 gallons of first run "moonshine" whiskey and three bar rels of mash, they arrested Jenkins and Dave Faulkner as the operators of the liquor plant and brought them to the county Jail.
 Armed with a search warrant Dep uty Sheriffs Ernest Smith, R. M. Price and Sterling Price left Phoenix about II o'clock Thursday night Early yesterday morning they made the raid. The large still made from sheet iron capable of holding 50 gall Ions of mash. the officers, said was set up at the mouth of the mine tunnel. The smaller still. made from copper wash boiler. and the liquor and the mash were in the tunnel.
 In May police officers arrested Jenkins as he was driving away from 1917 Montezuma street as the oper- ator of a small still found in the house at that number. When con- fronted with the still. the officers said, Jenkins claimed it was the first he had ever seen. Later, Jenkins of- fered to plead guilty in the superiot court if the judge would let him off with fine of s100. the officers said | Receiving no encouragement from the judge Jenkins stood trial in June and was found not guilty by a jury Faulkner was released from the county jail several weks ago after l serving a sentence for making intoxi- eating liquor.

After spending 10 days at Camp Apache near Payson where more than 150 Boy Scouts swan, dived cllmed bmountains, and indulged in all sorts of sports and recreation without single accident. one of the four trucks bringing the boys home overturned on Friday while between Payson and Roosevelt, causing the fracture of the arm of Walter Brim- hill of Mesa and slight injury to two others, also of Mesa.
 Word of the accident was received yesterday at the offices of the state game warden. hTe father of the Bramhill boy was stated to be the driver of one of the big trucks.
 The accident occurred, it is stated. while the car was proceeding down OK Bow hill, a pin holding the drive wheel coming out. making the car uncomfortable. Other trucks were immediately sent to their assistance : and the trip home was resumed with little delay.
 This was the only accident attend ing the outing of the Scouts at Camp Apache, nor was there any case of illness. considered to be a remark able record considering the large number of boys at the camp.
 The Boy Scouts broke camp. seven miles north of Payson, on Wednes- Qdy, gong tO Fay SOn where they dt- tended the annual rodeo. They started the homeward trip Friday morning and it is expected that they will reach their homes this evening or on Sunday morning.
 The returning Boy Scouts expected to reach Roosevelt last night where camp was to have been made, the journey resuming this morning by way of Globe and the Superior Mesa highway.
 The boys will have many fine stories of camp life to tell when they reach their homes. Every day was a big one, full to the brim with events dear to the heart of Young America. Although there were more than 150 Boy Scouts at the camp there was not the slightest friction, 1t is reported by the scout masters, every boy implicitly obey ing the few rules and doing his part in making the outing one of the big gest and finest ever held in this section.

WALL|NCFORD GOT
 HIS IDEAS THERE?

In the opinion of Oscar Zapf of the state corporation commission, J. Ru- fus Wallingford must have occupied at some time a position similar to one he holds in the commission un- der whose eyes must pass the various projects which promoters have put forward for acquiring sudden wealth for themselves and those who take their advice.
 What makes MT. Zapf think this, IS the impossibility for any one man to devise as many schemes as MT Wal Iingford's fertile brain seems to nave given birth. He could have ohly thought of them when they were brought under his notice by very large number of proposers.
 Yet, said Mir. Zapf, there are Ie" propositions presented to the com mission which bear surface mdica- lions of fraud Though comparative ly few of them succeed, that may pe traced either to a lack of funds to carry them out or else to bad man .Eement on the part of the provo

SCOTTSDALE, Aug. 19. - The ScottsdaIe district has been fortunate this season in escaping serious in tury to crops from insect pests. Dur ing the melon season the aphis did little damage until the season was about closed. The cotton boil worm did not do more than one-fourth per cent damage to the cotton crop. The alfalfa butterfly that used to be a familiar sight flying over the fields in clouds when most of the district was in alfalfa is seldom seen now. The corn ear worm did some damage the first part of the season, but as most of the corn planted was of the tight kusk variety their activity was

Home is so lonely now,
We miss her everywhere,
But we believe she is resting up
home and quietly reckoning for
us to come.
In our quiet little grave yard
There is a new made mound,
And the form we loved so dearly
Has been laid beneath the
ground.
But up yonder in the portals,
That are shining ever fair,
Our dear friend now is sheltered
/ BY savior's loving care
So we'll do | remember,
Sweet moments of the past,
The night of her death
When she called me last.
She seemed so patient and so
sweet
We feel she is now at rest
And trust with her acme day to
meet
And there with her be blest.
Jesus takes our loved ones young
and dear
But yet we know not why
Tho it may be to draw us
Near to aim beyond the sky
A friend,

IN MEMORIAM

On the bright and beautiful
morning of May 25th, 1921, the
death angel visited the home of
Mr.. Will Harris, of HOLSTER, and
took away his dear wife. She had
been afflicted with rheumatism
for several years, and had been
confined to her bed for nearly
two years. Everything that
loving hands and great physicians
could do was done, but seemed
TO no avail, for God saw fit to
take her away. Funeral services
were conducted at Harris Chapel
Baptist church, by her cousin,
Rev. Walter Bobbitt, of Littleton.
And her remains were laid to
rest in the cemetery. She leaves
behind to mourn their loss,
heart broken husband, two daugh.
tiers, and three sons all of whom
are married and q host of relatives
and friends. Though weak in stat.
ure the picture of patience anC
faithful lness was still on her face
We are reminded of the passage
of scripture which says: BE We
also ready, for in such an hour
as We thinketh not the son of
man cometh. " And while our

flowers that wither in a day, or
