BUILDING FIGURES FEATURE KIWAN|S
 0PTOM|SM MEET

Featuring an Optimism Meeting" of the Kiwanis club yesterday by the presentation of facts and figures con- corning the progress being made in Phoenix at the present time, Leo Weaver, secretary of the Builders Exchange. delivered an informative address on what is being done here in the erection of new buildings. to- gether with a list of comparative prices here and oi the Pacific coast.
 Weaver's address had Sbeen de- livered a few days before at the Ro- tary club, and a full summary Of it was printed in The Republican of Saturday morning. It is of interest, however to consider that s976.000 is being expended now for new school buildings. or has been expended dur ing the last few months. To that sum must be added s460, 900 in other bond issues, the money from which will be available soon. Other build ings, public and private, which have been contracted for since the first of the year, amount to SLIPS, 900, with permits still keeping a better than general average.
 Charles F. Willis, editor of the Ari- zona Mining Journal, followed Weaver with another optimism talk, after which J. Oscar Sexson. secretary of the Y M. c. A. gave some facts con- cerning that organization which showed that it's finances have been coming in without any appreciable

MANY MAIL BOOST
 CARDS TO FRIENDS

Following in wholesale suggestions that have been made at various times in the past the Builders Exchange is mailing at least 100 boosts day to it's friends and associates in the east. The boosts consist of the lit- tie daily talks carried on the front page of The Republican, which are being printed by the chamber of corn- merce or small cards suitable for in- sertion with any kind of correspon- dence. AS pointed out by Leo Weaver, secretary of the chamber of commerce, the cards do away with the necessity of writing a letter, while they carry the message of Phoenix to the outside world in a very satisfactory manner.
 At the chamber of commerce it was reported yesterday that numbers of others are mailing out the cards, which are being carried by the cham Der for all those who wish to serve their city and state in this easy and inexpensive manner.

Hoover Explains Reason for Food
 Crisis In Russia

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-General decadence of agriculture, decay of transportation and a decrease of in
 dustry in general of over 90 per cent
 of the pre-war output, were held re-
 sponsible tonight by Secretary
 Hoover for the food shortage in Russia.
 The most acute famine area, he
 said in a statement describing the
 economic situation there, covers the
 Volga valley from the Caspian sea
 northward.
 The drought there, he added. would
 not be so fatal were it not for the re-
 duction in the surplus crops in other
 regions and the difficulties, due to transportation, of moving such sur
 pluses IS do exist. He cited reports showing the reduction of acreage un-
 der cultivation, varying from 100 per
 cent in the province of Kazan to only 5S per cent in Samara of the acreage cultivated last spring.
 Tabulating the percentages of in dustrial production during 1920 as compared with the pre-war output he showed the largest outputs of 20 per cent were in coal production and | the paper industry. They ranged down to 0.6 per cent in copper ore l out of 13 industries. Some stimula- ton to imports, he asserted, has been given by shipment of the former bank
 reserves of gold, but the total inn | ports from April 1 to May 15 were 1 less than 4 per cent of the pre- war average. while exports for April were one-twentieth of 1 per cent of the same pre-war period.

ME EX|CAN YOUTH. HIT, KILLED, BY SANTA F TRAIN

Tonacio Contreras, 12-year- old Mexican boy, was instantly killed yesterday morning when he was struck by the southbound Santa Fe passenger train. The accident oe- cured near the cotton gin east of Peoria a few minutes after the rain had passed through that town. The lads body was dismembered and hor ribly mangled.
 With his father, Juaquin Contreras, and two other Mexicans, Nacario Erealante and Laura Perez. the Spy was travelling cross country with
 wagon. The night before they had
 stopped by the roadside at point where the Peoria Glendale road runs i alongside the railroad, with only a
 narrow depression between.
 Shortly after the train had left
 Peoria about o'clock yesterday morning, en route into Phoenix, Will liam Pentland, the engineer, noticed dark shape lying motionless on the tracks ahead. The fireman saw 1t about the same time. and both thought it was a sack, or perhaps a bit of cloth. To one side of the tracks were three. Mexicans. It was only when the locomotive was within a few yards of the object that it | moved, and then Pentland saw it was boy. The engineer threw on his brakes. but it was too late. The boy
 seemed to raise his head as the en- zine struck him.
 The train was brought to stop l immediately and the body removed l from beneath a car. The head and | limbs had been severed by the wheels Coroner Jay Sigworth of Peoria wat notified and impaneled jury, whicf
 returned a verdict of accident. Every fact brought out at the in quest indicated that the boy had gone l to sleep on the tracks. and hac | awakened only when the train was
 rushing down upon him. His father and the other two Mexicans said the.
 had not noticed where the boy was and it had not occurred to them tha 1 he might be on the tracks. Pentland seeing the men so near, in turn never | thought of the possibility of the oo l ject on the tracks being a man.
 Little could be learned of the boy
 family, except that it lived until re 1 gently on West Hadley street nea' | Thirteenth avenue. The body wal | turned over to the county.

ANNOUNCE CUT IN
 PRICE IF GASOLINE

A reduction of two cents a gallon in the price of gasoline, effective this morning, was announced last night by the Union oil company of Ari- zona by H. F. Warner, district sales manager. The new price. which is expected to take effect at practically all filling stations in the city, will bring the retail price of gas down to 2S1a cents.
 The reduction announced by the Union Oil company is the third in the last three months, the original price being S5 cents a gallon. A re- duction announced in May brought the price down to 3115 cents. and another the first of June to 291z cents. Soon after, however, a state tax on gasoline became effective raising the price to 3015 cents. MT. Warner said last night that the reduction would go into effec throughout the state, brieging tht price at almost every point down tt approximately that in Phoenix.

HEARINGS HELD BY
 STATE TAX BOARD

Another series of hearings took place yesterday before the state board of equalization. At the first there appeared H. J. Duffy. chief clerk of the United Verde Mining company, to protest against the price of unsold copper as fixed by the state tax com mission, 15.7 cents, and suggesting a reduction to 13 cents. the market price of copper at the beginning of the year.
 The commissions figures were an average price of copper for the pre- vious year, ranging from IS cents a pound downward. Another matter brought up by MT Duffy was the designation in the assessment of the railway running from Jerome to Clarkdale, which appears as an ordi- nary railway. Er. Duffy desired that it might be designated as a plant road whose traffic was made up of the business of the mining company
 Sampel H Morris of the Miami Copper company appeared before the board asking for an increase of the factor of capitalization of that com pany to IS per cent instead of Is per cent.
 Fred Porter, of N. Porter & Sons, was before the board to protest i against the assessment of the stock 1 of merchandise of that firm at its market value at the time of assess ment, MT. Porter claiming a depre- 1 citation at that time.

AS A REFRIGERATOR
Planted Around Farm Houses IL Has
Been Found to Reduce the Tenn
perature Materially

Refrigerators indoors are common
enough, but It took the farmers in
the Southwest to devise one for out
door use.
A farmer who happened to plant a
large field of alfalfa south of the
farmhouse noticed during the hot
Summers that followed that his fam
lily did not suffer from the heat as did
the neighbors. The Thermometer
showed a temperature five % ten de-
gres in his favor.
Some n suggested that 1t might
be due to the alfalfa, tried the tenn
perature just north of other alfalfa
fields and found the same marked
difference. Now the farmers of that
region are planting alfalfa around
their dwellings and enjoy Summer
temperatures that make a trip to the
seashore needless, according to the
Golden Age.
AuC Sducc VI INC CoOlucSc VI Wiuup
passing over alfalfa fields is that the
plant absorbs much moisture. the
evaporation of which reduces the tenn
perature of the air and lessons the
Summer heat in the adjoining land
q which 1t blows.
The suggestion now is for farmers
that wish to profit from the presence
and the board money OF Summer va
cationists to combine the profit and
utility of alfalfa with higher rates
from hot-weather boarders attracted
by the GOODNESS OF the ten-acre re-
frigerator around the house.
Little by little men are beginning
to learn how Il utilize the means pro-
vided by a good Creator for their
comfort and well-being.
