ago. The garment industry has re-
vived wonderfully. Many lines Of
cotton goods are in very much better
demand than the trade bad foreseen.
Certain silk goods are actually scarce.
Now that carpet and rug manufac-
turers have been forced to lower
prices, improved absorption can be
expected.
Industrial wages have not been re-
duced as much as the general price
level has declined. or course, our
agricultural population, both in wheat
and cotton territories. are tempo
rarily suffering acutely because of
the terrific decline in their products.

greatly reduced costs and in time the
equilibrium will be restored. Mean
while, the farmer still has his pro-
ductive assets intact.

STEEL CUT TO BE KNOWN.

At last the United States Steel Cor

that Judge Gary should announce

Of the cut in steel products was an
announcement by the largest manu-
facturers of agricultural machinery
that their prices for next season
would be reduced.
Some casing of the burden imposed
upon commercial borrowers by banks

MRS. McLENNON WILL
LIKELY BE FREED OF
MURDER CHARGE

Mrs. Robert McLennon came up
yesterday from Holbrook, where the
grand jury the first called in Ma
vajo county since Arizona became a
state = was considering the charges
under which she was arrested last
July for the alleged murder of her
husband, Robert McLennon, railroad
man, who was found dead in bed, shot
through the head, shortly after Mrs.
McLennon had fled divorce suit
against him.
1t is understood that, while the
grand jury had considered the Mrs.
McLennon case, they had not reported
to the court on it, being busy on other
cases brought before them. But there
seems to be no doubt in Holbrook, nor
in Winslow, where the McLennon's
lived, that the grand jury will release
Mrs. McLennon.
G. B. Wilson of Flagstaff, the attor
ney defending Mrs. McLennon, and
who made short work of some of the
flimsy alleged evidence against her,
feels that there is no doubt at all that
her innocence was as patent to the
grand jurors as it was to him.
Mrs. McLennon says she expects to
close up her affairs in Winslow and
60 to California where her parents
are for rest. She has been stay
ing here some time during the last
few weeks, at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Wilson, taking care of the lat
ter during her recent illness.
Mrs. McLennon will be remembered
by many here as Miss Elsie Kinney.
She was here for several months pre-
ceding her marriage to McLennon,
having been manager of the local tele-
phone office until Mr.. Jeffery arrived
to take charge. G.l,

Spain, who had been her fathers bit
ter enemy for years, partly to spite
Mrs. Quayle's father, made her his
heiress. Arthur, to get out of the red
tape involved in claiming the heritage,
paid the old gentleman U. s. silver
dollar and the papers were thereupon
made out in due and binding form
without further waiting. 1t is no
small estate that Mrs. Quayle owns,
comprising $500 acres between the
seashore and mountains which at one
time was almost entirely planted in
coffee. But neglect during the revo-
luton resulted in the coffee trees be-
ing choked out. During recent years
the tenant. has been paying rent by
planting cocoanut trees and 5000 of
these trees will begin to bear next
year. There are two rivers running
through the plantation and Mr.. Quayle
believes that with the cocoanut trees
and sheep, which he fancies he will
try, he will make 60 of it.
