UP AGAINST A WALL.

1t is doubtful if any country
has ever faced greater obstacle.
and difficulties in readiustine
itself to normal conditions fol,
lowing a. war than we are ex-
periencing in the United States
today.
Everyone admits that a read
| justment is vitality necessary,
but apparently everybody ex-
poets everybody else to take the
plunge first.
Labor strenuously objects to
reduction in wages until liv-
ing expenses have been mate
rally reduced.
Manufacturers and dealers,
not forgetting the rent hogs, OBJ
ject to a reduction in their pri-
ces until after labor is down.
Each side is suspicious of the
other and neither is willing to
take a chance and trust to the
other to follow.
Then there is just the plain
profiteer and gouger, and he is
numerous. He objects to a
reduction under any considera-
ton. He wants his pound of
flesh and will take the whole
carcass if given an opportunity.
And there you are.
To a certain extent there has
been a general downward trend
in many commodities, but it is
Insignificant in proportion to
the climbing of prices since
1913.
No doubt the situation will
work itself out in time, and
there will be no material hard
ship in the meantime, but it
will not be an easy matter nor
will the time be calculated in
weeks or months.
All we can do is to hope for |
the best and each do his own /
best.
Honesty, efficiency, perserv-
erance and frugality will do
much.
Complaining will avail us

If you would increase your
happiness and prolong your life,
forget your neighbours faults.
Forget the SANDER you have
heard. Forget the temptations
Forget the fault-finding and r'~e
a little thought to the cause
that provoked it. Forget the
peculiarities of your friends and
only remember the good points
that make you fond of them.
Forget all personal quarrels or
histories that you may have
heard by accident, and which if
repeated would seem a thousand
times worse. Blot out as far
as possible the disagreeable
things of life they will come;
but they will only grow larger
when you remember them, and
the constant thought of the acts
Of meaness, worse still, malice
win only tend to make you more.

everything bad from yesterday,

sweet memory's sake only those
things that are lovely and love.

MISSION PLANS B|G CHRISTMAS TREAT
 TOPOOR IF PHOENIX

In keeping with it's policy "to do all the good you can, as aften as you can, to everybody you can" the First Pentecostal Mission, located in the Republican building at Second and Adems streets. plans to give big Christmas treat to the hungry of Phoenix on the night of December 26 beginning at : o'clock.
 Arrangements are being made to serve several hundred hot sand wiches, candy, nuts and fruit at the close of a short program which will be rendered by the Mission Sunday school. Helpful talks will be made by the pastor and other ministers, setting forth the true spirit of Christ mas.
 The public is cordially invited to cooperate with the Mission people in their endeavor to bring joy and glad ness to many otherwise Respondent hearts. Christmas is usually time of festiyity in the major part of the homes. Yet, in every city at this time there are always a number who are more or less unfortunate, which in a measure robs those who do have a-plenty of the full enjoyment of their blessings until they know that the unfortunate are being helped too. It is to do their part in this good work by providing channel through which material blessing can flow to humanity that the First Pen tecostal Mission maintains a welfare department.
 The Thanksgiving day service was a wonderful success and more than 200 partook of the feast of good things which was so generously given and prepared by the friends of the work, including the Arizona Packing company, Bayless Baking company and the Southwest Flour and Feed company.
 If there are those in the city who are interested in making the coming Christmas a happy occasion and would like to help in some way they are requested to call 4029.

NOTES FROM CLASS AND CAMPUS
 OF PHOENIX UNION HIGH SCHOOL

Have you eveI. <heard of a captain being chosen with a lucky flip of q coin? Henry Millage, the star full back, will lead the Coyote football team in the 1922 grid season. For two weeks the team has been trying to elect a captain, but there seemed to be a deadlock. Bill Doyle and Farmer" Village, among the most popular men on the team, were nom mated for captain. Each time the votes were cast there was a tie. It was suggested that Coach Robinson flip a coin to decide who should lead tile team through next years bat ties. The proposition was accepted. The first flip went to Doyle and the next two went to Millage.
 The high school was practically turned over yesterday to the upper classmen. Everywhere yells could be heard from groups of enthusiastic students. Both junior and senioT. girls displayed their class oolors. The junior girls wore hats made from orange and purple crepe paper. The seniors wore hair ribbons made from gold and white, their class colors. But the boys take the cake" they were dressed in all the different ways imaginable. Some were clowns, hoboes, preachers. cooks, gentlemen and rough necks in general.
 The report cards came out last Wednesday with surprises for many.

Last term many were heard to say: I'll have to turn over a new leaf ," But many of the teachers doubt whether they did. The student and the teacher by now know each other a little better than they did the first term.
 The periods were shortened yester- day and school let out at to see the big pushban contest staged on the athletic field. Many people from the city turned out to see the annual junior senior clash that proved to be full of excitement and thrills from start to finish. Neither class was able to make q goal with the huge ball making it according to the rules a draw. The juniors had the ball in the seniors territory most of the time. There were very few pen alties, both teams fighting consist ently. Captain Millage, Wartman and Davis played an exceptionally good game for the seniors. Bill Doyle, Phil Pendelton and Melvin Goodson starred for the juniol.s. As a result of the contest it was understood be- fore the game that if neither team scored the side having the ball in their opponents territory would be given a picnic The juniors will be given the picnic in the near future.
 The teachers volley ball team that is being organized is coming along in first class order. You better watch for the teachers first game.

we'll qualified speakers. Col. J. II McCHntock and Attorney E. E Marks will speak of the value of auto camp parks. George Todd will discuss parks for athletics, and parks as memorials. Prof John D. Loper will give a general description of the parks of Phoenix
 It is expected that the discussion will bring out the general value of parks to the community, both of parks for playgrounds and recreation centers and auto camp parks for auto travellers.
 A proposal to make a memorial park to the memory of Frank Luke. Jr., has been under discussion for some time. and the coming town meeting will likely bring out consid- erable comment in regard to this proposition.
 An athletic park is needed, as has been shown by some recent events, and this in itself is an important phase of the park question which merits considerable attention.

 Chairman Penrose of the senate committee plans to confer soon with leading Republicans of the house ways and means committee. He said today he had heard much favorable comment on the presidents sugges- tions.
 Senator PenrOSe expressed the opinion that careful thought would have to be given to the manner of delegating authority to the president to change the rates or proclaim American valuation as the basis for assessing dues as changing condi- tions might warrant.

Republican A. p. Leased Wlrel

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Dec. B. Four of the six bandits who robbed a branch of the Grand Rapids Saving bank of $14, 900 yesterday, shot and killed one police officer and seriously wounded another last night when the officers broke into a house in the outskirts of the city in which the bandits were hiding.
 Following the shooting the police reserves were hurried to the house with orders to storm it, but the bandits. accompanied by a woman, had escaped in an automobile before they arrived. Part of the loot, which consisted of currency and bonds. were abandoned when the banditA fled the house.
 The dead officer is Gerrit Brands ma patrolman. Samuel Salter, a police lieutenant. was shot through

 Aid of state troops and police of all surrounding cities and towns has been enlisted in the search for the bandits who are reported to have abandoned their automobile outside the city and boarded an interurban train.
 The escape from the besieged house was the second time they had been near capture since the holdup. In fleeing fro1l the bank this aft ernoon, their automobile, driven at high speed, crashed into a freight train at the Hall street crossing and was wrecked. The bandits crawled from beneath the wreckage and communicated another machine, fore ing the owner to drive them in the direction of Lansing.
