DEFLATION SHOULD UNIFORM

Is it natural, is it reasonable that prices of every thing, profits of manufacturing and farming should be de1lated and only rail road employees remain at the top figure of war prices?.
 When the farmers calfSkin has dropped from two dollars to fourteen cents, when the saw mill price of lumber has gone from forty dollars a thousand to thirteen, shall the brotherhoods be exempt?
 We do not blame them if by hook or crook or power of Con gress or wage boards or labor organization, they can keep their wages at the top notch, while all the rest of US go down to bedrock. But is it just pro position that one class alone should take no loss in the great readj to normality, and are we not setting g. dangerous class precedent if the country backs their demand?

MARICOPA BONDS SOLD.

Phoenix, Jan.-Three million dollars, resulting from the sale of Maricopa county bonds, are now on their way to Phoenix, according 10 word received by the Maricopa county highway commission today from Chicago.
 Transmission of the money was made possible last week by dismissal of the suit of John O.. Dunbar, of Phoenix, against the commission, the purchasers of the bonds and Chicago trust company to prevent the delivery of the bonds to the purchasers and the payment by them of the money to the commission.
 The bond issue was for $4, GOO, ,O0O, but $1 100000 worth of bonds had been delivered and the money paid to the highway commission before Dunber's suit was instituted. Dunbar had advocated bitulithic paving, while the county had adopted concrete He dismissed the suit ultimately because he said he did not wish to continue counter to expressed public sentiment.

GRAZING FEES POSTPONED.

Albuquerque. New Mex, Jan. -Postponement until August 1 of grazing fees due on National Forest permits has been granted by the Secretary of Agriculture. In a telegram to this effect re- ceived at the office of the Dis trict Forester for the Southwest ern District in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the additional informa- ton given was to the effect that this postponement was appli- cable for all grazing seasons be- ginning before July 15. The present critical financial condi- tion prevailing in stock regions is given as the reason for this postponement
 Due principally to increased administrative costs to handle this departure from the usual procedure, the Secretary has ruled in addition that one per cent will be added to present fees for each month or major fraction thereof of the period deferred prior to August l. The minimum amount of increase under this feature of the ruling will be one dollar.

CANNING AS AN INDUSTRY.

The canning industry makes a market for farm products and employs family labor.iu town.
 It is the one industry that helps build the community by circulating money for products and labor.
 It would take volume to show the change this industry has accomplished in the worlds habits.
 Before canning attained to proportions worth nothing man kind had plenty of vegetables and fruit in summer, but in winter in had to go without them, and suffer the discomforts attendant upon an unvaried diet.
 Ia addition to performing the important economic function of adding to the worlds food sup ply vast quantities of edible stuffs that would not have been produced, or would have been wasted, canning has relieved the season when fruit, aud veget ables do not grow of the deadly monotony of 8 diet of bread and meat.

RENT PROFlTEERING.

In many cities rents are still being advanced, and apartments have been advanced from ten to forty dollars a month.
 As the population increases and the housing problem remains unsolved rents are continually increased and who is to blame?
 The rent of flats is often jump ed up from S25 to $50 a month over night and it seems to be a continuous movement.
 The prices of lumber have come down, but other building materials have not come down and building trade wages are high as ever.
 Generally speaking there is no house building to speak of. Once in a while some carpenter or contractor with nothing to do builds to keep busy
 Rent profiteering has it's basis in the absurd idea that wages of building trade shall remain dOub ble or at war scale when in all other occupations labor is working for less.
 The ironclad law of the union that the poorest workman at any trade shall get the same pay as the best, penalizirg efficiency, and reducing hours and prOduc ton to a minimum is the real cause of rent profiteering.

WILL GROW GRAPES.

Tucson, Jan.-An increasing number of farmers near Tucson are taking keen interest Tn fruit and truck farming this year, according to c. B. Brown, county agricultural agent. Sev- eral will try grape growing.
 The farmers have learned that they must turn to intensified agriculture, because of the low markets for main crops, the agent says With truck and fruit they expect to find local market for much of their produce.
 They see good prospects in vineyards because they will bear the third year.
 Sweet grapes are being put out. Malaga, Thompson seedless and Emperor are the best varie- ties for this section.
 The county agricultural agent is offering the farmers every assistance possible in fruit and truck farming work. He is en- couraging them to vary their crop enough to take advantage of marketing conditions that may develop in the next few years. The majority of the farmers near Tucson who have gone in for small crops have made good profits when they gave careful atten ton to their work, it was pointed out Saturday.

FROM seo,oo TO INDePENDENcE

Perry J. Wilson returned from California Monday morning where he has been for the past several months. Mir. Wilson owns a fine farm out in San Ra- fael valley where he has resided for the past ten years. His farm is one among the best improved places in the country, and he claims that the land and all of the improvements have been paid for out of the fruits of the soil. Ia other words he began ten years ago with only sixty dol lars in money and today he is in dependent, and this independ- ence has been brought about en- tireIy through the dry farming" system. MT. Wilson says that dry farming in this part of Santa Cruz county is a success, and he ought to know for be has tried it out in most satisfactory way. What Mir. Wilson has done many others are doing. g.-Patagonian.

HOME PRIDE

There is not a citizen of Pata- gonia who is not proud of the enviable reputation of the place as one of the cleanest and pret- tiest little towns in the entire state. Every man and woman who lives here is glad to say with pride this is may home town" But it can be made pret- tier. There is still time enough to plant many more trees and everyone should begin at once to clean up their back and front yards and to make ready for planting vegetable and flower gardens-the more the better. When a man lives in a nice town and is not proud of his place of residence he owes it to the towns people to clear out and settle down in some community more to his liking. This is not saying that all citizens should be satisfied with all towns as they are. Far from so. The way to be proud of ones home town is not to close ones eyes to its bad features but to open
 
 their betterment. It is as much good citizen's duty to help other citizens keep the town clean and wholesome as to help his wife keep the children de- cent and respectful. A disor- ganized, quarrelsome town is like that kind of a family, and that kind of family is the kind with which hades is frescoed. If every prosperous citizen of a small town would resolve to lend his talent and means to the inn provement of his home commun- ity, instead of moving to the city for the enjoyment of the advant- ages he craveS, it would go very far toward staying the drift why Southern California is so captivating to the tourist? It is, for one thing, because the small towns there are beautiful. They are not overrun with weeds and wild grass nor dotted with rot ting outhOuses, nor marked with barb wire fences, nor distressed with unkempt lawns and careless back yards. Pride of home is a. ruling passion in rural Califor- mia therefore even the cheapest shack in the farm country looks like it had affectionate care. Yet it is not because all Californians are rich, but it is the basic wish of those who make California their home to make as nice homes as they ta1. It is no secret or patented process. Any town or any person may practice it. Let us all work together to the end that we may have little bit of California of our own right here in Patagonia.-Patagonian.

WANT MORE SESSIONS LAWS

Phoenix, Jan.-Secretary of State Ernest Hall Saturday said the supply of session laws of 1919 is exhausted and he would have to call on the legislature for an appropriation to have additional copies printed. He thought at least 3C0 copies would be needed, but that would de pend somewhat on whether the present legislature appointed a committee to revise and cOdify the sessions laws in 1923.
 Laws of the state are codified every ten years, but the secre tary pointed out that in order to have the work done in 1923, the legislature would have to ap the work. Otherwise, he said, the revision would have to be carried over for two years and an appropriation made to have additional copies of the 1917 sessions laws, as we'll as the 1919 laws, printed.
 Secretary Hall also stated there was an agitation in favor of compiling a blue book to in clude all state and county off cials. All previous blue books, he said, had been issued in pamphlet form aud the state thereby suffered in comparison with bond volumes issued by other states, containing pictures and descriptive matter iu addi- tiou to names and positions of officials.
 The secretary added that the expense of publishing former blue books in Arizona had been paid out of the contingent fund, |, but he said publication of the proposed volume would necessi tate a special appropriation.
 Tie pre- ent laws provide for distri button of the book to off cials only, but Hall said, he would ask that the regulation be broadened to include chambers of commerce and newspapers.

MOUNTAINS MOVING

The mountains of the coast range in the vicinity of San Francisco are moving slowly north ward, according to reports from Berkeley, Cal, dated Jan uary 25th, causing enormous earth strain and producing rebounds in one of which Mount Talmalpais jumped back 6.6 feet, according to Prof. A. c. Lawson. of the University of California. in geological bull letin made public on that date.
 Talmalpais moved northward ten feet between the years of 1851 and 1906, and then hopped back 6.6 feet in 1906, at the time of San Andreas slip which caused the great earthquake of that year, Professor Lawson asserted.
 Mount Hamilton, near San Jose, he said, moved northward at the rate of four feet from 1893 to 1903, but after a sudden shift in that year, continued at rate of 22 feet.
 Ukiah, according to the geolo gist, travelled northward from 1900 to 1917 at the rate of one foot a year, aud since, as it is not on the San Andreas fault on which the great slip of 1906 oc- cured, the town has held this gain.

considerable advertising in the papers
during the last ten days. Just how
much good it will do him will depend

salary than he has been receiving dur
