The movement Is regarded by
the Times correspondent as far
more serious than mere reaction
OF the German population against
the insurgents. He asserts that
the inter-allied commission was
unable TO prevent the outbreak OF
fighting and is just as powerless
to intervene. Apparently the Ger
mans have regular army reserves
at their disposal.
The Polish insurgents, accord
ing to the dispatch, have been
steadily consolidating their POSI-
tion and extend their control over
the industrial districts OF Silesia.
They are reported to have succeed
ed in starting work again In mines,
foundries and factories and are
squeezing the allied authorities
out of the towns they still occupy
in order to complete their hold on
the railway between Kattowitz
and Gleiwitz.
Every sort of pressure is being
employed to compel the surrender
OF these two important towns. No
food is being allowed to enter
them hut as this has not proved
effective. the water and electricity
supplies of Gattowitz were cut off
yesterday.

BIG BULL SNAKE IS WORTH
$3.50 A MONTH TO FARMER

MANHATTAN, Kan, Aug ia
~full-grown bull snake in a Kansas
alfalfa field is worth at least s2.5o
a month TO the farmer on whose
land he lives.
This is the statistical dedication
of experts at the Kansas state agri-
cultural college here. They arrive
at 1t in this way:
There are on the average six
gophers to the acre and they dam
age the alfalfa crop to the extent of
about $3.50 n month. A bull snake
of this kind can keep an acre free.
The calculations are those of F.
l.. Hisaw, mammalogist at the COL
lege. and j. b. Rogers of its zool-
ogy department.
"A full grown bull snake" SAYS
Mr. .Hisaw, =" is capable of eating
all the gophers or an acre of alfalfa
in n month and during the six
warm months Of the year Is able 70
clear six acres.
alfalfa growers should take Sc
rious thought of the economic I'M
rortance of these harmless snakes
BY protecting them a great deal of
time and money can Re .aved in
trapping and poisoning gopnars and
other rodents.
1.-THE bull snake feeds IN rates
and mice when around the barn or
granary. The only return he asks
for his loyal and valuable. service
is the right to live an undisturbed

They Must Decide Whether Women
Shall Become Deacons, Assembyq
Decides.
Winona Lake, Ind, May 26.--Scrip-
tural quotations were passed back and
forth today as the commissioners to
the 133rd general assembly of the
Presbyterian church in the United
States attempted to establish how
much Of part women are to be given
! in ecclesiastical government, A dcci-
Presbytcries of the church to take a
| referendum vote on the question OF
! allowing women to be Installed as
deacons, an Office hitherto held only
by men. The vote will be reported
at the net general assembly.
The proposal that women be permit
ted to fill the Office OF deacon brought
! a protest from Reverend Abraham, of
Chester, Penn. Elc quoted from the
book Of Acts, in which he said the
! twelve apostles, in calling for the ap-
pointment Of deacons, gave this in
| junction to the disciplcs: Look we
out, therefore, tbrethren, from among
seven men OF good report, full of the
spirit and wisdom you may appoint
over this business"
''We have this for or guard, breth-
ren," declared Reverend Lathom, land
l believe we should stick pretty close
to the Good Book"
A generous round Of applause greet
cd this quotation, but Immediately
there was counter"Quotation from a
commissioner who found his inspira-
tion in the book of Romans. He quot
ed: II commend unto you, Phoebe,
our sister, who IS deaconess OF the
church that Is at Conchreae, that We
receive her in the Lord, worthily of
the saints. and that yc assist her in
whatsoever matter she may have need
OF you. For she herself also hath been
the helper Of many and of mine own
| self"
Cheers greeted the quotation and n
tribute by Reverend David Hughes of
Baltimore, to the deaconess in his
church, brought ringing shouts Of ap-
probation.
The vote followed authorizing the
referendum vote on the granting of
the additional power to women in the
church government. Last year a
PresbyteMal vote on an overture op-
posing a change in the constitutional
government of the church SO that wo-
men might be eligible to vote the
Offices of elder and deacon showed a
defeat for the overture.

COMPETITION IN FARM LOANS

1t is a sound maxim that a
monopoly or exemption from tax
alton for any one class does not
produce efficiency in finance or
government.
The constitutionality of the
Federal Farm Loan Bank Act is
awaiting a decision before the
Supreme Court of the United
States, on the question of ex-
empting the bonds from taxation.
Federal and state farm loan
bonds are exempted from taxa
ton but private loan companies
and bond of farm loan mortgage
banks and associations are taxed.
This works a hardship on all
banks and farm loan corporations
that are taxed on their capital.
With the tide of investments
in non-taxable securities growing
every day and excess profits and
income taxes dwlndling, where
are the revenues of the govern
ment to come from?

IN DRESSY GOWNS.
Silver and Gold More In Favor
Than Ever Before.
Growing Trend Toward Glitter
Reaches Fuller Expression Than
In the Past.

The first formal functions Of the
winter season are bringing out oil
sorts of new creations and ideas In
the way of 'dress up" dresses. And
II does seem as though this season Is
presenting more opportunity for the
display of this sort of attire than has
any season for many years.
Silver and gold for evening clothes
are possibly more In favor than ever
before This trend toward glitter has
been growing, but this season II has
reached a fuller expression, 1t seems,
than in the past. Not only are cloths
of silver and gold prominently to be
noted. but there are gold and silver
laces on almost every new evening
gown. Sometimes there are only lit
tie spots of this material used, more
as an accent then, again, there are
whole wide capes that swing over one
side and completely veil the whole OF
that portion of the garment. Again,
there are skirts of the metal-em-
broidered laces with little fitted bod
ices of a mere strip of velvet or satin
or taffeta to complete the symphony.
Net embroidered in silver and net en-
broidered in gold are favorite sorts
Of handmade laces which again and
again make their appearance on the
newest of evening gowns. And then
there are the silver and gold en-
brolderies applied straight TO the ma
terials from which the gowns are
made They are particularly effec-
tive when stitched to velvet for then
the metal threads sink below the pile
OF the fabric and gllsten through In
most fascinating way.
The note of silver and gold and gilt
ter comes again into prominence with
the headdresses now so much In vogue.
There are the little gold gauze caps.

ed around the whole coiffure, yelling
but not in the least hiding the beauty

as though this were an impossibility,
but they do 1t just the same, and
the effect is about the most attrac-
tive that can be imagined, For dane

purpose, but for all other occasions

they bid fair to be part Of the sea-

ARIZONA SEES TAX DANGER

The governor of Arizona makes
a level headed statement when he
recommends the amendment OF

He favors a reconstruction of
state departments, eliminating
obsolete offices and agencies, f"
and consolidating others, thus
fixing responsibility on the gov

heads.
Arizona is awakening to the
necessity of reducing its over

The most pronounced tendency Of

HOW THE CHRISTMAS CLUB
CHANGED A MANS WHOLE LIFE

In one of the big cities, a car
penter stood on street corner.
He had a nickel and a thirst,
Just as he was about to spend
his nickel for something to drink.
he saw sign in the bank win
dow which stated that he could
open a bank account with 5 cents
and that if he would increase his
deposit only five cents each week
for a period of fifty weeks, he
would have $69. rs the following
Christmas.
He took a drink of water which
cost him nothing, then he went
into the bank and joined the
Christmas Banking Club. This
man had never saved any money
in his life. Just starting a bank
account with this nickel changed
the course of his whole life. He
quit drinking, he worked every
day and very soon he had three
other men working for him. At
the end of three years, he had a
little business Of his own and had
in the bank which had the sign
in the window, over SO, 10000.
Every man, woman and child
in our midst can go into the Ari-
zona Trust and Savings Bank
and receive free of charge a neat
little Christmas Club bank book !;
without any dues to pay, can
join the new Christmas Club
they are now forming. This bar k
takes pleasure in starting people
of our community into the bank
ing habit, which is one important
stepping stone in life's success.
If you will sit down and figure,
you will be amazed at how much
you will:have next December if
you start in a Christmas Club
now with only l cent, 2 cents, 5
cents or 10 cents, increasing your
deposit the same amount each
week. Well, don't go to the
trouble of figuring tive will
tell you what it will amount to.
The ! cent club pays $12.75, the
2 cent club pays $25.5 the 5
cents club pays $69.75 and the
10 cents club pays $127.50.
Club members can also deposit
either 25 cents, 80 cents, S1.00,
$500, $500, $1,000, $4,000 or
more regularly each week.
This plan is small enough for a
wage earner's baby and offers a
means of declaring equal divi-
dends to big business men.
You can either draw out all or
part of this money next Christ
mas, or if you desire, leave a
part or all of it remain in the
bank.
We wish that every man, wo-
man and child in our midst would
join the Christmas Club as it
would make this community a
thrifty community.
