When the world war broke out in
August. 1914. the rate was advanced
to 10 per cent. the highest in the
history OF the Bank of England, that
point having been touched on only two
occasions. during the panics of 1857
and 1865. After q few days. however.
1t was reduced TO 6 per cent. and later
TO per cent. II remained at that
point until about the middle of 1916.
when Il was advanced to per cent. but
is was lowered to per cent in April,
1917. On November G. 1919. it went
up to 6 per cent. where 1t remained

Cut FoliolDs ". Y. Reduction !:
Another Drop Expected.

LONDON. Nov. S.-The Bank of Eng
land this morning reduced its rate of
discount to 5 per cent from 5ia. The
last previous reduction was on July 81
last, when ii was cut from per cent.
20 51a. To-day's reduction was due
chiefly to yesterdays cut in the Federal
Reserve bank rate In New York.
The advocates of cheaper money here
have been agitating for a lowering o.
the bank rate as "a per cent figure.
for long time has been out of all
proportion to the money market rates,
but the bank authorities have main
tanned the rate In view of the German
financial outlook and the somewhat un-
certain political situation here.
Government financing, however. has
recently been assisted by large subscrip-
tions to Treasury bonds and large re-
payments have been made by the Gov
ernment to the Bank of England.
The reduction is expected in financial
circles to be followed soon by a fur.
ther cut.

Trades, cross defendants, as the out growth of a suit heard in the superior court last year under the title or the Arizona State bank and A. T.. LaPrade ys, the Crystal Ice and Cold Storage company, Dr. William G.. Lentz and A. T. LaPrade. The com plaint filed by pr. Lentz against the LaPrades set forth that Dr. Lentz had secured judgment on a note in a former suit against the father, F.. T. LaPrade, amounting to s15.000, plus the interest on the note involved, which brought the amount to sum in the neighborhood of $23,000. Dr. Lentz alleged that F. T. LaPrade, in order to avoid paying the Judgment and in order to defraud him, had transferred all his property, amount ing to approximately s100,000. to his son, A. T. LaPrade. Dr. Lentz asked that the transfers be set aside.
 The note upon which pr. Eentz se- cured judgment against A. T. La Prade arose out of the on-electric fan transaction, which was well known in Phoenix several years ago. LaPrade alleged that notes had been "switched' on him in this transac- tion. One case arising from the trans action, Dr. Lentz vs. Landers, which caused the supreme court to make some caustic comments on the non electric fan proposition.
 The father, F. T. LaPrade, is an old- time citizen of Winslow, Ariz., where he located in the early pioneer days, and has acquired considerable property. The only son, A. T. La Prade. is now practicing attorney in Phoenix

 More than 20 years later, in 1898. the same farmer appeared at the of flee of R. J. Kimball and company, which had succeeded the Kennedy firm. He made inquiry concerning reason for Lake Shore selling around $50. The late R. J.

NEVER HAS THERE BEEN N A TIME when the automo- bile filled the public need as it does today.
 Brought by manufacturers to an almost unbelievable point of efficiency, comfort and econo- my, the automobile represents today the best value, dollar for dollar, of any commodity or article of merchandise on the market.
 The rapid extension of com munity and family affairs ren- ders the ownership of an auto mobile of prime importance to the business man and his family. Increased opportunities for bus mess efficiency, health, recrea tion, education and enjoyment all are made possible by the ownership of a car.
 Conditions were never better for the purchase of a car than today.
 The cost of living is much low CT than one year ago, yet the majority of people are receiving as much or more for their labors than they did at that time. The return to normal is rapidly dawning, and with it prosperity. Just to the extent that we help along with the movement by buying what we need-just that much more quickly will we re- alize a full prosperity.
 Take advantage of the oppor- tunity and buy what you need now. If you haven't a car-get one now. Your dollar is worth one hundred cents full value at any dealers establishment.

 So his first holiday was spent talk ing up the carpets. The next day, when he had finished that back breaking task, she thanked him and gave him a carpet beater to use on the carpets.
 And two days later, when that was done satisfactorily, she told him to mop and varnish the floors, white wash the cellar and polish the fur niture.
 And on the remaining days of his vacation he was bullied into painting te garden fence, moving the lawn digging up and planting again all the plants and flowers and laying a ce- ment walk around the house. | Late in the afternoon of his last
