 Some History!
 There is history that goes with Chaplin's well-known shoes. From the best auth ority and that is Charlie himself. the shoes were first walked in the first day he made his debut in the motion picture world. Since that time these same shoes have been soled thirty-seven times; heeled forty eight times; patched three hundred and seven times and they have boast ed of scores of shoe faces.

The reason is that his an- atomy is now too precious to risk fur ther and doubles are used.

Week in Phoenix, and that way has been agreed upon.
 All woodwork is in white, and the lighting effects have been worked out in a manner most pleasing to the eye. At one end of the tent large stage is erected and a runboard traverses the entire length of the tent, thus af fording novel facilities for staging entertainment features.
 4 small entrance fee will be charged, and the revenue from this source, as well as from the sale of booth space, it is expected, will go a long ways toward defraying the oN penses of bringing this special equip ment and expert management to Phoenix.
 All of which means that Phoenix is to have a real industrial show, clev- erly staged, and one which will ranl. with any expositions of the kind which have been put on anywhere in the Southwest.
 To carry out the plans on this scale and to defray advertising, lighting and other incidental expenses, it will be necessary to raise a fund of SIP, 800 and the big money getting campaign will be launched today. Everything g now depends on the success of this campaign. Subscriptions will be so- licited with the understanding that upon the close of the exposition the net revenue will be prorated among the. subscribers in the form of divi- dend checks.
 Industrial Week Is not planned as a money making event, and hence 1t is not expected that the dividends will exceed the amounts subscribed At the same time, it is pointed out under expert management the show stands good chance of paying back a considerable portion of these

CHANGE PLANNED IN

Francis Veile. representing the "a vapai County Chamber of Commerce, was in Phoenix yesterday for a con ference with Thomas Maddock, state enginer, relative to the advisability of changing federal aid project No. 36 in order that the road might enter Gurley street and the military reser- vation, or Fort Whipple hospital, in- stead of the present location down by the railroad tracks.
 It is held that the proposed route is the better one. due to the fact that it will pass the most attractive residential section.
 Colonel Stanley, in command of the fort, has looked into the proposed route and has advised the state engi- neer that he will recommend it's con- struction to the war department
 F.. s. Wheeler, district engineer. has approved the plans and specifications of the project, contingent on the war department granting permission to go through the reservation. It is not believed that there will be any diff culty in securing the permission of the department, owing to the present routing being on reservation land.

and farm loan associations through out the nation have had their alIot- ments cut to the lowest possible figure.
 The local association has been al- lowed, during the past six months. only about s40,000 Because of the huge total desired by farmers, the of- ficers have been compelled to uSe a great deal of tact. and to allow loans only where there was imminent dan ger of applicants being foreclosed or otherwise suffering heavy financial losses.
 Now this will be changed and the secretary asks all who de to get in communication with him at the earliest possible moment A meeting of the board of directors Of the association will be held sometime during the latter part of next week, and applications, in order to receive prompt attention, should be filed with him not later than the goth of the month.
 Loans now are based on the 33-year amortization plan and the rate of in

FEDERAL LAND BANK BOND MARKET GOOD
 COURAC|NC NEWS

BUCKEYE, Oct. 12.-The most en- couraging financial news heard here in many months is contained in a let ter just received from the Hon. Wit lard D. Ellis, president of the Federal Land bank of Berkeley. Cal. ad- dressed to the secretary treasurer ot the Buckeye National Farm Loan as sociation. This letter is an fndica- tion not only that prosperity Is re- turning. but that it has actually ar rived. To quote from the communi- cation:
 An offering of Federal Land bank bonds was made Oct 8. The bond market is much better now than 1t has been for the past six months.
 If the association will exercise care in selecting applications, we be- lieve that we shall be able to close most loans applied for. You are therefore authorized to send all ap- phcations you have at once. and to continue taking applications until you are further advised
 ''No loans for speculative purposes. no matter how good the security, will be considered. Neither will the bank consider loans to individuals living remote from the security offered.
 Take care of the actual farmer and then only for purposes strictly within the law"
 This is the first time in years that the local secretary treasurer, or any other similar officer in the country has received authority to tansmit any considerable number of applications with the hope of having them favor ably acted upon. In fact. since the final decision of the United States supreme court, rendered early last spring, which declared the farm loan act constitutional. sale of federal land bank bonds has been so sluggish that l funds have been decidedly limited

His services and that of a staff of 30 experts will be placed at the disposal of the committee for a stated sum.
 This arrangement was entered into after numerous other plans had been considered The price asked com pares favorably with the expenses in cured in automobile shows held during recent years and the arrange ments will have a distinctive advan- tage in that the booths are placed and no extra work will be required on the part of exhibitors.
 Messrs.

 Loans heretofore made through the Buckeye association range from $40 to s1O0 per acre for the lands pledged.
