Preparations Are Being Perfected for Grand Time Next June at Golden Gate City.
INCLUDES HAWAII VOYAGE
Sunny Jim McCandless to Pay Expenses to and From Honolulu;
 K. of C. Co-Operates.

Brady Howard, worshipful master of Mount Mckinley lodge, No. 1S3, F. and A. M., said today, in reply to an inquiry, that all the Alaska Masons were interested keenly, of course, Tn the grand conclave of the Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine at San Francisco in June, and especially in the unexampled voyage of thousands of them to Hawaii at the conclusion of the convention, but that everyone here will be so busy about that time the delegation will be limited to few persons.
 MT. Howard himself is going, he said, if circumstances possibly will permit.
 The June convention will be unpre- cedented as to numbers attending, ir cluding Masons and their wives and daughters, and also as to side trips and the ocean voyage. All the official delegates will be guests of Sunny Jim" McCandless of Honolulu, noml- nee-apparent for the exalted position of Imperial Potentate of the Order. He will pay all expenses of the dele gates from the time they leave the Golden Gate on the Shriner flagship until they return a month later. Thousands of Masons will go on other vessels of large fleet that is now being chartered for the purpose. MT. McCandless is a we'll known multi millionaire, who, together with his two brothers, developed the water supply of the islands and for many years en- gagged extensively in the development of sugar and pineapple plantations.

ON WANTING THINGS
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright 1921. by Frank Crane)

One is little tempted sometimes to resent the SEN
tentious person who delivers himself Of the dictum:
"Want thing enough and you will get It,
1t seems like lifting ones self up by the boot straps,
and sounds like some of the popular new religious cults
But there is some intelligent content to the state
ment If we will put it little differently and say:
"Know what OF want and then want it" it might have
more sense to it.
In fact, history bears this out.
Scientifically stated, it is found in the declaration
that function precedes faculty" That MEANS that as
matter of fact in the order Of evolution creatures did
things before they were able to do them and became
able to do them only because they kept trying.
In the history of progress inventions have usually
followed the desire and need of them.
World power is measured rather by what it wants
to do than what it do.
The League of Nations is no new idea, nor is that
of universal peace 1t has been lurking in the human
race for many generation.
The Holy Roman Empire was League of Nations,
and theoretically it stood for universal peace. AS
matter Of fact the Holy Roman Emperors spent their
time whetting their swords and strutting in their i'm
perial jack-boots Whereat the Holy Roman vasSals
would cheer in one language and go out and murder
the people who spoke another language. n
We speak Of the Invention Of printing But any
body might have printed from the time the first coin
was struck in antiquiyt. The process was familiar
William the Conqueror, being busy man, could
not always find time to lay down his sword and meH
wax lead to give authority to his conquerng edict
So he sreared little ink his seal and stamped it
on the document
In other words, he was carrying on the printing
business in the eleventh century.
1t was only when in the course of time people
generally wanted printing bad enough that Coster andS
Gutenberg went to work and printed Prtng had been
done three four hundred years before in Europe and
much longer ago in the Orient.
The new and significant fact about their work
was that people wanted it.
Horace Bushnell once preached a sermon entitled
DUTY Not Measured by Ability" In fact, duty is
measured by conscience. And likewise mans eff
cheney is measured by his wanting power.

woman needs, so that she will see
them and buy them in passing.
Despite her greater determination
and resourcefulness as a shopper, 1t
cannot be said that the woman comes
off much better than the man in the
buying Of ready to- wear clothes. On
the other hand, women's clothes gem
orally seem to be little higher than
mems. There are two principal rea-
sons tor this. In the first place,
woman Is good deal more a slave to
fashion than man. She must have
the latest thing right away, no matter
what it costs. Likewise the merchant
must sell the latest thing while IL Is
still late, or never. What is left over
is mostly loss. So he has TO charge
a high price.
Men's styles in suits change every
year, but there are few men who hes
itate to wear a suit three years old If
it is still in passably good condition.
Men who buy tailored clothes usually
have them cut by the same patterns
year after year. The tailor may in
troduce some minor changes as a con-
cession to fashion. but the average
man is a conservative in that matter.
Furthermore, If the price is too high,
a man will not buy at ALL He will
make the old suit do. But not so
woman. She must have new one.
There are many different factors In
the making of high retail prices, but
mans laziness and woman's vanity
are undoubtedly two constant ones.

The Real Message

Six thousand copies OF the Midwinter Edition
of The Republican that is, the 5000 in excess Of
the 1900 which went to the regular readers of The
Republican have gone going beyond the
state-into all the states of the union. 1t is safe
to that each of these copies will be brought to
the attention of ten readers Those who receive them
will be SO surprised at such emanation from the
sage brush" that they will show it to their neigh
bors Then several hundred Of the papers regular
subscribers will be mailed beyond the state, in add-
tion other hundreds of subscribers who live outside
the state. Thus we may safely estimate that $4,000
people outside of Arizona will copies the Mid
before borne by special edition. The
sage Is not merely of information about the
material of community; not of its condi
tions of climate, schools churches and its social
activities. or all this information is there
at first hand. furnished by men and women who
know.
The is found not alone there, but also
and confidence at time when in other parts Of
the country there is so much Of doubt and
tanty.
Such confidence exist only on knowledge Of
sound basis. That will appeal strongly to
strangers than all the. roseate description which
could be given Of local conditions; than all the pic
lures which could be thrown together.
Here is the optimism OF action and not Of words.
Here is notification the world that whatever may
be conditions elsewhere there is neither doubt

rather anomalous situation is which was
brought the in the dispatches yesterday NOR
ming on account OF the raiding by thieves Of the
wine cellar of Elihu Root and the carrying away OF
a large quantity of valuable liquors. Now it was not
unknown that prohibition found thousands of we'll
stocked cellars in the land. There not COM
munity that had not one or more of them and thous
ands of them have been empty. There are
than rumors of frequent replenishment of these
cellars. A few days ago there was a widely pub
lished statement of import that had been re-
ceived by the government large quantities of
brandies and champagnes Notwithstanding the popu-
lar suppostion that all imports we'll the manu-
facture of alcoholic liquors was to be stopped.
With all this information before them. it is not
strange that bootleggers and their patrons who have
wellstocked cellars, should hold in light regard
law which permits the use, under sanction, Of
such liquors by those who afford them.
Lincoln observed that nation could not
exist half slave and half free. We may inquire what
would have been the result If instead of the prohbi-
ton of slavery eve that word instead Of "abo-
htion"), had merely prohibited the importation
and the sale of slaves but had permitted the holding
Of slaves. Then should have had situation still
more complicated and dangerous than nation half
free and half slave.
So long the possession and of liquor is
permitted under sanction of law men may be expected
to procure it for and other will be found
to supply it, There is something wrong with any
law which prohibits the commission of crime and
yet guards citizens in their enjoyment of the fruits
of that crime.

The Chances They lake

That many motorists meet death at railroad
crossings is not to be wondered at, and, in many
cases. hardly TO be regretted when we consider the
fcohardiness often displayed, such running
headlong into the sides of trains breaking down
crossing gates, and running down f1agmen who have
been posted to them of danger Only yesterday
printed the number of such cases OF criminal
reckessness the Southern Pacific lines alone

But used that railroad had become to such

The Dairy Center

The center of the dairy industry in the United
States is moving westward only little ahead Of the
center OF population has been observed by the
takers within the last seventy years since
the records Of dairy cattle began to be kept sepa-
rately from those of other cattle.
But the path of the center of the dairy industry
is eccentric and jagged while that of the center of
population is direct varying little from straight
line and west not far from the fortieh parallel
The first center of the dairy industry recorded
was in southeastern Ohio. The Buckeye state was
then second in the dairy industry New York
Two southern states, Georgia and Virginia,
fourth and fifth. 1t is interesting that Wis
consin, now the leading state, then the twenty
seventh.
Ten years later the center of the industry had
moved across the Ohio river about IS mics south OF
Cincinnati. New York still occupied first place but
Ohio had receded to third
In 1870 the center was in southern Indiana New
York still leading. but Ohio had now taken fourth
place. 1880 the center. without advancing
westward, had moved to the north Greencastle,
Ind, far from the center OF population years
later New York still led. Ten years later the
center Of the dairy industry had moved in westerly
direction to point near Urbana, Ills, and for the
first time New York fell into second place and Wis
consin had risen to the eighth Ten years later New
York resumed the lead and wisconsin climbed to
fourth place. The center in the meantime had only
slightly shifted.
In 1910 there had been only a slight shift. the
center being Clinton. nls, New York lead
ing and Wisconsin a close second Minnesota was
then rising in the dairy industry and had risen to
the third place.
The census OF 1920 found the center in the
western part of Illinois Galesburg. Wisconsin
indisputably the leader with New York and
Minnesota tied for second place.
Commenting on the growth OF the industry, a
statement by Armours Bureau Of Agricultural Re-
search and Economics says:
I'm 1850, 36.2 per cent of all cattle in this coun-
try dairy cattle; in 1860, the percentage was
1885, in 1870 it 4o1; in 1880. it was 346; in
1890, it St9; in 1900 it 253; in 1910 It
sS.7 and in 1920 it AZ per cent. Just why th9e
decline in the period from 1870 to 1900 easily
explained The numbers OF dairy cattle were con-
stanty increasing during this time but the develop
men of the stimulated the production Of beef
cattle much rapidly than the growth of the
cities stimplated the production Of dairy CATTLE that
the percentage Of dairy cattle declined despite an
actual increase in numbers.
THE future of dairy production seems bright.
There is no longer cheap land available for
extension of beef production. and it may reasonably
be expected that the next census or two will show
ratio between beef and dairy cattle closely comparable
to the ratio OF rural to urban population"

THE RE.SOURCEFUL SHOPPER

s6 .25 and $500. Likewise, a large
hardware store wanted $3.50 for a
certain hand-ax, which is trade
marked. A smaller place sold the
some tool for 81 SIS. 1t is safe to say
that many more of them are sold at
the higher price than at the lower.
Sporting goods are an instructive
illustration of the shopping habits of
men. These goods are bought al
most exclusively by men. There are
about 100000 such men in this
country who go afield, and the in
dustry which caters to their wants is
a large one. 1t supports. in typi-
cal city of half million people. five
or six stores devoted exclusively to
such goods. The prices charged for
these goods vary from 10 to so per
cent. The leading store on the prin-
cipal retail street always gets more
for exactly the same article than the
little store up a side street. Further
more, a reel which sells for So. 90 in
the spring is only 49,. so in the fall,
but very few are sold in the fall.
The average sportsman spends
probably at least half again as much
as he need spend for his equipment.
He is, in fact, about as careful as a
small boy in a candy store. His out
door life represents the kid side of his
nature anyway. When he sees some
shining bit Of equipment that he likes
in a window he runs in and buys it
without question, though he may pay
so per cent more than is necessary.
But a rise of one cent In the price of
gasoline will always get a howl of
rage out of him, while to mention the
prices women pay for clothes in his
presence is to inspire a philippe
The women as matter of fact are
much better shoppers than the men,
and as a result the prices charged
for the things they buy exclusively
are much more uniform than those
charged for strictly masculine goods.
1t has been noted that stores cater
ing to women usually run in groups of
three. That is. there are usually at
least three stores in a city which
carry women's cloaks, and larger.
places are likely to have three stores
of each distinctive class, or on each
principal retail street. The reason
for this is that a woman about to
make a purchase will usually price
the desired article i'm at least three
places and then buy in the cheapest
market, whereas the man will prob
ably buy in the first place he enters
If the salesman there knows his busi-
ness at all.
Women Determined
1t is also easy to see that a woman
will take more trouble to make her
purchases. In department stores the
mems furnishings are always on the
first floor They have to be. Men
will not so to an upper floor in search
of what they want. But the women S
furnishings are always on an upper
floor, while the first floor is devoted
to a lot of small articles that every
