chants and Manufacturers associa
ton last evening, the subject Of the

questioned and discussed from every
possible angle
The facts brought out clearly

proved successful in more than 100
p@ler cities of the United States
WYNN the past few months. 1t was
bNeWise demonstrated that the Pay
Ap week movement would rebound
~ the benefit of the firm doing a
cash business and the wholesaler
-ust as much as it would to the con-
Germ that was carrying host Of past
uue credit accounts on it's books.
The question of what this move
ment would mean to the individual
OF the community, who had no busi-
ness interests. was also raised and
the experience of the past showed
that everyone in the community, re-
gArdless of their place or position,
was benefited in proportion to the
part they played in the welfare Of
their city. With these facts in mind
the necessity for obtaining the com-
bined and concerted support of the
entire community behind this move
ment was strongly emphasized.
The entire membership pledged it.
self again to lend their hearty sup
port and o-operation in making the
Phoenix Pay Up Week campaign of
Feb. 20-25, the most successful of
it's kind In any city approaching the
population of Phoenix The commit
tee in charge of this campaign were
instructed to proceed with the cam
paign as planned several weeks ago
and to obtain every possible medium
OF publicity to acduaint the citizens
Of Phoenix with the plans. purposes
and benefits Of this movement.
Within the next few days, the
distribution of the posters and pla-
cards will have been completed
throughout the city and the news
paper advertising and publicity will
continue to remind the community
daily of the Pay Up Week campaign.
Phoenix has always responded to
every community appeal OF merit and
the possibilities offered by this
movement to help the entire local
credit situation should meet with a
hearty cooperative response at the
hands Of everyone IN the city.

The staid old gentlemen of letters

With the view TO acquiring a degree

The kid looked anything but on

the physiognomy of the lumber camp
and the prize ring.
1t took considerable explaining be-

'Kid" Wedge was born and reared

His father died when he was baby
He has fought his own way in the

When he was 20 he left the woods
and entered the prize ring in Wis

but three of them.
Then came the great event and the
turning point of his life. He met
the W man who later was to become

taught him the difference in the

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, Feb. 16 -
Frederick Il. (ESid) Wedge, of Ari-
I zona, 40 years old. former lumber
jack and prize fighter, was admitted
| to Harvard University as a student
of the graduate school Of education
yesterday.
He had come across the country in
| freight cars to register only TO find
that he was uncertain of admission.
Wedges admission to Harvard
marks the latest step in his fight for
an education. After battling his way
out of the Wisconsin Timber camps
by his boxing prowess, he became a
fairly successful participant in bat
ties of the prize ring in Nebraska,
Colorado and other western states.
Then under the Influence of the
young woman, who became his wife,
he turned to obtaining an education,
securing degree from the University
of Arizona, and acting for year as
principal of a high school at Ben
son, Arizona.
Our delay in admitting Mr.
Wedge Dean Henry w. Holmes Of
the school of education at Harvard
said today, "has had absolutely
nothing to do with the fact that he
was formerly a prize fighter. His
remarkable struggle for an educa-
ton counted in his favor.
"The delay was due to other aues-
tons concerning his record and quail
fications.p
Love carried Frederick r. "Kid"
Wedge over all the obstacles and
stumbling blocks which stand be-
tween the Arizona prize ring and
scholastic achievement.

mlraculously from the admitted es-
tate of the toughest roughneck in

CAMPAIGN TO USE
ARIZONA PRODUCTS
PROVING ITS WORTH

The "Use OF Arizona Products
campaign of the Arizona Industrial
Congress has shown the tremendous
good the organization is doing and
will do for the people of Arizona,
according to L. w. Cureton, secre-
County Farm Bureau. Mr. Cureton
Is here as business manager Of the
Coconino Farm Bureau marketing
association in the interests of the
Flagstaff potato growers, whose en-
tire crop wholesalers of the state are
arranging to handle as a result of
the efforts of Mr.. Cureton's organi-
zation and the Industrial Congress.
Every farmer in the state is
booster for the Industrial Congress"
said Mr. Cureton yesterday. "be-
cause the farmers can see the work
of the Congress is getting results
and benefitting the individual pro-
ducer as well as business generally
The work of the Congress in stimu-
lating the use of home products has
done wonders and the public has
shown it is supporting the move
ment"
Mr.. Cureton expressed the opinion
that one Of the great services of the
Industrial Congress will be in taking
the place OF a. state marketing as
sociafion, need of which has been
felt for some time. The Congress
will be able to do a great deal to-
wards solving marketing problems of
the farmer. said Mr.. Cureton. by
bringing all interests together as it
is now doing.
Similar expressions Of praise for
the use Arizona Products" move
ment of the Congress have been re-

every nature have felt the benefits of

El Paso, whore he fought the hardest
fight of his life--the fight against
death. He won. Then he went to
Arizona where he completed his edu-
cation and received his degree OF
A. b.
After that he became principal Of,
the Benson, AriZ,, high school, where
he remained until he resigned TO come
East to study at Harvard. He started
east on the day after New Years with
$40 in his pocket.
He rode in an impromptu fashion in
the "side door Pullmans" and arrived
in Boston with SS cents.
There is no excuse for the poorest
boy in the United States going with

NEW MEMBERSHIP IN
STATE CONGRESS IS
Representative ONE

The membership campaign of the
Arizona Industrial congress has en-
tered its second week with an ever
increasing number of applications for
charter member cards, officers of the
Organization announced yesterday. In
dications are that the charter mem
bership roll of the congress, when it
is published in March. will be a COM
plete list of representative citizens of
the state in every industry and oc-
cupation.
The congress in its campaign has
mailed out several thousand personal
invitations to take out charter mem
bership but many of the applications
coming in are from men who have not
received letters; men who are anxious
to enroll before the charter member
rolls are closed. This is regarded
as proof that the value of the work
of the congress has become so well
known that the organization is as

COUNTY AND
STATE TAXES
ARE HIGHER

I, The tax levy for next year has
been made.
1t provides for an increase of two
CENTS on county and state taxes MAX
ing this levy 64h cents on the 500
valuation, besides which there is the
district school tax which varies in the
ninety-fve school districts Of the
county.
The state tax this year is 13-cents
of which 7-eents is for general rev.
enue, 1-cent capitol, 2-cents for the
blind and Scents for the soldier
bonus. This latter measure caused
an increase in state taxes of 8 cents.
The county taxes as levied by the
county court are one cent lower this
year than last due to a reduction Of
l-cent in taxes on the county hos
pital. This is due to the. fact that
this year much equipment had to be
purchased for the hospital for which
funds will not be required next year.
1t is the hope of the board to make
Audrain Hospital self sustaining be-
fore the end of the next year and if
this is done the rate can be decreased
to the point where the taxpayers will
only pay enough for interest and the
retiring of the bonds from year to
year. The rate is 6A cents this year.
The county revenue, from which all
county bills are paid is set at 20
cents; the county road and bridge
fund is 10-cents and the district road
fund is 15-cents. These items are
the same as last year.
Some of the country school districts
will have a very low tax rate this
year it is said as they still have funds
from last years taxes.
Mexico's. school tax is set at 30
cents this year which is 20-cents less
than last year for this item so the
taxes for Mexico citizens will be 49,
cents lower this year than next.
