Everybody who has had anything to

these peculiarities have sometimes
frightened people.

letter of inquiry. The instrument had

FINE PROGRAM FOR
FARMERS MEETING
TODAY IN PHOENIX

Preparations are being made for
the farmers meetings to, be held in
Phoenix, Saturday, Feb Is. These
meetings win be held at the Phoenix
high school auditorium, beginning at
10 a. m. This is the last of the
series of meetings which have been
held in various parts of the country
as an extension of the agricultural
short course which is an annual fea-
ture of the Arizona college of agri-
culture.
A number of Maricopa county
farmers were so impressed with the
valuable lectures delivered at the
short course held at Tucson in jan
uary that they came back and took
up the matter with the Farm Bureau,
Phoenix chamber of commerce and
Maricopa county realty board, with
the result that the university very
promptly placed at the service of
these organizations some of the lead
ing instructors in agricultural spe-
cialties.
In addition to the speakers from
the college of agriculture, some of the
best and most successful farmers will
also take part in the discussions.
Meetings have been held at Buck
eye, Glendale and Chandler. In addi-
tion to the meeting at Phoenix on
Saturday, another will be held at
Mesa the same day. These meetings
are open TO the general public. 1t is
expected that large number of
farmers will attend these meetings.
Practically all of the topics which
win be discussed as those in which
farmers are very much concerned.
Prof. G.. +. p. Smith is recognized
as one of the best irrigation engin-
eers in the country. He win speak
Saturday morning on the subject of
THE Use and Waste of Irrigation
Water"
DR.. A. e. Vinson, agricultural
chemist of the University of Arizona,

the subject of Soil Problems

CHAMPION TYP|ST
GIVES EXHIBITION

without apparent effort Miss Mar
garet b. owen of Passaic, y. j.,
tapped off 40 words on a. typewriter
in a minute in the offices of the
Underwood company on West Adams
street yesterday. thus .equaling her
own worlds record. Miss Owen has
been in the city several days giving
speed exhibitions at the high school,
Gregg's Business college and the
Lamson Business college. She VIII
leave the city tonight.
1t was in 1918 that Miss Owen es-
tablished the worlds one minute rec
ord Of ITO words dictated. Her rec
ord also includes the winning Of the
International Trophy cup in open
competition of speed and accuracy IN
1913, 1915, 1916 and 1917. The mark
set by Miss Owen at the international
contest of 1917 was 14S words a min
ute average for one hours continu-
Gus writing. This worlds record has
never been equaled by any typist.
In giving advice to students OF
typewriting at the various schools
she visited, Miss Owen confided that
the secret of fast work lies largely
in the position of the hands and arms
1.-THE movement should be made
practically with the fingers from the
knuckles down and not by the arms
and wrists" she said.

GOVERNOR To HONOR
PIONEERS REQUEST

The dying request Of James Pearce,
pioneer Arizonan, that a wreath of
flowers from the state house be
placed on his grave, will be granted
by Governor Thomas f. Campbell.
The governor received word from
his son that Mr.. Pearce had died in
Taylor yesterday. In the message
was his fathers request with which
Governor Campbell complied at once.
1t was on the last visit to Phoenix
of Mr.. Pearce in April when he at
tended The Republicans Pioneers
Reunion, April 1913. that the wealth
Of floral beauty in the gardens of the
capitol impressed him. He then ex-
pressed a desire to have a wreath of
bloom from there on his coffin.
The dead man was the first settler
at Taylor. Arizona, where he and his
family lived for number OF years.
His father, Harrison Pearce. was the
man from whom Pearce Ferry at the
mouth OF the Grand Wash In Mohaye
county, took its name.

The strongest appeal of the Pay

any particular group. but that it is

YOUNG PEOPLES
NIGHT At REVIVAL

Last evening was Young Peoples
night at the revival meetings being
held in the First Baptist church.
Songs and choruses We're sung and
lots of enthusiasm manifested. The
song service was led by Miss Flea
nor Clark. song leader for the B. Y.
p. T., and the orchestra led by Del
bert Jones gave lots of vim to the
singing. A saxophone quartette was
one Of the special features. A b. \.
p. L. song, specially written for the
young people by the pastor, was sung
with much spirit. A song sheet con-
tanning old and new hymns helped to
guide the choice of musical numbers.
After the song service, the sermon
was delivered by the Rev. f. +.
Hawes, of the Baptist church of
Mesa. His message was a strong plea
for the entering into the work with
preparation to receive great
blessing. Gods blessings are unlim-
ited His cause is the cause Of right
eousness. He said i'm a most forceful
manner that God not only forgives
sins but he saves from the power of
sin. We are not saved because we
are the favored of God, but because
he has a work for us to do. God
expects us to bear witness to the inn
mortality of the soul and to the sat

ure OF good can be accomplished un-
der a movement Of this kind if it re-
ceiVes the concerted cooperation Of
the entire community.
According 70 the figures compiled
by the Merchants and Manufactur-
ers association. there is now on the
books of the local business concerns
more than $1,600,000.00 in accounts
receivable. The release of this huge
sum into the active channels Of bus
mess would have an almost electrify-
ing effect in stimulating progressive
activity that would rebound to the
benefit Of the entire community. The
liquidation of this great sum can
be accomplished with a comparatively
small amount. il the whole COM
munity would CO. operate to keep that
smaller amount in active circulation
purely for the purpose Of paying bills.
The multiplied power of money thus
circulated has been illustrated in one
Ohio town during their Pay Up week
campaign, when one ten dollar bill
was passed around until it had paid
s720 worth of bills within a few days
time. This same ratio can be APP
piled to the frozen capital Of Phoe-
nix which can be liquidated in the
same proportion If the proper effort

Why Not Here, Too?

A wise ruler once achieved
greater wisdom by Disgusting
himself and mingling with the
people in the resorts and streets
of his capitol city.
Our own senators and con-
gressmen might display great
er intelligence if they. too,
would mingle more freely with
the people after the votes have
been counted.
II Is doubtful If their wisdom
is any greater than that of the
ruler of old who sought and
obtained first hand information

of his subjects.

What and How?

What do we most need in

Answer those two questions
in a satisfactory manner and
you will have performed a
wonderful service for your
community.
There are many ways Of i'm
proving a town and its adjacent
countryside, but they cannot
all be employed at one and the
same time.
There are many people who
have ideas and suggestions for
improvement, but il is also
manifest that they cannot all
be adopted with the limited
facilities at our command.
The obvious thing to do is TO
get our various ideas together
and into the limelight, where
they can be scrutinized for OBJ
jectionable features. Then de-
eide upon the one single sug-
gested improvement that would
be of great benefit to all of our
people.
That done, we will be face to
face with the problem of how

the various ideas of people who
are in the habit of making a

Step by Step 10 Better

| AT last a woman has beef
sworn in as a senator of tn,
United States. True, she serves
only one day. having been ap
pointed TO fill out an unexpir

But that one day term serves
as a milestone in the politica
advancement of American wo
manhood. a milestone that Il
destined to shine brightly in tn,
history of our country.
We decry, however. the ap.
parent tendency of some Of oui
women with political ambitions
to scale the heights at one
bound.
II would be much wiser and
decidedly safer to climb the
ladder step by step. as the av-
erage man is required to do.
As we see il. about the first
important political step for a
woman is TO make a careful
study of civic conditions in the
home community, and then de-
vote all of her strength to re-
medying undesirable features
thereof.
There are numerous local
offices that could be filled by
women as well as by men. and
after a few terms in such offices
their perspective would be en-
larged and broadened and they
would become better fitted for
the higher political honors and
responsibilities.
