of this city, few days ago.
81 have been in a badly rundown
state of health for something like
four years. My appetite was so poor
that I simply had to force myself to
eat and food acted like poison with
me. I would blOat terribly and the
gas on my stomach caused me such
severe pains and heart palpitation
that had to gasp for breath at times.
Sometimes even the sight of food sick
ened me. In the mornings, especially,
1 could not even eat an egg. 1 would
just take a cup of coffee for break

could hardly raise my hands to my
head. My legs ached and cramped so |
that every step I took was in pain
and if I stopped over a pain would
strike me in the back and almost
take my breath away. In fact, my
whole body ached like rheumatism.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-There may

found it to be only playful human

DR.. Prince, director of the Ameri-

notified the Halifax Herald today
that he was ready TO go to Canada

has attracted the attention Of thou

of how ghostly occurrences drove its

2,5OO,OOO Pounds OF
Local Wheat Is Taken
Bv Mills For 100000

Sale OF 2,50O,00O pounds of Salt
River valley wheat for sum ap-
proximating $4,000 was announced
yesterday by S. c. Miller. chairman
Of the grain committee Of the Mari
copa County Farm bureau. The entire
allotment was purchased by local
mills and represents one of the larg-
est grain sales ever made locally, the
announcement contained.
The consignment represented a
pool OF 80 grain growers of the val
ley, formed soon after the June and
July harvest last year. The price re-
ceiyed for No. ] wheat was s2.45 per
hundred pounds. I. o. b. mill doors.
Formation Of the wheat pool was
effected to bring about an orderly
marketing of the commodity in the
valley. Saturdays sale cleans up
all wheat of the 1921 crop held by
grain growers in the pool, Miller
said.
AS an evidence OF the benefits ac-
cruing under the operation of the
pool. Chairman Miller pointed to the
wheat quotations at the time of its
formation and to the prices received
in yesterdays sale. Local mills We're
offering $1.75 per hundredweight for
No. wheat last June. The price
received yesterday was 20 cents per
hundredweight above the June quo
tations of last year.
The grain committee of the farm
bureau also feels that through its
operation OF the wheat pool it did
much to keep the price of sacks in
line and made material savings to
the farmer OF about cents on each
bag. Additional sums were saved

OPERATORS WILL
ASK COAL MINERS
TO ACCEPT GU 7

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 25 The
anthracite coal operators announced
here today that they have agreed to
meet representative of the United
Mine Workers in joint conference in
New York, March is to negotiate a
new wage agreement. $. d. Warriner.
chairman of the policies committee,
said it was the unanimous feeling of
the operators that there must be a
deflation in coal prices and that the
mine workers, for the sake of their
own prosperity and the general good
all around must share in this della
tion.
Mr.. Warmer is president OF the
Lehigh Coal and Navigation COM
pany. 1t was in reply to question
whether the operators would ask the
mine workers to accept reduction
in wages at the expiration of the
present contract on March 81 that he
indicated the miners would be asked
to readjust the present wage rates.
The present situation is one, Mr..
Warmer said, in which the price of
anthracite coal cannot expect to devil
ate from the trend of other commodi-
ties.
Anthracite coal is too high when
considered with other things and
with commodities with which il comes
in competition" said the chief spokes-
man of the hard coal operators. and
prices have got TO come down to
meet the economic situation"
Mr.. Warmer said the high cost OF
coal 10 the consumer is due to the
cost of production in which the mine
workers wages are large part
There must be deflation. he added
not only in wage rates but in freight
rates and other things.
He pointed out that the average
increase in the cost of living since
1914 is 57.7 per cent and that the
ge increase in the wages of day
labor in and about anthracite collier
les has advanced 131 per cent since
1914.
There are about 100000 men EN-
ployed in the anthracite industry by
the day. These figures do not include
contract miners.
Mr.. Warriner would not say wheth-
er or not the operators had agreed
upon definite wage basis to be sub
mitted to the miners next month.

and the purchase of the pool yester-
day has created a spirit of confidence
in home industry among the pro-
ducers of the valley" Chairman MIL
Ter said last evening.
Zone of the most serious things
encountered by the grain committee
was the demand among farmers and
housewives for Kansas wheat flour,
he continued.
with the launching of the Buy
Arizona Products campaign. how
ever, there was a noticeable improve
ment in the demand for Arizona
wheat flour and as a result thereon
the market for Arizona wheat mate

"The Buy Arizona Products cam

ars that a ready market for Arizo-

"It is the advice of the grain COM
