PATERNALIZiNG PRODUCTION.

Our country has prospered in
the past century by giving the
people as good government as
possible and letting them man
age their own industries and
business to the best of their ma.
tive ability.
When the. great world war
broke we we're the richest.
strongest in man power and ma
nufacturing ability of any nation
in the world, and we had accom-
plished this paramount position
by the above policy.
Constant efforts are made to
change our system of handling
the affairs of this nation away
from the lines and experience of
a century, and to substitute Eu-
ropean ideas of a more pattern.
alistic policy.
The proposition is made to
have the government help the
wheat growers by buying and
storing 200,000,00O bushels of
wheat and to that extent easing
over production and decline of
world markets.
1t looks very attractive and
the government might make a
lot of money on the investment,
but the precedent could be just
as we'll employed to help silver,
potatoes or any other article of
commerce.
When lumber or oil, or coal
production passed the market
demand the same argument
would hold good: Let the gov.
ernment buy the surplus. By
trying to help the farmer we
would change our entire system.

CUT IN RATES ON ORE MADE

from all points ON their lines in
Arizona to Humboldt, Arizona,
the smelter at Humboldt has
been given a new lease of life,
according to Amos A. Belts,
chairman of the Arizona corpor-
alton commission. The new rates
will become effective upon one
days notice, he said.
Application for permission to
publish the new rates, many Of
which ase nearly 50 per cent Of
the present prevailing rates, was
made to the commission yester-
day by the Santa Fe. It is pro.
bable that the application will
be granted within the next few
days and an order issued author
izing the rail company to put
the rates into effect upon one

as it has no large mines of it's
own. Since the slump ia the
prices of copper following the
war, Mr.. Belts said, the smelter
at Humboldt has had a hard
time to continue opertions.
Recently, however. he saids
the smelter company leased the
Blue Bell mine and the Swansea
mine. Both properties are small
producers and would not give
sufficient ore to continue the ope-
ration of the smelter, Mr.. Belts
added, hence the smelter began
to cast about for some way to
increase the ore supply for
smelling.
A number of conferences be-
tween the various mining CON-
panies in the state who have no
smelters of their own and the
smelter we're held, followed by
conferences between the smelter
and rail officials of the Santa Fe.
The action taken yesterday in
applying for the reduction of
rates was the outcome of the
conferences.

BANKS AND INSURANCE.

This is no boom article for
banks or insurance but publish
ed because financial and proper
ty losses weaken the community.
In nearly every issue of this
paper will appear accounts of
the burning up of homes while
owners were in another part of
the state.
Often everything in the house
was a total loss, including a.
goodly sum of money, and other
valuables. And the story ends
with the words: ''They had no
insurance"
This is a human interest arti-
Gle to warn such as do not have
their home. it's contents, and all
that is insurable, properly pro-
tected.
1t is sound common sense to
use every possible precaution to
safeguard ones property, real
and personal.
So heavy proves the loss TO
almost any family that they are
for the time destitute; neighbors
care for them and relatives in
another state are telegraphed tn
for funds.
1t is also unsafe to leave any
sum of money in a home. 1t is
best, as safe rule, not to leave
at home or carry on ones person
any great amount of money.
Banks are the place in which
to leave money. and the check
book does the rest. People, who
imagine that when they deposit
money in a bank, they are help
ing that institution, Ought to
know better.
It is the bank that helps them
by providing safe place for
their funds, and a convenient
and safe way of paying their bills.
Many hardships can be avoid
ed when one takes every pre-.
caution to protect, through in
surance, his home. his personal
property, his health and ward
off losses through accident. The

oeREGoN TO MEET COOLIDGE,

Tucson, Sept. Z. = Advices
that President Alvaro Obregon
of Mexico is favorable to a meet
ing on the international bound
ary at Nogales, Arizona, and
Sonora. with President Calvin
Coolidge, in celebration of recog
milton of Mexico by the United
States, were received here last
night from Nogales.
According to this information,
President Obregon has wired
the Nogales Chamber of Com.
merce of his willingness to &C
cept this border city as the
scene of such~a union and indi
cation of the friendliness be
tween the two adjoining repub.
lies.
The receipt of this informa.
ton from President Obregon
followed several months of nego
tiations regarding such a meet
ing on the international boundry,
which had been held in allegiance
since the death OF the late Presi
dent Harding.
President Harding, it was un
derstood, had indicated that he
favored such a union on the in
ternational boundary with the
president of Mexico, but plans
bad been suspended until the
occurrence of recognition.
Organizations and influential
citizens of both Arizona and So
nora have been strongly advocat
ing the selection of Nogales as
the site for such observances
and the news received in No
gales yesterday was considered
an indication of the probable
success Of their endeavors.
Accompanying the telegram
favoring Nogales and indicating
the willingness of the Mexican
president to participate in such
ceremony, was a wire also de-
claring the gratitude of Presi
dent Obregon for courtesies
shown by Nogales on the occa,
sion of recognition of the repub
lie by the United States.
The ceremonies planned for
Nogales, according to the an
nouncement made some time ago
by the Chamber of Commerce OF
the border town, would be plan
ned to include representations
from the entire southwest and
a jubilee at the resumption OF
diplomatic relations between the
two adjoining republics after the
years of cessation following the
revolutionary period.

ECLIPSE OF SUN SEPT. 10.

Scientific observations are being
made at Hermosillo where some
of the worlds most famous as.
tronomers are congregated.
For brief few minutes the
celestial phenomena was wit
messed and measured to the
shortest space of a second.
We often witness an isolated
overhead cloud casting a distinct
dark shadow on the surface of
the earth, while the sun is di.

common every day experience
we are in reality witnessing a
miniature eclipse of the sun.
For our moon sometimes acts
the role of the cloud, and being
apparently the same size as the
sun in the heavens, opportunely
screens for a few brief minutes
the disk of the sun, hiding from
view the dazzling glare in which
the sun hides itself along with
all its mysteries and secrets from
the over.c curious eyes of man.
The three heavenly bodies con.
cerned in the production of a
total eclipse of the sun are-the
sun, the moon and the earth.
The sun is $4,000 miles in
diameter and is about SO, 900, 900
miles from the earth.
The moon is 2141 miles in dia.
meter and is about 100000 miles
from the earth. The moons
velocity in revolving about the
earth is six tenths of mile per
second.
The earth is 1918 miles in dia
meter and rotates its axis in
twenty three hours and fifty six
minutes. A speed of about a
thousand miles an hour for the
latitude of Southern California.
The earth revolves about the
sun with speed of eighteen and
one half miles a second.
Keep in mind that the sun is
about 400 times greater in dia.
meter than the moon and that it
is also about 400 times more dis.
tant from the earth.
About ten minutes before to
taling the darkness began to be
felt. The disappearing light be.
came changed in quality. to a
pale, ashen hue, and differed
from sunlight of normal condi
tions. The landscape and noun
tains had peculiarly unearthly
pale appearance that could be
discerned at any other time.
Meanwhile the surrounding land
scape rapidly grows darker and
darker.
AS early as five minutes be
fore the time of totality, the
mysterious shadow bands could
be observed. These wavy bands
of light upon the surface of the
landscape are not beheld at
every eclipse. The bands of
light we're approximately three
inches wide and about foot
apart. They have a wavy ap
pearance, with distance of
about two feet between the crests
of the waves. They, travel over
the landscape about as fast as a
man can run.
