Union Smasher
"Worth a Million

The Cosmopolitan News Service, !
Hearst organization, has a stat
writer whose name is Ward Greene
Mr.. Greene writes more or less gos
sipy hub dub from New York.
In the course of one Of his dis
sertations there appeared the follow
ing:
Il met Capt John I. Viekery
in front of the Bush building to-
day. l knew him when he was
S75-a-month patrolman in
Georgia city. Now he is presi-
dent of the Nickery Industrial
Service, Inc, and worth a mill
lion.
"This ex-policeman came to
New York with nothing but an
idea. He gave big business the
'strike-stopper.'
"You know the 'strike-breaker'
he's a back number. The
'strike-stopper, who succeeded
him, goes into factories osten-
sibly as a workman. In realty,
he is a Waterman, an investiga-
tor, leavener of discomfort,

the door before the horse is
stolen.
IF you wonder sometimes why
the red flag of riot no longer
waves in some of the big indus
trial plants Of the nation, ask
Capt John Vickery, the 'eX-
cap who employs thousands of
'strike-stoppers' today and rides
in limousings and his own yacht"
OF course, it is not 'the red flag of
riot that yickery and his opera
tives" seek to keep down and prob
ably Mr.. Greene knows this. What
Vickery and his tribe are after is in
exchange for so much pieces of silver,
or any sort of currency of the realm,
to prevent the formation of trade
unions or to destroy them where they
exist. For this kind of Service" to
Big Business Vickery, according to
Ward Greene, is worth million"

A TELEPHONE NATION

In 1877 the number of tele.
phones per hundred population
in both the United States and
Europe was none. In 1899 the
United States had less than one
telephone per hundred popula-
tion and Europe had barely q
fraction of telephone. In 1921
Europe had a little better than
one telephone per hundred pop.
ulation while the, United States
had risen to more than thirteen
telephones per hundred popula-
ton and now has a total of A.
500, 1000 in use, which is two
thirds of all the telephones in
the whole world.
In this country there is about
one telephone to every two farm
dwellings, a convenience unheard
of in other countries. This won
derful telephone development is
due to efficient organization, to
the cumulative effect and i'm.
portance of investments great

and equipment required for the

PLAYING SAFE.

Banks and bond houses are
specialists in. financial matters.
If you are i'll you GO to a doc
tor; if you want a tooth pulled
you go to dentist; if you want
a suit of clothes made you go to
a tailor; If you want bath tub
installed you go to plumber;
if you want farming done you
go to farmer.
By the same token if you want
knowledge of financial matters,
including investments, you should
go to a specialist in these mat
ters.
A farmers business is farming
and in that, by all the laws Of
average. be should be an expert
but, having made his money his
proper course is to conserve it
and invest it. His bank or in.
vestment banking house will
gladly advise him how to invest
it in a safe manner.

DROUTH CONDITIONS RELIEVED

Phoenix, July 21.-Two weeks
Of good local rains we'll distri-
buted over the principal grazing
sections of the state have done
much to relieve the drouthy con.
ditions that for many weeks
have dominated the stock ranges
of the district. In many sec.
tions the water supply was TEN,
porarily relieved while in others
substantial additions we're made
to tanks and reservoirs. In
the Thatcher section where for
months distressing range condi-
tions prevailed nearly two inches
of rain fell and the range is re
ported improving. Heavy local
rains fell in the Douglas section
and both range and stock are
showing Improvement. Follow
ing heavy showers at Nogales

pasture is reported from the
Grand Canyon section where
conditions have been poor for
many weeks.
With warm nights, relatively
high humidity and none of the
customary burning July sun, cot
ton has made unusual progress
seldom before in the history of
the industry has the crop made
similar developments. The show.
ers of the week have bleached
all hay that was down. resulting
in lower grades. The bulk of
the cantaloupes have been har.
vested; picking of the second set
has begun. All of the car lot
shipments of Thompson seedless
grapes have been dispatched al
though a few are left for local
use. Malagas are about ready
for packing. Citrus is generally
in good condition with some
trees carrying an unusual set of
fruit. = With warm nights, only
moderate warm days and abund.
ant humidity the week has been
a very good growing one in the
Yuma valley. A good deal of
alfalfa was cut and thrashing
begins in earnest this week.

stracts of the tax rolls sent in

the state as shown by the ab-
stracts from the various counties
will be about $697, 487, 1874.
The last abstract, that the
Apache county, was received

assessed valuations in that coun-
ty we're increased $545, ,274 for

abstracts shows that the valua-
tions ia six counties, Greenlee,
Yuma, Coconino, Santa Cruz,
Navajo and Apache, were in
creased while the remaining

Gila county shows the largest

THE WRONG PICTURE.

It seems ridiculous to hear
politicians and labor agitators
get up and tear the air expound.
ing on the fight between labor
and capital. To hear their
speeches and public utterances,
an uninformed person would
have a vision of the wealthy men
in this nation hiding behind
breastworks of money bags and
fighting off starving millions who
are trying to scale this wall of
gold.
Ia the next breath, we read in
our daily papers that rich EN-
ployer in New York has turned
over his clothing business to a
few employees. Automatically
these employees become the hat.
ed capitalists. and take their
places behind the barriers of
gold, which in turn the workmen
they hire will strive to tear
down..
Is not this the wrong picture
to flash constantly before the
eyes of millions? Is not cap,
italist any individual who has
saved fifty or hundred dollars
and through wise investment,
either in a peanut wagon, a boot
black stand or an industrial or
government bond, caused that
money to earn more dollars?
Is the man who saves one hun
dred dollars which he puts in a
public utility, a railroad, or a
sawmill property, where, with
money contributed by hundreds
of others like himself, it employs
thousands of people at good
wages, a bad citizen? Yet he is
a capitalist just as truly as the
man who invests a hundred
thousand or a million dollars.
When there is removed the in
centive for the man with one
hundred dollars to increase that
amount to one thousand and
then to ten thousand dollars, and
so on, there is also removed the
chance of reward that is the
stake for which the average
able bodied American strives.

During a recent trip here,
Rhinehart said, r. G. Rucker,
representative of a California

declared that drilling rigs will
be shipped here as quickly as
arrangements can be made.
The same syndicate has secur-
ed leases on 10000 acres of oil
land in the vicinity of San Sim
on, and 10000 about Holbrook,
Arizona, and plans to investigate
all these thoroughly, with the
purpose of finding oil indications
The land leased was selected
for what were believed to be
general indications favorable to
the presence of oil. Rucker also
inspected lands in the vicinity

zona, and Rhinehart, who &C.

in the first half Of the ninth after
two men had fallen for Seaton's

bench, breaking a scoreless tie
that had kept the fans on edge.
Arzate's home run, the excel.
lent pitching of Ruiz and Seaton,
and circus catch by Chase in
short right field, all added to the
all around excellence of play,
provided local fans with game
that will be replayed for many

two thirds innings Seaton held
the Nogales club in check and
seemed certain to breeze along

While Seaton was outSmarting

entire nine innings and the com.

garner more than four scattered

It might be remarked here that
the sportsmanship displayed by
both teams was excellent, the
game being played cleanly and
