STATE LEADS
In TRAINING
OF VOCATIONS

High tribute to the work of the de-
partment of vocational education of
the state of Arizona is paid in letter
received by A. M. Davis, state direc-
tor, from the office of the federal
board of vocational training.
The letter deals particularly with
the rapid advancement made by the
Arizona authorities in furthering in
dustrial education through part-time
evening classes for those employed in
mines and other industries. The
movement has the enthusiastic sup
port of mine operators.
The letter was written by H. A. Tie
mann, agent of industrial education,
who refers to a recent conference held
at Flagstaff, in which the state was
represented by G. c. Mann, state su-
pervisOr of trade and industrial edu-
cation. After complimenting Director
Davis and Supervisor Mann for the
excellent promOtional work done by
the state department, the writer says:
Arizona is the first state to at
tempt to pyramid the foreman training
program in the Pacific region, and af-
ter seeing the results of our confer
ence am convinced that you chose
the right method / believe we sold
our program to every person present;
1 know that we developed at least
three conference leaders, perhaps
four, and every man present was
thoroughly convinced that the phil
osophy of your program is sound and
correct In addition to the above we
secured from the mining representa-
tives some excellent suggestions for
an educational program in mining
communities.
81 wish also to compliment Mr.
Mann on his organization ability Be
ing together for the full two weeks
gave us an opportunity to discuss
many problems and found him think
ing straight on all of them. Another
year or so should see the Arizona
program fully on it's feet and out of
danger of serious setbacks."
The letter also contains a high trib-
ute to the work of Lura Lee Bailey,
assistant supervisor for part time
classes.

CO. LEADS IN
new METHODS
(F'rom THE Business Survey" May
Is. 1924)

Is, 1924.)
There are certain stores to which
most persons always turn when they
want goods of a known merit These
stores are those of one of the great
chain systems. To operate a chain
store system profitably there is one
essential-there must be very rapid
turnover To attain this is the secret
of the success of the chain stores.
Many persons go into store of the
ordinary merchant and see goods
priced beyond what they wish to pay.
Then they go to a chain store, such
as one of the J. C. Penney company
stores, and they see the same article
at a much lower price. Many un-
thinking persons assume that the
article is inferior But after close
examination it is as good as the art
icle offered in the other store, and
half obviously he buys it.
The fact is, the article purchased in
the chain store is as good or better
than the one purchased in the ordin-
airy store. The reason for this diff
ference is apparent to one who has
had experience in merchandising. The

regular customers; people who know
him in the city, through his own
neighborhood and other contacts.
They go to him with confidence that
he will give them sound goods at a
reasonable price. And in all likeli-
hood he does. But he sells only at
his one store, his range of goods and
sales are limited. Hence he must sell
at price to make a profit upon his
small range of goods and sales.
But a chain store maintains a wide
range of goods, they profit from many
stores, and many sales There is less
overhead per sale, and though large
quantity buying they effect great
great savings for their customers
The chain store must sell goods of
unquestioned quality or they cannot
hope to win trade, and they must sell
at a very small margin of profit or
they will have a slow turnover. So,
by selling great volume at a small
individual profit, the company is able
to succeed and to give the public ex-
ceptional values.
The j. c. Penney company is one
of the great chain stores which have
succeeded in providing the public
with goods of merit at reasonable
prices. And that the company is gain
ing the volume of the trade one need
only to examine their recent report
According to this report, for the first
four months this year the company
sales amounted to 17,882,342 This
represents a gain of $3,415 900 over
the same period last year. The ]. c.
Penney company is rapidly taking its
place at the head of the great chain
store companies, and they are doing
it upon the only sound basis it can
be done, OF merchandising greater
volume of goods of unquestioned merit
at prices that attract trade, and tc
hold that trade by service that wins
the loyalty of their customers. This
| is the only formula for success, and
the j. c. Penney company officers
have applied it with unusual effect

VALUATION IN
STATE SHOWS
BIG DECREASE

With few exceptions most of the
various classifications of property in
the state show decreases in assessed
valuations for 1924 taxation purposes
from the 1928 valuations, according to
of property in the state compiled by
the state tax commission
The largest increase in the value
of taxable property in the state is
shown by the concentrator properties
of the producing mines. These in
creased more than $8,000,000 above
the valuation last year
Probably the most startling in
crease in the value of taxable prop
critics is shown in automobiles. With
the exception of Mohaye county, each
county in the state shows an increase
in this class of property. The abb
stracts of the counties show that 81
798 more automobiles were assessed
this year than last at an increased
valuation of $3,400,42S. The state
ment shows 48,02S automobiles were
assessed at a total of SIS 5,537,9
The largest decrease in taxable
property values is shown in produc-
below that of last year by SAL ,633 ,420
The total valuation of last year was
$697 ,002,0 ,006, while the tentative valu-
alton for 1924 as shown by the state
ment of the commission is $645, ,436,-
396, or total decrease of $51 $50, $40
1t is understood that the tax com
mission may increase valuations plac-
ed by the county assessors on num-
ber of various classes of property
when it sits next week as the state
board of tax equalization. The valu-
ations for 1924 are merely tentative
and the figures given are not final
valuations, although in most instances
they are expected to become the fl
nal valuations after the state commits
sion meets as the tax equalization
board
With one exception the assessed
valuation of cattle in the state, in
cluding range cattle has decreased
from last years valuation, while
sheep and goats have increased Ir
most instances the number of cattle
in the state have decreased over las
year, this being especially true o.
range cattle which show a decrease
of 2S,633 head from last year. SheeI
on the other hand have increased ii
numbers to the extent of 44,696 heaC
with an increased valuation of 1868,
400. The valuation of range cattle
has decreased from last year by 81,
1852.

JACK LYNCH
WON DECISION
.EASYOVERSIKl

Jack Lynch, popular Arizona box
er, easily defeated Battling Sikh on
points in a ten-round bout at Woon-
socket, r. l., Saturday. Lynch cap
tured nearly every round. Skis only
display of strength was in the sew
enth round when he landed a power
full blow with his right.
Jack Lynch is one of the most pop
ular boxers in the southwest, and is
well known to Winslow sport fans.
While in Arizona he made his head
quarters at Prescott and was asso-
ciated with the Fort Whipple bar
racks staff. He has appeared many
times in northern Arizona boxing
rings and his gentlemanly conduct,
both in and out of the ring, made
him favorite with every follower of
the boxing sport.
After several years of uninterrupted
successes in this state, Lynch went
east to join the boxing stable of Eu-
gene Flaherty He won his early
starts in New York and was matched
with Young Flaherty in the semi-final
to the Wills-Madden bout Lynch lost
the decision to Slattery but the east
ern papers gave him columns of
praise for his work and predicted a
great future for him. Lynch was not
distressed by his loss to Slattery and
in a recent letter to Phoenix friends
stated that he was continuing his
training under efficient mentors and
that he hoped to get an early bout
with Sikh, the Senegalese who knock
ed out Georges Carpenter in six
rounds in 1922.
Sikh won the light heavyweight
championship of the world from Car
pentier, but lost the decision to Mike
McTigue in Dublin last year. Lynch's
decisive victory over Sikh should place
him in line for some big fights in the
east and he will undoubtedly be given
an early bout with the world cham
pion.
Lynch's cleverness and effective de-
tense have won many hard ring bat
ties. Since going east he has de-
veloped a greater punch than he pos
sessed here and the fight critics in
New York look upon him as a cham
pionship possibility.
Lynch is still youngster and he
Will continue to take on weight. He
was under the middleweight limit in
his local fights and, unless he has ta-
ken on considerable weight since he
started fighting in the east, Sikh had
good weight advantage over him.

Mr.. McAdoo's Illness.

Mr.. Davis. the Democratic candi.
date for President. and the Demo.
cratic higher management are entitled
to feel deep disappointment. as well
as personal concern, over the illness
of William G. McAdoo at this critical
and important stage of the presiden.
lial campaign. Mr.. McAdoo is in Johns
Hopkins Hospital for treatment of a
debilitating organic condition, and his
physician expects him to remain for
treatment for a week or ten days.
MIR. McAdoo was being depended
upon to enter actively in the cam
paign in support of the Democratic
national ticket. He was to be sched-
uled to make a series of speeches ex-
tending to the Pacific coast. This pro.
gram is to be seriously hampered, If
not frustrated entirely, depending
upon the length of his convalescence.
He was expected to be a powerful
factor in stimulating enthusiasm for
the ticket among his followers who
supported him for the nomination and
to unity the Democracy. Even though
there can be no suggestion that his
illness is diplomatic" the fact that
his voice must remain silent must
cause a sense OF loss to the managers
and the candidate.

Art in Pickles.

Since Nolstead came it seems the
United States is becoming picked
The National Association of Pickle
Manufacturers announces that we eat
more pickles than any other nation
consuming more than half a billion
annually.
But there is always fly in the
ointment, and too often a wart on
the pickle.
Fortunately the pickle manufac-
turers are not what they would seem.
Their business may not be as poetic
as that of the florist, but their souls
are attuned to the esthetic. They
are not mere commercialists. They
are artists. They pant for beauty.
And the warts worry them. Fas-
tidious housewives find their sensi-
bilities, If not their appetites, dis
turbed by warts. And then the color
of the pickle could be more pleasing
to the eye. Every one knows how
much Importance dainty housewives
attach to the color scheme of the
salad.
Thus. while Germany worries over
reparations and some Americans fret
over politics. the manufacturers OF
pickles grapple with the problem OF
the warts. Every factory should
have a studio-or a barber.

encouragement to further japanese

X X X X
In the London Times-semi- official
organ of the British government
appeared an editorial, October 2S
1913, advocating the introduction OF
Japanese labor into British Guiana
It's argument ran as follows:
The undeveloped wealth of that
colony is enormous, and the main OBJ
stacle to it's development is the de-
ficiency of labor. The climate is un-
suited to white labor, and therefore
no such jealousies could arise as have
resulted from the introduction OF
Japanese laborers in the self-govern-
ing colonies, while any facilities
granted by the government for the
immigration and settlement of the
Japanese could not but tend to allay
any irritation caused by their exclu-
sion from other parts of the British
Empire"
The same conditions apply to
French and Dutch Guiana. japanese
naval bases upon the coasts of any OF
the Guianas would as truly menace
the Panama Canal and our Gulf coast
as would that of Magdalena Bay. II
in those European dependencies tracts

what would be the application of the
Lodge doctrine thereto?
