the largest storage irrigation sys-
TEN in the world, impounding more
than a million and q half acre feet
of water.
After selling his ranch to the
government, Mr.. Peter disposed OF
his cattle and moved to the Salt
River Valley. He bought and de-
veloped several ranches in the next
few years.
Pay'n Takit stores originated in
Arizona in 1913. C. w. Mickle
bought a ranch from Mr.. Peter.
Two years later, July, 1915, Mr..
Mickle and Mr.. Peter entered into
the grocery business when they
bought a grocery store from E. G..
Smith.
In the spring Of 1913 the gro
certeria bug hit Phoenix with some
five or six help-yourself stores. In
March, 1918, John H. W. Champion,
now manager Of Pay'n Takit stores
in Arizona, opened the first Pay'n
Takit self-service store in Arizona,
under the name of the Forage Pot. "

following personnel managed the
Pay'n Takit organization:
D. j. Peter, chairman of the
board of directors; C. w. Mickle,
president; George Peter, vice-presi-
dent and superintendent OF retail
stores; L. G. Lakin, vice president

Lakin resigned his position at which
time John H. w. Champion and T..
G. Wagner became divisional mana

FOR
YOUR INSPECTION

The merchant and manufacturer who advertise,
actually are placing their merchandise before you
for inspection They invite your most critical atten
ton and an uncompromising comparison. And their
advertisements so to speak, say to their products:
eve have introduced you to the public-now stand
on your own merits.
IF the manufacturer and merchant did not have
confidence in their they would hesitate to call
attention to them For advertising rigdly tests the
maker the seller and the merchandise. BUSINESS
so TESTED AND FOUND NOT WANTING, is
PROSPEROUS.
In the long run, you depend on the man who
advertses as we'll as on his product That is
son why people have found that it pays to read ad-
vertisements. 4
It is through advertising that the excellent things
of the world are brought to the attention Of those who
are seeking for the best and most economical way to
spend their money.
Read the advertisements. They are NEWS. "

THE USEFUL PLOW.

THE USEFUL PLOW
Anonymous
A country life is sweet!
In moderate cold and heat,
To walk in the air how pleasant
and fair!
In every field of wheat,
The fairest of flowers adorning
the bowers,
And every meadows brow;
So that / say, no courtler may
Compare with them who cloths
in gray,
And follow the useful plow.
They rise with the morning lark,
And. labor till almost dark,
Then, folding their sheep. they
hasten to sleep
While every pleasant park
Next morning is ringing with
birds that are singing
On each green, tender bough.
With what content and merrl-
Their days are spent, whose
minds are bent
To follow the useful plow.

AIR FARES CUT
NEAR R. R. COST
Travel Rates to 1877 Cities
Sliced by Plane Lines.

By United Press
CHICAGO, Dec. 28.-Drastic re-
auctions bringing plane rates direct
ly into competition with rail fares
were announced today by the United
Air Lines, effective Jan. i.
Travel by air is made as cheap, or
cheaper, than by Pullman through
the price cut, which affects travel to
1877 cities.
The announcement said fares
would be cut as much as % per cent
in some instances and that round
trip fares would be reduced 10 per
cent.
The reductions apply to travel
over all branches of the air trans
portation system from coast to
coast.
The New York Chicago fare is
cut to $4795 from $3.50. The reduc-
ton brings the cost of air travel be-
tween the two cities somewhat
lower than by first-class rail ticket.
Other reductions announced in
clude Boston to the Pacific coast,
reduced from $215.9S to $175.98; Chi
cago to Pacific coast, $3.50 to $115;
Chicago to Cleveland, $19.75 to
$685., and Cleveland to New York,
$39.75 to $32 round trip.
The new fare from Indianapolis
to San Francisco, going from IN
dianapoliS to Chicago on the EN-
bry-Riddle division, American Air
ways, will be $126, the former price
being $166.

Golf in Midwest
By United Press


CHICAGO, Dec. 28.-Golf ap-
peared today to be likely to remain
the favorite outdoor sport of most
of the midwest until the advent of
the new year, at least.
The Springlike temperatures
which have kept links we'll filed,
with only a few interruptions, for
weeks after the accustomed close
of the season, continued.
In Chicago more than 10000
players made the rounds of their
favorite courses at a time when the
calendar showed the fairways
should be covered with traditional
snow banks.
Farmers in the central states re-
ported their pastures almost as
green as in summer. The ground
is unfrozen and ready for cultiva-
ton.
The United States weather
bureau reported generally fair mild
weather throughout the country
EXCEPT for the north Atlantic
states. where normal winter tenn
peratures prevailed and the Pacific
coast, where a storm was in prog
resS.
No indication was given as to
when the warm spell would end.
Even Medicine Hat, Alberta, for
years circled on forecasters' maps
with red as the 'icebox" of North
America, reported a balmy Al de-
grees above zero.

he called the clamor of fools and
chuckle over vicious SANDER" in the
volume, which is to be brought out
by the Churchill company, New
York, within few weeks.
Daugherty to "TeII All"
In statement, accompanying his

had told a truthful, objective story
of:
The part he played in nominating
Mr. Harding.
The real relationship between the
late President and Mrs. Harding.
The oil scandals.
The Presidents death.
The so-called "Ohio gang"
The book was written in collabo-

known author.
AssaiIs Hoover Statement
Daugherty spoke bitterly of a
statement by President Hoover at
dedication of the Harding memorial
at Marion, o., which charged Har-

friends.
Mr.. Hoover had said the guilt of
these friends" later was proved in
the courts.

His book will devote much space
to an answer to recent volumes

about by Mrs. Harding.
Authors of the books, he said,
were "money-hungry wolves and

FORD'S DEPRESSION VIEWS
BERATED BY ECONOMIST

While Ford has said that charity
"is humiliation pure and simple, 4"
and should be as unnecessary as it
is unnatural" Levin continued:
Hosts of Ford workers are deni-
zens of public soup kitchens and
lodging houses, and thousands of
others have been reduced to skinny
allowances of public and private
charities.
Many part-time workers. not to
mention those laid off and dis
charged, have not received enough
wages to live on, though the profits
of the Ford Motor Company for 1880
we're equivalent to $257.52 share on

SMELL ASSAILS
STAND ON TAX
Hoover Proposal Defended
Against Democrats.

BIZ UHited Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.-A Re-
publican defense against Demo-
cratic attacks upon the administra-
tons tax proposal was made today
by Representative Bertrand H. Smell
of New York, minority floor leader
in the house.
Smell argued that wealth, which
Henry T. Rainey, Democratic floor
leader, said should bear the chief
burden of taxes, would bear the ma
jor part of retroactive taxes. He
said also that all recent tax reduc-
tons have applied retroactively.
The Republican leader praised
Democrats for their cooperation
in President Hoover'S financial re-
lief program, and promised that
Republicans would go as far as the
Democrats in reducing government
expenditures, cardinal point of
Rainey's program.
Il certainly appreciate the fact
that Democrats have co-operated
thus far in the Presidents recon-
struction program and I expect they
will continue to cooperate until
it is completed" Smell said.

Residents, warned of the break by

Merchants had prepared for the

Conyicts from the Parchman state

NEWTON BAKER
IN STATE TODAY
War Secretary to Speak at
Dinner in Winchester.

More than 1000 Indiana Demo-
cratic leaders and workers were
travelling from all sections of the
state to Winchester today to hear
Newton D. Baker, Democratic presi-
dental possibility, deliver an eulogy
on the wartime President, at the
annual Woodrow Wilson dinner
there.
The former secretary of war left
Cleveland this morning and is ex-
pected to return Tuesday.
Dispatches from that city today
declared that Bakers silence re-
garding his political intentions is a
passive acquiescence to the "draft"
plan of his friends, according to
former Congressman Martin Davey,
chief Baker sponsor in Ohio.
1t has been learned that the two
conferred recently regarding the
situation.
Reaction of his Indiana visit and
address will be watched closely
over the nation.
Charles Wall, Randolph county
chairman, is in charge of the din
ner arrangements.
