In that state. farmers who
buy and sell through co-ops
did a total business of almost
S35. 100000 in 1884 as COM
pared with S27,000,000 in
1888. Both volume and sales
were substantially larger.
MIX marketing associa-
tions handled 5 per cent
more milk. and the value
was 40 per cent higher. Egg
marketing groups sold so per
cent more eggs and livestock
associations increased their
volume by 60 per cent.
Finally. the total member
ship of Pennsylvania farmers
in cooperative associations
in 1884 amounted to 1858
an advance of l6 per cent
over the previous year.
Similar records have been
made in other states, on
greater or smaller scales.

ARIZONA NOTES
Stanley y. Tess

The State Of Arizona has
received another nice bit of
publicity. this time in the
August number of Cosmopol-
itan Magazine. Carveth
Wells. international explor-
er. has an article entitled
Let's be Gasoline Gypsies"
in which he says among other
things about Arizona that
Somehow the name Arizo-
ma conjures up pictures of
terrifying deserts. lonely
trails. and adobe huts. but
those days have gone forev-
er. Splendid highways. fine
hotels. and modern tourist
courts have made the state
Just as simple and comfort
able to explore "a any other
part Of America"
Perhaps some Arizonians
will wonder why there is
such a sudden outbreak of
interest in Arizona among
the big magazines. whereas
a few years ago the state
was pretty completely ig-
nored by these same publica-
tons. As a matter of fact.
the average magazine is put
together TO please the adver-
tiser. as we'll as the reader.
Owing TO the fact the Ari-
Zona organizations have been
buying space in national
magazines, the editorial de-
partments of said magazines
have begun to take notice of
Arizona. not only for the
purpose of constructive ad-
vice TO readers, but also in
the hope of encouraging
further advertising by Arizo-
ma groups.
II is an axiom of the pub
fishing world that properly
placed paid advertising will
usually (but not always) be
accompanied by free adver-
tising in the reading columns
which advertising is often
times worth several times
the cost of the paid space.
Perhaps you have wonder
ed why California has got
ten so much mention and at
tention in all kinds of pub
locations in years past. The
answer lies in the size of the
advertising budgets of Cal
ifornia Chambers of Com
merce. hotels, and other or
ganiZations.
To find her place in the sun,
Arizona has but to follow
the time worn formula of
the editorial mention. So
long as magazines continue
to exist, this formula will
never fail. Every dollar
that goes out for advertising.
if Wisely placed, will come
back tenfold in the form of
increased business.

COMMUNISTS ARE
 NOT ALLOWED IN

Atlantic City, N. J., Oct. 14-(UP) Officers of the American Fedora tion of Labor ordered doors of their convention hall barred and guarded today against a feared invasion by communists of New York, Philadel- phia, Camden and other nearby in- dustrial centers.
 Police had no confirmation of re- ports that communists planned a demonstration but prepared, with emergency squads and plain clothes men about the convention hall, to route any marchers who appeared
 Convention delegates were requir- ed to register before each session at the one convention hall door left open.
 Communists have demonstrated at each of the last three federation conventions, in Boston, Washington and San Francisco. Communists feel that the A. F. of L. is too Paci- fic in making demands on employ CTS. The A. F. of L., on the other hand, considers the communist party "wrecking crew"

SLAYER ADMITS
 HE KILLED THREE

Salt Lake City, Utah, Oct 14- UP)-George Leo Rutledge, 31, con- fessed to police today that he "might have" killed three persons and wounded two others last night. In announcing the paroial confession, Police Chief w. L. Payne said he was convinced the unemployed butcher from San Diego, Calif., was the killer. Payne booked the pris- oner on murder charges.
 A woman identified as Blanche Nelson was slain and her body thrown from an automobile on the. Ogden highway north of here. Po- lice believed she had been riding with Rutledge.
 Their theory was that Rutledge shot the woman, turned his gun on MT. and Mrs. Lorin East who chanced to be near, and later shot George Rich, 9, he passed in an automobile, and finally wounded man identified as Keith Secrist, 24.
 Mir and Mrs. East were slain. Rich suffered critical head wound. Secrist was said to be near death.
 Rutledge was arrested here soon after companions of rich furnished officers with a description of the killers car.

Mexico Exposed By Report or Investigating Board

commencing in 1926" it continued, the records of the Roman Catholic church authorities indicate that there were 4,963 Roman Catholic priests throughout the various states in Mexico, serving protesting Catholic population of upward of 100000.
 "The total number of priests at present functioning in 30 states is 197, of whom 166 are in the three so-called liberal states of San Luis Potosi, Oaxaca, Jalisco and the fed eral district"
 As to religious education, the com- mittee said, "it is the view amongst educators in Mexico that socilistic education in one form or another is ultimately intended to provide a materialistic and atheistic form of instruction for the youth in primary and elementary schools"
 The report was written by Arthur J. Brown, chairman of the larger committee and secretary eremitus of the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions. He pointed out in a fore- word, as confirmation of the repu- tation's findings, President Carde- mass decree in September national izing church properties. He called this one of the harshest and most oppressive anti-reflgious laws ever passed in any land," and urged strong protest from friends of re- ligious liberty against Mexico's pro- gram.

 New York, Oct. 14.-(UP)-Stocks absorbed profit-taking in the first part of to-day's session and then turned about with vigorous rally that carried the list up fractions to more than 3 points and brought the Dow-Jones industrial average to a new high since 1881.
 Chrysler featured, reaching its best level since 1929 above 30 in contrast with its 1885 low at 31. To- days gai namounted to more than 2 points and was inspired by indi- cations of further heavy produc- tion in automobile plants. The same reason sent General Motors to it's high and brought buying into other motor and motor equipment shares.
 Heaviest trading of the day was in Radio-Keith-Orpheum which rose to a new high for the year when it was learned that Radio Corporation had arranged to sell a block of its RKO holdings to Atlas Corporation, giving the latter an op- portunity to purchase the remain der later. That also appeared to be favorable for radio common stock which advanced on huge volume in long strings on the tape. Radio pre- ferred B gained more than 3 points.
 The latter issues were strong all day. But the general list ran into profit-taking after firm opening.
 Recovery in the rails came shortly after J. M. Davis. president of Dela- ware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Company had said there was no government ownership of the carriers in sight and that the roads would be able to get out of their financial difficulties when bus ines spicked up.

speed. It was decided to create even a third subcommittee to in- sure that league members will apply all the required sanctions as soon as possible.
 Need For Speed.
 Great Britain, represented by Capt Anthony Eden, was strongly back of the need for speed, apparently fearing that Italy might achieve her aims in Africa if there is too much delay.
 The "big committee" of 52 promptly approved the six-point program drafted by the committee of 18. It accepted the lesser com- mittee's recommendations for facil- itating early enforcement of sanc- tions by league members, and the ; resolution recommending that all league members establish a drastic embargo on loans, credits and stocks destined for the Italian government by individuals.
 The decisions of the smaller com- mittee were made at two-hour meeting. During it the Soviet Un- ion, South Africa and Canada strongly criticized Argentina's atti- tude. The latter agreed with reser- vations to support sanctions but pointed out that Argentina has an Italian population of 100000 and must obtain the consent of its par lament Text of French Proposal
 The text of the French proposal submitted by Coulondre read:
 "The committee of IS decide to submit to immediate study the ap- plication of measures concerning an embargo against Italy of raw ma terials and key products necessary for the continuance of hostilities as well as the stoppage of Italian ex- ports to states which are members of the League of Nations.
 "The committee of IS decide to study simultaneously under what conditions the principal of mutual assistance outlined in article 16 paragraph three of the covenant applicable to the economic field.
 "A second subcommittee shall be constituted for this purpose. The committee of Is invite the sub-com- mittees to pursue their labors with the greatest possible speed. As soon as either of the two sub-commit- tees reaches a concrete conclusion on any point, it shall submit them to the committee of 18."
 The committee of 52 adopted a resolution stipuplating that humani- tarian institutions shall be exempted from financial and economic sanc- tions.

New York, Oct. 14-(U.P0-A re- ligious rights investigation of Mex ico, made by a Jew, Protestant and a Roman Catholic, resulted in a new charge to-day that "the de- liberate purpose of the government policy is not merely the correction of alleged abuses, but the extirpa- tion of all religion in the country"
 The American committee on reli- gious rights and mlnorities sent to Mexico, last summer, Dr. Philip Marshall Brown, former professor of international law at Princeton, Carl Sherman, former New York state attorney general, and William Franklin Sands, former diplomat. They based their report on laws passed by the revolutionary party regime.
 By virtue of these laws, as fully as can be ascertained," the report declared, "all churches, convents, monasteries and seminaries in Mex ico have been nationalized. Between November l, 1881, and March 15, 1885. 266 churches and rectories in various states have been retired from religious uses by decrees of the pres- ident, and a number of these have been razed or converted to other uses.

their plan of campaign be described in the words usually applied to a military struggle. All that can be said is that they are firmly con- vinced that semi-medieval force, brought somewhat up to date by ac- quisition of a few machine guns and a little barbed wire, is more than a match for any number of Italians.
 The morale of Nassibu's troops has scared with receipt here of re- ports from the north that Ras Kas- sa, governor of Gojjam, is heading toward the invaders with 50,000 ri- flemen and that he has already suc- cessfully counterattacked the Ak sum-AduWa line.
 Italian Advance Checked
 According to these reports, the accuracy of which cannot be check ed on this remote front, the Italian advance has been checked both in the north and on the southern front.
 For the first time since the war drums summoned Ethiopia's war riors, women-Who have persisted in following their men with pots pans and babies - were recognized today as warriors in their own right We saw scores of them chatter1ng gleefully as they clambered aboard camions with their sons, brothers and husbands and snatched eagerly for the rifles of ancient vintage is sued to them.
 Both men and women fighters unquestionably accepted reports current here that their emperor IS holding the Italian minister captive in the royal palace at Addis Ababa and that Ethiopian troops have cap tured Italian stores and tanks or the Ogaden front.
 Silence At Headquarters
 The complete silence surrounding the headquarters where NaSSibu and his chieftains are in conclave serves only to foster spread of the wild rumors-all of the most op- timistic tone-that reach the camp by the grapevine route. The origina- tors of these reports, and those whc magnify them as they pass along are able to create the most vivid &C., counts purporting to describe actua developments. The absence of actua4 news, which was producing an un- dercurrent of mortal fear, could perhaps be dissipated only by such fictitious accounts of triumphS.
 Lashed into a frienzy of patriotism ty their emperor, Nassibu's troops are eager to rush toward the front where they hope to halt the Italian invaders.
