POLITICAL Program
Next Week

The Coolidge Methodist Church
is sponsoring a program next Tues
day, August %, at p. m. on the
lawn of the church to which all
candidates are invited, each of
whom will be granted time to adj
dress the public.
Ice cream will be served and an
interesting program is expected.
The purpose of the program is to
raise funds to apply on Indebtedness
of the church. For that reason,
while no charge will be made for
speaking privilege, a voluntary of
fering will be accepted from any
one caring to make it. In this pro
gram the church is non-partisan
extending these privileges to all
candidates on the same terms and
conditions.

Large Increase Shown
In School Attendance

1t is fitting to note that in the
last six years considerable progress
has been made in the school sy-
stem of the county. Since 1884 there
has beel. an increase of 40 per cent
in the average daily attendance in
the schools of the county and dur
ing the past year a 16 per cent in
crease in the schools.
One of the outstanding items
worth considering is the indebted
ness against the school districts
of Pinal County in 1888. The bond
ed Indebtedness of the school dis
tricts at that time was $520,000.00.
today the net Indebtedness against
the district is $242, 10000, less than
one-half. During that same time the
Coolidge Union High School was
constructed and many other school
plant Improvements made. The val
uation of the school property of the
county during this time has advanc-
ed $25O,OOO.OO.
With the large increase in enroll
ment in the schools of the county,
it has become necessary to add TO
the teaching staff. During the pres
ent year there were 1872 teachers
employed in the schools. Consider
ing the fact that the growth in
scholastic population would neces-
sarily increase the school budget,
the tobal school budget of the
county as a whole is still far below
that of the pre-depression period.
Another item of great significance
is the advancement made in the
educational requirements of teach
ers during this time. The faculties
of today have at least eighteen
semester hours more training than
they had in 1880

Behind the Scenes In
American Business"
BY JOHN CRADDOCK

BUSINESS - Prices in retail
stores registered the smallest
monthly decline during July since
September, 1897, when a downtrend
began that has lowered average re-
tail prices nearly eight per cent.
Reports from the country's manu-
featuring plants continue to ind;-
cate reyiying employment Last
week thousands of kilograms were
sent to employees OF leading motor
plants telling them to report for
work Immediately. Intensive opera
ions in the Detroit area are about
TO start. Americas export trade is
holding up nicely. Business pros
poets generally are bright, except
for a distributing decline in farm
prices the last few weeks. In the
last month cash wheat prices have
dropped about nine cents a bushel,
corn 10 cents. rye 10 cents, oats
five cents, pork $3.50 a barrel and
beef $500 a barrel This means a
loss of rural purchasing power,
which enlightened business men
today recognize as an indispensable
factor in keeping the wheels of
industry turning
FOREIGN EXCHANGE-Europ-
can cables bring rumors of another
impending financial crisis in France
and hint at further devaluation of
the franc. To bankers, foreign ex-
change is a fascinating subject,
but to the average layman it's all
Greek. What makes currencies
fluctuate? There are many factors,
of course. involving confidence in
a governments political and eco
nomic stability. But international
trade plays a big role too. Suppose,
for example, an English importer
buvs 100000 bushels of corn IN
the U. S. at so cents a bushel. In
doing so, he has to take his own
money pounds sterling-and bid for
400 600 American dollars in the
money market Just as at an auc-
ton, his bidding tends to boost
the price" of dollars. English pa
pers that night will read, Dollar
rises" while American papers at
the same time will read, Pound
sterling declines" That's one rea-
son why France, which has import
ed more goods than she has ex-
ported every year except two since
1920, has had a gradual decline in
the value of its franc. The excess
of imports had to be paid for in
dollars and other foreign curren-
cies purchased with francs.
CLOSE SHAVES-Men with whi-
skers, who use more than billion
