A hopeless future-death by guns,

slaughts against them.

Disease Takes Heavy Toll.
Evidence that disease is already
taking its toll is seen in intelligence

(New Guinea) 80 dead Japs were
found at the bottom Of a deep gorge
and there was evidence that they
had fallen, through weakness, from
a rope ladder.

A recital by Artur Rubinstein is
different from that of any other
artist. The noted Polish pianist is
50 far above the need of considering
technical problems that he plays
with particular ease and is so
thoroughly immersed in the inter-
probation of his numbers that his
audience is carried along with the
fascinating recreation at the piano.
His appearance yesterday brought
out throngs of his admirers who
submitted with enjoyment to the
power he welded.
He began and ended his program
with two remarkable selections that
drew on all his powers both techni-
cal and interpretive, the Bach
Busoni "Chaconne" for the first
and the Stravinsky "Petrouchka"
for the last. In between he gave
his listeners some Of his inimitable
playing Of Chopin and three familiar

fingers flashed in lightning runs in
fourths or octaves, or produced

artist TO his feet for an instant.

Wage Ceilings For Cotton Picking
Set And Local Administrators Named
War Food Administration releases additional enforcement

The War Food Administration
has released additional information
and appointed local committees in
connection with enforcement of
wage ceilings for cotton picking.
1t is pointed out that these regu-
lations are now in effect and have
been since the issuance of the Or
der on September 21st, and that
the rates set are for the whole
picking season, no difference being
provided for as between first, sec
ond or third pickings, etc. The
rates set are not intended as an
amount which shall be paid, and
the intention is not to fix the price
of cotton picking, but only to fix
a top rate which must not be ex-
ceeded. The order reads in part:

Bears Win 3rd
Straight Game;
At Home Tonight
Local eleven to face strong
Superior squad while in
juries may keep McEuen
and Davis on bench.

The Coolidge Bears made it three
in a row Friday when they whipped
a fighting Casa Grande team 33 to
6. The Bears had too much all
around speed and power for the
Cougars to cope with. The Coug
ars scored their lone touchdown in
the fourth quarter when Reed
dashed 20 yards off tackle.
The bears face Superior tonight
minus the services of Mack Nc
Euen and Jimmie Davis, both high
scoring backs. The Superior Panth-
ers have fast and versatile team
with smooth passing attack. They
also beat the Cougars and played
the Miami eleven to a tie. With
McEuen and Davis out it looks like
the breaks may decide the game.
Casa Grande received to open the
game but couldn't gain and kicked
to the Bears who returned to their
own forty. The Coolidge boys
moved down the field on a sus
tanned drive with Eddie Schell
sprinting 20 yards for the first
score. Jimmie Davis scored the
second touchdown in the same
quarter on forty yard dash
through the middle of the Casa
Grande team. He was aided by
some nice blocking by Kenny
Trout, AL Singh and Clint Skrla.
The Bears scored again in the
second quarter when Skrla threw
20 yard pass to Tony Ciskowski,
who went to the five yard line. The
next play was another pass to Cis-
kowski who went over for the third
score. Davis converted.
To open the second half Casa
Grande showed their best offense,
ruling off three first downs be-
fore the Bears frightened and held.
When the Coolidge boys again got
the ball they worked it to mid
field where Davis again broke away
and went fifty yards for the Bears
fourth touchdown. Trout convert
ed to make the score 26 to O. Dav-
is was hurt on the play and was
replaced by Red Veazey, who ram
med across the final score late IN
the third quarter with Ciskowski
converting. The reserves finished
the game for Coolidge and played
the Cougars on even terms except
for Reeds touchdown jaunt.
The entire Coolidge squad looked
good ON offense with good down
field blocking and backs running
hard. Leonard Burtcher, Stanley
Ellis and Oscar Montgomery, all
tackles, and Jack Havens, guard,
looked good on defense Wayne
Ellege, half back, was still nursing
an injured ankle, but turned in his
usual steady game.

The order recites that the Ariz-

order, and that this specific wage
ceiling regulation shall be deemed
part of the regulations issued
January 20, 1914, and that any vio-

regulations.
At a meeting with farmers and
local committee members held late
last week in Casa Grande repre-

which would bring the total above
the ceiling figure.

such wage or picking outlays as a
