BOYD OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER FOR PINAL COUNTY Entered at the Post Office at Casa Grande, Arizona, as second class matter, September 6th, 1924. Subscription Price Months $2.50 per year $1.50 Advertising 40c per column inch. Classified or readers lOc per line. Count five and one-half words to line and send cash with order. This newspaper is a member of ARIZONA NEWSPAPERS For Greater PubKc Service "THE END OF THE DEPRESSION" Into that now time-worn question, "When will the depression has recently crept a distinct tone of hope and expectancy.

Having, along with everyone else, been asked the question several thousand times, we shall now risk the danger of being termed a fool by answering The period of "depression" in the meaning that is commonly given the of "hard times?" has already ended for many businesses, and will never end for others. Those who wait for prices to reach anything like the old levels of '29 and '30 before going ahead with an agressive program wifi not survive the next two years. Those who recognize the fact that it is not price level, but deflation adjustment, that gives color to the balance sheet, will have enticed a reasonable degree of prosperity into their places of business in the near future if they have not already done so. One large company which has done a good business even during the year, has this to say: "Our greatest national economic asset remains WILL TO PROSPER of the American people! "The needs of people do not vanish in times of only'changes are in the requirements which individuals and companies must meet to cope new conditions. "Fundamentals are reverted to.

Values are weighed more carefully. Dollars spent only where their purchasing power has been increased." As it is the day of Opportunity with individuals whojwill look conditions squarely in the face, and cope with them vigorously and intelligently, so it is also the day of opportunity for Casa Grande as a city. With all our natural resources and advantages, it is our firm belief that we can forge from the crucible of these so-called "hard times" a golden era of prosperity the like of which has never before been known in Casa Grande valley. To this end every business man who courageously readjusts himself-to the new price scale, forgets the lossesjof the diligently; applies himself to present! day'tasks, will be an effective contributor. We suggest readers; keep their eyes open for such businessesrand for their own sakes patronize them.

The end of the present unemployment situation will gradually! disappear with the resumption of normal, readjusted activities and returning prosperity among business institutions. -o- AN ARDUOUS TASK COMPLETED We imagine that in the breast of Mr. A. T. Kil name has become indissolubly linket Grande-Gila Bend highway, at present crease, whose with the Casa resides a feeling of deep satisfaction such as comes to most men only a few times in the span of life.aiu to some never.

For as fair as is humanly possible in this vale human uncertlainties, he has brought to a successful and satisfying conclusion one of the most arduous tasks ever undertaken by a Casa Grandean in behalf of bis fellow citizens. He is carrying in his pocket, tel egrams from all five of the Highway Commissioners pledging themselves to the program which will give us the oil surfacing of our road simultaneously that of the Erirenberg road, both to be set up in th next budget. This agreement has also been recorded in th minutes of the Highway Commission. Al Condron, secretary of the-Tucson Chamber Commerce, A. L.

Gardner, president, of the Borde Sunshine Highway Association, and others have beei staunch allied in the prolonged fight for-the short transcontinental route, but it is. our honest opinion that without the unceasing, untiring, unswerving ari( dauntless efforts of Mr. Kilcrease and his intelligen leadership in times; of crisis, our dream pf an all-hard --p-ice southern route would now be at the vamshhr rather than at the point of realization.
