up-to-date comedy, introducing a com
pany of artists of ability, beautiful cos

he could turn his hands to nothing. One day he saw sOi ne ono buy a pop corn ball for five cents- He knew enough about the price of the raw ma terjal of the pop corn bal to know that an immense profit had been made in that transactiCn. He bought S2.00 worth of popcorn and q quantity ot sugar. That was the heglnnirg of the fortune which t2 less than ten ears ran into the millions.
 Mrs. White made the popcorn balls and White carried he n into the street. in 9 basket and sold tf em. It appea- :s that though pop corn balls had To lS been on the market il had occurred to no hawker to peddle them so that Inc had a field to himself. In the co' nsc of the next few dayT q great r Iany people were eating popcorn bal $ 70 whose attention they would not have been brought if it had not bee n for White. The popcorn ball b' Isiness grew until White and his wife co ulS not handle it alone.
 Everybody whom White accostcd did not want popcorn balls but he Deliev- cd that everybody wanted som ething and that belief led aim into the manu- facture of other 1irGs of cOnfeC tionery but only such kinds as would yield an immense profit. His ideas of the per cent a merchant or a manufacturer ought to make were based or his pop corn ball experience.
 He easily saw that the five cent package of cheIzi ng gum was gold nugget in compari- son with the pop corn ball q nd that i+ the way he came to emba rk in the chewing gum trade which in less than i a dozen years by the means of liberal advertising became so grel& that the yearly output of the factory was es- timated only by car loads. White i had in the meantime removed to Cleve- | iand. It was there that he made the first chewing gum.
 Within ten years from he winter ] day that starvation drove him intc ! the business of making pop corn balls ] which was cfte- ell only an apr -'entice-

THE ARIZONA NEWS
A Newspaper Designed to Help All
 Rusinesi Enterprises.

The "Arizora Mining and Hotel News," which was published here last sea ,on by Nickerson & Wilson, and VI ich has been enjoying a vacation c airing the last two months, will re- sume publication again next Saturday under the better and more comprehen- sive name Arizona News
 This is a unique publication, was well patronized during the last year, and no doubt will be during the coming win ter It's mission is not to crowd other newspapers off the face of the earth, but to acquaint the great investing public in the east and the many tour lsts coming west, with the opportuni- ties for investment in Arizona, and in general to give currency to important news connected with the development of this section. In that way it to make business for everybody Nickerson & Wilson are engaged in the business of mine promotion, and through the me dium of this journal they speak to the public fer themselves and every ener- getic business man in the community
 As a newspaper enterprise it is not designed to be a money maker. What over profit is derived from it's publica- ton is at once applied to extending it's circulation that it may bring larger
 returns to advertisers, among whom
 lra the proprietoTs of the paper.
 It's circulation last year was extcn-
 zive and brought good results. It is placed on both railroad H-e5 SO that every incoming passenger can secure a copy before reaching the city. Not only that, but the eastern offices of the railroad companies are supplied with copies for distribution in their adver- Using departments. It is placed in all
 hotels. and in addition to the regular subscription list local advertisers may mail copies to eastern cores pondents, all for the sole purpose of letting the
 woi ld know what is going on in Ari- zona.
 The proprie.crs, who as mentioned above maEe nothing out of it. are pleased with the result Of last years work and with the patronage given them by local advertisers. But they expect this year to secure even more liberal patronage. and as natural re- suit much wider circulation. It is tD be a business paper fer business peo- pie and a purveyor Of general informa- tion that will interest everyone. from the health-seeker and home-seeker to the capitalist.

drought-resisting powers enable it to flourish where no large American tree will grow It yields oil gum, nectar for honey bees, furnishes shade for the ranch house, windbreaks for field crops and firewood for localities where fuel is scarce But it's chief value lies in the possibilities it holds for the reforesta- ton of the bare, dry mountain sides or the desert country and for the protec- ton of irrigating streams. It is spec ially adapted for such purposes by reason of it's rapidity of growth in arid soil.
 No American species can equal the extraordinary development of this eX- otic from remote Australia. On the ranch of Elwood Cooper, near Santa Barbara, Cal, there are eucalyptus Z5 years old, as great in girth as oaks of 300 years. And time and again the species called blue gum has, when cut to the ground, sent up sprouts from the stump which in eight years have reach ed a height of 100 feet. Nor does this Tapidity of growth shorten the fife Ot the tree, for the eucalyptus, in its Australian home, reaches great age and rivals in size the giant redwoOds and big trees of California.
