that is not without merit. He says
that if people who are yelling state
hood so loudly and loading up the
mails with pictures of Indian huts,
adobe houses, giant sahuaras and des-
ent scenes as representing the beauties
and wonders of Arizona, would send
fewer pictures of that sort and more
pictures Of flower gardens, alfalfa pas
lures and handsome residences and
lawns the campaign of education
would be more effective

Throughout the central valleys and In

Complaints Of drought are also re-
ceived from southern California and

WHAT'S IN A NAME?
COURIER PIANO CONTEST MAY
BRING ROMANCE INTO LIVES
OF YOUNG PEOPLE.
Great Poet All Right In His Time But
Courier Has Proof That Name Does
Count With Young Iowans Of Pres.
ent Day and Age.

the worlds greatest poet, when he
asked What's in a name?" and de.
clared that a rose would smell as
sweet called by any other name might
nave been ali right in his own day, but
mis- argument will hardly do in this
DAY and age of piano and sewing ma
chine contests, and when Young Ameri
cans, and especially Iowans, are to be
dealt with. A young Iowan, whose
age Is unknown and whose name shall
be unm entioned, has been smitten
with the sweet and romantic sounding
name of one of the girls in the Courier
piano contest and writes candid and
apparently sincere letter to the girl
and asks that she write to him.
A Further lnducement.
The young man as further induce
ment to win the favor Of the fair con-
testant encloses 500 votes to be en-
tered in ner favor in the contest He
is candid young man for he states
frankly that he has another girl and
intimates that If she were engaged in
the contest he might possibly have
given the votes to her.
While it is impossible to read the
course of future events with absolute
certainty it is not difficult to see how
pretty little romance in the lives of
two Wapello county young people may
grow out of this Courier piano and
sewing machine contest. And if the
girl happens to be a winner of either
a piano or sewing machine and If
Well! well! wouldn't 1t all be very
pretty and sweet?
Here is the letter and the best
wishes of the Courier goes with it:
Dear Miss --:
"You will find enclosed 500 votes
which you may deposit in your behalf
in the contest for the piano. Despite
the fact that don't know you I like
your name anyhow, and I sincerely
hope that you win out. You see my
girl is not in the contest or I'd have
to vote for her.
IF you are real appreciative you
might drop me line and acquaint me
of the fact Tell me about yourself
your aspirations in life, your vocation
and what you live for.

ceeas Urged by Geo College Official se
Arulat In Steesirn Smoking.

Cedar Rapids, Dee, s--That smoking
among, the college men should cease
was the burden Of an admonitory lee
ture by Dean Stookey. acting president
OF Coe,. ut chapel exercises. Coo has
always been known for the high charRe-
ter OF her students, and for the past
dozen years smoking has been practi-
caliy unknown. In fact, at present.
there Is no smoking on the campus, but
some Of the students are accustomed
to use the tioxious weed In their rooms.
The fact was not generally known
among the st dents, until Dean
stookey made his statements in chapel.
He SAID that he had called on an err
rand at the rooms of some of the
young men and found the room full of
smoke. Another, when he entered,
presented the atmosphere of the aver
age smoking car. He said that 1t was
recognized that this was not matter
for faculty action, but he urged the
students to create such an atmosphere
in the college that smoking would
quickly become unfashionable.
He said that once before, since his
connection with the college, smoking
seemed fashionable among small
portion Of the young men, but that
through the influence of the young la
dies the habit was soon stopped, and
he more than intimated that the goods
could do much to eradicate the present
invasion Of the habit.
