ARIZONA STORE
Kept by Young Woman Formerly of
 Meriden.

Miss Elizabeth Coughlin of Phoenix, Ariz., is the guest of her sister, Mrs. Rose Morris, of Hillside avenue. says the Meriden Record.
 It is fourteen years since Miss Coughlinis last trip east, and she talks very interestingly of the west and of Arizona, which was recently made a state.
 Phoenix is one of the largest cities in She state, with a population of about 15,000. which is double that figure in the winter. when the people from the east go westward to enjoy the delight full climate.
 Summer lasts from May until Octo- Der, the temperature often reaching 120 degrees. Very little rain falls in this part of the country and since last January there was only one day that the sun did not shine. Sand storms occur quite frequently and windows and GoCrs have to be closed tightly Wht'e they are in progress. The air is much cooler afterward.
 The climate is delightful. summer clothing being worn the entire year. The soil is very fertile, alfalfa being very easy to raise and it is quite com mon to have seven crops one season. Oranges and cantaloupes are grown in abundance. the fruit being large and luscious. Flowers of every description adorn the yards of the pretty one floor bungalows which dot the city, and while New Englanders are suffering from intense cold at Christmas time the inhabitants of Phoenix are picking douelc Jack roses for the festive sea son.
 Palm trees grow to a great height and have immense trunks. They arc kept trimmed and the waste leaves are used to coved summer houses and veranJas. They have very cooling effect aGd are also waterproof. MoSt of the inhabitants sleep out of do DTS, some ca porches. while others nave their couches on the lawns. The even ings are delightfully."- cool and refresh ing.
 People with tubercular trouble come from all over the country to Arizona. The air is very dry and patients i'm prove rapidly in this invigorating cli- mate.
 Most of the inhabitants ride horse back and think nothing of a thirty five mile jaunt in the morning.
 There are numbers of poisonous rep tiles and insects in this part of the country.
 There are many churches. theaters. hotels. and a splendid hospital under the direction of the Sisters of Mercy.
 No pennies are in circulation, a nickel being the smallest coin used.
 Most New Englanders having once lived in Arizona would never think of living in the east again.
 Miss Coughlin is a business -woma n and runs a large department store. She will visit in Boston New York and Chicago before her return west.

 Conn:
 Dear Sir: It is hardly necessary to call your attention to the obvious gen. eral interest which exists al the pres ent time in Connecticut regarding a public utilities commission. We be- lieve that a fuller, freer and franker discussion of this subject than has so far been had is desirable. We realize that every public service corporation which such a commission might regu- late is a creature of the state. We ap- preciate. nevertheless, that these cor porations are of great good to the state and have played d large and important part in her industrial and financial de- Velopment We believe that nothing should be done to hamper their useful ness, but it also appears to us reason able that the public itself should insist that it's rights be carefully safeguarded and that a commission exist whose prime object be the conserving of the public welfare.
 It has occurred to us as it's officers that the Connecticut Editorial associa- tion, representing in it's membership a very large proportion of the influential daily and weekly newspapers of the state, can do mutual service in better presenting both sides of this question. To that end may we ask you as presi- dent of the largest public service cor poration in Connecticut. to give us your views on the entire subject, in cluding what sort of a public service commission, if any, you would favor. the manner of its appointment and the. scope of it's powers.
 We write you without direct author ity of the association which we repre- sent, but without fear of it's disap- proval. Should you see fit to address communication to us on the subject, we will place this letter and your reply thereto in the hands of every member of our association, and have no doubt that substantially all of them will find the matter so interesting as to give it early publication.
 Yours respectfully,
