KEEP MONEY AT HOME.

Editorial from the Arizona Democrat. Jan 21s. 1s1)
The Occidental Life Insurance Company
of Arizona is peculiarly home institution
and is Justly entitled to the undivided sup
port of the people of Arizona. This cor
poration is utilizing the funds secured
through its business in developing Arizona,
and is the only corporation OF its kind doing
business in the territory. The people as
rule are prone to send their money abroad
for investment. Many Phoenix people, and,
in fact, people throughout the territory,
send to Los Angeles and other cities for
their dry goods, clothing, furniture, etc.
The real truth of the matter is they could
secure just as good goods in Phoenix as
they buy in those cities, and just as cheap
We have the finest dry goods establish
ments, clothing stores and furniture en-
poriums in the southwest. The Doris
Heyman furniture establishment has few
equals, if any, on the coast. This is true as
regards dry goods. The New York and
Boston stores and the Goldwater Bros, are
all first-class. This, too, is true of our
clothing houses. Goldberg Bros. the Hub
and the McDougall- Cassou establishments
are all first class, and the prices are reas-
enable
Then why send to Los Angeles for your
goods? These men all pay taxes in Phoenix
and contribute in every way to its upbuild-
ing, and it is a crime to send your money to
Los Angeles or any other outside city fer
things you can purchase at home.
Now this same rule applies to the life in
surance business. The Occidental is a
Phoenix Kan Arizona institution. 1t is
honest is fair in its dealings, and it is en-
titled to the entire insurance business of
this city and territory.

CHILDREN
TO CONTEST
FOR MEDALS
Best RGCitGFS Are TO StPug-
gle for Supremacy.
Council Of Safety Chapter, D. A. R.
Offers Medal for the Two School
Children AdjudgGd the Best ElOCu-
tiOniStS in Public Contest.

Council Of Safety Chapter, Daughters
OF the American Revolution, has offer
ed TWO medals to the children making
the best recitations at a contest Of the
school children to be held in the audi
forum Of the High School on the nigh,
Of February %,
One medal will be given to the boy
whose recitation is adjudged the best
and the other will go TO the girl who
wins the approval OF the judges.
No limit is placed upon the ages ot
those entering the contest, the only
restriction being that the contestants
must be in attendance on the schools
of the city.
Each child can select its own piece
to be recited on this occasion. Natur-
ally the thoughts of the children, IN
such a day, will be more than apt 10
run toward patriotic selections and
those of a stirring martial nature.
Children who desire to enter the
contest can give their names and their
selections to their teachers who Will
notify Mrs. Howell Simmons, who VIII
later announce the full program for
what will doubtless prove a very inter-
esting occasion.
A small fee will be charged the gen
eral public for admission to the audi
forum. The proceeds are to be en-
tirely devoted to the fitting up Of Reas
Park as a playground for the school
children.
This is a work the D. A, R. has I'M
dertaken. 1t is proposed to clean up
the park, make a garden of one end of
it and in the other portion put various
apparatus that will make it a pleasure
ground for the boys and girls.
With such a worthy object in view,
and the entertainment otherwise ap-
pealing to the parents and friends Of
all the participants, it is to be expect
ed that a large audience will gather at
the High School on the night of Wash
ington's birthday.

A REMINDER OF MORGAN'S RAID.

The Springfield (Ohio) Republican
has called attention to the fact that q
monument has recently been erected
on a farm in Columbiana county, of
that state, which marks the farthest
northern part reached by the Contad-
crate forces during the Civil War, and
the spot where Gen John H. Morgan
the famous Southern cavalry leader,
surrendered which is we'll north #
Gettysburg.
For many years, says the Republic
can, IAN old locust tree marked the
place of surrender, but short time
ago it died and was cut down, the
stump being taken to East Liverpool,
Ohio, and placed in the public library
for safe keeping as a relic. 1t was the
idea Of the late W. L. Thompson, the
weIl-known song writer, who lived
near the scene of the fight, to erect a
monument to mark the spot"
1t appears that Mr. Thompson died
soon after he had got his funds we'll
started. but his friends took up the
work and carried out his plans. A year
ago a large granite bowlder was put in
place, but it was not until a few weeks
ago that the bronze tablet was attach
ed to the bowlder and the monument
formally dedicated The tablet bears
the following inscription: This stone
marks the spot where the Confederate
raider, Gen John H. Morgan, surrend-
cred his command to Major George W.
Rue, July &c, 1863, and is the farthest
point north ever reached by any body
of Confederate troops during the Civil
War."
Tie monument is near the town OF
Nellesville, and it is safe to say that
every Southerner who goes there will
not fail to visit the monument which
stands mute reminder of the great
raid of the intrepid Morgan.

THE INCOME TAX MUST COME.

The income tax amendment to the
Federal Constitution is now on its way
through the legislatures of a number
OF states and the returns thus far are
encouraging to the advocates of the
measure. Every state that has voted
on it this year has given it prompt APP
proval, Arkansas and North Carolina
being the latest to ratify the amend
ment. Their legislatures We're practi-
cally unanimous, and those of Indiana
and Ohio exhibited almost the same
unanimity, and it is believed that the
amendment will be approved by the
Massachusetts legislature now in ses-
sion.
There is a considerable speculation
as to the action that will be taken bv
the Democratic legislature of New
York when the amendment is brought
up for consideration. The platform of
the New York Democrats contains a
strong declaration in favor Of an n
come tax, but if reports be true that
Wall street influence is all powerful at
Albany there is not much reason 70
hope for the ratification of the amend
ment by the Empire State. The ap-
proval of it, however, by some of the
larger states which were supposed 20
be hostile to it indicate that the tax
will prevail
The movement is in keeping with the
worldwide tendency toward lessening
by operation of law the inequalities in
the present distribution of wealth. and
il is only question of how fast this
country will move in that direction.
The opponents of the tax affect to be- {
Iieye that even if the constitutional
amendment is ratified ytwo-thirds OF =
he states congress will not apply tho Il
income tax as soon as it is authorized t
o do SO, but will keep the privilege
IN reserve for an emergency, like
oreign war. But such an idea may be
dismissed, because an income tax is
altogether too popular to remain long
lnutilized by congress. 1t is sure TO
be promptly applied if the amendment I
carries and the Democrats come into r
control Of the House and Senate.

CAPITALIST ARE

Willing to Lend Million On

New Yorker and Albanian Make In
SpGCtiOn Of Fine section About
Americas and We're Delighted
Herewith.

My company has two million dol
lars to lend on we'll improved farming
lands, and l do not know Of any sec
ton where we would rather make such
loans than that about Americus, the
most beautiful and fertile section
have seen anywhere and one that is

Stth was the fattering opinion Civ
en- Sumter county by a New York
capitalist here a few days ago.
He GENE here, hesitatingly, to in
spcct lands on which his company had
made a few good loans already, and
Went back home delighted with his
visit and to make a report favorable
rs regards other loans
This capitalist is the representative
Of one of New York's big corporations
and he came to Georgia to look after
loans here He was unfayorably i'm
pressed with the poor section OF
,Icrth Georgia, as viewed from the
window of his Pullman car, and so ex-
pressed himself on reaching Atlanta.
The lands have seen thus far are
rather poor" the New Yorker is
quoted as saying to the Atlanta rep
.resentative of his company.
DE have better lands" was the la
comic reply of the Albanian. "Now, you
come go with me to Sumter county,
down in South Georgia, and I VIII
show you the banner county of the
Empire State of the South"
They came to Americas, this eu-
thusiastic Albanian, who had been
here before, and the Doubling Thomas
from the Empire State of the North,
who will come here again
And nothing more need be said. The
two sped over about $50 miles Of
magnificent graded roads in a COM
Portable car, past beautiful and fertile
farms where work was already IN
progress, and where thrift and prog
ress was in abundant evidence upon
every side
This is the finest agricultural sec
ton have seen in the South, was the
verdict of the now enthusiastic New
Yorker. you did not tell me half
the story" he said to the Albanian
Our company has money to lend,
plenty of it, and we will be glad to
place it upon such lands as these"
And suiting action to words. nearly
$4,000 has been loaned already at 6
per cent, and upon terms the borrow
ers consider reasonable.

POUGHKEEPSIE, Oct. 19.-That the
women's colleges of America, with the
training which they give, are doing
much to eliminate the divorce evil may
be judged from the fact that the rec

She believes that every woman's COL
lege in the country is adding it's in
%fluence. and, through its teachings and
the training which the students uncon-
sciously receive, to the elevation Of the
w~omanhood of America. The result is
a wonderfully improved home condition
