Somebody has started a movement now to get up a worlds fair worth while. It is to be known as the Worlds Per manent Exposition and is to be located in Washington, D. c. It is planned to keep on exhibition at all times the pro- ducts of every state and every nation that will cooperate. A visitor can then go to Washington. D. c. any old time and see all there is to be seen in the whole world. By request of the pro- motors of the project, Governor Hunt yesterday named an advisory commis- sion to represent Arizona in this un dertaking. The members are Vernon l.. Clark of Phoenix, Morris Goldwater of Prescott. w. w. Pace of Stafford and Harry Welch, secretary of the develop ment board of Arizona. So far as the governor knows. these appointments run forever, or until some succeeding governor displaces his appointees. Al so, so far as he knows, these gentle men may patriotically go to Washing ton as often as they please providing they have the money to pay their own expenses. Salaries. or any other re- wards will be received in heaven, pro- viding of course the gentlemen go there too for they must be on the ground to take advantage of heavenly

habits that were amusing In the two

sad fact that punishment usually be-

more harm than good. Az the baby

The New England people did not
