in case it is stolen. They could probably pick it out from fifty other watches with their eyes shut. But how many men know that their watch is a compass and will tell north from south just as accurately as it will tell the time of day? Stan ley, the explorer, did not know it until he had groped his way thru . dark continent and met a Belgian sailor on the coast. Every watch is a compass. If-you point the hour hand to the sun the south is exactly half way between the hour and the figure XII on the dial. Suppose, for instance, it is 4 o'clock. Point the hand indicating 4 to the sun and the K on the watch is exactly south. If it is 8 o'clock point the hand indicating s to the sun and the figure X on the dial is due south. No man need get lost if he carries a. watch.

TERRY HAS JOINED
 NEVER AGAIN CLUB

fnOenlX, NOV. Zo. .-DrlVen out of Mexico by insurrectos, his clothes in tatters from two weeks of night travel through wild portions of the southern republic that are overrun with bands of guerrillas calling themselves patriots, Thomas Terry, of Williams, Arizona, arrived in Phoenix yesterday. He and com panion, James Johnson, of Bisbee, fled from a band of insurrectos across 200 miles of trackless waste between Nacozari and Cananea. They subsisted on jackrabbits that they shot with the guns that they snatched when they hurriedly left the mining camp where they were employed, and began their long journey to the Arizoua line.
 "This place looks like paradise to me" said Terry to his brother in law, Dr. Nelson D. Brayton. "I was able to sell my gnn for just enough to get here.''
 Terry and Johnson left Bisbee over month ago and went to Ma cozari They had agreed to go to work on a claim near Nacozari, owned by some Americans. After working eight days they decided that Mexico was no place for them. They heard a great deal about linsurrectos who had driven many American miners out of the district. There were almost no Americans left in that part of Mexico John son and Terry, however, decide d that they would not run till there was some evidence that their pres ence was not desired.
 One morning a Mexican warned them that band of 75 or 100 revo- lutions was headed for their camp. While they felt somewhat uneasy, they did not really believe the story until an hour or two later, when they saw the insurrectos. The con- pany was about mile away to the east.
 'sIt took us about three seconds to get out of there,' Terry said, in telling his story.
 "Didn't you take any food with you?"
 "Well, not much. We grabbed Ia gun apiece and hit the trail to- ward the line. We didn't stop to see what those Mexicans did to our camp. I guess they left the shaft there.
 "We travelled mostly at night, for we were afraid to travel in the day time. There were many guerilla bands in that country, and there is Inc telling what would have hap lpened to us had webeen seen. We avoided all settlements and saw Ionly few persons. Now and then we shot a jackrabbit Jackrabbits were about the only food we had. Say, just try steady diet of jack  rabbit for two weeks and see how you like it."
 Thomas Terry arrived in Will jams last Friday and is recuperat- ing from the many hardships he en- dured in getting out of Mexico, at the home of his parents, MT and Mrs. Joseph Terry. Tom" has Joined the "Never Again Club" and says Arizona is good enough fol | i

CAMERONS WILL MAKE
 HOME IN PHOENIX

Prepared to make their home in Phoenix, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Cam eron and their daughter Catherine are at the Hotel Adams, where they will remain until they can find a suitable residence. MT. Cameron stated that he would probably build home before spring.
 For several months the Camerons have been in Los Angeles. Mrs. Cam eron's mother, Mrs. Henry Spauld- ing, was very ill there for long time and died few weeks ago.
 "Phoenix is to be our future home and we will make our headquarters in Flagstaff during the summers, :" Cameron said. "I will open ar office here in a few days merely fol convenience in transacting my own business.
 All of Cameron's attention is now being devoted to mining. Last win ter he closed a deal for the transfer of two groups of claims in the depth of the Grand Canyon, which he has held for number of years. As soor as possible he will go to the canyon to insnect the work that has beer done in his absence.
 For the last five months con. centrating plant of special design has been working away on the grave Some of the concentrates have beer shipped to the east. It has now been definitely settled, beyond the shadow of doubt, that the plati. mum claims are immensely valua. ble No man can say how mucE wealth the gravel carries, for no one knows how deep the deposit is. 'We are convinced that we have made no mistake" said Cameron ssWe know now what kind of 2 plant is required, and it will be in stalled as soon as possible. At frs we had to go slow, but soon we vii be operating on a big scale and tht wealth of platinum taken from th' Grand Canyon will startle th' world. Phoenix Gazette

TO HIVE FRIENDS,

THE only way to have friend is
t., be one. Emerson.
There is reason for a suspicion, If
not more than a suspicion, that the
art of friendship is dying out among
US.
The friendship of the ancicnts was
very exacting. In modern times we
should look a long while for such
mutual regard as that of Damon and
Pythias.
Friendship in our crowded days
covers a wider area, but as in the
case of all extensive development it
has lost intensively.
Instead Of friendships we have Wis.,
iting lists. Not those whom we love,
but those whom we would prOpitiate
we invite to dinner. Those who
would prOpitiatc us invite us in turn
and permit US to cat their food and
air our views.
We live, alas. in the suburbs of
each others hearts.
The man without friends can ac-
cOmplish very little in this world.
Depending on his own strength alone
his mighticst endeavors are as moth
ing. At harvest time he gathers
nothing but leaves.
But the man with friends strong
friends. true friends and loyal friends,
who have confidence in his integ-
rity and ability to do things, has
great power. When he leads they
will follow him, and all working to-
gether unitedly bring victory. This
10 the reason why some men achieve
great success with moderate abilities.
while their more brilliant competi-
tors fall short
This is true in every business and
profession. 1t does not matter 81
much whether man has enemies o.
not as that he has true friends who
will stand by him and never desert
him.
To have loyal friends is worth ali
else. To have friends Who can he d.
pended on is 10 gain success in life
To have true friends YOU must h.

depends on the quality you give

HOW THEY VIEW SUNDAY
TRADE IN SANFORD

Discussing the matter oil coo.
drink stands remaining open on sun
day, the Sanford Herald says:
The Orlando Citizen remarks thai:
even if Winter Garden does want
cold drinks on Sunday, Orlando does
not and will not have them. believe
this matter should be left to the va
rious sections just as the> matter of
GoOd roads. If Orlando does not
want a cold drink or a newspaper on
Sunday let them go without. San
ford does want them and Sanford
may have them and there are num-
bers of Orlando people who come
here on Sunday TO get them. There
i, no harm in the proprietor of a
news stand staying at his place Of
business a few hours on Sunday if he
so chooses. His clerks can have the
day off, but the proprietor should be
allowed to open up for the mail, just
as the pOstoilice does and let the man
who wants TO read on Sunday get
his paper or a cigar or Il cold drink.
|: is rather difficult in this age to at
tempt to force the old Blue Laws on
the people. ] do not favor the store
staying open all day on Sunday and
having crowd congregate to dis
cUss baseball, election and kindred
subjects, but do believe it is all
right for the stationery store and the
cold drink store to remain open a
short period in the morning and aft
ernOOn. There are other things more
Esrmful on Sundays than buying
newspapers, cigars and cold drinks.
At any rate Orlando can close with
out interfering with Sanford. We
often feel sorry for our sister city,
but II the people prefer living there
well, what are you going to do
about it?
"They cant have brick roads, or
a ball team, or a steamboat, or get a
cold drink or read newspaper on
Sunday. All that is left to the few
full blooded people of Orlando is to
take a car and come to Sanford,
where there are real people walk
ing on the streets, drinking real ice
water and reading real newspapers
and doing other real American stunts
without fear of being arrested and
taken to church against their will as
they are forced to do in Orlando The
next thing we hear about Orlando
will be that the people down there
are being forced to read Orlando pa
pers."

THE CONSTITUTIONAL

OF the three constitutional amend.
ments to be voted on at the general
assembly, two are of statewide i'm
portance, while one affects Duval
county only. So far as We can judge
from our present lights. all the
amendments should carry.
OF great Importance to the people
Is the amendment looking to the
adoption in this State of the initia-
tive and referendum. This Is a step
in the direction of the rule of the
people, the ideal form of government.
We believe this principle should be
voted in as a part of the States or
ganic law.
OF equal Importance, perhaps, is
the amendment authorizing the is
suancc of bonds by special tax school
districts. The absence of any pro-
vision for the legal issuance of such
bonds is hampcring the progress OF
our school interests, and it is very
important that such provision should
be voted.
The amendment relating to an adj
ditional Circuit judge for Duval
county is not of special interest to
the State as a whole, but as the pco-
pie Of Duval apparently want the
measure. the voters should help them
pass it.
II is n fact worthy of remark that
no matter how unobjcctionablc an
amendment may be. or even if il be
entirely mcritorons. it is difficult for
ii to receive n sufficient number OF
votes to insure its passage The aver
age voter hcsitatcs to assist in
making any change in the constiti-
tian. He gems 10 have an Unborn

THE REAL COST OF LIVING.

While there is universal cry over
the country of the high cost Of living
and while We are seeking some easy
way out of the difficulty, very few
ray attention to the trifling amounts
spent in silly ways II seems to be
the little things that count.
A series of articles in the Satur-
day Evening Post tells in most gra-
phic details how the present genera
ton fritters away the income which
a past generation would have con-
sidcrcd an affucncc, and from which
our grandfathers would have saved
and invested a competence.
A nickel is but a triilc and dime
hardly worth noticing. But it is
the constant stream of nickels which
yields the great dividend of the trac-
ton companies. 1t is the multiple
| ity of nickcls dropping into the boot
blacks till which allows him to get
a banking account and invest in the
only real. stable and honest propo-
sition-rcal estate.
| The money continually wasted in
trillcs would make many payments
on properties bound to enhance in
value. 1t is so easy TO be careless
about the nickel and the dime: 81
