TURKEY TREAT FOR
 DIAMOND TIRE USERS
Average IS Per Cent Price Cut Pays for Thanksgiving Dinner and Leaves
 Something for Santa.

Local motorists, just when they were digging around in their jeans for the price of the Thanksgiving spread and wondering how they were going to do their Christmas shopping early with out encroaching on the maintenance fund" for next years automobile pleas ures, woke up to a happy solution of the problem when the early part of this week the announcement came forth that Diamond Tires would be 15 per cent loWer@in cost, on the average, ef- feCtive November 24th.
 One motor enthusiast, though he had never carried off any blue ribbons in the higher 'math" courses at college, quickly calculated that his next years tire bills would be cut to such an ex- tent that the Thanksgiving dinner could be enjoyed "on' the Diamond makers, and that Santa would be left a juicy slice besides for Yuletide remem- brances So he commissioned the wife to be sure to order a big fat bird and all the good things down to pulm pudding and charge it to automobile
 expense instead of household operation. And he tells us it was some" feed.
 When our editorial wit prompted us
 to ask if it were not a tiresOme feast, he responded every minute was aS bright and sparkling as Diamonds. We got off at the next corner after that Dealers Report Increased Sales.

ANOTHER BOOST
 FOR THE VALLEY
Work of Mrs. Cowgirl in Los Angeles is Brought to Notice of General Agent w. $. Goldsworthy of the Santa Ee

If Phoenix had more boosters outside the city in a class with Mrs. R. L. Cow gill. in charge of the Los Angeles bu- reau of the Phoenix board of trade, the beneficial effect would be noted in stantly Paid for her services, of course. but rendering ten times over that which was originally required of her, Mrs. Cowgirl is perpetually bring ing Phoenix and the Salt River valley into just that kind of prominence that means new citizens and new settlers.
 The other day Ross c. Cline, general agent of the Wabash railroad, with headuuarters in Los Angeles, and frequent visitor to Phoenix, dropped in to the Los Angeles chamber of com merce building just in time to hear Mrs. Cowgirl giving one of her popular il- Iustrated lectures on the Salt River valley. And after it was all over Cline dictated a letter to General Agent w.. $. Goldsworthy of the Santa F'e, in this city, expressing himself on what he heard and saw. The letter follows:
 Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 26, 1913. Mr. w. $. Goldsworthy,
 Get. Agt Santa Fe R. R.
 Phoenix, Ariz.
 Dear Sir
 While up at the chamber of com merce this afternoon, I drifted into the lecture room and heard a splendid talk accompanied by stereoptican views of the Salt River valley and the beautiful city of Phoenix. It seems as though 1 was there myself as everything looked so natural, and the lady lecturer seemed to nave consumed a great deal of Has sayampa water The lecture was very well attended and your people should be proud of the exhibition and the man. ner in which it was put on the board. i The lecture reminded me of oranges and I would be very much obliged if ! you will drop me a line as to the situ- atiOn.
 With kindest regards to yourself and i MT. Betts, I remain,
 Yours truly,
 ROSS c. CLINE, ! General Agent, The Wabash Railroad
 Cline is but one of hundreds that ! each year enjoy these lectures and de- rive benefit therefrom. It is quite an ordinary occurrence nowadays to have some person drop into the local board of trade building and announce that they had never thought of coming tc Phoenix until they had heard Mrs Cowgirl talk and had seen her pictures It is one of the boost features of the local board of trade and in some re- spects vies with the work it is possible to accomplish from the local end.

The annual election of national of ficers is receiving some attention from the delegates already on the field. While Miss Jane Addams of Chicago. who IS now first vice president of the association, has been approached to ac- cept the presidency, she has so far steadfastly refused, on the ground that her numerous other activities would
 not permit her to devote as much time to the presidency as the office re- ] quires. pr. Anna Howard Shaw, who ! has for many years held the presidency 1 has announced that she will gladly re- tire from the race in Miss Addams' favor. But the prospect is that pr.
 Shaw will be retained in office by the 1 unanimous will of the convention.

It is the intention of the company to purchase mashing, milling and mixing machines and to install them in the premises now occupied by the company. It is expected that ev- erything will be in readiness for the spring sales, and that enough of the merchandise will have been made up to be ready for rush. Humphries says he is tired of seeing carload after carload of chicken feed shipped into the city when it can be made here just as well as at any other place.

Girls and Convention.

The truth is that the free mind has
made inevitable the free ankle. Our
girls are no longer content to be tied
up like bales of cotton. They have
learned the use of their legs on the
bicycle, on horseback and in the
hockey field. The masculine leg is
not yelled mystery. Why should
the feminine leg be regarded as a
dreadful secret dedicated to the al
lurements of the ballet? After all, our
girls may not be quite so bold and
quite so bad as we, In our flaming in
nocence, imagine. Perhaps they are
right in assaulting the stupid tyranny
of sex. Perhaps they are wise in
forcing us to bear the SCATTERING rev.
citation that the end justlfies the
means Perhaps they are doing
great and noble deed in delivering US
from the delusion that the less we see
of them the better There is no doubt
that they are rapidly emerging from
the chrysalis of convention. They are
asserting their right to be human be-
ings and not bundles of obedient dU-
plicity. They are shedding their self
consciousness as we'll as their clothes
The sooner we shed our self-conscious-
ness the better-James Douglas in

Quiet Poet.

His readers of many years have

III citizen who woke one morning
and found himself a knight. He at
once left England and never returned.
Without frivolity, however, one may
be glad that, for once, a public honor
has come to a man who deserves it..
Other poets, alive today. have spoken
louder-we may even say sworn loud
er than Mr.. Bridges. Others have
founded more movements" talked
more, been more vigorous as propa-
gandists. No one has been, without
emphasis, truer poet than he.

add nothing to the honor in which
many Englishmen hold Mr. Bridges,
it is pleasant to think that he, by &C
