BUSBY'S MINSTREL.S

Minstrelsy, au la circus style, de-
lighted a large audience of Ogden
people last evening, the event being
the visit of j. M. Busby's big min
strel show under canvas. The big
top" was pitched on the lot just
east of the fire department building
and the show was given a most lib
eral patronage, which is merited in
every sense of the word.
Mr.. Busby has assembled a big
company of colored people who are
bubbling over with minstrel songs
and music. The show carries its
own band and orchestra, in addition
to large number of good singers
and good dancers. The big minstrel
forepart is. of course, the features,
but the olio is program of special
ties which are most entertaining.
While many no doubt cannot con.
ceive of staged production under
canvas, they have but to witness a
performance such as that given by
the Busby Company to appreciate
not only the possibility, but the high
grade success which has been at
tanned by this gentleman in his
tented minstrel show.-Ogden Ex-
aminer.
Will show in Stafford, Friday, Sep
tember 18th.

In GOOD SHAPE

We have not had to mobilize
armies, but we did have to mobilize
our finances and put them on a war
footing, and we have a right to feel
some complacency and satisfaction
at what we have done. Europe was
quick in rushing into war, but we
nave been just as quick in preparing
ourselves for business contingencies.
Our financial experts feel that our
monetary Notifications will hold
against AL assaults, and that as the
result of the recent legislation and
of banking precautions the country
is safe from either stringency or
panic, and ready to meet any busi-
ness demands that may arise. -

NO JOBS FOR DRINKERS

The question of enforcing temper
ance by statute has long been a sub
ject of heated controversy. The
prohibitionists are called cranks and
fanatics, while names are applied to
those who hold that the law should
regulate but not prohibit the sale of
intoxicants. But there is a temper
ance force for influence that is con.
fined to no section, rural or urban.
1t is the law of business, of common
sense and safety.
In the banks, stores, counting
houses. newspapers, on the railroads
everywhere and in every business
where cool judgment, clear heads,
steady hands and orderly habits are
necessary-the drunkard is shut out
and the drinking man is less and less
in favor.
1t is not a matter of sentiment.
1t is a matter of business and good
sense. 1t is a rule that is growing
stricter and more general every day.
There is lesson in this fact which
the young man will do to heed.
There is neither honor nor profit in
the drink habit, and the pleasure it
may be supposed to afford is both
false and fieeting.
The temperance force which the
exacting law of modern business
exerts cannot be evaded or ignored
Young men who do not appreciate
this fact and who seek employment,
or who hope to succeed in the bust
ness or professional world, will some
day learn it to their cost. 1t is the
law ineXorable.

SEPTEMBER MORN

Tripped-s -sIipped-rip strip

These four words tell the sensa-
tional story of how, in one false
move on Tenth street, Monday after
noon, shortly, after Warren Smith,
Dave CIaridge, Nit Simms and sew
eral other candidates had left for
Pima, comely young woman at one
and the same time almost outdid
September Morn and fully convinced
several dozen others of the fair sex
that to venture out in one of the
new tight, petticoatless skirts is eX-
ceedingly risky.
She came across Tenth street with
short mincing steps, until she reached
the center. Then she tripped. With
convulsive movement she threw
out her foot-and slipped.
She wore a black silk skirt, slit
up the front. Her foot caught it;
there was a rip, and as the cloth
split in twain to the waistine, the
skirt fell in a heap at her feet.
There she stood. From the waist
up she was modesty personified. But
from the waist down it was diff
ferent. The skirt was entangled in
her feet. She had nothing to do
but grab at the air and scream. She
did both.
Cries of Quick! a coat. Bring
me coat" caused two brave citizens
to strip off their coats and fling
them to the modern September
Morn. She wrapped them about
her and assumed the well-knOwn at
titude in the painting. Then an
other hero sped across the sire, to
a clothing store and came back with
a long overcoat, with which be COW
cred her from head to heel. She
up the mu'iIated skirt,
tucked it under her arm, started to
cry and fed.
No one was injured in the riot.

OF the government there and is per-
forming official duties as provisional
president; but that Villa and other
leaders are unfavorable to his as
pirations to be permanent president
and disposition upon their part to
do lot of debating to him, makes
absolute peace appear to be in the
dim distance. Villa, by far the
greatest general in the army of the
constitutionalists, and others of
Mexico's ablest men who made it
possible for Carranza to achieve the
success he seems to have gained, are
not willing to submit to the rulings
he manifestly desires to lay down as
the conditions of government he
proposes to maintain.
That revolution may break out in
that country again is not by any
means an impossibility. No out
break indicating actual revolution
against Carranza has yet occurred;
but that Villa is the main cause of
peace so far is thoroughly believed
by intelligent people on both sides
of the line.
Maytorena has been established
by Villa and Obregon as governor
of Sonora, and so far as that part
of Mexico is concerned, peace now
reigns.

DOES ADVERTISING PAY?

The other day local merchant
elevated his chin, squared his shoul'
ders, assumed a bellgerent attitude,
and defantly told US that adver,
tising doesn't pay?"
He is still alive, but let US consid,
er minute:
A London baronet, who manufac-
lures pills. has sold a part of his real
estate for the tidy sum of $50, ,000,-
600. He made it out of the profits
of his business, and he built that
business up by advertising, often
spending as high as half million
dollars year in printers ink.
John Wanamaker, the best known
and most successful merchant in
this country, made his millions by
advertising and said so.
The great department stores of
the country are kept alive by adver-
tising, and are coming money by
more advertising.
You never hear of large mer-
camille house in this country that
does not advertise and advertise
heavily.
If a politician wants to make him
self known to the dear people, he
uses the most effective means
newspaper publicity. That is adver-
tising.
If a new son arrives at your house
you are keen to have it put in the
paper" where your friends will see
it, thereby advertising the fact that
you are walking on eggs.
If the editor called you thief in
a two-line item and stuck it away in
the most obscure corner of the paper,
would you pass it by in the belief
that it would never be noticed?"
NEVER! You would consider
yourself DETAINED before the entire
community. and would paw up the
earth in your bellowings. You
would be only too quick to concede
that every line in the paper is read.
Yes, advertising certainly pays.
There is no ad so small. or insig-
nifcant, but what some one is wait
ing for 1t.
There are plenty of people who
want what you have to sell, but
they are weary looking through
hay stack for a needle. They pre-
fer to find it in an advertisement.
And they will look in the local
paper for the ad.
They will find someone's-but will
it be yours?

IN FINE SPIRIT

The Presidents offer of mediation

honesty may be built among the
charred remains of the house of
decency wrecked by the flrebrands

ARIZONA COTTON

There were 2,299 bales of cotton
ginned in Arizona from the crop of
1918, according to bulletin just
issued by the census bureau of the
Departmental Commerce. Itis stated
that the area to be grown in 1914
shows large increase, the amount
being variously estimated from l2,-
900 to Is, 900 acres.
The suitability of the land for
growing other and possibly more
remunerative crops, however, will
tend to restrict cotton cultivation in
this State. the report continues.
One of the most interesting de
velopments from the boil weavl sit
uation was the discovery of a west
ern race of this special breeding on
a wild cotton in the mountain can
yOns of southeastern Arizona, which
is capable of breeding in cultivated
cotton. 1t occurs on its native food
plant within short distance of some
of the new and growing irrigated
cotton sections. and is, therefore, a
menacy to western cotton. This
discovery was followed by expert
ments which have proven the ability
of the boil weevil to sustain life and
breed in the buds of one or two
other plants nearly related to cotton.
This adaptability of the insect may
become a complicating factor in
the future control of the species.

ARIZONA MUST BE READY

There can be no doubt but that
the war in Europe will result in
deeper poverty and greater hard
ships than before for the peasants of
the Old World. DR.. A. E. Vinson,
of the University of Arizona Agri-
cultural Experiment Station, is au-
thority for the statement that many
substantial families in Ohio emf
grated from Germany because of
their recollection of the terrors of
the Napoleonic wars.
The psychological effect of the
present war will be even more potent
in turning other boards of industri-
Gus tillers of the soil to seek homes
in the New World.
With the opening of the Panama
Canal much of this influx of popu-
lation will seek the West Coast.
Land values in California will ad-
vance and Californians, together
with new settlers, will seek cheaper
farms inland,
If Arizona is to profit by this
readjustment, every agricultural
development must be quickened, so
that farms and homes will be ready
for the new comers.

AUBURN, ALA, March 14.-When
the weather permits, the Auburn
baseball squad gets in some hard
work, but the weather is not at all
accommodating this spring.
The intield is much strengthened
by the fact that Moulton has decided
TO return 10 Auburn instead of going

as ever at short and is hitting better.
Hairston is showing up well behind
the bat as is Louisell at first. Ar
mold just now is at third, and Nc
Neill at second, but whether this ar
rangement is permanent or not it S
hard to say. The throw across Is
oothering Arnold some, and McNeilrg

on whether he will be called upon TO
assist behind the bat As he and
may interchange between right field
and behind the plate. in which case
Arnold will probably be moved to sec
ond and Wynne will be brought in 10
third. Wynne is a good infield play

that Is necessary for the hot corner

Walsh Talked Self
Out Of Major League

Umpire Silk O'Loughlin says Dee
Walsh, the Chattanooga shortstop,
talked himself out of the American
League. According to O'Loughliu,
Walsh's speciality was to strut up to
the plate and dare the pitcher 10
put il over.
Can you imagine a snip of a kid
like Walsh, who isn't much bigger
than a peanut, daring a big fellow
like Walter Johnson to stick il over
the PAM" said O'Loughlin. The av-
erage American League pitcher would
make two of Dee Walsh. The kid got
himself in bad trying to bluff EN- He
thought it the proper way, but II
worked out the other way The
pitcher tabled him as a fresh kid,
and tipped each other off. Every now
and then some big twirier would shoot
the pill at Dee's head and scare him
stiff. They had him ducking wild
pitches until he couldn't hit the pipe
But Dee is a game 'un and will come
back. He needs experience"

N NE Of the most entertaining
Y stories ever told of the rise Of

Ouimet, the open champion, in the
March issue Of the st. Nicholas Mag

become a golfer without his influence,

is what he says of these early days;

and more convinced that the manner
in which I first took up the game was

all the distance possible for one OF my
