SOME ENGINEMAN HIM
{ Contributed by the localPoet at Camp
IF. l.. NJ

Old lack StulI,
He beats them all,
At heaving coal and wood.
He fires the Shay,
Coal wood or hay,
And certainly makes good.
This tallow pot
He keeps hot,
Up any kind of hill.
He shakes the CRATES
Some Jumps he brakes,
Then rolls himself a pill.
He likes the way
Vic runs the Shay,
And likes the engines means
Some coming day,
This boy he NAV
Become a Casey Jones.
And like a not,
This 'tallow pot"
Shall win himself great fame.
When he gets to guide
From the right hand side,
Some great, big Mallets fame
He will be known,
SO will this poem,
In every land and cline
For the deeds he did,
This fire boy kid,
On Dolap's logging line.
His name is 'Huti,
That's not enough
Why not say "Huffie. "
He is some Kid"
That's what she said,
His future Busy Bee.

The Sun" which has done so
much to illuminate the many de.
sirable features OF Coconino
county, is shining even more
brightly than usual, although it
has changed its quarters. Even
the Typographical Union would
hesitate to order the Sun" to
stand still, although in the throes
OF moving, and it is hardly neces-
sarv to state that the Sun" kept
right on in its orbit. lavapai

Every merchant who spends his
money in Flagstaff and is con-
sistent patron of home industry
should receive the loval support
of the people OF the town. A mail
order business either into town or
out OF town is poor proposition
and one that is not in the best
interest OF all concerned.

THE WAR" TAX

The new stamp act is now in
full force. Deeds, mortgages,
certificates and many other kinds
of instruments and business trans
actions are subjected to special
tax.
In presenting this measure in
Congress the Democrats had the
cool eHrontery to designate it as
the "War Revenue Bill'-giving
it that sanguinary title at time
when, as old lack TAYLOR ex-
pressed it, we are at peace with
all the world and the rest OF man
kind"
The title of the bill is false and
misleading. 1t ought to have been
presented in form as follows:
"A bill for taxing the people to
reimburse the treasury on account
OF the expenditure by the Wilson
administration of Io7 million dol
lars more than ever expended be-
fore in like period in time OF peace
and also, for the purpose OF max
ing up the. deficiency in the public
revenues caused by the complete
failure of the Underwood tariff
bill to raise sufficient money to
run the government or to enable
American industries to maintain
their usual activity"
If the bill had borne this title
it would have expressed the abso'
Lutte truth. Clifton Mining Jour

An exchange says: We are
opposed to mail order concerns
because they never contribute any
thing to iurtherlng the interests of
our town" Very true, but as a
rule the man who never spends
money advertising his goods with
the home paper never contributes
any vast amount to furthering the
interests OF the own.--Douglas

Laws Prove Detrimental

There is no doubt but the en-
actment of those laws known as
the eighty per cent, anu-blacklist,
mothers pension, industrial pur
suits and one or two others, which
were born through the initiative
have given Arizona a setback
which will take wears 10 overcome.
The initiative was thought to he
a good thing, but from the way it
was used it proved more deadly
to those who thought to profit by
it than it they had struck float
ing mine head on. The wage
Garner who lives in Arizona is
bound to suffer because who on
earth is gong to hire a man or
woman insight and unseen or
without the privilege OF asking Tor
references. Such law must
have emanated from a man who
felt that the world was made for
his special benefit or else it was
drafted bv those who expect 10
receive first class salaries without
the least qualification.
II the initiative is allowed to re-
main a part OF our constitution the
next law to be enacted will force
all employers to paw salaries to a
certain lot or number Of employees,
no matter it only half that number
be needed. All the applicant will
need is a card saving he is mem
Der of the order who made the law
the same as the iull-train crew law.
During the first state legislature
a law was enacted telling the rail-
roads how many men should e
employed on trains. Now sup
pose at the next general election,
through the initiative, the same
forces enact law which will re-
uuire the railroads to keep sort
of lookout on the cowCatcher and
a brakeman Tor every six box cars
in the train, claiming such law
was being enacted for the safety oil
life and limb. Such a law would
be lust as sensible or as Just as the
eighty per cent, black list or moth
ers' pension law.
1t looks now as if the initiative
is being used only for the purpose
of destroying the development OF
Arizona. Therefore it behooves
all voters in the state to acquaint
themselves with the laws referred
to and then prepare to repeal the
agency through which they were
made possible by the initiative.

not even blade of grass would grow.
Today upon these very deserts are
wonderful orchards and tremendous

was water. In time there came farm

SO they dug bitches and led the water

earth with their brains as well as their

Advertising has made thousands of
men rich. because they recognized the
possibilities of utilizing the newspa-
pers to bring streams of buyers into
neighborhoods that could be made
busy locations by irrigation-hy draw
Ing people from other sections.
The successful retailer is the man
who keeps the stream OF purchasers
coming his way. It isn't the spot ltseIf
that makes the store pay-it's the
man who makes the spot pay. Centern
OF trade are not selected by the public
they are created by the force which

GOODYEAR TIRES AT
ANTE-5ELLuM PRICES

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co
announce mo war prices on Goodyear
Tires" Mr.. F. 4. Sieberling, president
of the Company, thus explains their
unique position.
I'VE advanced Goodyear prices, az
others did theirs, when the rubber
panic came. Almost in a day crude
rubber rose In New York from So cents
per pound to much over a dollar.
THE New York supply was too
small to consider. We cabled our
London people to buy up the pick OF
the rubber there. BY acting quickly
and paying cash they obtained 1,500.-
900 pounds OF the finest rubber.
That big supply of rubber is now
nearly all ON the way to the Goodyear
factory in Akron. It constitutes the
best of the London supply.
I'VE are using the same grade OF
rubber and the same amount of 1t as
we always have used in these tires
I'VE are running our factory with
three shifts Of men, twenty-four hours
day. So long as we remain in this
fortunate position on rubber, we shall
supply tire users at before-war prices
to the limit of our capacity"

If IT Fits You, Wear This Cap.

Advertising isn't a crucible with
which lazy, bigoted and incapable mer-
chants can turn incompetency into
success-but one into which brains
and tenacity and courage can be
poured and changed into dollars. 1t is
only a short cut across the fields-not
q moving platform. You can't get
there" without going some"
It's game in which the worker
not the shlrker-gets rich.
BY its measurement every man
stands for what he ls and for what he
does, not for what he was and what he
did.
Every day in the advertising world
is another day and has to be taken
care of with the same energy as its
yesterday.
The gutter can't survive where the
pluseer has the ghost of chance.
Advertising doesn't take the place
of business talent or business man
agement- 1t simply tells what bust.
ness lie and how 1t is managed. The
snob whose father created and who
Is content to live on what was handed
to him. can't stand up against the
man who knows he must build for
himself.
What makes you think that you are
entitled to prosper as well as a com
petitor who works twice as hard for
his prosperity?
Why should as many people deal 1T
your store as patronize a shop that
makes an endeavor to get their trade
and shows them that 1t is worth while
to come to its doors?
Why should a newspaper send as
many customers to you in half the
time it took to NIL an establishment
which advertised twice as long and
paid t--lee a. much for its publicity
