GETTING ON AND

In the January American Magazine
Abe Martin, the celebrated Indiana
| funny man. writes a piece about New
Year's resolutions. Following is an
extract:

undone, all the energy and the money
he's wasted and all the things he's

of tar soap. Then he quietly resolves
to bid goodbye to the social cup on

CHRISTMAS STORY

Heaps of newly fallen snow lay
upon the ground and as the moon
beams rays shone down it glistened
and made fields of diamonds.
The threaded wires were pure sill
yer tinsel. All the huge world was
glistening Christmas tree. The air
was very quiet for all the world was
listening for the clatter OF hoofs and
sharp lashing bells, and gay notes of
the little fire clad driver. One huge
star winked down and kept faithful
watch. All at once the air seemed
stirred, did hear him or is 1t my
fancy? So nearer and nearer on the
crisp air 1t came. as the slender legs
OF the reindeer sped like lightning.
There tucked amid thousands of gifts
sat the white haired driver. With his
whip curling far back over his Shout

little fellow. A word of cheer he gave
to the RENDERS and away they tug

"Ah!" he exclaimed. 81 remember

gave a gay whistle. And then he hush.

Young SPOTS 10 In Fine Form

Veteran trap shooters looked on IN
wonder as Ralph X. Spots. fourteen
year old son of Ralph l.. Spots, club
champion, scored 1875 clay pigeons out
Of a total of $50 sprung for him and
won FIVE of the eight events in the
Larchmont, N. Y. Yacht club shoot
Saturday. 1t was performance the
average experienced expert could well
be proud of. Beginning with the De-
cember Cup shoot young Ralph re-
turned full scores in five straight
events, and although forced into
shoot-offs won them all with several
points to spare. The boy then topped
all his efforts by scoring % straight
in the Accumulation Cup event for
the only perfect score Of the day.
The little fellow is scarcely as tall
as the gun he carries. but he is a
stockily built chap who has accompan.
led his father on frequent wild duck
shooting trips, each with his own pet
gun and both shooting Remington
UMC shells as at the traps. This is
young Spots second season at the
traps. He has been improving in ev-
cry shoot, but nobody was prepared
for the remarkably fine showing made
Saturday.
Ralph l.. SPOTS, father of the
young man whose future as a trap
shooter seems SO bright and who was
out shot by his son for the first time
Saturday, was member Of the vic
torious American Trap Shooting Team
at the Olympic Games. He firmly be-
lieves that every boy should learn the
use of arms and ammunition as part
OF his life equipment.
81 do not believe that closer obser-
/; vance Of the laws Of pure. clean sport
can be found anywhere than among
trap shooters. M. Spots ST.. said in
answer to the reporters inquiry.
At the traps. continued Mr.. Spots
Every man stands on his own merits
and Is SO judged. Crookedness is Sc
verely condemned and the square deal
is exalted. This is good atmosphere
fol boy to get into just as he is
forming ideals. II he learns only the
principles Of fairness and how to take
beating and give one with equal
grace 1t would seem to me to be well
worth while.
Then, too, boy should be taught
to handle arms and ammunition intel
ligently, not only that he may not get
on the didn't know 1t was loaded
list but that he may acquire the
quickness and steadiness of hand and
eye, the poise and control and the
many other benefits that come to the
trained shooter.

EXCURSION RATE IS
 GRANTED TO BISBEE
 FROM CAPITAL CITY
Party Rate Will Be Given Those
 Who Desire to Visit the City at Close of Mining Congress in
 Phoenix Early in December.

A letter received yesterday bv Sec. retary of the Commercial Club from Garnett King, general passenger agent of the E. P. & s. w.. says that the Arizona and Eastern has refused to make a flat rate of one and one-third for the proposed excursion to be run from Phoenix to Bisbee at the close .ot the session Of the American Min. ing Congress in December.
 The road. however. will sell party tickets for this affair and Mir. King says that in parties of 15 the pro rata .oi the total fare will give each one in the party a rate of one and a third And thus the excursionists will ge; the special rate asked for even though it is not granted on single tickets. for there is little doubt but that there will be 90 or 40 delegates who will want to make the trip to the biggest copper producing center in the south. west. The Commercial Club will now begin to make arrangements for the formation of parties
 Ihe roundtrip rate to Phoenix for the meeting of the congress is one and third fare from any part of the country The El Paso & Southwest ern was willing to grant the fare asked for the excursion from Phoenix here but could not do it alone. All the railroads of the state have a rate oi one fare for the round trip to Phoenix this week on account of the state fair but naturally the fair draws a great many more persons to Phoenix than a technical meeting such as a mining congress.

ARIZONA AS IT IS
 ID BE SHOWN EAST
 IN MOTION PICTURES
Mines of This District, Great Co.,
 ChiSe Farm Lands, and Other Features of State Will Be
 Filmed For Man in Far East.

See Arizona first and see it in the movies. It is getting to be today that if you want to believe anything you must first see it in the moving pictures. Arizona is to be filmed. Not in the wild and woolly way; not to show the cowboy and the cactus. but tO show the farmer with irrigated acres. The great mines putting out great smelters, wide forests, cattle a million pounds of copper a day. scenes, ranges and round-ups views of the orange and olive groves: places that are delightful as a spot in para disc. The Hot Springs the resorts; the restful places. the great Roosevelt dam, wonderful drives and a contiu- uous chain of wonderful scenes and beauty spots.
 To make film of this kind re- Quires care and attention and a great deal of work Arrangements have been made to have moving pictures taken of the big event in November After the fair, Robert A. Turnbull will make a trip over the state, taking photographs of the most attractive features This is not a money making proposition. The cost of taking the film will be small and practically the only charge. No section can afford to be missed from this series Big results will come from this advertising of the different possibilities of the state. Turnbull will take a copy O fthe film to the east and will show the pictures over a big moving picture circuit Every week thousands will see the Arizona film, get a better knowledge of the state than they can obtain in any other way.
 The average customer is under a mistaken idea as to what Arizona real ly is There is no better way of giving him true conception og the resources in this great state, than by means of moving pictures correctly taken. The filming of Arizona is commended to the careful consideration of all com munitias Show the customer that Arl- aona is not altogether wild and woony. but is worth while. The film will be an open invitation to visit the state that is so rich in natural resources
 the state that is destined to become a leader in the march of progress

COPPER QUEEN BAND
 PLEASES IN TUCSON
En Route To State Fair It Gives Enjoyable Concert for
 Tucson Citizens.

The following account from Mon days Arizona Star of the concert ren- dered in Tucson Sunday afternoon by the Copper Queen band shows that the organization makes just as favor. able an impression in other localities as in Bisbee:
 "A delightful program of eight num- bers was played yesterday afternoon by the Copper Queen band under the leadership of Director Ebert Veale of Bisbee, which stopped in Tucson yes terday on its way to the Arizona State Fair at Phoenix. A fair crowd was present
 "A medley of patriotic airs and an other medley of old-time hymns were among the most pleasing numbers rendered. The ensemble work Of the band was superb, and the program rendered was a decided treat to those who had the good fortune to know of the event.
 "The band management notified Secretary Meyers of the chamber of commerce that they would be present but by some mischance the letter was never received, SO Secretary Meyers was unable to give notice of the com ing of the band
 There were twenty pieces in the band and every member wan an art ist."

COPPER QUEEN BAND
 ADvERTISES BISBEE
 IN THOROUGH MANNER
Concerts And SerenadeS From This City to Phoenix and Spe-
 Cial Program at Fair Make Band Valuable Asset for Week

Not only does the Copper Queen band realize the value of advertising As an organization the band adver- tises. At Phoenix. where last year they were one of the prime factors in the number of entertainments, the band has this year been showing the same activity, and the same willing ness to furnish music where ever and when ever it is needed, and on sev- eral occasions they have just furn. ished it anyhow
 On these latter occasions they have made their biggest hits. On one day of the week they serenaded several of the capital city institutions. At the offices of the two largest papers in the state the Phoenix Republican and the Arizona Gazette, the Copper Queen band appeared during Tuesday morning when they were free from other duties and gave their concerts for the benefit of the paper and the employees Both of the papers ex- pressed their gratitude and appreoia- ton and gave the band a good little boost
 Prior to reaching Phoenix the band serenaded several places in Tucson. Leaving the city Of the old Pueblo, the organization rendered selections on the train en route to Phoenix and at several of the smaller cities where stops were made.
 In all the best advertisement which the city could possibly have at the Arizona State fair has been found in the Copper Queen band, and even the members Of the band realizing tho fact have taken the opportunity of footing their own horns and the horns of the Bisbeeltes.

SPEAEERSHIP HAS
 ALREADY BECOME A
 STATE WIDE ISSUE
Three Members of Lower House Are In Field; CoChise, Mari copa and GiIa Counties Would Have Man on Chair; WiII Meet

Three legislators have already an nounced themselves as candidates for the speakership at the second ses sion. At a meeting of the Maricopa delegation Loren Felix Vaughn was endorsed by the Maricopa delega ton, and will have the undivided support of the members from the second largest county in the state Cochise will have a man in the field. Billy Graham who served in the first legislature is reported to be out for the position and claims the support of five of the seven members from his county. W. E. Brooks of Gfla county member of the first legisla. ture and chairman of the committee of appropriations seek the honor and is in Phoenix preparing to make the fight. The house, according to un. official returns. will be entirely Dem ocratic. One woman will sit in the second lower branch, Mrs. Rachael Berry of Apache. The three -cornered speakership fight promises to be the most interesting
 Brooks and Graham have legisla- tive experience and both are politi- clans. Vaughn is a practicing attor- ney. led the ticket in Maricopa coun- ty both in the primary and at the election and is we'll known over the state, being an old newspaper man Brooks made many friends by the manner in which he handled the funds of the state in his position as chairman of appropriation. Brooks Graham and J. W. Buchanan of Pima county are the only three of the old guard who will return for the sec ond session.
 Frank Duffy chairman of the state Democratic central committee had suggeste da harmony banquet at Phoenix a few days before the ses- sion opens. at which the Democrats would be invited to get together and hold a love feast. His suggestion seems to meet with the approval of a majority of the Democrats who have discussed the matter and def mite arrangements will be made within a few days. say the men who know.
