SIGNS TO Be POSTED
On ALL ROADS
Of STATE

PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. 30.-Word
trade from the representatives of the
Goodrich Rubber company gives final
assurance that the work of posting
the roads of the state with sign and
direction boards at the hands of that
company will begin soon. In fact, the
letter states that the first representa-
tives of the company will be in the
state in the early part of the coming
month.
This first representative will be the
surveyor and his party, who represent
the B. F. Goodrich company in all the
Western states. This party will go
over the roads of the state as they
and will locate on the guide the most
propitious places for the signs of the
company These signs will later be
posted.
The placing of the boards is done
by the big motor truck of the B F.
Goodrich company. The truck, to-
gether with a number of experienced
hands in the business of road billing,
will tour the state, Following the plot
laid down by the surveyors party and
placing the boards at the points found
advantageous by that party.
The work is what the autoists of
the state have needed for long
time. 1t will facilitate all travellers,
whether they are members of the
Arizona Auto clubs or the outside
tourists passing through the state. At
the time of the last fair races from
the coast and from Ell Paso. there was
considerable trouble in picking the
right roads, and this trouble was only
looked after in the cities and towns
along the route. Where the roads
branched out of these inhabited spots
there was always doubt in the
minds of the drivers of the racers
as to the right road.
Another advantage of the boards
will be that they will give the exact
hdistance from the spot in which the
sign is located to the biggest city on
the road and to the next closest city
where auto supplies and equipment
may be secured.

JOTTINGS UNEARTHED
Notes of an Address to Children
Found in Paris.

PARIS, Dec. 29-Leo Claretie has
discovered at Guernessey, where Vic
tor Hugo lived, several manuscript
copies of the speeches made by the
great French writer at the dinners for
poor children which he used to give
every fortnight about Christmas time.
For each party large Christmas
tree was prepared and on it was a
gift for each child. Here are the
notes Hugo used for one of his adj
dresses.
My dear little children: Among
the toys to be given you, you will
find neither guns, cannons, swords
or other murderous weapons, or any
thing else which might give you the
idea of war or destruction. War is
an abomniable thing; men of all
countries are made for loving, not for
killing, one another. Among the
toys that 1 offer you the little girls
will find dolls excellent playthings
which will commence to fit them for
the role of motherhood, which they
will play later in their lives. For
the boys there are little boats, little
and in fact everything
which will present the idea of work
and progress, and not that Of destruc-
ton, to their intelligence.

EXPOSITION.

It is planned to have meeting of
the various interests in Arizona early
in January and start an initiative pc
tition for the raising of funds for Arr.
zona's participation at the Exposition.
Arizona was the fifteenth state to
dedicate its site, the ceremony having
taken place on July 5, 1912, by a COM
mission appointed by Governor Hunt.
Since then there have been eighteen
sites dedicated by as many states,
making thirty-three in all. Arizona
has one of the choicest locations in the
state section. It is proposed to erect
upon this site a building of character
istic Arizona architecture to house a
display of the states resources and
products, be rendezvous for Arizoni-
ans at the Exposition and headquar-
tiers for the state commission. Here
Arizona's representatives will explain
to visitors, by word and object lesson,
the marvellous resources which await
development within the state. e.
In those few states where, like Art-
IONA, legislatures failed to appropri-
ate, movements are under way to raise
funds by private subscription and do
nations, and it seems quite evident
that practically every state IN the
Union will take part. Oklahoma is
raising 100000 by this method and
has 1T practically all pledged. Mon !
tana has secured guarantees for a
similar amount, as have also Iowa,
Michigan and Texas. The Exposition
gives Arizona her site absolutely free
and is holding it pending the result of
the initiative petition to be circulated
in January. AS soon as the result Is
known an attempt will be made to get
funds advanced for construction, as all
buildings-must be started in time to be
completed before Feb. 20, 1915, the day
on which the Exposition will open.

popularity in Washington. Pat is the
same droll 1rishman as of yore, infec-
tiously humorous and good natured
with it. His famous boxing scene is
again one of the big hits of the show,
but there are a lot of new features
which take equally well. Aside from
the humoresque element, there is real
merit in the work of Red Feather, the
Indian prima donna, who has one Of
the best voices ever heard at the Gay
ETY.. Red Feather is striking bru-
nette and can act as well as sing. Anna
Grant and Lanier De Wolf sing and
dance well, are good looking and inject
a lot of ginger into the performance.
Among the others are James McIner-
ney. the character comedian; Tommie
ONell, who gives a splendid imita-
ton of "souse" climbing a fight of
stairs. and Jack Davis, who does a
dance on roller skates which calls for
an encore. The chorus puts plenty of
pep" into its work, and helps make
the show one of the best that has ap-
peared at the Gayety this season.

controller of the currency.
a call has been sent out requiring re-
turns on the disposition of emergency
currency issued to such banks. as TO
loans made and interest charges.
A warning to national banks has also
been issued by the Secretary OIL the
Treasury against charging excessive IN
terest on emergency issue loans or re-
fusal of legitimate credits. The warning
is coupled with threat to withdraw
government deposits from offending
banks, or to refuse issuance to them of
emergency currency.
In the cases of banks charged with
refusing to make loans Controller VIII

the amount of currency the banks have
on hand. and advising, in cases where
currency shortages are reported. that

Price Has Stiffened.

, THE price of cotton, as reported to
the Treasury Department, has stiffered
appreciably during the last few days,
sales being reported at from Sk to
SIS cents per pound, and that it is like
ly to go higher. August IS, when the
cotton conference was held at the
Treasury Department, cotton was re-
ported as selling in many places in the
south at from to Y cents per pound.
There is no reason, in my opinion,
for the pessimism which prevails in
many quarters of the south about cot
ton. The assistance which the federal
government is extending to the banks,
through the issuance of national bank
currency, against the notes secured by
cotton warehouse receipts, has already
greatly improved the situation.

Indicate Foreign Demand.

These reports indicate that the for
elgn demand for cotton in reasserting
itself and that it will increase in vol
ume.
For the month of August, 1914, the
total exports of cotton amounted to
only 21.210 bales, whereas for August,
1913, the total exports were 257,16S
bales, showing decrease in cotton ex-
ports for the month of August, 1914,
over the same month of last year of
$4,000 bales.
This indicates deferred demand
Tor cotton which ought to be encourag
ing to the cotton producers and ship
pers in this country, because Il large
part OF this demand will certainly have
TO be satisfied in the near future.
Moreover. the demand from domestic
mills must soon assert itself, because
