What Is Real Courage?

Once in a while somebody gets
 the Idea that the reason the local paper does not report every scan- dal that comes to public know ledge is because the publisher is afraid. That's not the reason. The reputable newspaper. espec- ially in a small town where everyone is neighbor to every one else, takes no delight in giv- ing publicity to those things that have brought disgrace to some family or heartache to some wife or mother. It is much more pleasant to record the good things that happen. to tell about the incidents that tend to make life more endurable, and that uplift rather than tear down. that bring joy instead of sorrow. pride lntead of heartache. So If you don't always find in the Ari- zona Record the delectable bit of that would doubtless make good reading" ,and if you

 because he doesn't print all the news, " consider that that home has had enough worry oyer unfortunate happenings,
 and that the gossips and scandal mongers of the community can and will gladly and ghoulishly give sufficient publicity to the details to satisfy the lowest tastes. Incidentally. it might be remarked here that the most complaint of censored news comes from people who have now or have had in their lives some things they are very glad were not given newspaper pubH- city. There come times, of course, when it is the definite business of the local newspaper to speak right out in meeting, to tell what happened. to give open publicity to conditions that are a reproach to community and for which the light of publicity seems the only cure.

Business Conditions Are Good
 The best indicator of oeneral

Business Conditions Are Good The best indicator of general
 business conditions in any com
 munity is the condition of the
 banks and other financial lnstitu-
 tions in that community. In
 community where the banks are
 sound; where their deposits are
 large, and their surplus and prof
 its are big. all lines of business
 are in good shape. In other
 words. the condition of the banks
 in any locality reflects the gene
 ral business conditions in that
 locality.
 Business conditions are good
 in Holbrook and Navajo county. Prices of sheep and wool, and cattle, are high; merchants are enjoying a good trade and any man who wants to work can get a job, whether he be skilled or unskilled. The condition of pros perity is general and extends to all lines of industry.
 The condition of the banks in the county undoubtedly reflects this general prosperity. While we have not at hand a state ment of the condition of all the banks in the county. we have be- fore us the statement of the con- dltion of the Merchants 6 Stock growers Bank of Holbrook, which was published in the News last week. This statement shows this bank to be in splen- 2 lid condition, and as it reflects J he general condition of business ( throughout this section of Ari- sona it is worthy of comment.
 This bank was opened in Hol- ' brook six years ago. and that it's business has grown steadily from he first day is shown by the 2 'ublIshed statement of it's T ondition at the close Q f business June 23, last. e his statement shows that the a ank has deposits amounting to n 258, 758.77, a surplus of $30. 900 " nd undivided profits of $7. 355.- 8. e
 This a splendid showing of ol usiness and it is a credit to any Il nancial institution in any coun- m y. Since it reflects the pros al porous condition of the whole al ommunity it is conclusive proof p' lat business conditions are good.

CARELESSNESS OF {
What looms up strong as a case of
rotten careIessness is brought to
light in a story told by Miss Juliet
Cunningham about the Chicago
Telephone Co.
An electrical storm, a streak of
lightning, some uncovered wires,
Miss Cunningham, her mother and
the aforementioned rotten care
lessness" are the big factors in the
story.
During the electrical storm the
streak of lightning shot direct to
some wires on the outside of the
Cunningham home, 1874 w. 31st St,
and followed the wires to their end,
which was on the wall of the Cum
bingham dining room. At this point,
according to Miss CUnningham's
story, the wires were sticking out
absolutely unprotected by tape. The
flash of lightning then passed direct
ly over the head Of the elder lady and
she was knocked unconscious. The
daughter was thrown to the floor.
Miss Cunningham, only slightly in
jured, carried her mother to a bed
room and returned and put out the
blue fame still playing around the
ends of the Untaped wires. An at
tempt was made to call a physician
over the phone in the apartment of
the fiat above, but that telephone
was rendered out of order. Oscar
Olson and his aunt, Mrs. HiIma Olson,
who live in the upper apartment,
were also jolted by the lightning
flash.
Miss Cunningham, backed by the
electricians who Investigated shortly
after the storm, claims that there
was no ground wire attached to the
telephone wires. If there had been
the electrical current would have
been grounded.

An electrician was called in. He

fuses of the telephone and that the
ends of the wires showed plainly that
the lightning had struck them.
