kARNS OF SANTA CRUZ.

In selecting it's representative
 in the senate chamber of the
 second state legislature of Ariz-
 ona, the people of Santa Cruz
 county looked around for 'man
 turally, in the Ford garage in
 Nogales. Harry J. Karns, like
 the machine that Henry made famous, is strong for practic- ability on merit rather
 than exhibition features. While
 his activities as director of the
 business of Karls Brothers, In corporated, dealers in all man. her of motors, trucks and pump. ing and farm machinery cover his own county and the whole west coast of Mexico, field big enough to keep one man busy, this is by no means all that con- stituteS MT. Karns man of parts.
 He found time in 1913 to con struct the municipal waterworks in NogaleS and has allied him. self with every public move ment looking to the real develop ment of his city, county and state. from it's pysical resources 5o matters of civic pride and community betterment. Mining and agriculture, with their at- tendant branches, are the funda- mentals of prosperity in south ern Arizona and planting him. self on the middle ground of motors and machinery, the Karns interests work both ways. Any thing for the bettermeut of either industry means more wheels to go round, and KarnS sells 'em. He should be credited with the to the man who makes two blades of grass grow where only one grew before. In growing blade for himself he produces one for the other fellow, and it is successful and diversified business experience that fits men for public service.
 MT. Karus, while gratifying a personal ambition, is also serv ing the people of his county and every other section of the state
  SticS, in a way that has yet been lone by no other private citizen. He has tract of thirteen acres of incomparable land in the sub- 1rbs, of Nogales, where he has built model little home, and is levoting his acreage to the Dur- poses of a private demonstration ,f farm and nursery. If he can make it remunerative well and good and he thinks he can; but the result the public will be given without charge the benefit of all his experiments ion. It is his plan to discover y practical means every variety if fruit and ornamental tree, hrub, vine, and berry that can ,e grown successfully in the climate of Santa Cruz county. ie may plant many things that will never grow, but the best way to find out is to try it and karns' money will save dollars nd time for others who will ome after him.
 These are some of the reasons vhy MT. KarnS was sent to the enate by the people of his cOun- y and why he was selected as hartman of the committee on .griculture and irrigation and member of the committees on and public institutions, hines and mining, finance, judi iary, public lands, and counties nd county affairs. He has no nore time to loaf on his legisla- i've job than while pursuing the OcatiOn of his private life. He 5 good example of the old dage that if one wants some. hing done he would better get
 busy man to do it. Karns is ccomplishing much of value to he state, that it is expected will ppear in the finished work of he session.
 Mir. KarnS born in Jamestown, [. Y, in 1880, became interest d in mining in Mexico, was un- returned to Nogales, ent for his brothers in Califor- ia and established the nucleus f their present large business. IT.. KarnS has a wife and two hildren, the fruits of union -ith a devoted woman who with is mother, nursed him back to fe after the result of an ac- ident that proved all but fatal m m a taria lIv ohan0aH a conn.,
