NEW TIRE COMPANY
 ID INVADE ARIZONA

A wire from Los Angeles indicates that R w. Koerner. special factory representative of the Ajax Grieb Rubber company of Trenton, N J, is about to take Arizona by storm.
 The increasing number of automo- piles in this state and the consump- tion of tires has turned the eyes = many of the large tire factories toward this market and the Ajax people are planning a vigorous cam paign to get their share of the busi- ness. It is said to be the Ajax plan to appoint a state representative, whose headquarters will be located in l'hoenix and who will organize the state, establishing sales connections in each locality.
 The battle cry of the Ajax plant is hand made tires from hand-pick- ed materials. by hand picked work men in a modern up-to- o-date plant" rather than tremendous volume of output of machine made tires by an army of workmen.
 This state is under the general supervision of the Pacific coast dis tributors. Hughson X NurtOn of san Francisco, Los Angeles. Seattle and Portland, and who like the factory. have recognized the excellent field offered in this state.

floor The ravages of starvation and disease were appalling.
 There remains in our minds the picture of a baby whose drawn face, the skin stretched sharply over the bones, which gave an expression of toothless old age, weakly clutching at the breast of a mother who was too weak to nourish or care for it. The woman in charge said that usually there were three or four deaths every day.
 ITO the members of the commission it was obvious that several of the sick were dying. Disease and starva- ton were rapidly settling all problems for that unhappy group.
 In fact, the commission felt that in the whole city a hundred patients were dying of typhus every day and that the force of grave diggers was made quate to keep up with the work of burying the bodies.
 Consideration of these facts" the report continues. daily impressed more deeply upon our minds, leads the commission to the conclusion that any help which the foundation may be disposed to give in Servia should first be devoted to the direction and support of a strong. systematic fight upon the epidemics which now pre- vail and which are swiftly enveloping the entire nation
