Having been in the Salt River val ley but once before, MT. James H. Christian, a prominent automobile tire manufacturer of Chicago, came to Phoenix just a week ago, arriving on Saturday morning. Before he left on a motor trip to Globe on Tuesday morning, he had purchased three pieces of Salt River valley real es tate including the F. E. Rush su- burban property on East Roanoke avenue a lot in the West Baltimore Heights Addition, and the w. D. FulWiler forty tract located on Glendale avenue, at Romano avenue and the car line.
 Mir Christian had not planned on such an extensive investment but during his short stay found that he could not resist the allurements. and is expecting that his son shall come out here some time soon to take charge of the FulWiler tract

At the FirsI Christian church,
 Monroe street and Fifth avenue, a
 great company taxing the capacity
 of the church, assembled in a fare well reception rendered to Rev. and Mrs. Claude c. Jones, pastor of the church.
 At the close of a masterly sermon by Evangelist J. A. Barnett, R. E. Dunlap, state evangelist was called to preside On taking the chair MT Dunlap paid a high tribute to the character and service of the retiring
 pastor and his wife. He was followed by Rev. Ray Harter, of the M. E. :, church, who spoke as the senior pas tor in the city of the excellent qual 1 ity of service rendered by Rev. Jones as seen by a fellow pastor. In a similar vein Rev. George R. Varney spoke of the fellowship of the min istry and of the seriousness of breaking into it's halloWed circles Rev Mir Sims then spoke for few
 minutes in his characteristic way so well known to Phoenicians. He
 brought the rift in the cloud with his side splitting humor
 Rev. F. D. Raley, state Sunday school secretary, spoke his apprecia- ton of AIr. Jones as a Sunday school
 man. MT Blair, of the Y. M. C. A.. said the Christian church would be going some if it found the equal of
 Rev. Jones to take up the work. Mrs. Donofrio, representing the Woman's Missionary Society, in a
 neat speech. presented Christian Woman's Board of Missions emble-
 matic brooch to Mrs. Jones, as q token

of the love born her by the women of the church. Mrs. Jones responded in a beautiful appreciation of the gift.
 Mir J. M. Stewart then spoke for the congregation in well chosen words of the great service rendered this church by Brother Jones. In closing his remarks he presented to Mir and Mrs Jones two Navajo rugs, feebly expressing the affection of the congregation. Fred S. Carter of Winslow sang with expression the song entitled "The Harvest Time" MT Jones responded in his unique manner to the addresses briefly re- counting items of his ministry and describing his visions of the future of the church.
 After a closing prayer by Mir. Dun Hap refreshments were served by the ladies of the church and the throng i tarried for more than an hour in social intercourse.
 Rev Claude C. Jones has accepted the call of the church at Rome Georgia, to becOme-its pastor, con- meeting with it the office work of state missionary secretary. He will deliver his farewell sermon this morning.

to this state. Too many of these set tiers have come to Arizona with the idea that they could get rich quick Getting something for nothing is a notion which appeals to certain class of people, and such people are usually very much disappointed when they find in order to get something they have got to work for it. It is now being realized that farming in Arizona is practically the same as in other parts of the country. and that the staple crops and livestock form the basis of successful farm ing with fruits. vegetables poultry etc. sounds good on paper, but it does not bring cash to the pocket book of the average farmer. The sooner the boosters" of Arizona S agricultural resources learn what scientific. constructive advertising is, and the sooner our farmers and new settlers realize that farming means careful planning backed up by expert advice and hard work, the sooner AriZona's agriculture will be put on a sound, financial basis Agricultural Extension Service, Uni versity of Arizona.
