Judge Ross q Strong Candidate

Henry D. Ross. justice of the supreme court of Arizona, was Tn Navajo county a few days this week, working in the interests of his candidacy for reelection. Lack of time prevented his visit ing Holbrook but he spent a day in Winslow.
 Judge Ross is now serving his second term as justice of the supreme court of the state; the record he has made during his incumbency of this high office is an enviable one, and it is a record that entities him to reelection.
 Prior to hls elevation to the supreme bench Judge Ross prac- ticed law in Prescott; there his practice was large and extended throughout the northern part of the state, it bringing him ire quently to Navajo and Apache counties.
 In these two last named counties. and in his home county of Yavaipai, Judge Ross will poll a large majority of the demo- cratic vote at the primary cleo tion in September, and it is the opinion of hls many admirers throughout the state that his nomination is a certainty.

No Trace of Missing Man

Up to the time the News went to press nothing had been heard of Charles H. Moore. the Hol- brook young man who was lost in the Rocky mountains near Frazer. Col, July 5. Harvey Moore, a brother of the missing man. has been in Frazer for ten days; he had decided that it was useless to continue the search and wired hls parents in Hol- brook that he intended to return home. The parents, however, had not abandoned hope and they decided to go to Frazer themselves, and they left Hol- brook Sunday night for that point, wiring their son Harvey that they were coming.
 In the absence of any evidence that the missing man has met death from accident or expo sure, in such event his body would certainly have been found, the mostplausible theory is that he suffered a lapse of memory and wandered away to a strange locality. That he will eventually be found alive and restored to health and friends is the belief of those most cOnver- sant with the facts.

Out of the Ground
By Mr.. C. A. H.

The basis of wealth is thing never bought
Success" must be founded on fact;
"A crooked deed or dishonest thought.
Will ruin agreement or past.
All efforts must have beginning,
And that which men call Success
Must be free from all guile and SHINING
For wealth at the end to bless.
Dame Natures vast storehouse of treasure,
With motive honest and fair,
Will sometimes reward without measure,
Those who toll patiently there;
Achievement can never be surer,
More permanent, lasting and sound;
Nor wealth be attained that is purer,
Thaa that which man takes from the
ground.

OF giving least and getting most.

With open hands and willing mind,
l live in Service of mankind.
And hold him first among the rest

Oblivion is the flower that grows best
on graves.
Put yourself out to amuse others when
you are tempted to sadness.
When a man s education is finished he
helps to swell the undertaker's fortune.
The earth is said to be fiat at the poles
and some candidates also are ha.tened at
the polls.
Gods words are always of love, no
matter whether they be words of promise
or of warning.
If you have overcome your inclination
and not been overcome by it, you have
reason to rejoice.
-"Live and let live is good motto
for all men-with the exception of butchers
and undertakers.
Every day that dawns brings something
to do which can never be done so we'll
again. We should, therefore, try to do it
ungrudgingly and cheerfully. 1t was de-
signed to be our life, our happiness. In
stead of shrinking it, we should put our
whole heart and soul into it.
