the greatest appeal and find a quiet
corner in the reading room or on the
porch where without interruption you
can read and mediate ON the subject

corner. You will want TO return

THE NAVAJO COUNTRY

The true heroic age" of hui
man history was the period of
direct contact with nature, the
age in which heroic accomplish
ment and heroic endurance were
part of the daily routine. The
activities of men of that stage of
progress deserve a place among
the most cherished traditions Of
the human race. In the Navajo
country in Arizona and New
Mexico are the remnants of an
almost extinct race, whose long
occupation of the country is re-
corded in ruined dwellings and
abandoned fields. This little
known region is the home of the
vigorous and promising Navajos.
To improve the condition of the
long-neglected but capable race,
to make their life more intelli-
gently wholesome by applying
scientific knowledge, is a duty
which should appeal to the peo-
pie of the United States.
In 1909, Herbert E. Gregory,
Of the United States Geological
Survey, Department of the In
terror, began study of the in
teresting geological problems of
this country at the request of the
Office of Indian Affairs. At
times these explorations were
exhausting and dangerous, but
the loyalty and devotion of as
sistants and Navajo guides We're
equal to the many hardships and
and uncertainties of desert travel.
The future of the Navajo
country depends largely on the
solution of one problem - the
water supply-and therefore this
work was designed to procure
data bearing on this problem.
The geography of the region was
also studied with a view to pre-
pairing a description of this little
known part of the United States
an account designed to facili-
tate the work of those who are
to supplement the preliminary
examination by detailed studies.
The report of these explora-
tons is extremely interesting not
only to engineers and biologists
but to all who have felt the charm
of the Southwest or who have

.COVERNORSHIP MIDDLE

In view of the fact that a GER
tifcate of election has been is
sued by Secretary of State Os-
born to Thomas E. Campbell as
the duly elected governor of the
State, according to the official
returns, the position taken by
Governor Hunt in refusing to
give up the office seems very
peculiar under the circumstances,
to say the least.
According to the news we re-
ceive-from the inspection of the
ballots at Phoenix, on which a
contest will be based, Governor
Hunt is ahead in votes corrected
in the several precincts in the
counties so far inspected, and,
if, on the completion of all the
ballots, Governor Hunt is shown
to have received a greater num-
Der of votes than Mr.. Campbell,
the contest can hardly fail to
end favorably to Governor Hunt.
In such an event, which under
present conditions, might easily
be surmised, it would be more
democratic for Governor Hunt to
yield to the situation which now
exists by the granting of a GER
tificate of election to Mr.. Camp
bell, who is really governor until
the courts decide otherwise.
1t is to be regretted that the
democratic party has been put in
a position before the people of
this State as being unwilling to
abide by the law, when the truth
of the matter is that the demo-
cratic party, as party, is not
responsible for the present state
of affairs at the capital in Phoe-
nix, with two men claiming the
office of governor, and it will
hardly be possible for the demo-
cratic party to support Governor
Hunt in his present position.
If democracy means anything
at all, it must mean honesty in
all purposes of government and
a square deal for all the people.
At this time it looks as if democ-
racy has slipped down to the tail
of the donkey. which is wagging
in a very disgraceful manner.

This is not true today, for friendship and acauaint-
anceship are not such potent factors in the getting
of business as thy once were In fact some folks
seem to prefer to buy goods from someone at a
distance They arc Influenced BY the careful and
clever cataloguing, advertising and pricing of
goods.
Retail dealers-you must advertise your wares
at their prices-not yourselves.
Some people enjoy the advertisements in the
magazines almost as much as they do the articles
and stories. Do you know why? Because the
advertisements are often interestingly illustrated
and because they tell something they contain
information.
The average advertisement in the country
newspaper does not give much information There
is often great repetition of meaningless state
mentS hence great waste OF space.
Any retail business man can learn to write
fairly good advertisements that will get results My
future talks will tell how this may be done.
