INTERNATIONAL
COMPA HERE

Indicative of the growing prosperity
and betterment of business conditions
in the Salt River valley is the an
nouncement of a new business con-
Germ for this city. The o. S. Stapley
company of Mesa is to establish a
branch at Five Points in the near fu-
ture. A large shipment of machinery
and trucks manufactured by the Inter
national Harvester company have been
ordered and are now on the road 1t
is expected that the new concern will
be open for business within the next
two weeks
So well does the International Har-
yester company think of prospects in
this section that they have sent a
factory representative Emerson Hoyt,
here to introduce their well known line
to the public. Hoyt is enthusiastic
over the Salt River valley and de-
clares that never has he seen better
and more growing business conditions
tbon prevail here at the present time.

1T is SOMETIMES BETTER TO REMAIN A BORE
THAN TO MAKE YOURSELF TOO
INTERESTING

In the March American Magazine "Sid" says:
When you talking a man, and when his
interest in what you saying begins lag a good
way to resuscitate him is to lean forward and say:
What am going to tell you is in the strictest
confidence You must not breathe word of it Or
dinariy who has that said to him will wake up
and pay better attention to your conversational
least for while What you have really done when
you say that to man is this: you have prevented
him from going to sleep your hands, you have
stirred his curiosity, you have advertised
"As scheme for stimulating interest in your line
of talk it is all right But if what you then proceed
to tell is something that you really have kept
ton that don't want people to spread around-keep
it to yourself
THE trouble with a human being who hears a
thing in confidence is this-he can't remember
that he heard it in confidence. He remembers the
Item OF news providing it is juicy enough, but the
fact that he heard in confidence drops out of mind
and then he begins to tell it around Telling thing
in confidence is a little like handing man a Jewel
in an envelope and the same time warning him to
take as good of the envelope as he takes of the
Jewel Everything goes all right for a while But by
and by the envelope 1t is a flinsy sort
of thing anyway. And so there comes time when
the envelope having grown thin and weak and frayed
at the edges, slips or is cast off and nothing re-
mains but the jewel.

ADJUSTMENTS
GREAT FEATURE
At PLAZA TOMORROW

Out of the forest wilderness 63o
miles north of Winnipeg, came Il
clean limbed, fine-lined boy some
years ago. He reflected the natur.
Of his environment. He was quiet,
self mastered, slow to speech and
quick to action the man for thu
pinch. the idealist-Richard c. Ira
vers of the Essanay company.
Up to the time he was 10 years
old, Dick" Travcrs never saw q
white woman except his mother. He
barren places at the headwaters of a
little riser His father, 3 Scot, was
the first Protestant missionary IN the
territory and the agent Of the Hud-
son Bay company. The child grew
up with the silent Indians and the
inscrutable trappers whose lives made
them tactiturn and whose daily
brushes with death in the open
places made them self-cOntained and
danger hungry.
When he was 10 years old. he ac-
companied his father on a wonder
trip to Toronto. There he saw white
women, many of them, but their pres
cnce made him shy and their graces
rendered him distrustfu He was
used to The silent, patient Indian
women. A garlulous woman filled
him with wonder and a little shyness.
His hobby is guns and his favorite
sports are all those WHICH test the
endurance and bring out the grit in
a man. That is another result of his
early training. A man can't come
out of the wilderness ard be :,
weakling. If he were a weakling. he
would never come out. His bones
would be bleaching somewhere along
the unbeaten trail and the buzzards
would be croaking over his departed
soul.
But instead of this Travers went
out of the wilderness and now goes
back-many years later-back in thu,
ahakis anc boots in which he was
reared to young manhood-back to
give 20 the world lis recollcctions of
northwoods life as it was and as it is.

MAJESTIC WILL
De OPENED ON
THURSDAY EVE

Introducing an innovation in local
moving picture houses the new Ma
iestic theater at % East Washington.
street will open Thursday night Fol
lowing the latest ideas in vogue on
the coast and the east. Messrs. FEEDER
sor and Gamble. the lessees, havr
constructed the screen at the front
Of the house with the seating ar
rangement placed directly opposite
that of ordinary picture houses.
According to Z. O. Federson, who
has just returned from Los Angeles,
this arrangement has been found to
be the most practical in housing the
patrons of moving picture SHOWS
ederson brought with him the
screen for the new show house, which
is Of specially constructed material
ana is stationary.
The feature Ior The opening night
will be Alice Brady in The Hungry
Heart" The theater will show I'm
angle and World features exclusively
at the low price of 5, 10 and Is cents.
There are severa features of the
new house which should appeal
strongly to local theater patrons,
among which is the arrangement OF
the seats. The house has been so
arranged that there are but three
seats in a row. Under this plan
Jefferson declares. there viii be no
confusion and trouble as is customary
when a patron desires to leave the
house or new arrivals are seated.
Ore of the greatest discomforts of
The movie theater is the constant de-
partures and arrivals OF patrons" said
Federson. The long rows containing
seven. eight or even ten seats are
hard to get in and out Of In the
Majestic we have eliminated this
nuisance by leaving only three seats
to a row. Under this arrangement
those going and coming WI. not dis
turb the patrons who are viewing the
picture
The new show house also will givo
every patron a clear view of the
screen, there being no posts at any
point to obstruct the vision. Another
feature is the woman's and chiidren's
rest room. which has been furnished
with . view to giving those who wish
to retire to the room for a few mo-
merits every comfort and convenience
possible
Il wish to state that the new the

All legislative bodies this country very much

ellis There perhaps higher average OF ability IN
the national congress- but doubt there are many
thousands of men in the state legislatures and the

to select from the legislatures and the town councils

house of representatives superior to the present mem

of them capable business But that is not

Snow or Hail?

The weather buerau is too scientific upsetting all
old ideas of nomenclature and casting some
Election upon the semi sub tropical climate of the
Salt River valley. 1t is thing to call the hail of
Monday snow in the form of small pellets" and
other to make believe it what know to be
snow. If this ruling of the weather bureau is per-
mitted stand there is nothing to prevent it next
summer from classifying July showers "liqui-
fled snow" In the end all of precipitation will
be reduced to snow.
We will admit that whatever else they may have
been, these missiles with which the heavens bonn
barded Phoenix and its vicinity Monday were some
pellets" They must have been, to so many
ornamental light globes and deprive the fruit-tree
blooms of their petals. Snow know it would
not have done that.
We do not care continental what the weather
bureau calls it, but do not want it go into the
record snow 1t does not snow in Phoenix; at
least very often hail not infrequent here 1t is
no slam the climate afflicted with hail. That
happens in the best regulated climates oftentmes
midsummer. We have understood that hail is rain
frozen while passing through a stratum of air of
freezing temperature and there strata even
equatorial countries if one goes high enough
up. So it is more of disgrace for climate to
have hail than it is for individual to have measles
and while that is misfortune it is a cause of
obloquy. Having the itch, though is a different mat
ter That suggests carelessness of person or asso-
Citations.
This SNOW in the form of pellets" is the first
innovation the weather bureau has introduced since
the early winter in. 1t overturned matters in the
east by the substitution word "glaze" for
"seet,' the by which frozen rain had been
known from the time of Chaucer. The of "seet"
was not entirely discarded by the weather bureau
but it pretended to make distinction we believe
between heavy coating of ice deposited and light
one, though just where the dividing line between
glaze" and "seet' is drawn has been satisfac-
toriy stated
The old timers could distinguish the difference
A coating of glaze removed their feet from beneath
them as easily coating of "sleet and when they
suddenly sat down upon the glaze" the impact
as violent as if they had been pumped down a
layer of sleet.
