THOUGHTS
on BUSINESS
For the Wage-Worker, the Sal
AIRED Man, and the Proprietor.
THE RIGHT STANDPOINT.

"HE progressive man naturally
enjoys hard work. especially
\ such work as calls for resource,
Initiative and skill.
He regards his work as a school IN
which every new experience is an in
teresting and helpful lesson.
He is eager 10 take new response
5ilities. eager to do any piece OF IN
familiar work. and eager 10 do more
and more szilfully the work he already
Knows well
The unprOgressive man-poor fellow
often has just as much natural abil-
ity as the other. but he has . wrong
idea about work.
Sometimes he works hard in the
wrong direction because he thinks il
is the right one. More often his fail
Ore 70 get ahead is due 70 the fact
that he does not bring all his powers
and enthusiasm to bear upon the work
in hand
His whole heart Is not in his task.
The unprOgressive man does not con-
slider his work school, but vaguely
lmagines that II is a sort Of punish
ment TO be avoided II possible.
Il matters not 20 him that the world
needs 10 have the work done-he
thinks only Of his own immediate com
fort, and in so doing loses the great
reward which the world pays 70 its
real helpers-the JOY of a useful life
one who shirks because he thinks
he gains ease, and who works only
from necessiry-help him to see these
two opposite standpoints.
One clear glimpse OF the true rela-
tons between himself and his work
will sometimes inspire a man-and
give to the world another progressive
worker

Forget Geronimo's Atrocities.

suggestion has been made in Arizona that in the
basement of the Hotel Geronimo to be built in Tucson
chamber of horrors be established dedicated TO Ger
onino's atrocities 1t would hold figures showing
the tortures which Geronimo committed caused his
braves TO commit-eyes gOuged out, ears Topped or
limbs broken in dozen places, and deeds more hor
rible All this would be for the purpose of making
show for the curious tourist causing him to spend his
money TO see what Geronimo used to do.
The suggestion is almost as gTueSOme the atrooi-
ties themselves There still plenty of Arzonans
who would like to forget the terror and horror which
used to attach to Geronimos There are plenty
Of others who content to let Geronimo stay dead
and wish the memory of his misdeeds to stay buried
likewise There also who believe the old CHI
huahua Indian more sinned against than SHINING
In any event. nothing Is 10 be gained by revlvng as
It were his atrocities at this date
Far better would it be TO fix up a Geronimo room
with relics Of Apache life and warfare Plenty Of such
relics are available and of that kind could be
made fully interesting though not horrible as the
chamber of terroTs proposed
To show wax figures of Geronimo's tOrtures would
be far less than kindness to families whose relatives
were thus muated by the Indians Furthermore there
might be dsgTuntled tourists enough to say the
hotel was well named when it came 10 trimming PEG

Help the University Grow.

In anticipation of a request of the University of
Arizona the state legislature for increased appro
pratiOn, it is fitting recall that the growth of the
university has been quite marked that of any other
institution in the state.
When the university opened doors 1892 it had
but 80 pupils, of whom many preparatory stu
dents not be included in the collegiate enrolment
Five required to double the total enrolment
In 1909 there 100 students and from then until
1911 the university almost stood STILL for in the latter
year there but 1870 students enrolled
Since 1911, however, the increase has been rapid
In that year the preparatory department abol-
lShed, but IN spite of that fact which naturally sent
back to the high schools and academies many boys and
girls who otherwise would have been living the uni
veTsity campus and taking subcOegiate work. the en-
rolment in 1912 was 2eo. 1t $50 in 1918, $50 IN
1914, $50 in 1915, and $50 last year
Give the university more buildings and equipment
and few more years, and the enrolment will pass the
1000 mark The institution is placing itself such
firm foundation that its growth from now assured
if the state provides proper appropriations for expan
sion
It is to be hoped that none of the legislators
assembled at Phoenix will be short sighted to at
tempt unwise economies with the university

NO OIL FAMINE
CITY COMMISSION HAS SECURED
A SUPPLY FROM AN OKLA
HOMA FIRM.

Oil has been secured by the city
commission and the threatened econ
omizing on fuel by the residents of
Madison has been STAYED off for the
time being. The oil was obtained
from an Oklahoma firm at a cost of
$3.50 per barrel. and. barring snow
blockades and a shortage of ears, will
be here within the next ten days.
This same fuel could be obtained
two years & for 40 cents a barrel,
according to Mayor Waskey. but the
shortage here, due to the enormous
shipments to Europe, has raised the
price to an almost exhorbitant figure.
The report went the rounds yester-
day that the commission would ask
business places to close at 6 O'Clock
on account of the scarcity of the
city's supply of oil, but whether that
was to be the actual plan Mayor
Waskey did not state. He did say
this morning, however. that had 1t
not been for the securing of the oil
from the Oklahoma firm. the people
would have been asked to economic
on fuel as much as possible.
The commission was refused ship
ments from the Standard, Texas and
the Continental Oil companies, but
after much negotiating was able TO
secure a car from the Oklahoma firm.
The older companies refused ship
ments by reason of the lack of sup
ply and the shortage of cars.
