CONTENT.

Content is the tomorrow of the
human disposition. 1t is what we are
going to have as soon as we have
gotten a little more. Content ena-
bles man to be satisfied with what
he has and to believe it is ell he de-
serves. Tradition says that there
was contented man once, long ago,
but he left no records because he
refused to be interviewed. He had
all the publicity he wanted, along
with other things. Content is q
great peace which settles down in a
mans soul and enables him to look
at a 1916 model automobile without
a sigh. He may have 1000 or he
may have a half interest in the state
of Rhode IslaHd. But whatever he
has it is enough. He rises in the
morning care-free and drinks liber-
ally of the bright sunshine and the
joy of living. If he eats bread and
cheese he does not yearn for pie, and
if he is served by "a butler and four
subscribers he does not lean his
head in his hands and weep all over
the breakfast table because his
neighbours butler was once kicked
by an earl. Content also enables a
woman to put on a hat commensur-
ate with her husbands income and to
spend a joyful afternoon at the home
of a friend instead of travelling four
miles in a distinguished taxicab and
a gown which sits on her husbands
mind like a mortgage, AID breaking
through triple line of defenses at a
reception in order to discover wheth-
er or not the society leader Of the
town remembers her name. Content
raises healthy, honest children, AID
enables business to be so conducted
that the government investigators
pass it by with cold Indifference. 1t
fattens savings accounts, takes the
barbed wire out Of dispositions,
causes two friends to rush in where
one slipped out before, and makes old
age a peaceful, happy journey
towards the golden sunset. If there
was more content il our beloved
country, we would have fewer mil
lionaires; less dyspepsia and more
Ififty-year-old men acquiring an edu-
cation in life instead of hunting loop
holes. We would also have to hunt
much harder for our statesmen, and
it would sometimes be necessary to
get out and comb the state for a
senator, owing to the great reluc-
lance of men fully qualified for the
office of poundmaster to leave that
job and run for something higher.
This one fact shows more clearly
than anything else the entirely my
thical nature of content.

NAVY TO VISIT PANAMA CANAL

With the prospect of viewing
the greatest engineering feat of
the century, hundreds of United
States Marines, now serving with
the Atlantic Fleet, are eagerly
looking forward to March 18th,
when battleships, cruisers and
destroyers are scheduled to make
five-day trip to the Panama
Canal.

the customary visits of the sea
soldiers to many foreign ports,
and while no formal arrange

plans are being made to enable
the men of the fleet to make an
annual visit to South American
and other neutral ports, mainly
for educational and recreative

CAMPBELL IS GOVERNOR

The first round in the guber-
Material contest was awarded to
Thomas E. Campbell by the State
Supreme Court, which announced
its decision Saturday afternoon,
declaring Mr.. Campbell the de
facto governor of the State.
The second round, which is
now going on in the Superior
Court of Maricopa county, will,
perhaps take several weeks be-
fore a fall can be announced for
either contestant.
As the matter stands now, Mr..
Campbell is governor because the
official returns showed he had 80
plurality and because of this fact,
was given the election certificate.
The contest which is now in full
Roadway may determine that
Mr.. Hunt really had the greatest
number of votes, in which event
Mr.. Hunt will resume his job as
governor of the State.

GIRLS CANNING CLUBS

l.. S. Parke, State Club Leader,
University of Arizona, makes the
following very interesting report
of the work accomplished by the
girls canning clubs: gee.
Recent compiled data shows
that a grand total of 5,363 quarts
of canned products were put up
by the canning club girls of the
State. Of this amount, 1,258a
quarts were, canned vegetables.
This fact is particularly signif-
cant for the reason that veg
etables are considered very hard
to can.
The total value of all products,
based on uniform prices, is
So, O11.75, and according to the
girls cost records, including la
Dor, cost Of products, jars, sugar,
rubbers, etc., the total cost of
production was 1902. 80, or a trifle
over 16a cents per quart, leaving
a net profit of 81, 100. 43.
Sixteen and three-fourths cents
per quart cost of production is
unusually high, but this can be
explained by the fact that in a
great many instances the pro-
ducts put up were not grown at
home, but purchased on the local
market.
While the above is an attempt
to place an accurate dollar and.
cent value on the work, it is not
reasonable to suppose that all of
the benefits derived can be
measured in that manner. How
can we measure the value of the
work to the girls, mentally,
physically and morally? How
can we measure the good that it
has done in the home and the in

INVENTS NEW TOOL

L. V. Slonaker, telephone en-
gineer in the Forest Service, has
perfected new tool for tele-
phone linemen, according to
Forest officials in Albuquerque.
1t is called a ply-wrench and per-
forms the work heretofore done
by pliers, splicing wrench and
screw driver. Its weight, bulk
and cost are practically the same
as that of ordinary pliers.
Forest rangers often humor-
ously liken themselves to a walk
ing hardware store by reason
of the great amount of equip
ment which their diverse duties
require them to carry" says
District Forester Redington.
Equipment for a days work
may include an axe, compass,
notebook, chain, pins, pliers,
splicers, climbers, buffalo grips
and field glasses. One or all of
these may be found on any
rangers horse or person. The
elimination of two telephone tools
by this perfectly workable ply
wrench, will, therefore, be a
great boon to the Forest Service
in the maintenance of its thou
sands of miles of telephonelines. "

PLANT SUDAN GRASS

The following information is
valuable to those who are in a
position to plant Sudan grass in
Arizona: 80. m~. ~
Sudan grass has been success
fully grown on all of our station
farms this past year Two of
these farms were dry farming one
situated in the northern part of
the State at an altitude of 5000
feet, another one in the lower
plateau region in the southeastern
part of the State at an altitude
of 1000 feet. On both of these
dry farms the Sudan seed can be
sown as early in spring as the
late frosts will permit, and will
mature into a good hay crop for
the first cutting in about rs days.
We can mature it for seed in
these regions from 100 to 115
days. In the irrigated. sections
of the State Sudan can be sown
from March to the first of August
and mature seed crop.
We made one planting in the
Salt River valley on the 10Th of
August, and obtained 3.3 tons
cutting of excellent hay on the
26th of October. There is no
question about the adaptability
of this crop to Arizona conditions.

TALKS WITH THE

ICOPYRIGHTEDl


Merchandise we'll bought is only half Sold
Your stock represents money and it is money that
is tied up. Make this money work for you as
much as possible-and advertising is the key to
the situation.
You have certain fixed expenses that cannot
be materially reduced Better sell so articles at a
gross profit of 80 cents EACH than sell 80 articles
at a gross profit of so cents EACH even though you
have to spend $500 in advertising in order to sell
the so articles.
Nothing succeeds like success. People like
to trade with firm that is doing good business.
To stop advertising because of dull season
is to lose momentum Keep the ball rolling when
you have it started, by using a judcious amount
of advertising motive force.
The large department stores and the mail or
der houses are sending tons and tons ofadvertisng
matter into the short crop sections of the country.
People have to buy some goods, SO be sure to get
your share of the business.
The steady drip will wear away the stone.
Careful, Stck-to-it information full advertising
is an asset, not liability and you can make your
advertising one of the most successful features of
your business.

ing. Il reads as follows:
AN article in the Star-Bulletin of

ton Of wheat and how It was possible
by the serving Of war bread, bread
similar to that of graham, was very
interesting, not only to myself, but
/ am sure to hundreds or thousands
of others who eat In cafes and restau-
rants in this city.
at could be proved easily enough
by a test that a great percentage Of
the people prefer either all or part
of the time bread made Of coarse
flour. This test could be made by the
restaurants supplying graham and rye
bread on their tables and noting the
quantity consumed.
Besides making q great saving In
wheat, 1t would add greatly to pleas
Ing the patrons. Corn bread Is an
other thing that could be placed on
all tables, especially for breakfast and

possible to obtain in this city. You
