By Dubeliu DubeILu Tee

LEE SIMMONS, Red Star Line.- we people in Northern Arizona do not realize what wonderful country we have. Driving as I do, day after day, with people who have travelled through many parts of the world, I am impressed with the fact that they sincerely admire Northern Arizona's attractions. We who live here don't know what fine country we have un- til such people as these tell us it is more wonderful than many attract ions abroad"
 J. L. BYRNES, Recruiting officer "The old line which they write in order to get speed on typewriter is now quite appropo. Here is the way it goes: Now is the time for all young men to come to the aid of their coun- try The army and Navy is calling them right now" s. L. FINLEY, mayor.-"As resi- dents of Flagstaff manifest their loy- alty. to the nation, let's not forget the devotion that is due this city from it's own people. One becomes a more useful citizen of the nation and a more ardent patriot, the more one does for his home city. This com munity has need of civic loyalties- men and women who can and will take up promotion work and public better ments, on their merits, without cavil and without factionalism."
 D. F. JOHNSON, state treasurer ''The banks of this state are not only teeming with treasure, but they are managed, on the whole, with admir- able soundness of judgment and sterl, ing integrity. All American banks are worthy of the confidence that the people repose in them"

JOHNSTON, secretary Board of Trade.-"Subserve your own best interests, as a resident of Flagstaff, and aid very worthy work by join ing the Board of Trade, an organiza- tion that constantly is striving, with zeal and intelligence, to promote the growth and the welfare of this com munity. Give in your membership and take an active part in the work of this body. It will rebound to your personal advantage and to the general benefit of the community"
 REV. G. P. KEELING, Federated church.--"It isn't always the man with scad of money who gets the most out of life. A sunny disposi- tion, happy frame of mind, kind ness here and there will bring more real enjoyment than anything that gold can buy. Start the day right by doing one good deed"
 o. H. RICHARDSON, Principal Public Schools.-"Financial resources of the United States are vast beyond conception. But in the schools and in the homes of the land are national assets far more precious than any that the banks or the hints hold-the children. Every dollar might be de- stroyed and yet the nation survive and prosper, in time. But strike down or vitiate childhood, and decay of the nation will be unacceptable"
 CHAS. PROCHNOW, Commercial Hotel.-"Our hundreds of tourists cannot take Flagstaff's climate away with them, and many of them will re- turn here year after year, to revel in what they cannot have at home, clim- atically speaking"
