MISSOURI REQUIRES
SHOWING BUT PROOF
IS AVAILABLE HERE

The states of Arizona and Missouri
are ably contrasted and Missouri
comes out second best, in Il letter re-
Gently received from Miss Ruth Yates,
a graduate OF the Phoenix High School
and the Tempe Normal school, who IS
now teaching school at Sedalia, Mo.
Miss Yates compares the two states il
this form:
Phoenix versus Sedalia:
Arizona versus Missouri.
'F'irst-Arizona has woman suffrage.
Missouri has not.
Second-Arizona is dry. Missouri
believes in local option. Sedalia is wet.
''Third-AriZona has labor laws
which protect her women and children
men too. Missouri has few-those
are typical of the medieval state.
"Fourth-AriZona has an educational
system, schools of which she can boast
and pays her teachers a decent wage.
Missouri schools are a disgrace to the
United States. Her teachers are I'M
derpaid. Bryan said to a Sedalia audi
ence, Missouri is black spot on the
map He said mouthful He re-
ferred to the matter of education and
booze.
''Fffth-Arizona is new, aspiring.
progressive. Missouri is old. the town
of Seda:ia is old. the houses are old
fashioned and inconvenient. The ideas
and ideals are SO old they are stale.
and worse, the people seem to be
satisfied-nothing remains to be done
they sit down and fold their hands and
thank the Lord for Sedalia. Just one
glimpse of a desert state ought to
bring them to their senses. 1t may
be, however, that they are so stepped
in it all that it would be hard to tear
loose.
"Sixth-The high school here con-
d. sists of one building and a coal house.
/ The rooms are heated by coal stoves
some pupils freezing and some burn
ing up. Grammar schools are the
same And with it all they think We
are the state-those people out west
away out in Arizona. are a rough and
uncultured bunch Why, a man ac-
tually said to me here: They don't
+ have much law out there | guess. ="
And one respectable person guessed
that motion pictures hadn't got thai
far west YETI Well, if they didn't gee
set straight with the world it wash t
me. 1t makes me so mad the way
these people think of Arizona. If they
| could see Prescott, for instance: il
they could see the desert. yes, even
that with the giant cacti daring us to
approach; if they could once feel the
freedom from the restraint of con-
ventionalities which the great outdoor
west gives: if they could do this, I
say, they never. never would live in
this state-not as long as Arizona was
on the map
The letter concludes with a pos:
script by Joe Yates, a former paper
boy on the delivery staff of the Arizona
Republican, as follows:
Why, Arizona even has the power
to make men out of Missourians,
Missouri makes nothing out o.
something, but Arizona could make
something out of nothing.
They tell me that Santa Fe is the
oldest town in the United States: bui
. you can't fool me after living in Sc
+ dalia. AS for me, l never got mucl

would be more welcome than artistic
homo furniture. We saw dream of a
breakfast set-ivory upholstered in
blue tapestry-a really lovly thing in
workmanship and design. Then we
noted a William and Mary dining room
set of walnut with hard wood finish.
There was the handsome dining table,
the smart chairs with cane backs and
dull blue leather, the clever serving
table, distinctive looking buffet and
roomy china closet. The beautiful Sc
lections coming from Doris Hyman
Furniture company are sure to please.
HERE'S the Phoenix Bakery with its
assortment of breads, rolls, cakes and
pies to help out the housewife during
her busy shopping season. Many an
hour is saved for holiday preparation
by the suspension of home baking and
substituting from the down town shop
that really is an improvement over the
home variety The Phoenix Bakery

ARIZONA BOYS WIN
BELGIAN CROSSES

Three Arizona boys. all officers in

are tremendously in luck that the Bos-
ton Store has such a wonderful Stock
having bought with the view of receiv-
ing specials just for the holiday trade
lovely ready to wear frocks, and frills
and furbelows and at reduced prices,
too. There's a sacrifice sale of dresses
now on and the sale really isn't limited
to frocks but covers. suits, coats, dainty
blouses and captivating silk underwear.
There are still fascinating Pohlson gifts
to be had and Christmas is expressed in
thousand and one novelties as well as
at the glove counter. the handkerchief
department and that devoted to silk
hosiery. Ivory-in all wanted toilet
accessories. perfumes beads, purses are
among other gift suggestions to be found
at the Boston Store.
NOW that the ban on building has
been lifted-bungalows. smart town
houses, hotels and apartments will lit
orally spring up over night. There is
bound to be an immense amount of
building here, the influx of strangers
making it necessity. In building. of
course. one of the leading features is
the finishiugs especially the bath room
which should have the best sanitary
arrangements possible. A tile floor with
tiles to suit YOUR particular fancy which
could also be reflected in the wainscot

have once you have given it serious

this season you may wish TO have your

We suggest you see Vernon Clark who is
established at AS West Monroe street.
THE useful gift for the man or woman

homes using the Johns Manville tran
site asbestos shingles which are almost
indestructible and lend themselves to

MOST of the titles to lands in the Salt !
Av4 crnad of han

MOST of the titles to lands in the Salt
A'A River Valley are good. All of them
We're good at the time the patent was
issued by the United States, but as they
are transferred from one owner to an
other they may become encountered
with mortgages, liens, suits and judg-
ments; possibly some one of the owners
die and probate proceedings become
necessary; at other times taxes he
come delinquent in some cases there
are erroneous descriptions, or perhaps
a husband or wife fails TO poin in the
deed all or any of which matters may
cloud or even invalidate the title. and
many times the owner is not aware
that such a flaw exists until he comes
to sell or mortgage the property Then.
when he is in hurry he finds that he
is delayed while the lien is being salts
fled or the flaw corrected.
! A few points as to titles are we'll to
remember:
! /. Never buy real estate without an
abstract or a guaranteed title policy
/ You have the right to ask it and if the
party selling to you does not furnish it.
it will cost you what he should have
paid when you come to sell.
q An abstract does not protect YOU.
and most people have to pay an attor-
ney to examine the Abstract and give
his opinion as to the title.
8. Anyone can issue an abstract, but
it is only as good as the party issuing
it is responsible.
4. A guaranteed title is one pre-
pared by a title company, examined by
their attorneys and guaranteed by them
1t protects you, saves you all worry and
you have no attorneys fees to pay,
D. The State law, requires "a deposit
of s50,000.00 to be placed with the State
Treasurer before company can issue
Title Insurance. No bond being re-
CURED in case of an abstract, it is easy,
therefore, to see which is the safer.
The Phoenix Title and Trust COM
pany have every facility for handling
escrows where property is being sold,
mortgaged or traded, and can attend
to drawing all papers and looking after
! the interests of all parties concerned
For several years they have been re-
writing their entire set of Abstrac Ct
Books in ZOOS leaf form and have great
ly simplified the handling of all com
pick titles, which is a great advantage
: in both speed and accuracy. The Phoe-
nix Title and Trust company is located
in its own building at 100 West Adams
street. 1t is the oldest, largest and best
equipped Title company in Arizona. II
issues both abstracts and guaranteed
title policies.

LOCAL YOUTH MAKES
EVv|AbLE MARK As
RIFLE INSTRUCTOR

Lieutenant William Work, son of
William Work of this city has made
an enyiable record since he entered
the military service last July. He went
from Phoenix to the Preside, San
Francisco, and >was soon thereafter
sent to Camp Perry, Ohio, for in
struction in musketry. Though he had
given little attention to rifle practice
he quickly became proficient and out
of 400 candidates in that famous rifle
training camp, he stood tenth.
He was given a commission and sent
to Roswell, New Mexico, as instructor.
The Roswell News, describing his work
there recently said:
Yesterday at the conclusion of the
regular Sunday afternoon battalion
parade, New Mexico Military Institute,
Lieutenant Work, L. S A, instructor
of rifle firing presented a number of
medals to cadets who held top scores.
During the first half of the session a
great deal of work has been done on
the rifle range. Lieutenant Work has
devoted his entire time to this branch
of the military service at the school,
Following a description of the dis
tribution of the medals, the News con-
tinues: 1.-THE work on the rifle range
has been most excellent and to Lieu
tenant Work of the regular army, who
has conducted this practice, is due
great credit. He is considered by the
Institute authorities a most efficient
young officer and one who takes hold
of his work with a determination tt
succeed
Lieutenant Work is not yet twenty
years CT age. He was graduated from
the Phoenix High School in the class
of 1916. The war interrupted the
career he had marked out for himself
but now that it is over he will resume
it. He is awaiting his discharge whei
he viii return to Phoenix and then en-
ter Occidental College, Los Angeles, ii

WITH the holiday season bringing
the home thought to your mind
you will wonder if you have properly
protected the home for your little fam
lily. If you have not had it insured you
have not done the right thing by those
who depend upon you and should at
tend to it at once. The Arizona Fire
Insurance company is a home concern
conducted by local people of proven
efficiency. In addition to the fact that
every patriotic citizen likes to see
money kept at home, he realizes it is
for his own best interests to insure
with this company because of its quick
adjustments. The increase of business
demonstrates the satisfaction that the
company has given here-talle for in
stance-cotton. In a short time the
insurance company tripled its policies
on cotton-then quadrupled its business
and it's safe to wager it has written up
ten times the amount of cotton it did
year ago. A policy may be obtained
through any agents in Phoenix.
