two weeks" said Z. N. Lawrence.
The fact that the supplies Of cold

extra cold weather in the east kept
hens from laying has boosted prices
for fresh eggs to a high point the past

Of the real estate market in FL Paso.
I made the prediction that the early
part OF 1915 would witness greater
activity in real estate, with higher
prices prevailing. and now that Mr..
McAdoo has called halt in the build
ing Of any more homes till after the
war. it goes without saying that the
houses already built will be worth
more money. on account OF the high
cost Of building material. It naturally
follows that now Is the best time to
buy improved real estate before the
prices are again advanced. A word to
the wise IS not only sufficient. but IN

to the expedient Of drafting city commission, for
Tucson is under the commission form government The
eonscripted Col Epes Randolph Fred Ronstadt
and Leo Goldschmidt all whose prominence reaches
beyond the city limits and whose capacity is considerably
above the variety Of city official 1t is gratifying
to note that of the three has made claim for

It is invariably true that of wealth and large

pens be denied, however that the wide expert
and the moral and mental steadiness which Of
their kind usually acquire be of very great benefit to
the public applied to government.
No doubt the city administration Of Tucson will show
the effect of the direction which these very high class
can give. Drafting of them for county and
state offices might be of giving Arizona better
government than the politicians who ordinarily fill state
