FIRST PRIZE LETTER

Dear Busy Ad. Man:
 There are so many reasons why you should continue your page for at least another ten weeks, that I hesitate to give them all, lest you become quite overwhelmed with their magnitude.
 When you think how much it will benefit others-even at the cost of beauty sleep. destroying solitary, Sunday midnight vigils sorting th3 answers, you will see in it even re- ward for yourself.
 Why listen. don't you know it will benefit the Arizona Republican" in at least three ways? First, non-sub- scribers will continue to buy copies of Mondays paper to take a chance on winning;" second, successful con- testants will buy extra copies to save or send to relatives and friends to show their name in print as it were, and third, other advertisers will want space in your unique and clever page because they know that in order 10 get people to read their ads, they must be presented in a pleasing and attractive manner.
 It will benefit the present advertis- CTS for no one can pore over a page as it is necessary to do in seeking the answers without getting the names and addresses firmly fixed in their mind. Personally, if I were going to buy piano, I wouldn't think of go- ing any place else but Kerr and Smalleys, Ford Hotel corner, because when I think of pianos, I immediately associate them with this firm, as the name and address has become so fa- miliar to me from constant reading. 1t is just the same with the other advertisements on this page. I bought the paper I am writing this on at Berryhills, because l had learned through your page it's location, and l felt a sort of friendliness toward them-like I'd known them a long while.
 It will benefit the Red Cross and maybe other organizations, because since one person has led the way bs offering her prize. thus others, not wishing to be outdone-or by reason of never having thought of it, will do the same.
 It will benefit the W. s. $. sales l for no conscientious man or woman i boy or girl would win a prize of this kind without buying a proper propor- | ton of thrift stamps as a matter oi patriotic duty.
 I've given you almost as many req sons as there are questions each week I'd like to convince you. but being a | man, I suppose you have fixed ideas 1 only wait a moment-besides the ] beneficial business side. there is an

Peoria, Wednesday.
 Dear Mir. Busy. Ad Man:
 We have been following the spirals of your brain twisters around till we feel like we know you. and we have enjoyed it-the whole family. Almost as good as a movie. which we are too far out to enjoy very often.
 I will tell you why we like the Ad Page from the standpoint of a "consumer." Let the advertiser tell you his side of it.
 My 10-year- son first became interested because he is always after tue dollar. He answered eight out of ten times and never handed in a wrong answer. but once. He drew one second prize which is laid by as a nest egg to hatch a new bicycle out of King Brothers shop. You see he reads the ads on that page to some purpose. The endeayor to win has been invaluable training to Ray mond. You have emphasized neat ness and correctness and-do you re- member when you were 10 years old how hard it was not to smudge ink on everything for yards around? The struggle for new ideas was mighty good brain work. Best of .all when Mondays paper comes and he

CAMP FUNSTON
 ZONE FURNISHES. !. FUN FUR TROOPS

CAMP FUNSTON, May l2.-Fo!low- ing the white lights in the gay night life at Camp Funston furnishes one continual round of amusement for the soldiers with snleage books or with money in their pockets. There is much of real hard work to do in the daytime that leaves no time for thought of lighter things, except athletics, in the minds of the men who are training to be part of the great army that is to compel victorius peace.
 With the routine of the days drilling and studying and other labor out of of the day, the soldier longs for di- version. and then is the time that he turns to the zone which has been constructed in the very center of the huge camp especially for his benefit and recreation.
 It is stated that the zone" at Camp Funston is more pretentious than that of any other cantonment in the country Thanks to General Wood, whose own idea of the zone" is, the district at Funston is complete, a regular city of white lights and amusements in itself. It is in complete charge of Captain Dick B. Foster, a former Kansas City architect.
 It requires some money to do the zone" and therefore ample prepara- tions has been made to accommodate the soldier who is without money or who does not desire to spend what he has. There are fourteen Y. M. C. A. | buildings and two Knights of Colum- l bus buildings in the camp. These are amply provided with everything to | quietly entertain or instruct the sol diers. There he may spend the even- 1 ing at music or with games of many | sorts: he may read and write There is no lack of patronage for these insti- 1 tutions, in fact they are filled every 1 night. Money doesn't last long with many soldiers, and they are broke soon after pay day and are compelled to turn to the '. NJ. C. A., and K. of C. ] for their diversion.
 Few Remain at Home
 The barracks find few soldiers in them after the duties Of the day are l put away. Many go to Army City which is located on one side of the | big enrichment. There are girl wait
 resses in abundance at Army City, ano
 sometimes the soldiers long for ths
 sight of a girl or chance to chin
 a little with one. There are also girls
 in the stores and shops of Army City
Arizona republican., 1918-05-13

actors have no easy task to entertain an audience of soldiers. Somehow. they have little use for them. but when a woman comes out she gets all the hands in the house. If she is pretty, it is all over. They will not stand for a big. healthy man out in front of the footlights reciting a poem about the glory due a soldier. Waving the flag will not put over an act at Camp Funston.
 Price Five Coupons
 The price Of 0 seat in the stock con- pany theater is five coupons. The same company stays at the theater, chang ing the bill weekly. The shows arc well presented and staged. Some of the bills that have appeared at Funs- ton are Stop Thief" Within the Law Seven Keys to Baldpate." Potash and PerlmlItter" The schedule at the zone" is regulated so that the sol dier can get back to the barracks in due time.
 The zone" is the idea of General Wood who is of the belief that healthy amusement is necessary to the proper development of a good soldier as resu : lar drilling, and that if a soldier can play well he can work equally well. The zone" is there to keep a soldier from getting lonesome and it is fill ing it's part well in the order of thingt at this greatest of cantonments.

Everything is decorous there. no fhrt- ing is allowed. and the military police keep a close watch over Army City. Some of the soldiers go to Junction City and Manhattan each night where there are plenty of things to divert the mind and eye. There are dances, entertainments and parties. all we'll regulated and wholesome.
 Of all the diversions at hand for the drill-weary and homesick soldier, none is so attractive nor draws in such numbers as the zone" There is the big night life of the cantonment, a sight for one who never has had the pleasure of seeing thousands of Uncle Sam's boys care free for the time and bent on passing happy hour or two.
 On the zone" they can get more for their moneys worth than at any other place. because it is all army regulated, price and service. There are seven eating houses which offer dishes not found on the regular company menu. Drinking stands offer every variety of soft drink. X most sur pr,sing fact is that it has been learned that all of the drinks on the zone, i milk is the most popular.
 Largest Barber Shop
 The "zone" at Camp Funston has the 1 distinction of possessing the largest | barber shop in the world, with more l than forty chairs. all of them busy all the time in the. evenings. There is a pool room and also a two-story pool room that is full of players every evening.
 Of theaters. there are three. a movie house, a vaudeville house and a stock company theater Here is where the man whose friends have been thought 1 fui enough to present him with a smileage book is the envied one. for the smileage book admits to any of the theaters, and they are running every night. And how the soldiers do laugh and shout their approval of the num- bers of the vaudeville bill and of the stock play. It is sight for civilians of smileage books are put in action every night at the zone
 Best Motion Pictures
 The moving pictures displayed are 1 of the highest grade, trust the in. | spectors to see to that. Three coupons from the smileage book entitle the sol dier to. view seven or eight reels oi the best. There are comedies anC news weeklies and all of tn best fea. lures made. Nothing is too good fol the soldier. Many of the news weeklie: at the movies show troops marching down city streets. or in other maneuv. 1 CTS that brings cheers and shouts ana waving of hats and handkerchief. | when shown in most any city. Btu here in the zone" where the soldier is at home, these kind of pictures art 1 watched in silence. Exception is mad. of pictures of President Wilson and O. the Red Cross workers.
 For a fair seat at the vaudeville theater four coupons are deta che( from the smileage book. Again ther, is d difference in the reception of thu
 bill from that of a regular city. Me

IDEA IS GREAT

Phoenix, St. Josephs Hospital,
 May :. 1918. MT. Busy Ad Man:
 1 am writing to tell you what l think of your Busy Ad Mans page" As an advertiser who has tried sev- eral different kinds of advertising. l think the idea is great. Your paper stated that you received several hun dred answers each week. This means that these ads are read and re-read many times by each contestant. This would be hard to accomplish by any other means. Were I an advertiser, I would gladly pay several times the original price for the same space with the contest I am stranger in Phoenix and know little or nothing of the downtown district. but many oi these advertisers and their addresses are firmly imbedded in my mind as well as other things. For instance one of your advertisers, J. T. Green for several weeks did not state wha, his business was, but I remembered both his old and.new address. I think it is very instructive for children Any contest is always very interest ing. One woman offered to donate any prize she might win to the Rec Cross is to be admired. I think the rest of the contestants will soon be 1T line. Any prizes that might be com ing my way you can consider already donated. It is a splendid idea. keep il up by all means.
 Yours very truly.
 BRADFORD PIERCE. P.S.-Please pardon the form. etc, O. this letter, but ! know you will ap. preciate it when I tell you I have tt lie on my back and not allowed tC i sit up.

RUMANIAN KINGS
ARREST ORDERED
BY BOLSHEVIKI
Lenine Signs Papers to I'M
prison Ferdinand in Petro-
grad Fortress

Petrograd, Jan. 16, (delayed) -
Premier Lenine to-day signed an or
der for the arrest of King Ferdi-
nand of Rumania, who is to be sent
to Petrograd for Imprisonment in
the fortress of st. Peter and st.
Paul.
The order for the kings arrest de-
scribes in detail theN way it is to be
carried out and the manner in which
tho king is to be guarded. The Boil
sheviki believe they have sufficient
forces on the Rumanian front to
carry it out.
lFor several weeks there has been
friction between Rumania and Rus
sia. The trouble originated with
the attempts to spread the propa-
ganda of the Bolshevi5i in Rumania.
1t was charged by the Rumanians
that Russian troops were guilty of
disorders.
Recently Rumanian troops sur
rounded and disarmed a Russian
regiment. The Bolsheviki govern
ment retaliated by arresting the Ru-
rianian minister IN Petrograd, al
though he was released on the de-
mand of the diplomatic corps. An
ultimatum was dispatched to Ru-
mania threatening the severest
measures if Russia's demands were
not complied with within twenty
four hours.

Highway Commissioner Puts
Out Statement Which He
Says Was Rather Mild

Highway Commissioner. j. Denny
oNeil, who last night announced that
he was "a Republican candidate for
governor" said to-day that his state
ment of last night was sufficient for
the time being.
I'm going back to Pittsburgh to-
night and i may say something at the
dinner to be given next week.

add to my statement until then.

mat statement, as 1T was so mild
Mr.. O'Neil's announcement was eX-
pected at the Capitol. although only
the day before at Lebanon he was
quoted as saying that he would pre-
for being highway commissioner to
being governor. There was notice
able activity among the friends of the
Commissioner to-day and a statement
by Governor Brumbaugh supporting
him is looked for.
In his statement Mr.. O'Neil makes
Senator Penrose and Senator Sproul
targets and says in part:
Under the very thin and foolish
guise of harmony. this hand picked
candidate is foisted upon the party.
There can be no harmony with Sproul
or any other Penrose-labeled candi-

that will enable you to do a COM

writes in Physical Culture. The
right kind of health should give you
the energy with which to perform
far more than a days work, If nee

standpoint. 1t is commonly the man
with an unlimited capacity for work
who gets on. He is able to work
long hours without firing. Success
full men invariably enjoy the pos
session of this degree of nervous en-
durance or working endurance.
But it is not this that is most i'm

is essential, not so much for the

of work, but on account of the quail
ity of work which it enables one to
perform. Quality of effort is more
important than quantity of work

Major With Pershing Gives
Good Advice to Those
Who Want to Help

A very pretty lady strolled in a
smoking car,

had gone far;

smiled and tossed her toque,
IT simply love to sit in where the
room is full of smoke!"

charming and thoroughly nice wo-
man passenger as the boys all pull
ed themselves up in the smoker.
But 1 know l will get a seat in here
and not man in that other car
vould oblige. You see l always
think that smoker is more polite
than man who does not" Thirty
one and that half seat up at the end
OF the car, every seat was vacant
in Jig time. And the Chicago lady
rode to her destination smiling in
an aura of good tobacco smoke.
We have no desire to get into an
argument with anybody about this.
Fact is fact. 1.-THE world do move
and it is spacious" So few persons
crs are more polite than nonsmok-
ers. maybe they are also more gen.
erous, for it appears that smokers
send more tobacco abroad to the
fighting boys than they who do not
indulge. At any rate, here is one
positive thing. Whether lady does

reason. Listen to the sage advice
of an old major with Pershing's eX-
pedition Ladies, if you want TO
help win the war, save lives and
lave husbands, then quit adopting
soldiers. Your letters and fol de
rolls clutter the mails and take the
soldiers mind off his work. They
might make him easy work for
