 AROUND BY MISS GRACE SPARKES GIVES COUN- TY VALUABLE PUBLIC ITY IN BOSTON HERALD.
(From Fridays Daiiy.l

 Boston Herald" visited Prescott some three years ago during the Northern Arizona Fair, few people realized the wonderful and influential friend that was made for the Mile High city and county. During hi, stay in Prescott Mir. Warren was shown about the county by Grace NJ. Sparkes,' secretary of the Chamber of Commerce and MT. and Mrs A. l.. Smith. So impressed was he with the beauties of Yavapai and the pro- grcssivcness of it's citizenship that Prescott and the county have receiv- ed column after column of valuable publicity which has cost nothing and which has resulted in many Boston, ians visiting this county
 In writing 10 the secretary. Mir. Warren sends copy of a recent editorial which appeared in the Bos- ton Herald. September 10th. To show the value of such publicity before Mir. Warren's letter and copy of the edi~ torial had reached the secretary. sew eral copies had been sent to Pres- colt by persons residing in Boston: one being sent to Dixon Fagerbere by one of the large fish importers of Boston. The editorial is follows:
 "In Yavapai If the guessing school boy who told his teacher thar Skagway was an island off the Scot tish coast were to try his wits on Yavapai, he would probably explain it as the latest universal language or a trading post in the Malay archi- pelago. In reality Yavapai is the county that takes up most of North ern Arizona. And the way that cat- tie and copper district pulls together has a lesson for many an older re- zion. As in California, so in the nearer Southwest, the county IS the working unit not only in so-called publicity but in unadvertised inter- ests. Except in population these counties compare with our New Eng land states. Each has county con sciousness that the average New Fng1ander never attains. If you ask a law-abiding Aburndale man which county he lives in he usually answers: I never thought of that, 1t must be Norfolk, or is it Middlesex" But in Prescott, Arizona-the Mile High city with whose Arcadian climate Gil- bert Parker fell in love ii you ask for the local board of trade, Fred Bowler or Doc Pardee leads you to the 'Yavapai County Chamber of Commerce. That county IS more than range or town or city, 1t knows itself as a whole and it measures its needs and ambitions not by city lots but by landscapes.
 When publicity offices work on a large scale, most of them see only the superlative. they put the accent on what they have bigger or better than any other place on the planet. Not so in Yavapai. Prescott has the Rough Riders monument and all the memories it records. but the city takes a warmer pride in its good schools and in its cleaned up 'Whis- key Row. As one detail of a new smelter-for all the United Verde country is in Yavapai-Jerome has chimney stack that rises 425 feet, but printed allusion to it never exceeds two lines of bare statement, and m all that region. where men talk ot copper output in millions of pounds the standing motto reads; No wild cts need apply
 "Teeming Massachusetts may not need such an organization in all her counties, but in everyone we could make real values grow had we more of Yavapai's public spirit and unparti- san teah-play."
 The motto adopted by the YavaPai County Chamber of Commerce as an- nounced in the first remarks of Presi- dent yiele when he accepted that of flee. No wildcats need apply has certainly travelled far and near. It has been sent throughout the col umns of the mining press by means of mining news articles written by p. R. Mines and is again comment ed upon in one of the greatest papers of the nation by Mir. Warren in the 1bove editorial.
