The trouble with rolling stone isn't its lack of a
messy garment, but its lack of CONSCIOUS DIREC-
TON.
No rolling stone ever slides down the shmmery rain
bow path plumb into the creek of gold In fact no roll
ing stone ever gets ANYWHERE! 1t only bumps aim
essy downward, the slave of an external force-graM
taton. DON'T be rolling stone There's plenty of
at the top And the TOP is just where the rolling
stone never arrives. YOU are wanted at the top.
Mr. Citizen, Mr.. Worker YOUR job is to
STICK to your joD-to climb to the highest
place in it you can fill. And the rungs of the
ladder you must climb are HERE, in your
HOME TOWN, in the organization of which
you have long been part, among the fellow
workers with whom you have so long asso-
ciated.
Don't fall for the lure of the SOMEWHERE ELSE.
Don't chase will O. the wisp Edorado in far away
promised land There no better pay in any other city
than in our own city-YOUR city,
Herein your own home towns your Edorado
HERE and NOW is your rainbow gold This is your city
of opportunity. This is the town that has thousand
fortunes. Let it make yours!
Life and work are much the same the country over
The only difference, so far WE concerned, be
tween Farmont and any other city, is that here is OUR
home, and here are OUR friends.
Any man who can make good elsewhere can make
good all the surely here among his lifelong pals
where the foundations of his have already been
laid
In his own home town any loyal, Woodworking citi-
zen master of his future his prosperity is certain
But the victim of Wanderlust is ever the serf of Un
certainty He who follows at the beck and call of the
Far Away, only winds up far and away from his own
best interests He is pulledke the rolling stone-by
blind force outside himself And he lands in the end
ike the rolling stone in some forlon hollow far lower
down the slopes of Mt Prosperity than the point from
which he started!
Don't let even your thoughts be the slaves of wander
lust Keep them firstly here at home intent your own
city's welfare.
And stick in person to your city.
Grow with your city.
Prosper with Fairmont.

BURNING AWNINGS
 ATTRACT CROWDS

Fire of unknown origin but pre- sumably caused by lighted cigarette thrown from the top floor of the Good rich building played havoc with the awnings of that building yesterday afternoon.
 An awning on the third floor was the first to catch on fire. It burned for some time before it was discovered. Burning canvas fell on the awnings below including the large street avn ing of the Central Drug company, set ting them on fire. The large awning was covered with burning spots for a radius of 20 feet.
 The fire department was called stretched ladders to the cornice above the street awning and proceeded tc put out the fire and give bystanders bath with chemicals at the same time. In the meantime excited office holders and visitors were leaning out of windows and throwing water down on the burning canvas. After consid- erable difficulty, the greater portior of the canvas was saved. A large crowd gathered to watch the efforts of the fire fighters and the antics of those above.

BIDS
 ALL REJECTED

Four bids, all that were presented to the county highway commission yes terday to be used in the construction of the proposed S4,000,000 system of highways in Maricopa county, were re- jected and the bids mailed back to various bidders.
 Of the four bids, one was from local concern, but it's bid was likewise rejected. Following are the bids which were opened at o'clock yesterday afternoon:
 Diamond Portland Cement company of Phoenix, $2.70 per barrel.
 Riverside Portland Cement company, S3.20 per barrel.
 Southwest Portland Cement com pany s3.25 per barrel. ! California Portland Cement company bid made but no price stated.
 The bid of the Southwest Portland ' Cement company provided for a re- duction of five cents a barrel for cash, which made the bid $3.20, the same as that of the Riverside Portland Ce ment company.
 "The bids of the cement men which were rejected today" said member of the county highway commission yesterday after the meeting, bears out the contention of the highway com mission that by manufacturing theil own cement a saving of approximately SIPS per barrel can be made, accord ing to the Duryea and Jewett reports
 The Duryea report gave the esti- mated cost of manufacturing cement here at $1.S2 per barrel, and the Jewett report at $2.01 per barrel each in 100( barrel lots.
 The county highway commission will meet again Monday to resume con. sideration of the cement question.

PLAN MEXICAN MOTHERS CLUB
 AS STEP IN INTERPRETATION

Today is Americanization day and according to plans of civic, state and national organizations, will mark the beginning of a new era of enlighten ment for the newcomer who desires to identify himself witA the spirit and principles upon which the government of the United States is founded.
 The organization of a mothers club of Mexican women will be one of the outstanding features of the week in connection with the Americanization movement. Miss c. G. Gilchrist, gen eral secretary of the Associated Charities and Mrs. F. c. Green, regis trar, are directing the formation of the club and will guide it's general activi- ties. These women have been identi- fled with Mexican welfare work for many years and are unusually well qualified to carry on the work of Americanizing the immigrants from the south.
 SpaniSh-American mothers will be invited to attend weekly meetings of the club at rooms which are being prepared for them in the building oc- cupied by the Associated Charities. There is a furnished kitchen in con- nection with the rooms and those at tending the meetings will be instructed in the fundamental principles of do- nestle science. Tempting delicacies prepared in conjunction with the les sons will be served to the women.
 A large. well lighted room has been set apart for children who will be placed under the care of. Mrs. c. P Cronin. While the mothers are learn ing the ways of the American house. wife, Mrs. Cron:n will be explaining to the younger generation the won derful fairylike story of the birtf and growth of the wonderful nation in which they are dwelling.
 Toys and story books will be pro- vided for the children and after their lesson, they will he given an oppor- tunity to romp and play in the spac ious room to their hearts content. Educational programs will be ar. ranged for the mothers in addition tc

the course of instruction in household economies. An appeal is being made for volunteers to assist in preparing these programs.
 We can only lay out a temporary program" Miss Gilchrist explained. "as we must work from the Mexican view point. In order to get the best results it is necessary for us to study the wants of the club membership and adapt our programs to them rather than attempting to force our own ideas upon these women"
 Miss Gilchrist regards the Mexican as very apt pupil of American citiz- enship if approached and directed in the right way.
 Tt is hard for them to change their customs and manner of thinking" she said, but once their confidence is gained and they become convinced that they can better themselves by adopt ing the methods of Americans, they are quick to adapt themselves to the new ideas. I have known Mexicans who could not speak one word of English, eagerly defend the principles of Americanism against attacks by those of their own race"
 In addition to the weekly meetings of the Mexican mothers and the SUD- elementary day nursery, club for Mexican young people is planned. Un- der the present arrangements, this club will open about the first of No vember. The Y. W. c. A. will furnish entertainers for this club two nights each week. Novel social features are being planned and members of the club will be invited to make sugges- tions toward it's development and bet terment.
 An Americanization course has alsc been planned in conjunction with the Parent Teachers association and Miss Gilchrist is scheduled to address that body on patriotic subjects.
 A committee of Phoenix workers looking toward the rapid advance ment of the Americanization move ment will meet in the office of Super intendent Loper of the. public schools : next Thursday night.

ATTORNEY ASKS HE[PFOR YOUNG
 WOMAN IN JAIL

The case of Miss Dorothy Marie Berry, the 23-year- young woman now in the county jail in this city under a warrant charging her with passing fictitious checks, is a most un> fortunate one" declared W. T. Sprowls, counsel for the girl. yesterday. Tt is a most unfortunate situation for a young girl to be placed in, and after long interview with her I am of the opinion that the girl means no harm by issuing the cheeks, but that she believed she had the money in a banA at Nogales to pay them.
 Since June l" Mir. Sprowls added, the girl had an account with her bank at Nogales and had at different times deposited money and issued cheeks against the account She says that she loaned an army officer, who was in trouble with the mess fund of his company. $500 and that while she was here in Phoenix, just before she issued the checks for which she is ac- cused, she received a letter from this army officer stating that he had de- posited $500 to her credit in the bank with which she did business at No- gales, and having confidence in him, -girl-like, she believed that the money was there and that her checks were good. Upon her return to the southern part of the state she found that she had been deceived and that the money had not been placed there and that she had drawn more checks than she had money to pay, and i'm nediately set about to make the checks good, and in fact did pay the money 10 an officer who released her. but a eTV ard ,-ofa
 and re-arrested her.
 The girl was born at Pough- keepsie, New York, 23 years ago. and her mother died when she was about years old and her father died when she was IS. During last winter. while at her home she contracted influenza and when she was sufficiently re- covered to travel, her physician ad vised her to go to a high, dry climate. thereby lessening her dangers to tu- oerculosis and that. is why she is in Arizona In company with her aunt. vho IS now somewhere in California. but whose residence is unknown to the glri, she spent part of her time in Phoenix. part in Tucson, Douglas and Bisoee, living good deal of the time m open air. She is a nice. refined sirl and appears to be in very poor health.
 Sheriff Montgomery has her as comfortably situated as is possible in the jail and she is attended by a matron, but I am afraid that if she remains there the dreaded disease vii, lay hold upon her. She says that as soon as she can get out she will ge, money from her friends and take ur these checks. amounting to less than Sloo' and that she wants to go to a business college as soon as she i, strong enough, then get a position ST that she can earn her own living ana not be a charge upon her aunt a, anyone else. In my judgment, this is : case worthy of the attention of tht pest women of the community"

Rumors of the approaching marriage of wellknown Phoenix young woman and recently returned soldier equally well known and popular, are of much interest to the many friends of these young people.
