BUSINESS NOTES

With almost magic speed the retail
stores have got back to peace time"
basis, and the only real remainder of
the Christmas season Is the large num-
Der of gifts that are being returned
for credit or exchange.
While the wOmen's neckwear trade
has been quiet for some time better
things are expected with the turn of
the year Ono of the main reasons
why the manufacturers believe that the
spring season will be fair one is that
the type of dresses popular call for
the use of ucCkwcar.
Although buying of wOmens wear
for spring has been u cautious bust
ness so far, dress manufacturers eX-
pect to see an active demand with the
coming of the new year Indications
are now that dresses will be the pre-
tcrrcd garment for the spring.
The era Of eXtravagant buying which
the government is trying to bring to
on end, in order To take the high cost
ont of living. is bearing particularly
hard on the retail credit mau. Not that
it is making living any moro expensive
for him than any one else, but because
it adds considerably to the uncertain
ties Of his work.
The general trend in imported shoe
fashions continues to be toward low
shoes of complicated design. Some
high shoes are also being received in :
asmuch as the short skirt is expected
TO be popular in 1920.
Several prospective buyers are seek

OWN A HOME FOR
 YOUR CHILDREN'S SAKE

Ambitions may be realized in your children if you have the home environ ment which transmits to them the ann bition. The basis need is home and the sense of shelter and security which goes with ownership.
 If there were no other arguments worth while men would be more than justified in building and owning their own homes for the children's sake.
 Like father like son! The next gen. eration will not be a home-owning one if the present generation doesn't show the benefits of home owning and inculcate the home-owning ambition.
 If you are determined that John and Mary shall have fair show to make good on your ambitions for them, get them tucked away in a good home a home that is all yours, and theirs. It will become to them the very hub of the universe; very sacred spring of inspiration and a very tangible ex- ample of the prudence of thrift. If you would do your part toward mak- ing your children's future secure in a nation of home owners-build now.

DRIVE A NAIL

In every western city the demand for housing and new homes is grow ing with the influx of new residents. Stopping construction during war makes demand for building now im- perative.
 Millions of returning soldiers are es- tablishing new homes for themselves.
 Releasing railroads and public util- ities from public ownership will make enormous demands for lumber and steel.
 Successful termination of the League of Nations will give a great forward impulse to all activities and industries.
 With high prices TOT farm prod ucts and live stock, the amount of building that will be done by the agri- cultural population will be larger than for years.
 A building program is the keystone of prosperity in this nation now and until world conditions are again nor maj.

WITH THE BUILDERS AND CONTRACTORS
 A BUILDING BOOM HITS FLAGSTAFF
MORE AMERICANS SHOULD
 NOW OWN THEIR OWN HOMES

Somewhere in the heart of every man is the desire to be independent. Independence is the measure of one $ standing in the community.
 The first step along the road to in- dependence is to own one's home. The man who owns his own home is the respected, the trusted man in every community.
 One of the largest employers of la Der in the country ordered a canvass of his factories to determine what per- centage of his employees owned their own homes. At the same time he urged all employees in the establish ment to become home owners or home buyers.
 Sound logic prompted this action. The responsible man is the valuable employee. The home owner has q deeper sense of civic pride. He is es- tablished; he is responsible; he is in terested in everything that tends ot- ward the peace and security and up- building of the community.
 The example set by one manufac- turer will be followed by others. 1t will daily become more requisite to a mans securing responsible employ ment that he owns his own home.
 There is little excuse for a man not owning his own home. The great Liberty loans have instilled into the American people lessons of thrift that will endure through the coming days of peace. Every man can and should own his own home.
 There is no appeal from the man who seeks position that is treated so lightly, by private and public employ CT alike, as the appeal which comes from the man who has everything to gain and nothing to lose.
 The independent man always owns his own home-build yours now.

RELIC OF MAMMOTH IS
 FOUND IN MOHAVE COUNTY

While fossil hunting is considered one of the rare sports of scientists ii was not the hunting of the remains o. monster rhinocerous, dinosaurs, nor even the remains of pigmy prehis- toric animals that took Ora Gruninger Charles Bourquin, and Anson H. Smith into the Chemeheuvis valley last Sun day, but nevertheless they returned with the fossilized shoulder bones of mammoth.
 The fossil indicates that the species to which it belonged must have been of enormous size the ball which set in the shoulder socket being five inches in diameter The bones of the lower part of the leg are seven inches wide by five inches thick and the upper part eleven inches wide. Below the ball the bones are fifteen inches broad and six inches thick. This huge bone mass has been turned to stone, but it new ertheless shows the fossil marrow and the bone structure is perfect.
 in the gravel banks of the Chemeheu- wis valley is unknown. Scientists are of the opinion that these monster ami mals ranged the southern part of North America in pre-glacial days and the hunters of that time are supposed to have been the cause of their dis appearance. One of the largest of these great fossils has been recon structed for the Royal Museum at St. Petersburg, which measures sixteen feet four inches from the forehead to the extremity of the tail; it's height was nine feet four winches, and its tusks along the outer curve were nine feet and six inches. One in the Chica- go museum had still greater tusks the measurement being 12% feet and also larger approximately otherwise.
 Some time ago, when men were building the road from Oatman to To- pock, enormous head bones were found in the gravel hills, but no effort was made to discover other parts of the re- mains. The teeth still set in the jaws were three inches in diameter, and none of the jawbones had turned to stone. This specimen was sent to the Arizona state university.
 Harold J. Shepstone, in the English Worlds Work, says that enthusiastic IOSSll HuHtcTS nave uucdT dTIHcu uLdIuo that measured eighty feet and more in length and weighed tons. The larger of the monster remains have been un- covered in the Bad Lands of Montana. One of these was supposed to have been a flesh eating animal known as the Tyrannosaurus, a regular Hun in it's way, as it sought to destroy every animal that came in its way and to eat them. It was eighteen feet in it's height, standing erect, had talons that would hold an OK and double-edged dagger teeth from two to three inches long, set in mouth yard wide.
 Messrs. Gruninger, Bourquin and Smith intend to return to the valley soon and hunt for more of the mas sive remains. It is the impression that both the Chemeheuvis and Mohave valleys will yield up many important finds in the way of prehistoric relics.

AGENTS Defraud Owners.

Correspondence Associated Press.1
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, June IA
North American ship owners are plac-
ing themselves and North American
business concerns at a disadvantage
with their European competitors here
because their agents here are not
actually representative of United States
concerns, according to the American
Chamber of Commerce of Brazil.
This body recently appointed a COM
mittee under the Craftsmanship of Act
ing Consul General Hasskarl to in
vestigate the shipping situation as it
affects North American business. The
committee reported that by leaving to
the discretion of ship captains the sell
ection Of agents, North American own
ers have been heavily overcharged for
repairs anc otner necessities III this
port and that eventually this expen-
diture falls on the shipper.
1t is declared by the chamber that
this condition is a vital weakness in
the foreign trade development Of the
United States. AS a remedy the re-
commentator Is made that North Am
erican vessel owners either establish
their own agencies or authorize the
United States consul general to re-
commend agents, not only in Brazil
but IN all South American countries.
