hardest place in the world 10 md
 sharp axe was on the average ranch.
 The ranch furnished all the proof he .needed-but back in the same hard
 ware department we accumulated axe handles. hoe handles. shovel handles, everything needed to refute . his statement the next time he comes visiting.
 i It is true thar we ranchers do get along with poor tools about hald the
 timc--and lose or waste about half
 our tinG doing it. Let us visit the
 hardware man and see how much
 easier we can do two mems work in
 one mans time.
 ! And while we are saving time
 there is something else that we can ] be planning to save Perhaps many think Of a savings bank as something ] ia a distant city to which spare money is sent by mail or express l from time to time Here at home the iYavapai Savings Bank can do for us : all that distant bank can do and we
 shall be dealing with friends and
 neighbors instead of strangers. We
 can ask all the questions we want to tand have them answered face to face, and perhaps add 10 the regular say
 ing just because of this personal ele- lment of understanding
 This is season of building in town and country: ont on the ranches we need hay sheds, fences, barn room poultry houses. as well as additions
 to the home. The Head Lumber Company know fine needs of Yavapai county by many years of experience and here everyone from the ranch man wanting to build big hay barn for his new crop of alfalfa to the
 housekeeper needing paint for a kitchen floor can find the material in stock. Incidentally there is line of
 the best pouitry fencing ever that should attract all of Us poultry fan ciers.
 With our biggest yearly holiday so near everybody is thinking of new clothes and the windows are full of them. For once men are not put off with dull colors and plain patterns .as anyone looking at the new shirts and ties and belonging of all sorts in
 Oscar w. Bruchmans store for men e will ind. It is a temptation to ladies to raid the display cases and con6S- cate some of the shirts for shirt waists. as no doubt many of the ties will be for outing use. Hats. shoes,
 suits surely our Frontier Days
 crowds will be well-dressed and happy if they respond to the appeal of these attractive windows
 If a man cannot have a new suit or nat he can have his old one cleaned and pressed by the Star Cleaner,B.
 Wise, until it will look like new. Country women will find this a good place to take their suits and auto clothes to he freshened up.
 There is going to, be some walk in" ahead of Us if we see all that is going on Frontier Days and the wise cnes will be ready ahead of time with a pair of the comfortable and pretty shoes that Tribby makes a speciality Of.
 Just now cameras are as common as guns on the roads of Yavapai- and guns are as common as cameras since bunny rabbit is about ripe and dove season at hand. Years ago the writer fell neir to a historic camera brought into Arizona by the Wheeler expedition of scientists, one of the first dry plate canieras made. Long before the kodak was in vogue she was shooting the beauty spots of Iavapai with this queer old unwield- ly tripod camera. Then came a ko- dak-and then Tom Bate Tom was q very young artist then but there was the same witchcraft in his fingers which has since made him the leading artist of Arizona.
 But then. as now. Tom was cheer fully ready to help out the lesser art st and many of Us owe our best pie lures to his careful developing and artistic printing Today he is just as considerate of the 'kodaker" as in those early days and a film trusted 10 his hands not only gets the ev- oerience Of an expert but is handled 5y the most up-to-date methods and machinery that have been developed Much is to be said of the studio which he has built up, in which we an see the best of Northern Arizona tt a glance, but the camera used who s seeking place in which to have lis own best shots made 10 yield heir finest result will be rhightily in crested in the work rooms back of he interesting art gallery. The cor Iial welcome is the best thing about he place, too.
