LITTLE GASOLINE IS
 USED BY AIRPLANES

Washington-The New Yorker who wants to drive his car to Washington will do well to study his gasoline con sumption. If his motor car will not do better than twelve miles to a gallon he can travel more cheaply ill an airplane. That is fact disclosed by months experience of the air mail service, which has been keeping close tabe on the cost of running nine flying machines be- tween this city and New York.
 One of the air mail planes equipped with a HispanoSuiza motor of 150 horsepower has been making the trip regularly at a consumption of eight gallons of gasoline an hour. The aver age time of the entire trip from Wash ington to New York is about two and a half hours. Thus this plane has showed an average consumption of gasoline of twenty gallons per trip. With gas sell ing at 25 cents. this means an outlay of s.
 The motor car route between the two cities is about .250 miles. Tn order to consume as little gas as this economic airplane that the postoffice department has been using your car mus, gV least twelve and q half miles to the gal lon. If you are only getting ten miles to the gallon you will burn s625 worth of gas, while if you have a large and expensive car of certain types you will not get better than eight miles to the gallon, which will cost you S7.75 for gasoline.

PASTOR RAGSDALE
 TELLS OF RESURRECTION
Prophecies of the Reveator Go To Prove Teachings at
 Big Tent Meeting

The Millennium is a vital subject in the religious world today. It is bed of carlan security on which thousands of people are being put to sleep with the hope that if they fail of salvation now, during the millennium they will have another chance under more fav- orable conditions. Evangelist L. B. Ragsdale showed clearly that it was unsafe to put off the day of salvation to any future time, for today is the day of salvation. There will be righteous and wicked at the end of the world for Christ says let both grow together till the harvest the end of the world. The dead in Christ will be raised and the living righteous will be caught up with the Lord in the air when he comes the second time and they will reign with Christ thousand years. The wicked will call for the rocks and mountains to fall upon them, but they will be killed by the Spirit of the Lord and destroyed by the brightness of His coming.
 To show that the second coming of Christ effects the earth as well as the people, the speaker used the words of the prophet of Jeremiah, q beheld the earth and behold it was without form and void, l beheld and behold there was no men, and all the birds of the heav- ems were fled the fruitful place was a wilderness and all the cities thereof were broken down at the pres ence of the Lord and by His fierce anger With the earth made desolate and no one for him to deceive Satan is bound and has a thousand years to

as the dyanmo of the pathfinderS, told of the nationwide plans contemplated. He stated that the construction of the Bankhead highway was now assured and his belief that within 60 to 90 days the route from FL Paso to California would be determined.
 Tell of Progress
 State Engineer Maddox told Of the progress of the state good roads move ments and the endeaVor to construct a practical, permanent good roads syS- tenn connecting the various county seats and cooperating to the utmost with the federal government.
 Price of Pinal county, said that his county was feeling very happily at present, as both good roads and water, so long desired, now seemed assured. MT. Jones of the county highway com mission told of the recent good roads convention at Mineral Wells, Texas. and said that here in Maricopa county we were not only neutral. but below the snow line and above suspicion.
 C. H. Lester of Fl Paso said that 975 miles of national highway, by the CO., operation of nation, county and state. were now financed in the state of Texas.
 A. G. Bachelder then gave an ex- ceptionally practical and conservative talk on federal highway construction and referred to the fact that the pro- gressive party was the first national party to include a federal good roads plank in it's platform. and outlined the marvellous development of the good roads movement in the past 10 years.
 To Globe Today
 He referred to the support given good roads construction by the National Automobile association, and stated that 10 years ago we had but 100000 autos in America, and today have 6,000,000, and Illustrated how good roads in a community formed a genuine asset and was a great force in creating increased

wander over the broken surfaces of earth and see what desolations he has wrought. While the wicked dead are in their graves the saints will live and reign with Christ Q thousand years. At the end of this time there will be a res urrection of the wicked of all ages and Satan shall go out to deceive them to think they can overthrow the govern ment of God. This constitutes the loosing of Satan for a little season. Satan is not converted, for he goes back to his old work of deception.
 The resurrection of the righteous marks the opening of the thousand years, so the resurrection of the wicked marks the close, and the rest of the dead live not again until the thousand years are finished. MT. Ragsdale em- phasized the thought that at this time the city of God comes down from heav- en and the Saints return with Christ to the earth. This is the scene that John the Revelator describes when he said. And I John saw the holy city New Jerusalem coming down from God out of heaven"
 Deceived to believe that they car take the city of God. Satan marshals that vast host, and comes up around the city of God. and fire comes dewn from God out of heaven and destroys them.

coming to the garden spot of Arizona and wished them well on their tour of the state.
 Governor Campbell welcomed the party to the state and assured them of the states desire to advance to the ut most the good roads movement.
 Colonel Plowman expressed his de light at the wonders of Arizona and the marvellous development under the Roosevelt dam and briefly outlined the big constructive plans of the Bank head Highway association. Congress man Hayden followed and expressed his support of any plan which would bring about national highway construction in Ariznna and l 4 Rnnntrea infrnduced

land values. He called attention to the fact that good roads bond issues all over the country were steadily be- ing voted by the people with steadily increasing majorities, and advocated 8 method Of maintainance of good roads by expending the funds raised from automobile licenses for maintainance purposes.
 The meeting closed with talk by L. Heney of Globe, who heads the group of good roads boosters who will have charge of the Pathfinder party on lrs trip to Globe this morning for which point they leave at : o'clock, Iunching at the Roosevelt dam and returning to Phoenix to continue their trip west on April 2S.
