WHY FLAGSTAFF CAN NOT LOSE

Flagstaff is the financial center of the whole north.
 It has more money per capita than any other city of it's size in the whole Southwest.
 It's interests are so diversified that no one industry can bring about depression. Only na- tion-wide depression can affect Flagstaff then only temporarily. Unlike mining towns, it ity. There is lumbering, stock raising, and ranching as main industries along with many other smaller industries. The climate and sur rounding scenery can not be surpassed by any thing in the world.
 There is every reason why Flagstaff is bound to grow rapidly.
 An investor in Flagstaff can not lose.

About the dearest method of reducing the high cost of living was explained back in '98 by Ezra Kendall the comedian, in speaking of the new short blankets issued the army during the first days of the war; Ezra was over six feet long, and he explained how to use them. You take the blanket and lay it on the ground, all spread out then lie down on it and go to sleep when you get to sleep, take the blanket out from under you and put it over you"

A ONE-SIDED CAMPAIGN

You believe in fair play, don't you? Then, what do you think of the proponents of the league of nations having special train for the president and his crowd of assistants to tour the country at the governments expense while the opponents of the league must pay their own ex- penses? What do you think of the government publications used as league advocates, while doc uments opposing the league must be published at private expense? Is that square deal in dissemination of argument?

It looks like it would be patriotic thing to take all of Flagstaff into the city limits this year in order that the city be given credit for it's ac- tual population rather than just that part within the old limits. We do not believe in doing as Los Angeles is doing-taking in all of Southern California-to increase the population of the "cty"; but it is only fair to take in all that is actually part of the city though not counted.

It is rather amusing to hear the Democratic brethren howl at the Republican Congress for delaying the high cost of living. They seem to think the Republicans should be smart enough to undo in six months all the tangles they have made during the past six years.

The most wonderful thing about it is
the fact that whilst it turns the dull

According to information here the

eral Pershing was able to lay ont his
campaign with great freedom, and ii
is believed that a result was to cut
the cost of the American advance
practically in half.
The German officers later surren-
dered themselves to the American
forces. Certain OF their former asso-
ciates had become suspicious, how
ever. and are believed to have band

Utmost precautions were taken even
within the allied lines TO protect the
informants but as officials believed
that as long as they We're kept in
