WORDS OF WISE MEN

In strong mind fear grows
up into cautious sagacity, grief

What we do not believe Is Of

greatness of our trouble. but the
littleness Of our spirit, that
makes us complain.

SEARCHING HERE
 FUR MISSING SUN

W. B. Lucas is being sought in Phoenix by his father. J. L. Lucas of Colfax, Louisiana. The young man, who is 22 years of age, five feet tall, with red complexion and sandy hair, blue eyes, and weighs 160 pounds, was last heard from in this city August g. Since that time no word has been learned of him and his sister came to Phoenix in an attempt to locate him, but in vain.
 The father has appealed to the Woodmen of the World to assist him in finding the son. In a letter from the Colfax, La, camp to the Phoenix camp it is stated that in the last letter written by w. D. Lucas to his father he said he was suffering with an af- fliction in one of his legs. It is thought therefore, that possibly the son is in a hospital.
 The local Woodmen of the World camp is endeavoring to give publicity to the matter in an effort to find the son if possible.

 There is no place in the east that is not afflicted with labor troubles, :" said MT. Carter. That is one reason why there is a shortage of merchan- disc because the men are on strike and the manufacturers cannot get fuli production There is no scarcity of the raw materials.
 The cost of living in every town l visited in the east is higher than it is in Phoenix" declared MT. Carter. Heretofore, I nave always found prices on many necessities, rents, etc, lower in the east than in this city, but this has all changed.
