 MT. Colvin is a Yade man who has specialized for years in economies, with extension of his studies into the eoun- tries of Europe and the Orient. Be cause of this bent he is especially interested in the field of the Arizona Magazine, a publication that always has covered the industrial and eco homie features of the development Of the southwest. He hopes to make the magazine something Of value in all southw estern development. with rather q wider scope than that of mere ad- vertisnent In line with this, he will make the April issue one especially devoted to the ideas of the League Of the Southwest, which now is looking espe cially toward the development Of irrigation and power on the Colorado river, undoubtedly the biggest economic idea at present before the American people.
 The magazine also will have it's de- partments of Arizona history and liter ature, with southwestern stories. mar ratives Of adventure. poems. etc, with expectation of maintaining high plane of literary excellence-

 The first intimaticn that reacned MT Baumert of his having gone into the chicken trade was when his house phone rang while he was down town a week ago yesterday Mrs. Baumert answered the phone and a female voice inquired if MT. Baumert wanted to buy any chickens Mrs. Earmert was kept busy all that day answering calls from broiler owners, until Nr. Baumert came home when she demanded an expla- nation.
 Mir. Baumert was as much in the dark as his wife until the phone rang again. and the offer of more broilers was made. This time MT Baumert got at the root of the trouble located the "ad," and explained to MT. Baumert what had happened. Monday, however, at Gay- break. the telephone reported another chicken fancier on the job. The chicken advertisement, like Banquos ghost, re fused to be quiet, and it was not until Mir. Baumert with wrath in his eye went down town and killed the trouble some advertisement by having his tele-

One day near the close of what We be- iieved was at least a self-sustaining fair, an old man came up to me and called me by name. I had never seen him before. He looked like a substan- tial farmer. He " as plainly dressed and no one could have guessed him to be man of great wealth.
 ...And how's the fair going he asked: will it pay expenses this year. told him I thought that if the at : tendance kept up two days more we would come out ahead of the game. We were almost assured already of eX- penses.
 That's good, replied the old man;
 the way these fairs have been running they have been q heavy drag on us taxpayers; the fair commissions we've had before didn't seem to care cuss how much they cost. I'm glad that we've got commission at last that looks after things little
 Just then an acquaintance came up and the old man turned away. 1 was feeling pretty good towards and wanted to see more of him. As he was moving away I asked my friend if he knew him. Oh yes he replied: that's an old nut, John So-and- So; he's been an inmate of the poorhouse for the last twenty years,
 Others Can Say The Sane Thing
 Miss Iwanthe Best, young business woman who has been living in this city for the last 15 months. has figured out. that during that time she has spent 225 hours, or more than nine whole days in waiting for street cars. Miss Best declares that her figures are very lihPral and that no doubt the amount of time wasted would prove much greater if 1t were possible to check it up carefully each day, as she now proposes to do.
 Miss Best explained the other day she is obliged to ride the street cars at least four times a day, coming to work in the morning, going home for lunch at noon. returning to work and then going home again at the close of the day. In her count of the time she has spent waiting for street cars she allows only for those four trips day.
 Miss Best, after much study, has de- cided that coming downtown in the morning, and again in the afternoon, and going home al noon she has to wait on the average nine minutes each trip. Going home at night, she figures walt of only three minutes, as she does not wait for the Indian School car to come. but in her hurry takes the Brill and walks seven blocks if that car comes along first This would total half hour a day that Miss Best waits for a street car Figuring 30 days to the month, as she works six days a week and generally makes two trips to town on Sunday, and fifteen months. she has spent 225 hours, or nine days, in stand ing on street corners and waiting for cars.
 No matter how you time yourself to- try to catch a car you always have to- wait a while il Phoenix" said Miss Best. sIn all the time I have been here I have only caught car after but few moments wait five times. If I stay here through this year I shall certainly get motor car. as time is too valuable nowadays to waste on a very inefficient street car service
