vided a system OF hard-surfaced roads

Quick hauling OF merchandise and
produce by truck to Richmond for

plan. Mr.. Robinson, former secre-
tary of the Dixie Highway Associa-
ton. maintains that the use OF motor

the railroads could render in the lace
of the present freight congestion.
Trucks Could Operate 100 Miles.

kinds TO Richmond from within a

MAKE YOURSELF AT

MT. Holdman, one of the biggest ce- ment men of the east who calls Penn sylvania his home state, has made all preparations for building himself a summer home at Mormon Lake and has material on the ground. MT. Hold man was one of the famous Dollar" men during the two years of the past strenousness with Germany and edu- cated many people in the use and man. ufacture of that commodity from coast to coast. Not the least of the things he sacrificed for the good of the cause was his voice, though his whispered words of wisdom may yet be heard for many miles around. Mir. Holdman humorously advises his friends that he lost his voice trying to convince his democratic friends of the error of their ways and is confident that he sacri- feed it in a good cause. MT. Holdman has been in Arizona for several months and has concluded that all the thingi his native state of Pennsylvania laekA Arizona has in great quantities, con- sequently has adopted Arizona and wants to add Pennsylvania to it. Chi cago friends of his will come on to help him enjoy the many advantages of his summer home at Mormon Lake. Somehow or another, big men, taking them from any angle you wish to de- scribe them, drift to Arizona sooner or later, and become part of our great big "bigness," where quality always counts as against quantity.

"NEvvY" SMITH HOME AGAIN

Henry w. Smith, of Detroit, is visit ing old friends in Flagstaff This lit- tie item would not mean much to old timers here if it were not mentioned that the aforesaid Smith is the same "Nevvy" Smith, who spent several years of his young life here some fif- teen years or more ago, where he was employed by Rabbit Brothers and in the Forest Service. He went back to Cincinnati with his wife, but short time afterwards moved to Detroit, Michigan, where they have made their home and prospered. During the war "Nevvy" did his bit in handling civil ian end of things for the Henry Ford plant, though he offered to give up his pension drawn for injuries receiv- ed in the naval service some years be- fore coming to Flagstaff. "Nevvy" says looking at the old San Francisco Peaks is like looking at an old sweet heart again and if things go right he hopes to again become a worshiper there in the foothills. When he left Flagstaff he took away with him about 120 pounds, but is now fully up to 190 pounds-all Smith.

It is entitled "Everywoman"-an all-star cast, with Wanda Hawley, Violet fleming, Mildred Reardon, Bebe Dan iels, Theodore Roberts, James Neill and Raymond Hatton among them.
 Future pictures in this great series are: "Huckleberry Finn" Copper head" con With the Dance" "Why Change Your Wife?" "The Prince Chap"
 MT. Costigan is letting reserved seats go for only 50 cents each. The combination of high-class production and low prices should fill the Orpheum from orchestra rail to doors whenever one of the above superb pictures is scheduled.
