THE DRIFT FROM THE FARM

Tho percentage OF our people en-
pioyed IN agriculture fell from 49, in
1870 20 $50 in 1910. Figures for 1920
are not available. but they will probably
Indicate q falling of as great as IN
any other ten years since 1870. The fact
IS We have been building up cities and
towns all over tho United States. In
every state are found thousands of
abandoned farms-farms that have been
given up because the owners were I'M
able TO live upon them in comfort West
Virginia thirty years ago grew more
food than we consumed. We sent many
thousand head OF fine cattle 10 the east
ern markets every year. Our wool pro-
duction was very large, and We import
ed for food purposes only a compare
lively few tropical fruits.
Today West Virginia is importing
flour. cattle feed. meats. milk, vege-
tables and practically every other thing
upon which the people live. What Is
true OF West Virginia is true OF many
other states. Farming has fallen INTO
decay. while the mills and mines have
attracted large numbers Of farmers and
farm hands. This tendency cannot con-
tjnue much longer without serious dan
ser. IL We have not already reached the
danger point. II this great country. with

other people, the shortage of foodstutrs

easy to offer cures for this condition,
but as q matter Of fact the most Of the
proposed cures have no real merit. In
some manner farming life must be made
more attractive rs well as more profit
able. In some manner We must stop the
drift to the cities and towns. but that
proposition has to deal with the pccu-
liarities OF human nature.

1. H. RHUART HAS CREDIT FUR
 INTRODUCING NOVEL DESIGN IN
 ARIZONA HOTEL CONSTRUCTION

building in this day of modern apph- ances and convenieces. The hotel is of class B construction, with ample fire protection"
 MT. Rhuart has been a resident of Phoenix for the past 27 years, and has been an official of the National Bank of Arizona for some time past. He is a modern business man who be- lieves in being in the vanguard of progress, and in keeping Phoenix up to the highest standard maintained by any city of it's size in the country.
 He has the utmost faith in the pros perity of this community, and is plan ming to go even further in providing hotel accommodations for the thou sands of visitors who spend part of each year in the valley, by building an- other hotel. the duplicate of the Savoy, on the property just north of the re- gently completed structure.
Arizona republican., 1920-12-26
PUBLIC LIKES ID KNOW WHO SHARED
 IN CONSTRUCTION

Whenever an important building is completed in Phoenix, the public nat urally is interested to know just what firms and business houses took part in its construction. In the case of the Savoy Hotel building which also houses the Wilky- Wartman Oil company, a great many individuals and firms had a hand in making the one harmonious unit which now stands as a monument to modern architectural ingenuity, unique among local hotels.
 To the Valley Lumber company fell the task of providing cement, lime and lumber for the handsome new struc- ture. This local company, whose head quarters are lsituated at the corner of Madison and Third streets. while it does not boast of being the oldest Ium- Der company in the valley, nevertheless has been doing business here for 22 years, and has splendid record of growth and prosperity behind it.
 Peter Corpstein, for many years mayor of Phoenix, is head of the Val ley Lumber company, which distributes building supplies of all kinds to all parts of Maricopa county. His son. Avery Corpstein, holds the responsibil- ity of treasurer, while c. F.. Karl is sec retary of the firm.
 Among the many public buildings re- cently completed or still under con- struction, which the Valley Lumber company has supplied with materials, the most prominent are the Shrine Temple on West Washington street, and the Industrial Arts building as Phoenix high school
 Like the other business houses which have put materials into the Savoy build ing, the local lumber company SUD- piled the very best of its line obtain able, as it's share of the construction Of the hotel. Thus the new Savoy, while pre-eminently a credit to it's owner, l.. H. Rhuart, its architects and contractors, the Herbert J. Mann com pany. and to it's lessees, the Willxy- Wartman oil company and Harry Waltz, proprietor of the hotel, goes even farther than this, for it reflects the highest credit to the lumber com pany. the plumbers, the painters, and to every business firm and individual which had any part in its construction

HARRY WALTZ HAS
 LEASE OV NEWEST
 HOTEL. IF PHOENIX

One of the features about the Savoy hotel that appeals to the public it it's newness," Harry Waltz, proprie tor of the new Phoenix hostelry re- marked to the visiting reporter. All the equipment is absolutely new. and the rooms are beautifully furnished throughout.
 "One of our guests, a man who just came in from Old Mexico, said to me. when he registered here, I'll bet you can't guess how I happened to come to the Savoy. After I had crossed the line at Nogales I bought a copy of The Republican. and I saw your adver- tisement new linen, new bedding, new furniture That is what brought me straight to the Savoy, after my arrival in the city,
 Another thing that the public uni- versally likes about the Savoy" AIr. Waltz continued lis the fact that every room is an outside room. The building is so Constructed that there are no airshaft rooms, and it is unique among local hotels and rooming hous- es in this respect.
 "The third big, and this is probably the most important feature of all, is the number of windows that the hotel has. No room has less than two win dows, and the corner rooms have six large ones. Think what this means in climate like oursI Plenty of warm sunshine all winter, and all the fresh air possible in the summer months. There is not a better ventilated hotel than the Savoy to be found anywhere. Our spacious roof affords sleeping accommodations for all who may de- sire the popular method of sleeping in the open ain. One end of the roof is enclosed and screened, for shelter in bad weather. There are also shower baths on the roof.
 Everything about the Savoy is mod : ern. To many people this simply means electric lighted. and with hot and cold water, but in the Savoy, 1t includes in addition, steam heat and telephone in each room.
 We purpose to give our guests courteous treatment at all times whether our house is empty and we need their patronage, or whether we are full and turning away people,
 MT. Waltz has taken a lease on the Savoy hotel from it's owner. l.. H Rhuart. He is a young man. likable and energetic and means to give Phoe- nix a hotel that will add credit to the reputation ofathe city among travel CTS the country over. He had seven years experience in the hotel business In Seattle, and sold his interests there to go into the army. After serving two years, he came to Arizona and has now embarked upon his first venture In the hotel business here.
Arizona republican., 1920-12-26

To l.. II. Rhuart of the National Bank of Arizona, belongs credit for in troducing a new and advantageous style of hotel architecture into Arizona. Anticipating the next move in the pro- gross of hotel designing. Mr. Rhuart in- structed Herbert ]. Mann who designed and built the new Savoy hotel building recently erected at the intersection or Jefferson street and Second avenue op- posite the courthouse, to evolve mod ern hostelry that would contain no ar shaft rooms. and would be the best lighted and ventilated hotel in the city.
 The result was obtained
 Ut was because | realized the crying need of Phoenix for more hotel equip ment that decided to erect the Savoy hotel" MT. Rhuart explained his pur- pose to a reporter. Before the Savoy was started. had just finished having a new addition built to the Seventh Avenue hotel. formerly known as the West End. on the corner of Washing ton street and Seventh avenue.
 The lack of accommodations for tourists and winter visitors that has been keenly felt here for some time, increasing rapidly from year to year, had become extended to include regular Phoenicians. For more than a year 1t has been the hardest thing in the world for local people who do not own their homes to find suitable roems, apart ments or houses. and with rents soar ing all the time. many people are find ing it cheaper in the long run and Q great deal more satisfactory and con- Venient to make their homes in hotels.
 Tt is with the hope of helping te ameliorate conditions in a degree al least, that I went to work and built a two- story. addition containing 24 rooms to the Seventh avenue hotel. and re- modelled and modernized the old build ing. making it first class in every re- , spect.
 "The Savoy hotel. which opened it: doors during fair week and was i'm. mediately filled to capacity. contain: I5 rooms. Every room has outside windows and plenty of fresh air anC sunshine. It was my intention, and am confidant that we have succeeded to build a hotel that would be com fortable all the year round. in spite O. either extreme of temperature.
 Modern and Convenient
 There are commodious sleeping ac. comodations on the roof, which com mands a beautiful view of the Sal River valley and the surrounding mountains. On the roof are als' shower baths and every room has { lavatory with hot and cold water Every room also has steam heat ant a telephone.
 Briefly. we have not spared any ef fort to make the Savoy hotel building as modern, convenient, comfortable anC sanitary as it is possible to make an,

One of the most celebrated mirages Is that which is observed now and then from the neighborhood of Glacier bay in Alaska, where, in the distance, above a vast sheet of glacial ice. a city is seen as if suspended in the air It has buildings of beautiful and i'm posing architecture, tall churches with spires and buttresses and many streets of houses, plain to the view.

 There is a famous mirage called "Fata Morgana," which on occasions is seen from the neighborhood of Beggio, in Italy. Here the effect pro- duced is due to a layer of heated air, which by refraction. of light brings into
