COPPER COMPA ANY H 4 { PROMISING
 O|L DEVELOPN MEN

Of particular interest to many stockholders in Tucson and other parts of Southern Arizona is the fol lowing story, printed from the Bos Helvetia Copper company, now oper- ton Financial News. relative to the ating in the Texas oil fields. The Helvetia company owns a promising group of copper claims in the Santa Rita mountains, south and east of Tucson.
 The article follows:
 An encouraging development on the oil land leases of the Helvetia Cop per company near San Antonio, Texas, is 50 per cent increase in the flow of oil from it's No. well, or from eight barrels day to a set tied production of F barrels daily.
 The Nos. one, two, three and four wells are still producing an average of barrels a we'll per day.
 The No. 6 well is down 1920 feet, and should reach the oil sands most any day now. The No: seven well is well bottomed at a depth of 800 feet. The No. eight well was started late last week.
 The fact that the settled daily pro duction from the No. five well is av- eraging 12 barrels a day, is encoarag- ing and leads the management to be- lieve that some of the wells now drilling ana to be drilled may show as high daily output.
 The weather has shown a decided change for the better which will make for greater progress in drilling. Dur ing the rainy weather the roades and fields were practically impossible on account of the deep mud, which great ly retarded work.
 At the present time Helvetia is producing an average of A barrels of oil day At $S barrel the present market in San Antona, this produc- tion is worth approximately $132 a day With new wells coming in ev- cry week or two the earnings of the company should record substantial increase from now on. For while Helvetia was obliged to use part of it's oil for power purposes, but that situation has been remedied
 Helyetia has a large acreage near San Antonio and as one well is be- ing sunk to every four acres, it will require a number of years before it's acreage has been thoroughly drilled.
 The oil produced by the company s well is of high grade, and averages from 32 per cent to 40 per cent gas oline, and is in good demand at S3 a barrel.

GEORGE SMITH
 VAS SURPRISED
Had Suffered For Twenty Years Tanlac Makes Him Well
 and Strong.

"If I had gotten hold of Tanlas sooner it would have saved me lot of suffering" said George Smith, a retired and highly respected farmer who resides at 1144 Thirteenth Street, San Diego. Cal, recently. Contfnu- ing, he said:
 For twenty years I have suffered more or less with stomach trouble, and of late years I have kept gradu- ally getting worse and worse My appetite was so poor 1 had to force down every mouthful, and even the little I managed to eat in this way would cause me the worst sort of misery. as it would sour and I would have intense cramping pains in my stomach and at times would have pains all through my body. also had the headache nearly all the time. I had no life or energy and just felt tired out and miserable and hardly able to drag myself around.
 Naturally, have tried many diff ferent treatments and medicines, but was never able to obtain more than temporary relief We'll, as had been reading so much about the good Tan lac was doing others I decided to try it, and must say it has helped me wonderfully, and am in better general health than 1 have been in twenty years. The condition of my stomach has been greatly improved. and my appetite is so much better 1 can eat good meal and enjoy it, something l. have been unable to do for years and years. 1 am never troubled with any bad effects after eating and for the first time in great while I am entirely free, of the headache. In fact, I am in so much better condition that I was before taking Tanlac am actually surprised at it, and if I continue in as good health as I am now will be perfect ly satisfied. Yes, sir, I believe Tan lac will help any one who has stom- ach trouble, and feel it my duty to tell others of the good it has done me" v

WIRE CLOTHES LINE.

A clothes line made of wire often rusts. This trouble may be eliminat- cd by painting the line with a light colored paint, or enameling it. The process also saves labor. as the only cleaning necessary is the application of a damp cloth immediately before the line Is to be used.

PILGRIM WORTHY. OF HONOR
Elder Brewster Gave Up Much When

Gone is the ancient pear tree, and
no trace remains of the mulberry tree

to raise their hats to the memory of
Elder Brewster at his one-time home,
because special arrangements have
been made for escorting parties to
the haunts Of Pilgrim Fathers during

made great sacrifices but one will be

aanager of it, said Friday in speak
ing of the venture, 1--WE have given
it up. We have the land and we
have twenty thousand of the trees
left yet, but we do not regard the
trees of any value. We have been
spending-a bout $40 an acre to pull
or chop them out. Where it is seed
ed to grass we are chopping them
down. We are pasturing a lot of
stock on the land, and are making
the best of bad situation.
eve thought for awhile this
spring that we were going to harvest
an apple crop from the trees we had
left, but the frost on the first of
June destroyed the prospect. We
had 125 tracts of five acres each,
and the trees were old enough to
bear, but we lost one crop after an
other as regularly as the years came
Since we know that it is a failure we
have been buying out the people who
wanted to sell. They could not af-
ford to keep five-acre tract each,
and lease it, while they lived in some
other state, so we are again CONSOLE
dating the tract under one manage
ment after Snandino vnarc RI pro
mote what we thought would be a

time to be loading up with real
estate in the face of heavy taxes,

MOON AS ALLY OF FARMER
Agricuiturist Asserts He Courts His
Sweetheart and Plants His Corn
by luna's Light.

A contributor to the New York Trib-
une, living In the country, Is alarmed
lest the scientists blow up the moon.
He very properly says that the city
man doesn't appreciate the moon; In
fact, he seldom sees it. But out In the
country the moon serves a real pur-
pose, and 1t ought to be protected from
onslaughts from the rockets of the sci
entists. The contributors letter is so
delightful, and as it contains as much
wisdom as many other letters we read
we quote at length:
"Nobody knows what the moon is
made Of. Maybe it's made out of some
kind Of mineral that will explode when
this flash powder goes off on it. And let
me tell you, Mr. Editor, that wouldn't
be very funny thing for anybody to
have the moon blow up.
'Folks in the city don't know any
thing about the moon. whether it is
anything or whether it amt, and they
don't care. But we folks that live In
the country use the moon a great deal.

my Oldest boy is doing the same thing
with his girl. I've planted my corn in
the full of the moon for forty years and
never had poor crop Besides. we use
the moon in lots of other ways. can't
hardly think what life would be here
in the country without the moon"
Aye, aye, sir, we are for you-espe-
cially since you seem to know how to
court. 1t has been a marvel to us for
years how city boy manages to fall
in love with girl when the light came
from an electric bulb instead of from
the friendly moon.-Columbus Dis

Death Of Russian
Crowned Heads Told
of by Eyewitness
By Universal Service

PARASITIC first authentic eye
witness account of tragic death of
the Russian car and czarina, given
by Alexandra Debrowitz, former
courier for the murdered car, was
publisher here Saturday in the form
of book entitled, 1.-THE Last
Czarina"
1t relates the following converse
tion between the unfortunately en-
press and soviet executioner Yakow-
loft:
Woman Romanoff, you are about
to expiate for your crimes before
the sovereign justice of the Russian
people. Your husband, the blood
drinker, is already dead"
The czarina replied: Take my life,
but my son is innocent. In the name
of justice and pity, don't slay my
child. If you must have victims,
take me and the car. Won't two
crowned heads satisfy you?"
Then ensued, according to Dobrow-
ltz story, scene Datfng deS lriptlon
An immense bonfire was lighted and
the czarina and her little son, the
czarvitch, as we'll as some women
of the court, were driven into it by
hayonets, some Of which were in
the hands of women whose farocity
outdid that Of the men.
Three times one of the czarina's
daughters, Tatiana, escaped being
deyoured by the flames only to be
pushed back by the Infatuated
crowd. The czarina, taking her son
firmyl by the hand, marched calmly
into the center of the fire She
never uttered a sound.

story disagrees with. other versions
which assert that the czarana died

BUENOs AIRES PRICES

The South American, discussing
the cost of living in Buenos Aires.
says that for Americans living in that
city. an unmarried man should have
at least $3.50 United States gold a
month; a man and W fe, $4z5. a
married couple with one child, $500.
81 csc figures" says the pnblica-
tior. may be taken as applyins to
permanent residents, while travelling
representatives Of American firms
will probably require something lii e
twice these sums"
From this it is quite plain that liv
ing is anything but cheap in Buenos
Aires. Hitherto the impression has
prevailed in this country tina tile
est of living in South American
cities generally was much below that
o,ta ming in cities in the United
States.
In Buenos Aires hotel rates run
from 81 to $40 day. while god
board may be had in boarding houses
0r private homes for from So to
s125 per month. Unfurnished apart
ments in desirable localities, with
four or five rooms, vary from $II to
$40 as monthly rental. At pres
eat much difficulty is experienced in
finding suitable places even at these
PRICES. However, says the journal,
it is probable that with the return
of normal conditions and the conse-
que Mt reduction in the cost of bald
ing materials, the construction of
modern apartment houses on a largo
scale will relieve the situation some
what.
Telephones for genera. business
purposes cost from $500 to $3.50:
professional use, 1928, and for bri-
vate residences, 81. The average
cost of current for lighting is 8 cents
per kilowatt hour. Gas for cooking,
heating, etc, is paid for at the rate
of cents per cubic meter. Firewood
costs approximately SIT per ton.
Charcoal of superior quality is very
largely used in the kitchens of
Buenos Aires, and sells at retail for
about 2cents pound. Coal sells at
present for about $24 per ton.
prices are still on the upward
trend concludes the South Ameri-
can, and, contrary to all previous
expectations, the crest of the wave
does not seem to have vet been
reached"

AUGUSTINE TALKS ON ROADS

]. H. Augustine says he has never
obtained settlement with the coun-
'ty commissioners for the loss of the
use of his lands where they took
down the fence last summer and let
the stock out that he was pasturing
for other people. The fence remain
ed down to the end of the season
and he says it is still down. Mr..
Bills authorized him to rebuild it
himself and file his bill with the
county clerk, but that did not cover
all the matters involved. There was
a dispute over the land itself and
the Encouragement of a private
ditch, and the dumping ground for
lot of gravel that he did not want
dumped on his land, and it was all
rather unsatisfactory. He wished
they would come to some kind of a
settlement and replace the fence. He
said he would not let an individual
use his property that way, but be-
ing the county he disliked to fight it.
He said he doubted very much
whether we are getting the value of
the money the roads have cost, and
he does not like the way they are
going to pieces He thinks the COM
have done great deal
Of work and have probably done their
best, and perhaps as we'll as it was
possible to do, but he doubts the
wisdom of building roads now.

Bunting refused him pass, he
would act like he was going to spill
the Beans. Bunting would grab a
pencil and write a pass for him aud
swear that he would never do II
again, but Creswell would see to 1t
that he did.
Bunting's Downfall Begun
Finally Bunting called Reno in
and told him not to honor Creswell's
pass the next time he presented it..
He confessed that he could not re-
fuse him, but said he was determined
that Creswell should not cross that
bridge any more free. A man in
business is treading on dangerous
ground when he arrapges to have
his own signature dishonored, but
that is what Bunting planned.
Creswell drove his outfit on the
approach of the bridge loaded for
Custer, seventeen thousand pounds
and the water barrels. He presented
his pass and it was refused. Reno
stood pat. Creswell jumped off his
wheeler. Reno was little man but
he was Merry and he remained in
control of the road. He made Cres-
well dig around in his wagons for
collateral, and he pulled out a set
of harness and delivered it into the
toll house as a pawn.
Played the Game Square
Bergman continued to play the
game Of retaliation until he brought
Mr.. Bunting to time and made him
sit down in the directirs' meeting
and take his medicine. He was un-
dermining his own credit, his firm,
his signature, and multiplying his
enemies and difficulties when he
was in middle life and when he ought
to have been building up to the zen
it'll of his power. For ten more years
he and Mr.. Bergman played the
business and financial game, then
came the Bunting failure, the re-
ownership, the litigation to straight
en- out the tangle and then Mr.. Ber-
ryman took over the big Bunting
store and bank and whatever else
he wanted.
1t was an unusual demonstration
of the advantage of acting square.
Mr.. Bergman is still able to buy a
meal ticket, being a heavy stock
holder in chain of banks Frank
Reno did his duty as he always does,
and he has a place or two to lay
his head. He has 500 acres of land
in the Birch creek country, owns the
Idaho Falls fair grounds and vari-
GUS other good pieces of property.

MAKE MORE USE OF
THE LIBRARY

The annual report of the city IL
brary shows that quite lively inter
est is taken in the books there of.
fered for public use. But it cannot
be said that the library is taken ad.
vantage of in any proportion to its
ability to serve. Folks are so busy
now doing the thousand pleasant
nothings of modern life that they
find little time to devote to the
quieter joys of extensive reading.
In their old age these busy ones
will be just like many old folks they
know today who fret and worry and
regret themselves into mere squeezed
lemons Of humanity because young
people stay away from them and
they are unable to go in search of
the thrills they wasted their youth
on.
Old age must be self-supplied with
pastime; inside the mind must live
a wealth of thoughts and associa-
lions, constantly turning up with new
faces in new combinations. What is
experience for if it is not to enrich
the mind? Books are filled with
the experience of the ages. Reading
them cultivates the ability of reflec-
ton that must be old ages princi-
pal solace.
Old people who have neglected
books and thoughts in their time are
doubly unfortunate for in most cases
they raise up around them the same
sort of young ones who give them
small consolation, being busy with
their own gaieties and frolics. And
strangers do not seek out the COM
pany of spent mentalities.
On the other hand, when white
hairs cover a rich and cultivated
mind, the best of youth and age
comes near for the atmosphere of
intellectual helpfulness. F. c. K.

A Sugar-C,oated Slogan

The Utah-Idaho Sugar company
originated and pushed the slogan,
'The old sugar company treats you
right" And yet when it says you"
it does not mean the average beet
grower. 1t means the big fellow.
Three years ago when the Parkin-
sons of Blackfoot had men out over
this county writing beet contracts
for an independent company, the
representatives of the Utah-Idaho
spread out over the same territory
explaining to people that the old
sugar company had always treated
them right and they ought to stand
by them instead Of tying up with
new people they knew nothing about.
They promised a better service at
the beet dumps. and better disposal
of the pulp division, along with
many other things, but the growers
have had to fight for every inch of
improvement they have received.
