The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1920-12-13

This is the week Of the great conference at Mar
ion. The New York Times points out that while
this meeting OF the big men of the nation with the
next president is without precedent in our history
Harding will have to do the deciding after it is all
over OF course, and ii the truth were only known 1t
probably would develop that Harding right now
knows what he would like to do with regard to our
foreign policy, but is trying to find out what we
can do as an approach to his ultimate goal. Now
ana then there is statesman who inuitirely knows
how far the public is willing go, but most Of them
are cmpirlciss of the frankest kind. Harding at
least is trying to prevent waste of time. And after
the two years that have been thrown away in the
Reconstruction there is nothing more valuable than
that very thing.

MOVING PICTURES OF
 THE GRAND CANYON

The Grand Canyon of the Colorado is becoming one of great interest in the moving picture field, especially as an advertising medium. The past month has seen moving pictures of the canyon taken from the air for the Fox Film company and for the Santa Fe railroad. The north side of the canyon was filmed for the Union Pa cific railroad, which contemplates the diverting travel into the Cedar Breaks, Zion Canyon and the Grand Canyon from that road, the richest in natural scenery of any country on earth. All of that country is to be filmed and an advertising campaign put on at all movie theaters in the country.
 It is understood that the pictures secured by the aviators over the Grand Canyon will be featured in all theaters using the Fox film features. The Santa Fe is also to feature it wherever possible to give the canyon the widest possible advertising, both in newspapers and folders, the pictur- es being taken from some of the re- markable sections of the aerial views. These pictures will be wonderful on the screen, especially the stills, which will take on the coloring of the mag nificiently tinted canyon walls. The advertising campaign will be so stag ed that it will bring thousands of peo- pie across the country in trains and automobiles to drink in the wondrOus beauties of mountain gorge and the greatest canyon in the world, colored so wonderfully that no rainbow tints can be compared to it; the Cedar Breaks of southern Utah, second only to the Grand Canyon in beauty, and the miniature Grand Canyon, the Lit tie Zion Canyon. And the wonderful forest of pine that the roads to the canyon will lead through, will be reve- lations to visitors who believed that Arizona and Utah were desert wastes. Not only will these advertisements of the two states be works of art, but they will be educational as we'll. Few people realize that Arizona has one of the largest forests of pine in the United States; that it has enormous wealth in grazing and farm lands, and that it has really little if any desert. Utah is also beauty spot, the people of that state building towns in the picturesque spots of the state, and bringing the waste lands into fruit fitness.
 The work is to be commended and the advertising the two states will re- ceive will bring thousands of visitors here to see the wondertU things that nature has builded in the way of our nations playgrounds.

WOULD KILL FAMILY
 COMPLAINT ALLEGES

Charging one of the most fiendish crimes that can be perpetrated Mark Luzon and wife this week caused the arrest of John and Curtis Tatum. The charge filed against the defendants was that of putting poison in the food of the Luzon's at the ranch home of the latter in Cottonwood valley, about 60 miles northwest of Kingman. Luzon and wife had been in Kingman in September and returning home found upon cooking their morning meal that something bitter was mixed with their food. MT. Luzon was made sick by the food, but evidently dis covered it in time to destroy the eff fects of the poison, if poison it was, and Mrs. Luzon ejected the bitter food before it had any effect on her. The food was destroyed. Later in the month the Luzon's were agaln away from home and when they returned they again found the bitter stuff in their food. MT. Luzon made an ex- animation of the coffee and found crystals that resembled the crystals of strychnine. He brought the cof- fee to Kingman and had test made on the crystals and found that they were really strychnine. All the food in the home had been plentifully sprinkled with the poison. As Luz on had been threatened, so he alleges, by the Tatums he caused their arrest and they are being held under bond for the hearing, which is to come be- fore the court next Tuesday.
 The Luzons and Tatun.s. occupy ad- joining farms in Cottonwood valley and there has been hard feeling be- tween the families, but for what req son we have not been informed. The allegation goes to the effect that the Tatums and another man residing in the valley, have purchased strychnine, but that they did not sign up the poison register kept by the druggist:
 Poisoning the food of a family IS one of the worst crimes in the calen- dar and it is to be hoped that the defendants will clearly prove that they are guiltless of the offense.

RAPID GROWTH AR|z-
 ONA SUBJECT EAST

That Arizona is receiving no small amount of attention from people of other states is being demonstrated every day. Among the recent favor able comments is letter received by the chamber of commerce from Paul W. Albrecht, a mortgage. and in sulance broker of Philadelphia, en- closing an editorial from the Phila- delphia Evening Bulletin. The edi- torial is headed, It's Big Country" and says:
 According to the census figures Arizona has been having boom dur ing the past ten years, and not only records the greatest growth in it's his tory, but leads all the rest of the states of the union with it's 53.1 per cent of increase.
 But the official count snows only 33333,273 heads in the state, at that, or about the population of West Phila- delphia, while the 113,020 square miles of area of the state would over lap the combined boundaries of New York, New Jersely, Pennsylvania, with Maryland added if the spread of Chesapeake bay were to be excluded. Arizona could keep on growing at her record breaking rate for couple of generations and yet have plenty of elbow room, with fair amount of truck garden and pasturage space from which to feed her population.
 Moreover the great irrigation works like the Roosevelt dam and the Yuma project are making the desert lands blossom and making new opportunity in Arizona which bids fair to con- tinue to attract population at rate

ONE THIRD 0F RURAL SCHOOLS
 LACK TEACHERS

\ third of the rural schools in the United States, cannot open for want of teachers, according to a report re- ceived by C. o. Case state superin-
 tendent of public instruction, from the National Educational association. That there are thousands of schools in charge of teachers who have no professional preparation is also stat ed in the communication received from Washington.
 That the teachers shortage in the rural districts was one of the prob lems that confronted Mr. Case at the beginning of the school year was ad- mitted yesterday when the superin- tendent said that at least 30 tempor- ary certificates had to be granted be- fore the schools were opened. There is no shortage at the present time, he said, but the temporary certificates granted hold good only until the teachers examination in December. If the teachers do not take advan- tage of the opportunity to qualify they will not be eligible to teach in the schools of the state, and new teachers will have to be found to fill the vacancies.
 Here is what MT. Case received:
 "The teacher shortage remains a menace to the public schools accord ing to preliminary reports made to- day by the National Education asso- citation. Replies to questionaires sent out by the association have come from all sections of the United Stat es. These reports show that in plac- es where teachers salaries have been increased 100 per cent or more the situation is nearly always satisfac- tory. But such places are compara- lively few, and in localities where salaries have been increased 50 per cent or less the teacher shortage is commonly greater htan a year ago. Rural communities are the hardest hit. Signed reports from superln- tendents of many counties indicate that a third of their rural schools cannot open for want of teachers. Tens of thousands of schools will be in charge of teachers who have had no professional preparation ana whose academic training barely ex- ceeds that of the children they teach.
 Relief from this serious situation which imperils the stability of rural life, will be sought from the next session of congress. Renewed efforts will be made to obtain the passage ot the Smith Tower bill, which creates a department of education with a sec, retary in the presidents cabinet and provides federal aid of $1OO,OOO,OoO for education"

TIRE TALKS
No. 1.-THE REASON WHY

-NO. lO.-l hLtAADoN W II The law of compensation is an in- eXorable one and ever runs true to form, and the maximum that you put into it is an undiluted truth. The success and the pub lie confidence enjoyed by some of our professional men has only been attained after years of hard work, endless toll and ceaseless striving to attain and maintain standard of perfection or as near one as it is possible to reach. Their reward by the public is their just due.
 It is the Sucker" variety that keeps the mushroom merchant, the fake promoter, and false pre- tense business man alive. True his existence is short lived, but just as there is a new crop of suckers" brought into the world with sun-like regularity, the crop or parasites IS Just as pf0ll1lc. Here, too, we see the law of sup ply and demand.
 Happily the majority of us use our upper extremity for other purposes than a hat rack, and the public as a whole is hard to fool. The tire business has just passed through a period of indis- position and we hope that con- valescence is now taking place. Nevertheless, we cannot com plain, and it is with pardonable pride we say that our store is one of the busiest in Kingman. Guess the reason.

ARRANGE FOR
VAN RYAN and
SCHAUER BOUT
Boys VIII Battle Ten Rounds Be.
fore American Legion In Moline
Friday Night.

Negotiations were completed yes
terday for bringing AL Van Ryan
and Johnny Schauer to Moline on
Friday, July 2. to provide the main
attraction of the American legion's
boxing show at Browning field. The
two st. Paul ightweights will trav-
Ell 10 rounds at about 1877 pounds.
The match was arranged when the
Dundee-Marino affair fell thorugh.
Schauer welcomes the chance to
battle Van Ryan before tri-city
crowd. On the occasion of his last
appearance in Moline, Schauer
through his manager, Mike Nc
Nulty, let it be known that he en-
tertains a healthy grudge against
Al because the latter is alleged to
have passed the word around that
he beat Johnny in Minneapolis.
Johnny claims he won all the way
and thought no more about it, CIV
ing AL credit for putting up a good
battle against him.
Therefore when the pair face
each other Friday night under the
stars, the going should prove fast
and furious the whole route. Both
boys are fast and clever, with
Schauer boasting the greater ex-
perience. Each can hit hard, so a
knockout may be dished up to the
fans who attend. Schauer is a
classy infighter, while Van Ryan
does effective work with his long
left jab.
Buck Timothy and Emmett Shee-

say that this little affair should
prove interesting is putting it
mildly.
The post has arranged for two
good preliminaries, so that the
evenings program should prove
full Of pep from the start. Brown

place to stage open air bouts. Al
ready the. seat sale has assumed q
