1t Is Not Too Much

When President Leaning announced the
slogan OF the Advertising Club for the re-
mainder OF tho term many members gasped
Just bit The slogan is ION to Richmond
in 1924"
This is something entirely in the realm OF
possibility. Why should not Richmond
terrain the convention OF the Associated Ad-
Vertising Clubs OF the World in 1924? Will
any one among US even hint that this is too
big proposition for Richmond? Not hardly
Richmond has outgrown its swaddling clothes
and Is capable OF entertaining a convention
such as the annual gathering OF representa-
tives from the various advertising clubs
throughout the world.
1t is true that 1t is large convention. 1t
Is also true that IL would require a fund OF
not less than $4,000 to properly entertain
the convention. This should not deter Rich
mond in her efforts to bring the convention
here in 1924.
1t is conservative to say that the conven-
ton that year will bring together at least
five thousand people from every State in the
Union, and from many foreign countries
they are pre-cmnently the type OF men that
Richmond wants to see. Milwaukee was
willing to guarantee n fund of 100000 for
the entertainment OF the convention in 1920
Atlanta beat them to it. The convention
VIII undoubtedly go to a Western city in
1922 and Southwestern city in 1923. Rich
mond's opportunity lies in 1924. Let all of
US get in the fight and make our plans
TO assault the ramparts at Atlanta next June
and capture the convention for Richmond

COCONINO COUNTY'S
 ENVIABLE RECORD

Cocinino county, Arizona, enjoys the proud distinction of having supplied its quota for the world war by volun- teers; there was not man from that county drafted into the service. Sons of the richest men of the county took the lead and offered their services to Uncle Sam. From these boys there has not been a chirp of criticism against the government, the president or the war department. They doubt less encountered many hardships and some privations that goes with the game of war, but the rugged young men from among the tall pines are not weddings. They understood frontier life and were not reared with silver spoon.
 From localities where nearly every young man offered excuse and tried to keep out, there has been demand for bonus and clamor about the privations of a soldiers life. The boys who went cheerfully and by the volunteer route are proud of the service they were able to render their, country in time of need
 Politicians had no influence with these sturdy lads when they tried to discredit the wonderful achievements of our forces on land and sea.
 Our army was the best paid and the best equipped that ever went to do battle.--Phoenix Messenger.

CONGRESS ASKED TO GIVE FUNDS TO DEVELOP OUR NATIONAL PARKS

and for miscellaneous expenses, $S,- 900.
 One important improvement is con- templated for next year. This is the construction of highway to connect the main park road with the Cortez- Shiprock Highway in New Mexico. The construction of this road will pro- vide direct access to the park from the south and will place Mesa Verde Park squarely on the National Park-to-Park highway.
 National Monuments: Care and protection of "A national monuments, $27, ,OOO.
 Specified estimates have been sub mitted for 10 National monuments, the CONGRESS ASKED-TWO .... .... .... amount requested for these monu- ments ranged from S12.00 to $6,192. It should be recorded here that the majority of the custodians of the var | ious national monuments serve for a nominal salary of $12.00 a year. An item of $1 ,231 has been submit ted for the making of warning and direction signs for the national mon- uments.
 Crater Lake National Park, Oregon: S26, 400. For administration, $4,520; for protection, $3.S20; for mainten- ance, $13,945; for construction of physical improvements, $3,l15; and for miscellaneous expenses, S1,000.
 Zion National Park, Utah: $20,- 900. For administration, $1,750; for protection, $2,590; for maintenance, S3,800; for construction of physical improvements, S10,50O; and for mis- cellaneous expenses, $1 ,360.
 General Grant National Park, Sal ifornia: S1O,OO0. For administra- tion, $1, TOO; for protection, $500; for maintenance, S1,800; for construction of physical improvements, $2,3OO; for miscellaneous expenses, $500.
 Each year the national parks return to the federal treasury large divi- dend on the investment in the form of revenues. In 1920 these revenues amounted to S316,S77.96, approxi- mately 35 per cent of the cost of main taining the parks in that year. It is estimated that the revenues for this fiscal year will amount to over S400,' 900, of 40 per cent of this years cost As this years travel exceeded 1,050,' 900 tourists the parks and monument: were managed at an average cost pei visitor of about 55 cents, or about tho cost of reserved seat at good nov ie show. If the comprehensive plans for the development of the parks a. submitted to congress this year ar' approved and funds are provided tc complete these plans over period ot years it is confidently expected tha the revenues will be brought to fig ure approximating the cost of the ad ministration, maintenance and protec tion of these reserves.

HOBO UNION WILL FIGHT ITS RIVAL.

TOLEDO, O.-War between two hobo organizations developed at the convention of James Eads How's h. ternational Brotherhood Welfare as- sociation, when notice was served on that organization by the Hobos' Union of America, that if How attempts to extend his activities to "real hobos he will have a fight on his hands. " Gus Gramer, Ohio director of the Hobos' Union, personally carried the ultimatum to How.
 "Jeff Davis is the head of the hobos' organization" said Gramer, land if the How organization at tempts to organize local here there will be trouble, for we are chartered by the State of Ohio."
 Delegates at the convention today sent message of congratulation to Charles Garland, of Buzzard's Bay, Mass, who refused legacy of $1,- GOO, ,000. The message, however, ask ed Garland to accept the bequest "and turn it back to the people who earned it."

W-PUNCHER MAKES
 FIGHT FOR LIFE

A tale of pluck and determination in fight for life is revealed at the bedside of Bill Simon, lying in the Mercy hospital recovering slowly from an operation for appendicitis.
 Out on the desert alone, tending a winter herd of cattle in the Weaver district for Ed Genung, Bill Simon felt the approach of serious attack of appendicitis. With the entire re- sponsibility for the herd on his hands and no one to call on for assistance, Bill stayed on the job riding around the herd until he knew that his con- dition released him from that respon- sibility.
 Several miles from his camp, he had to make the trip on horseback, suffering every step the horse took, and then after a sleepless night of torture he climbed on his horse at daybreak and started on the long journey across the desert to Congress Junction. Dizzy and weak from pain, unable to see his horses head, he clung to the saddle until he could no longer hold his seat, he would lie on the ground and rest while Paleface, his pal-horse, questioningly nosed his body. Then up into the saddle he would climb again and ride until the pain became unbearable.
 Thus he made his way to Congress Junction where he was given what assistance could be found. He re- mained there the second night and then was brought into Prescott and immediately taken to the Mercy hos pital and operated on.
 He now lies weak and weary with blistered lips and aching side, but he is the same plucky, smiling Bill Simon that has made host of friends in this country.
 Sitting about the fireplace in a ranch house the writer told group of COW men about Bills operation and one of them told this story:
 "It was just after Bill Simon came to this country from the east. He wasn't strong and all the life and the country of the west was new to him. He came out to where pool outfit was operating on Cow creek that my father was interested in, and asked for work. When questioned what he could do, he said that everything was new to him but that he would do his best on any job they gave him.
 "The range boss said: Well, I'll put you to wrangling horses day and night
 "Bill answered: Has anybody ever done what you ask me to dol?
 "'Yes,' said the range boss.
 "Well,' said Bill, then l can do it, too.'"
 Such was Bills introduction to the life of the west and such is his at titude still.-Prescott Courier.

NATIONAL WOOL GROWERS SUPPORT SHOOT PLAN

The National Sheep and Wool Bu- reau of America, No. 23 East Jackson boulevard, Chicago, announces that it will lend it's entire support to the plan of Senator Reed Shoot, of Utah, to secure years embargo on the impor- tation of wool.
 This announcement was made by President Alexander Walker upon his arrival from New York City to take part in several wool conferences that are to be held in connection with the International Livestock Exposition at the Union Stock Yards.
 The National Sheep and Wool Bu- reau of America last January secured the introduction of the French -Capper Truth in Fabric bill, which is design ed to compel textile manufacturers to stamp their cloth with its content of virgin (new) wool and of shoddy- old rags reworked in some cases as often as eight times.
 President Walker said that one hundred and ten organizations of all descriptions, some of them of nation wide influence, have now endorsed the Truth in Fabric measure and that five or six new resolutions are arriving at the headquarters of the bureau daily Among the strongest supporters of the measure is the American Farm Bureau Federation, of which J. R. Howard is president. MT. Howard is a governor of the bureau. MT. Walk CT said:
 "The National Sheep and Wool Blu reau of America is greatly in favor of Senator Shoots embargo proposal and will give it and also the proposal for tariff high enough to adequately protect the wool growers of the Unit ed States the same whole-hearted and vigorous support that it is giving the French -Capper Truth in Fabric bill.
 Ut must be clearly understood however, that neither an embargo noi a high protective tariff would of itself be able to protect the sheep grower from his greatest foe-the junkman Even with the embargo and the tariff in effect, the wool grower would still need the protection of the French Capper Truth in Fabric bill to shield him from the unfair competition of the rag-picker, because shoddy-the prod. uct of re-worked woolen rags-woulC still be sold as virgin (new) wool un. der cover of the misunderstood popu' lar term, 'all wool.' The wool grow. CT will be at the mercy of the shoddy interests until there is passed law making it compulsory for the textile manufacturers to label their clotf with its content of virgin wool anc of shoddy.
 With the farmers still burdenet with their wool clip of last spring with the storehouses of the worlC choked with four billion pounds of un used wool, with the popular demand for virgin wool cloth artifcially di verted by certain textile manufactur CTS from the wool grower to the rag picker, it is absolutely essential fol the protection of the wool grower. that the French -Capper Truth in Fab ric bill be enacted as soon as congress re-convenes."
 I Last March, the interstate and for. eign commerce committee of the house of representatives held a hearing or the bill, but adjournment was taker before the measure was reported out of committee. This December, a hear. ing on the measure will be held before the senate committee on interstate and foreign commerce.

SOLDIERS EDUCATIONAL AID

visions would be more than sufficient
to cover all Of the aid asked for by re-
turned service men; and further that
not all of the applicants would ask aid
for the entire year. Instead of such
being the case, there has been filed with
the Secretary Of State, more than 3700
applications for state aid, under the
terms of the law so generously enacted
by the people Of Oregon at the special
election. June 8, 1919. It seems that
there yet will be many more who will
take advantage of the law and pursue
courses of study in the various educa-
tional institutions throughout the state.
In view the fact that the sum of siss.0s7.os is

the ex-service will require to January I. 1891

special session of the Legislature appropriated
additional $2500 0O0 The purpose of the present

appropriated under the act approved by them. June
8. 1919. that substantially s400000.0e annually
be raised for 1921. 1922 1928. The entire $780,

cational aid to those ex-service men who taking

The experience of the three institutions

ten in 1920 with an income of 5000. And
with the attendance one and one-haf
