UuElIlS IIl0 wet W0dLIlST, IllS clang of the drill resounds from all corners of the Hol- brook Field. New develop ment is assured for the im- mediate future and all is be- ing done that. possibly may be done to facilitate the work now going on, to the end that the coming summer will witness the actual bring ing in of the Holbrook Oil Field.
 Partisans of different com panies now drilling havexar- ious versions, or reasons, why the field will be brought in at such and such a time, but in no case, are we able to discover a wayereing note in the direct statement that successful outcome of deve- lopment may be expected soon.
 Companies now working are going ahead without any blare of brass bands, and new development plans are being made by those with ample funds to carry out any plans that are formulated.
 In the case of the big Aztec Petroleum Securities Company the development of whose property is in the immediate future, this com pany has gone ahead, and has completed the large re- servoir for the impounding of perhaps a million gallons of water, and this will be of untold benefit in facilitating operations.
 Work at the Holbrook Oil Company we'll is progressing and with sufficient water as- sured from the big reservoir during the coming warm weather, this company will undoubtedly make progress that will be astounding to even it's most ardent sup porters. A new two and a half ton truck has been add ed to the equipment and this will be amply sufficient to haul water required for two towers pending the filling of the reservoir by the spring rains.
 Those interested in the Adamana we'll are much satisfied at the progress be- ing made and are keeping a keen eye on development as the passing of the strata in which the drill is now work ing, it is believed, will be an interestingevent. c. R. Furf of Jerome, who is interested in the drilling contract of this well has been in Hol- brook for the past four or five days and is enthusiastic over the chances for bring ing in this well.
 At the Zuni we'll work is being rushed as fast as pos sible. Partisans of this sec tion of the field are confident that at a shallow depth oil will be encountered. The big rig of this company is capable of rushing the work along in good shape.
 Progress is reported at the well of the Apache Oil Co.

HUMAN IDEALS
(BY THOMAS R. w1LLIAMs)
IDEALIsM VERSUS REALISE

1 10 AAO OASSS 6 AS%SAOAA VI state that with every man consciously or unconsciously
 the ultimate aim of life is the attainment of happiness. That this is true can be read fly seen by a careful study of the races of mankind through the medium of their literature, their art and their religion. Whether it be the happy-hunting grounds of the Indian; Abraham's bosom for the Hebrew; Kismet for the Mohammedan; ;or Heaven for the Christian; the life purposes are identical. Yet though the life purposes of all men are alike, the means they employ in striving for their attainment are totally different. There have been offered at various times, a hundred and one different solutions to the problem, but out of all these there have arisen two foremost and op- posing schools of thought Realism and Idealism.
 The doctrine of the Real ist has held sway almost con- tinuously for many centuries, and it is today at it's zenith. And what has it produced? An unsuitable desire for the "almighty dollar, which has resulted in a policy of "every man for himself and the devil take the hindmost";; and which in turn has cre- ated the most despicable ob- feet of our standardization the profiteer. Opposing all this is the doctrine of Idealism. The teachings of the Idealists have held sway only at intervals, and then but a short time; and yet they have produced the great est names in history: Abra- ham Lincoln, the altruist; Pestalozzi, the philanthropy ist; and last but by no means least-the Christ. Such is the contrast between these two opposing theories!
 LEADERS OF MEN.
 It must be patent to all then, that Idealism makes for progress. But what is. Idealism? It is a doctrine of ideals. But what are ideals? Ideals are visions resultant upon ideas, as the name im- plies. Hence, it is self-evi- dent that an ideal is a mental will-o'- the wisp. A trueideal is unattainable! For the moment a man attains what ever he regarded as an ideal, it is no longer an ideal but a realty. An ideal is to the thinking man what the North Star is to the mariner; a far distant guiding light in the darkness. To few is given the power of vision, and when the seer has arisen amongst us, the ignorance of the masses and the bitter ness of the classes have com bined to persecute the pro- phet. The life of an ideal list is truly "a cross indeed. :" Then why not forsake it?' Because the power of vision begets the power of resist ance. If these leaders of men could look into the future and could count the cost they would never dare face the awful trials. But

HOLBROOK SCHOOL NEWS

School. Professor J. 0.
 Creager, Principal of the
 Northern Arizona Normal
 school at Flagstaff, was the
 chief speaker of the evening.
 In a pointed address, Prof.
 Creager told of the serious shortage of teachersthrough- out the country, and showed the detriment this would prove be to the citizenship of the people. He specially urged the public "todo their own thinking and a little more;;" pointing out that what the world needs today is thinkers. The speech was well illustrated by apt quota tions; good use being made of the philosophy of life as set forth by that "home- poet, Walt Mason.
 The diploma presentation was made by Judge Thomas, who heartily congratulated the students on their achieve ment. Judge Thomas, who is president of the school board, then urged the neces- sity for greater cooperation between the school and the community. He pointedly remarked about the present comparison of labor and the professions, but added that shouldnot deter anyone from striving after a good educa- tion.
 The High School graduate was Harry Saunders, who recently entered for an ex-  animation for a free scholar ship to enter the University of Tucson. The title of his graduating address was "The History of Education in Arizona, to which was set forth the amazing develop ment of education in Arizona from the time of the first mission school to the univer- sity of today.
 The eighth grade graduat-. ing class included Mae Ellis, Katherine Rees, Winnie Greer, Madelon Easley, Fay Graf, Joseph Koury and Charlie Thomas. Fay Graf read to the audience a bio graphical sketch of the class which was as clever as it was amusing. Mary Buck, the last years Freshman, then made a speech of welcome to the new Freshmen, calling each by name and present. ing each with a suitable souvenir of the occasion.
 Professor Dolman then gave a short talk to the stud ents, strongly advising them to make the best of their time, and urging them to strive to achieve the same that Harry Saunders had done.
 Katherine Rees and Mae Ellis entertained the audi cene with pianoforte solos; and a quartette comprising Mrs. Carter and Johnston and Messrs. Carter and Stokes gave an excellent rendition of that exquisite lullaby, Sweet and Low. "
 Theremainder of the even- ing was then devoted to a reception in the auditorium, and dancing completed the program.

America is big enough and good
enough for him.
"By the term "Americansm" he
includes everything good and typical
ly American. But it is not by
promise that he lays claim to high
office. He has done things as COVER
nor of this state. Politically, he has
revolutionized it. Hiram w. johnson
literally regenerated our great and
glorious state. When he first took the
oath of governor he found deficit of
S250,000, and when he resigned to
take his seat in the United States
senate there was balance of $1,000
600 to the good of the states
treasury.
Countless are his numerous
dealings with labor. Everytime it
was right, he went further than
asked, and when it was wrong, he
was not afraid to say so.
"Hiram w. Johnson is a positive
man of strong character.
"That united labor would endorse
Hiram W. Johnson as its true friend
was but natural because he has earned
it as governor of this great state tor
many years, and the American Fed
Grafton of Labor cannot do anything
better in accordance with its economic
political principles than give johnson
it's political endorsement for the
president of the United States and
stay by it until he is elected, because
he is the only true friend of all the
candidates that have been mentioned
for the office.
True, there were one or two Off
cials of the San Francisco labor
council the other day, when labor
met to pass on the economic political
principle of the American Federation
of Labor, who declined to vote.

hands were tied by the great Amer

LABOR COMES OUT.
FOR JOHN SON As.
NEXT PRESIDENT
official Organ of California
State and Local Building
Councils Endorses CalHOr-
MAS FaUOrite Son.

SAN FRANCISCO, April IT.
"Organized Labor" the official paper
of the California State and local
building trades councils in its current
issue endorses Hiram Johnson for
president until the Sierras fall"
A full page editorial in part
follows:
"If the convention which meets at
Chicago in June were composed of
union building artisans, laborers and
mechanics, Hiram w. johnson would
be rendered the nomination for presi-
dency of the United States of North
America by unanimous vote born
on an ovation that would reach from
coast to coast, and reverberate from
the Sierras over the Rockies unto the
smallest dell of fir in the North to the
pine clad hills of the South.
"Were it union labor convention,
Johnson would get such a start for
the White House that he could not
stop for a breathing spell until he ar
rived at the office in Washington, D..
c., among the hurrahs of five million
men and the millions of women who
work for a living.
"Could the citizens of the nation
but realize one tenth of things that
Hiram w. Johnson has done as gov
ernor of California they would
insist with the voters of the golden
state that Hiram w. johnson be our
next president. And if it were posi-
BILE to get the truth into action, Hiram
w. Johnson would land in the presi-
dents chair, as if fired out of a long
range, rapid canon. straight for the
target, while Wood and his play
mates were running away seeking a
safe hiding place in the tall timber
of the North.
"But national political conventions
are not run that way. They have a
peculiar way of their own. 1t is
usually the least deserving that buys
the biggest boost, or has it bought
and thrown his way.

money to spend, and he is the poor
mans friend.

OF DAILY NEWSPAPERS
C. J. Columbus of D. G. Merchants
Association Gives Address
in Detroit.

DETROIT, Mich, August 10 tSpe-
ciaD the backbone of
human evolution, may be regarded as
the fundamental of any organization,
according to Charles j. Columbus,
secretary of the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' Association of Washington,
who spoke last night before the con-
vention of Associated Retail Secre-
taries, in session here.
1T is the means by which all prog
ress is made" said Mr.. Columbus
without it stagnation results. But
information. to be truly information
must be absolutely reliable and be-
yond the pale of impeachment. It
must not only have current interest
value. but likewise be constructive
and exercise a vital influence upon
the class of trade affected or to be az
fected."
Mr.. Columbus advocated the care
full reading of the daily newspapers.
Il know of no newspaper that de-
sires to do anything but tell the truth
in its columns. but it happens some-
times that publications are the vic
Tins of transformation, SO that the
duty Of the mercantile organizations
is to keep watchful eye and give
the fullest measure of truthful in
formation to- publications to the end
that business welfare in general NAV
best be served. This has been. and
still Is, more than ever necessary on
account OF the stressful period of nm
fair criticism to which the retailer
has been subjected"

"GAS" QUALITY REDUCED
TO INCREASE QUANTITY
Bureau of Mines Test Shows Boil
ing Point of Motor Fuels
Is Higher.

Refiners. in efforts to keep up with
consumption of gasoline. have re-
duced quality TO increase quantity,
the bureau of mines announced on
completion of its summer test of
motor fuel.
To obtain sufficient gasoline TO
supply this demand. il has evidently
been necessary for the refiners to cut
deeper into the crude oil. thus adding
somewhat to the amount of high boil
ing material marketed as motor gaso-
line" says a report of the bureau on
the subject.
Domestic consumption of gasoline
increased 26 per cent for the first five
months of 1920 over the same period
last year. In 1919 total consumption
for the period was 1.217.S79649 bar
rels, against 1,4tS,534.063 in 1920, an
increase of 290,654,4li barrels.
The average boiling point for the
summer test this year was found to
be 277 degrees, against 265 degrees in
test made in April of last year. and
264 degrees for the winter test last
January. The report stated that at
least two samples show evidence of
being adulterated with kerosene" and
that four others showed careless re-
filming, if not actual adulteration."
