ROAMER DID NOT
 CARRY 1000 TONS

Through a combination Of chance misfortune and general unwonte1 speed it was made to appear in Suncay mornings Republican that Roamer car belonging to J. w. Lemons or Pearce, Arizona had made a great rec ord by travelling all of 90 miles during it's life and during that time had ire ouently carried from 500 to 1000 tons of tungsten ore This is of course preposterous and no one was supposed to believe it even though 1t did appear in The Republican.
 The story was curious combination of typographical errors. It shoulc have read that the Roamer had travelled 90. 900 miles over the rough reads of Arizona and on many occasions had carried from 500 to 1000 pounds of ore in it's tonneau. Of course d Roamer is supposed to do most anything, but no doubt one which carried a thousand tons wouIc not last more than 90 miles and no one would ask it to, but car which will travel 90,000 miles over the unpaved roads of this state and carry a heavy load of ore besides is a force to be reckoned with.

GREAT DRIVE ID GET
 CHURCH FUND |S SET FUR APRIL 25 TO MAY 2.

Thorough organization for the finan- cial campaign of the Interchurch World movement is being perfected for Ari- zona. MT. Raley of the field depart ment and MT. Hoover of the survey de- partment will continue their work in their respective departments during the campaign, but will cooperate in every way possible in making the fi
 nancial drive a success.
 The immediate machinery being set up for the prosecution of the financial campaign is as follows: One state campaign director, J. O. Sexson, has been selected for this position. Second, the state is divided into three districts, for which three districts men are be- ing selected. who will work under his direction. Third, each county will have an interchurch director. Fourth, each community will have its director. This is the first part of the machine, di- rectly under the supervision of State Director Sexson. In addition to this, each denomination will have a state campaign director. The Baptists have selected Col. l.. W. Coggins; the Meth odists, $. J. Rogers; the Presbyterians, Dr. J. c. Norton. Other denominations have not yet made their selections, but will do so immediately. Each denomi- nation will have e county director, in those counties where they happen to have work. This may seem like an overlapping Of machinery, but is is not. as the state denominational men will be in constant touch with Mir. Sexson, and the county men of each denomi- nation, together with the county inter- church director. will be in close touch with each other and coordinate all their plans. At the same time each denomi- national man is confining himself strictly to his own denomination so far as his operations are concerned.
 A very thorough listing of all names in every community is to be made. They are to be grouped in two classes "A' and sfB' Class 4 will include those who belong to church or who are in some way related to an individual church. Class E will include all of those who are friendly and interested in the work

CONTEST DRAWING TO CLOSE;
 14 DAYS ARE LEFT

The platform contest closes in four teen days. Young voter. can you write 1920 platform for the republican party in fourteen days? The prizes are $500 for the first, $500 for the sec ond, and $200 for the third best plat forms for the republican party in 1920. Only young men an6 women who are not over 9 years of age are eligible. And they must be residents Of Arizona.
 These are the salient facts as to the statewide platform contest, conducted under the auspices of The Republican following a gift of sf.000 by ''an Arizo- ma citizen, to promote interest on the part of young men and women in the needs of their country.
 Parents are urged to encourage an interest on the part of their sons and daughters in this contest, but they must also counsel haste. for all mailu- scripts must be in by March 31.
 Copies of the same manuscript may be sent--if mailed by March 22- to the national platform contest being conducted under the auspices or the republican national committee. The rules of both contests are similar. The prizes in the national contest are $6.0o0 for the first, s3.000 for the second, and s1 900 for the third.
 Even if the prizes were not well worth working for-and the effort re- quired to write a platform for the re- publican party this year is by no means extreme-the educative value should be considered; the preparation of a platform this year should be tho founda tion of an abiding interest in the nations affairs. it's problems, its poli- cies, an6 this interest, in the last afl- alysis, by reason of it's enduring char acter, is as much patriotism as that which is evidenced by flag waving. lip service, or soldering in time of stress and crisis.
 The judges of the manuscripts are not looking forward to passing upon plat forms turned out by persons wise in the art Of platform making. The donor Of tho S1. 900 in prizes invited young 6em- ocrats to enter the contest. He drew no hard and fast lines, admitting re- publicans only. The S1.000 contest is open to all young men and women Of the state--the national contest, on the other hand is open to the young men and women of the entire country But the statewide contest should be tue first consideration of the young Ari- zona contestant.
 Each contest requires four typewrit- ten copies of the manuscript ono signed statement to the effect that the is not more than p years If age The rules of the contest are well known. Queries and manuscripts should be addressed The Arizona State- wide Platform Contest care The Ari& zona Republican. Phoenix. Aanu- scripts for the national contest should be sent to the Walker Blaine Bealo Contest. care The Republican National Committee, 923 Woodward Building, D. C.. and should be mailed on March 9. Nine days later le statewide platform contest closes.
