INTERESTING PARTY
 IF GLOBE TROTTERS
 ARRIVES IN PHOENIX

An interesting party of globe trotters arrived in Phoenix yesterday in specially built touring car. The party is making a tour of 175.000 miles around the world and is in charge or capt Walter WanderweU, lecturer and writer of considerable note. The party is spending three or four days in Phoe- nix taking moving pictures or the ln- teresting parts of the city which will be shown at the local theaters at some future date.
 Capt Wanderwe1l. who is known as a world wide traVeler, started to walk around the world from Posen, Poland, in 1912 at the age of r. He is na- tive of Poland and his right name is Valerian John Pieczynski, but for the sake of convenience to those who have to spell the name in writing about him, and so people would not confuse him with the Russian soviet commissars, he has assumed the easier pseudonym of Wanderweli, which is particularly fitting in view of the fact that he has been wandering around the world since ea~lv youth.
 T. he outbreak of the world war found him in Atlanta, Ga, where he was ar rested and detained as a German spy. but afterwards was released and went to Europe. serving as a photographer with the British army. After the war he returned to Atlanta, organized the present party and started again on his tour, this time by auto instead of on foot
 Accompanying Capt. Wanderwen are his wife, who was with him when he chanic, Ruby Klass, photographer, and Walter Roth, cameraman.

RAISES QUESTION AS ID MEET TING IF THE LAND BOARD
Governor Makes Inquiry as
 to Its Legality-Mentions
 Matters of Boards Re neWal of Oil Land Leases

The question of the legality of the meeting of the land board last Tues day, called in the absence of the gov ernor, the chairman of the board. while still in the state though not in the city, was raised by the governor yes terday in the following inquiry direct ed by the governor to the attorney general. This question would, perhaps. not have been raised but the renewal of certain oil and land leases in the Holbrook district for q period of two years:
 My Dear MT. Jones:
 Upon my return from Florence and Globe yesterday, found upon my desk a copy of the minutes of the meeting of the land board, held on May 9, 1920, at which action was taken au- thoriZing the state land commissioner to issue to holders of oil prospectors' leases a renewal of such leases for a period of two years, for the considera- ton of a payment of $100 for each 40 acres leased.
 will you kindly render me an opin- ion as to the right of the state land board to hold such meeting when not called by the governor and at a time when the latter Is within the confines of the state and carrying on his off cial duties2
 The matter was brought to my at tention and occasioned this request by reason of the fact that in the posses sion of my office at the time the said meeting was held was certain informa- : tion regarding the leasing of state oil lands. Had I been given the oppor- tunity to present these facts to the board I am certain that a very inter- esting light would have been thrown upon this situation and the actior taken perhaps would not have been ot a favorable nature.
 '.Thanking you in anticipation o1 an early opinion by your department on this subject, I remain.
 Sincerely yours,
 THOMAS F. CAMPBELL,
 Governor"
 Though the reply of the attorney general has not yet been transmitted
Arizona republican., 1920-05-28

the attorney general stated yesterday that undoubtedly the power of ma jority of the board to call meeting was found in the language Of subdlVl- sion 2, section 5552 General RroVl- sions' of the revised statutes: "Al words purporting to give joint au- thOrity to three or more public officers or other persons shall be construed as giving such authority 10 a majority Of such officers or other persons unless il shall be otherwise expressly declared in the law giving the authority.
 In defense of the action of the board in renewing the leases, the attorney general yesterday issued the following statement:
 'eThe Iessees of state lands for graz ing purposes are paying but SI9.zO per section annually but such q section or land, leased for grazing purposes, may also be leased for purposes of oil pros meeting and oil development at $50 per wear or SlO0 for the two-year lease, and if oil is developed the lessee. in addition to the $50 per year. must pay the state six per cent of the oil pro duced as a royalty to the state. Ihe law requires the department fix the price at five times that amount, to- wit, S100 per section, which Is paid into the state by all persons recetV- ing oil leases.
 "The state has received approximate ly S1O0,000 for oil leases. The necessity for the renewal of oil lease was brought about by reason Of the fact that individual holders desired to con solidate their holdings into larger bodies in order that a proposition to develop might be made more attrac- tive to those with capital. Capital re- fused to undertake the drilling on
 these lands until a renewal or the lease was assured. The renewal of oil leases was not for the purpose of en- couraging speculation, but the object was to make possible the early de veIopment of oil. Oil leases are grant ed under regulation of the land de- pertinent, these regulations being very similar to those adopted by the diff ferent oil producing states of the United States Speculation in oil or any other class of state leases is to be expected and is a matter over which the land department has no control.

PIANO INDUSTRY
 GROWING RAPIDLY
Redewill and Arizona Piano Go. holding large sales of pianos to clean out stocks to make ready for big fall business.

The Redewin Music company which was just recently absorbed by the Arizona Piano company, owned and controlled by Eugene and Victor Redewin have decided to call in all the pianos at their various agencies and place them on sale in Phoenix immediately.
 The combined companies are holding a sale of the large stock of pianos belonging to both companies besides several carload shipments that arrived a few days ago and the action of calling in their sub agency pianos and players was de- cided on after a forecast shortage of pianos to meet immediate de- mands.
 After the first of the year when the Redewill Music company will occupy double their present floor space, the Arizona Piano company will deal solely in wholesale pianos, but until that time the entire stock of pianos of both companies scat tered throughout the state will be sold.
 Tn speaking of the future in the piano business, Eugene Redewill said: Since the country has gone dry there has been a demand for pianos nearly unbelievable in num- Der, at least the supply only comes up to one quarter the demand" We are going to sell every piano available, including present stocks of both our companies, rental pianos and pianos without branEh agencies, commencing immediately, to make room for our fall improvements which will bring our warerooms first in size in the southwest" In Los Angeles there are many supply houses for the coast trade, but in Arizona outside of ourselves there are no wholesale business, thus it is necessary that we carry a larger stock of pianos than any one con cern on the coast, to supply the entire Arizona trade. We will sell out everything to nxalze room for trainloads that will arrive for our new enterprises which will prob ably open in time for our holiday trade.
 Advertising is a small item con- sidering the large volume of busi- ness we do. The Republican is most instrumental in getting the results, owing to it's large circulation among readers who buy pianos"

A WAY OUT

Premier C9emenceau gave the rec ribbon of the legion of honor to an old acquaintance of his who had done important work for France in the war. The recipient of the decoration was de- lighted and at the same time en- barrassed because the large beard, which he had worn for years, hid the honor badge from view.
 'EOh. that is easily remedied." Glenn enceau said to him when told of the dilemma. Just cut a window about shoulder high in your whiskers and the ribbon will show through it nicely --I1a France.

.Musr HOE THEIR oWN ROW.

A word of intended encouragement
is given to the farmers in an asser-
ton by the federal reserve board that
the great increase in population here
means an enlargement of the domestic
demand for agricultural products, and
that "our present huge crops of i'm
mense value may be expected grad
uaIly and in regular course to move
from producers to the customers"
While not all the-farmers are in Mis-
souri,. still they may want to be shown
Representations on the part of the
cotton and wheat growers that they
were being forced to offer their prod
ucts in the domestic market at less
than the cost of production, and that
only extraordinary assistance from the
government by way of a rejuvenation
of the war finance corporation could
preserve the foreign markets upon
which they now depend to recoup
their losses, have failed to move the
federal board from its position that
the resources of the federal reserve
system should not be used to influence
price trends in any particular COM
modify. andethat the boards function
is to initiate only such policies as will
tend to preserve a normal relationship
between the financial and industrial
interests of the country.
In Veply TO the direct charge that
credit required for the marketing OF
cotton was beirg withheld by the
banks in the agricultural sections. the
board answered that a survey showed
that credit had been steadily avail
able for the successive seasonal re
quirements of agriculture, as well a.
for the needs of commerce and indus
try. and that there is no ground fol
expecting that its availability for thes'
d, purposes will not continue" In fur

The Ideal Home--2.

They give to ILleve The vkry at
mosphere of the ideal nome is charged
with tenderness. 1t is a place where
a man comes, secure in the knowledge
that tho all the world turned against
him, here he would find an unques-
tioning faith that would believe in him
until the end. 1t is a place in which
a woman knows that she Will find
shelter in the aSIns of her husband,
and that he will protect her against
every harsh wind that blows
There is peace in the ideal home.
There is no arguing, nor quarrellng,
nor rancor nor reproaches. 1t Is
quiet ha-bor in which one drops
anchor after the storm and stress OF
the business day, and gathers up fresh
courage to go on with the journey OF
life
The ideal home is full of unselfish-
ness. Everybody in it is seeking the
happiness of the other rather than
their own There is praise instead of
blame. There are words of apprec1a-
ton and gratitude, instead of knocks
There is ne bitterness in self-deniai,
because the sacrifice is made for one
dearer than onself.
The ideal home is a place of cheer
The husband does not spend the eve
ming sitting up in a gloomy crouch
that sends the domestic temperature
hdown below zero. Neither does he
take out on his unoffending family
Il
cussedness that he dared not show
| customers or clients.
Nor does the wife make her home
| dumping place for her tears and tenn
pers and consider that home means q
place where she has the privilege OF
having hysterical fits, and talking
| like fishwife.
In the ideal home the man recog-
nizes that the round of domestic duties
that woman daily performs is as
imonotonous and deadly as a treadmlli,
so he makes a conscious effort 10
cheer and interest his wife. His best
stories, his snappy little record OF the
days happenings, his optimistic inter
est in everything she has been doing,
set the sun in her Heaven.
| And the wife realizes that in his
strenuous fight with the world every
/ day a man has just about all the I'M
lpleasantness that he can endure, ana
! so when her husband comes home OF
an evening she does not lay upon MS
! already overburdened-shou all the
little worries and aggravationS that
have happened to her.
| She does not meet him at the door
with the announcement that JOHNNIE
| has broken his pet meerschaum pipe.
and Tommy must be punished, ano
the landlord has raised the rent, and
| she doesn't see why he can't make
enough money to buy a car like the
Smithkirs, On the contrary, she turns
a smiling face upon him. and makes
merry over hardships, and feeds, ano
pets and cajoles him into believing
that he is the greatest man in the
world, and has the best wife and the
most delightful home.
l. The ideal home is a Heaven OF
earth Every married couple can have
one if they will, because we build our
selves the kind of home we live In.

JUST FOLKS
BY EDGAR A. GUEST.

THE MAN WHO DOES HIS DUTY WELL
The man who does his duty well need ASK
no odds of anyone.
For he can face the whole wide world and
nay his way and travel on;
There NAV be richer men than he, ana
greater men who've come to fame,
But richer man or greater man cannot eN-
Gel an honest man.
The man who does his duty well and gives
his best to every task
Has given all in. service here that life OF
any man viii ask:
The man of talent may exceed the number
hand in point of skill.
But should he grow too proud TO ton, the
genius is failure still.
The final test of life is not the distant
heights that man has reached,
The captains reputation fades IL once the
ship he sails is beached.
And he who rises high to fame may come
at last some day to see
That humber men by patient toll have
lived far nobler lives than he.
There are degrees of skill and fame; not
all mems learning is profound,
But honesty is honesty no matter where
so'er it's found.
And he who does his duty WELL Is honest.
faithful clean and true,
Is doing in life's real tests all that ~the
genius can do.
