 w. P. Stewart, editorial writer of the Douglas Dis patch and chairman of the roads committee of the Doug las Chamber of Commerce and Mnes about three weeks ago suffered wild haucnaton that the money to be used in the prosecution of this work to be openly stolen from the already appropriated fund at the nsgatOn of certain interests ill Bsbee and Tombstone thus delaying the completion of the Border land east of Douglas to the New Mexico line.

WHAT THE SAN PEDRO VALLEY NEEDS

The Casa Grande Chamber of Commerce is carrying on an extensive campaign of advertising for the Casa Grande valley. and has recently engaged secretary in the person of Miss Ellen F. Coughlin who devotin, all of her time to the one subject
 This is conclusive proof that the people of Cas-, Grande and the surrounding valley enteprisng and wide-awake citizens.
 Their campaign will be based accurate information the merits of the valley and such campaign, based on truhfulness. will reap benefits many times the cost of the work.
 The San Pedro valley, in Cochise county is sadly in need of advertising campaign. Not campaign placed the hands of high salaried person with gift gab and vivid imagination The desired results can be obtained by placing the plain truth before the public If the general public knew the truth and the full of the possibilities laying dormant in the San Pedro valley the Charleston dam project would have several thousand more boosters in Cochise county.

THE DRIVE" ABANDONED

great phanthropic organization in the East has decided to abandon the overworked 'drive" means for raising funds.
 The needs of the various charities will be kept before the public and before the business of the community by of continuous propaganda instead of by spor die attacks Regular subscriptions which shall be part of the regular monthly expenses of the individual business house. will be sought The gaining of sub scrbers the different will be carried at all times, not aggressvey but systematically and the coec tion of pledges and subscriptions will be put upon sim liar business like basis.
 The public ill most communities, is we'll educated to its responsibilities regards the unfortunate and it is not difficult to obtain subscriptions for recognzed cha table and philanthropc work but the drive often catches the giver at most nopportune time, and times is most irritating The substitution of more metho dca and less spectacular ways of raising funds will ap peal to the average contributor and will doubtless result in equally large for conducting charitable enter prises.

A MUSEUM

Tucson and Nogales have their missions of San Xavier del Bac and Tumacacor which draw tourists from all of the gaze their historic walls
 Tombstone has the Bird Cage heater famous for it $ early day prominence when it drew the outlaw and the gambler, te tenderfoot and the rrook into seethng of reckless harty to spend their rolls III the style of Goldfeld Scotty and guzze liquid fire served by the dainty bamaids, the pretest women III the west, who braved the dangers of the western frontier for love and money.
 The Bird Cage theater played the best the Orpheuni Circuit had offer and Sconed the price. It was not thing to be cassed novelty when the dazzled audi would shower the stage with $2O gold pieces 1ol- lowing a by dainty devoee of the fOOtllghts but ii novelty when the number of fights fell under a dozen The undertaking parlor located conveniently next door, and the who acted ill the capacity of us- strong i'll the back and weak in the head
 The grizzly old prospectos desert rats the gamblers the cattle thieves the eastern fugves from justice and dark pasts the stage robbers and the vests highest ciety rubbed elbows in the upoar and din of the bird Cage theater.,
 The old show house has been preserved It stands today it did thirty ago. It's interior has not aered the stage and the boxes which went to the highest bidder and caused many a bloody biaw, seem none the for their long dleness.
 Alfred Henry Lewis, in his ''Wolfvie Tales, drew a vivid and correct picture of the old Brd Cage
 This famous relic of TOmbstone's early days should be converted into museum, housing the many available exhibits the days of gold for the special benefit of the tourists and like The Alamo of San Antonio. Texas, should be for tourists to and snapshot to ther hearts content
 The old Modoc stage belongs in the Bird Cage thea ter together with other relics of the days of frontier strife It would draw visit from every tourist party travelling the Old Spanish Trails, the Bankhead Military the Dixie Overland and the Evergreen rOutes all of which use the Borderland from Fl Paso to the coast
 Of the old pioneers who evelled in the harity and woe of the Bird Cage few remaining who can relate first hand tales of it's incidents of joy apd sorrow but 1t can be made into museum that will stand as an ever. lasting monument to the memory of the time when blood and gold valued at naught.
 It is the logical disposition and future of the Bird Cage theatcr.
Tombstone epitaph., 1920-06-13

like engine that is speeded up its full work ing capacity, and lies idle part of the day.
 What you think is thinking is often just wool gather ing; day dreaming; the wasted motion of motor that turns itself all day without transmitting motion Make analysis this evening of what your mind did during the day and you will be surprised to discover that for considerable portion of the day it engaged in con- scOus activity.
 The mind is not automatic machine On the con trary it is the ndOent member of system It needs to be driven. It likes go in rus and loaf It likes the easiest way and diskes thinking things through It shms exercise.
 But despite this natural habit of ndolence, the mind contains vast of undevelOped power that qure thinking exercises to bring them out Between the thinking mind and the loafing mind there is all the diff ference between fat and muscle.
 And by the way. there is nothing refreshing to the whole physical system than spell of good conscious thinking Try it, think!

the city is the continuous round of pleasure they had dreamed They will tire of the monotony of city
