Georgia people have got to awake.
Until you come to California and
study the obstacles they have to COM
bat. and then see how well they do
overcome them and what they are
really doing here in the agricultural
ana horticultural way, you cannot
appreciate the vast opportunities be-
fore the Georgia farmer. We have
the seacoast Just as they have here
we have the mountains, just as they
have here, and we have rich soils that
do not need irrigation to make them
produce. All Georgia needs to be
the great fruit and agricultural state
they have to here to make a living at
that California is, is just hustle like
all.

that an acre Of Georgia .pecans is

most interesting part of it is, they
frankly admit it out here. Georgia
apples produce as well as they do IN
California. Pears, plums and berries
are just as good. and I would not
give one juicy Georgia watermelon
for a dozen of these out here.

is convince the Georgia people that
they can make just as much. and in
many cases more, per acre than car
be made in California
In future articles I shall tell more
of what California is doino One
thing that I shall tell you is how she
markets all this stuff after it is made
and that is lust as interesting. be-

fornia people first. Every Californ-

meet you boosting California. They

Georgia, with her wonderful possibil-

livestock growing state can be made
as famous for these things as Cali

A statement that impressed me
more than any other was made to me
few days ago by Morris M. Rath-
bun, manager of the publicity de-
partment of the Los Angeles Cham
Der of Commerce, when he said:
There is a mistaken idea gone
out from California, and especially
does this idea prevail in the East.
that all one has to do in California
is to get a few acres of land. plant
oranges, lemons, walnuts or some
other such fruit then sit down and
wait for the money to come rolling
in. We people here have to work and
we work hard, too. This is no land
for the drone. The man who comes
here and succeeds has to dig for it
just as in other sections"

CITY IS CITY IN
 CONTEMPT HEARING

The city of Phoenix has been cited to appear before the corporation commis- sion at 2 o'clock this afternoon to show cause why it should not be adjudged guilty of contempt for failure to carry out the orders of the commission in connection with the D. B. Harrar case.
 The case dates back to 1917 when the commission held it had jurisdiction over a municipal corporation acting as a public serving corporation outside the corporate limits. The question arose when the city required Harrar to install water meters, refusing to serve water under the rates of a contract which Harrar had with the city. The commission ordered the city to serve the consumer at the rate of contract in effect prior to the attempt of the city to install meters.
 The city held that the corporation commission was without jurisdiction and took the matter to the superior court which held with the commission. On the appeal the city also lost and the original question on rate will come up at todays hearing.

Miss Dora K. Elpick of this city and George W.

Mir. Har- ben, who was former assistant attorney general, spent several years in Phoe- nix, where he was regarded as a con- firmed bachelor. Frequent trips to the capital during the past few months have been explained by MT. Harben as legal business" and his explanation was never questioned. He never in timated that a romance was connected with his visits. and the news of the marriage came as a decided surprise.
 After resigning as assistant to the attorney general more than year ago, Mir. Harben went to Flagstaff, where he practiced law. He has become prominently identified with affairs in the north and is particularly active in national guard activities. He was re- gently commissioned a major in the judge advocate generals department. He left for the coast presumably for no other purpose than to attend the Democratic convention in San Fran cisco and it is understood that he went north with his bride and will return to } Flagstaff early in the coming week.

With that character istic excellence for which he is noted in roles of the style he is called upon to portray in this picture, he brings to the screen another milestone on the road of exceptional character studies. It is a red -blooded story of virile ad venture, crammed with excitement, suspense and real bullet-wift action. and cannot but find favor with all who visit the Hip during the engagement. The added attraction is a Christie comedy.
