A Thinkinq Campaion

That the people of the United States do not seem to be exhibiting great of interest in the present presidential campaign is report that is coming in from numerous parts of the country The contrast with previous national campaigns is wide one. it is said. Where Governor Cox has peared his extended speaking the people naturally have become less enthusiastic and have gathered to and hear presidential candi- date The few occasions which Senator Harding has journeyed Marion been notable in point of crowds and interest while numerous dee gations have gathered the senator's home but taking the country whole. it is declared that nothing like the time interest is being shown in this presidential campaign
 We are inclined to believe that this is erron- impression; that it is a mistake to infer that the people this country interested. and nightly interested. in selecting the president and deciding upon the policies which to dictate the future of America and the welfare of her people,
 The difference is that this is a thinking cam pafgn The people. in considering these national questions and in approving condemning the posi- candidates vital questions, are using their heads and not their lungs. They thinking instead of shouting.
 The noisy campaigns score of years are in sharp contrast the campaign of this year. The torch light parades. the fambeaux the fancy capes and top hats and the trick drill squads have gone discard and today the people do their presidential choosing quiet and serious manner noisy, but just effective and more in keeping seriousness of the occasion Shouting has given way to newspaper reading
 Anyone who in this development general lack of interest present presidential campaign has deceived in the change from the old to the new way.

GLENDALE. Sept. 26-The follow ing is statement by Prof. Duncan McRuer principal of the Glendale high school. asking that the families CO., operate with the school along advisory lines in making better citizens:
 Now is the time when the boy who has been at work through the summer vacation needs a, bit of fatherly advice and counsel In the first place it is hard for him to give up paying job and settle down to the grind of school training. with his pay check at the end of the week. some years in the future And secondly the money which he has saved through the vacation often tempts the boy to spend foolishly, if not harmfully, just at the opening of school.
 Busy fathers and mothers should by all means find time during these trying and unsettled days for the boy, to talk over future plans and pros poets with him. With the average adult today and the immediate to- morrow is the all important time, they live here and now. But with the youh of IA to 20 years of age. the pres ent, today. is pulling against the future of tomorrow, and he hardly knows what he wants to do. He wants to make more money here today and still he wants that training which he feels will in- crease his chances for success in the living tomorrow Save the boy from himself. may well be the sincere pray CT of all who are interested in the fu- ture of Glendale and vicinity. The city and school authorities are co-operat- ing in the closest possible way to the end that the boys and girls of this community may early assume the re- sponsibility of good citizenship and civic pride. Parents should have large faith in the schools. especially such schools as Glendale has. but a good school cannot cure all bad habits, and after the school has done san it can do there yet remains a large respon- sibility for the home. The home plus school. is the best guarantee against Bolshevism."

stance, before you do a home, you will find that at the end of a few months your furniture will have decreased in value, it will have cost you something for the upkeep and you really have no place to put it. But purchase a home first, then you will have something that is really your own and also place to put the luxuries. If you buy the luxuries first soon you will find that you have neither home nor luXu- ries. If more people would buy homes then there would be less living in apartment houses and consequently less money paid out for a bunch or rent receipts. Also, there would be less paying of installments on pianos and other luxuries. before there is a place for them in a home owners home.

The Toll of careIessness

Fifteen thousand people were killed last year motor accidents according to statistics. In ad- dition this there 150,OO0 others less seriously injured. These figures should very serious thought for they that Al persons each day, almost in every hour of the day and night paid with their lives in motor accidents for the carelessness of With the number of motor growing rapidly and the streets becoming congested, this startling toll of death and injury seems certain to increase.
 Every city and town in the country is faced with this problem of regulating traffic and safe guarding the citizens that this death roll may not grow. but be decreased. It is a difficult problem a great measure it is due to the care essness of the people and the motorists. There are of course, everywhere people driving motor who unfit wheel, who are needless of the welfare of the general public reproach to the large body of careful motorists. But it may be said unquestionaby that large majority of those who drive motor exercise praiseworthy in protecting pedestrians and those in They have the terrible consequences of careless drv ing and they of their way safeguard people to keep their record clear in that iIne and not join the already large class of careless and indifferent drivers
 Responsibility for accidents that often result in death injury frequently lies with pedestrians. They violate rules of safety. they take chance" and the penalty heavy. Laws are made for the regulation of motor traffic the observance of the motorist They compelled obey them arrest is imminent. But there should be coopera- ton between motorists and the public in fol- lowing rules of safety if this injuries is to be reduced. A campaign of education among the people as among the motorists should be organized and pursued and there should be penalties provided for violation safety by pedestrians we'll as by drivers. Pedestrians who do not exercise proper caution often sponsible for accidents than the motorists. Speed ing and reckless driving of the of he driV is made to become principal in a serious accident through carelessness of his own.
 Education and the proper laws, with adequate penalties for violation by pedestrian well motorist, seems be the only remedy big problem that confronts the people of city.

This Is a Case of Love at First Sight-And How It Happened

I have found my ideal home. Since coming to Phoenix I have been wan dering, in a more or less aimless man ner. to be sure, through the residence sections of the city looking at the diff ferent houses and trying to decide which one l wanted There are some awfully attractive little homes in Phoenix and the more I looked the more confused I became.
 Finally. however. a little stucco house on a most attractive corner took my eye and I immediately went in pur suit of the company holding it for sale. This company happened to be the Home Builders, with offices in the Home Builders building, and J. F. Tracy, the secretary. with whom I talked regarding the purchase of the house, was so nice about explaining the plan by which the Home Builders sell their houses.
 This particular house with which l have become enamored, is. I am sure you will all agree, simply adoraDIe. Just glance at the picture and see if I'm not right It is one story high, is on a coSner. which adds so much to the attractiveness of it 1 think and is modern and up to date to the most minute detail There is a large living room with the grandest big windows, a dining room that is just as attrac- tive as the living room and a kitchen that would make the sternest business woman forget all about typewriters and telephones and turn to salads and roasts. can already see myself garbed in a big apron and armed with stove litter. And there are also two lovely bedrooms and big screened porch.
 One of the very incest things about this house is that the built in buff fets, cupboards, etc, were put in by the blaming mill that is owned by the Home Builders and which is the larg est in the state. The house, by the way is entirely new.
 There is a big porch on the front, the very kind of porch that can be made so "homey' with the addition of a few chairs, a rug or two and ham mock I should think that a porcn like. that would be especially desirable in this climate where there is so much sunshine.
 And I wish that my women readers could see the garage! For, besides be- ing perfect as far as the housing of the family automobile is concerned one side of il is completely equipped for laundry purposes. That is new one to me-doing the laundry in the garage. but the plan sounds ideal.

 Banking Protection
 The First National Bank of Glen dale is now installing one of the newest and most modern of bank protection devices. The inner part of the vault is lined with steel and all of this is connected up with an electric circuit. To this is attached a huge bell outside of the bank and another to the station house. The minute the circuit is broken by some one the bell starts ringing and gives out the alarm. Ac- companying this is a time lock device so that the vault may remain open during banking hours. The reason for this is to protect the depositors and in these days of acetylene torches such a protection is deemed necessary. Closes Years Work Reverend James T.. Ferris has just ] completed his years work and at the regular board meeting held last Friday night he was asked to return with an i increase in salary.
