HUrkhead, local automobile man. has returned from q several weeks stay in Chicago While there he was joined by Harry Tritle, and the two of them together in tn. course or several days rambling around the city came to the conclusion mat there are not only worse places man Arizona in which to live, but that higher
 Money, according to Burkhead, is the cheapest thing in the east. This is not ms opinion. but that of several we'll hhoWn bankers who addressed d ban 4uet at which he was present At the present time. the speakers stated. the Gnlted States is enjoying it's greatest period Of prosperity. But the prosper fly Of the present time is nothing com pared with that which $ to come. The apex of the era has not been reached ana will not for some time.
 Due to the fact that money is 50 plentiful in the east in fact, much more so than in the west, prices are mounting way in advance of anything Tn this section of the country
 Burkhead's attention was first drawn to the variance in prices be- 4 ween Chicago and Phoenix when he ehdeaVored to purchase d small lodge emblem. which sells in Phoenix for dpout S3- lie was amazed when the price requested was just four times that Their curiosity aroused. Bark- head and Tritle started out on a tour or investigation. They priced various articles in clothing store including everything from suits and shoes to heckWear. The suits they found were rom $25 to $40 higher than here. while the shoes were proportionately higher

MADAME ALDR|CH. 4 NOTED SINGER, MAY
 GIVE CONCERT HERE

That Phoenix may have the oppor- tunity of hearing Madame Aldrich dramatic soprano, formerly with the Metropolitan Grand Opera company day by friends of the singer who are urging her while here to make ar engagements for a, concert later in the season.
 Madame Aldrich would not discuss the plan. declaring she came here to pass d few days with her husband, Emmett Davis, who is in Arizona on business.
 Later. perhaps" was all she said when the demands became too insist ant.
 Madame Aldrich does not show the strain of her two years of active war work, having completely recovered from the nervous break down she suffered and which forced her after months of work 'to give uD her Red Cross and other war activities. An unusually handsome woman with great magnetic charm, she has attracted all who have met her during her brief stay here. Delighted with Phoenix she has extended her visit which was to have been for day or two to sev- eral days, and will not leave here until Tuesday.
 "The only place to live is in the west. says the prima donna who has lived in many cities of the globe. She was living in Berlin when war was declared, and with her two attractive young children returned home as a war refugee.
 It was then she gave her time to war work. abandoning the brilliant career to which she will soon return Madame Aldrich is said to be the youngest grand opera, singer to have made her debut in New York, sing ing at the Metropolitan when she was only 9 years old. She is but a few years older now. even more distin- guished in appearance. Her complex ion is delightfully."- fresh and young. and dimples give her a charming youthful look. Her eyes of expressive blue often laugh, for Madame Aldrich says she is supremeIy happy and nothing but happiness counts

SIX PHOENIX MEN ON TRADE EXCURSION ID
 MAzATLAN, MEXICO

Mexico is one great country, accord ing to State Auditor Jesse l.. Boyce, who has ~ducked out' or otherwise left the United States and hit for the south. the auditor writing Wednesday afternoon from Cumeral that he was happy always and that he surely would come back. His deputy, M. S. Stanley, haStens to assure all con- cerned. in case anybody is concerned. that the state poodle is all present and accounted for.
 The auditor is with a party of S4 American boosters who are making 1 trip from Nogales, Ariz., to Mazatlan. Mexico. the party leaving Nogales on Wednesday morning and being due back there on the night of February 13. Most of the members are NogaleS men; some come from California and six are representatives of Phoenix. The Phoenix delegation, besides Boyce, includes Judge Thomas Armstrong. Jr., J. D. Halstead, T. E. Rowlands, C. B. Welch and H. Holler
 Cumeral is d town along the South ern Pacific, approximately 100 miles south of Nogales, Mexico where the. engine stops for water but it is under stood that the passengers are not fol lowing the good example of the engine. Boyce slides delicately over that sup- ject.
 In his letter to Deputy Auditor Stan ley he praises the Mexican country apparently finding much to satisfy him there. and elicits no interest in that engine whatever. Politics occupy the auditors mind slightly, the excursion party including second democrat tie candidate for governor of Arizona, he being the first in the excursion list The other candidate, Al Bernard, is a former Tucson councilman and now a member of the Nogales chamber O. commerce.
 The party was due at Hermosillo Wednesday night and is presumed to be in Guaymas today, good time hay ing been made all along the run. Mex ican government and municipal offi- cials are reported welcoming the Americans at every stop for the thirsty engine to liquor up. The Mexicans it is reported. extend their welcom>e with the corks thrown away, while the grateful Americans talk Spanish vol ubly by just saying and endessly re- beating. 'Viva,"

DEMOCRATS HAVE NOT SET CONVENTION DATE

Where have all the democrats gone ? Or if they haven't gone anywhere why don't they stick around home O nights and answer the telephone? The Ari- zona Republican sought seven promin- ent democrats last night and sue ceeded in raising just one.
 Attorney General Wiley F. Jones might have been home but his teIe- phone was taken out recently, and Land Commissioner W. A. Moeur might have been home, but no number ap- peared for him in the book. Moeur's deputy, Ben R. Clark, was called in vain. Corporation Commissioners Amos A. Betts, F. A. Jones, and D. F. Johnson, all failed to answer their phones
 Finally one lone democrat, Charles R. Howe of the state tax commission answered the bell and gave the desired information. Somebody had asked whether the democrats had set a date yet for their state convention and he said .'No.'

 Harmon For Sheriff

The campaign for the democr- atic nomination for sheriff is al- most over, and 1 say without fear of the result. that approach election day on August 10th. with ever co nfidence of being nomin- ated for Sheriff by the democracy of Franklin County, 1 do not say this from what l personally know but from what my friends say from all over the county. I further base what I say on the fact that Sid Crawford never did when he had opposition receive a majority of the votes cast. The first race he made he received only little over 490 votes and in the third race he received a little over 600 votes when he had op- position; and it is not reasonable to suppose or unsual to think he will get more votes in this his fourth race than in the third or previous race.
 You never heard of candidate tor the same office getting moro votes in the fourth than in the third race.

There is a nice jail for such per- sons and they will wake up with their toes pointing heavenward the first time they try to pull such a stunt on me. 1 will not walk around and ask some citizen to make an affidavit or POINT them out to me and 1 will get them, as l have done.
 Sid Crawford will heve when his present term expires, drawn between 15 and 20 thousands of of dollars from the office. Is he the only man capable of enjoying the honors? It is poor encourag- ement to you or the aspiring young men of today, for him to break the democratic custom.

 1 will appreciate the support of all, ladies and gentlemen, who beleive in the equal enforcement of the law. Iregret that there has been mudslinging in this campaign, and hereby apologize to the good people of Franklin County. 1 1assure you that 1t has not been my desire or wish to conduct the campaign as 1t has been, but you know the bunch that has been fighting me. 1 had to use the same method they did in self defence.

I want to know so that l can tell the people. Our friend has an opponent and this shows who they are supporting.

 talk one way and work another, or look one way and push another but they are for Sid Crawford. Their campaign manager June P. Clayton made a hurry up trip to Clarksville to get a letter from the Prosecuting Attorney of Johnson County. He got it. It's pages showed love and effection and glowed in terms glittering as to how he appreciated Sid Crawfords help and the Bud Dowd murder and moonshine raid cases. It complimented Sheriff Crawford for his rnagni- ficient style in uncovering crime and enforcing the law. This letter was many weeks after the trial and Hartsell Ragan would never have thought of same had not this man Clayton with a high powered car refreshed his mem. ory and persuaded him to write such as he did.
