Tombstone epitaph. (Tombstone, Ariz.) 1887-current, 1921-10-02

IN regard 10 conditions in that part OF
the county:
Since the first OF the year We have
heard much about hard times; that
the future looked blue; that money
was scarce and that things were out
of joint generally During the last
seven months this was practically
true, but things have changed 1t is
peculiar trait of humanity to let
their thoughts run in certain groove
and are loath to shift them into an
other. 1t oftens requires a shock, or
collision to switch them to another
track. Many resent being interferred
with and delight to hug their phan.
toms, which have become their con-
slant companions. The phantoms OF
hard times have been cherished by so
many Of us that we often feel it an in
reference with our boosted personal
liberty to have any one attempt to
shatter them.
There is no longer any valid reason
why this mental condition should ex-
list in this community. Beautiful rains
have fallen: the feed question for an
other year is entirely eliminated.
Good crops have been produced by
the farmers. the stock on the ranges.
in pastures and the dairy herds are
in excellent condition. Every week
for about one month, IL carloads Of
cattle have been shipped out Each
car brings in at least $1,000 OF $780,
900 per month. The S. P. railroad,
the sreamery and other industries Dis
tribute another $4,000 per month;
the salaries paid by the mercantile
houses, the banks and the mechanics
I in the garages, the teachers in the
public schools, the sale of farm pro-
ducts, will run another $4,000. or
total Of about 100000 per month. We
have not taken into consideration the
hay crops, the bean crops and other
staples. which the farmers will dis
pose of later. nor the heavy cattle
shipments which will go out later in
the fall
Every dollar that comes in and Is
put into circulation, passing from
hand to hand, in sixty days. will pay
$40 OF Indebtedness. So sufficient
money is now being put into circula-
ton every month in this locality to
iiquidate 100000 Of indebtedness
every sixty days.
II you count the population. begin
ming with Klondyke on the north to
the Riggs settlement on the south in
elusive, and from the tops of the Dos
Cabezas mountains on the east to the
Dragons inclusive on the west and
We doubt if We can scare up 1000 in
habitants. This gives monthly cir
culation of SIS per capita. or suffi-
cient money to pay $3.50 of indebted
ness per capita every 60 days
We have interviewed every bust
ness man during the last few days
The universal verdict is that business
has been much better and money
mere easy during the last two weeks
than in any corresponding period
during the last seven months. The
results of the distribution above men
toned is already being felt, and in
short time is bound to place us on
normal basis.
There is no suffering here Every
body has sufficient food, shelter and
clothing. We do not know the true
meaning Of the '-ord ",oyertv." What
community can make a better show
ing? Why talk hard times any long
err? Why harp on depression? Why
spread gloom when the sun is shin
ing around usa We are emerging
from the shadows into our old time
prosperity and in few more months
will have forgotten that depression
ever existed.
