The Ascent to Mars.

The Ascent to Mars.
When Mr.. Robert Fervey Randolph,
alias Slim Hervey, chauffeur, vice Pat
rick O'Reilly, ex-driver of the Village
Cab cOmpany's No. 1898, skidded that
vehicle disastrously to the curb in
front of the Poppy club and, as re-
suit of his criminal negligence, in con-
junction with Miss Imogene Pamela
ThorntOn's reprehensible peeking Oc-
cupatiOn, hurled that young lady to the
middle of the sidewalk on her hands
and knees, he leaped from his seat on
a spontaneous impulse to help her to
her feet and administer every kind of
first comfort that the occasion seemed
to demand.
Two considerations, however, shot
from the double-barreled blunderbuss
Of RidiCule and Honor, caught him on
the wing, as 1t were, and detected
his flight from west to east with a
sharp turn due south at the corner of
Fifty-seventh street and Sixth avenue.
In the first place, out of the corner Of
his eye he had seen his Cne-time
friends, Mr.. Nearton, Mr.. Verries and
Mr.. Berry descending the shallow club
front steps in an avalanche; In the
second place, he suddenly recollected
that Miss Thornton was an heiress,
high above his present station and
intent, as he had gathered from be-
tween the lines In various advertise
ments in the local press referring to
the location of his person, on thank
ing and otherwise recompensing him
for turning to the right In a matter
Of ten thousand dollars a year, I'M
earned increment.
AS he gaZed for one too brief second
down into the pleading eyes and ador-
ably eager face of this lOvable vision
on her hands and knees, which 1t
seemed unbelievable he had once held
in his arms only the Oft-repeated
favOrite poem of his nurse:
could not love thee, dear, so much
Loved 1 not honor more,
kept him from facing the avalanche
of ridicule and giving the eternally
searching DiOgenes with his lantern
run for his money. AS previously
stated, it was not to be- Mr.. Ran
dOlph turned from the waiting arms
of the sweetest temptation ever re-
niged by man and made his swift way
to the sanctum of Mr.. Tourke
O'Shaughnessy, foreman-manager of
the Village Cab company.

dolph honklng uptown the moment he
had dropped his lacOnic fares at their
next board meeting. No one had to
tell him who Lewlsfader was; he had
been to college with that financler's
son, and II there WAS one thing above
ali others that said offspring was good
at, 1t was blowing his fathers horn.
Lewisfader was this and Lewisfader

as ANAL. |. S. & c." which had only
lately dared to swell its portentous
belly in the company OF the most de-
veloped and vicious saurians of the
financial world.
All the way uptown, Mr.. Randolph's
face was concentrated in the nearest
approach to frown of which 1t was
capable. Ee was not, however, weigh
Ing the substance of what he had heard
this way and that, for the simple rea'
son that the moment the one word,
"Lewisfader," had reached his ears, he
had seen the great light and grasped
his bunch beyond any thought Of look
ing back. That part of 1t was settled;
what worried him now was the amount
of ways and means in his pocket. BY
thinking very hard, he added up his
capital without bringing it forth to the
light Of day. The exact sum was six
fv-nicht dOI1orC and Rffu
No sooner had he passed the test in
mental arithmetic than he drew up a
little beyond the front door of the Rock
ct club. He started to leave his cab,
paused, considered, and then deliber
ately lowered the flag. AS he entered
the lobby of the club, four scandalized
fronts leaped to bar his way. They
asked him a variety of biting ques-
tions: Did he think 1t was a night
lunchwagon? Which chambermaid
was he calling on7 Was he looking for
Mills hotel?

The functionary named, head door
man for the Rocket club since first it

career, leaped from his dignifed seat
on the somnolent side lines and stared
wide eyed at the servile apparitlon
that had dared shout the open sesame
to that inviolate portal.
''Mr. Randolph? he gasped at last,
and the stunned fronts started to stink
away.
Hold on, there!" said Mr.. Randolph,
and Invested himself of cap to one,
overcoat to another, gloves to the third,
and asked the fourth for light. Her

tones, "the cab outside is waiting for

service can never be measured,

service can never be measured,
much less repaid.
AS public acknowledgement
therefore, of the fact that there is
owing to motherhood a measure of
loyalty, devotion, and honor which
can never be paid, as an outward
and visible symbol of all that our
mothers have so freely given us,
and as a token of our renewed re-
solve to strive to measure up to
their ideals for us, unattainable as
those ideals may be, it is meet and
fitting that expression be given this
great obligation, through the cele-
bration of Mothers Day, observ-
ance of which has become beauti-
full and nationwide custom.
NOW, THEREFORE,, 1 THOMAS
E. CAMPBELL, Governor Of Ari-
zona, do, by virtue of the authority
vested in me by House Concurrent
Resolution Number 8, adopted by
the Fifth Legislature, hereby desig-
nate Sunday, May the eighth, as
Mothers Day and call upon all
state officials to display the flag on
all state and school buildings, and
the people of the state OF Arizona
to display the flag at their homes,
lodges, churches and places of bus
mess, and at other suitable places,
as a public expression Of love and
reverence for the mbthers of our
beloved state, and other women
serving it, and as, an inspiration for
better homes and closer ties be-
tween the home and the Common
wealth. It is further requested, as
is the annual custom, that the SER
vices in the various churches of the
State, on this particular day, be ap-
propriate to the celebration OF
Mothers Day"
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, l have
hereunto set my hand and caused
the Great Seal of the State Of Ari-
zona to be affixed this 10th day OF
April, 1921.

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT
STATE OF ARIZONA
A Proclamation Designating Sunday
May Sth AS Mothers Day.

A frequent recurrence to funda-
mental principles, as has been set
forth in the Constitution of the
State of Arizona, is ESSENTIAL to the
security of individual rights and the
perpetuity of free government. 1t
is, also, most desirable in order that
there may be preserved and clari-
fled that true perception of values
which, amid the many distractions
of modern life, often tends to be-
come dimmed or to disappear from
our views.
1t is most appropriate, therefore
that public recognition be given to
the great debt of gratitude owing
to the mothers of America. That
such a debt exists, and that it can
never be paid, are automatic truths,
admitted by all, but too infrequent-
ly given expression. Even casual
reflection convinces us Of the fact
that what our mothers have given
to us, and to America, in devotion
in loving self-sacrifice, in unselfish

OIL THE KEY PRODUCT

The worlds supplies of petro-
leum are today everywhere attract
ing the attention and serious con-
sideration of governments and in
dustries.
The continued source of supply
and control of that supply, the
vastly increasing demand for liquid
fuel as the motive power for trans
portation of all kinds by land or
water, from the humble car owned
by the average citizen to the latest
type of battle ship bunkering over
1900 900 gallons, for power and lu-
brication in the worlds factories.
for lighting purposes and for sur
facing the enormous road mileage
which must be maintained to meet
conditions of modern mechanical
transport, are questions Of vital in
terest throughout the world
The United States is the greatest
oil producing nation in the world
and it is essential that we remain
in this position, as we are the
greatest users of oil per capita OF
any people. To do this American
oil producers must receive the CO.
operation of our government in re-
gard to development of both do
mestic and foreign problems.

MINING INDUSTRY MUST HAVE
IMMEDIATE AID

Immediate and we'll chosen action
is needed to save the domestic min
ing industry from total suspen-
sion Of operations. Such great hav-
oc is being wrought to domestic
metal prices by the dumping of for
eign metals in the United States
that it is impossible to operate pro-
fitably any kind of mine, say
Utah mining operators Only the
pegging of the price of silver at 81
per ounce by the provisions Of the
Pittman act has made it possible
for the silver mines Of the west to
continue operations. Now the price
of lead has dropped to such level
that the situation for even silver
lead mines is gloomy. With foreign
lead being dumped in the United
States, the price of the gray metal
is held at 4 cents per pound and If
this should continue it will be i'm
possible for even the silver-lead
properties to operate.
The new congress should enact
some immediate relief measure that
will save the industry without await
ing the regular tariff bill.
The Winslow mail., 1921-04-29
THE RIGHT IDEA

Normally is not a question OF
price or a question of wage. 1t IS
merely a question of fairly STEADY
employment with the dollar buying
as much as it ought to. Whether the
farmer receive fifty cents or $o50
for a bushel Of wheat, or the WORK
man receives 81 or $40 for days
work, makes no difference so long
as the bushel of wheat or day s
work will obtain as much of the ne
cessaries or comforts of life in one
case as in the other What we
mean by normal times is steady
employment, as much as in the ma
ture Of things is possible, paid for
by a stabilized dollar. In normal
times people do not live upon their
savings, but the latter accumulate,
and constitute the sole and only
form of new wealth which can be
created 1t is this which flows into
new undertakings and makes possl-
BILE a healthy expansion in industry
in supplying a sound demand-Pa-
cific Banker.

Well, perhaps southern California

Well, perhaps southern California
does need the power, but how about
Arizona? 1t is needed more here. and
every bit Of Arizona's share could
be put to use. There is no reason
under the sun why Arizona should
not become greater than southern
California, many times so, and the
development of cheap power to wa
ter the vast acreage Of rich land and
turn the wheels of industry soon
would bring this about
What good would it do this state
for the power to be developed, ther
transmitted to California? None al

at Washington than Arizona, and she
also has money and determination
