The Home Of the Soul

In olden times, it was believed that
the seat of the soul was the stomach
most likely for the reason that a man
is never so completely used up as when
his stomach is out of order. For the
cure of ordinary stomach troubles,
there is nothing quite so prompt and
satisfactory as Chamberlain's Tablets.
They strengthen the stomach and en-
able it to perform its functions natur-
ally. Give them trial. They only
cost a quarter.

The first commercial package, 0 bundle of Republicans, and the first commercial passenger to travel from Phoenix to Miami by air will leave the state fair grounds at 9:3o o'clock Monday morning in the Apache Aerial Transportation company's airplane. The trip will be the first commercial flight between the Salt River valley and the Globe Miami region.
 Though organized several years age, tomorrow's flight marks the beginning of the operations of the Apache Aerial Transportation company. The com pany was the victim of delay after de- lay, and 1t was only recently that the plane the Apache Scout was pur- chased.
 The passenger on the trip tomorrow will be c. E. Hart. consulting engineer land general manager of the Louis dor Mining company Of Miami. MT. Hart ! is a strong advocate of aviation, and is contemplating buying plane for his ! private use. He arrived here last night from Globe. His passage for the first flight to Miami was purchased in 1917 and later refunded, but when he heard of the coming flight he promptly re- l bought it.

EXPECT S5O.0O0.O00 4 YEAR FEDERAL AID FUR
 COMING TWO YEARS

Indications are that $50 .0Oo for federal aid will be appropriated each year for the next two years according to information contained in a wire f-nm Congressman Carl Hayden to Thomas Maddock. state engineer, yes terday. Congressman Hayden also in- formed Engineer Maddock that the subcommittee of the roads committee would not report on the McArthur bill 1ntil January 24
 The wire was in response to a tcle- graphic Inquiry sent by the engineer relative to the status of the McArthur bill. An answer also was received from Senator Ashurst, to whom a query was forwarded from the highway department as follows:
 Telegram reeeNed. Have in-
 vestigated the status of tho Me-
 Arthur Highway bill, which has
 been referred to the sub committee
 which is now considering same.
 While the committee is very hope
 fuI that the bill will pass the house
 there is of course nothing eer-
 tain.--Ashurst.
 The chambers of commerce and other public organizations in the state have been urged to get in communication with Arizona's representatives in con- gress in order Co show that tho people of the state are believers in federal aid.
 Federal aid IA of great benefit to the west rather than the east and on this account the main support must come from the central states and the finance it's own road construction and. the larger burden of federal aid falls on them." said MT. Maddock.
 The state highway engineers who recently held a convention in Wash ington went on record as in favor of the McArthur bill. which may be passed by the house.
 The American Automobile associa- ton, for the first time, has admitted that the Townsend bill has no possibil- ity of passage and that the McArthur bill might pass.
 While one can appreciate the ans xiety on the part of highway officials in certain states to obtain needed money from the federal treasury" com ments Chairman George c. Diehl of the A A. A. good roads board" the plain facts in the case are that any further money from the central source de- mands National use in it's application. Exactly as states first gave ail to counties and then accepted definite state system of inter-county roads. the next cooperation to the ststes from the federal government ought to have distinct connection with an inter- state plan of big highways such as is outlined fin the Townsend bill that has the support of farm organizations, busf- ness associations, and the motor vehicle road users"

DEFLATATIoN SHOULD BE
UNIFORM

Is ii natural, is it reasonable
that prices of everything, profits
of manufacturing and farming
should be debated and only rail
road employees remain at the tep
figure of war prices2
When the farmers calrsllin has
dropped from two dollars to four
teen cents, when the sawmill price
of lumber has gone from forty
dollars a thousand to thirteen,
shall the brotherhoods be exempt?
We do not blame them if by
hook or crook or power of Con
gress or wage boards or labor
organization they can keep their
wages at the top notch while all
the rest Of us go down to bedrock.
But is it a Just proposition that
one class alone should take no
loss in the great readjuStment to
normaHty, and are we not setting
a dangerous class precedent if the
country backs their demands?

TO GROW OLD GRACEFULLY

ponds on Ones Habits of Mind

The most inevitable-and one of the
easiest-of the things we do is to grow
old. Yet what difference there is in
the way different people do it!
You probably know, for instance,
some little old lady who, although she
may not be beautiful or brilliant, Is
just "nIce"-which is apt to mean
that instead of bossing or scolding, she
tries not to be troublesome or unrea-
sonable TO those around her. Or rath.
er, she does not have to try, for II is
characteristic of elderly human beings
that they seldom try very hard to form
new habits. Youth is the period of
andeavor, and old age of results. This
Is the reason for the futiity of young
folks displeasure at their parents
'old-fashoned" ideas. Such ideas are
liked; they will not change.
Yet not all elderly people are age.
bound in their thoughts many can be
tolerant of innovations, and few can
even adopt them. Such a flexible con-
dition of the elderly mind Is, like the
rigid, intolerant sort, n product OF
earlier life and habits; It is not likely
to Indicate any particular good or
evil trait In the person possessing it.

THE LUMBER SITUATION

The movement of lumber dur.
ing the last week of 1920 was the
smallest Of the entire year and
in sharp contrast to the closing
week Of 1919 when a heavy de
mand from the consumer was be-
ing catered to.
More than so per cent of the
normal lumber production has
been shut down, for repairs, and
inventorying, or because of the
almost total absence of demand
for their products.
Ii is expected that many mills
will remain closed until more en-
couraging conditions appear that
will permit running without ac-
cumulatng large stocks and also
assure realization price above
operating cost.
Buying Of both soft woods and
hard woods is light Retailers are
not IN the market for lumber be-
cause Of the yet uncertain spring
situation.
Lumber prices for the most
part are extremely low at the
mills, but further reductions are
not likely in the face of high
high costs Of manufacture.

ANCIENT RACES PLAYED BALL
Tossing the Sphere 10 Supposed to
Have Had Deep Symbolic Mean
Ing Centuries Ago.

Although It is n proven fact that
the game now designated baseball is
OF modern and purely American origin,
the use of ball In ceremonies and
games goes back many centuries.
Four thousand years ago, In the
twelfth Egyptian dynasty, Coptlc
artist sculptured on the temple Benz
Hassnn, human figures throwing and
catching balls, A leather-covered ball
used In games played on the Nile over
io centuries ago, has place among
the many archaeological specimens In
the British museum. 1t has sewed
cover and Is In remarkable state of
preservation.
The game of ball was priced by the
Greeks as giving grace and elasticity
to the human figure, and they erected
statue to one Aristonicus for his
proficiency in It, Ancient medical
practitioners were wont to prescribe
II course of ball playing, where the
modern doctor would order diet of
pills.
1t is supposed that ball tossing had
deep symbolic meaning when played
In the spring of the year; and that
the tossing of the ball was intended
first to typify the upsprlnglng of the
life of nature after the gloom Of win
ter. And, whether this was the case
among the people of antiquity or not,
1t Is a remarkable fact that the &c
clesiastics Of the early church adopted
this symbol and gave 1t very special
significance by meeting on Easter day
and throwing ball from hand to
hand, to typify the Resurrection.

TOTEM POLES" TELL STORY
Are Historical Records, and Not as
Many Supposed, Idols to Be
WorshIped.

An art In sculpture not resembling
any other art In the world, unless pos
sibly that Of ancient Mexico, is found
highly developed among the aboriginal
natives Of the northwest coast.
Their material Is always wood, and
Is furnished by huge trees from the
forest, which are carved into the
most fantastic shapes. In this style
are sculp;ured the so-called totem
poles" which, often of great size and
height astonlSh the observer by the
intricacy of their workmanship and
the weird imaginativeness of their
complex designs.
Early missionaries In that part of
the world mistook the totem poles for
idols. AS a matter Of fact they pos
sess no such significance, being merely
heraldlc columns. Each tribal clan
has its own traditions and myths.
which takes the place of history, and
these are symbollzed by the extraor.
binary birds and other animals, some.
times human faces or figures. carved
on the totem poles.
Thus the Bear clan will have its
heraldic column topped by the sculp-
tured figure of bear. The raven
shows up conspicuously us the totem,
or crest, of the Raven clan; the whale
for the Whale clan, and so on.
To the IMMERSED a totem pole would
have no significance beyond its queer
ness, but 1t is In reality whole story
carved In wood.
