Eiard-Hit Arizona Gives
 Auto Row Lesson m Smiles

With cotton bringing a dollar and even more a pound no wonder Phoenix went wild over cotton growing. Land sharks and speculators famed the flame and induced farmers to double and treble their planting by offers of credit.
 Loss on Production
 Then came the slump last summer in automobile buying and the tire in dustry being over extended and honey combed with speculation, caught it worse than even the motor car makers and sellers. The Salt river valley plant CTS saw long stapel cotton drop to around 30 cents which did not give them enough to even cover the labor costs of planting, growing and pick ing.
 The result is that all the cotton is tied up in warehouses here, at the shipping points and all over the coun- try as collateral for bank loans. There is nothing to do but wait for gradual liquidation through the demand that must follow exhausted supply arising from the needs of auotmobile makers and users that will always be con stant
 Some day Phoenix, as far as its cot ton raising goes, will again be as real
 
 barren desert sixty years ago and grew until it attained its present population of 10000. with a money wealth esti- mated by bank deposits of $25.000,000
 Waiting for Turn
 Of course automobile selling is at a standstill Almost miles of handsome motor car marketing establishments that line the principal streets have show rooms empty of purchasers, yet their proprietors smile and smile as they stand pat, waiting for the turn of the tide they know is sure to come just as plucky and confident of the future as the dozens of cotton farmers I saw again blowing as I rode the oth- CT day over the beautiful desert"
 Talk about New York as an auto mobile state. What do you think oi Arizona, with a population estimated at from only 265,000 conservatively tt S50,000. enthusiastically, having regis tered 34,700 motor cars last year. one to every eight of the inhabitants being automobile owners.
 Buck up, Broadway Take a lessor from Arizona. If Phoenix, under abso- luetly the worst automobile business conditions in the United States, witf the copper situation added to cottor conditions making them even worse can stand pat and still continue tC smile, why not you?
 This glorious Arizona sunshine sure does work wonders, not only with crops but with men,

Bv no S.nsr means. he says, could the won ''iui natural resources of this state pc so effectually placed before the people or this country. Board of di .ectors or the chamber of commerce. to whom the proposal was made. will consider the feasibility of such a tour at ther meeting Wednesday afternoon.
 Wide spread circulation of Salt River valley propaganda, honestly and effect uaily prepared, will bring thousands of citizens to this community and unlimit- Ted eastern capital. he declared.
 Exhibition cars, Tn which agricul- tufal, mineral and dairy products of the state would be exhibited. win be steacned 10 the car if the suggestion of Mir. Rice bears fruit
 The building of city is the same as the building of a retail mercantile business" Mir. Rice said. "A ner- chaut may have a $20 gold piece and willing to sell it for s5 bill; if he ooes not tell the people about it, they VIII not know that he has such a thin1 to offer and he will suffer lack of bus mess.
 The Salt River valley is in exactly the same position. We have the mos; wonderful natural resources here but the people of America don't know any thing about them. Why? Because the Deople of Phoenix have failed to- fei them what it has to offer. To be brief my suggestion is as follows:

"come sevenp at EIks Next Week


 Woe an tribulation, love and laffter; African bones an genuine sparklers- Those are the ingredients ingeniously mixed together into Come Seven," the big comedy hit that will be presented at the Elks theater all next week. Tn addition to being great evenings en- tertainment, Come Seven" is an ac- curate, intimate glimpse into the lives of certain of the darkies of today. Writ ten by the author of the negro stories still running in The Saturday Evening Post, and, for their type admittedly as true to life as the Uncle Remus" tales, Come Seven," the Octavus Roy Cohon screaming laugh success, offers endless opportunities for all manner of fun.
 Some time ago George Broadhurst saw the dramatic possibilities of the famous darley yarns. He called MT Cohon into his office and then and there commissioned him to produce a darkey comedy in which the most fla nous of his characters should appear The result was Come Seven" which Mir Broadhurst presented at the Broad hurst theater with Miss Gail Kain and a great supporting Broadway cast. From the first performance it was evident that Come Seven" was des- tined to be a great success.
 The funny bones of the Ell1s theate1 audiences will be ticllled all next week since the opportunity offers them foi the first time to see all their favorites in black face makeup.
 The play opens with the usual Sun day matinee and runs for the entire week. Seats are now selling at the Elks box office.

(The following article from the New ork Evening Mail is by John C. Wat more, in charge of the automobile ad- vertising and the automobile depart ment of the Mail. Mir. Wetmore, ac- c0mpanied by Mrs. Watmore, spent few days in Phoenix @ couple of weeks ago and in an interview then he set out the same opinion of Arizona and the Salt river valley that he gives in the subjoined article. It was not hastily formed first impression by a casual observer. Mr. Wetmore is a trained observer and this was not his first visit to Phoenix.
 Phoenix Arizona, Today-Everybody flat broke. everybody owing everybody else, yet everybody cheerful, hopeful for the future and waiting for read justment to run it's course and the tide to turn that will once more bring to the Salt river valley, changed by the Roosevelt dam from 8 desert waste into paradise of fruitfulness, the pros- perity it's cotton fields. its citrus groves. it's alfalfa farms, its sheep and cattle herds brought to 1t until the auto slump came.
 Altogether Phoenix, hardest hit of all, presents to the rest of the country a shining example of pluck, perse- vcrance. philosophy and patience.
 There one sees personified in the people the happiness of health that glorious Arizona sunshine brings and the unconquerable optimism of the rich and yet undeveloped west.
 But what has all this to do with the sport and motor car trade that such a letter should have a place in the automobile news column of the Eve ming Mail?
 Source of Cotton
 A whole lot, and much more than you have probably stopped to think. Phoe- nix. the metropolis of the Salt river valley, bears every bit as close and important q relation to the motor car business as Detroit itself, for it is to this district that our tiremakers look for the most part for their supply of that tough, long staple cotton neces- sary to the making of tire fabric-an American cotton that is the equal if not the superior of the Egyptian prod uct.
 It was the far seeing Goodyear com pany which first saw the long staple cotton possibilities of this valley and began it's planting until it has now reached an acreage of some 27,000. Goodyear also extended it's cotton planting to the Imperial valley where it has close to 20,000 acres under cul- tivation Other companies, notably Fisk and Dunlop, also entered directly or indirectly into Salt river valley cot ton growing.

the state of Arizona to visit the largest city of each state in the Union. The trip could be arranged for in the hot months, when men who are able are planning to go away on their vacations This would make an ideal vacation for men and women. The trip would be very inexpensive considering what it costs one to go to the coast for a month or two.
 '.We could erect a small printing press in the baggage car and print a daily paper as we go on our trip, de- voted in particular to Phoenix, the Salt River valley and the state of Ari- zona. A booster edition of both daily papers, containing photographs of all of our resources, will be of great in- crest to all of the cities we may visit and it will put Phoenix on the map for ever.

 It would be advisable that we take two Or three carloads of samples of every commodity that Arizona produces for exhibition purposes along with our booster train. The trip could be made in four to six weeks. When we return from this trip, every man, woman and child in the United States will know Phoenix, where 1t is and what it has to offer.
 If we are to build a greater Arizona and greater Phoenix, we must have the aid of outside capital. We must show outside capital what we have and what we can produce.
 The Phoenix chamber of commerce should invite the cooperation of every chamber of commerce in Arizona Every chamber should furnish quota of their leading citizens to go on this booster trip. Every civic organization in the state should be asked to CO., operate in this matter; every county should be represented

IS and 19 with the customary matinee Saturday. The ac- tion of the offering, which is divided into three amusing and sidesplitting chapters is sprinkled with liberal ar engagement of lively song numbers, dancing, novelties and surprises and enough action to require the services of an excellent chorus and consider able cast. Of course, the Mahoneys, like other neWly-rich people, are pest cred by rare and annoying parasites who endeavor to mulct them out of their well-gotten fortune. This serves for the introduction of complications

 unusual entertainment, reaching the acme of perfection and satisfaction. Manager Gus Hill, who was the first to place the Mahoneys on the stage, is sponsor for this unique and triumphal production. This alone should insure 9 production de luxe.

Mabel Normand at Ramona

Starting with the matinee this after noon, Mack's Merry Mermaids will di- vide honors with Mabel Normand at the Ramona in a highly delightful combination bill of musical comedy and feature motion pictures. Mack's Merry Mermaids will offer another of their rollicking, breezy musical comedy creations-full of snap and pep, and featuring the latest song numbers and musical hits. Pat Patterson has a particularly funny role in this bill, and Dolly Fowler and Anita Meredith were never heard to better advantage in song numbers. The Delightful Danc- ing Dollies never fail to score heavily in their every appearance, for this is one of the most clever choruses that has ever visited the city.
 Mabel Normand's picture is What Happened to Rosa,' coming to the Ra- mona direct from its triumphaEt run at the California theater in Los An seles. It is a comedy combining q rich vein of humor, and has been re- viewed as perhaps the best picture this charming star has ever made. It moves swiftly through a series of the most amusing situations, resulting in a eli max that is veritable knockout"
