PREDICTS BIC CROP
OF CUBANO TOBACCO
DURING THIS SSEASOV

That the tobacco crop in Cuba this
year will be the best of decade and
that it will put the imported cigar
business back on its feet is the opiI1-
Jon of James j. Flaherty, head OF the
mail order division of the United
Cigar Stores, who is visiting in Phoe-
nix following an attack OF illness,
and who came to this city almost d.
rectly from Havana.
The headquarters of the United
Cigar Stores are in the famous Fiat
iron building in New York city, ana
here for more than 20 years Mr..
Flaherty associated with perhaps the
most exclusive body of smokers in
the world-Mark Twain, Charles
Schwab, J. D. Ryan, who will not
smoke a cigar that is not five years
old. and practically all those smokers
Of the metropolis who have been
noted for achievement in a hundred
fields of endeavor in addition TO
their knowledge of and enjoyment
in a good cigar, a delicate cigarette
or a real mans pipe.
For several years Mr.. Flaherty has
been making annual trips to Havana
in the interests of his clients, his
chief business being the purchase OF
extra fine cigars for his fastidious
patrons. HIS conversation Is lHAco
with stories of the greatest men in
the United States, all Of whom have
at one time or another come to know
the best expert on smokers needs in
New York. In discussing tobacco
conditions in Cuba, however, Mr..
F1aherty said yesterday:
From my observations while in
Cuba | have little doubt but that the
1922 crop is going to be the best crop
of Cuban tobacco we have had in
years. Some people may not get as
much consolation from that fact as
/ do, but | think there is every rea-
son to believe that the new crop will
prove a great boon to the imported
cigar industry and think can prove
/ have good grounds on which to base
my belief.
Il know that good crops haven't
always had the magic effect on sales
that one could wish them to have.
Just at present however, the i'm
ported cigar business is beginning to
feel the beneficial effect of the recent
price reductions, and that is the first
move in the right direction. don

CONAN DOYLE IS
To Be ANSWERED

Most all have read with interest the
statements of Conan Doyle and many
have been puzzled and perplexed.
Some have given so much thought
to the teachings of Conan Doyle that
the press reports say they have gone
insane.
The International Bible Students
of Phoenix, knowing that there are
many who desire to know the truth
regarding this teaching, have ar
ranged a special lecture at the Ari-
IONA School of Music for Sunday
afternoon at o'clock in which the
statements of Conan Doyle and 9TH
ers will be answered from the Bible
standpoint. The speaker will show
where this teaching started; why It
is spreading so rapidly at this time
He will point out what the power is
that is used in Spiritism to do the
things that seem so strange; how 1t
is that mediums can tell things
known only to individuals; what
Spiritisln really is and why it should
be avoided.
All who desire to know the facts
about Spiritism are specially invited
to hear this lecture. The doors will
open at 2:30 and the lecture viii start
promptly at 8 o'clock All seats will
be free and no collection will be
taken.

One Good Turn Suggests Another
Is Friendly House" Experience

Mrs. Green got a quantity of flour
bags, set the woman to work feather
stitching them together and putting
on them the Mexican work which is
so easy for her race to make Then
the woodwork must be painted to
make the rooms look fresher, and be-
fore the dett rmIned worker had fin
ished her whole house had been trans
formed into a clean and comfortable
abode.
This is tbs reason the articles are
given the women, and in not one in
stance has disappointment resulted.
The children of the district are bet
ter clothed, the home are more at
tractive and pest of all, the mothers
taught, in some instances, to become
breadwinners for their families
through thei skill with the needle.
The womeL are all anxious to learn
and are quick to pick out the partic-
ular line Of work which interests
them most and perfect themselves in
it. They ar g. hapcy. contented lot,
leaning toward the fancy and pretty
things of life, rather than the honne-
lier but more necessary sewing. They
love to manufacture flowers, imita-
ton fruit and all sorts Of crochet and
knit work, and the fact that they
will spend their time in making OF
clothes and quilts is due in large
part to Mrs. Green's influence.
The sewing classes were started
as an experiment, but proved them
selves so well worth while and so well
attended that they have been carried
on through he winter, and will be
continued all through the summer.

WE WILL CAN
WHEN WE CAM

The Merry Organization says
through their director who signs him
self A. M. c.:
IF the Farm Bureau can see it's
way clear to cooperate with us, IL
the Gregg and Munson and Lewis
canneries already operating in the
valley can be induced to open their
plants to as to be operated by us for
term of three years on a can-output
rental basis. (when otherwise idle)
if the nursery and seed men working
in line with data given them by the
Farm Bureau can help us standar-
die the vegetable canned products
as they come from the grower, We be-
lieve we will have fair chance of
successful operation on a CONNER
cial scale within three years. Above
all, if the facilities of some big going
plants could be put at our immediate
service-a plant similar to the HASA
yampa plant at Tempe. we believe We
could say to the farmers of the Salt
River valley. we have facilities suf-
ficient to take care of any surplus of
fruit or vegetables grown in the state
of Arizona-go to it..
In the meantime we say plant as

but ONE PEDDLER
IN ARIZONA, AND
HE'S ON HALF FARE:

When the state highway depart
ment recently was furnished with a
copy of a receipt by the state treas
urer showing that $20.S4 had been re-
ceived by him from the county treas
urer of Pima county to be credited
to the state highway fund, it took
quite a while to determine the reason
why such a fund should have been
placed to the credit of the state
highway department.
An investigation developed the
fact that the amount originated from
the act passed by the fifth legislature
in 1921 which provides that every
travelling merchant, hawker. peddler
or itinerant vendor shall pay Ii
cense tax in advance to the sheriff
of the county in which he carries on
his business, the minimum fee to be
$50, and the funds so collected to be
paid by the sheriff into the state
road tax fund, 25 per cent of it to be
expended by the state engineer
1t is not known just how the sheriff
of Pima county could collect a fee
Of $20.S4 under the provisions Of the
act. AS this is the first money Of
this kind received since the passage
of TIL eact in 1921, it appears that
there is only one peddler in Arizona,
and he is travelling on half fare.
However, the most shocking part of
the whole situation, according to
Thomas Maddox, state engineer, is
that the trainers of the financial code
overlooked this law, and did not
amend it to take away from the state
engineer the authority of expending
the receipts collected by reason of
the act. No doubt, he declared, the
matter will soon be in the courts and
the exact method Of handling such
funds will be determined by judicial
ruling.

SAYS THAT CHRIST
APPEALS TO HEART

THE superiority of Christ's gov
ernment asserts itself above all 9TH
er governments in that it appeals to
the heart" said Evangelist Reedy in
speaking at the Adams School audi
torium last night upon the theme,
Heart Religion" Many human
governments seek to control men by
compulsion: Christ seeks to control
men by impulsion; their force is from
without, His from within. What is
the heart of man? 1t is the seat Of
the intellect, the affections, the will,
the conscience. 1t is appealed to by
the testimony of Gods word when
reveals the highest object of affec-
ton, thus presenting the heavenly
motive prompting men to do all that
is right"

Church Shall Join?" Meetings con-
tinue all this week. You are COR

think prices viii so lower for a long
time to come, but the new prices
will do much to win back the public
to imported brands, and before long
I think we are going to see much
larger sales of the imported Cuban
cigars.
For the past two years smokers Of
imported brands have been switching
to high grade domestic stock and it
will take some little time to get them
back. While there are those who
think that the present crop in Cuba
is too immature to pass judgment
upon it, there is not the shadow of
a doubt that it is going to yield
heavily, while the quality. in my
Judgment, will be of the highest"

Business Is good--Let's make It
better is the slogan which was
adopted last week by the Fuller
Brush company at a convention of its
statesmen and managers in this city.
"The Fuller Brush company last
year had an increase of az per cent
in sales over the year 1920" accord
ing to Mr.. Metcalf. This year sales
are running more than an increase of
100 per cent, he continued.
.The company operated five plants
at Hartford and is now building a
new 100000 factory at the same
place. One of the main reasons
given by Mr.. Fuller for the phe-
nominal success in sales has been
because the company has gone out
after business instead of waiting
for the business to come to it.
"This has been shown by the fact
Arizona republican., 1922-04-30

that the company this year is spend
ing double the amount spent last year
for advertising. These ads are APP
pearing in the leading magazines
throughout the country and also in
newspapers. 1t is expected that an
extensive advertising campaign will
soon be started in Phoenix z
Mr. Bloom, Los Angeles manager,
gave splendid talk at the conven-
ton on service in connection with
the sale of Fuller brushes. He spoke
of the service that these brushes rem
der in the home by enabling the
housewife to do her work in less time
and do it better than by using anti
quated methods.
Mr. Bloom began work with the
Fuller Brush company three years
ago as salesman and said that he

Turning again to the matter Of
public criticism of city officials, the
report says:
"Penuriousness Won't Build"
"Penuriousness will not build cities.
The budget is not intended for thou

have it. but it should be live, posi-

Stiff Contest in First Half.
Leading 3 to 2.

Boston, Feb. 1.-THE Yale hockey
team put up an unexpectedly stiff fight
tonight against Harvard, which. al
though entering the game confident of
victory, was quite prepared to have its
New Haven rivals take a one goal lead
in the first period and hold Harvard to
to 2 score through the first half
hour of the going.
In the last period. however the Grim
son forces We're better organized than
earlier in the game. three goals setting
a to 2 final score. In the last ff-
teen minutes Harvard fairly peppered
Goalkeeper Vosel with shots. and Crosby
Owen and Baker each managed to drive
the puck past him.
At the beginning of the game the
teams fought at evens for twelve min
utes. Vale making no close approaches
but getting off a lot of very accurate long
shots. Reid finally put Yale In the lead
by smashing home the first goal with a
backhand stroke In scrimmage, but
Baker scored for Harvard on an angle
shot and in less than half a minute.
In the second period Walker made
two goals for Harvard. putting the
Crimson in the lead in spite of n very
pretty goal scored by Reid who got
in a l'ne drive from a deep position on
the boards. In the last part of the
game Yale continued to fight hard. but
was tired and could not do the body
checking and hooking which had served
the New Haven team to such good pur-
pose earlier in the match. Owens goal
was made after he had carried the disk
completely around the Yale cage. Baker
scored again from n close-in face off,
and Crosby's goal was made from an
angie after long push up the left of
the rink.
