TEN YEARS IN
BUSINESS

Ten years ago, this month,
went to Flagstaff to buy my first
car of lumber. After consulting
for days with the manufacturers,
it was decided could have a
small stock costing about 100000
providing could pay cash. Al
ways being believer in owning a
home first, had bought lot and
built a small house costing just
100000. The next thing to do
was find someone who would loan
100000 on this property. After
several weeks this was accom-
plished, and by October the yard
was started. You who have been
here the past ten years know the
result of this start. have al
ways sold lumber fast from the
beginning working on the theory
that quick turnover at a small
profit was best.
Approximately two and one
quarter million dollars worth of
lumber and building material has
been sold, netting less than FOUR
CENTS on the dollar. While the
net profits are small, the turn
over is large, and a few paItry
pennies on each dollar soon count
up. We are now unloading our
SEVENTY-EIGHTH car of Lum-
ber this year, completing a stock
that is second to none in Arizona.

A sweeping program Tor the
modernization Of the American
navy, including the elevation 81
guns On battIsships e increase
their firing range; was recos1l.l
niended today by Secretar Of
the Navy DENLY in bis annual
report to Congress.
Serves Notice on Conference.
An initial appropriation Of
$6,50O,OOO to elevate the big guns
was made by Congress about year
ago. but the work was never started
because Of misunderstanding
with Great Britain. DENLY served
notice today. however, that the
navy was determined to go ahead
with its modernization program
unless averse action is taken by
Congress.
in the opinion Of the Navy
Department" Secretary DENLY de-
clared, ''the elevation OF the gums
spirit or letter Of the treaty for
the limitation of naval armament"
Wrong View Taken.
This opinion is contrary to that
OF Secretary Of State Hughes and
OF President Harding, who ordered
IA halt In the gun-raising program
as a result Of the disagreement
with Great Britain. Explaining his
position, DENLY said:
An appropriation of $500 900
was made by the Sixty-Beventh Con-
gress for the purpose Of increasing
the elevation Of the turret guns Of
thirteen OF the treaty battleships.
quite unintentionally the Inn
preston given to Congress was
that the disparity between the
ranges of these thirteen ships OF the
navy and the twenty-five ships of
the British navy was overwhelm-
ingly in favor of the British.
AS matter of fact there is Sc
rious difference in the ranges at
which the two fleets can engage,
but not as great as the impression
given Congress. 1t is quite obvious
that in a fleet action all the vessels
OF a fleet cannot be firing upon the
enemy until the enemy is under fire
by the ship of the shortest range.

LONDON, Dec. 10.-Premier
Stanley Baldwin was received In
audience by King George at Buck
ingham palace today when the
chaotic British political situation
was discussed.
Two factions have grown up
among the Tory leaders, one in
sisting that the premier retain his
office for the time being; the
other urging Baldwin to resign,
so the King can commission the
Labor party leader, Ramsey Mac
Donald, or some other, to form q
new government.
Premier Baldwin did not offer his
resignation to the King. Their meet
ing was confined to a discussion OF
the situation. 1t is understood no
definite decision was reached.
It was regarded as certain that
the Tories would take no definite de-
cision until the cabinet meets tomor-
row.
Prediction was made at Tory
headquarters that the cabinet will
insist that Premier Baldwin con-
tinue in office.
Papers See Coalition.
Lord Birkenhead, former lord
chancellor, and Sir William Bull to-
day organized meeting of Tory
leaders to attempt to persuade
Baldwin to carry on until his posi-
ton becomes absolutely untenable.
They are protesting against the
premier's resignation In favor Of the
laborites.

going about thirty miles an hour
that he instantly applied his brakes
but was unable to hold the train.

The real reason was that Cool
idge's friends wanted to get the
convention as far as possible away
from the West altogether. They
wanted to get it as far as possible
into an eastern environment.
They know that Johnson is much
weaker than Coolidge in the East;
and they begin to fear that John
son after all may be stronger than
Coolidge in the West.
They begin to realize that the
South Dakota presidential prefer
ence proposal convention which en-
dorsed Coolidge and which then
adopted a Hiram Johnson platform,
including an endorsement of the
bonus, was a farce.
1t is now learned that the John
sCn followers deliberately put an
