BUY IN ARIZONA-TRADE AT
HOME

Trading at home and using Ari-
zona products is good business for
the consumer because he benefits in
directly in the greater prosperity and
development brought about as re-
suit of keeping money at home and
in the state"
If the use Arizona Products and
"Trade at Home" movements have
had any distinct feature, it is that
they have impressed upon the indivi-
dual citizen the fact that it is to his
personal interest to patronize home
business and home industry, as set
forth in the foregoing paragraph. 1t
is that angle in which northeastern
Arizona is interested particularly.
The use of Arizona products means
that Arizona producers and manufac-
turers will do a greater volume of
business, enlarge their plants, en-
ploy more people. These things
mean that more assessable property
will be added to the taxrOlls of the
state, with eventual lower unit taxes
as taxable property increases faster
than the cost of government.
Trading at home means that local
of business, reduce their proportion
ate overhead expense, perhaps expand
in size. This means that your local
business men will be able to contri-
butte more to all the civic improve
ment program, and as their business
ses grow pay more taxes.
So much for the taxation element
reducing taxes by creating more tax
able property by stimulating home
business and industry. Greater still
is the benefit which comes from in
creasing business in general, for that
brings in more people to buy the
goods and services of the individual.
1t puts more money into circulation,
and when there is more money in
circulation everybody has some of it.
Northeastern Arizona is not SO
much interested in the development
of manufacturing as are the central
and southern sections which have
more producing industries. Never
theless the development of those in
dustries and others, adds to the tax
able wealth of the state as a whole,
and in the course of time will reduce
the taxes which must be paid by
other sections. For that matter,
northeastern Arizona itself will have
producing industries of it's own in
future, and the general practice of
using Arizona products will be tre-
mendous asset to them.
The same applies to farming. Using
Arizona products assists the farmers
of the state in marketing their pro-
ducts profitably so that they will
have more money to spend Their
success also builds taxable property,
and adds to the general prosperity
Of the state as a whole. The big
thing to remember is that everything
which helps one community of the
state indirectly helps the entire
state. All of us should think of Ari-
zona first.
There are several natural reasons
why it is more difficult for residents
of northeastern Arizona to use Ari-
zona products. The most important
is that railroad connections allow
southern California New Mexico and
even Colorado to enter these markets
on the same footing as Arizona firms
in the central and southern parts of
the state. Moreover, these outside
states sometimes have even better
rail service, which gives them dis
tinct advantage.
Arizona producers are setting out
to overcome these conditions how

COOLIDGE IS CUT
In OPEN in RACE
FOR NOMINATION
i President will Make Formal Ac-
Acknowledgement of South Dakota
Action in Proposal

WASHINGTON, D. c. Dec s.
The action of the South Dakota party
proposal conventions in naming Pres
ident Coolidge and William G. Nc
Adoo as the republican and democrat
ic preferences respectively. has set
the 1924 presidential campaign def
nitely in motion.
The immediate effect was, two-fold
l. The white house announced that
President Coolidge would make an
official acknowledgement. of the in
dorsement in a communication which
will definitely place his candidacy be-
fore the country.
W. William c. McAdoo, at Los An
eeles, declared that the democrats of
South Dakota had shown they are
alive ito the necessity for a progress
i've administration at Washington
which will substitute action for dor
NANCY and honesty for graft"
La Toilette Left in Cold
Coolidge's friends had not been very
confident of South Dakota and they
were all the more pleased when they
noted the president had run ahead
of his ticket" so to speak J For the
pro-Johnson candidates, generally
speaking, were victorious in the rest
of the selections. Governor McMas
ter, the pro-Johnson candidate for
United States senator, defeated Sena-
TOR Sterling, who sought denomination
as a Coolidge man. The delegates
chosen were Norbek's pro-Johnson
men, SO that in reality Johnson OBJ
tains second choice pledge.
La Toilette is left we'll outside the
republican fold and if he expects to
figure in the presidential race he will
have to do it as third party man,
at least so far as South Dakota is
concerned.

To Free Calcium
Arsenate From u.
S. Tariff Law

Vigorous efforts to amend the fed
eral tariff law so as to place Calcium
Arsenate upon the free list, will be
made as soon as Congress convene
in December. This clearly indicated in
the unanimous expressions of con-
gressmen andl senators from all the
cotton growing states, in replies they
have sent to letter recently mailed
by ]. ]. Brown, Georgia Commissions
er of agriculture.
In his letter, Mr.. Brown pointed on
how important calcium arsenate is in
the fight which the farmers OF this
part OF the country are making against
the boil weevil. He also reminded the
lawmakers that the tariff of twenty
tive per cent, placed upon arsenate by
the last congress, was really the re-
suit of misunderstanding of chem
ical terms, it really having been the
intent to place the tariff on another pro
Guct altogether
Congress would never, knowingly.
have imposed a duty upon calcium ar
senate. at the same time that practi-
cally every agricultural authority of
the federal government, as well as the
agricultural departments and colleges
OF all the cotton states, are advocating
the use OF cacium arsenate as the one
dependable weapon to- be used against
the boil weevil, said Mr. Brown
The response to Mr.. Browns letter
to the cotton states delegations has
been practically unanimous. Every
member of those delegations has writ
ten that he will not only support such
an amendment to the tariff act, but
that he will il necessary, join in inttor-
ducing the desired amendment. Thus
1t is felt to be practically an assured
fact that the effort will be made, and
if it is made, Congress is confidently
expected to lift this burden from the
shoulders of the cotton growers, a
burden never intended and accidently
imposed in the first place.

Sixteenth Annual Seal
Sale Is Now On
Mrs. H. A. Mathis Is Chairman Of
Committee Conducting Sale Here

More than six and half million
tuberculosis Christmas Seals will be
distributed this week from the office
of the Georgia tuberculosis Associa-
ton to a hundred Georgia counties IN
preparation for the sixteenth annual
Seal sale which begun on nation
wide scale December 3.
The sale last year was the chief
means OF support of the Georgia Tu-
berculosis Association and forty-four
associations and committees and re-
suited in care by them of more than
1000 additional cases in addition to
the much bigger program which was
carried on for the prevention OF the
disease
Seals were first sold to procure
funds for the tuberculosis Campaign
by Miss Emily P. Bissell of Delaware
in 1907, From 1908 to 1919 the Seal
Sale was sponsored by the American
Red Cross. The following Year the
Red Cross decided that the Sale no
longer needed sponsoring and, assur-
ing the Tuberculosis organizations OF
its good will, Withdrew from the
movement.
Three hundred thousand seals were
sold by Miss Bissell in 1907, and more
than three hundred and eighty-four
million in 1922. Approximately two
billion have been sold in the fifteen
annual sales. This means that through
these little stickers $20000,000 have
been secured for the tuberculosis cam
paign. More significant than this huge
sum is the fact that through its ex-
penditure by the various associations
raising it, the death rate in the period
has been reduced to one nalf which
means that 100000 lives are being
saved annually.
The sale in Fitzgerald this year
begun Monday, Dec. 3. 1t is the hope
of the committee of which Mrs. H. A.
Mathis is chairman to sell $500 worth
of seals.

Hardwick May Run
For u. S. Senator
Also Reported that Missourian May
S2ek Presidency

ATLANTA, The report is cur
rent here from authority close enough
to know that Former Gov. Thomas
w, Hardwick will be head on the po-
litical stump again in very short
while Effort was made to reach the
former Governor to get his say on the
subject, but was unsuccessful.
1t is stated that Immediately after
adjournment of the extra session of
the Georgia General Assembly, United
States Senator James Reed of Miss
ouri will be announced as candidate
for the nomination for the presidency,
and that his campaign will be opened
in this state; that he and former gov
ernor Hardwick will both be heard on
the stump in behalf of that candidacy,
and that about ten speeches are to
be made.
The report goes to say that Mr..
Hardwick has lately been urged to
stand for election as United States
Senator, and from another source has
been urged to offer for Governor. In
respect to the latter it is stated that
the former Governor takes the posi-
ton that there is nothing now he can
offer the people of the state in gu
bernatorial race, holding that the
things which he stood for in his adj
ministration are now being backed
supported and fought for by those who
opposed him. In respect to the sena-
torial matter, it is said he is lending
a more earnest ear, but has not given
direct limitation what he expects to
do.
Some time ago the former Gov
ernor made it known that because
OF the physical welfare of Mrs.
Hardwicl he unquestionably would
not offer for any public office unless
she greatly improved, since that is
his foremost and prime considera-
ton over all +hings Mrs. Hard
wick, it is understood, has greatly
improved in health, much to the de
light of their friends.
From another source it is report
ed that the former Governor has had
very attractive offer to enter the
daily newspaper field in this state and
much pressure is being brought to
bear on him in that direction.
