when he bought gasoline at Florence,
10 miles to the eastward. 1t cannot
be found that he stopped in Phoenix.
In his mutterings he has referred to
a Mexican whom he picked up on the

SELLING ARIZONA TO
PROSPECTIVE CITIZENS

A new means of obtaining names Of
prospective visitors and residents for
Arizona has been inauglirated by the
Arizona Industrial Congress, with CO..
operation of civic and commercial or
ganizations of the state, as preIim-
mary step to selling" Arizona to like
ly prospects"
Recognizing that the great majority
of Arizonans nave come from other
states, and have friends and relatives
in other states, the plan is nothing
more than an effort to have these
present Arizonans turn in the names
of people they know who might be IN
terested in coming to Arizona either
as season visitors or permanent resi-
dents Moreover, it IS believed the
people whose names are thus obtain
ed will be Of the most desirable type,
All names obtained will be compii-
ed into a general list to be kept for
reference, copies Of which viii be fur
nished all chambers of commerce and
advertising clubs in the state. Pending
successful action toward the issuing
of state booklet, these organiza%
tions may select the names of most
promising prospects" and sent liter
ature concerning their respective io-
calities.
To facilitate the turning IN OF
names, several thousand postcards
bearing blanks for names, addresses
and occupations, and also d blank for
the locality III which the prospective
visitor might be interested, have been
printed by the Industrial Congress.
These cards already have hter dis
tributed to members Of q number Of
Rotary and Kiwanis clubs and several
chambers of commerce, and soon viii
be distributed to all members OF the
Industrial Congress.

respond TO the wet" influences IN
their various states.
Aside from the charges that poll
tics interferes, Governor Pinchot
really has In mind a distinction be-
tween his own mental attitude and
the mental attitude of Mr.. Mellon.
Governor Pinchot Is himself by ma
ture a man of zeal and determination,
and just now his zeal and determina-
ton are focused on enforcing the pro-
hibition law. He demands from Mr..
Mellon the same amount Of zeal and
determination that he himself has.
In his latest criticism Governor
Pinchot lays emphasis on determine
ton" It is entirely correct TO say
that Mr.. Mellon is a man OF differ
ent temperament from Governor
Pinchot.
Mellon Is Modest.
Among other differences, Mr.. Mel
lon is extremely modest. almost shy.
He is the only member OF the cabi-
net who has never made public
speech since he took office. Mellon,
in his way. Is as honest as Pinchot
In his way. But 1t would be acutely
painful to Mr.. Melons temperament
to go about with policemen and pad
locks OF to do anything else specta'
cular And precisely the demand Of
the church people and prohibitionists
Is that something be done that Is
spectacular and drastic. They think
this is what the present crisis calls
for.
For this and other reasons, Gov
vernon Pinchot Is likely to have the
lest of the present controversy.

Old Man Buzzard spread his broad
wings and flew out from his favorite
tall dead tree in the Green Forest Old
Mr.. Buzzard was angry. He had been
teased so much by his neighbors of
the Green Forest and his pride in
his wonderful flying ability had been
so hurt that he had made up his
mind that he would show those who
had made fun of him what real fly
ing was.
When he was high enough he began
to spring around in great circles go
ing higher and higher. Almost at
once the man bird. which was the
cause of all his trouble and which you
and / know was an aeroplane. began
to climb higher and higher. You see.
the man in the aeroplane had seen Old
Mr.. Buzard start out from the Green
Forest and he thought II would be
fun to show that man made ma
chine could fly better than the best
flyer among the birds. SO as Old
Mr.. Buzzard moved higher and
higher up in the blue, blue sky so
did the man bird.
Round and round in circles, high
er and higher and higher sailed Old
Mr.. Buzzard and the man bird, while
all the little people In the Green For
est and on the Green Meadows sat
with their heads tipped back watch
ing. Up, up. up went Old Mr.. Buzz
zard until to those on the ground he
was hardly visible, their heads tipped
back watching. Up, up. up went the
aeroplane, but because 1t was much
as Old Man Buzzard.

Blacky the Grow. II have an idea
that that man bird is just as high as
Old Mr.. Buzzard right now. only 1t
lis so much bigger that 1t doesn't
look to be so high. Just wait"
OF course they all waited. There
was nothing else to do. By this
time they could hardly see Old Mr.
Buzzard, but the man bird still look
ed big.
Old Mr.. Buzzard went higher than
he had ever been In all his life be-
fore. But 1t was OF no use. That
man bird soon was just as high and
sailing in big circles around him.
Still Mr.. Buzzard kept on. He
wouldn't give In until he had to. Then
that hateful man bird began to climb
faster and faster. In a moment or
two II was above Old Mr.. Buzzard.
