No More Pooling

EAOWHERE did Abraham Lincoln show his shrewd-
ness of judgment to better effect than in that ia
nous utterance which ended, "You can't fool all
the people all the time"
In the past, there were a few misguided advertisers
who thought they could sell their wares better by mis-
representation. But those advertisers have long since
gone out OF business or mended their ways. Hard expert
ence taught that Lincoln was right. Untruthful adver-
Using doesn't pay.
Other advertisers proved that the only way to ad-
vertise successfully, make regular customers and build
up public goodwill was to tell the absolute truth about
thelr goods. ---2-LAALAA--A--
So, you can be sure that every consistently adyer-
tsed product is good. The advertising test has proved it.
The very fact that it is advertised is your best warranty
of satisfaction and true quality.
The concern that tells you frankly what it is doing is
a good concern with which to do business. That is why
it pays to read the advertisements, to patronize advertis-
ers, and to buy advertised merchandise.

INCOME TAXES SHOWING GAIN

Between 5000 and 10000 income
tax returns were filed in the district
of Arizona on the last day in which
to avoid penalties for failure to file
on time, it was announced by Frank
y Stewart, internal revenue collect
or. OF this number, about 1000 were
received at the Phoenix office through
the mails and over the counter from
taxpayers who crowded the revenue
building in West Monroe street 90 a
late hour. Four clerks were kept busy
all day opening and sorting the mail.
Mr.. Stewart estimated that the to-
tai number of returns on 1922 incomes
will be between 25,000 and $4,000, as
against $4,000 filed for 1921, repre-
sentiHg a 5000 increase. There will
be more paid returns this year, and
the monetary increase probably will
reach a million dollars, as a total S3,-
100000 is indicated. The 1921 pay
ments ttotalled $2,000,000 for Arizona.
The percentage of those who failed
to file as required by the revenue law
is smaller by far this year than for
any year in the past, Mr.. Stewart de-
clared. The mails are still bringing
hundreds of returns to his office,
while he estimated that the total cash
value, represented in those filed yes
terdayg throughout the state was
about $125,00e.

POSTMASTERS OF STATE
MEET AT PHOENIX

w. Irving Glover, third assistant
postmaster general, speaking in Phoe-
nix at a banquet which was the closing
event on the program of the first an
nual Arizona postal conference, urged
that all cities of the southwest able
to maintain and establish airplane
landing stations should do so in or
der that they may avail themselves
of the benefits of the air mail service,
which will come with the future.
Discussing the developments of the
air mail service Mr.. Glover declared
that by July / arrangements for night
flying on the transcontinental route
would be completed and the time from
New York to San Francisco would be
reduced to 36 hours.
AS soon as this is accomplished, he
said, the department will begin the
work of developing lateral air mail
lines to connect with the main trans
southwestern states, he predicted,
would be among the early sections to
be opened up by the lateral lines.
Close to 500 postmasters and mail
clerks gathered for the conference,
which started in the forenoon and
ended with the banquet. Inc ar
ternoon session was devoted to dis
cussion of problems and possibilities
of the mail service.
Mr.. Glover and Judge John H. Ed
wards, solicitor general of the post Of
flee department, were official repre-
sentatives of the department at Wash
ington.
Address were made during the day
by Postmasters C. ]. Alden, of Globe;
Mrs. Allie Dickerman of Tucson; C.
w. Hicks Of Bisbee, and w. F. Day
of Prescott.
In his speech Mr.. Glover illustrat-
ed the growth of the postal service
by comparing the receipts of the de-
partment last year.

BUY AT HOME WEEK
GOES OVER BIG

Monday, March I9, witnessed the
opening of the second annual TRADE
at Home-Buy' Arizona Products
week ever held in Arizona the Sec
ond concerted effort on the part OF
civic organizations of the state to
keep Arizona money in Arizona, where
it will develop the states industry
and resources and do its bit for the
prosperity of every citizen.
Practically every city In the state
has joined in observance of the week
through its chamber of commerce, in
every case the campaign being "Buy
in Your Home Town." with the added
"Use Arizona Products" slogan for the
state as a whole. And as a sequel to
the various local movements purchas-
ing agents, wholesale dealers, farm
organization representatives and man
ufacturers will meet in a buyers and
sellers conference in Phoenix March
26th to get together to improve the
preparation and distribution and pro-
mote the consumption of the states
varied products.
Throughout the week it was stressed
everywhere that trading at home will
result in actual benefit to the indi-
yidual purchaser; that it is a matter
of individual advantage as much as
civic patriotism. There is real proof
for this view, too.
The sole result of trading at home
is the creation of more business, and
more permanent prosperity. But
what are the results of developing the
business of your community?
{ One result is the growth of present
business and the establishment of new
ones. This means employment of more
people, and room for new residents. It
also means that there will be. more
taxable property and more people to
pay for public improvements, schools,
roads, parks, paved streets, etc.
Another result is that increased vol
ume of business may we'll mean lower
prices, by reducing the proportionate
overhead. Add to that the more eff
ficient service it will be possible to
give, and the larger stocks which may
be carried.
All these items apply with equal
force to the use of Arizona-products
to build up the business of the entire
state, with resultant additional en-
ployment, better pay, greater taxable
property. TRADE at Home-Buy Ari-
zona Products" is merely another way
of saying make prosperity" And
somehow everybody has more money
when times are prosperous.

VETO FAIR APPROPRIATION
SUGGESTS WOOD TO HUNT

Homer Wood, president of the state
fair commission, it was reported. at
the state house, has written Governor
Hunt advising him to veto the section
in the general appropriation bill which
would make available about $112,000
in addition to maintenance costs for
the state fair at Phoenix for two
years, on the ground that the sum is
insufficient.
Governor Hunt, it is understood, has
written w. t. Webb of Phoenix, and
Duane Bird of Nogales, other mem
bers of the state fair commission, re-
questing their views.
The position taken by Mr.. Wood in
his letter was that with only the
amount designated at their disposal it
would be practically impossible for
the commission to make favorable
showing, or carry out the enterprise
successfully.
