HOUSEWIVES EXERT
GREAT BUYING POWER

Arizona housewives exert the great
est purchasing power in the state.
They literally control the present
life. and future expansion of the states
agricultural and b manufacturing in
dustries.
Their buying power is greater than
that of all the states mines, railroads
and corporations.
They can bring a greater prosper-
ity TO- Arizona, and keep a greater
prosperity in Arizona, than any other
agency, or all agencies, and do it in
less time.
And they can do it without any
concerted effort, without any trouble;
merely by asking for Arizona prod
nets when they buy.
The women of Arizona are Arl-
zona's greatest asset. They, unaided,
can make the state.
Those few sentences tell the story
of nocement which should reach
every household in the state, a move
ment which should do more to in
crease Arizona's prosperity than any
other effort.
And they cite facts that some will
find hard to believe-that the women
of Arizona absolutely control its in
dustrial growth.
Further, they explain why the Ari-
zona Industrial Congress is looking
to the housewives of Arizona to make
the "Use Arizona Products campaign
the most far-reaching movement ever
undertaken in the southwest.
Basing its figures on official sta
tisties, the. Industrial Congress has.
been able to determine that the daily
expenditures of the women of the
state amount to a total of $500, 900.
Three hundred thousand dollars a
day!
Therefore, the housewives of the
state spend nine million dollars a
month, or 100 million dollars year!
There is another angle TO this mat
ter of keeping the housewives dol-
lars at home Most women, when
they ask for AN outside product, do
so from mere force of habit, rather
than because they actually prefer OUT
side brands. Many, of course, simply
continue to use the brands they were
used to in other states, and many
more ask for some brand they have
seen advertised without paying any
more attention to it. They must be
acquainted with the states products,
and shown their quality.
Arizona has wide variety of prod
ucts, a number of which are little
known outside of the counties in which
they are made. The food products
take in everything from butter and
canned milk and meats and flour and
jams to fancy fruits and vegetables.
One can use Arizona products for
every course of an elaborate menu
and in nine cases out of ten they will
be found equal in every respect, and
quite often superior to the highly
advertised products that are shipped
in by the carload to the injury of Ari-
zona's prosperity.
viii the women of Arizona increase
prosperity in Arizena' by demanding
Arizona products?
If they viii, the future of the states
farmers andsmanufacturers is assured.

PRESIDENT HARDING
COMMENTS ON ROTARY

WASHINGTON, D. C.-"That cit
izen who regards himself as a model
of civic proprieties because his pres
ent conduct is iTnpeccable, but who
does not cooperate with the civil au-
thorities or exert his influence in be-
half of the best possible administra-
tion of the laws, greatly overrates has
usefulness as a citizen.
President Harding thus summed up
his idea of the responsibility OF the
individual citizen for the proper adj
ministration of the laws of his coun-
try and his city in asmessage address,
ed to the citizens of the United States
through Rotary International, in con-
nection with the eighteenth anniver-
sary of the organization of the first
Rotary club.
Throughout the world during the
week Rotary International broadcasted
by radio and through speeches in
schools, industrial plants, in civic So
cities and clubs, messages on the OBJ
legations and responsibilities of the
individual citizen from the heads OF
the various branches of government
in twenty-seven countries. There are
over 1900 Rotary clubs scattered over
every continent with total member
ship of more than 10000. Practical
ly every Rotarian was engaged in this
citizenship campaign.
In the United States the messages
that were sent out included the one
from President Harding on the In
dividual citizens responsibility for adj
ministration of the laws, Speaker
Frederick Gillett of the house of
representatives on the citizens re-
sponsibility for legislation and Attor-
ney General Daugherty on the citl-4
zen's responsibility for the operation
of the courts.
The full text of President Harding's1
message follows:
-, The White House,
Washington.
To the Members, Rotary international.
The individual citizens responsible
ity for executive government begins
with the selection. of the executive.
This implies the duty of every voter
to vote; duty that many millions OF
them regularly fail to perform. Be-
fore that, it implies the duty to vote
intelligently, to make the vote repre-
sent a deliberate decision based on
the claims of the opposing parties
and candidates.
Finally, the executive having been
duly selected, it implies the obiiga-
ton to give him the support of all
good citizens in every effort of adj
ministration Of the law. That citi-
zen who REGARDS himself as model
of the civic proprefies, because his
present conduct is impeceable, but who
does not cooperate with the civil au-
thoritiess nor exert his influence in be-
half of the best possible administra-
ton of the laws, greatly overrates his
own usefulness as a citizen. The re-
sponsible officers of government
whether it be municipal, state or nat
ional, need and are entitledsto the full
and effective support Of all citizens
in the enforcement Of laws.
If the effort of Rotary should be
effective in impressing this conception
of the citizens duty it will have per-
formed a most useful service.
