AN INTERESTING HOME
TRADING SERMONETTE

Here is a clever burlesque that is
going the rounds. We do not know
whence it came, but it contains lot
of truth nevertheless. Please give at
tention to the reading:
"a dry goods merchant was starting
down town when his wife reminded
him of his most important duty dur
ing the day. Now, my dear, be sure
and send to the city for that new ra-
dio outfit, SO we can have it for Sun
day. You know our old Victrola is
getting SO that it is not fit to be
heard
Gust few blocks away the mer-
chant who handles Victrolas and fur
niture was sitting at breakfast with
his family. The conversation drifted
around to the near approach OF
school, And that reminds, john said
the lady who sat at the head of the
table, i must be going to the city
not later than next week. | must get
school clothes and see about a fall
suit for myself, and while there per-
haps | had better see about new lace
curtains for the front windows
"An hour or two later a leading
grocer stepped into the bank to buy
a draft which he was going to send
to a catalog house for a swell bed
room suite.
"'How's business? p asked the bank
er. 'Oh, not so very good replied the
grocer, things are dull just now
Before the banker finished writing
the draft dapper young man with
a grip stepped up and asked how eV-
erything was. The banker seemed glad
to see him. He was a representative
of a big printing establishment in
another state. He and the banker
chatted pleasantly for a few minutes,
after which the young man inquired
casually of his friend behind the win
dow if he wanted anything. We'll,
yes replied the banker. i believe |
do. Print US about 5000 drafts, s.
900 checks and couple thousand let
terheads."
"The young man thanked his friend
cordially and hustled out.
"That night the local business men
had meeting at the town hail to dis
cuss the growth of the mail order
evil. All of the gentlemen mentioned
in the narrative delivered short talks.
They agreed that the farmers were
guilty Of treason to their home mer-
chants when they persisted in buying
their goods from mail order houses,
and the meeting closed by adopting
strong resolutions against trading
away from home. Chandler Arizon-

WHAT THE INDUSTRIAL
CONGRESS HAS DONE

Accomplishments of the Arizona In
dustrial Congress for the first quarter
Of 1928, together with a general re-
sumo of its activities, are given in
Bulletin No. 18, Quarterly Report
and Accomplishments" an advance
copy of which has just been received
here.
The bulletin emphasizes that fur
ther Standardization of the states
agricultural products is necessary,
through cooperation between the
growers, and that farmers OF Arizona
must support their organizations all
the way, if the desired results are to
be gained. 1t also contains special
statement from Secretary Of Agricul-
ture Wallace on the great benefits to
be derived from cooperation be-
tween industries as it has been
brought about by the Industrial Con
gress.
Improvement in conditions in the
cattle industry is reported in the bull
letin, which says a better price is In
dicated, and points out recent range
improvement. Successful efforts OF
the Arizona Cattle Growers associa-
ton in obtaining favorable rates to
the northwest also are covered.
Among the accomplishments in the
"Use Arizona Products" movement
which are cited are the following:
Successful handling of the Coconino
county potato crop as result of CO.
operation between the growers organ
ization and wholesalers. 1t is estimat-
ed that the growers will average 81
per hundred, as against 80 cents per
hundred being paid growers in Colo
RADIO, due to over production.
Maintenance OF increased sales OF
dairy products, which has resulted in
dairymen receiving about so per cent
more for their butter fat than at pre-
vious periods.
Use of blend of Arizona flour in
the bread made by three Of the larg-
est bakeries in the state, in efforts to
/ increase the use of state flour.
Increased consumption of Arizona
olives and jams.
Assistance to state and county
farm bureaus in formation of poultry
and egg associations which plan to
store surplus production and stand :

A dear young fellow walked into
the postoffice the other day and
bought postage stamp of Decker
Williams. Then he asked Decker if
he would kindly put it on letter he
handed him. Decker, obliging as ev-

ing the stamp on when the young
man exclaimed:

of you. Kindly place the stamp with
the top toward the outer edge of the
envelope"

Attorney George r. Lewis tells
about colored hired girl who asked
her "missus" if she could have that
day week off to go to her fiance's fu-

"But he isn't dead, is he?" the mis-
tress asked.
"No'm."
"Then why do you say you want to
go to his funeral week from today?
You don't even know he's going to be-
dead then, let alone the date for his
funeral. You know that is one thing
none of us can be sure about-when
we are going to die"
"Yes'm," said the girl doubtfully.

voice: "But Use sure about him,
Maam; he's a-gwine to be hung"

Why One Boy Left the Farm
left my dad, his farm, his plow,
Because my calf became his COW;
| left my dad to SOW and reap,
Because my colt became his horse.
| left my dad to so wand reap,
Because my lamb became his sheep,
| dropped my hoe and stuck my fork,
Because my pig became his pork.
The garden truck | had to grow
Was his to sell and mine to hce.
Why Another Didn't
With dad and me it's half and half
The COW | own was once his calf;
No town for mine, | will not bolt,
Because my horse was once his colt;
I'm going to stick right where | am,
Because my sheep was once his lamb;
Pll stay with dad--he gets my vote,
Because my hog was once his shoat;
It's fifty-fifty with dad and me
A profit sharing company.
