The untimely death of Monroe

But YOU OUGHT TO HEAR HIM
HOLLER WHEN THE PAPER
DOESN'T COME

MY father says the paper he reads
amt put up right; =
He finds lot of fault, too, he does,
perusin' it all night;
He says there amt single thing in
it worth to read,
And that it doesn't print the kind of
stuff the people need;
He tosses it aside and says it's strictly
on the bum,
But you ought to hear him hoIler
when the paper doesn't come.
He reads about the weddin's and he
snOrts like all get out; T.:
He reads the social doin's with a
most derisive shout.
He says they make the papers for
the women folks alone:
He'll read. about the parties and he'll
fume and fret and groan;
He says of information it doesn't have
crumb--
But you ought to hear him holler
when the paper doesn't come!
He is always first to grab. it and he
reads it plumb clean through.
He doesn't miss an item; or a want
ad-that is true.
He says they don't know. what we
want, the dern newspaper guys;
I'm going to take a day sometime
and go and put 'em wise;
Sometimes it seems as though they
must be deaf and blind and
dumb"
But you ought to hear him holler
when the paper doesn't come.

DID you EVER STOP TO THINK?

(By e. r. Waite, Secretary Shawnee,
Okla, Board of Commerce)
That some towns are awake, some
asleep and some are dead.
That if you want to know the con-
ditiOn of city that you may chance
to be in, don't ask the real-estate
men, because they will want to sell
you something before you know whe-
.ther or not the city is worth staying
in. Don't ask the merchants, because
there are many kinds of merchants
you might strike dead one.
That the easiest way to find out
about a town is to get copies of it's
newspapers and look at the advertis-
ing columns, they will tell you every
thing you want to know
That when you see that the mer-
chants, the real estate men, the man.
ufacturers, the small business, the
banks, the hotels, the professional
men and other enterprises are not
well-represented in the advertising
columns, you need go no further for
that city is not healthy, it is only an
electric lighted graveyard. 1t is de-
ficient in everything that goes to
make a prosperous town.
That on the other hand. if the pa
pers are full of advertising it indi-
Gates that the town is progressive
and a worthwhile place.
What you want is live town to
prosper in-nOt q dead one to die in.

A KNOWLEDGE OF

Bookkeeping, Arithmetic, Shorthand.
Typewriting is valuable no matter
what trade, profession, or calling you
may follow. Hundreds of Arizona
people show that they realize this by
taking a course in the Lamson Busi-

complete commercial course prepares
YOU for Office work in any kind OF an
office, or any kind of a business.
There were more calls last year at
the Lamson Business College Office
for students who had had the Lamson
Business College training than the

were enrolled during the year ending
June 80, 1924.

FRIENDS SAY lMPARTIALITY
WILL WIN FOR LEWkOWITZ

Absolute impartiality is the single
plank chosen by Herman Lewkowitz
in building his platform as a candi.
date for Superior Judge of Maricopa
county, subject to the wishes of the
democratic voters. This coupled with
an acknowledged mastery of the law,
an intensive practice of ten years in
Phoenix and thorough appreciation
of judicial duties, makes him one of
the most formidable candidates for
the judgeship ever presented to the
voters of Maricopa county.
Lewkowitz was assistant United
States district attorney under Thomas
A. Flynn and assistant county attor-
ney under L. M. Laney. The court
records of the county reveal the fact
that since engaging in the private
practice of law he has handled an ex-
ceptionally large number of both
criminal and civil suits. His brill
liancy as a lawyer has been demon
strated by his successful defense of
some of the biggest criminal cases
| in the history of the county.
Wide support is being gained for
Lew hOWILZ ACmOC1O Va CAC
bar who point out that judge should
be we'll versed in the rules governing
evidence and procedure, that he
should be thoroughly familiar with
legal propositions in the case before
him in order to properly instruct the
jury, that he should be cool headed
and of judicial temperament. All
these qualifications are held by this
candidate, they claim.
"If elected judge" says Lewkowitz,
81 shall act with fairness, unbiased
and unprejudiced for or against any
group, creed or class and uninfiu-
enced by political intrigue or favor
itisms."
Mr.. Lewkowitz has a wife and child
and is a city and county taxpayer.
He was physically disqualified at the
opening of the war, but later when
opportunity offered resigned his post
as assistant district attorney in order
to serve his country.

Beginning Of Speech an Epoch.
When did man become man? When
did he get a mind and those spiritual
attributes which We call a soul? The
retiring president of the American As
sociation for the Advancement Of
Science said he does not know. Prob
ably the acquiring Of a mind took
countless thousands of years. No
doubt the mental processes of man I'M
derwent an evolution which paralleled
his physical development.
The beginning of speech, no doubt,
marked an epoch. Then mans mind
began to develop.
Where does science place the Garden
Of Eden? There have been many the
cries. Professor McMurrich recalled
having read q geological treatise the
orizing that Eden was within the Arctic
circle when the area was included in
the tropics. Genesis seems to place It
near the junction of the Tigris and
the Euphrates.
But the scientist has for years placed
the location of mans nursery much
farther east, In the Slwalik hills Of
northern India, near Simla, or in the
geologlcally submerged area toward the
southeast or in Java where the earliest
sub-human fossil, which has been
named Pithecanthropus, was found
Henry Fairfield Osborn, foremost
American authority on fossils, thinks
Mongolia offers the most fruitful field
Of research for Eden and at present
the American Museum of Natural His
tory has an expedition there seeking
clues. Further researches are also be-
ing conducted in Java, home Of Pithe-
canthropus. At any moment far reach
ing discoveries may be made.
But so far Pithecanthropus, half q
million years old, holds the record for
antiquity.
