COMING DOWN
BY Porfidio Garcia, Wic&ens usg "i4i'
School

All the way from q cent to dollar,
And then from dollar. on up,
Although I'm not & woll learned schol-
And deserve no golden cup,
Always when things get heavy
And again when they take mild
tone,
For one thing I know what I savvy,
I hate to let go Of bone.
My talk rests somewhat on price,
That's descending the hill today
It's coming down double and thrice,
And guess it'll remain this way
Things that were once worth nickel
Have dropped with the passing of
time;
It's really a pleasurable tickle
To see nickel cigars come down to
dime
At present we have the dress shoe
That used to be worth four beans,
But the price slipped down to where
it is due
Which is somewhere down in its
teens.
Everything seems to be talllng
Instead of making a climb
Two dollar hats make ten dollar haul
ing,
And nickel cigars have come down
to a dime.
Sox that were once worth quarter
Have also taken a spill
For instead of the price being harder
1t breaks only one dollar-bill;
Books that were once a half-dollar
Have got wise with the changing
of time
Just now one buck is quite lot small
And nickel cigars have come down
to dime.
Shows that were once worth fifteen
cents
When you took your sweet gal along
Have eased a little on us ladies and
gents
At present your ticket is two-dollar
long,
But things are still sliding and falling
And they'll keep on dropping be-
hind;
But l can't keep my memory from
calling
That nickel cigars have come down
to dime.

PIONEER LADY OF WicKENBURG
PASSES

Martha A. Hammick, for many
years a loved and respected widow Of
Wickenburg, died early Wednesday
morning just before sunrise. She had
been ailing for some weeks from a
minor illness and passed peacefully
out to the Great Beyond. For years
her little homestead was the Mecca
for tubercuIar patients, who passed
her humane and sympathetic qualities
along to each other, SO that she was
never without tenants, whom she
cared for like mother. Her kindly
disposition was proverbial and there
are many who will regret her demise
with sincere grief. She had many
friends who mournfully attended the
funeral services on Thursday. In
terrment was at the local cemetery.
She was a native of West Virginia
ard lived in Pennsylvania before com
ing West. Her only known relative
was a son, a seaman, who sailed the
western ocean between San Francisco
and Japan. He was expected back
to his home port between the 18th
and 29th of this month. Her last
hours were made as comfortable as
possible by kind hearts of Wicken-
burg.

LION TANNERS MEET

The members of the Lion Tanners
Club spent very enjoyable evening
at the home of Mrs. Hariette Voss
last Wednesday evening. Members
and guests were dressed in knickers
and short dresses, while they carried
marbles, tops, sling shots and jaw
breakers. Following series of
games of various sorts, which were
decidedly suited to the occasion, sand
wiches and cocoa were served. The
program was concluded by short
business meeting. The next meeting
will be held at the home of the newly
weds, Mr.. and Mrs. Foy Barnette, on
Wednesday, February 13, at p m.
The popularity of the young couple
among the younger set insures 100
per cent attendance.

1N ARIZONA, FAR AWAY"
Pathetic song-Poem Composed in tas
BY H. &. Watson


In crowded dance hall, late one fall,
Amidst mining camp scenes at
Tombstone,
saw a face which my thots did trace
Back to my youthful days at home.
l gladly extended my hand to her
And said, Why, Belle, how do you
do!
I'm gcing back East in day or two
Your mothcr'll be glad to hear from
you.
''Tel Mother Tn coming home some
day"
She said with tears in her eyes,
I'm planning to return very soon
And give them glad surprise.
Don't tell them where you saw me-
jim;
Promise me this, now I pray:
Just say you saw Belle, doing well
In Arizona far away"
'Tis sad to relate, but it was her
And just year from that day
A letter came which did proclaim
How the poor girl had past away.
Tell Mother not to worry for me-"
Were the last words she did say.
Perhaps It's best, only you know the
rest
Bout Arizona, so far away"
Tell Mother I'm coming home some
day"
Listen to the sad refrain
Each one is planning again to return
When Earth's golden treasure we
gain,
But there's many slip twixt cup
and lip
AS we journey on in life's way
The story is old-been often told
Down in Arizona, far away

Of Prescott and former students of
the Wickenburg Hi School are here
visiting A. N. Lane and family.
Father Payas came in yesterday
from Prescott and is taking a deep
interest in the reconstruction of the
Wickenburg Catholic Church.
The first mail from Phoenix IN
cluding the city papers, arrived this
morning just before the Miner went
to press.
Looks like moisture was gathering
as indicative of rain. If precipitation
should ensue it will be highly well
coined by the thousands of cattle and
sheep now ranging in this vicinity.
Dad Watson made trip to
Castle Hot Springs on Thursday in

l wrote your father to stop the
paper last June, but he apparently did
not do so. While we have not re-
ceiyed all copies, we have received
most of them, and lately they come
regularly. I like energetic boys, and
wish you success, SO keep the paper
coming my way. | am still interested
in Wickenburg, as I lived there over
eleven years.

Yavapai Magazine, edited by H. B..
Watson in 191S-19, has died twice
since that time, and for the third
time is to be resurrected by the Pres
colt Chamber of Commerce. AS soon
as it's political worth is apparent the
magazine is boosted into existence,
but, Immediately after election, the
poor thing is allowed to starve to
death. Prescott Chamber of Com

GAS MAKES ANOTHER JUMP

In the last few days gasoline has
jumped another two cents at Phoenix
and Wickenburg. Phoenix papers
say that no reason for the increase is
known. They don't want to know,
and if they did, wouldn't dare to ex-
pose it. The reason is plain. All
small, independent selling stations
are being absorbed by the big dis
tributors. AS producers and distrib-
utors they want the retailers profits
and get it.

"FL OVERS" FOR "PAW" WATSON
FROM AN ALASKAN

The following is from the pen (type-
writer, rather) OF II. Francis Murphy,
an old time "sourdough" friend Of
Dad Watson in the strenuous life
Of the Northland, where the Watson
Bros. were born. Mr. Murphy is now
dealing in mines and mining at Cat
man, Arizona.

My Dear Boys i am mighty glad
that l can write this letter to you as
friend of your father In congratu-
lating you on the occasion Of your
taking over the Miner, which as a
precious legacy your father has trans
ferred to you, know he was net IN
mindful OF the responsibility he was
placing on your young shoulders.
Boys, it is no small tribute, I assure
you, to the trust, confidence, and abil-
ity your father reposes in you as men,
when he at once gives to you without
cavil or hindrance the best product
of his lifes work
I knew your father, as we were feI-
low argolauts away up in the Arctic
Circle where strong friendships are
made and not lightly set aside. In
that great rush to Nome in 1900 we
had our part in that body Of intrepid
adventurers who would unravel the
mysteries which shroud the polar
zone. We played our parts there, not
so successfully as some, perhaps
where gold is the only thing to be
considered; but we helped make the
life Of the community during the long
Arctic winters, and many night un
der the glittering stars, or with the
Aurora for light, we sang "mush on
to our dogs and out of the silence
the far-reaching echoes gave back the
cry, "mnsh on, mnsh on
You boys then, who must carry the
Miner onward, have really precious
heritage TO look after. AS never an
unmanly stain blackened the public
or private career of II. B. Watson, so
may his sons stand square against the
rocky shores OF time, even as the wall
builder Of cid said, ~ am doing a no
Bile work; I cannot come down"
Boys, you have nice paper, well
printed and clean. In the proprie-
torship of the Miner, as time goes on,
you will no doubt have many temp
tations to battle with. 1t will be nee
essary to say "No" to a friend, OF
Eyes" when the world may think 9th
erwise Great questions of state are
bound to arise, and the facts of var
ious contingencies may seek the light
of honest publication through you
colnmns. You may oftimes have to
submerge your own peculiar interests
for the public veal and you may be
required to make and give your de-
cisions on the spur of the moment
Do it fearlessly then! as your father
does his work, not forgetting that
while to be right is a condition to be
wished always, that to make mistakes
is essentially human.
Good bye and good luck to you
Sincerely yours,
H. FRANCIS MURPHY.

PES3!MIsM VS.. OPTIMISM

''Twixt optimist and pessimist
The difference is droll-
One sees the doughnut,
The other views the hole"
The optimtst never worries
Tho prices run sky high
When taxes go a-soaring
Off to Europe he will fly.
Pessimists rave bout their debts
All night they'll walk and squawF
While Optimists will go to bed
And let their creditors walk.
Some day they'll get together
Both optimist and pessimist;
Should they "mix it furious
Neither ever would be missed.

AUTO GIVES RISE
TO MANY GRIMES

ATLANTA, April 18.-since
Fulton county voters have express
ed them selves as favoring the sal
ary system for county officers and
consequent abolition of the fec
system, appropriate steps should
Immediately be taker, to bring
about the change, according to a
statement made here by Solicitor
John A. Boykin, Of the Fulton su-
perior court, who at the same time
states that he will be a candidate
for reelection to the office in the

in securing passage of the necessary
legislation to abolish the fee system
at the meeting of the Georgia Legi-
stature in June, and declare that
he will personally appear before the

education-the kind that is
bought with experience-teaches
the folly of clinging longer to the
one-crop system. 1t is a system
under which only few farmers
have prospered permanently,
while thousands have seen the
slender profits of occasional fat
years of low prices or crop dis
aster.
Since the advent Of the boil
weevil in Georgia cotton fields,
the one-crop system has been
proved even more hopeless. Ger
tainly no thoughtful person will
contend that it is longer possible
for a farmer in this state to make
cotton his only money crop and
be prosperous, says the Albany
Herald.
Consider South Georgia. In this
section of the state there are so
many crops-crops that not only
can bring but are bringing, in in
creasing volume, cash to the farms
e If this favored section that to neg
lect them seems almost criminal.
Some of them are cash-producers
every month in the year, and
there is not a farm in all South
Georgia that cannot, with proper
management, have cash flowing
in from January to December
without interruption.
Consider this list of South
Georgia money crops: Peanuts,
Hay. Pecans. Corn, Small grain.
Hogs. Chicken and eggs. Milk ana
cream from the small dairy herd.
Beef cattle. Tobacco. Water
melons. Sweet potatoes. Truck.
Syrup. Peaches. Nor are these all
And there is not a farm in all
South Georgia on which soil and
other conditions do not permit Of
an intelligent combination Of
enough Of these crops to make
that farm prosperous and indie
rendcnt-provided, of course, the
farmer plans intelligently and
works industriously.- Brunswick

A PIVOTAL YEAR INsDIVERSI-
SIZED FARMING.

BY stages and processes which
often have seemed discouragingly
slow, the agricultural system of
the South has been changing in
recent years.
Georgia has made steady pro-
gress toward that agricultural in
dependence which should be hers,
but some Of the old practices have
persisted in spite of the apparent
need of more progressive farm
methods.
The year 1924 brings Georgia
definitely to the parting of the
ways. That most valuable Of all
