Chiclie became excited at this

Miss Simonds had a grave.

Unconsciously Chickie's head

abruptly, "Yes?"
"An anonymous letter was sent
to me some time ago, making
certain accusations against you,
Miss Bryce. Naturally, / paid

Chickie looked straight before

strange, unnatural quiet: 'Why

'Then the charges are true?"

Miss Simonds' color dropped
visibly until her cheeks We're a

"Are you aware Of the admis-

"Your child is dead?"
"Ah-" Chickie's lips parted.
They kept moving. Then she bit

STATE PEACE OFFICERS
TO MEET AT PHOENIX

A call, sponsored by Sheriff J. F.
Mcdonald of Cochise county, has been
issued for a meeting of the peace Of
ficers of the state at Phoenix on May
2, with view of perfecting arrange
ments for efficient cooperation among
the officers.
Improved methods of travel enable
criminals to hurriedly leave the scene
of their crimes and often can only
be apprehended by officers located at
a distance. This makes cooperation
among the officers of the greatest
Importance, and will no doubt result
in more efficient enforcement of
law.
In addition to planning for complete
cooperation in general law enforce
ment, the officers whose daily expert
ence enables them to appreciate the
problems which they have to over
come, may arrange to petition the
lawmaking powers for some remedial
legislation to enable them to act more
effectively.
The prevention of traffic in mar
cotics and the suppression of the au-
tomobile thief will also receive atten-
ton.
All officers whose, duties involve
the enforcement Of law, federal, state
and municipal have been urged to at
tend.

EASTER SUNDAY AT THE
FEDERATED CHURCH H

Easter Sunday was one long to re-
membered as a day of melody and
praise. The choir outdid themselves
both morning and evening, while the
audiences taxed the full seating ca
pacity of the church and Sunday
school rooms.
The pastor in the morning empha-
sized the resurrection of Christ as the
beginning of 4 great venture of faith.
That as we follow him in depend
ance and experience of faith he will
lead us into the assurance of our
faith to live with God for eternity.
In the evening it was pointed out as
showing the perpetual present, the
permanence of God. The continuity
Of life and the conservation Of ener-
gy in Christ.
Rev. G. Wrenn Webb, D. D., of
Tucson, Ariz., synodical superinten-

The high school and university edu-
cation a young man or boy gets does
him very little good in practical, ev-
cry day work with the exception that
STRAINS him how to think and how
to concentrate his mind on a problem
or subject until he has worked it out
to his entire satisfaction.
Languages, mathematics and his
tory are all beneficial in themselves
but are really valuable only when
they have given one the power and
training for correct and sustained
thinking.
Different individuals are best suit
ed for some particular kind of edu-
cation or work and should choose this
education and master it. Some men
are particularly adapted to surgery,
some for law, some for engineering,
etc. One viii select the work he is
interested in and will like it and let
it dominate him, heart and soul.
Often boys and young men just out
of high school or college are inclined
to believe they are educated, but in
a practical sense Of the word, are
no better educated than the men who
are working as mechanics or lumber
graders. They know certain things
and can do these things, but at the
same time should bear in mind that
the mechanics or lumber graders
know other things and are as profile
lent in their respective lines as the
high school or college graduate is in
his.
Any man, irrespective of the kind
of work he is doing, should be respect
ed if he is master of it, whether it be
work done with mis- hands or with his
brain.
To handle large bodies of American
workmen, executives, managers, SUI
perintendents and foremen, he should
bear this in mind.
It is essential that they be demo-
cratic and look upon the workers un-
der them as their co-workers and men
not merely human machinery to do
as they are told Part Of the labor
unrest ana discomfort is undoubtedly
caused by the use OF the wrong atti-
tude toward laboTers by those in au-
thority. ANY boy or man who has
the ambition to become leader or
employer OF men must acquire a
friendly and humane attitude toward
men CT sooner or later he will get
into trouble.
Charles NJ Schwab attributes his
success in governments ship-building
program during the war to the fact
thsst the men under him knew he had
started as an unskiiled worker in the
steel business and did not place him
self on q pedestal to lord it over them.
In other words, he had a friendly and
fraternal feeling for the men under

him and the men realized this. This
attitude can not be artificial--it must
be sincere.
Ii boy or man has been brought
up with the idea that be is better
than the common run of men, the on
ly way to change this erroneous way
of thinking is to put him to work
with his hands alongside of men so
that he can get to know them by
close association and nine times out
of ten he will wake up to the fact
that there are some mighty fine fell
low among the day laborers. If this
friendly attitude is real, then the
workers viii give better service to the
executive because it is always better
to lead men than to drive them.

HAYDEN SPEAKS FOR
ARIZONA AT DEDICATION


The following address was made by
Hon. Carl Hayden at the dedication of
Arizona's stone in the Washington
monument on April 10:
'sMr. Chairman and Mr.. President:
.sAs a member of the Society of the
Sons of the American Revolution, |
am proud to speak under the auspices
Of the Daughters of the American
Revolution on the occasion when an
other stone is added to this monu-
ment of the greatest hero of the Rev
olution. AS one born in Arizona it is
my happy privilege to be here when
my state presents this tablet as
tribute to the memory Of George
Washington. Though Arizona was the
last to enter the union the people
of no state exceed. ours in the rever-
ence they bear his name nor in 10y
atty to the ideals for which he fought.
Today we bring to this shrine one
of Arizona's most ancient treasures
whose polished surface discloses how
itwwas formed. Ages ago a magnific-
ent forest was submerged in Arizona.
The great trees sunk beneath the wa
ter but by a miracle of nature their
form has been perpetuated. The rough
bark, the sapwood, and the rings to
the very heart can all be seen. When
this tree became petrified the Tower
of Babel had not been built and Egypt
was without her Pyramids. The
change that took place produced
stone worthy Of place in this mas
sive and majestic monument.
The soil of the state from which
this stone was taken became Amer
Jean by conquest and by purchase. The
blood and treasure of the American
people paid the price which gave them
dominion over it. They acquired a
land rich in natural resources, of
pine clad mountains, of vast mineral
deposits, of grass and browse for the
herdsman, of desert valleys to become
gardens under irrigation, of match
less scenery, Of pure air and sunshine
over all of it. 1t was the haunt of
savage Indians who for more than
two centuries had successfully defied
the Spaniards and the Mexicans. The
Apaches were subdued and the way
opened to settlement by people from
every state in the union. The plo-
neers brought with them the seeds Of
constitutional government and we re-
ioice that the planting has grown into
commonwealth which is true to the
American type and a credit to the
nation.
Arizona is new as state but many
of her people are descended from
those who fought for freedom, who
suffered with Washington at Valley
Forge and who took part with him IN
the final victory at Yorktown. We
have not lost our zeal for the insti-
tutions which his valor and wisdom
made possible. We love liberty and
are ready to defend it whenever the
occasion shall arise. The history and
the traditions of the war for indepen-
dence are ours equally with all other
Americans.
With modest pride we assert our
right, based upon the true faith and
allegiance which we bear to the ma
ton of which we are part, to do
as the people of other states have
done and cement stone from Arizona
into the Washington monument as a
symbol Of unity and of our common
devotion to the memory of the Faith
er of his country.
The Coconino sun., 1924-04-25

concentrate their minds on these sig
mails for different plays because they
love the sport and take pride in be-
coming proficient in the different
games.
Preparation, regular practice and
hard application are all necessary if
one is to play a game well--it is. the
same in business. If one is to be sue
cessful, he must give the same whole
hearted application to his work that
he did to football, baseball and bas-
ketball and play the game of business
to win.
Big business has become so COM
plex, so interviewer with finance,
with international developments and
,, current trend of all kinds that it is es-
sential to develop ones mind and edu-
cation in order to be successful in a
large way. Self education is the one
way to keep up with business develop
ments.
One must read every article in the
least way pertaining to his work he
can get. Self education is much more
effective because it is usually done
from desire to become broader and
more efficient and not because it was
wished on him, as lots of boys look
at it.
Employers of men today are look
ing for brains and not muscle. Ii
new department or plant is to be
put in, the first thing that occurs to
the executive is: Have we a man to
run it," Then the various men who
are working in the organization are
considered and the one who is not
afraid of hard work, has initiative
and loyalty and has worked to de-
velop himself, is the man who gets
the job.
ANY man who does his particular
work and every work he is put on,
just little better than anyone else
has done it, can not pass unnoticed
by his foreman or employer and
when once your worth is shown, adj
vancement is bound to come because
when any man has done his best, he
has done everything.
Mr.. Schwab, when asked to give
his list of success commandments,
(and I do not know of anyone better
fitted to give them than he) gave the
following:
/ Work hard.
2 Study hard.
3 Have initiative.
A Love your work.
5 Be exact.
6 Have the American spirit OF
conquest.
Z Cultivate personality.
s Help and share with others.
9 Be democratic.
10 In all things do your best.

Thompson meat market and re
is well and favorably known in
this locality.
Mr.. McCarter has a nice line
of meats on display and no doubt

production as fast as possible.
That the Giant company are
making rapid preparations to
take care of their production will
be shown by the adding of an
other still as soon as the present
one has had sufficient trial run,
also additional boiler capacity to
furnish steam to run additional
pumps and provide against shut
down from boiler troubles.
A number of stock holders and
directors will visit Kevin and the
