PROPHECY

Al autos will be equipped with
radio telephones within five years.
THIS is the prediction by Hiram p
Maxim, president of American Ra-
dio Relay League.
He estimates that amateur radio
fans in our country have already
spent 200 million dollars for sets.
That's only a start. The radio
market, properly stimulated by in
vention, has a plum Of billions Of
dollars of sales in sight. Such
stimulus will rapidly develop radio
practical everyday device as ind
dispensable as the auto or wired
phone.

Bank Gets Super.Safety Insured
Checks

The First National Bank has Just re-
ceived supply of The Worlds Safest
Bank Checks Super-Safety Insured.
These insured checks are the last word
in safety provide the only positive pro-
lection against check raisers.
Most people do not realize that last
year more than $50, 900 was lost
thru check frauds alone-that every 81
minutes check fraud loss. Ordinary
unsafe bank checks are an irresistible
temptation to check raisers.
These Super Safety Insured Checks
are made on a special safety paper and
should an attempt be made to alter
one of these checks, either by erasure,
knife or acid, the paper fairly shrieks
the crime.
Each check is marked Insured"
and Protected by the William j.
Burns international Detective Agency.

Besides, each depoitor is insured I'M

Obituary..

Mrs. Howard Holly who died at
Grounding Wednesday of last week
was buried from the Methodist church
in Cortez Friday. Rev. c. T. Farmer
of this place conducted the funeral
services.
Velma Elizabeth Bare was born near
Princeton, Kansas. When she was
about three years old the family moved
to New Mexico, from which place,
shortly after, they came to Montezuma
Valley. Here her young life was
spent, and here in January, 1923. she
was married to Howard Holly of Nc
Elmo Canon. They lived down there
until last fall then went to Utah and
later to California. They returned in
May. The summer was spent in the
coolness of mountain and woods, but
she was planning to come down here to
await the coming of the little one to
which she looked forward hopefully.
One who knew her well said, Every
one down in the canon loved Velma;
she was always doing some kindness
for somebody"
She had matured into happy, sunny
disposition; naturally cheerful, she
made friends wherever she went.
The death of her mother last December
was sore trail to one of her loving
nature, but also led her to think more
of the life beyond this vale of tears. J"
And so we believe she was ready for
the call that came so suddenly.
Her young husband is left to mourn
her untimely going; also her father,
sister, brother and host of friends.

CONSCIOUSNESS OF
 A BAD COMPLEXION MAKES PEOPLE SHY
"Here is a sweet, attractive kind of grace. A full assurance given by loOks."
 -Chaucer.

There is nothing which robs girl or boy of confidence in themselves as much as that constant consciousness that everybody who passes them re- marks about the unsightly and displeas- ing condition of their skin. They get to where they actually feel like they wish the earth would swallow them to get them out of their embarrassing pre- dicament.
 But they don't need to feel that way at all. If they would just use little common sense and reason with them selves. they would soon find that many thousands of boys and girls who once were in the same condition are now happy because they cleared their rough. pimply. blotchy and discOlOred skin by using the wonderful Beauty Bleach. which bears the wel-knOwn Black and White label.
 Black and White Beauty Bleach re- moves these disfiguring marks from the scarf skin without going below the sur face and disturbing the skin tissue. It can be used day or night without any one knowing it. because it is flesh color. and doesn't make the skin greasy. The liberal package is economically priced at 50c, and any dealer can supply it to you.

 KIT simply didn't have time toS get
 new hat for the game. Will
 you lend me your red one? hate to ask it of you," is typical of Bernice's conversation. She usually finds that she is without things she needs. She rarely has the necessary article at the right time. But to her there is always way out. She asks one of her friends to lend her what she wants.
 She is type.
 She is The Girl Who Is Always Bor- rowing.s
 Nothing is too much for Gernice to ask for. She starts in with magazines and books ( Id finishes with dresses, furs and the most expensive jewelry. She smiply doesn't know when to stop. She is nuisance. Nobody likes to re- fuse her because she has such a happy disposition. That is her difficulty. She is happy go lucky, easy come and easy go. Nothing seems to worry her nothing except, when person refuses her request Then she bursts into flood of tears-and she usually wins out.
 Unfortunately Bernice is not prompt in returning what she borrows. After it has served it's purpose she f0rgets it and is profuse in her apologies. She always has some excuse for being late in returning the article. In fact she is full of excuses, excuses for borrowing and excuses for not returning.
 
 Bernice lives from day to day. She never looks forward. Although she is popular with the boys in her set she would not make good wife. She would fail in her housekeeping. When she started to bake a cake she would be sure to be lacking in the necessary ingredients. By the time she had run around the neighborhood and collected what she needed it would be too late to bake the cake.
 But some day it is to be hoped that forceful man win come along and cure Bernice of her great weakness. He will make her see the. error of her ways. But he will be taking chance for she is very attractive and may involve him. Until then she will be victim of her habit.
 She is type.
