PROCLAIMS BIRD DAY
TUESDAY, APRIL IL

Whereas, the relation and impor-
tance of bird life to the common well
fare and specially to the agricultural
interests is a subject deserving more
general recognition, and
Whereas, carefully prepared statis-
ties show, that birds are very essen
tial to the protection of crops and
add materially to the wealth of the
state by destroying obnoxious insects,
and
Whereas, the decrease in bird life
Of our state and nation is one of the
causes for the increase of numerous
pests which are costing the farmers
of this country millions of dollars
annually, and
Whereas, the preservation of the
same must come in large measure
through instilling in the minds of the
school children of the state love of
nature and a knowledge of her bene-
factions;
To the end, therefore, that the pub
lie schools and all societies as well as
individuals may cooperate in the work
of saving the birds of the state from
wanton slaughter by the thoughtless,
/, George w. P. Hunt, governor of
the state of Arizona, do hereby des-
ignate and appoint Friday, April IL,
as Bird Day, and | hereby request
that all teachers Of the public schools
and the people generally shall observe
the same with appropriate exercises,
that better understanding may be
had of bird-life.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the great
seal of the state Of Arizona to be af-
fixed.
Done at Phoenix, the capital, this
first day of April, A. d., 1924.

which Flagstaff is the county seat,
has not the revenue, nor has 1t the
means of raising the necessary rev.
enue, for the proper grading, drain
ing and surfacing said Old Trails
highway between Flagstaff and Wins
low, and
Whereas, at conference between
u. S. forest officials, bureau of public
road engineers and the Arizona state
highway officials held in Phoenix,
Arizona, on February / to 3, 1922, a
certain forest highway program for
the state of Arizona was outlined,
discussed and adopted, which program
was definitely approved by the secre-
tary of agriculture on May 22, 1922.
This program included the Flagstaff
Angel project. In 1922 $125,500 was
apportioned to this project, but this
amount was reduced to $4,000. In
1923 the construction apportionment
to be used in 1924, for this project
was approximately $131,000, and
Whereas, we are informed that 1t
is now proposed to reduce this amount
of $131,0 900 to approximately $4,000
by diverting $550,000 to be applied to
portance, and which road is not on the
approved program, nor has the route
thereof yet been surveyed, and
Whereas, the county of Coconlno,
state of Arizona, believing that the
completion of the program as approx
ed by the secretary of agriculture to
be of primary Importance, has pooled
its entire highway resources, in the
sum of $4,000, to assist the state
highway department in financing the
construction of the Old Trails high
way from Winslow westerly, con-
Meeting with the Flagstaff-Angell
project, which connection will elm
mate the worst stretch heretofore ex-
isting on the entire Old Trails high
way.
Now, therefore, we do hereby unal-
terably oppose any reductions in the
apportionment, or any change in this
construction program until the same
has been completed, and respectfully
urge a speedy completion of this
project.

SHOPPER

A tiller of the soil from Pohick
Crossroads trudged into shoe store
with his nine children and said to the
clerk: II want 'em all fitted" The
obliging clerk went to the job and as
rapidly as he had each one of the
bunch fitted, the farmer asked: "Now
what size is that?" The clerk gave
him the information, which the farm
er wrote on a slip of paper.
When all we're fitted, the clerk fig
ured minute and said: "Now, that
will be $58.O0."
"Oh," said the farmer, 'I don't
want to buy their shoes here. / just
want to be sure of the sizes. | am
going home now and order them from
Sears -Roebuck."
Don't laugh at this for it only par
alIels tragedy daily enacted in the
printing business by the habitual
shopper.
There is but one way to break up
this iniquitous custom, and that is to
run the standard cost system in your
shop, and then talk it at every oppor-
tunity to every shopper who enters
your plant.-Typotheta Of Washing

DID YOU EVER STOP

BY E. R. WAITE,
Secretary Shawnee, Oklahoma,

That business men who do not be-
lieve in promotion of business by
truthful advertising are rapidly being
replaced by those who do.
That newspaper advertising is the
quickest way of reaching the great
est number of people in the least
time, and is the last word in service
given by any business to its custom
ers.
That the successful business is sue
cessful because it does things others
fail to dot advertises.
That there is such thing as sci
ence in advertising. Certain meth
DDS are more effective than others.
That the science of advertising has
been developed by the newspapers to
such a point where definite rules ap-
plicable to every line of business have
been worked out.
That everywhere you will find that
those business concerns that adver-
tise are leading the field, while those
who do little or no advertising are
grumbling about having no business.
That "Rome was not built in day."
Neither can business be built by
one days advertising. The business
that succeeds is the business that
keeps everlastingly advertising.
That a business can only sell the
people it can reach. Newspaper adj
vertising reaches everybody.
Business concerns must realize that
to those who do not know them, they
do not exist. 1t takes persistent adj
vertising to make the people know
them and not forget them.

The seventh clause in the code of
ethics is: "To understand that one of
the greatest assets of a professional
or of a business man is his friends
and that any advantage gained by
reason of friendship is eminently
ethical and proper"
my Interpretation of this would
be that if we want to make a sue
cess of our business or profession we
must make friends.
1t has often been said that there
is no such thing as friendship in
business. How much better it will
be for us all when we realize that
friendship and business must link to-
gether. / feel that we are very rap

do not think that friendship
should enter into our bargainings or

words our clients, patients or Gus

ed to other than monetary advan-
tages.
