one just about TO open. 1t is good
plan to look backward II we intend to
profit by the experience OF the past,
but let us not linger too long; let all
Of our attention be directed to the
front. There Is much to accomplish
and a consecrated life demands that
all Of our spiritual faculties be alert
The Apostle Paul once occupied just
such a vantage point as we now en-
joy; he, too, stood with the past just
behind him and the future just ahead;
and he gave utterance to the following
which we will do well to ponder:
This one thing 1 do, forgetting
those things which are behind and
reaching forth untos those things
which are before, ! press forward to-
ward the mark for the prize Of the
high calling of God In Christ Jesus"
If 1 might be privileged to suggest
motto for the new year upon which
we will enter soon l could find moth
ing more appropriate than Reaching
FORTH" and I would urge this to the
exclusion Of Looking Back ~ Reach
forth to grasp each golden opportun-
ity as 1t approaches; reach forth to
make this new year the best year In
your life's history, reach forth to
claim the rich blessing which God has
in store for us and for all of His chill
dren who desire it.
"Reach Forth" will mean 49, Tve are
TO strive to be helpful ami :" :"t INTO
practice the teachings of Jesus the
Christ There are many Of these teach
ings, but all Of them may be summed
up In the new commandment which
Jesus said is tho consummation OF all
of them-"ThOu shalt love the Lord
THY God with all thy heart, with all
thy soul, with all thy strength and
with all thy mind and thy neighbor as
myself"
He was a wise old Quaker who
said: "Friend, thee will pass through
this world but once; therefore, any
good thing thee can do, or any kind
ness thee can show to any human be-
ing do it now. DO not defer 1t or
neglect 1t for thee will not pass this
way again; the paths Of procrastina-
ton will but lead thee to the grave"
If this shall be our spirit we will
find that our happiness and spiritual
growth will increase with each helpful
deed, and as we give Of our rich store
of thoughtful words and helpful deeds
we will find that the storehOuse, ITSELF
will be replenlshed.
We hear much about turning over
new leaves" This is well, but care
should be taken to glue the old ones
down. Let us not bring forward from
the old pages the old accounts that
have marred and spotted those pages.
When we turn the new leaf let us put
the spirit of Jesus the Christ at the
top and then allow nothing to be en-
tered Hereunder that is not fully in
keeping with the firsteline.

three months ago from the west and
lived in one of Emil Lipp's houses.
Neill arrested him on suspicion that
he was the miscreant that had been
writing obscenities on the walls at
the Woman's club house and the
churches. Neill says he admitted the
charge and said he did it because he
was being prosecuted. He claims to
be doctor and fortune teller He

JOHN IVENS POST AT THE
CANYON, PLANS BIG TIME

It is expected that the resident
physician at Grand Canyon will be
kept pretty busy April 8th, treating
a long string Of patients for a new
disease called "laughteritis.
The agency spreading the disease
is a joint entertainment committee of
John Iyens Post No. AZ, American
Legion, dt the Grand Canyon, and the
post auxiliary. At a meeting held
March 24th, this joint committee
drew up plans for social evening at
the school house on the night of
April TIN, ard it is expected that that
night will go down in the history of
the post as one of the merriest in its
entire existence.
The plan looks like a "knock- OUT
and is expected to be that very thing
when put into effect. The scheme
calls for each member of both or
ganiZations to go through with some
stunt, known only to the members of
the entertainment committee, and of
which the "stuntee" will be in ignor-
ance until called upon.
All Legionnaires and members of
the auxiliary are urged to be pres
ent. Each one is privileged to bring
one guest. If the audience doesn't
have a rip-snorter of a good time, it
will not be the fault of the entertain
ment committee.
After the stunts have been pulled
ice cream and cake will be served.
A cordial invitation is especially
sent to the Legionnaires and auxiliary
units in Williams and Flagstaff to
come up to the Grand Canyon and
help us have good time.
The entertainment committee at it's
meeting the oath also went into the
question of having minstrel show
in the near future, and after quite
bit of favorable discussion the date
was set for the fore part of May,
preferably before the 18th of the
month, in view of the fact that the
heavy tourist travel to the Park be-
gins about that time, and everyone
in the Park is buster than the pro-
verbal "one-armed Mexican bandit in
a bank"
Don't forget April 7th, 1924. We
want to see quite a delegation of
Legionnaires from both Flagstaff
and Williams

Votes for Convention

Convention delegates will be chos-
en-, the executive committee decided,
at meetings of various county repub-
lican committees, which are made up
of precinct committeeman.
Certification of the delegates to the
state convention must be in the mails
not later than April 18, 10 days be-
fore the convention date. Certifica-
tions will be addressed to Roy David
son, secretary of the Arizona repub-
lican central committee, care of the
Hotel Adams, Phoenix.
Complete harmony marked the
meeting of the executive committee
all business being disposed of quickly
after routine preliminaries had been
concluded. The routine requirement
of naming a credentials committee to
pass on the qualifications of those at
tending occupied more than half the
meeting time The selection Of the
meeting place, the naming of date
for the state convention and the de-
termining of convention representa-
ton occupied less than five minutes.
Members of the credentials COM
mittee were Col. Fred S. Breen of
Flagstaff; F. A. Norman of Tucson;
Joseph E. Noble of Phoenix, James
P. Boyle of Bisbee and L. L. Henry
of Globe.
H. A. Clark of Douglas was then
chosen temporary chairman to serve
in the absence Of P. d. Overfield, who
has since his, selection as committee
chairman in 1922 moved from Casa
Grande to the coast. Secretary Da-
wilson of Jerome, was present.
With preliminaries cleared, the
committee quickly disposed of pend
ing matters.
A total of 81 committeeman and an
additional IL proxies were present
for the voting, accounting for 48 of
the possible 81 central committee
members.

REPUBLICANS WILL HOLD
STATE CONVENTION AT
PHOENIX ON APRIL l9

Phoenix was chosen as the 1924
meeting place of the state republican
convention to be held on Monday,
April %, at the meeting of the state
republican central committee at the
Hotel Adams.
Phoenix was the unanimous choice
of the 48 votes which were cast, Civ
ing to the capital city its first state
republican convention.
The basis of representation in the.
convention, it was decided, will be. one
convention vote for every 200 votes
polled in 1922 for Thomas Campbell,
republican candidate for governor
The convention will have a maximum
membership of 153.
The selection of Phoenix became
definitely assured as result of an
eleventh hour conference instituted
Friday evening by Hugh Daggs, who
had returned from the coast the eve
ming before. At the end of the con-
ference, it was agreed by southern
county delegates that Phoenix should
be selected and that Committeeman
H. S. Corbett of Pima county, which
had been the chief contender for the
location, should second the nomination
of the capital city as a meeting place.
The pre-meeting arrangement regard
ing the convention place, as well az
other matters which could properly
come before the executive committee
rendered the proceedings a ratifica-
tion rather than deliberate proceed
ure.
The following table gives by coun-
ties the number of votes polled in
1922 for Mr.. Campbell and the num-
Der of votes which each county will
be allowed in the approaching state
convention:

back home on train No. Saturday
night. Billy mapped little and the
train still had him as passenger when
it pulled out. He induced the con-
ductor to stop before Riordan was
reached, whereupon he counted the
ties all the way back home. He's
still shuddering over the number he
might have had to count if he hadn't
got the best of the argument against

SOME GANG!

Employment in the Ford Motor
company organization is now at the
highest point in the company's his
tory and reflects in general way
the prosperous condition existing IN
the country as well as in the auto
mobile industry.
There are approximately $4,000
workers employed in Ford industries
in the United States. Of these, more
than $4,000 work in branch assem-
bly, plants.
The largest number employed an
any single manufacturing unit, is. of
course, at the Highland Park plant
at Detroit, where 68,500 men are at
work.
The biggest increase in the number
employed at any one place during the
last year was made at the River
Rouge plant. A year ago 28,000 men
were employed there, while today
there are nearly $4,000.
Other manufacturing units, includ-
ing the Lincoln car plant at Detorit,
and the plants at Kearney, N. j.,
Hamilton, Ohio, Green Island, N. Y,
Glassmere, Pa, and Poughkeepsie, N.
Y, employ close to 11,000 men.
Smaller plants around Detroit give
employment to more than 300, while
at present there are over 1000 men
at work on the company's timber
and iron ore properties IN the upper
peninsula of Michigan.
Ford coal mines in Kentucky and
West Virginia are giving employment
to more than $500 men and the De-
troit, Toledo & Ironton, the Ford
railroad, employs in excess of $500
men.

turned Friday from an expedition to
the Hawaiian Islands where they
spent two languorous months watch
ing the gorgeous sunsets at Waikiki,
going to native luaus where the an

one trip to the volcano only to find
that most of the lava had gone over
the top the day before when Pele,
GOODIES of the volcano, had stirred in
her sleep.
They enjoyed their trip immensely,
but returned with the love. of Flag
staff in their hearts. Now that they
are back they intend to locate here

The other darkey, the one Rudd
grabbed, turned out to be Harry
Waits, alias Arthur Henderson, who
jumped bail on a grand larceny
charge in Kansas City in 1922. He
freely told all about it and said he
wants to go back to K. G. and to the
pen for two reasons, one because it
was his mother-in-law who put up the
bail, and he wants her to get her
money back, and the other because he
had just recently fallen back into the
dope habit and he wants to get into
TIE pen and get broken of it.
