THE BETTER CLASS OF TRADE

The See Arizona First campaign put over last
summer in this state achieved several useful pur-
poses Not the least of these consists in the edu-
cation of residents of communities in the scenic
sections of the state to the very great value OF
the business of home folk tourists Business men
of such communities, who prior to the Inaugural
tion of the movement paid serious attention only
to tourist traffic originating outside the state.
were brought to realization that the business OF
the vacationists of their own state was cleaner,
more profitable and easier to satisfy than that OF
strangers.
Among other things, the hotel men learned that
the Arizona visitor was not prone to carry away
the blankets from his beds when leaving. The
garage men found that they did not have to keep
such close watch upon their tools in order to pre-
vent their departure when the home folks were
around.
The trans-continenta tourist obsessed with the
consuming desire to get to California in the quick
est possible time, likely bought a few gallons of
gasoline and quart of oil and sped on his way &c
the next town. The AriZonan, on the contrary
would probably patronize the garages, restaurants
and hotels for several days. He would likely take
one or more side trips around the country. He
would get acquainted with several of the >loca
business men. They would exchange views upon
the merits of their respective home towns, and
friendship and mutual understanding would de-
velop. Before the Arizonan left the community
which he was visiting, he would have reached the
point where he was calling several of the residents
by their first names.
When it came time to continue upon his way
he was invited with sincerity to COME again. And
the local resident would promise to look him up
and help open keg of nails the next time he came
to the visitors home town.
They would separate with broader sympathy
and tolerance for the problems of each others
part of the state and would be better ATlzonans
and less provincial and sectionalistic.
And those things have very genuine value in

ARCTICKEIsH EXPERIENCES

Two explorers of the far north were
relating their experiences to each
other and naturally drifted around to
the subject of temperature.
"Would you believe it," narrated
the first. "In 1911 it was SO cold up
around Baffin's bay that ii man
wanted to get downstairs in hurry,
all he would have to- do would be to
throw bucket of water out of the
window and slide down the ic'cle."
'Call that cold ?" ridiculed the other.
"Why, up in Greenland on the. hottest
davs of the summer, we had to build
a fire under the COW to keep her from
giving ice cream.

LUMBER INDUSTRY OUTLOOK GOOD

There is every reason to believe that there will
be fairly good market for all western timber
products, and that logging and lumber industries
will see no great slump in 1925. Forest products
are still the most widely used material even ir
cases where steel, brick, cement other materla
are basic, lumber is widely employed.
Estimates are made that there will be at least
5000, ,000,0 900 worth of building in the United
States during 1925. This is somewhat under the
1924 record The national housing shortage is
still fact and the pressure is strong enough t.
insure constant demand and tremendous mar
ket for lumber

John Lewis, colored Pullman porter on a Soc
line car that plunged into the Chippewa river, IS
in a hospital with hands and feet frozen With
aead cut and body bruised he stood in the ice cold
water temperature below zero, and helped the liv-

He stuck to his post not only as matter of duty,
but as heroic, human citizen, offering his life to
save life. John Lewis should receive every honor

The smuggling of aliens into the United States
has become more serious the laws regulating
their entry became more severe. 1t is estimated
that for every immigrant who enters our ports in
conformity with the law there is another alien
who slips across the border surreptitiously. Our
border guards are alive to their tasks and have
made SO many arrests that local officials are
complaining of congestion in their jails. There
are some people who believe that the wholesale
violations of the immigration law have proved It's
futility. The practice of alien smuggling is wide
spread, but it's evil effects are insignificant COM

who would rush into the country were the bars

rant will be allotted to keep the undesirables out

there will be no surrender by this administration

Seemingly there is little, if any, opposition to
the measure now before the state legislature to
make both our state normal schools teachers, col
leges with special four-year courses for degrees.
Apparently all of the prominent educators of the
state and the alumni of both schools solidly
behind the plan. 1t is an upward movement that
is bound to come anyway, unless Arizona is to re-
main behind most of the other states in this
respect.

the biggest summer they ever have had. Tourist
travel will be much larger than ever before. The
big payrols and vast amount of local buying OF
various supplies connected with the development
projects now under way or soon to begin will
mean greatly increased trade. Several hundred
thousand dollars will be spent in Flagstaff

a good many smaller buildings to be erected New

that our housing facilities are far from adequate

dance music orchestras will be
the featured attractions at the
Mayflower Hotel during the fall
and winter social season. The

ira will furnish the best of
modern music in the Presiden-

"Mayflower" orchestra will spe-

MayfIower Gardens.
instrumental makeup of the
Tupman Presidential orchestra
is interesting and especially
adapted to interpreting lighter
or more serious selections. A
harmonium or "bahy organ"
supplements the piano and gives
rich deep undertones.
No brass is used. Even the
saxaphones, are eliminated in
favor of harmonium and cello
for rich, soft, restful effects
suitable to a dignified place
such as the Presidential room.
1t will also broadcast ideally for
radio work. =
