THE FIRST QUARTER CENTURY

WITH the close of this month
the world will have completed
the first quarter of the goth CEN
tury. Some of us will remember
when along about 20 or % years
ago, to call anything "20th century
used to suggest a most wonderful
state of advance. Back a little fur
ther than that, the 18th century
was considered the marvel of his
tory. But when you got into the
Goth century, then it seemed as if
the world had reached a state of
advanced progress almost beyond
the realms of wonder.
Automobiles then were only just
beginning to be used. Adventurous
pioneers had been experimenting
with them for some years. They
were queer looking and acting
things compared with the modern
car.
The telephone had been perfected
to a large extent, and had become
a great help in business, but its
use was far from peneral. Men
who did newspaper work in those
days will tell how they had to
tramp all over a city owing to the
relative scarcity of telephones.
These 25 years have made most
marvellous development in scienti-
fic and technical progress. Wheth-
er there has been equal moral pro-
gress would be question for some
dispute. There seems to be more
conscience in business and politics.
Many abuses taken for granted
then, would not be tolerated now.
Industry is probably more harmoni-
Gus, in spite of all labor troubles.
The prosperity and advantages en-
joyed by the ordinary workers have
vastly improved.
Education has advanced marvel
ously. Some of the old-timers will
say there is more moral laxity, par
ticularly among young people, but
it will be said by many that this
is merely because people are more
frank about what they do. Any
way not many of us would care to
go back to 1900, or to dwell in a
country where 1900 conditions ex-

I ADVERTISING CUTS PRICES

DERSONS who have not given the
subject of advertising serious
thought may be inclined to believe
that standard products could be
sold cheaper if the manufacturers
did not spend SO much money in
advertising them. The contrary is
the truth.
Every concern which seeks a gen
eral market for it's goods finds it
necessary to set aside a certain
sum each year for advertising, and
this is charged as a part of the
operating expenses, the same as
rent fuel or insurance. The aim
of the advertising manager is to
buy the largest possible circulation
among persons who would be in =
terested in his product.
Every manufacturer has certain
fixed charges which must be paid
out of the receipts from the busi-
ness, and the larger the volume of
business that can be created the
less per article is charged for the
payment of overhead costs. This
volume of business is obtained on
ly by creating a demand for the
goods, and it is most quickly and
cheaply done by direct appeal
through the newspapers.
The same principle which OBJ
tains in the case of the general ad-
| vertiser could be applied in the
business of the smallest merchant
The quicker the turnover which
a dealer is able to make the soon
er his profit is obtained and the
cash is put in the till for new pur-
chases. Advertising of the practi-
| cal kind will help to make quick
er sales and more frequent pro
fits. The result it that the retailer
with the aid of the general adver-
tiser, is able to maintain stand
ard prices and quality in the wide
ly advertised articles.

WOODROW WILSON

THE people of Winslow will cele-
brate the sixty-ninth anniver-
sary of the birth of Woodrow Will
son, who was born December rs,
1856, at Staunton, Virginia, at a
banquet at the Baptist church hall
Monday evening, at which appropri-
ate expressions will be made in
appreciation of the war presidents S
value to his country. Paul Geary,
of Holbrook, Navajo county's most
eloquent speaker, and himself an
ardent admirer of Wilson, will de-
liver the principal address.
The local celebration is part OF
a national movement started at the
request of many men and women
throughout the country, to stimu
late in every city and town the OBJ
servance of the birthday of Wood
row Wilson and to recall to mind
again
t'that a man of great faith has
lived in our era, prophet that
guided our country and stirred
the heart of mankind in an
hour of destiny and that an in
corruptible liberal, afame with
will to advance the slow as
cent of men, has joined those
whom men call immortal and
stands among that high fell
lowship"
His practical ideals are surely
bringing the world nearer to a
lasting peace. History, even in our
day, will blazon the acclaim "Well
done, thou good and faithful ser
want over the pages of his finish
ed earthly career.
Though he now belongs to the
ages his unconquerable spirit and
his passion for international right
eousness, truth and justice in hu-
manity's cause constitute our price
less heritage.
without Washington the Re-
public might never have been
possible = without Lincoln it
might have gone into dissolu-
ton. 1t was left to the cour-
age and genius of Woodrow
Wilson to place it foremost
among the Governments of the
World"

MARRIED WAGE FARMERS

TNHE women of the future, so far
as physically able, will be helping
their husbands support their fam1-
lies, according to the prediction of
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, made
in recent address at Milwaukee.
She felt that the standards of ex-
pense and the level of prices will
continue to rise, making it neces-
sary for the women to take hold
and help their husbands.
The women of 20 years ago
would have groaned at such pros
pect. Not merely were most of
them unable to do anything to help
support their families, but very
great number required help to do
their own housework.
Probably the housework of the
ordinary home is not more than
half what it was 25 years ago
owing to new inventions and Gus
toms. The modern woman is full
of energy, and if she can get more
of the benefits of the world by TAX
ing on some activities outside the
home, she will not hesitate to do so

WILL PRESIDENT COOLIDGE
STAND FOR THIS

ENGINEER E. &. LaRue of the
u. S. geological survey, is up
against a hard proposition. He IS
against the construction of the
Boulder Canyon dam proposition
and says that this dam would make
available in Mexico, water suffic1
ent to irrigate a million acres of
land at a direct expense of a SINH
lar area in the United States. He
further told the senate committee
which is investigating the Boulder
Canyon project and all problems
generally relating to the rivers de-
velopment, that the Boulder Can
yon project would waste through
unnecessary evaporation, a great
quantity of water yearly and that
its construction would upset any
comprehensive plan for develop
ment of all the resources of the
river"
The thinking people of the south
west know perfectly well that En-
gineer LaRue is fighting the battle
of his life against big money and
political odds, without a possible
hope of personal gain.
We have no doubt but what there
are still a lot of high financiers'
in this country who can not under
stand why LaRue won't change his
official opinion and retire from the
government service with a compel
ency that would last him all the
rest of his days.
Billions of dollars are at stake
in the Colorado river development
game. A few hundred thousand
dollars expended one way or the
other, is but small change in this
fight for or against the develop
ment of a southwestern empire. /
looks at present as though Engin
eer LaRue was not figuring on re
firing from the government service
and is still making out with the
salary the government sees fit t.
pay him.
President Coolidge may be mucl
wiser as to what is going on in th'
southwest than we think. If not
the Colorado river development
schemes bid fair to make the Tea

AID FOR WESTERN ROADS

WHILE reaction throughout the
" country generally to President
Coolidge's message to congress re-
lative to federal aid for highways
appears generally favorable, there
is a growing sentiment that the
well-known caution of the Chief
Executive caused him to stop short
of the ends hoped for in govern
ment participation in highway
building.
According to comment through
out the west, the president leaves
the intimation that federal aid, as
now constituted, may be regarded
as temporary expediency to be
done away with at some future
time. Also, there is apparently lit
tie thought of needed provision for
adequate highways to and within
the vast recreational and scenic
areas which have been apprOpriat-
ed by the government for all the
people, and which, for the most
part, are situated in the least pop
ulous states, which states also have
the greatest difficulty in financing
road projects.
While concurring heartily with
President Coolidge in his recon-
mendation that the national govern
ment is concerned only with aid
ing in the construction of highways
acknowledged of primary import
ance, it is pointed out that roads
making accessible the national
parks and forest recreationa1 areas
may well be designated as primary
in national Importance, although
they may not form parts of trans
continental travel arteries. The
claim is made that since the mil
lions of acres comprising the great
national parks and national forests
are the sole property of the gov
ernment and under government ad-
ministration, these should be i'm
proved and developed at the ex-
pense of all of the people, just as
is the District of Columbia, which
is the property of and under the
jurisdiction of the national govern
ment.
The geysers of Yellowstone, the
giant forests of the Sierras, the
Grand Canyon of the Colorado, the
living glaciers of Washington, the
only living volcano on the contin-
ent, are treasured heritages of all
the people Each year there is a
large increase in the number of
visitors. The vast wealth in timber
minerals and grazing lands is con-
trolled by the government Hence,
it is generally conceded that the
government should shoulder the re-
sponsibility of building adequate
highways, making these vast play
grounds accessible, just as a city
develops and improves it's recrea-
tion centers.

Prayer
BY LORETTA BAUER
(Written for The Mail)

Instill in our hearts an immeasur-
able calmness,
When Life's last hour is near
Infiame the soul that is dying,
With a holy immortal fear.
When the breath comes slow and
the tide is ebbing-
And the sands are falling-so cold,
When the voices of world are
vacantly calling,
Give us Thy hand to hold.

"hopes and ambitions" of private

that President Coolidge has bum
bunch of advisers toting him down

Christmas Song

Why do bells for Christmas ring
Why do little children sing?
Once a lovely shining star,
Seen by shepherds from afar,
Gently moved until it's light
Made a anger-cradle bright
There a darling baby lay
Pillowed soft among the hay.
And his mother sang and smiled.
This is Christ, the Holy Child"
So the bells for Christmas ring,
So TIE little children sing.
