THERE IS REAL REASON TO BUY AT HOME

Monday, March 16 will witness the opening of
the fourth annual Trade at Home-Use Arizona
Products" week held in Arizona--the fourth con-
certed effort on the part of civic organizations of
the state to keep Arizona money in Arizona, where
it will develop the states industry and resources

Practically every city in the state will join in

preparation and distribution and promote the con-
sumption Of the states varied products.
Throughout the week it will be stressed every
where that trading at home will result in actual
benefit to the individual purchaser; that it is a
matter of individual advantage as much as civic
patriotism. There is real proof for this vieW too
The sole result of trading at home is the crea-
tion of more business, and more permanent pros
perity. But what are the results of developing the
business of your community!
One result is the growth of present business
and the establishment of new ones. This means
employment of more people, and room for new
residents. 1t also means there will be more tax
able property and more people to pay for public
improvements schools, roads, parks, paved
streets, etc.
Another result is that increased volume of busi-
ness may we'll mean lower prices, by reducing the
proportionate overhead. Add to that the more eff
ficent service it will be possible to give, and the
larger stocks which may be carried
All these items apply with equal force to the
use of Arizona products to build UP the business
of the entire state, with resultant additional en-
ployment, greater taxable property. Trade at

DIRE IRE


Senator Ashursts among all the august-sone

reported to nave been the most panied when Vice
President Dawes brushed aside senatorial methods
on March and swore in all the senators in
toto instead of in bunches of four, as customary
heretofore.
Senator Ashurst it is reliably reported, shook
his finger at the vice-president and with voice
trembling with angry emotion" denounced his
of custom.
1t takes real important things like that to wake
Senator Ashurst up. Things of minor Importance,
like the Colorado river question, for instance he
boasts never can wiring an expression of opinion
from him.
Vice-President Dawes made horrible mistake
when he awoke the ire of Henry. He'll have to
pay for it some day. Some day, as sure as fate,
he'll have to shake his own finger back at Henry.
We don't believe anything short of that ever can
intimidate Henry and make him recede from the
yengeful attitude he has assumed.
Henry has such memory for faces, he'll likely
have to have some brother-senator point Dawes
out to him each day before he can place him and
know in which direction to flash his angry-burn-
ing eyes. The writer recalls with embarrassment
hew he himself was grabbed by the hand six times
in less than an hour last summer by Henry and
each time unctuously informed: I'm mighty glad
to meet you again, sir; mighty glad to meet you
