Patent Office i'm Lead.
Printing for the Patent Office has
become the biggest single job handled
by the Government Printing Office, re-
quiring the output of 60 linotype ma
chimes working s hours day through
out the year. Another tremendous
job of a different sort, being almost
entirely preSswork and shipping, Is
the printing of all the postal cards
used throughout the United States.
A new record for this work was set
during the past year when 1885,
$50 cards were printed. This exceeded
the 1924 output by 342 .303,710.
The Post Office Department esti-
mates that it will require 1,791 .299 900
postal cards for the present year.
Recently the Government Printing
Office installed three new postal card
presses that are marVels for produc
ton and mechanical perfection. Each
press will produce 6,400 printed postal
cards a minute, and the three presses
have a combined output of over $1,000,
600 cards for an eight-hour working
day. A 33-inch roll of paper is used
for printing the cards. so Impressions
being made with each revolution of
the plate cylinder. The new presses
can also be adjusted to print and
cut the paper into sheets of 40 cards
each and to print on both sides of
a perforated double card as required
for the well known 'reply" cards.

had of the vast volume of trade that
is represented by the 220, 500,600
money orders printed for use last year.
A visit to this vast printing plant
diScloseS many things of interest but
none that attracts more attention than
the Pershing linotype, which was used
at Gen. Pershing's headquarters, Chau-
mont, France, to set type for the most
confidential communication of the gen
eral staff of the American Army. When
the commander of the American expe-
dictionary forces decided to establish
a printing plant at Chaumont. he de-
tailed Maj w. w. Kirby to procure
the necessary equipment in France.
Maj. Kirby located two linotype
machines in a small French printing
office, and despite the protest Of the
French Military Commission, trans
ported them by canal and truck to
Gen. Pershings headquarters. After
the armistice the war printing plant
was dismantled and shipped to Camp
Humphreys, Va, from which camp
the Pershing machine finally was
transferred to the Government Print
ing Office.

Proceedings, House Hears.

The smuggling of aliens into this
country has been steadily increasing
despite greater vigilance of border
patrols, until there are now 81 1894 de-
portable aliens in jails or other insti-
buttons as public charges, it was dis
closed with the publication of testi-
mony by Commissioner General Hull
of the immigration Bureau before the
House appropriations committee.
The bureau faces probable deficit
of $3.50 900 at the end of the year, Mr..
Hull said, despite the suspension of
deportation for several months last
year. OF the 15,904 aliens arrested and
deported during the last two fiscal
years, he continued, about 10000 en-
tered the United States unlawfully.
Mr. Hull's testimony was given dur
ing preparation of an appropriation
bill carrying $S0,011 ,631 for the De-
partments Of State. Justice. Commerce
and Labor for the next fiscal year,
which was reported in the House yes
terday. He estimated that 662.670
aliens We're in the United States I'M
lawfully prior to June 3, 1921, and
that 275,835 more had entered since
that time.

AN ECHO OF THE PAST
prescott Courier

Senator Cameron in his cam
paign declared the Anaconda Cop
per company, and it's affiliated
concerns, was very anxious for his
defeat, as it owned more foreign
copper properties than any other
American corporation, which his
copper tariff scheme would hit"
1t was alleged that the Anconda's s
president had sent $4,000 to an
Albuquerque A bank to filter into
Arizona" against the senator. This,
however, developed to be nothing
but a lot of bunk" without q
shred of truth in 1.-THE investi-
cation at Phoenix showed the claim
was a shallow dream.
But something else did mature
in the investigation; it was shown
that Thomas F. Cole contributed
cash to Cameron's campaign fund.
Cole of the Cole-Ryan syndicate,
which has a great deal to do with
the Anaconda, and directs the An
conda's affiliated companies, es-
pecially those in the southwest.
Winslow daily mail., 1926-12-10
With Other Editors

Cole is recognized as the min
ing man" of the Amalgamated cor
poration's interest. While he is a
man Of the highest character, free
in his beliefs and generous in his
conclusions, it is unlikely he would
give his own money to aid one
whose doctrine was against the
copper companies, as the investi-
cation at Phoenix showed the claim
was shallow dream.
Insofar as the Anconda was con-
cerned, none of it's officers prob
ably knew Cameron was running
neither did they care. Coles con-
tribution doubtless was at the soil
citation of some friend in Arizona,
since he does not know Cameron
personally. He had right to give
the aid, but he would not have done
so had he thought it would be in
behalf of a proposition to cause
loss to his companies.
The copper experts know a
copper tariff would not make a
bit of difference in the price of
the metal, since this country pro
duces more than the domestic con-
sumption.

THE .COMMUNITY'S ADVERTTS.
ef4 ING POSTER

In this day any live community
must advertise if it would grow
and prosper. The outside world
Judges town by the advertising
it puts out. UuIess this advertising
speaks. we'll of a town the out
side world will pass up that COM
munity,
Community advertising must
take on many forms. Every store
building, every residence building,
every street and every walk is one
of the eommunity's cards. The Wis
itor may be favorably or unfavor-
ably impressed by these. Schools.
churches, clubs and lodges also
have advertising value. The wise
community takes pride in all of
these and sees that they are cred
| it to it.
There are numerous other ways
in which a community may adver-
tise. Maps, books, travel guides,
signs, magazine articles, all have
advertising value. But there is an
other medium of community adver-
tising which cannot be overlooked
by a community that would grow
and prosper This medium is the
local paper. A town without a To-
cal paper is not on the map.
The local paper is the truest in
dex to, the prosperity and progress
of a community that any commun-
ity has. When a prospective in
vestor in a distant community
wants to know about your town,
he writes for copy of the home
paper. Letters are received every
week by the local paper, asking for
copy Of the latest edition. If
these individuals do not know the
name of the paper they write to the
Chamber of Commerce or the Post
Master, asking for a copy. Their
request is always gratified. What
do these sample" copies tell about
your business, Winslow business
man, Does your ad tell these pos
sible future residents and investors
that your business is prosperous
and progressive and an asset to
your community?
Every business man in a COM
munity should place his card in
the local paper at least, that the
local paper may tell true story
