ADVERTISING AND THE
"READING MOOD"
(Nogales Herald)

In comparison with other costs
of doing business, advertising costs
can not be said to be high unless
the advertiser makes them So Good
advertising and much advertising
is far cheaper than poor advertis
ing and no advertising. Though
the statement may sound paradoxi-
cal, it must be remembered that
successful businesses devote a
greater proportionate budget to ad
vertising than less successful ones.
There are only two major factors
in successful advertising of honest
products; the right kind of copy"
in wording and display, and the
right medium through which to
place it before the public. The
newspaper, which contains reader
interest for the entire family is the
best known and proven medium for
obtaining direct and timely inter
est. The homes welcome visitor
the newspaper-reaches the mem
bers of the family in the reading
mood" 1t is during this reading
mood (Which is also the thinking
mood) that minds are made up and
decisions reached. And the news
paper is the best known basis for
this interest-mood so highly valued
by advertisers.

"SEE ARIZONA FIRST"
(Bisbee Review

(B1SD66 sR6Vl6W)
"It is the grandest thing l have
ever seen!"
These words were uttered by the
crown prince of Sweden, who, with
his wife, stood at the brink of the
Grand Canyon and gazed out into
the awesome space and marveled at
it's grandeur, its kalaesdescopic
tints and its bigness The blue
Hooded visitor from the Norselands
did not speak an original thought,
for the lumber man from Oregon,
the textile manufacturer from Wor-
cester, the butter and egg man
from New York already had pro-
nounced the Grand Canyon to be
the most wonderful of the Seven
Wonders of the World. No one can
look, into the canyon without draw
ing deep breath and marveling at
the work of nature.
The Swedish prince and thous-
ands of others have visited this
awe-inspiring canyon at the expense
of several days of limited time. Yet
it is safe to state that not more
than one-third of the people of Ar
izona have seen the worlds great
est natural wonder, which is at
their very back door, as it were.
Arizonans will spend several hun
dred dollars and two or three weeks
touring California in search of new
scenery, when for less cost and
time theV could visit the Grand
Canyon and see more in 10 minutes
than they can find in all of Cali
fornia in a month.
Not only the Grand Canyon is
available to Arizona vacationists.
In the same vicinity are Montezu-
ma Well, the Painted Desert, the
Hopi Villages and dozens of other
places of interest rich in history
and beauty. See Arizona First" is
a slogan that if adopted will be Of
mutual benefit to all.

Special Dispatch to Tho star,
BIRNI1NGHAM, May S. The
Phillips High School of this city has
established another record in the
national oratorical contest. Last
night its representative, Arthur Glenn
Andrews, 17-year-old senior. won the.
Alabama championship, thereby MAX
ing that school unique among all the
high schools OF the United states in

years in succession.
That the success of the spokesmen
for that school is due to real merit is
shown by the fact the Phillips speak
ers hold their own against the best
speakers from all parts OF the United
States. In 1924 and 1925 that school
won the Southern championship and
In 1925 the national championship.
Andrews is a handsome. athletic
