plant.
Since voting the bonds the people
have also had to turn down at the
polls proposition to sell the plant
to an outside concern. Speaking Of
that, one of the daily papers said the
other night, "In order to gain ver-
dict on the sale of the plant, the pre-
ceding council voted in favor of the
sale of the electric light system to
the Union Gas and Electric Co." It
is to laugh! That old gang didn't

OVERLOOK MAIN FACTS

It is easy to find fault with trade
unions. Occasionally they do some
thing silly which lends an opportunity
to those who are looking for a chance
to criticize
But the critics of unionism have a
free and easy way of passing over the
regular and ordinary fact that union
ism makes better citizens and i'm
proves the race.
BY increasing wages and shortening
the hours Of labor, unionism has rails
ed the standard of living. This means
that the men and women of labor have
better opportunity to become intelli-
gent members of the community. 1t
means that the children have better
health, better education, and far ber-
ter chances in life. These fine results
affect millions of men, women and
|
children-even though it is true that
they do not affect as many as they
ought.
A good illustration-one of the
many that could be given-to show
the benefits of unionism, is to COM
pare the condition of women in two
related industries-the manufacture
of cloth and the manufacture OF
clothing.
The former--the textile industry
is chiefly unorganized. The women
work on an average about ten hours
per day, and they get small wages.
The employers cut the wages when
ever they feel like doing so, and the
workers, not being organized, can not
help themselves.
In the clothing industry, on the
other hand, the average hours worked
are little over eight per day, and
the wages are far higher-but the

WORSE THAN THAT


Longfellow could take worthless
piece of paper, write poem on it and
make it worth $65,O00.
THAT'S GENIUS.
There are some men who can write
few words on piece of paper and
make it worth a million dollars.
THAT'S CAPITAL.
The United States can take an
ounce and a quarter of gold and make
it worthy twenty dollars.
THAT'S MONEY.
A mechanic can take material worth
$500 and make it into watch springs
worth one thousand dollars.
THAT'S SKILL.
There is a man in Paris who can
take a fifty cent piece of canvas,
paint picture on it and make ::

THAT'S ART.
A man can take an article costing
seventy-five cents and sell it for one
dollar.
THAT'S BUSINESS.
The author of this could write a
check for $4,000, but it wouldn't be
worth a cent.
THAT'S TOUGH.

CONSISTENCY
Congressman Davey, of Ohio,
achieved a COB of publicity by de-
nouncing government clerks as loaf
ers," says Fred S. Walker, writer OF
Capital Comment, "and he said about
100000 of them ought to be dis
charged. Somebody looked up the rec
ord of this congressman and found
that during 1896 roll calls in the
house he had been absent 527. In the
face of that he brands government,
clerks as loafers!"

can be put to good use and just so
much more can be done toward devel-
oping the park.
The present plans for the park call
for two tennis courts, an 18-hole golf
course, wading pool for the kiddies,
Fairgrounds for all ages, picnic
grounds, water, light, tables and
benches, and other things to be found
in an up-to-date park. It is hoped
later on to put in an immense swim
ming pool, such as is now in East
View park, and which proved SO popu-
uar with thousands of bathers last
summer.
Potter's Public Park, when equipped
and completed, is going to give oppor-
tunity to the working people to enjoy
the game from which they aye now
barred because of the attending ex-
pense. That is golf. The only
chance for playing that game now is
to be member of club whose mem
bership fee makes it prohibitive to the
workingman to belong. When
the golf links are laid out in
Potter's Park the whole community
will have access to them. That was
the one provision of Mr.. Potter when
he presented the land to the city for
park purposes-that there must bt
two golf links of nine holes each laio
out in the park, for all people.
There is no question about it, it is

WHY men FAIL

There is cause for everything!
Nothing ever "just happens" If a
man is promoted to better job, there
is a cause. If man loses his job
there is also cause.
There are many causes that lead to
failure. Here is list of the most
common causes:
Finding fault with the other fell
low, but never seeing your own.
Doing as little as possible and try
ing to get as much as possible for it.
Spending too much time showing
up the other fellows weak points and
too little time correcting your own.

HOW OLD ARE YOU?

Ask the average man to tell you
what the prime of life is and he
probably will say, middle age"
But middle age is term of indefi-
mite meaning. Many man of 10 is
middle aged in the sense that his
judgment is clear, his brain active,
and his body in good condition.
1t cannot be said that at par
sticular age all men are at the prime
of life, though London professor re-
Gently tried it, setting it at age 27.
At different ages men are better at
different tasks, and some wear out
more rapidly than others. Any guess
between 80 and 60 would be as sound
as the professors. A remarkable
young man of 27 is likely to be still
more remarkable at 81 or AZ or 81.
A few years ago 'Too old at forty
was popular theory with the younger
generation. A doctor of international
note even allowed himself to be quoted
as saying that men ought to be
chloroformed at So Then it was dis
covered that most of the important
work of the world was done by men
over 40.
Up to our 10th year, it has been
observed, we may be compared in re-
spect of the way we use our vital
energy, to people who live on the in
terest of their money; what we spend
today we have again tomorrow.
But from the age of 40 onward,
our position is like that of the in
vestor who begins to retrench upon
his capital.

Colorful Days Of '49
viii Be Recalled
at Flagstaff Fete

FLAGSTAFF - Preparations for
the second annual days of 49,"
celebration to be staged here under
the auspices of Flagstaff Lodge of
Elks and citizens July 2, 8, 4 and
5, are well under way. The cele-
bration is expected to surpass any,
thing of it's kind ever produced be-
fore in excellence and variety of
it's many numbers. Clyde Zerby,
director general, is pushing the
event to the limit, and nothing is
being spared in the way of expense
and energy to insure success.
Every incident in the life of the
real western pioneers, the men and
women who blazed the dim trails
of Is years ago, will be recalled
and faithfully depicted in four days
and nights of the celebration.
The entire community has joined
hands to make the show an out
standing success and the spirit Of
the cooperation displayed has
brought Flagstaff. into unity of
purpose seldom attained anywhere.
"The Days of 49," tabled in song
and story for nearly three genera
tions will be reproduced during the
festival. Among the many features
of the celebration will be an old
time fiddlers contest, stage-coach
holdup, pony express, Indians in
war paint, prospectOrs, miners, des-
ert rats, oxen teams, Indian dances
old time breakdowns, reproductions
of gambling dens, halls and dives
including girls, shows, and in fact
everything that went into the max
ing of the West in the days of 40
In anticipation of the celebration
every member of the Flagstaff Elks
| lodge and many other citizens are
growing boards. Boards of all siZ-
es, shapes and colors, great anC
small, and all forms of facial ap.
pendages are being cultivated.
One of the many special features
will be an o1d-time miners exposi
ton, where the old hectic days o.

copper companies in the Verde dis
| trict with the cooperation of the

Auto Club Routing
Many Southern Ariz.
People to This Part

The summer weather now pre-
valent in southern Arizona is caus-
ing many residents of that section
of the state to think of the cooler
higher attitudes of the north.
Every day the Automobile Club
of Arizona furnishes routings, road
and hotel information to motorists
who intend visiting this part of the
state for recreation, camping, fish
ing and sightseeing. Owners of
resorts should supply the Automo-
bile Club with definite information
as to their accommodations, prices,
recreation opportunities location
of resort, if reached by good motor
road and other data that will en-
able the prospective visitor to Sc
1ect a desirable place to spend his
vacation period.
The Automobile Club can route
the intending motor visitor to any
point in Arizona, but is dependent
on the resort owners for the inti-
mate knowledge desired by the mo-
tor vacationists.
The Automobile Club of Arizona
has done much to popularize north
ern Arizona as a desirable region
and would like to be able to tell the
party with a short purse what to
expect, or to direct the motorist
with a fat bank account to place
where the accommodations would
be to his liking.
