Mr.. Craig Pottinger,
Nogales, Arizona.
Dear Mr.. Pottinger:
After reading your article
County Business During 1925
Conducted at Cost of $120, ,265."
fear the public will misunder-
stand the figures as presented by
our clerk in his Annual report.
For instance the amount OF
warrants paid during the year
does not necessarily represent the
actual cost of conducting County
business for that year, as a part
of those warrants were held over
from the preceding year, because
Of delinquent taxes.
The actual cost Of conducting
the Santa Cruz County business
for the past three fiscal years is
as follows:
July 1, 1922 to June 80, 1928
-.....---.--..--...- $124, OIL.
Which includes an emergency
expense of $21,557. incurred dur
ing the period of the Silvas and
Martinez murder trials and the
epidemic Of sickness handled by
the Health Department.
July /, 1923 to June 80, 1924
..-...--...--- -.----. $99,461
July /, 1924 to June 80, 1925
SoS.256
You will see by these figures
that instead of showing an in
crease each year, the cost Of con-
Quoting the County business has
decreased, and these figures also
include the $4,000. appropria-
ton to the State for the Pata-
gonia, Nogales road.

One of our letters OF late which
dealt with people in general who
pass Judgment on preachers when
making their first appearance, failed
to get in print. Probably the editor

Since our last news letter, we
have been in the hospital We have
always had mortal dread of these
but In this case we
thoroughly enjoyed IL. There was
no delivery by ambulance, no exam
ination, no anesthetic, and no oper-
ating-table experience, no drugs or
medicine given, and best of all moth
ing to pay We walked right In feel
ing fine and came out much better
1t was a gratifying experience. How
ever this hospital was different, it
was a violin hospital, as the man
calls it. To us it looked very much
like a fiddle factory. While taking
day off to visit the fair at McCon-
nelsyille, we called upon our old
friend Hiram McGrath who not
withstanding his advanced age, "a,
is still active and energetic and took
great delight in showing us the
neatest and completest little work
shop that we have ever seen, fully
equipped with lot of machines all
of which he constructed with his

A Little Preaching
In this small world, around
which the restless tourist may go In
twenty Eight days, about one billion,
six hundred million of the species
man must abide-at least for
while. We are wonderful mixture
OF kind, gentle, coarse and british,
educated, ignorant geniuses, av-
erage minds, clodhoppers and
idiots; Christian, atheist, agnostic,
heather; partisan, non-partisan;
workers, shirkers, irkers. Some are
filled with love, others with hatred,
and some with moonshine which is
all too gentle name. Part of the
strives to make the world fit to live
in. Some are thieves, robbers, hold
ups and murderers.
There is one influence. one power
or agency, now honorable with it's
old age and praiseworthy for it's
past achievements, that can bring
down the proud boaster, lift up the
discouraged, purge hatred from the
heart, compel respect for law and
love even for enemies. 1t can trans
form the meanest and vilest and
make them fit citizens for any gov
ernment; it can and does equalize
and harmonic all kinds, colors and
temperaments and makes life toll
erable. That something is the gos-
pei of Jesus Christ and the New
Testament explains it.

for Injuries. Waste accounts for
IA cents, investments for IL cents
and unelassified expenditures for
1871 cents. Crime costs 8h cents,

Of every dollar the former gets
just three-quarters Of a cent, the

twice as much as the government

luxuries demand almost as much

A Wonderful City
There is not more cosmopoli-
tan city on earth than New York. 1t
is the worlds largest Catholic city.
1t is the worlds largest Jewish
city. 1t is the worlds largest Irish
city. 1t is the worlds largest
negro city. Not only is it being over
run by southern Europeans, but it
has japanese, Chinese, ct cetera, un-
til the races of earth are exhaust
ed. Perhaps there is not a tongue
and not country that has not rep
resentatives here.-Sel. And it is
far better to Christianize them than
merely to Americanize them. Good
laws, well enforced, put fear into
the heart. The gospel of the Son of
God puts love of right doing there
and makes law enforcement easy.

Phones Show How Fast
Many Towns Growing

Atlanta, Ga.-Practically any town
of any size in the United States
periodically reads an item like this
about itself: Telephone company to
enlarge it's facilities here to care for
future growth of the community"
And when attention of Southern
Bell officials in Atlanta was called to
this there was a comment something
like this, which is heartening to some
folks:
No village is too small for the tele-
phone company to overlook. 1t is the
aim of the company to anticipate the
telephone needs of every community
and rural district.
1t is this desire to extend its SER
vice to the furtherest corners of the
nation and into the smallest homes
which has given the country tele-
phone service far beyond that enjoy
ed by any other nation. The tele-
phone in Georgia and. America is not
confined to government uses, to the
aristocracy or the official class.
No industry is more representative
of democracy than the telephone. No
other industry has a greater distri-
button of it's stocks and bonds among
it's employees and the people of the
nation. It serves all on the same
basis and with the same courtesy.

ITALY WINS GREAT
AVIATION HONORS

That Italy is in the forefront of
military aviation in Europe was clear
ly demonstrated at Newport News,
Va, recently, when Maj. Mario de
Bernardo established new world
record of 258.837 miles an hour driv-
ing Macchi-Fiat mono-seaplane.
Flying with the wind, he actually at
tanned the terrific speed of 272.13
miles an hour.
The Fiat engine which drove the
plane was equipped with Champion
spark plugs, showing that one Ameri-
can product is available to take ad.
vantage of latest aviation develop
ments.
Nearly two years ago, after ex-
haustive tests of all makes of spark
plugs, the Italian government chose
Champions for use in its military
planes. The Italian flyers success
was largely due to the support which
his government, particularly since the
ascendency of Mussolini, has given to
aviation development.
Major Bernardi's feat was a most
impressive illustration of the remark
able progress aviation has made in
Italy, particularly, and throughout
Europe in general.

still at home.
"And there is no word of a young
husband?" anxiously inquired the
Queen.

esty," the granny" replied, and
then, as an after-thought, she asked
"And, your majesty, is Their ony
word O. wife for the Prince of

Queens reply was negative shake
of her head and broad smile as
she walked away.
