ARIZONA'S INDUSTRIAL
CONGRESS HOLDING MUCH
BUSINESS WITHIN STATE

Still further increases in the
amount of business they are able to
divert to state channels are shown in
reports of their Arizona purchases
so far this year, received from min
ing companies of the state by the
Arizona Industrial congress, chief
sponsor of the TRADE at Home-Use
Arizona Products" movement.
The report of the Inspiration Con-
solidated Copper company at 1nspira-
ton, for exabple, shows that its Ari-
zona purchases have increased rs per
cent during the second quarter of

produced throughout the state for the
three months just passed, reached
S144, 900, $116,500 representing COM
modities used in mine and srnelter,

castings, etc., and $27,492 for farm

DAME GOSSIP

A long way back in the days of old
When God and the devil disagreed,
The devil ducked, his tail and went to
hell
And was cursed by the rest of his
breed
Till 1t hurt his heart and made it
bleed.
To take tie lead among the sinners,
The devil was pushed a deed to do,
That would give mortals a bit Of hell
So he searched the torture pits all
through
But found nothing there that would
quite do.
In despair the devil roundly swore,
And said some sinner must take his
place.
Then in punishment for his crime
The sinners gave him a woman's face,
And pushed him out into earthly
space.
So the devil changed his name to
Gossip
And launched himself on a bold ca
reer.
He's changed happiness to sorrow,
A smile into hate burning tear,
While joy hides in a shroud of fear.
old Dame Gossip is happy;
Her wrinkled face is creased by a
smile,
And nevermore does she dream of
hell
Because really its hardly worth while
When earth is so much more to her
style.
You and l, why should we pay the
Because the devil slipped so long ago?
Yet, we are paying most every day.
Let's pay extra thoughts or tears or
= so,
To send DEAR Dame Gossip back

OUR OWN LAND

"It's the grandest thing / have
ever seen," said the crown prince of
Sweden as he stood on the north
rim of the Grand Canyon. Wherein
his royal highness said nothing but
what has been said by hundreds of
thousands of the plain citizens Of this
and other countries who have view
ed what is probably the worlds
greatest natural wonder.
1t is a rather curious thing that
Arizona is better known to "outsid-
ers" than it is to the people who
live in the state and who should be
intimately acquainted with its re-
sources and its attractions, especial
ly in these days when everyone owns
an automobile. From our own Verde
district as q center, scores of wond
erful trips that can be accomplished
over week-end-bu very few of US
seem to know it, at least few Of US
make them.
Montezuma Well, Montezuma Cas-
tie, the prehistoric ruins at Camp
Verde, Boynton Canyon, Dry Creek
and all over the Red Rocks country
are within the compass of an easy
days drive. The sulphate deposits
at Camp Verde and the wonderful
scenery down the river to the box
canyon can easily be visited in a
day. The Grand Canyon of the Colo
RADIO can be "done" comfortably in
two days and if one hurries at the
canyon, he can make the return trip
by way Of Cameron and the canyon
of the Little Colorado in two days.
The ruins at Walnut canyon, near
Flagstaff can be done in day If
necessary. The Indian country as
far as Tuba City can be covered in
two days, and in three one can go
to Hopi villages and back.
There are good roads everywhere
and it is not to our credit that SO

BOY SCOUT SAVES
FATHER FROM DEATH

When Edward Norman, of Paradise,
Utah, injured by hay fork, lay
bleeding to death in a field, neigh
bors who gathered were unable to
staunch the bleeding.
At this critical time, the wounded
mans scout son, Myron Norman, ap-
peared on the scene. Begging to be
allowed to bind the wound, the boy
made his way through the terrified
little group. An artery had been
severed by the heavy prongs of the
fork. Young Norman quickly fash
ioned tourniquet. This he applied,
and stopped the flow of blood.
The physician who later arrived,
stated that the father could not have
lived but for the boys first aid treat
