HARDWARE SALES UP.
Reported Ahead of Last Year in
Some Centers.

Special Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK, January 27.-Hard-
ware Age says:
Judging from present indications,
hardware sales during 1925 will attain
excellent proportions, according to re-
ports from the various market centers.
Business so far has been excellent and
in some centers substantially greater
than for the same period last year.
Prices are generally firm, and. with no
possibility of declines in prospect, re-
tailers are not inclined to delay the
filling of their requirements. With in
ventories practically completed. retail
ers are now in d. position to turn their
attention to the stocking of empty
shelves. The sale of Spring merchan-
disc is at last beginning to assume
stable proportions, while the move
ment of staple lines continues good.

THE MCPHERSON CASE

The city of Douglas owes a vote OF thanks to the
abductols Of Aimee Semple Mcpherson, for Douglas
is on the map more than ever before as result OF
Aimee reappearng there last week after being among
the missing since her mysterious disappearance from
the beach at Ocean Park CAL, on May 18. a
IF Aimee was to reappear at an Arizona border
port, Nogales can never forgive those adductors,
'Tony', "Rose" etc. Nogales is border city just
one hundred and some miles west of Douglas. If
those abductors had made bid for the place where
Aimee was to reappear are sure that the Nogales
Chamber of Commerce would have outdistanced the
Dougastes along the bidding line. s.~ !.
An advertising plumb Of the real variety fell in
the lap of the city of Douglas when Mrs Mcpherson
crossed the line from Aqua Prieta Douglas immed-
ately recognized that the return Of the famous Los
Angeles evangelist was the biggest news story that
ever "broke" within it's city limits Douglas, at once
became known throughout the world. Telegraph and
telephone wires buzzed; airplanes and automobiles
raced to the Smelter City carrying ,newspapermen
and photographers anxious to get the news first.
Some things in the Mcpherson case may never
come to light, but there is one sure thing-Dougas
got publicity like the Smeter City never had before
and it will be long time before Nogales will have,
if ever, such opportunity for world wide publ.
city. Again say that if Aimee had to reappear at
an Arizona border port we are sorry that place was
not Nogaes

Good progress has been made in agricultural
lines. Cotton is coming along well; alfalfa has been
harvested in the north unusually early; wheat har-
vest is under way in the southern Valleys and rec
ord cantaloupe crop is in sight
Both ranges and stock have maintained excellent
condition, and entering the summer in the best
shape in some years. The fat cattle market showed a
slight decline during the month"; and feeder prices

returned TO northern ranges in fine condition.
