BETRAYED CONFIDENCE
a. miami Silver Belt)

The operator Of a service sta
ton at Apache Junction lost a
valuable pet monkey as a result
of a. tourist feeding the simian
chewing gum. The owner stated
that the monkey would refuse to
cat chewing gum which it found
lying within the length Of it's chain
bit that when the morseI was hand
ed it by a man, the animal readily
accepted and swallowed the gum.
Death foilowed,% as the internal
digestive apparatus Of monkeys
does not seem to be capable Of
disposing OF chewing gum.
Thus was the monkeys conf
dence betrayed by man. The ami
NAL thought that the chewing gum
which it would ordinarily reject,
was all right for it when present
ed at the hands Of the superior
animal man.
Always man has caused the
downfall of the lower animals by
first gaining their confidence, and
then betraying it.

to insure that all sections of the
state will receive their share of it
and that the advertising will be
of kind that will meet the de-
velopments needed in each sec
ton.
There is only one way to secure
the passage of such an appropria-
ton and that is for every county
in the state to get their legislators
to pledge themselves to support
such a measure NOW. Send
them to the capitol next month
with instructions that one of the
biggest things they can do at this
time, to add the tax rolls of the
state and the general prosperity
is to provide for the advertising
Of Arizona. The surest way to
reduce the tax rate in Arizona is
to increase the tax roll. The
surest way to increase the tax roll
is to colonize our lands, develop
our resources. The fastest and
surest way to do that is through
the medium of national advertising
campaigns.

WHEN ADVERTISING COUNTS
(ArizOna Gazettel

Advertising the Pacific coast
is doing, far overshadows Ari-
IONA with her more desirable eli
mate and incompatible scenery in
the minds of eastern people when
they are seeking a place to escape
the rigors of winter.
The railroads that reach them,
| it is true, give Arizona much pub
Ilicity in their guides. That helps,
but the average person coming west
for the first time depends mostly
upon the advertising that has at
tracted their attention or the re-
ports that are given them by
friends who have been west.
Ninety-nine and one half per
cent Of the tourists and winter
visitors who have come west here
tofore have gone to the Pacific
coast. All they know of Arizona
| is what they have seen of our des-
erts as they have been whirled
through the state. That does not
give Arizona much Of a reference.
Today thousands of the winter
tourists come through the west in
their cars. They pick out a des-
tination point as do those who trav-
el by train. The big majority of
these auto tourists pay little at
tention to the country they traver-
Sc, if they have been sold on a
promise land before they start.
There is only one way for Arizo-
ne to divert a large part Of the
westward travel That way is to
advertise in the travellers home
communities, reaching them before
| they plan their destination. The
only way that Arizona can pos
sibly carry on a consistent ad-
vertising campaign of this kind
that will be effective. is for the
state to do it as a whole. An
advertising fund should be appro-
priated in the coming legislature
for the coming two years that will
be big enough to effectively ad-
yertise the climate, the scenery,
the agricultural and industrial ad-
vantage that are ours.
This advertising campaign should
be directed by the chambers of
commerce of the IA counties so as

A BILLION CHRISTMAS CARDS

Somebody has estimated that something like billion
greeting cards changed hands during the past two weeks
Every kind of card went through the MAIL from the smp
lest little printed affair two three cents to handpaned
individually designed cards and echngs and copies of
famous paintings, selling high as $50
Once in while someone is moved to ask what it's all
about Certainly helps to make the postmans life harder
one month every year It is also unpleasant but nescap
able fact that good many recipients of these cards glance
names Of the senders feel pleased moment and then
throw the cards into the nearest Waste-baskt.
Hoewver the greeting card industry has become big
and the popular demand for it's product shows weak
enng If it really adds Christmas JOY and goodwill
then it is probably worth the $16000000 at which it
estimated.

GRAIN MARKET
(By D1spatch A. P. Wirel


CHICAGO, Jan. 2S.-Sub-zero wealth
er threatening damage to United
States winter wheat did good deal
to hoist wheat values today and so
likewise did trade estimates pointing
to unusual exhaustion of stocks of
wheat in all countries before the be-
ginning of the new crop year. Clos
ing quotations on wheat were firm,
May (new) 1.75B to 1.76 and July
1.521A to 1.525s, with corn cents to
5s cents up, oats showing ss cents
advance and provisions varying from
unchanged figures to a rise of 12
cents.
Highest prices of the day in the
wheat market came in the last hour
whereas the lowest prices showed
themselves at the start. The early
downturn reflected declines at Liver
pool and Buenos Aires, but aggres-
sive buying here on the part of
houses with eastern connections led
quickly to a decided upward trend
The new buying movement was more
or less associated with current pre-
dictions of a possible deficit of 53,
100000 bushels in world supplies of
wheat at the end of this crop year
as compared with present estimated
requirements. Besides, Greece was
reported to have purchased 100000
bushels of Canadian wheat and it
was said Portugal was also trying
to buy. Severe cold weather as d
menace to the domestic winter wheat
crop received increasing attention as
the day wore on, and with offerings
becoming scarce, the market contin-
ued to ascend except as profit taking
occasioned 81 transient halt Reports
from the west and southwest sug
gestetd to many traders that much Of
the winter wheat area had been
caught minus sufficient blanket of
snow. Accordingly the price of July
delivery representing wheat still in
the ground, was relatively stronger
than May.
Corn and oats were influenced
chiefly by the actions of wheat and
by assertions that the cold wave was
likely to bring about diminished ar
rivals of corn.
In provisions, the advance of grain
proved i'm the end to be more than a
counter balance for some wavering
of hog values.

ported earnings of $1O,543,136 in the
final quarter of 1925, bringing the

lier high of 134A, and Bethlehem
closed 3s lower at 46%. Sugars were
again under accumulation in reflec-
ton of stiffening commodity prices.
Oils showed little change despite pre-
dictions of an early increase in mid
continent crude prices. Farm imple-
ment shares showed impressive
strength, International Harvester
showing an extreme gain of Az at
131M and then sagging a point.
Substantial gains also were record
ed by a number of specialties. Cerro
de Pasco advanced nearly 3 points to
sc, the highest price in seven years,
on the reported discovery of a rich
ore body.
other outstanding industrial strong
spots were Foundation company, Cal
ifornia Packing, The Commercial Sol
vents issues, Columbia Carbon and
others, net gains in which ran from
to points.

ton of additional favorable earnings

the Southern Railways showing over
SIG a share earned on the common
stock last year, while Baltimore and
Ohio earned over $12 share. A gain
of over points in Delaware and
Hudson was one of the few features
in the rail group.
Call money ruled unchanged at
four per cent for the seventh con-
secutive day. Time money was quot
ed at 41S to 4Hs instead of AS to Az,
but prime commercial PAPER held
steady at Az to Az
Foreign exchange rates moved
within narrow and irregular limits.
Demand sterling held steady around

8 points higher around S.75 cents.
Japanese yen reacted slightly on pro-
fit taking and Polish zloty broke 25
points to 400 cents.
