Mother Brown hurried over to

in the bottom Of the pail and blink

On the other hand, many a tube

the junk heap that still has lots of
life in it and in this way people are
losing money. CoWden's could fix
those tires and tubes Their repair
men report that many people are
getting nearly as good mileage out of
retreaded castings as they got out of
new ones and as the cost of retread-
ing is much less than the cost of a
new tire they are certainly making a
saving by having the retreading done.
It's great thing to buy new tire
from man who believes that the
tire he is offering the public is the
best on the market. The Mohawk
tires are undoubtedly a fine product,
and George Cowden can tell the
automobile owner just how good they
are and why they are so very good.
He likes to talk about them and tell
what mileage they are giving, what
is put into them when they are made
and what the car owner can expect

tires, and if those tires are no good
then the car is worthless while the

KIWANIS Club BOOSTS FOR A
BETTER CITY: HAS SPIRIT OF
HIGH HSPORTSMANSHIP FOR ALL

Identified with everything that is for
the building and betterment of Douglas
and the state of Arizona, the Douglas
KiWaniS club, numbering on its mem
bership lists the best boosters and
many of the most prominent busi-
ness and professional men of the city
has prospered and grown stronger
through the lean years and has been
great factor in bringing about those
things that are responsible at this time
for the prosperity that is sweeping over
the city.
This club is not just an association
of men who sneaS away from their
business worries once week for a
poor luncheon, some poorer speeches,
a cigar and some, stale songs badly
sung. They are an organization OF
boosters whose weekly luncheons are
pep rallies of the finer sort. To be
sure they make speeches, but they in
SiSt that they be short and to the point
and full of constructive criticism and
suggestion.
The luncheons are supplied with
real entertainment, music, dancing and
the best performers of different kinds
that can De secured. Speakers OF ma
tiOnal prominence come 10 Douglas and
it is a foregone conclusion that if
their message has anything worth
while in it, the KiWanians extend an
invitation to those speakers 70 attend
their luncheons and tell them what
they have on their minds.
The KiWaniS club has abolished a
large quantity of dignity since ii start
ed. 1t has injected new spirit of CO.
operation and service into l5s mem
berS. 1t is more than a luncheon club.
It is fraternity of the better spirits
of the community where creedS are
forgotten, e1lmitieS are buried and ev-
eryone works with everyone else to
put something over" for the good Of
their felloWmen.
This club sponsors the under priv
legged child and SWays a powerful in
fluence throughout the state in this
connection. In order to do more in
this work this club joins with the Bis
bee Kiwa1iS on state issues and the
two clubs join with Tucson in forming
a force that is well nigh irresistible.
BiSbee and Douglas KiWanianS meet
together several times each year They
hold banquetS. They boost things of
inter-city interest. At the present
time the two clubs are behind the
movement to electrify the Sulphur
Springs valley
In Douglas the tourist hotel has
been sponsored by the Kiwania1ls and
although it was started by the cham
ber of commerce, that body and the
KiwaniS club have worked side by side
for its building with a spirit that ac-

3 George S. CoWden, proprietor OF
the CoWden Rubber Works at 1929 G
avenue, shows the motorist how to
get double service out of a Cire. This
rubber works is equipped to retread
nearly every size Of tire on the mar
ket and plans are now going forward
for more equipment SO that any sort
of tire job can be done by Cowden.
The shop holds the agency for Mo
hawk tires which are recognized as a
very fine product with some excellent
guarantees behind their output. Tire
repairing is the chief business of the
company and they guarantee their
work on any sort of tire that is not
already rotten when it is brought to
the shop.
They have a record at CoWdens of
thousands of jobs without break in
their work or single job brought
back for failure to hold. The repair
men there will show you tires with
great holes completely through the
tread which they will guarantee to
repair so that the repaired place will
last as long as the rest of the tire.
Like any good business, this one is
built on the foundation of satisfac-
ton to the customer. The work done
here is good work and it is calculated
to be worth the money in every way
Both in repairing and selling of new
tires, CoWden holds to the one stand
ard-that of a good article. The re-
pair is done with the best materials
and machinery and is done to last,
and the new tire that he sells you is
guaranteedsto do what you expect it
to.
Punctured tubes. tubes that have
blown out and that have big holes in
them, castings that have worn down
evenly and castings that have holes in
one place and practically new tread
in other places are all given the same
care and attention here. This tire
man will tell you if your tire or tube
is worth repairing. He doesn't want
to sell you q new tube or a new tire
unless you need it, but if the tubes
you bring in for vulcanizing are SO
rotten that they are likely to tear out
in new place just after you have
spent a dollar more in having one

join none of them, for they were all
teaching wrong doctrines
After Joseph Smith had related the
vision which he had seen, he was
told by the preachers of the contend
ing sects that it was of the devil, and
that there we're no such things as
visions in these days; all such things
having ceased with the apostles of
old, and there never would be any
more.
September 81, 1928, in answer to
prayer, an angel appeared to him and
revealed the existence of an ancient
sacred record consisting Of number
of thin gold plates bound together
with gold rings. The plates we're in
scribed in reformed Egyptian char
acters. These plates were delivered
to Joseph Smith four years later by
the same angel. Joseph Smith trans
lated the records by the gift and
power of God and published the rec
ord as the Book OF Mormon in 1890
1t was because Of this book that the
Latter Day Saints came to be called
Mormons. The original plates we're
also shown to Oliver Cowdry, David
Whitn1ore and Martin Harris by the
same angel The testimony OF these
three men was supplemented by that
of eight other witnesses who saw the
records, handled and hefted them.
On May Is, 1929, Joseph Smith and
Oliver Cowdry went in the woods to
pray concerning the doctrine of bap-

on the plates. While they were call
ing on the Lord, a messenger from
heaven descended in cloud OF light,
laid his hands upon them and Or
dained them, saying: upon you, my
fellow servants, in the name of the
Messiah, I confer the priesthood of
Aaron, which holds the keys Of the
ministering of angels, and of the
gospel of repentance, and of baptism
by immersion for the remission OF
sins" The messenger was John,
known as John the Baptist in the
Bible. He acted under the direction
of the apostles Peter, James and
John. These three latter appeared
to Joseph and Oliver Cowdry and
conferred upon them the keys of the
apostleship and, the power to lay
on hands for the reception of the
Holy Ghost.
Many converts were made and the
church grew rapidly. Serious oppo-
sition to the doctrine developed,
however, and the Mormons were
driven from place to place by perse-
cution After having been driven
from Kirkland, Ohio, and Jackson
Missouri, they found a tenn
porary welcome in Illinois, where they
purchased lands in Hancock county
and built the city of Nauvon, which

When about ten years old he removed
with his father and the family tt
Palmira, Ontario (since Wayne)
county, New York About four years
afterwards the family moved to Man
chester, in the same county.
In the second year after the re-
noval to Manchester, an unusual eX-
citemept prevailed there, conmcnc-
ing with the Methodists. The interest
became general and the excitement
great, the various religious parties
differing much with each other in
their preaching and teaching. Joseph
Smith, then in his 18th year, reflected
deeply and seriously upon religious
subjects, but the confusion and strife
among the different denominations
were so great that he was at loss to
know which was right and what he
ought to do.
Thus exercised and anxious, while
reading the Bible, one day he was
forcibly impressed with the fifth verse
OF the first chapter of the Epistle
of James: eff any of you lack wis
dom, let him ask God, that giveth to
ali men literally and upbraideth not,
and it shall be given him."
This passage went with such un-
usual force to his mind that he re-
solved to act upon the advice therein
given. Consequently, one morning
early in the spring of 1920, he retired
to the woods to ask for knowledge
and wisdom from God. He knelt
down and began to offer up the de-
sires Of his heart in prayer and sup
plication. He had scarcely done so
power that prevented him from
speaking. However, exerting all his
powers to call upon God to deliver
him out of the power of the enemy,
he saw over his head a pillar OF
light, brighter than the sun, which
descended gradually until it fell upon
him, and he found himself delivered
from the power of the enemy.
When the light rested upon him he
saw two personages- OF indescribable
brightness and glory standing above
him in the air. One of them spoke
to him, calling him by name, and
said, pointing to the other: "This is

CARRIES WORK
OF THE MASTER
By REV. ToLBERT WEAVER

by NEV. IOLBEST WEAVER
The First Christian Church of
Douglas was organized in 1903 by
Evangelist jackson, with II members
present besides the evangelist, who
became its pastor The present site
was secured and the present modern
building was erected in 1919, when
Rev. r. E. Dunlap was pastor. The
building is well equipped for both
worship and religious. educational
work and was dedicated to the wor-
ship of God and service to humanity
regardless of creed or nationality
The property is valued at $4,000 and
the building is always open to the
public when needed to promote the
general or moral welfare of the COM
munity
The church has a membership of
245 and a Bible school, enrolment of
165. In spite of the many members
lost by removal, the membership of
the congregation has increased 40
per cent in the last two years and a
half. The church reaches through

fluenced by it's regular and special
service, its ministry of mercy to the
sick and sorrowing, and it's moral in
fluence in the building of better
and bigger city.
Under the conditions, probably no
church has made more rapid progress
in the last two years During the
last year the indebtedness on the
building was reduced $4,000 in addi-
ton to its growth in membership and
in the development of leaders and
workers. The Bible school is carried
on by a strong faculty of consecrated
teachers and officers capable of ex-
cellent work in the field of religious
education. The Christian Endeavor
societies for all ages constitute one of
the outstanding features of service in
the field of training young people
