LOWEST PRICES
IN TIRES EVER
MADE, HE AYERS


A new low price schedule on West
ern Giant and Wear-well tires is now
in effect at all Western Auto Supply
company stores, according to t. NJ.
Massey, local manager OF the com
pany.
In making this announcement, MI
Massey stated that the present prices
are the lowest in the history of the
company and offer the greatest value,
dollar for dollar, OF any tire ever
sold by the Western Auto stores.
During 1927 more than $6,OOO000
worth of Western Giant and Wear
well tires were sold, by the Western
Auto Supply company stores" says
Massey. "These same popular names
of tires are now offered at the
lowest prices in Western Auto history.
'These low prices can be made
still lower by using old, worn tires
as part payment on new, fully guar
anteed Western Giant or Wear-weh
tires. Even If the tires do seem
good for few more miles, the car
owner will be more than repaid for
turning them in at this time, not
only from the saving in money alone,
but from the satisfaction he receives
in knoWing& that the tire equipment
on his car will save him worry and
freedom from trouble concluded
Massey.

POLICE PUZZLE
AT DECREASE IN
HOBO MIGRATION

Police reports yesterday and last
evening indicated that there is a
shortage of hobos in the city. No
reason for this has been assigned
unless the publicity given to the
determination OF the police to put
q stop to begging at back doors
may have had an influence en- the
floating population.
More than 100 hobos have been
passing through Douglas daily. for
the past few months and yesterday
the number appeared to have fallen
Off to almost nothing. A visit to
the sand houses in the railroad yards
where the railroad company heats
sand for their engines and where
some 40 or SO buns usually bed down
for the night showed but very
few Weary Willies encamped On the
sand.
Each evening the night lieutenant
of police directs from 20 to so tramps
to places to sleep or tells them that
he cannot give them a place to sleep
and last evening only very few
reported at the station and asked
for housing. Officers hold out no
hope that all the hobos have sud-
denly gone to work or started travel
ing over the, snow covered northern
routes. While they cannot explain
the lull in travel through here there
has been no action taken to offer
for its re-establishment.

new RESIDENCE
SITES SECURED
ON 18th STREET

That there will be some new and
modern residences constructed at a
reasonably early date appears to be
certain as the result of real estate
deals concluded within the last week
for building sites in the 1900 block
on 18th street. The sites cover what
is now the ninth hole OF the golf
course OF the Douglas Country club
but the course is being changed to
leave the land involved out OF the
course.
The land was owned by. Rice and
company and the buyers announced
are D. c. O'Neil, R. l.. Hoyal and
the Paul interests. Hoyal and O'Neil
both have announced their purpose
to make their property sites for new
and modern homes, although they
say that their plans still are in. the
formative state and lat they have
not determined either the plans tor
when they will start construction.

VISIT IN SNOW
MADE BEUMLER
PROUD OF HOME

After rambling around in snow
from a few inches to a foot deep,
H. G. Buemler and A. r.. Bcardman
have returned to Douglas from 2
trip that took them to Pennington,
N. M, and they both declare they
are happy to be back. by COM
parison, Douglas weather makes one
feel like he is in paradise" asserted
Buemler yesterday, telling about his
trip and experiences. They visited
a number of points in Kew Mexico
and among other things they saw
a new oil well that had recently
been brought in at depth OF 1909
feet and which was producing 35
to 40 barrels Of nigh quality oil a
day, it being a flowing well.
Conditions generally in that sec
ton are good,' said Buemler. "T
understood from talks with people
whom 1 met that the sheep industry
which is the major industry in that
section, is prosperous. The oil de-
velopment is bringing some increased
activity because OF the wages it
distributes to labor, SO that all in
all, I would say that the conditions
there are reasonably good
"But the thing that Impresses me,
as result of the trip, is the re-.
markably fine weather that we have
here in Douglas. 1t certainly was
a pleasure to get home again
'"The oil development at Farming
ton, from what I could learn, seems
to have a promising future. The
well that is now producing is a
high quality Oil and saw ther1
using it in the lamps for lighting
Just as kerosene is used. They have
another hole down about 4,CO0 feet
which is soon to be shot ana when
that is done it is expected it also
will be an Oil producer There is
a heavy gas pressure which at tirpes
has been sufficient TO blow the tools
from the hole, so it will be seen
that there is a. real gas flow already
It is stated that if they develop
an oil well, as they hope and expect
to do, that it probably will be a
much larger one than the one now
producing"

MEXICO RATES
FOR FREIGHT
ARE LOWERED

Literature calling attention TO the
new and reduced railroad rates into
Mexico has been received at the
Mexican consulate, Juan Marshall,
consul. The new rates became Ell
fective on December Is, but it is
the belief of Consul Marshall that
many shippers have not yet fully
realized the effect OF the new order,
which is made jointly by the National
Railways of Mexico and the Southern
Pacific railway on the north side
of the international border.
There are more than 200 reductions
in commodity rates from central and
northern Mexican points and nuner-
Gus reductions also to the south
Mexican points, an area which also
enjoyed favorable classification
under the old tariffs.
Another important step toward
facilitating all rail traffic to Mexico
is the establishment OF through
straight and order bills OF lading
from practically every important
point in the United States to all
points on the National railways in
Mexico. This arrangement permits
the billing of freight charges from
point Of origin to destination fully
Cor partly) prepaid or collect. Also
the establishment of official customs
agencies at El Paso Eagle Pass,
Laredo and Brownsville, fully equip
ped to take charge OF the preparation
of export papers as well as all other
details connected herewith Tor the
clearing or handling OF shipments
consigned in their care through the
Mexican customs house.
The fixed charge for this service
(according to the nature OF the ship
ment) is nominal based on regular
tariff rates published by these rail-
ways, their sole purpose being to
furnish the public this added facility,
with no regard to profit.
Chief among the many advantages
the custom service will afford, is the
fact that all customs duties and in
cidental expenses to any shipment,
will be advanced by these railways
and billed along with the trans
portation charges for collection upon
delivery OF the goods at destination.
Shipments under through bills OF
lading are moved with utmost ex-
pendiency; movement to final des-
tination is resumed without delay,
once shipments are cleared through
customs house. Special attention is
given to the handling OF all import
freight, fast freight trains being used
to insure prompt delivery. The time
between Ell Paso and, Mexico City
has been reduced to LOT hours, which
insures an improved and satisfactory
service on all through shipments
between California and Mexican
points. s 41.a

film MEN FIND
LOCATIONS FOR
THEIR PICTURE

That they found plenty of desir-
able territory for their use as location
sites for their new picture, was the
declaration yesterday of r. Lee Hougll
and Lee O'Fearing, directors for the
William Fox Picture corporation. fol-
lowing their return from trip to
Rhyolite park and various other
places, Furthermore, Hough, who is
to be in charge OF the picture for
which they were searching for a
location, said that he expected to be
back in Douglas within three or four
weeks with the company which will
be used in making the picture.
"We found wonderful areas for our
use," said Hough, land it is my
view that we found areas that will
be used not alone for this picture
but for subsequent productions by
the William Fox studios. The trip
took us through some OF the finest
scenery it has ever been my good
fortune to visit, and have seen
some rather interesting country, at
that.
"It is not possible to name a
definite date when we will arrive
here but it is a certainty that we
will come"
The tour of the country looking
for the location was made by .Hough
and O'Fearing with Secretary George
B. Doubleday of the Chamber OF
Commerce, Mr.. Doubleday being ac-
companied also by his wife. Tney
drove to Faraway ranch, where they
passed one night, and then on the
way back they travelled through
Wilcox and several other points be-.
fore getting into Douglas.
Hough and .O'Fearing left yesterday
afternoon for Hollywood over the
Southern Pacific railway.

YOUR STORY Is
AN INTER ESTINC
one TO OTHERS

There probably is not family in
Douglas that does not possess some
interesting fact about which their
friends would like to read if it was
reduced to- story form and printed
in the Dispatch. Every family has
something that is different from any
other family just as no two individ-
llals look exactly alike. 1t is that
difference that makes the interest.
There are the anniversaries, heir
looms, relics and dozen and one
other things from which to draw
the material for readable stories. 1t
is that sort OF material that makes
a family paper interesting; that keeps
it full OF clean, wholesome stories
and crowds out the sensational. 1t
is that kind that makes proper read
ing for the young people as well
as the adults.
Those and the social events in
the way of parties and the like that
make the history Of the community
life. Now all those things are always
acceptable to paper if they reach
it through the proper channels. II
one will get them to the news de-
partment during its working hours, il
is reasonably certain that they will
get careful consideration and ii there
is news value or reading value
to them, they will be given fair treat
ment. The way to get that con-
sideration is to write out the inn
portant facts concerning the thing
in mind and bring it to the city
editor. The best time to make certain
of that contact is sin the evening.
If the facts brought are lacking in
some detail, it then can be supplied.
If the matter is merely reported by
telephone it will be investigated and
some one assigned who will make it
worth while story.
Men and women who nave been
in Arizona for 25 or more years
often have interesting personal remi-
niscences of the pioneer days and it
they have birthday anniversary, it
offers an exceptionally good chance
to tell their story in an interview
Veterans of the Civil or OF Indian
wars both can furnish interviews full
of interest to their friends.
Then there are the parties for the
children on their birthdays. Mothers
are always trying to make the little
people happy and if they will just
get the news of the party 20 the
newspaper that will furnish proper
closing chapter for the child's party
These requests are based on the
ground that good, community news
paper is one that carries all the
community news and that can only
happen when the readers help to
see that facts are brought to the
attention of the paper which is all
the time trying to cover the field
as comprehensively as it can be done
So change that tag-line OF the
marines and hold it in mind, "Tell
