FIRST NATIONAL is
SURE THE OUTLOOK
GENERALLY BRIGHT

Speaking for the First National
bank of Douglas, we see only promise
of continued. prosperity and growth in
vice president of the First National
bank. "We view with pleasure the
cattle outlook, confident that this Sec
ton of Arizona has arrived at a time
when it's ranchers are going to reap
"a fair share of return for their efforts.
The range is in excellent condition.
The herds are, we think, the best that
have ever grazed the plains hereabouts.
The Stockmen have gotten their loads
behind them and they should, from
now on, make splendid progress to-
ward complete independence
Mr. Graves said that the metal mar
ket conditions also argued for good
conditions because of the steady en-
ployment it will guarantee to the wage
Garner and also because of the devel-
opment of property that it will, IN
due course, stimulate. He said that
as Arizona is one. of the richest mining
areas in the union, anything that
means better conditions in the metal
market must, of necessity, mean the
promotion of Arizona's interests.
.Our bank ended good year i'll
December and encouraged by the larg-
est circle of patrons that we have ever
enjoyed, we start the new year CON
scious of our responsibilities to our
customers, desirous of meeting our
fullest obligation of service to the
community in which we work and live
and confident that the year now open
ing will leave us on new high ground
when it comes to a close,'n} said Mr..
Graves. "It is a satisfaction to know
that as part of our last years effort
we were able to help out, customers in
the savings department by the distribu-
tion of $21 249 as their interest, earned.
We know that it will bring to them a
confidence in their own efforts and
that they will face the new year with
its problems more firmly than had they
not made that effort. We believe. that
they and we will both be more coura-
geous in our efforts because of that

good things they have said and we
hope that we have done So
Mr.. White pointed out that his ass
sociates holding extensive interests in
the state and other southwestern points
have the fullest faith in Douglas as a
city and Arizona as a state, and that
their actions back up that faith and
the belief in a future growth here.
The president of the Arizona South
west bank is j. F. Brown while Chas.
F. Solomon is the vice president and
the executive officer of the board.

other lines of business. But there is
one thing about the banks and taxes.
The county treasurer knows that when
the time limit on paying taxes has been
reached he will have gathered all the
taxes he has assessed against the banks.
That must be so because the fact of
bank going delinquent in it's annual
tax bill would be a wild call for a run
on the bank issued by its own organi-
zation. Banks pay their taxes regu-
larly.
Savings Average Per Capita
If the savings accounts in the Doug
las banks be apportioned against the
working population of the city, the re-
suits are very high tribute to the
.laboring people of Douglas. There are
employed at the local smelters some
thing less than 1000 persons. Add to
that all the others employed in gainful
occupations and call the total $500.
Then it will be seen that the average
amount of cash in savings in the banks
to the wage working population stands
at 1862. And when it is averaged
among the 3460 people who actually
carry savings accounts, it will be found
that the average size of the savings
accounts in Douglas is $605.30.
Now the effect of having savings
account is we'll known to the working
people of Douglas and they have been
getting better and better educated in
that fact from year to year. The in
terest distribution made to savings de-
positors the first of this month-the
checks were really sent out before the
end of the year-totalled a little less
than $80,O00 That was just so much
cash found because on averages, it
would have not been possible for the
same return to have been brought to

hobos pass through Douglas every "a
hours. Some of these have few cents
Eand procure lodgings and cheap hotels
Some apply to the police for a place
to sleep The police permit the few
old or sick ones to sleep at the city
hall, but break a rule in doing so.
Many sleep at the sand house in the
railroad yards from which they are
reused out by the railroad detectives
and the police from time to time when
crimes are committed.
Nearly all of these men are young,
healthy and able bodied Now and
then an old man appears but usually
even he is strong and healthy Sleep
ing in the open makes them healthy.
Some of them complain of a shortness
Of rations, but physicians prescribe
dieting for many ailments. All of them
are well clothed and unless one has
the trained eye of the officer the hobo
of today goes unnoticed on the streets.
They come from California headed
for Texas or other more eaSternly
points and they come from Texas and
the east headed for California. Wher-
ever they come from they bring tales
of lack of work and woe in every imag-
Unable form and all of them, or most
of them, profess to be looking for work
but never seem to find job that fits
their peculiar tastes. The conclusion
one draws is that they like their roam
ing life even when the winds are cold
and the nights freezing over most of
the country and even when their stom-
achs are empty for they go on and on
forever and some come this year who
tell that they passed this way before
and some have been heard to say they
will come this way again.
