Here's a Weather
Story and No Hot
Air at All ii Il

That the visitors to this section
of Arizona brought here by their
interest in the climate the state
enjoys brings new money to the
tradesmen was well demonstrated a
few days ago 5y j. L. Hoods ex-
perience. Mr.. Hood is douglas dealer
for the Chrysler automobile and he
received a letter from David Levinson,
one OF the leading attorneys of the
big city, telling him that he was
to visit in Douglas for several weeks
and wanted to buy a Chrysler car.
He described just the type of car
he wanted and when he would arrive
and was advised that the car would
be ready. sgf5fff
A day or two before he was due
to start, Hood wired him that the
car would be awaiting him. The day
for his arrival came. Hood drove the
car down to the station, filled with
gas and tuned to- perfect operation
He had never seen Levinson ana prior
to the correspondence Levinson had
never heard from Hood, but when
the train pulled in Hood stepped uI
to the man he believed to be the
owner of the car and introduced
himself. His guess was right and
when he discovered that fact, he
remarked, There's your car, Mr.
Levinson," and carried the Chicago
ans grips out and loaded them into
it ard then arranged for the trunk
The start was made to the country
resort to which the Chicagoan hac
announced his plans to visit and after
conveying him some II mixes int
the country and knowing that III
had travelled the road on formel
visits the dealer turned back TO the
city.
"That is but one automobile tha
has been sold to people who come
to Douglas to enjoy our fine weather,
said Mr. Hood. "I think every o'tle
in the city has sold cars on difteren
occasions. We know that tourist
and winter visitors mean new casf

JESUS HEALING
The BLIND MAN .
], SERMON THEME

Evangelist Robertson at the AS
sembly of God church last night de-
livered one of his most interesting
sermons. He talked on Jesus heal
ing the blind man and the criticism
He received. The speaker said in
part:
1--WE have more critics in this
world today than anything else.
Jesus healed the blind man. He
picked some dirt from the ground
and rubbed it on the blind mans
eyes and told him to go to the pool
fof Sloan and wash it off. What
lii this man had said, oh, that, is
not necessary, or if he had said j
am tired when he got half. way
there and washed mis- eyes in lit
! tie pool before he reached the pool
Iof Sloan? He would not have
been, healed. He did just, as Jesus
itold him to do. and was made to
see, 80, -t,ys94 81

But they began to@eritieise Him.
They could not talk him out of it.
He knew Jesus healed him. Then
he went and asked his parents if
he was their son who was blind.
They answered, Yes And they
said How come he to seer The
lparents said to ask him.

there and they did not believe,

out because he said that Jesus did
it. Jesus heard they had cast him
out and He found him."

TALE OF A SQUIRREL I
BROUGHT FROM LESLIE
CANYON BY AIR LINE
No, I'm not big game,
Anything but
I'm just a little rock squirrel
Searching for a nut.

So sang a bushy-tailed rodent by
the side of the Leslie canyon road
as it watched the workmen getting
the road into condition for the Sum
day traffic. While the squirrel didn't
say so, it and its family enjoys
Leslie canyon as well as the motor
lists. There is reason for its
enjoyment of the canyon. Motorists
and ranchers frequently lunch there
and they always leave crumbs and
pieces of edibles which tickle the
palate Of squirrel That is eSpe-
cially true at the grove Of beautiful
trees, near which and to the west
the new route takes the pleasure
seeker down into the canyon. Ever
with these conditions, Workmen or
the road and motorists are perfectly
safe in the canyon.
But motorists will find the squirrels
almost as tame as house cats and
ready to come up and be friendly
If they are not lily treated they will
grow as tame as squirrels in city
parks They will soon Chamber upon
ones shoulder and take feed from
ones hand if they are only given
to understand that the visitors tc
the canyon are their friends. There
is an opportunity Tor those going
to the canyon to help to make pets
OF the squirrels and create in them
rare delight for the children who
visit the canyon on Sundays or
pleasure trips.
