Someplace within the city's limits,
it is proposed to erect a small stone

containing the highlight's Of No

founding data and the part it has
played in the ,upbuilding of the ma

Highligf1tS of practically every
community, town and city in Ari-

posal not only for the historical
value, but also as tourist guide.
Annually thousands of tourists
pass through tuur ccities and towns
and leave Tnany times without
knowing the Importance of them"
Mrs. Keen said. mo state in the
nation has a more fascinating his
tory than ArEa1ta and it is our pur-
pose to preserve that history thru
these plaques and monuments.
Oraibi, an z@dian village in Nor
thern Navajo county, has been de-
scribed as the oldest continually
inhabited community ON the North
American continent. Yet. Mrs. Keen
pointed out, there IS nothing with
m it's limits to tell tourists or even
the historian, archaeologists, and
other scientists Gf this ffact.
In the future" e.1e said. ''peo-
pie will want to know the early
histories Of towns like PfaoeniX, Tue

THE PROGRESSIVES

THIRD PARTY THREAT
PROHIBITION COMPLEXITIES

About the biggest political event
of the past few months was the
conference of the 'progressives" at
washington. Regardless of what the
regular Democrats or Republicans
may tell you this meeting may go
down in history as the turning
point of the present era, and, then
again, it may be little more than
an airing cf views by a few con-
gressnlen,
There are, on the horizon, signs
that Indicate the favor of the goes
to a movement for q third party,
but, the difficulties which such a
movement faces are SO obvious that
even hopeful partisans of such an
organization do not fancy it has
q chance. Nevertheless, the interest
aIa over the nation in the Wash
ington parley, the fact that there
assembled enough congressman to
ccntrol the organization of both
houses in December and the open
criticism that was directed against
both parties show plainly what may
gbe the outcome of the agitation,
with few years development.
While the progressive conference
did not spend much tinfe discussing
the subject of prohibition it is the
factor that looms large in any po-
1itical analysis of the future. The
northeastern states and the south
and west generally, are dry, and
believe it OF not, viii vote dry.
This makes for complications.

ocrats nominate a wet, that Hoov-
