TOURIST TRADE
INDICATED FOR "a

An increase in Arizona tour
lst trade for the 1933-34 year is
IN sight on the basis of informa-
tion obtained at eastern tourist
and travel bureaus at the Ari-
zona information desk at the
Century of progress Exposition
In Chicago, was reported by
those in charge.
The general opinion obtained
from tour ist agencies is that
there will be a considerable
gain in Southwestern travel this
season, it was said.
The purpose of the desk at
the fair was to contact persons
actually interested in Arizona,
and to give accurate informa-
ton and literature to prospec-
tive visitors, a list of whom was
kept for careful "follow-ups."
Principal subjects on which
information was requested were
climate, accommodations, liv-
ing conditions, ranches. hotels,
private and public schools, agri-
cultural opportunities, scenic
attactions, sanatoria and busi-
ness opportunities.
Information about all sec
tions of the state was given out
impartially, and as far as pos
sible, literature covering the
whole state and its resources
and attractions was kept avail
able. Many persons who al
ready had visited Arizona call
ed at the information desk to
make enthusiastic comments
on Arizona's climate, resorts
and scenic wonders, as we'll as
other attractions, and to ex-
press their desire to return this
season or for next summer. .--Ex

CRASSHOPPERS
BLOCK TRAINS

An avalanching wave OF
grasshoppers so thick that the
trains are blocked at Doce, near
here, was reported recently.
More than 4 feet thick along
a belt of two miles, the grass
hoppers prevented passage of a
Santa Fe freight train between
Rams gate and Iron Springs.
Unable to proceed, the train
crew was forced to attack the
barrier with shovels, laboring
several hours before a passage
way could be effected, W. F.
Fourier, a Santa Fe engineering
official, reported.
The swarming insects have
forced trains to halt for several
hours the past two nights.

SPENDING is SAYING NOW

True economy is that which
obtains the largest possible re-
turn for a dollar spent. Truer
economy is to spend that dollar
at a time when it will bring the
most.
We have had a number of
years of extreme depression.
Prices have dropped to un-
imaginably low levels. Buy
ing power has been close to
non-existant. There was mon
ey in the country--but persons
who had surplusses were afraid
to spend. They went without
needed articles in order to keep
their savings intact. They per-
mitted property to fall into
costly disrepair.
If they pursue that timid
policy any longer, they are 60
ing to be literally out of luck.
That boarded money is going
down in value now. The worth
of the dollar depends entirely
on what it will buy. Six months
from now it will buy much less
than it will buy today. In
other words, if you keep money
in a non-productive state at
present it amounts to throwing
a certain percent of it away.
You can get maximum value
from your money only by putt
ing it to use. There was never
a better time to install a new
heating plant, to repair or place
a roof, to build or rebuild, to
paint or to do a thousand SINH
lar things. Every dollar so
spent will appreciate in value
what it buys will, in a very
short time, have a market value
much in excess of what you paid.
Think it over. True saving
now is through wise spending.

NEW LIFE IN MINING

The mining industry, long in
the doldrums, is feeling the surge
of new life with the govern
ment's decision to permit the
sale of gold abroad, where the
price is higher than in this coun-
try. The American price is
slightly over S20per ounce-else-
where as much as $50 may be
obtained.
According to treasury officials
a major gold mining revival will
be the result, and the industrv's
profits should increase by about
Sl5,OO0,000 per year, That is
good news for the west. II
means jobs, stimulated purchas.
ing, better business in all lines
The mines were the reason fol
moving the frontier toward the
Pacific in the old days--ano
their position as one of the most
important of basic industries
has never been lost.

FIGHTING THE RECK-
LESS AUTO DRIVER

This year the month of Sep
tember has been dedicated to
the most intensive campaign in
the interest of automobile acci-
dent prevention ever carried on
in this country.
The governors of 81 states
and the commissioners of the
District of Columbia have issued
proclamations and messages.
More than 10000, 900 persons
"A per cent of our total popula-
tion-live in their areas. Sew
enty-fve per cent of all automo-
biles in the country are register
ed within them, and last year
about 75 per cent of the $4,000
deaths occurred in the particl-
patlng territory.
In 1892 there was a decrease
in automobile accidents and
fatalities, as compared with 1881.
This year the trend has been re-
versed, and the toll is again on
the upgrade. The reckless, the
discourteous and the incompet-
ent still rule the highways.
The public streets and roads
are still shambles both for per-
sons and for property.
Only the individual motorist
can conquer this organized de-
struction. There are few such
things as unavoidable accidents.
And it has been proven that
raising the salty factors of roads
and vehicles does no good-the
driver simply trusts to the en-
gineers, and operates his car
even more recklessly.
During the September cam
paign, facts and figures detail
ing the havoc wreaked by ex-
cessive speeds, by violation of
right-of-way laws, by passing
on curves and hills, by that
most common of all motoring
ills discourtesy, will be brought
to our attention. And all of us
should consider it both a duty
and a privilege to cooperate.

WILL SEND ARIZONA EX-
HIBIT TO CHICAGO FAIR

Irving A. Jennings, state
commander of the American
Legion was appointed by Gov.
Moeur as head of the commits
sion which will finance and
make all arrangements for the
exhibits which will be taken to
the exposition by the Morgan
McDermott post drum and
bugle corps which is being sent
to Chicago by the Legion to
lead the big convention parade.
The members of the drum and
bugle corps have been named
by Governor Moeur as the
official ENJOYS of the state to
the Century of Progress Ex-
position.
Action of the Governor fol-
lowed numerous expressions of
disappointment by Arizonans
attending the Worlds Fair who
found the Arizona booth in the
Court of States" the only
vacant one among the As. Be-
cause of its alphabetical advan-
tage, Arizona was assigned one
of the best locations and the
vacant booth under the name
of Arizona" is conspicuous.
The space has been available
to this state but various at
tempts of the governor to OBJ
tain legislative appropriations
for the purpose have met with
failure.
Upon hearing that the Nor
gan McDermott corps would
be sent to the convention, Gov.
Moeur communicated with the
Arizona Department of the
American Legion and suggested
that that body take over the
task. Commander Jennings
Immediately accepted on be-
half of the Legion and was
named head of the commission.
Millions of people have at
tended the fair and hundreds
of thousands more are expecte d
to witness it before it comes to
an end. The value of having
these crowds see an Arizona ex-
hibit is considered great in
view of the small cost under the
new plan.
Arrangements for getting to-
gether the exhibits will be start
ed at once by Mr.. Jennings. A
natural floral exhibit, a display
of Indian curios, a mineral ex-
hibit. artists conceptions of
Arizona, sunshine winter scenes
and states scenic attractions,
citrus and date displays and a
pecan exhibit from the Yuma
valley are among the things to
be shown.
The ENJOYS from the drum
and bugle corps will take charge
of things at the booth during
the convention, distribute liter
ature and answer questions
asked by tourists. After the
convention. at least two of the
members of the corps will re-
main with the exhibit until the
close of the exposition,
