Big Naval Increase
Next Year, Insists
Roosevelt Message
Wants 81, 500 Sailors by
1885; Conceals PWA
Allotment

WASHINGTON. = That the New
Deal is a war deal was obvious from
President RooseYelt's budget state
ment here Thursday. The enlisted
strength of the navy will be raised
from 79,7O0 to 82,500 men by the end
Of the fiscal year 1885. Marine
strength, it is proposed, will be raised
from $4,000 to 10000. Naval and
marine corps paid drills will be sc
annually, instead of "a, the president
stated. More aviation drills are to
be given the reserves.
Hides Increase
While the total increase for mod
ernization and construction Of naval
vessels. shows a statistical decrease
from 1884, the total suggested, $685.
030,725 Is actually far from cut
since, with characteristic hypocrisy
the budget message deliberately ig-
nores the $238,OO0,Go0 turned over
from the Public Works Administra-
ton fund for the building Of 80 YES
sells.
The message further proposes that
the present economy provisions pro-
hibiting automatic pay increases tc
army and navy officers be permitted
to lapse. This, translated into dol
lars, means over $2300O,00O for the
navy. It was estimated that beside;
the new allotment Of funds and the
money set aside from P.W.A. funds
for battleship building, $50 800 ,o0t
would be necessary to construct the
warships previously authorized.
The total funds to be expended
on sea-war preparation In the next
fiscal year will, therefore, amount
to grand total Of 603,33O,725.

British Working On
Secret War Plane

LONDON, Jan. 5.-A secret Strato-
sphere plane, expected to cut by one
third present speed records for trans
oceanic flights, is being developed by
the British Air Ministry.
If projected experimental flight is
successful, this type of plane would
be added to the flying equipment OF
the Royal Air Force as an especially
effective weapon for swift raids on
enemy cities and revolutionary strug-
giles in India, Africa, etc. The plane
is capable Of making the flight to
New York within few hours, loaded
with bombs.

TO THE WATER USERS
OF NORTH COOLIDGE

The first irrigation season
during which private lands in
the District must pay full oper-
alton and maintenance charges
is effective beginning January
l, 1884. The irrigation season.
al year will hereafter coincide
with the calender year
The San Carlos water charge
for each indiudule lot has been
set at "A cents. This basic as
sessment is levied against each
lot, regardless Of whether water
is used or not, and is included
in the regular County tax bill
collected by the County Treas
urer. This district tax may be
paid separate from County and
State taxes. No release Of
water will be made to lot in
North Coolidge unless the dist
trict tax is paid to the County
Treasurer as follows: first half
p cents for each lot before
December 81, 1888 and last half
p cents before March /, 1884
The payment OF this amount
will entitle the lot owner to two
acre feet of water.
In addition to the above
water tax, the North Coolidge
Water Users Association will
levy an assessment against each
lot using water, as it has in the
past for the distribution of
water.
If you are not a lot owner in
North Coolidge, and desire
water, it will be necessary for
you to pay your water tax in
the County Treasurer's Office
before water will be delivered
to you.

4 FAIR QUESTION

Stirred by growing tendency
of his fellow townsmen to use
the newspaper for everything
but advertising, a South Dako-
ia editor recently asked them a
pertinent question, in a page
one box:
IF a member of your family
died, would you send out the
obituary in a circulay letter? If
your wife entertained, would
you run a slide on the screen of
the movie show? If you were
to enlarge your store, would
you tell folks in a hotel register?
If you were to have a wedding
at your house, would you tack
the news on a telephone post?
Then why in heck don't you
put your advertising in the
newspaper, too?'---Ex.

BALL
TO Be HELD ON
TUESDAY JAN. SOTH

Preliminary plans for the
Birthday Ball for President

LUCKY PIECES DESIGNED
FOR CONNENORATION

To commemorate the COM
pletion of the new speed, light
weight, steamlined Union Paci-
fic passenger train, the Union
pacific lucky piece has been
designed. The first of these to
be made are being sent to
American editors. These lucky
pieces are made of aluminium
alloy, the same material of
which the new Union Pacific
train is built, as strong as steel
of the same dimensions but of
only one-third the weight.
The Union Pacific is deeply
appreciative Of the interest
which has been shown by pub
fishers, editors and writer's in
the development and construc-
tion of this train. It's compile
tion in January marks an epoch
in transportation history. The
progress of the experiments are
to be carried on will be followed
with keen interest by railroad
executives all over the world.
A total of 100000 of these
lucky pieces have been made.
These will be given to school
children and to visitors on the
train on It's exhibition tour.
1t is interesting to know that
it took five tons--10,000 pounds
of aluminium allow to make the
million lucky pieces.

CONGRESS

Short, sweet and snappy,---
that's the general forecast for
the present session of Congress.
Unless there's a terrific reversal
in the attitude of the members,
the executive--legislative honey
moon will 60 on much as it did
last session. The least optimis-
tic estimates place Pres. Roose-
yelt's margin Of control as be-
ing a little better than two
thirds in each house. 1t will
probably be larger than this,
inasmuch as a number of Dem
ocratlc senators and representa-
tives who have been criticising
Administration measures rather
bitingly, are sure to fall in love
when roll-call time arrives.
When it comes to enforcing
party regularity, the Democra-
tic leaders always have been
exceptionally good.
The Republican attitude is
interesting. Neither house is
over-populated with Republi-
cans, and the leaders aren't 60
ing to take chances of further
reductions in strength when the
elections roll around once more.
Strategy will be to remain
fairly quiet, to cooperate with
the President, to keep an eye
out for changes in the flow ot
public opinion. A strange the
ory is the main cause of this
The press correspondents oi
both Administration and oppo.
sition newspapers, practically
unanimously report that il
their journeys about the coun.
try, they find disappointment
in the workings of the recovery
program, among the bulk of tn,
voters---and find also that Mr.
Roosevelt's personal popularity
is unimpaired, is perhaps great
er than ever.

WHAT NEWSPAPER AD-
VERTISINC HAS DONE

Abe Plough, President of
Plough Inc in telling what
newspaper advertising has done
for his business says:
In 1910 our firm invested
$187. 90 in newspaper advertis-
ing. In recent times we have
invested as much as 81, 100000
a year in advertising, mostly in
newspapers. | use the word in
vested instead of spent be-
cause in 1910 we sold less than
ten thousand packages, whereas
our products, which in cludes
such we'll known items as Pene-
tro, the Mutton Suet Salve,
and St Joseph's Genuine Pure
Aspirin, are now selling at a
rate OF 48,O00,OOO packages a
year.
"If, like Elbert Hubbard, I
were asked to publish a credo,
l should say, G) manufacture
products of merit; (2) sell
them at popular prices; and (3)
advertise them consistently in
newspapers, weekly, as well as
daily papers.
L firmly believe newspaper
advertising has played a major
part in whatever measure Of
success we have enjoyed.

ANCIENT PICTURE
ROCK MOVED TO
MESA FROM CANYON

A great rock bearing the out
lines of the old Mayan Calendar
was moved to the grounds of
the Arizona Temple last week.
This was taken from Hierogly-
phic Canyon.
The rock was a gift to the
Temple by the Indian depart
ment at Sacaton, and was found
near the throne of Hatsehuhin,
or the trysting stone of the
maidens Of the Pima tribe where
they tossed pebbles against the
stone seat where their lovers
sat ages ago.
A truck from the O. S. Stap-
ley company was used to con-
vey the rock to Mesa. Mem
bers of the Jr. Gospel Do trine
class of Mesa Second Ward, of
which j. w. Lesuer is teacher,
brought the rock to the temple
grounds. 1t is placed on the
south central part of the grounds
near the fresh air intake. One
side is completely covered with
hieroglyphics and picturegraphs
An interesting feature of the
hieroglyphics is the series of
circles that correspond in num-
Der and in subdivisions with
the Mayan calendar stone, a
rectangular block 13 feet and
one inch square, weighing "a
tons, and built into the wall of
the cathedral Il the City of
Mexico, which covers the calen
dar from the year 613 b. G to
2147 years without the loss of
single day, the most perfect of
all the calendars the world has
ever known.
In appearance it seems that
the outlines cut on the face of
the rock were made to resemble
the Mayon stone, in it's subdi-
visions and circles. Two other
smaller calendars appear, with
the rays of the sun shining on
them.
Another very interesting char
acter on the face of the stone is
character with ten marks
with line under them, which
is the exact reproduction of a
similar character in a copy of
the characters which Joseph
Smith copied from the plates Of
the Book of Mormon and gave
to Martin Harris to take to
Professors Anthon and Mitchell,
Columbia University, and which
in the professors Interpretation
mean "The Book" or in other
words, being the leaves of the
book with the back fastened to
it.

BRINGING HOME
LOAN BONDS TO
PAR At ONCE

"One of the first acts OF the
present congress will undoubt-
edly be to guarantee the pay
ment of the principal of the
home loan bonds" said Roy
Wayland, Arizona manager Of
the Federal Home Owners. Loan
Corporation. President Roose-
welt is expected to request con-
gress to take such action, and
the matter is to come up for
early consideration. The same
request has already been made
by the President for the guaran-
teeing of farm loan bonds, and
congress will probably guarae-
tee the payment of the princi-
pal in both of these series of
bonds in similar enactment.
The payment of the interest on
both of these series was guaran-
teed in the first enactment dur
ing the special session last
spring.
Such a guarntee should bring
the home loan bonds up to par
at once, as they will then have
the same financial status of any
other federal government bonds.
"Such a guarantee will great
ly facilitate the task of extend
ing relief to home owners, while
at the same time furnishing
every protection to all mortga-
ges." Wayland said.
The Home Owners Loan Cor
poration entered the new year
with S103,257,S53 of loans on
36,310 urban homes closed and
paid out, according to Roy
Wayland. Despite the Christ
mas holiday, 3,941 loans were
closed during the week ending
December 80. The dollar vol
ume was S13,S5O,555.
To the end of December 234-
go applications for home mort
gage refunding loans, or for the
small loans permit ted by law to
pay taxes or assessments or
make essential repairs on un-
mortgaged homes, had been
tentatively approved. These
totaled 662,547 500.
During the week ending Dec
ember 80, 1864 mortgages
concented fo accept the 1 per
cent bonds of the corporation
in exchange for their mortgages
in the event that the CORE
spending refnancing applica-
tions were finally approved.
The amount represented was
1867, 1856.
Applications approved after
detailed appraisal during the
week numbered IL, $50, aggre-
eating s31, ,230,454. OF these,
2,475, amounting to 81, ,514,4
were approved with reduction.
