Henry Ford celebrated his seven
ty-fifth birthday on July thirtieth.
Many people when they think Of
Henry Ford associate with his name

dustria, field-his development of
mass production in the construction
of automobiles.
Few people know the softer and
more sentimental side of his char
acter-the burning desire to make
this world a better place in which
to live. His ideas for the improve
ment of the race are largely cen
tered around the education of the
youth. and at Greenfield Village in
Detroit he is carrying out a great
experiment in unique school
known as the Edison Institute.
To commemorate Henry Ford g
birthday Grover Hall has present
ed the Grammar School library with

the motives back of the develop
ment of Greenfield Village with its
Edison Institute and the educa-
tional projects at Ways, Georgia
and in Upper Michigan. In these
schools Mr.. Ford is attempting TO
duplicate the conditions under
which the United States developed
its great men who built a great
empire out of a wilderness.
Everyone interested in the edu-
cation of youth and everyone de-
sirous of knowing the real Henry
Ford can now read Henry Ford
and Greenfield Village" the gift

In announcing my candidacy for
reelection, on the Democratic tick
ct, to the office of state auditor,
| wish to express my appreciation
for the confidence placed in me by
the people in the 1896 election.
The principal requirement of the
state auditor is to audit, investi-
gate, adjust and settle claims
against the state, payable out of
state funds. The auditor must de-
termine whether a claim is for
an actual public purpose, and if
not, payment must be refused.
Great responsibility rests upon the
auditor and | have endeavored to
vigilantly guard the expenditures
of state moneys. l have constantly
kept before me the fact that my
first duty is to the people of Ari-
zona. My decisions have been
made without prejudice or for
political effect.
My knowledge of the laws per-
tanning to state finances and my
experience in governmental ac-
counting, | believe, affords the peo-
pie of Arizona assurance that | am
qualified to continue in, and ade-
quately administer the office of
state auditor.
At all times my aim has been
to be courteous to the public; to
departmental officials and govern
mental employees. If my official
acts have met with approval !
shall appreciate being returned as
state auditor.

The Low Down
From Hickory Grove

| see where it says in the paper
that our Number One trouble in
this country il is in the South
and we have got to fix it right
away.
l don't always read the paper
from cover to lover. bat l kinda
had the idea that everything had
been fixed-both north and south
But | reckon | musta missed some
of the news, somehow or other.
But if it was me who was accus-
ing EN- down south of being pro
blem number one, would have the
storm cellar door wide open and
would stay nearby and be ready to
run-and fast.
| do not banker or crave any
fracas-by word or gun with
any Hon. Pat Harrison or any 9th
er southern gent And maybe they
are mild and polite and peaceful
down there, but stranger, calm
'em problem number one-not on
your tintype
Yours, with the low down,

Passes at ROSlyn
A Tribute bu E. II. Holmes

A Tribute by E. II. Holmes
Elder j. P. Brown, age SO years
early day missionary, and pioneer
minister, who for fifty years has
preached the gospel of Christ, and
him crucified, upon the highway
and by-way. At the crossroads,
and up and down the Pacific North
west. He went to his reward on
January 18th, at Roslyn, Wash
ington.
Elder Brown came like another
John the Baptist in Territorial
days. Blazing trails and pioneering
- laying the foundation of the
Baptist Faith, spreading the faith
and gospel to all who would lis
ten, he organized the Calvary Bap-
fist church in Spokane Falls. He
was a God fearing soldier of the
Cross. His zeal and love for the
Master carried to leadership and
wide influences that justly was
his own. His name is a household
word in the northwest; this old
father in Israel, weary of the bur-
den of well spent life, laid down
his load, several months ago, and
awaited the summons, with Chris
tan resignation. When it came
the old race leader, follower of
the Lamb; first citizen who helped
to lay the foundation of a great
State went home to his glory. His
life Godlike, he left a spotless
name, full of charity and good
deeds as a priceless heritage to his
race and mankind.

Hitler Presses
Demands For
Early Colonies
World Wide NelOS)

NHOitU HtuG N6tVSJ
Germany's demand for the re-
turn of her former colonies has
once more become an issue of
great international Importance.
General Won Epp, head of the
Nazi Colonial Political Office, an
nounced, in his speech at Munich
that in the future the Colonial
Political office would closely col
laborate with the committee for
Colonial Right and that their
joint missions would be ito fur
nish basis for the impending ac-
ton of the Fuhrer which will pro-
vide satisfactory solution of the
colonial question"
An article in the National lei
tung" General Goering's news
paper) contains the following:
Germany demands - and will
demand in ever increasing meas
ures the return of her African col
onies with all emphasis and in the
plaineSt manner. She not only
needs them for her livelihood; she
has every moral right to possess
them" In threatening language
the article continues: 1--WE no lon
ger live in the year 1919; the
strengthening of the military force
and determination of Germany
have altered the conditions which
made possible the colonial injus-
tice of Versailles and Geneva"
The "Deutche Allgemeine lei
tung" states: South Africa with
barely 100000 inhabitants is a
space without people, and even
urgently needs immigrants from
Europe as counterpoise to the
colored population of 100000 who
are already infected with bolshe-
vism."
1t is not only the open pro-fas-
cists who. encourage Hitler in his
demand to rule Africans. In an
editorial, the London Times" of
Oct. %, calls for "a genuine at
tempt to find for Germany some
acceptable field for development.
The recognition that she was ca
pax imperii would be all the more
satisfactory if such a field could
be opened to her by the common
action of three or four of the great
colonizing Powers with contigu-
Gus African territories"

Children Love
Marching Music

How children love to march,
There is nothing quite so thrilling
to children of all ages as marching
to stirring music.
Did you know that this universal
love of children to march to a STIR
ring tune led to the writing of one
of the most popular songs ever
sung in our churches - Onward,
Christian Soldiers?
In the beautiful little English
town of Horbury, in 1865, the con-
gregation of the Established
Church of that village decided to
go to neighboring town for a
Whitmenday festival. All the chill
dren were to go in body, march
ing and singing, through the beau
tiful countryside.
The pastor of the church, Rev.
Sabine Barring Gould, when plan
ming for this occasion, wished that
the children might have a stirring
song to sing as they marched
along. Accordingly, he sat up all
night before the event and wrote
the words to Onward, Christian
Soldiers. The children sang this
inspiring song on their march and
it has become one of the best
known of all marching songs, sung
and loved by people of all ages.
