men and women selling from lit

the street, particularly the Monte
street side, with their goods from
a penny up. Jewelry, trinkets,
all kinds of sweets, shoe laces,
everything is in their wares.
Coffee vendors go over the streets
with small thermos bottles and
coffee pots, selling cups of cof-
fee at penny cup. On every
corner of the Cuban capital you
can buy a glass of any kind of
cool drink for a penny. Labor is
so cheap that when a laborer gets
80 cents a day he considers him

but no one can own more than
two buses. The buses each have
certain routes, with 90 routes
covering Havana. You can trans
fer to any other bus, and if you
care to, you can ride as much as
20 miles on the original ticket,
which costs five cents. The bus
owners make an average of 10
to IL cents an hour and work
from 1914 hours day. The taxis
are modern cars and their driv-
ers charge 20 cents a trip to any
part of Havana. Gas is 80 cents
a gallon.
The homes of the poorer class
of Cuba on the outskirts of the
city are shocking. The people
themselves build small. one-room
houses of palm trees and old wood
and there families of from five
to ten live, with no water supply
or other sanitary measures. In
the cities they have ''ciudadelass.

LAST EVENING
MISSIONER DISCUSSES Ma
TURE or CHURCH AT
ST. pAUL.s

In his instruction last night at
the mission which is being held at
st. Paul's Church, Father Tiede-
mann discussed the nature of the
: Church. He pointed out, first of
an. that the Church was not, as
is popularity and frequently sup
posed. a group Of people who are
seeking God. Such a description
would fit a guild or a society in
the Church. But the real nature
OF the Church is quite different.
The Church is the mystical Body
Of Christ seeking us. We join
the Church by being baptised We
have an expression that blood is
thicker than water'' Blu tltgfe
are also waters which are thiolter
than blood. the waters of Baptism
which bind together in one mys-
teal Body all the members of the
Baptised, of every race and nation
and tongue and people.
The Church. Father Tiedemann
said. was the mystical Body of
Christ. II could also be deScrib-
ed as Jesus Christ at work in the
world today" Since the Church
is not club which Christ visits
from time to time. but Christ
Himself az work in the world to-
day, Christians have an authority
FOR their faith and morals. Father
Tiedemann gave several examples
az the Church providing authority
for Christian action.
Last Of all. the missioner point
ed ont that the Church was not
only our authority but also pro-
vided the very means of life.
Christianity is not q luxury we
can take or Aeave Is we happeA
20 fancy. bat 4he very means 81
life. Without the Church We can
exist. but within the Body OF
Christ. We begin 10 live

WAGES AND HounS

Confronted by the fact that the
House Rules Committee had de-
cided not to grant a special rule
to provide consideration of the
Wages and Hours bill before the
House, President Roosevelt, last
week, threw his influence behind
an. effort to secure 218 signatures
to discharge petition. which
would automatically bring the
measure before the House.

way ia which the 10000 inhabit-

washing or Bathing purposes, is
thrown into the streets. and as
the.city IS built on the side of a
hin, the water runs down the
streets until it reaches a small
brook and from there it runs
down into the harbor. The odor
is very bad around these brooks
and it surprised me that the
health was as high as it appeared.
Havana's water supply is deriv-
cd from Vento Springs, which
was adequate for a city of 100000

whole thing, util | heard about that
Block 2S, located right between the
High School and the Grammar
School. That is really a perfect
location for another school, and
should be chosen because of its
ideal location, in case the school
districts are consolidated and we
have just one district It is easier
and much less expensive to have
the school buildings fairly close to-
gether, if it is all under one head.
The block 2S is the highest ground
in Coolidge, and an attractive
school building on that site, with
the Hi School across the Hiway,
the traveller will get a good i'm
preston of the Coolidge schools.
That location is a good one for all
parts of the town, certainly the
best of any offered, from the stand
point of the whole community.

Golden Wedding
Is Celebrated
By Coolidge Couple

Just recently a minister wrote
in national magazine that when
he was called on to perform a
marriage Of some young giddy
couple he would make the usual
declaration: Il now pronounce you
man and wife" then breathe silent
ly "and may God have mercy on
your souls!"
Not so on Tuesday evening, De-
cember the 9Th in the year of our
Lord 1888, when Reverend E. M.
Ward of the Community Church
united in marriage j. w. Craig and
Cora Craig Of Coolidge, Arizona. in
the presence of host of friends of
the family. Ace Gardner, deputy
sheriff, and E. E. Stringer, consta-
BILE, were the official witnesses and
signed the marriage certificate, but
it wasn't shotgun wedding at all.
1t was the Golden Wedding of Mr..
and Mrs. j. w. Craig, honored and
respected citizens of Coolidge. Mr..
and Mrs. Craig were first married
on Dec. 9Th 1888, back in Corbin,
Texas, Just a couple of kids" so
Mrs. Craig says, he was 20 and she
was 16, and they got married "for
keeps. They have not been separ-
ated for 30 days at a time in the
SO years that have rolled by since
that day in 1888. Seems like Joe
would be lonesome and wander ar
ound in a houseful of folks, if I
wasn't there" says Mrs. Craig,
'and kind of felt that I should be
around and look after him, so we
didn't get far away from each 9TH
err"
Mr.. Craig is hale and hearty at
70 and attends to his regular work
in the Diesel plant every day, got
hdded lot by his fellow workers
morning for being new
lywed." Mrs. Craig is a friendly
motherly lady, with white hair and
real twinkle in her brown eyes.
They have reared eight children,
all healthy and good citizens, they
have ten grand children and one
great grand child. When asked by
the Examiner how it was that the
girls today didn't stay married very
long at a time, Mrs. Craig very
sensibly said: II think it's because
girls today can go to work and
make as much wages as the man.
We couldn't do that when l was
young
