Watermelon Party at
The Waikiki Inn

Last Saturday evening about 500
pounds of watermelons were dis,
posed of by the large crowd that
gathered at the Waikiki Inn to see
the awards prescribed to those
passing the two weeks swimming
course offered by the Red Cross.
The watermelon feast was a climax
to swimming entertainment given
by several members of the differ
ent classes. One of the events that
delighted the spectators was a
swimming act by the two Smith
boys, Walter and Theodore. Their
bodies outlined with small electric
lights the flood lights being turned
off, they swan around the darkened
pool much in the manner of a
couple of seals. Both boys are fine
swimmers and the lighting effect
was quite fantastic.

Sweden Letter
Reaches Tucson
In Five Days

Shades of Left Erickson and
Christopher Columbus. Tucson is
just five days by mail from Stock
holm, Swedeni
That astounding bit of informa-
tion came this morning on a letter
addressed to j. B. O'Dowd, from
his wife, who is now visiting Swe.
den, and whom he will join the lat
ter part of July.
O'Dowd received the letter with
a date mark of June 80 when he
opened his mail and, whit the post
office closed yesterday, there is a
possibility the letter reached here
on last nights plane.
The route taken was by air mail
from Stockholm to either South
ampton, England, or LIE Havre
France, and from thence to New
York on an Atlantic clipper ship
then from New York to Tucson by
airmail.-Tucson Daily Citizen.

as all kinds of liquid refreshments.
The grounds are to handicapped and
when the plans are finished Desert

Mail Service to be
Greatly Improved

A sky route will soon be let that
will improve the mail service from
Coolidge to Florence, Kelvin, Hay
den. and Winkleman. It now takes
to 4 days to send a letter from
Coolidge to the above places and
with the new service it will be
possible to send a letter to any of
the towns mentioned and receive a
reply the same day. A similar i'm
provement should be made in the
mail service between Coolidge and
Casa Grande. If a letter is mailed
from Casa Grande to Coolidge. 1t
has to go by the way of Tucson, or
Yuma and Phoenix, requiring a
couple of days altho the towns are
only little more than 20 miles
apart. The rural mail carrier from
Casa Grande and Coolidge traverse
the same route at one point and it
locks as though some means could
be arranged for the carriers to pick
I'D and deliver the mail for Casa
Grande and Coolidge without max
ing such a circuitous route with
great loss of time.

Property Owners
Must Sign Petition
For Fire Department

Four petitions are being circulat-
ed for the property owners to sign
but so far the committee in charge
of circulating the petitions have
not had the cooperation of the
property owners. 1t is necessary for
81 percent of the property owners
to sign the petition so that it can
be presented to the Board of Su-
pervisors for their approval. When
this petition Is approved by the
Supervisors they will advertise the
proposition and call special elec
ton to decide whether or not the
property owners are willing to
have their property taxed to sup
port fire department here in Coo
lidge. 1t is estimated that the tax
required to cover the expense of
a fire department will amount to
about 5 mills. This would allow
for a fire equipment that would
meet the requirements of the in
surance companies and conse-
quently reduce the cost of insurance
sufficiently to offset the amount
that would be paid in taxes. In
view of the fact that Coolidge has
already had several disastrous fires
it looks as though the petition
would be signed Immediately. The
indifference shown is probably due
to the fact that many do not know
about the petitions being circulated.
For those who are entitled to sign
they will find petition at any one
of the following places. The o.
Malley Lumber Co., Coolidge Auto
Supply, Chamber of Commerce, and
Don Paul, chairman of the commit
tee. If the property owners want
adequate fire protection now is The
time to work for it. Sign the peti-
ton yourself and urge any other
property owner you may know
about to do the same. Don't put
all the responsibility on few to
get the necessary signatures.

Mr.. President, about the year A
D. 161 it was obvious to the re-
sponsible statesmen of the Roman
Empire that the Empire would not
endure unless carefully guarded,
and so the greatest statesman
philosopher the Roman Empire
ever produced, Marcus Aurelius,
when he assumed his duties as
Emperor, took as his watchword
Hold thine own" He knew that
the barbarians or the outlanders
in the hinterlands and in the far
flung reaches of the Empire were
making inroads upon the solidarity
of the Empire. Marcus Aurelius did
not seek to extend the Empire. His
motto was Hold thine own; and
under that plan of action, with mis-
clear perception of duty to his own
government, he was able, through
himself and his successors, to keep
the Roman Empire as a going con
Germ for another century or two
although the western division ol
the Empire eventually collapsed
about A. D. 476.

Opposing Further
Purchase Of
Foreign Silver

Speech of Hon. Henry F. Ashurst
of Arizona in the Senate of the
United States, June 26, 1889.
Mr.. Ashurst Mr.. President, it is
with regret and unfeigned diffid-
ence that I disagree with the con-
clusions of my worthy leader, my
dear friend and Senator firm Ken
lucky (Mr. Barkley). Mr.. Gladstone
in the British Parliament did not
more redoubtedly or more ably
argue for trade with foreign gov
ernments than has the able Senator
from Kentucky argued for trade for
his own country. commend him for
his temper in the debate. He has
conducted the debate with a high
degree of ability but do not agree
with his conclusions.

Local Lions Club
Still Hunting Cub

Is there any young lion in the
country who would like steady
job. including home and keep, with
plenty of California sunshine
thrown in? II so, he should direct
his application accompanied by
photography to the Metro-Goldwyn
Mayer studios-or, better still to
the local Lions Club.
A real lion hunt, without benefit
Of African background, has just
been launched by the film company
In cooperation with some thirty
five hundred Lions Clubs through
out America with the avowed in
tention Of combing all sectors of
the native heath, prying into all
|hideaways that might conceivably
shelter an infant lion.
The object? Not to locate a new
|four-legged acting star, or to pro
vide a playmate for Mickey Rooney.
The goal in this case Is to find 9
new living trademark, a sort Of un'
derstudy for MONS Leo, who for
the past fifteen years has provided
vocal prelude to some fifteen
hunderd M-G-M releases. Young
Leo's special job will be to get
next seasons short subject pro-
ductions off to a roaring start. 1t
will be in the nature of minor
key roar, for the animal that Is
being sought must be under eight
months old. Studio executives Offer
a long and attractive contract, with
potential succession to the throne
now occupied by Leo Sr.
The winning cub has between now
and mid-July to step forward and
claim his cinematic bonanza. The
major qualifications are a winning
smile, a disposition that is only
mildly carnivorous. and good
baritone voicc-or at least a voice
that promises to develop into 6
good baritone. Plans are now being
set for all likely candidates to gel
a trip to the international conven
ton Of Lions Clubs in Pittsburgh
July 1921, Immediately after which
the winner will attend the New
York Worlds Fair on July %, OF
ficially known as Lions Day. II
then remains for the junior Lee
to mount a California-bound plane

Bimson Talks
On Tourists

The importance to the people OF
Arizona of the tourist industry
larger than either the mining or
agricultural industry-was stressed
by Walter Bimson, chairman Of the
national advertising committee of
the Phoenix chamber of commerce,
in a speech to the Mesa Rotary
club Wednesday.
He told Rotarians that last year
the tourist trade amounted to more
than s7O,00O,000 in Arizona, and es-
timated that this year tourists will
spend more than $S2.000.O00 in the
state. He deplored the lack Of or
ganized effort to foster this lucra-
tive business.
The amount spent in advertising
the state is trifling compared with
the investments other states are
making in promotion of their re
sources. He pointed out that Phoe-
nix last year spent SIG, 900. as COM
pared with San Antonio, Texas
$4,000; Ell Paso, Texas, 100000:
and San Diego, California, s77,50O
He said that better roads, more
money for national advertising. bet
ter organization and planning. and
more education concerning the
value of tourist trade are needed tC
stimulate this type of business
