part, as follows, relative to the
Nogales course in physical educa-

II have your letter of June 30th

cation which is being sponsored by

Siluerites To
Combat Use Of
Word "Subsidize"

PHOENIX, July IA campaign
has been launched by the Arizona
Department of Mineral Resources
and the Arizona Small Mine Oper-
ators Association to combat the
frequent use of the word "subsidize'
with relation to the government
purchasing of. silver which has now
been fixed by statute at I'LL cents
per ounce. 1t is claimed that those
who have pinned the word on the
silver have been doing it for the
sole purpose of adversely influenc-
ing public opinion and that they
know that no subsidy is actually
being paid.
In commenting on this subject, w.
j. Graham, president of the Ari-
zona Small Mine Operators Asso-
citation stated that "a united front
of all western states should be pre-
sented to stop what is termed as a
definition in modern dictionaries of
the word 'subsidize' as being used
for the purpose of disseminating
'subsidizing silver by those with a
lack of knowledge of the subject,
but mostly by those who use it in
the hope of augmenting sentiment
against silver as monetary me-
dunn
Until the recent disclosure by
the Director Of the Mint" continued
Graham, "of the average CONNER
cial value of silver as being 90
cents for a period of AS years end
ing June 80, 1888, nothing of a con-
crete nature was available to COM
bat the unfair tactics of those who
were primarily interested IN the
welfare of people in foreign coun-
tries. The true facts are that no
subsidy is granted to silver pro-
ducers when any price under the
actual average commercial value of
90 cents is paid
j. S. Coupal, director of the De-
partment of Mineral Resources also
called attention to the fact that the

Governor R. T. Jones enclosed the
following in a letter this week to
DR.. Charles S. Smith:
ITO the Young Men of Nogales:
To each and everyone of you I ex-
tend my sincere good wishes and
greetings.
IT sincerely hope that you will
use to good advantage the knowl-
edge learned in the Physical Edu
cation classes which the business
men of Nogales have so generously
arranged for you.
your bodies are wonderful crea-
tions. They are the ONLY bodies
you will ever be given. Take proper
care of them and they will serve
you long and we'll.
1T has often been said he who
loses his health loses all 1t mat
ters not how much money you
might make or how much honor
is heaped upon you. If you have
allowed your body to become sicken-
ed and diseased, you will never be
able to enjoy it. HEALTH COMES
FIRST. If you keep your bodies
strong and clean and fit, there is
nothing that. with a little persis-
tence, you cannot achieve,-and
with that achievement, know tine
happiness you were meant to
know"
