]. W. Harwood
Is Due Credit

j. w. Harwood local agent for the
Richfield Oil Corporation, is one CT
that substantial type of citizen upon
whom this community depends a
great deal for leadership and guild
ance. He has in the past and no
doubt will continue in the future
to give more than his share of time
and energy for the welfare of others
than himself His success is directly
attributed to his application to the
same principles which guide his per-
sonal affairs to all his business
dealings.
Mr.. HarWood has never been
known to inject himself into sit
uation for the mere purpose of gain
ing publicity. For that reason the
true estimates of his worth are
sometimes missed.
In Arizona 8 Years
Mr. HarWood became a resident

ice for the people of :. Santa Cruz

to civic betterment are too we'll
known to require further repeti-
ton in these columns. His person
al success has been turned to the
advantage of his fellow citizens. and
he is always ready and willing to
assist in any enterprise which
promises to advance the welfare Of
the community.
Mr.. Manson is deserving of our
highest compliments, and this trib-
ute is his just due.

Statewide WPA
Library Project

PHOENIX, Oct. 27-Announce-
ment that the Statewide WPA Lii
brary Project, under the sponsor
ship of the State Department of Lii
brary and Archives, of which Null
ford Winsor is Director, has been
inaugurated, will prove of major in
terest to Arizona communities which
do not enjoy free library service.
The purpose of the project is to
demonstrate the advantages and
benefits of such services, and to
supply the needs, through the estab-
lishment of libraries in at least
some of the communities desiring
them.
In the administrative direction of
the project Mr.. Winsor will have
the advisory assistance of William
Carlson and Miss Jane Hudgins, Ii
brarians respectively of the Univer-
sity of Arizona library and Phoe-
nix Public library. who with Mr..
Winsor constitute the State Board
of Library Examiners.
Miss Elma I. Courier, until re-
Gently librarian Of the State Teach
ers College at Flagstaff, is the
State superintendent, and will
have active charge of the project.
1t is not expected that it will be
possible, with the funds available
to establish libraries in all COM
munities needing or desiring them,
but the intention is to establish
them where the greatest need and
interest are manifested, and proper
cooperation insured.

DavidC. Jeffcott
Leading Rancher

In bringing our readers attention
to some of the more prominent citi-
Zens in our territory we would be
re-miss in our duty if we failed to
mention the name of David G.. jeff
colt, proprietor of the RAIL K
RANCH, a few miles from Pata-
gonia.
Only in our midst couple of
years, Mr.. Jeffcott has proven his
worth to the community by his
many services in giving his support
to all programs that are essential
in making Santa Cruz County bet
ter place in which to live.
We take this means of showing
our appreciation of Mr.. Jeffcott' S
civic inspirations and the more men
of his type we have in our territory
the more fortunate we may con-
slider ourselves.

over period of years that were
both beneficial to the city and

the many services which he has per-
formed to the interests of people
and he continues to carry on un-
noticed in the general development
for the common good to the COM
n1unity

john Jund
Civic Leader

Our issue this week proposes to
call the attention of our readers to
various civic leaders who have con-
tributed over a period of years to
the building up of Nogales to the
position of prominence which it en-
joys at the present. One of these
men, to whom we wish to call at
tention, is Mr. John Jund, prom
inent member of the Rotary Club.
Mr. Jund is at all times conscious
of his civic responsibilities and may
be depended upon to meet in every
detail the many opportunities which
present themselves to be of service
to the city and state.
Mr. Jund's record of. achievement
is one of which he may well be
proud. His value to the city and
state is an established fact, and we
hasten to give him credit which is
justly due.
Born Here

1890 and was proprietor of the No
gales Feed & Seed Company for
many years until selling out last
spring to A. w. Steensen.

missed a meeting of the Rotary
Club since joining in 1922.

The state of Arizona has assumed
its place of Importance in world af-

active part in the progressive move
ment is Mr.. Lee Zinsmeister owner
tof Circle z Ranch.
Mr.. ZinSmeister has devoted a
great deal of his time and energy

acquaintance whose many friends
admire and respect in him those
virtues which inspire confidence and
promote good feeling. His upright
business methods are credit to his

record of service and wish for his
continued success.

Mrs. M. Peterson
ALeading Citizen

Civic leaders too frequently do
not receive the credit they have
won and are entitled to for the time,
effort and energy they have put
forth to guide the destinies Of the
city in which they are active.
It is therefore with real pleasure
that we call our readers attention
to the fine work and the aggressive
leadership of Mrs. Maude Peterson
of Nogales, who is from a family
known over a Iong period Of years
for their outstanding business ac-
tivities in the cattle and ranch
field.
Mrs. Peterson is always willing to
do more than her share in any
worthwhile civic enterprise.
What we may say mere is but a
fraction of the praise she, and such
women as she in Nogales are en-
titled to for their unselfish efforts
On behalf of all of us. And we again
congratulate her for the people of
this city.
Born on Ranch
Mrs Peterson was born on cat
tie ranch in northern Idaho and

Sorrells is now living in Los An

THE WAGES OF CRIME

In government bulletin issued some
time ago, statistics were given covering a
large number of robberies, burglaries and
ordinary thefts, which showed what vari-
Gus classes of criminal acts yielded to their
perpetrators.
1t was shown that the average robber
got only 1886 in the robbery for which
he was convicted. The average burglar
obtained $59.19, while those arrested for
plain larceny got only $29.37.
Commenting on this small average
gain obtained by these classes of GRIM
inals, the Milwaukee Journal asks: why
do men-young men especially-risk long
terms in prison for such trifling amounts?"
Answering its own question, it says: ss'The
reasons are many, but the first reason of
all is that they feel they are too smart to
be caught"
This is perhaps true of many who en-
bark on career of crime, yet if they
would but consider the thousands that are
caught and sent to prison every year they
might feel less sure of themselves. 1t is
true that many do not get caught for quite
a long time, but the habitual criminal al
most always meets capture and punish
ment finally.
Even when one of them succeeds in
evading the law for years, the constant
fear of detection and arrest renders his
existence miserable. Under no circum-
stances does crime ever pay.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1939-09-29
YOU CAN HELP KEY WEST

Every citizen of Key West has an OPP
portunity to promote its development by
making distinct personal contribution to
the community.
This does not require that one be rich,
or even well-to-do. All that is needed is
for the individual to realize that the well
fare of every citizen can be improved as
result of multiplied unselfishness.
We do not advocate, Of course, that
citizen entirely forget self-interest or that
anybody neglect his or her own business
and interests. Volunteering some of your
time, or a little of your money, for public
purpose is entirely compatible with every
demand of absolute individualism.
1t seems to us, at times, that, many
communities fail to accomplish little prof.
ects because they have their eyes on man.
moth undertakings, entirely impractical
under present circumstances. Anything
that adds to the comfort, convenience or
enjoyment of our citizens is worthy of our
activity. There are many such undertake
ings that require little financial support
but can be successfully accomplished by
concerted effort.
We do not attempt to list these enter
prises because each inhabitant has diff
ferent ideas about what is important.
Most worthwhile ideas can gain the sup
port of a substantial group and these
should receive attention. 1t might be
good idea for some of our readers to make
suggestions as to feasible goals for civic
activity during the balance of 1889.
The Citizen will be glad to print
short letters, containing such suggestions.

EXPECTATION OF LIFE

How the average span of human life
has been increased during the last three
centuries is the subject of an interesting
little table in Uncle Sans Almanac for
1889. In the year 1000 it is stated that
the expectation of life for child at birth
was only 20 years; now it is over 60 years.
This almost incredible increase is
naturally due to the advances of medical
and surgical science, and to the many safe
guards to health resulting from better
sanitation. These have been most effec-
tive in reducing deaths during infancy
which in former times were appalling.
Even at the present time in the United
States the mortality rate is more than six
times greater during the first year after
birth than during the second year. Fewest
deaths occur between the ages of 10 and
II. At practically all ages females have
life expectancy longer than males.
The increased expectation of life at
present, as compared with the past, grows
less with advancing age. A person of so
today has little expectancy beyond what
one of that age had % or 80 years ago,
although the expectancy of child at birth
is now nearly 10 years greater than in
1910.
In other words, more people live to
old age nowadays, but the extreme limits
of age have been extended comparatively
little.
