Roosevelt S Round

n, ADOLPH HITLER did not "make Mr.. Roose-
velt look silly in his sarcastic Reichstag speech
replying to the American Presidents peace plea.
Quite the contrary! Anyone who assumes that the
dictator got the best of the argument has not stopped
to think things through.
For instance, Hitler was derisve of Roosevelt s
failure to solve the unemployment problem in Amer
lea, pointed proudly to his success in giving ev-
cry German job.
If the U. S. had many men under arms as MANY
people manufacturing guns and war materials, in
proportion to total population as Germany has un-

shortage. But we are not arming to take anything
away from our neighbors, nor have we any cause to
fear them so our standing army amounts to scarcely
more than corporals guard for dictator. Barba1-

indefinitely on WPA than set them to work making
INT to blow Canada or Mexico off the map
Adoph also sneered at Roosevelt for undertaking
to settle the problems Of the world while his own
country has so many unsolved problems He forgets
that many of problems arise from the unsettled
state OF world trembling in fear Of bandits who

Poppy Day
On May Il

World War veterans of NogaIes
were urged to remember and pay
tribute to their comrades who died
in the war by wearing poppy on
Poppy Day, Saturday, May q, in
an appeal issued yesterday by Les
Mershon, Commander of the Ridge
1go Post of The American Legion
THE poppy is the memorial flower
OF the World War dead, said Com
mander Mershon, land brings back
visions of the poppy-studded fields
OF France and Belgium where so
many of our comrades gave their
lives in the nations service. It is
very fitting that once each year
we should put on poppy to show
that we still remember these dead
and still are devoted to the ideals
for which they gave their lives.
Every World War veteran, of
course, will join with the other pa
triotic citizens in wearing poppy
on Poppy Day and contributing as
generously as his means will afford
to the welfare of those who are
still suffering from the war, the dis
abled veterans, their families and
the families of the dead. The little
red flowers of remembrance will
be offered to us by the women of

Arizona Fax Comments On Bowman
Backing Farley For President

COMMENTING ON Writ G. Bowamn's formal an
nouncement in the Nogales international May 6tE
pledging his support to James A. Farley for Pres
dent Arizona Fax, of Phoenix, said, in part as fol
lows in it's issue Of May 18th:
committeeman Bowman is believed by many
political observers to have the widest influence of
any Democratic party official in the state A resi-
dent Of Arizona for half century, he is said to
have as many personal friends as any other citi-
zen.
"1n 1892, Mr.. Bowman reputedly contributed
$4,000 to the Democratic party, and gave an ad-
ditiona $4,000 for the 1896 campaign These are
said to have been the largest contributions of any
Arizona citizen
Political commentators were quick to leap on
the fact that Mr.. Bowman and his time rival,
Z. E. Addams, have united their wide influences
behind "Big Jim" Farley's candidacy"
Fax, edited by R. D. Richards also said
'When news of Mr.. Bowman's selection reached
Phoenix, Col. William Turnbow, able capitol report
er for the Phoenix Gazette chroncled these two de-
velopments:
: 1.-THE visit Of Farley to Arizona -
"2-An unannounced movement to "lineup"
Arizona's delegation to the party's 1910 conven- +
ton for Farley. This program, the Gazette learn
ed from usually reliable sources is still in the
embryo stage. c. E. Addams of Phoenix, close
friend Of the postmaster general, it was indcat-
ed, would be leader in the plan to get Farley
instructed delegation from Arizona"

students
According to Director Ostlie,
there were ten bands in the B
group. Only two were rated above
the WinSloW musicians.
In the individual competitions,
Arizona earned one superior and
three excellent ratings, James
Bemchimel, tuba soloist from Chlif-
ton, was given the only superior
rating, Franklin Martin, trombon-
ist, and Frank Nelson, clarinetist,
were judged excellent. Dante Iannl,
tenor soloist, was also given an ex'
cellent rating.
The bands trip to the exposition
was financed by the townspeople
of Winslow who raised more than
81 500 to send their boys and girls
to the big meet. Mrs. Agnes Jenk-
ms sponsored the project.
On Friday afternoon, the band
played for an hour in front of the
Arizona exhibit in the Hall OF

Local Girl Earns
Spending Money
Several Ways
Prise Contribution.

One Washington girl makes her
spending money a half dozen differ
ent ways, all of which are profitable
suggestions for girls. Her letter
follows:
Dear Editor: I make my money
by helping friends. A friend of my
mothers had to go on an important
errand one day when she happened
to be ironing. My mother suggested
that I finish the ironing for her as
favor. I did the ironing and her
dinner dishes. too. When she came
back and saw what I had done she
decided to pay me. She told friends
about me and now when they want
somebody to iron, wash dishes, run
errands or watch their children they
always call on me.
Another way have earned spend
ing money is by crocheting pocket
books. Last summer when I went
away made my sister and myself
a school pocketbook for fall. These
were admired and the rest of the
summer I made my spending money
crocheting pocketbooks. When school
reopened in the fall I found myself
making pocketbooks for my class
mates and made enough money for
the rest of the year.
