Fourth Of F. \. A. Business

Federal Housing Administrator
Stewart Mcdonald today announced
that national banks and mortgage
companies continued to account for
about half Of the amount of home
mortgages accepted for insurance by
the F. H. A. during the first quar-
ter of 1910.
OF the gross amount of $l57,925,-
473 of mortgages accepted for in
surance during the first three
months of 1910, national banks
originated $39,883,131, or 25.3 per
cent, and mortgage companies $685.
223, 700, or 242 per cent. This COM
pares with 25.7 and 23.4 per cent,
respectively, for the IL months of
1889.

State banks and trust companies
accounted for $32, ,744.60O, or 20.7

Harder Finish
Paint Almost
Scuffproof

A new type penetrating wood
finish, which Is harder wearing,
almost scunproof, easier to apply
and doesn't require removal before
refinishing, has been introduced by
one Of the largest paint-making
companies.
This finish, made with oils and
new synthetic resins, differs from
the old type in that 1t penetrates
the wood and becomes . part Of 1t,
binding the wood hbers together in
stead Of forming . surface coating.
At the same time 1t waterproofs the
wood. It has been found suitable
for new wood floors, woodwork, cab
inets and paneling.
Tests show that scratches, which
badly mar old-type finishes, leave
this new product unharmed and
that the new finish is undamaged
by a hammer blow that may dent
the wood itself. This should be
a great help In refinishing floors
that are used constantly and yet
must be cared for easily and regu-
larly.

setting sun of a typical western day
All OF these experiences, and many
more too numerous to catalog, explain
the appeal and the growth OF the dude
ranch vacation.
Then there are days designated as
mot riding" days. Dudes usually dress
In the inevitable blue jeans, shirts and
sneakers. They play horseshoes, tennis,
and take snapshots or movies Of the
cowboys and the ranch animals.
Many Things Offered
Some like to go out and try their
luck at shooting coyote or prairie
dog, while others will follow the ranch
crew as they repair bitches, dig post
holes or pile up the hay for winter
feed. Others win leap into the ranch
wagon and ride to neighboring ranches
on errands, or to the ranger station to
get cement or blocks Of salt for the
horses.
Dudes never seem to tire of looking
for moose or deer or going fishing.
Swimming, getting the inevitable sun
tan, assisting in fish planting and other
activities that usually find plenty Of
enthusiastic followers.
Picnic suppers away from the ranch
in the early cool hours of the evening,
possibly a moonlight ride after sup
per with singing and stories, these form
the nucleus of other ranch experiences
which long hold tender spot in the
vacationiSt'S memory book.
Special events at nearly every dude
ranch include a costume ball, in which
the guests participate and prizes are
offered for the best personifications of
famous pioneers and guides. A motion
picture taken on the ranch in which
the guests are also q part is usually
compiled and the showing presents Oc-
casion for a gala evening Of fun and
to watch the Indians at their handi-
work and craftsmanship are also in
cluded
While every ranch offers a great va
riety of experiences, some stress pio-
neer days, Indian history, geological,
archaeological and botanical features
while others stress cattle roundups, cor
raj exhibitions, ranch activity and the
rodeo.
Most dude ranches are operated by
the owner r-rancher and his wife. They
have from 20 or more helpers to care
for as many as 100 guests at one time
on some of the larger ranches and
there are many tasks and details to
check on every day to keep them all
busy.
Something should be said of the dude
ranch operator himself. What kind of
man is he and just what do his guests
expect of him?
The words of Wyoming dude ranch
owner best tell the story. A dude ranch
er this man said, "is as diplomatic as
a night club owner, as kindly as
father, firm and far-sighted as a prime
and as intelligent and under
standing as a dean of personal rela-
tions. He is doctor, nurse, fireman, po-
liceman, detective, game warden, vet
erinarian as well as an expert on fish,
botany, zoology and geology. And, too.

LIFE OF A DUDE
IS HARD TO BEAT
PROGRAM FOR VISITORS CALLS
FOR LOTS OF OUTDOOR
FROLICS

What happens when a dude" or
"dudine" comes TO Montana for a
vacation? What do they do? What
sort of recreation do they get for
their money? These and many
other questions have been asked
even by MOntanans who, for all
their bOaSted western knowledge,
don't get far enough away from a
city to really know what goes on on
the dude spreads. In fact, lot of
us often are embarrassed when our
eastern friends write and want TO
know.
To supply the knowledge of the good
times the dudes really have, to give d
ready reference for the home folks or
to give the reader something accurate
to send to inquiring friends Is the pur-
pose of this article.
OF course. the dude gets up early
and slows away a substantial break
fast, Salted with fresh pine air.
There follows a mad scramble to the
corral where your horse has been set
aside. Cowboys assist in Saddling and
getting everyone set. Within a few
the long awaited and much
discussed trip is under way.
Three or four hours of fast, contin-
uous riding up slide rock trail to the
glacier country, or perhaps over the
rolling prairie through sagebrush to
the higher mesa country after stray
cattle or horses, makes everyone hun
CRY. Lunch is prepared beside lake
or stream and following the repast, the
riders relax under trees or IN the
shade of huge boulders which have
rested in these spots undiSturbed
through many centuries.
These rides are often reWarding for
those interested in observing the west
ern wild life. The country abounds in
small animals such as squirrels, birds,
beavers, woodchucks, conyS,
and Jennings. There is al
ways the possibility, too, of seeing q
weasel, otter, marten, black bear, bob
cat, mountain lion, mountain sheep,
grizzlies, deer. both the mule and white
tail, elk, antelope, depending upon the
time of day and the season of the
year, as well as the particular char
lcter of the country.
Many dudes show considerable in
5erest in the geological formations OF
the land, and Montana and Wyoming
are often regarded as ''geol-
0gist's paradise" because nearly every
type of formation can be found in the

until it shone. His white waistcoat
was spotless and he carried his big
tail high in the air that it might
not become soiled. Reddy was feel

have liked to sing, but every time
he tried his voice cracked and he
was afraid that some one would
hear him and laugh at him. If

Looking out of Unc' Billy's doorway

West opened his fourth-best club
(his natural lead). Dummy's jack
won and declarer then took a spade
flnesse, which was captured by
Vests queen. If at this point West
had shifted to diamond, East would
have ducked, allowing declarer to
win the first diamond trick. West
could then obtain the lead with the
heart ace, play his other diamond
and East could then run off the
rest of the suit.
However, as the hand was played,
West led the club queen. East dis
carded the nine of diamonds and
South won. South played a heart,
which West ducked. The king of
hearts was played. South discarded
a small club and West won with
the ace.
West should now have led anoth-
er club, in which event South, hav-
ing to lead from his own hand
would have lost all three of his dia-
monds. But West now made a be-
lated shift to diamonds-the right
play at the wrong time. East was
now helpless, for if he cashed his
other top diamond, declarer's queen
would be good. AS a last resort
East led a small spade and when
South, taking full advantage, played
low, dummy's nine won the trick.
Dummy's high heart was now played
and South was able to run of
enough tricks in clubs and spades
to fulfill his contract.

Arizona S Loss

WHEN death claimed Michael E. Cassidy at Pasa-
dena. one of Arizona leading citizens passed on
but his memory will long remain with those who
knew him.
For Mike Cassidy contributed much toward the
upbuildng of this state Prominent in civic life in
the Bisbee district for many years, he never forgot
his acouaintances here after he left to reside in Phoe
nix He frequently came back on visits and was new
er in too big hurry to stop and shake hands with
those in all walks of life-for his friendships extend
ed into all channels
With fine educational background he came to
America from Ireland and after coming to this coun-
try he served it with as much loyalty and devotion
any of it's native sons.
Two years after his arrival in America he joined
the Illinois National Guard to do his share In the ma
tons defense When the Spanish-American War
came along he went into active service and was I'M
medately commissioned captain.
After that war he came to Bisbee to live and IN
1906 was appointed by President Taft postmaster
here A member of the Bisbee Elks lodge during his
in MANY community undertakings He was pronin-
ent in the local council Of Knights of Columbus lodge
and served at one time as Grand Knight Because OF
his earnest efforts, he was placed numerous com
nttees to work for the betterment of the community
and he shrked any Of the tasks laid before him.
After leaving Bisbee and settling at Phoenix, ne
held various other important positions In 1857 ne
was named receiver for the Arizona Edison Com
PAW and performed one of the finest jobs of his
career in the capacity.
Interested in our democratic form of government
he was staunch Republican and devoted much eff
fort for it's benefit He held several appointive posi-
tons and served honestly and we'll.

An Annual Plant
A shortage of pickers has become an annual plain
"A among the cotton growers Of Arizona

A shortage of pickers has become an annual plant
among the cotton growers of Arizona.
The trouble is, as every one knows, not shortage
of workers but of wages.
Cotton picking is a last resort of workers. Be-
cause of the minute earnings possible most of them
take to the cotton fields only when other employ
ment can be found. They stay only until some other
job opens Some prefer to be on relief
Somehow, the idea never seems to occur to the we'll
organized cotton growers to offer a half cent or
cent more pound for picking cotton in order to at
tract workers, and to hold them. Instead they adj
vertse in other states for pickers seek to have
cipiens thrown off the relief rolls, and bellyache
Why should men-and women-pick cotton, or con-
tinue the back breaking work, when practically ev
cry other kind Of work offers better pay?
When cotton growers recognize that their indus
try is competitive with other lines of employment in
the labor market, and meet that competitions which
they can, by paying prices that will enable the work
ers to earn decent living, they will suddenly find
their picker shortage is at end.-(Miam Silver

Have you heard this one-and the
answer is YES. On every hand we
hear Arizonans saying, Its all
right to get the tourists out here,
but what is there to entertain them
with while they are here?" We also
have tourists themselves say to- us,
What can I do and where can go
to keep busy and see interesting
things?" When an Arizonan asks
the above question, it is a sign he
has not been thinking or is lazily
repeating something he has heard
someone else say. A visitor, being
stranger, is asking natural
question.
From a selfish standpoint we, in
Arizona, would first of all like to
keep winter visitors or summer va
cationists in our respective commu-
mites as long ais possible and next
best, within the borders of Arizona.
AS far as the visitor or vacatlonist
is concerned, our endeavorS to keep
him here are really to his advant-
age because he will have an oppor-
tunity to longer enjoy our wonder
full climate while seeing sights both
natural and man-made that exist
no where else.
The following is not intended to
be an all inclusive list and because
OF the season, emphasizes mostly
points in southern Arizona, how
ever, it is easy to imagine that a
winter visitor would find plenty OF
variety and endless entertainment
