Editor Recorder:—Since my Wortham First State Bank, wag
hl-jacked Thursday night, and
robbed of a pistol, a watch and
ring valued at $50 each, and
about $25 in money. Mr. Davis,
who was returning from Ft.
Worth, on Waco “road, where
h e had accompanied Mrs.
Davis, who is attending a house
party at the lake. He was re-
turning alone, and was stopped
by two men on a bridge be-
tween Wortham and Tehua-
cana, who asked the direction
to Mexia. Arriving at the Wor-
tham and Mexia pike, Mr.
Davis stopped and gave them
directions for going on to
Mexia. It was then that the/
put a pistol in his face * and

Three men were arrested in
Mexia later in the night, but

early childhood it has been my
one ambition to see the Golden
West. See it as Zane Grey, the
writer, describes it. And now
that ambition is being grati-
fied. On the'ldth of July last
year I was married in San
Antonio, Texas, and thus be-
gun my pilgrimage Westward,
Phoenix, Arizona, being my
objective. My route not being
as straight as the crow flies,
led me a bit North of West; the
result Was, I didn’t arrive in
Phoenix until the holidays. I
will nqver forget the night I
landed. So different from the
atmospheric conditions I . had
been living under. The air was
so light, so penetrating I almost
froze before I was tucked away
in bed.
Oh, how wonderful, I
thought, when I awoke the fol-
lowing morning. Such wonder-
ful prospect. Tropical plants
and flowers, birds singing as if
it were spring of the year. ‘
The State of Arizona is de-
lightful as a whole. Its scenic
effects rival Switzerland; in
mineral gifts it ranks among
the first, and farming and fruit
raising are carried on success-
fully. The Writer visited the fol-
lowing famouse spots in Ariz.:
The grand canyon, Roosevelt’s
Dam, the desert and several
mountain resorts.
And now, Bro. Kirgan, I must
tell about Arizona’s game con-
ditions. While it seems strange
“yet It's facts,” the majority of
the game, especially thp feath-
ered. tribe, are found on the
desert. In a radius of 35 miles

me. Although I lost, I tried to
make a clean fight in my race
solely upon'my own merits and
qualifications and not upon the
demerits of either of my oppon-
ents. I bear no ill will toward
those who saw fit to vote

They are much sought for and

For six months I made
Phoenix my headquarters. A
very acceptable city to live in;
quite a few lovely homes here.
McAdoo once owned a winter
home in Phoenix and Roosevelt

know, Phoenix is the capitol

my present home, Northern

taken on my journey further

Real economy in building .lies in the
selection of the best materials at the
best prices. Buying of second grade
materials at a price which appears low
is deceptive and accomplishes only a
temporary saving. The best materials
are best both in wearing appearance
and wearing qualities, and long wear
is what counts in the end.
