The Oldest Newspaper in Cochise County announces one year as single copies at the Tombstone Postoffice with mail matter of the second class.
A proposal envisions preserving Tombstone’s Bird Cage theater as a museum to attract travelers on the Old Spanish Trails and Bankhead routes. The piece recalls the theater’s gritty frontier era with outlaws and showgirls, arguing preservation serves heritage and tourism.
The Douglas Chamber of Commerce and Mines faced criticism for paying travel expenses of a delegation to Tombstone to press supervisors to delay blasting on the Bisbee Tombstone highway until the Bernardino Rodeo link is finished. Editor W P Stewart accused of fabricating theft fears, leaving Douglas cash wasted amid feuds with Bisbee and Tombstone. The piece mocks the chamber as a goat and cites a local saying about fools.
The article argues that despite government efforts, farm families continue moving to cities driven by a desire to mingle with city pleasures and a carefree lifestyle. It warns of an eventual economic and social reaction, possibly within six years, as the shift challenges rural life and family fortunes.
The San Pedro Valley needs advertising in Cochise County and the Grande Chamber of Commerce, with secretary Men F. Coughlin, promotes an information based campaign. Leaders insist truthful messaging will unlock valley potential and boost support for the Charleston dam project among locals.
A dated essay argues that respect for age is a universal virtue reflected in cultures from Hinduism to ancient China. It condemns modern U S practices in schools that drop Sir and Ma am, defending proper submission as essential to character, leadership, and democracy. It laments forgotten manners in a fast modern life.
The readable fragments describe garbled text about thinking, schools, and voice, with unclear context. Named individuals, dates, places, or actions are not discernible. The piece reads like distorted quotes from an industrial setting with no coherent event or outcome.
The piece compares the mind to an idle engine that wastes time in daydreaming rather than thinking. It argues the mind is not automatic but indolent, preferring easy routes, and requires deliberate thinking exercises to develop latent powers, contrasting thinking with loafing and urging deliberate thought.
An old drive for raising funds is abandoned by a great philanthropic organization East. The plan shifts to continuous propaganda via business channels and sport attacks to keep charitable needs before the public and community. The aim is to use methodical, less spectacular methods to attract subscriptions and support large sums for charitable enterprises while reducing corruption.
A Life magazine feature highlights how the American Legion sustains its ideals in daily work. The piece follows O'Brien, a released veteran who, after hardship, is helped by Legion employment officer Stein to find work. The story underscores volunteers’ dedication and community trust in the Legion.
