Ramblin’ Bill And His Family Have Fight Over “Best State” BUI A Tar HeH, Wife A Texan Children Native* Of Two States. Boose Problem. Editor of The Star: Since the Raleigh News Ob server has paid attention to one of my articles and given me prominent mention as a Wandering “NoFth Carolinian” etc.. I have bought a new hat size eight, and oiled up the old Underwood and here goes again. I promised a few weeks ago to write about the insurance agents and todays matl brings me a letter from one right In Shelby who states that he is anxiously waiting for said article ‘‘To see what I have to say about ’em.” Now since receiving his letter, which almost guaranteed me an o'possum for Christmas, about all I shall have to say about in surance men is this: They are a mighty fine bunch of men and en gaged in a wonderfully fine call ing. I do not believe there is a bet ter profession In the world than that of an insurance man. Although some people have had the nerve to call them pests, but during the last few years the insurance men in tlte United States have shown a gigantic increase in their business, which shows that they are doing their stuff. They are always there with the check to pay off the undertaKer, the lawyer the butcher, grocer and what not, and to relieve distress and misery and suffering, and me thinks that when Gabriel sound his mt ihty trumphet that calling together all the good and bad and indifferent that there will be found many in surance men lined up on the right with amlies on their faces, while 666 It • Prescription lor Colds, Grippe, Flu, Dengue, Bilious Fever and Malaria.

Located West Side Victor J Hotel. Hast Graham St. j many bankers and lawyers and pol iticians and other Ilk will be lined up on the left and wearing frown:, of distress. Anyway, I am sure that the Insurance men will not be lined up wtth the Wall street gam blers, nor with the sewing machine agents, nor radio sellers, nor with many others who live by their wits and by the mistakes of others No man yet when he came to tile has had too much Insurance nor have you heard any complaints be cause so and so had a nice little policy when he kicked off. At least not by the beneficiary nor those that were otherwise Interested. In stead of censoring the Insurance man, you should pat him on the back for his calling Is more noble than that of many ministers and doctors, lawyers and he does more good than all the Judges of ah the courts. I certainly cannot afford to soy anything against the Insurance man because I happen to be one of thorn myself, and I think lots of myaeif. Now getting back to the subject of liquor, of which I like to talk and write, and, sometimes, drink This Phoenix liquor would make a canary bird fight a hawk and a rab bit turn on a bull dog. Still every body here. It seems, partake freely of It and the bootleggers are ap parently the most prosperous of the respectable business classes. The prohibition forces, ?hi!e great In number and loud In their boasts, seem to be everywhere but the right place and while they do sometimes by accident stumble onto a bootlegger or manufacturer of tne Illicit conscience destroying flu.d, they do not catch one out a hun dred and It really seems they da not want to catch the big bellows at all. At least, It seems they never do catch any big ones here :n this country. a young icllow nowadays who goes out to call on his best girl ancl docs not carry a hip flask tilled with whatever it is they sell tor booze, is considered a cheap sport, and dead all the way from his belt up to the crown of his hat. And pass around your bottle in any gathering nowadays (that is a gath ering in almost any home) and you ore lucky to even get the bottle back without the neck being bitten off. Maybe Its liquor they sell here in Phoenix, but I think my memory is better than that. If its Jlqiw. well when I lived in North Carolina as best I can remember, it did not taste nor act like it does here. I bought a bottle of the vile stuff last Sunday and offered a drink to everybody that I knew and the only ene that refused was a guy who had Just had his tonsils removed the day previous He did reach for ihe torttle but another guy beat him to I have received eleven formulas for making corn licker and will try them all out In time. They are all different and I will let you know how each one w'orks—that Is If the undertaker does not let you know. It w'lll take about four years to try them all out. There was a big battle at my house in Douglas Just a few days before I came to Phoenix. You see my oldest boy who is 13, was born in Texas, my two girls ages eight and ten respectively were born in North Carolina and my youngest son who is six wt»* born to Arizona. The wife being a Texan herself and me. of course, having been corn somewhere in North Carolina. A dis cussion was brought up as to which was the best state to the union, or course me and my bunch stuck up for ours, the Texans for theirs and little Jackie, who is the lone Ari son ian stuck up for his as best he could. The Missus being part Irish and all Texan lost her temper and started to get careless with frvlne pans, dishes, furniture etc. After i nearly all the household things were I broken up and the police liad been called I become sort of worried for fear there would be a fight. You know it is mighty easy to get a fight started when one bounces a frying pan off one’s dome. ■ If I am so rortunate as to ever become single again and so unfor tunate as to ever get married again, don’t believe that I will look for a wife In Texas. Its a big state and there is lots of wlmmen there and they are very pretty too, but oue of them ought to be enough for one man. (If my wife reads this, there will be Another fight, so send The Star to Phoenix that this appears in, and not to Douglas). * Well good folks I will have to sign off for this evening, as the iadlo announcer says. Will be on the air again next week and up in the air between now and then most of the time, and will tell you another bed time story. With best wishes to The I Star and in case the New York ! World copies any or this, havs them give A1 Smith my regards. Sincerely. RAMBLING) BILL 337 N. 2nd Avenue, Phoenix, Arisons, November 22, 1829. Rash Job. Foreman—"Now hurry up. can't you?" Laborer—“All right boss But Rome wasn't built in a day " Foreman—“No perhaps not. mu 1 wasn't foreman on th»> ioh." Nobody’s Business 11_ Oil Is Not Gold That Glitters. The New York Stock Exchange pulled a Florida spasm two or three weeks ago, but the Federal Reserve now believes the "'binder boys” are gone and pretty soon everything will be pie crust. There ain’t much difference in Bull Snort oil at 435 today'an J a Beach at $45,000,000 in 19 and 25. Bull Snort snorted once or twice during the early part of the year and her shares advanced from 84 to 95 and then it snorted again, and it moved up to 210, and by the time It. was pouring out enough oil to Justify a 3 per cent semi-annual dividend, the boys on the exchange were clamoring for it at 435. The whole country went into the stock gambling business. Two by lours bought what they could pay for by borrowing, stealing, ai:d dodging honest debts, and the other bunch who had credit bought as long as they could mvgin anything. Nlicty-elght per cent of the folks who ‘"invested” didn’t even know that the enterprises they were be coming stockholders in were act ually operating, and the majority of them could not have told a fallow any more about his stocks than a tad pole could have enlightened him on the Einstein theory of relativity, Money for legitimate purposes became high, scarce, hard to get and Impossible. The folks who were afraid to gamble oh the exenings j were not afraid to put their cash in j the hands of the gamblers on call, i and the fun kept a-coming Big men advised against selling Ameri ca short. Earnings meant nothing to anybody as the bubble swelled. Dick bought at 360 and Tom got in at 380 and Harry landed at 400. Then the thing happened that hap pens to all booms of whatsoever kind,—stocks, bonds, real estate or cotton. Too many men got seared at the same time. And before anybody knew whf.t was what—stocks declined about $25,000,000,000.00. That is practically the same amount of money that Uncle Sam loaned Great Britain, Prance, Italy, Belgium and others during the war, and is the thing that is causing so much bitterness between and amongst the nations concerned. Somebody had to pay these stock losses in exactly 24 hoot's, but those foreign countries are asking for 60 years to settle their obligations. Tlie sooner the rich gamblers get all the poor gamblers have so's the fools can go back to work at a more honorable undertaking, the better it will be for our country. We must get down on an Investment oasis and discard our speculative ideju-. When a shower in Texas reduces the price of the American cotton crop $1,000,000,000.00 a day. and the merging of the Ohell Products Co., doubles the value of both stoats on the boards, then It is time for sensi ble people to prick themselves with a pin and ask what has become of our congress.

Don’t Gargle This Doctor’s Prescription Gives Quicker, Better Relief. Don’t suffer the pain and die* comfort of sore throat. Use a doc tor’s prescription called Thoxine guaranteed to relieve with the very first swallow. Gargles and salves are too slow and if they do relieve, it is usually only temporary. Thoxine has a double action—it relieves the soreness and goes direct to the Internal cause. It contains no harmful drugs and is safe and pleasant for the whole fatni'y There is nothing better to stop coughing due to irritated threats. Just ask for Thoxine, put up ready for use in 35c., 60c., and $100 bot tles. Money back if not relieved. Sold by Suttle’s Drug Store and all other Good Drug Stores. adv. Administrator’s Notice.

In case it is necessary to stop a train on a crossing where au tomobiles arc in the habit of skeet ing over same at 75 miles per uour, flagman should be sent up and doAti the public highway for a distant of 500 feet to flag down motorists and inform them politely that Just at that particular moment a railroad train has the crossing blocked, and beg them not to run into the said train. 4. ... In instances where tne highway parallels the railroad, it will be the duty of all engineers to stop their engines immediately when they find that a motorist is racing with them and permit tire racer to speed on and thus avoid tne possibility of a \yreck somewhere or somewhere else near the right-of way of the said transportation com pany. This is most essential if a grade crossing is only a few miles distant down the race track where the motorist will no doubt try to run under the train. 5 . . . When an engineer fajls to hear the horn of a motorist at a grade crossing, and accidentally runs into a limousine loaded with flappers, sake eaters, or other ver min, It shall be the duty of the en gineer to take a flap-jack turner and scrape the remains of the for mer occupants of the said automo mobile from the cow-catcher, wheels trucks, head-lighth, andsoforth, and place the same in a slop jar and immediately despatch tile contents thereof to the parents of the unfor tunate human beings thusly killed, accompanied in all cases by a letter of condolence stgned by the presi dent of the road and a bunch of tube roses paid for by the section foreman 6. ... It shall be the duty of the courts at all times to award the heirs and assigns, and all other per sons whomsoever lawfully claiming kinship to the descased, large mone tary judgments against railroads for the unlawful killing of persons who try to beat trains across the cross ings, as all such murders could be prevented by the proper flagging of highway crossings.
