THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN, SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE 22, 1919
PAGE NINE
WINS S5 FOR GIVING
E MOTHER
UKES diET BEST
Recently tliere was conducted a con
tent, limited to the grammar grade boys
and gils. In which a prize was offered
of $.1 for the best 50-word reason "Why
raotlicr likes Calumet best."
Through The Republican there was
received a large number of replies. In
asmuch as they were written exclusive
ly by children, the judges took into
consideration that to a certain extent
grammatical construction and spelling
should not have prime weight in the
, decision.
The first prize was awafded to Hazel
Bradhhaw, R. V. D. No. 4, Phoenix. Her
reasons were as follows:
'Makes lightest, most appetizing,
( wholesome, digestable, nutritious, hak
ing of bread, cakes, etc. Dependable
' and uniform, sweet and lure. Econom
ical and healthful. Quality high grade.
Never have bad luck. Savin;; or time."
There were marry veij- interestiiiff
essays that in many cases would have
been seriously considered had they not
exceeded 50 words. One that was of
merit, by virtue of its presentation of
an actual incident was by Martha
Langston, 757 East Pierce street. Little
Martha says:
"This is an incident which actually
hanninfl in nnr hnmft. I am eleven
!-naro nld on.l 1 i 'ft in PhrttfniY We take
the Arizona Republican paper and that
is how I saw your advertisement." Her
reply was:
' 1 ran around in queenly state.
And knocked the oven off the plate
In. which was Mother's Calumet cake.
Mother ran to see if it fell.
But there it was standing up swell.
That is why1 as I choose to state.
Mother uses Calumet Baking Jowder
for her cake."
Another reply of interest was that of
little Bonitta Stewart of 1149 East Mc
Kinley street, but she had too many
words. Her reasons were as follows:
"It said to tell you why mother irked
the Calumet Baking Powder the best. I
don't know just why only I guess it's
because she makes such good cakes
and things with it. I know once my
grandpa come to see us and he eat lots
of cakes, lots more than me or my sis
ter did and mother said why Dad yon
will be sick eating so much cake and
he said, Well I never tasted such good
cake in all my life and grandpa is awful
old and he must have tasted lots of
cakes, but when he said that one moth
er made was the best he ever did eat, I
think that says a whole lot for Calumet j
Baking Powder, cause I know she usd I
that. She don't never get any other i
kind." i
Among the answers received besides I
a large number from Phoenix were a
number from Hillside, Glendale, Ray,
lempe, Mesa, Gilbert and Roosevelt.
The $5 prize has been sent to Hazel
Bradshaw.

"gob" as used in the American navy?
F. R. G.
A. The theory of the origin of this
term which seems most probably cor
rect is that it comes from the Chinese

failed, and decided to experiment with
it for chewing. Four years from that

ple in its manufacture.

approximately $700,000,000 a year, on a

al debt but would reduce it more than !
a billion dollars a year. I

toward the street.

most any other animal, thus admitting
more light The cat uses jts whisker
as feelers in the dark. Its surefooted
ness is a great help to it. So it gets
along better in the dark than most ani-
mals. The belief that it can see by ;
night as well as by day is, however, 1
erroneous.

Q. Is it true that the moon has any
influence on the gTowth of crops?
V. H.
A. The department of agriculture
informs us that scientists are now
convinced that the moon has absolutely
no influence on the growth of crops.
Q. Is whiskey the proper medicine
for snakebite? E. C. D.
A. The reptile expert of the national
museum says that drinking whiskey
when bitten by a rattlesnake decreases
the likelihood of recovery by putting
an extra load on the heart.
Q. Is it true that another man than
Alexander Graham Bell discovered the
principle of the telephone? A. K.
A. Yes. Dr. Bell took out his patent
in the forenoon and in the afternoon of
the same day a man from North Caro
lina made ap01icatiori for patents Cov
ering the same idea.
Q. Is a balance of trade between
the United States and other countries
necessary? P. G. A.
A. Yes. If the United States sells
extensively to a Riven country and
does not buy from it, that country soon
has to pay a premium on American ex
change. Italy, for instance, has been
finding it necessary to draw a draft
for $150 on New York that she might
buy $100 worth of goods. This is be
cause Italy has been buying heavily
from us but selling lightly to us. Nat
urally she will go to some country
that is buying from her and thus keep
ing exchange balanced. So will the
United States- lose the trade of tin
countries to which she sells but from
which she does not buy. '
