OAK CREEK ECHOES

MT. Ford, two nephews and neice left for the Pacific coast by way of Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. They were favorably impressed with the country here and may return later to invest here. In all they spent about ten days which was occupied in going over the country and climb ing hills and enjoying them selves in general. They were in many places that old timers never visited in years and were fortunate enough to find ruins that never saw the pale-face before.
 MT. Millette may return in few weeks to spend the summer in the Sedona section of the country.
 MT David Lay has rented his ranch to MT. Lee Van Deren of Clay Park MT. Van Deren was a resident of Sedona last winter when he occupied his house here. He was here to school his children. He sold his ranch at Clay Park to MT Joseph Lay. The house here at Sedona and the Van Deren cattle were all considered in the deal. The purchase price is said to be $15, OOO.OO for the whole proposi- ton. MT. Van Deren will later no doubt purchase a home on the creek.
 MT. David Lay, who rented his place to MT. Van Deren will go on the mountain for few weeks and then will probably take a trip to the coast.
 The Sedona school will be out week from Friday and the children will be turned loose upon the farm then 10 gather in the weeds from the fields of alfalfa and other vege- tables. It is understood that the school in the lower settlement will be out at the same time. It appears that it would be well to have a nice progrm on the last day as they are going to have one in the Red Rock settlement.
 The roundup has begun and among the COW men whose faces seem familiar are: MT. Ira Hart, Frank Owenby IT,, William Loy, Myron Loy, Claude Randall, Fred Hart, Antoni, Chavez, Thomas Chavez, Harry Stephens, and many who were too far away to tell their identity. One bunch will start to the mountains with some of the cattle to-day.

To Dodge Lightning Stroke.

Every year many persons are killed
by lightning because they did not
know what to do In a thunderstorm.
First of all, 1t is safer to be indoors

In a thunderstorm don't be afraid of
sheltering under a tree just because
you have heard that it is dangerous.
It Is dangerous to shelter under a sol
itary tree, because lightning likes to
strike the highest point as a rule for
some distance round. But you are
pretty safe If you take shelter In a
wood. A tree in a wood is seldom
struck. Certain trees are more dan
gerous than others. A far greater
number of oak trees are struck than
beech trees. Elm trees are nearly as
dangerous as oak trees. Avoid big
crowds and collections of animals.
For some reason-presumably the
warmth that rises from their bodies
crowds of animals and persons are
liable to be struck by lightning.

PITY FOR ALL THE WORLD
Lovers Always VIII Feel That None
Can Be So Happy as
They.

We are all pretty we'll agreed, |
think, that whatever days of happi-
ness may come to US In later life,
the most shining days of our girlhood
are those in which love comes first.
No other quite compares with them,
and no other experience of youth COM
pares with this experience.
We are under a kind of spell. We
know that others have loved before.
yet we think it unlikely any have ever
loved quite as we love. We have heard
much about love all our lives. have
speculated about it since our early
teens, have been eavesdropping at love
scenes ever since we were allowed to
read novels or see love plays; yet when
the experience comes to ourselves 1t
comes with a shock Of surprise.
1t is so much more wonderful than
anyone has told US, so much more
beautiful than any one has led us to
believe. So We begin to imagine that
no one has ever loved quite as we
love. 1t is world new-created para
disc, amazing and beautiful and ours
alone. So, even though we try to hide
1t, we go about patronizing the world
at large, and even though we never
speak it we bestow a kind Of pity on
all who are less fortunate in their
love.
Yet, however unique you or I may
believe our particular experience to
be, one fact stands out notable: love
is old as the world is old; not this
form of it nor that, not one particular
experience Of it or another, but love
itself. And of love itself we know
too little, o, far too little, even those
Of US who believe that we love so ex-
ceedingly well!-Anne Bryan Mccall,

motion picture theaters where the
average will bring the business.
These theaters may be slowly de-
creasing in number. but they will
be in a majority for many years
to come. II is the big theater which
must offer something better than
thu average. We have seen the pre-
sentation of motion pictures develop
into a science and here. too. the
line Is sharply drawn between the
average and the line above the
average. The most important fac
tor, however, must always be the
picture itself. No perfume has ever
been invented which will change the
native favor OF the untamed bricr
= into the balmy fragrance of Arabia.
To put IL more prosaically: cheese
will always be cheese, no matter
how prepared and no matter how
preserved.
This brings ua 20 the question:
How strong is the line above the
average? Undoubtedly the pro-
nounced tendency toward the open
market has helped to create a GER
tain supply Of quality above the
average. old conditions favored a
large output OF average films; the
newcomer was bound to offer, or at
least try to offer. something above
the regular average productions
within the organized groups had
been placed on n good working
basis while the new producer had
to fiud his own market amid a
hundred SERIOUS handicaps. These
handicaps could be reduced only by
quality above the average. Quality
will ind a way even in a market
which is exceptionally well covered
and well FENCED in All of which
goes to show that an open or even
a partially open market will favor
and even force quality. Nor can II
