ATLANTA SCHOOLS
OFFERED FREE. TICKETS

Atlanta. Ca, Jan. 9-The At
lanta board of education has turn
ed down an offer of free tickets to
a motion picture house for every
pupil in the city schools, taking
the ground that this step would
lend the schools to further an ad-
vertising proposition.
The manager of the theater saw
the superintendent, who favored
the plan, learning that the films
would be we'll censored and the
show instructive, but the board
finally turned the offer down. And
now several thousand children are
just waiting to grow up and vote
those men out of office.

DEMONSTRATES COFFEE
 WITH A WHY ID II

Time was when the housewife went down to the corner grocery store and asked for a pound of coffee. She indicated the price she expected to pay and received a package accord ingly. There was no question as to brand, and none as to grade. These were matters entirely up to the groceryman. People then went on the assumption that all coffee was good and some better, all depending upon the price. But that time is past. Today the grocer finds his customers designating the brand and grade of coffee and they must be readyy to supply this demand or the customer goes elsewhere
 Mrs. Etta Clifford Young is con ducting what might be termed a coffee educational campaign. She is making her headquarters this week at the J. w. Doris grocery, First and Washington streets. There she is presiding over a dainty coffee urn and a neat counter. Scores upon scores of tired women, yes and tired men too. yesterday found time and inclination to sip the carefully brewed coffee prepared by Mrs Young, and the same scores upon scores ex- pressed full appreciation of the worth of the product
 We are demonstrating the NJ. J. B. coffee" said Mrs. Young, 'It is a coffee with Why to it, the why being the question often asked after one expresses themself as sat isfid that no coffee could be better And then I have tn opportunity of telling them of the buying of the NJ. J. E. coffee in half million dollar lots. of it's careful selection and grad ing. of the years occupied in curing it and finally roasting and grinding it. I tell them of the process by means of which is removed the husk and the inner caffine sack which IS the undesirable part of the bean. All this is done by process em- ployed only by the M. J. Branden- stein company at the san Francisco plant That's why M. J. B. is the high grade coffee it is
 Mrs Young wants every man and woman in Phoenix to sample the M. I E coffee this week. Next week she will be in Mesa. then in Tempe and then undertake an extensive trip through Northern Arizona

FORMULA FOR NEW AND
 WONDERFUL MOTOR CAR
Martin Mohrdieck Manufactures An Amazing Mote That Will Make Most Men Miss a Meal
 To See It


 Some of the local automobile sAarps who think they can spot the make of any car, the model and the year of it's birth the moment they catch sight of a rdiator cap or the dash will have another guess coming next week when Martin Mohrdieck appears in his new and strictly up-tO-date roadster This roadster has been partially manufactured and partly as sembled at the MOhrdieck machine shop and in several respects will put it all over on any other car in the state, not excepting the Packard TWin-Si
 For motor it is blessed with 9 four r-cylinder device removed forcibly from the remains Of a 1909 Franklin and to which has been attached d double air circulating equipment and an efficient oiI-splash arrangement. The chassis was sWiped from a Ford, or rather from several FOrds, for the front axle is from a Model T. while the rear wheel support is from one of the famous Model N Fords, the kind with the full elliptic springs.
 So that "What-isit' will drive through the rear springs, has three point suspension. and in spite of it's Ford ancestry has a selective gear shift which for simplicity is at the top of the class. The car will have a number of other individual features

PATENT BURIED FOR 25 YEARS CONFIRMS
 TITLE ID HOMESTEAD
Marshall Scott Proves Up on Old Claim and Land Descends by Quit Claim Deeds to Hands
 of E. Childs

In the canning department of the United States land office, many titles to perfectly good Arizona lands, are preserved. The keeping qualities of such goods have never been questioned so. when Hon. Eugene Childs. of Mammoth, Pinal County, Arizona. sought information concern ing the title to a bunch of land he held. he found it intact, and none the worse for it's having remained in the preservative since 1890.
 Marshall scott re-empted home stead duly and according to law, his filing having been made at the |. $. Land Office, Tucson, in 1886. Be fore patent was issued, he sold the tract, giving a quit claim deed.
 Since that time the land has passed through six different owner ships, the instrument in each case being a quit claim deed There had been no occasion to verify the orig inal title to the tract, until MT Childs recently placed the land on the market in connection with quite an extensive real estate deal. The prospective purchasers desired utter safety in their title, so they demand ed the history of that important item
 Register Weedin thumbed over the dusty documents in the files and came upon the Marshall Scott patent, along with hundreds of other patents that never have been distributed. At the risk of having a flood of in ouiries concerning these patents, the amiable colonel explained the entire story to the news getter.

His appearance betokened a stranger and as he gazed intently in a museum window on Central avenue at something labeled beverage the reporter got a hunch that he might be tapped for a news item, and it was a good guess, for the stranger proved to be one of the worlds most noted travellers, ore who has had real honest to goodness adventures in many strange and uncivilized lands. a man whose business for many years has been that of a dealer and col lector of wild animals. freaks, curi- osities and oddities from distant lands for circuses and geological gar dens the man that went with Gen eraI Woolsely's English army into the heart of Zulu land ard brought to civilization the first Zulus ever eX- hibited: was with Gordon in Khar- toom only a few weeks before the Mad Mahdi sacked the city and mur- dered Gordon and the few English soldiers with him, and the real dis coverer of the pigmies away up at the source of the Congo river. but because of sickness was unable to se- cure any of these strange little peo- pie.
