DUNBAR-CRON|N CASE
 HEARD BY JUDGE STANFORD
Court Announces Decision Will Be
 Rendered On Friday

Arguments in the case of Dunbar against Cronin for the possession of the office of a state librarian were heard before Judge Stanford yester- day and announcement was made from the bench that a decision would be rendered on Friday morning. The plaintiff was represented by Judge -Kibbey and the defendant by former Attorney General Bullard.
 The contention of Judge Kibbey was based largely on the fact that at the time of the designation by the legislature of Cronin for the of flee of librarian. no vacancy existed. The bill creating the office carried with it the appointment of the de- fendant The plaintiffs appointment was made by the board of curators.
 Judge Bullard relied upon the fact that there was nothing in the con- stitution of Arizona inhibiting such action as the legislature had taken and he presented a mass of citations in support of his view.
 There was no other business be- fore the court. The jury was drawn and the trial of jury cases will be begun today.

KEEPING THINGS NEAT
By Walt Mason

You plant a rosebush by your door and morning glories three or four; you now the lawn when whiskers green upon it's countenance are seen; you take the dead cats to the dump and fix the fence and paint the pump, and trim the figtree and the vine, and make the doorknOb fairly shine. And neighbors who have gone to seed, whose lots are grown to grass and weed, will soon or late observe your game, and feel a burn ing sense of shame. They'll say, That fellows place so neat, is quite the smoothest on the street; it makes ours look like also-rans, so we'll adopt that smarty's plans, and prove to him that other jays can well de- serve the public praise" I've seen a neighborhood that lay all ragged gone to brush and hay, brace up and bloom to beat the band, because some pilgrim, tools in hand, cleaned up his lawn and pruned his trees, and ought some flowers and bumblebees Thus good examples spur the souls of men who've craWled into their holes, content to let the whole world slide, the tail connected with the hide.
