THE GOVERNOR AT SCRANTON

CCRANTON newspapers, reporting
~ the address of Governor
Brumbaugh at the S-hour cele-
bration of the anthracite miners last
Saturday, say he made profound i'm
preston upon the vast audience that
heard him.
The Governor in that speech dwelt
largely upon the conservation of hu-
man life and the problems in human
welfare he has been called upon to
face since his inauguration. The
Brumbaugh administration will be
marked in history for the adoption of
workmen's compensation, continuation
schools and other labor legislation of
a type now regarded as advanced"
and the Governor is always at his
best when discussing educational or
social betterment measures. He has
done much along these lines in the
first year of his admins tration and
there are many who hope that the in
fluences of designing politicians may
not be permitted to. mar that record or
interfere in any way with his un-
finished legislative program.
That the Governor does not regard
hiswork along the line of social welfare
and industrial education as more than
well begun, may be judged from this
paragraph of his Scranton address:
Pennsylvania was the pioneer
State in natural conserva ton in the
reforesting of our mountains, in the
conservation of our water power,
and in setting aside vast reaches of
lands as public parks. for the bene-
tit and enjoyment of all. Let us
now turn just as seriously to the
still greater duty OF conserving
human life. Human conservation
is as vital to a State as the sun
light to the plant. The health of
our people is of the utmost import
ance. Whatever adds to that adds
to the happiness and to the wealth
of our people. The education of
our people not alone to participate
in the duties of citizenship. but to
compete successfully in our great
industrial ii1il5 ti,ta, Ia activities. is like
q. new type of school-the continual
tion school-which links the school
life and the work life of the child
together and adds to the value and
effectiveness of both. Our children
should all be taught to do some use
full thing. to respect the dignity of
labor to know and love this coun-
try, and to acquire deep and abid-
spirit and the God of us all.
Health, ability to labor intelligently
and well, with time for play and re-
creation! In brief. the Governor has
here summed up the essentials of con-
tentment for the masses. Political and
religious freedom we as a people came
by early in our history, but these
other things are not yet wholly ours.
We have caught the vision of them.
We have even laid hold upon their
edges; the Governor has made their
complete attainment the chief effort
of his administration. The object is
big enough to warrant the ruthless
exclusion of any influence likely to in
terfere even in the least with the great
ends in view.

THE LITTLE MAN FROM EGYPT
By Wing Dinger

"The Little Man from Egypt"
Will have to stand a lot
OF blame for crimes committed
For which he's guilty-not.
For instance, my one youngster
Was kept i'm after school
Because, forsooth, he'd broken
Some very rigid rule.
And last night at the table
l took the lad TO task.
young man, why did you do it?'
OF hIm dear dad did ask.
He eyed me for a moment,
And then in tones quite said
He said: THE man from Egypt
Just made me do 1t. dad"

BOUND OVER ID
 SUPERIOR COURT

Willis Azbill and his brother Henry. were both given a hearing before Justice of the Peace, Twitty, here this week and both were bound over to the Superior Court, without bond. The evidence against Willis is much stronger than that against his brother. He was taken into custody with the suit case and some clothes belong ing to the murdered man in his possession.
 Those who were present at the hearing given Willis state that when a revolver which had belong ed to the murdered man and which he had sold to an Indian, was suddenly placed before his eyes together with the axe, with which the killing was done, he nearly tainted and asked for a drink of water.
 The story offered by Willis in explanation of his having the boys. property in his possession, was as follows: 'Henry Thomas left camp one day, carrying three quilts suit case, winchester rifle and six shooter, to walk to Prescott. They intended going ill with all of the goods. but were forced to wait on account of a sick burro. He did not know what had become of the boy. The suitcase which he had in his possession and which MT. Thomas, the father, identified as belonging to his son, together with the clothes it contained, he claimed belonged to him and that he had bought them in Idaho."
 The cases against the two broth CTS will be tried before the next session of the Superior Court at Flagstaff.

W atch Party

Last Friday evening the 800 Club entertained with a watch party at the Parish House. A quiet evening was spent until the stroke of twelve when bed lam suddenly let loose. It devel- oped that each member of the party was armed with some form of instrument of auditory torture and each forthwith played upon his or her instrument. with all the vehemence that may be stor- ed within one individual. The conglomerate sum of the noise awoke the neighborhood to the fact that the New Year was born. After this infant had been fttingly ushered in, a few participated in impromptu danc- ing, to music supplied by MT. Coleman and Mrs. Nordyke.

STARK ELECTED MAYOR,
 KIRKPATRICK COUNCILMAN

At the regular meeting of the town council last Tuesday night, H. M. Stark was elected Mayor to succeed MT. Gilson, and G. B. Kirkpatrick was elected addi- tional councilman to fill the va cancy made by Gilson's resigna- ton. MT. Gilson moved to Oat- man several weeks ago. MT. Stark has served in the capacity of mayor before. His opening speech showed that he is for town improvement. He express ed great satisfaction with the improvement in the streets du"- ing the last year and compli- mented the present Street Super visor, Bobby Burns. One de- cided thing about Kirkpatrick, he has some strong opinions about improvements which the town needs and he will not hesi. tate to express them and work for them. This makes a gooc strong lineup on the council anc the town is sure to go right or improving under their manage ment.

Mrs. DeBold, of the Fray Marcos was hostess to a very pretty holi- day function,-a farewell dinner for Miss Edna Buggeln, who left the following day to pass the re- mainder of the winter in I.os Ang- eles.
 Covers were laid for fifteen
 The ladies were in full evening apparel, especially noticeable was the gown of the hostess, 2 black charmeuse with an overdress of chiffon embroidered in silver. A single red, red rose at the corsage was the only ornament. The guest of honor wore a girlish gown of white crepe de chine-but with little garniture-a bouquet of pink sweet peas completed the toilet.
 The dining room was hung with ropes of smilax, relieved by bunch es of pink carnations.
 The table decorations carried out this delicate color scheme. Upor a rich lace centerpiece stood a vase of rare beauty and value, holding an exquisite collection of carna tions. Ribbon streamers of pinl and white ran from this center tt each guests plate. At the end ot the streamers were tied for the ladies bouquets of pink sweet pea! and for the men buttonairs O. white roses. The guests were pair ed as follows:
 Miss Buggeln and MT. Perrin, Mis- Heating and MT. Tillman, Mis- Munson and MT. Kimball, Mis- Collins and MT. Poison, Miss Peet and MT. Sweeney, Miss Julia Nun son and MT. Darden, Miss Alcorr and MT. Salmon.

ADOPTS OWN DAUGHTER
 AFTER FOURTEEN YEARS

Judge Perkins, of the Superior Court of Coconino County was called to act upon very unusual case Thursday of last week. F. M. Gold representing MT. and Mrs. Riemer of this place, asked that MT. and Mrs. Riemer be al lowed to adopt Mrs. Riemer's own daughter, Miss Nellie Nor enc Smith, of Colorado. The court granted the adoption and Miss Smith became the happy daughter of the Riemer home. Of course Mrs. Riemer was de- lighted to have her own daught- CT back again, and as for Gus, who has been the happiest man in town since his marriage to Mrs. Riemer, the truth seemed too good to believe.
 A little over fourteen years ago, Mrs. Eva Bond, now Mrs. Riemer. was left with several children to provide for. The burden was heavy for her, espec- ially because of the baby, Nellie, only year old. Two kind friends MT. and Mrs. Smith, who had no children of their own, offered to adopt the baby. Mrs. Bond realizing that would mean a bet ter home for Nellie than she her self could offer agreed to this, and the baby became a Smith.
 Mrs. Bond became a trained nurse and worked at her pro- fession until the time of her marriage to MT. Riemer last spring. With a cozy home of her own and with a kind husband amply able to support both herself and her daughter, Mrs. Riemer began to long to have her baby, now a girl of sixteen, back again. Last sum- mer Miss Nellie paid a visit to the Riemer home. MT. Riemer be- came as anxious as Mrs. Riemer to have her stay with them for good.
 In, the meantime, during the fourteen years since Mrs. Bonds baby became Smith, the Stork paid several visits to the Smith home. This was still a good home for Nellie but when MT. and Mrs. Remier asked to re-adopt her for their own home, the Smiths comforted by child ren of their own, felt that it would be best to let Nellie go back to her own mother to make her happy, and gave her con- sent. The court action com pleted the arrangement, and now MT. and Mrs. Riemer boast of the happiest home in town.

Aphold Makes Rich Strike

Henry Aphold shipped ninety five sacks of rich gold ore from his mining claims down at Ajo to the El Paso shelter and has good reasons to believe from previous assays that he will net a good sum from the shipment. The work done by him in a short time while down there has con- vinced him that his claims are rich in the yellow metal. The Ajo district he is certain will be one of the biggest mining cent CTS in the state soon, as any quantity of low grade copper ore is now in sight. Sun
