PERSONAL INTERVIEWS
By Dubeliu Dubellu Tee

words of praise to be said in praise of Flagstaff. Every resident of this city should feel it incumbent upon himself to say some laudatory words to the stranger guests. Words of praise judiciously spoken would be effective. Do not let strangers take things for granted"
 LENoRE FRANCIS, Supt. Public Schools Mary's little lamb and it's desire for higher education would be more acceptable to teachers in the public schools than are several dogs belonging to pupils who daily attend our institutions of learning. They have followed their respective Marys and Jacks into the school room and made the children laugh and play to such an extent that the city officials have taken the necessary measure to partially eliminate them.
 W. W. T.-"Following the example of other cub reporters, we beg to of fer the services of this column to this community, subject, of course, to the Boss o. k. Any time fusillade of rimes or paragraphs is required we have only to be wigwagged."
 s. L. FINLEY, Mayor-"Every resident of Flagstaff owes, as duty to the community, personal influence and effort to bring about the carrying of the sewer bond issue for the ad- vaneement of the city. The good of all should be the concern of all. Every one should have keen interest in all public improvements that are for the public good"
 Coming to See and Conquer
 An, the naivete of Youth! The years of ingratiating ingenuousness, "where the weather is fair" and ones cravat must be of the proper hue and just the right slant!
 Which is to say that local busi- ness man (name withheld) has re- ceived letter--or, rather, two letters in one-from a young man in the east announcing that he is coming to Flagstaff, with the idea of getting a position here in gents furnishings D Is the weather fair out there? he asks, and closes with "hoping to keep up this correspondence with you"
 Charmed as this merchant was with the letter proper, he fairly capitulated before the supplementary epistle en- closed with it. "Please hand this let ter to some young fellow about 20 years old, as want someone to show me around when l get there and would like to have them write me all about the place.
 "P. S.-Give this to some NEAT fellow, please"
 To the nearest youth who claims the privilege we will reveal the identi- ty of the gents furnishings" con- quistador and award the role of philo- sopher and guide out here "where the weather's fair"
 S. L. FINLEY, Original Advertiser "The man who is too slow to tell
 About the goods he has to sell, Doesn't make the shiny, gleamy dol
 Like the man whose advertising
 hollers."
 D. S. HIBBEN, Regular boarder at the Confection Den-T have just re- ceived information from a friend of mine at Harvard in which he has dis covered way to cut down the high cost of kissing. It is easier than roll ing off log and much more pleasant. "First select girl then bet her dol lar that you can kiss her without touching her. (This sounds impos- sible and will appeal to her sporting blood,) Next kiss her and pay the dollar like good loser. Who wins"
 Joe Wilson, Banker--"When I was sitting on our front porch last Sum day afternoon, my litle boy pulled some junk out of his pockets and a dime rolled out and got lost under the porch.
 After a short search the kid gave up looking for it and remarked: "What's a Dime anyway"
 It sort of aroused my ire, because I've had to hustle for my dimes-and then some. a.
 "A Dime, son." answered, "is 10c. It stands for years interst on $2.O0 at 5 per cent-which is a principal sum you don't have in your jeans at the present time. Put Dime in Bank for 30 days and you will have the in- terest on $60 at the same rate--which said principal sum you've never been able to scrape together to save your youthful neck. Save it up for year at the rate of Dime day and you'll have $36.50 which is the interest upon s730.00 at 5 per cent.
