WOULD HELP THE BOYS UNTIL THEY ARE ABLE
 TO BUY CITIZENS CLOTHES

"The most lonesome few weeks of my life," said Col s. B. Gilliland the other day, "were the days when first came home from the civil war, and 1 can readily understand how difficult it is for a young man just out of his company, to adjust himself to the change. A great many of the boys are coming home different than we did in '65, that is, we came by regi- ments and they are coming from many different directions and differ ent organizations, singly and in squads, sailors and all other branches of the service. But we were given big banquets and received many at tentions that helpd us to eventually get back into civilian duds and com mence where we had left off.
 q believe that the people of Flag staff should arrange for meeting of all men who have been in the service, at monster meeting where due hon ors may be given the boys and show them that their work was appreciated in full measure-whether they hap pened to get to France or not; the main thing is that they were willing to go wherever sent and they went out with the full purpose of doing every thing that was required of them. II may be better to wait for time un- ltil most of the boys are at home again, but I hope the patriotic peo- pie will remember at the proper time
 eff there is one movement more than another that I heartily favor, il ] is the building of monument for the boys who will never come home. We have been lavish with our billions in many of the spectacular ways of war but we can never pay the debt we owe the boys who helped to shake the very foundation of the earth, and who proved to waiting world that Amer ica is ever ready to fight in just cause"
 Col. Gilliland is not in favor of too much "charity" and the things which tend to make the boys coming home feel foolish, but does believe that in- stead of Fireworks" there should be a committee of business men of stand ing, men who do things and are will ing to do things, selected for the pur- pose of handling all cases where the returning soldier needs help in "find- ing" himself again, as it were. There is room enough yet in this big coun- try for all hands, all that is needed is some proper direction for the time be- ling-at least until they are able to get back to work and buy civilian clothes in order that they may send their discarded uniforms back.

TOM MIX WILL
 MIX PICTURE HERE

Flagstaff is again to be the scene of the making of several moving pie lures. Last year the Fox Film com pany sent one of their companies here headed by William Farnum, and made several pictures, among which was Zane Gray's Riders of the Purple Sage,," shown at the Orpheum this week. Evidently the conditions were pleasing to this producing company, for MT. Tom Mix and his own com pany will soon be busy on some Fox productions.
 Last Tuesday, Secretary A. A. Johnston of the board of trade, re- ceived the following self-explanatory telegram. ,...
 Hollywood, Cal,
 Feb. 3, 1919. Sec. Chamber of Commerce,
 Flagstaff, Ariz.
 Mir. Tom Mix will arrive in Flag staff Tuesday night or Wednesday morning for purpose of making ar engagements for production of several pictures around Flagstaff. Any cour- tesy you may extend him will be greatly appreciated.
 S. M. WURTZEL,
 General Superintendent Fox
 Film Studios.
 In reply Mr. Johnston sent the fol- lowing:
 "Glad to extend Tom Mix any possl- ble assistance. Conditions poor now with two feet snow. Suggest post ponement later date"
 The answer from Mir. Wurtzel reads:
 Received your telegram. Thanks for your prompt answer. We want snow for our pictures. Tom Mix will arrive in Flagstaff as previously wired you"
 MT. Mix and his wife arrived Tuesday evening and are registered at the Commercial hotel. Pres ident L. c. Riley of the board of trade called on him the same night and discovering that MT. Mix was an Elk, the two journeyed to the local lodge rooms, where great things were going on. An enjoyable evening was spent there and later MT. Mix dis closed something of his plans.
 Mir. Geoge Timberlake, of the Unit ed States employment service, was gotten in touch with and gave the as- surance that all the labor needed in the production of the several pictures could be supplied locally. Mir. Mix was sufficiently pleased with all con- ditions here, including that of labor, and he immediately wired his techni- cal man at Hollywood to start the sup porting company for Flagstaff at once. They will in all probability reach here about Monday.
 MT. Mix and his company will prob ably be here about three weeks, it having been estimated that it would take about that long to complete the work. The company will consist of approximately forty people and the work will necessitate the use of a great many horses. The work laid out for them here calls for snow and scenery typical of the far north and Mir. Mix is pleased with conditions very much.
 MT. and Mrs. Mix, according to those who have talked with them, give an impression that is pleasing and lasting. Contrary to the popular opinion of some of the stars, justi- fled in some cases, the personal pro- noun is almost entirely absent in their conversation. They give the inn pression of people, competent in their chosen work, going about it with a zest and a pride in it, and seemingly unaware of the renown and popularity which is justly theirs.

JOHN COSTIGAN, JR,

A very sad and deeply felt loss came Wednesday morning at five o'clock in the death of John Costigan Jr., son of J. J. Costigan of the Or pheum theatre. The little fellow was five and half years old and had not been in good health for some time Following the death of a sister of the same age about year ago, and oi Mrs. Costigan few months ago, the passing of the boy brings sorrow tc the father and other relatives that is hard to bear. The entire community and The Sun, extend sincere, heart. felt sympathy to the family in theii bereavement.
 Funeral services were held this morning at the Catholic church Father Vabre officiating. Interment was in the city cemetery.
 ENCOURAGING TO SHEEP MEN From good authority in Boston comes a word of encouragement tc the sheepmen of the state. It states that in all likelihood, when the present domestic wool shipments reachs the eastern markets there will be nc further public auctions of government owned wool. There is not, either among merchants or at the mills more than normal supply of wool The wool at present held by the gov. ernment would in ordinary times be distributed among the mills, who have not on hand a sufficient supply fo, the future. These facts, coupled with the shortage in civilian clothing needs spell a good price and a good season for the wool growers of the country
