The Censorship Question

AS the censorship CT moving pictures
has been discussed considerably in
Bookings the past few weeks and al
together by an element who represent
but II side of the question, it occurs
to us that it is about time for the
ably sixty per cent of our people at
tend picture shows and We believe
that no one will deny that they are
as good a class Of citizens as we have.
With these fundamentals established
we hurry to the point:
During the two weeks commencing
Monday, March 2, vi patrons will re-
ceive slips with the following ques-
tions printed thereon:
DO YOU BELIEVE THAT THE
PICTURES SHOWN AT THE PLEAS.

DO YOU FEEL THAT you ARE
COMPETENT TO JUDGE WHAT IS
GOOD FOR YOU AND YOUR FAM.

TO DELEGATE THIS DUTY TO

We have no particular motive in
asking these questions other than an
honest desire to get a line on the gen
eral sentiment Of the people. We have
ito grievance with so-called censorship
committed; they have on the whole
treated us very fairly and decently.
particularly the chairman, Rev. Rob-
erts. but as we have said. they repre-
sent but one side of the matter. The

the desirability Of an honest express

part of last week to make their home
here. They have rented the farm just
southwest of town, recently vacated
by A. Verhey. The people of this CON-

Private Albert Bullock, who is sta

lima, arrived home last Wednesday
evening upon a short visit to the home
of his father, Rev. William Bullock.
Albert looks fine and army life has
agreed with him, but like all other
boys. now that the war is over, he will
be glad TO be discharged so that he
can again take up the affairs of civilian
life. His furlough Is for fifteen days
and he win be obliged to leave for
camp the latter part Of this week.

For two years we have followed Sir
Hugh through his varying moods. He
had at first conventional acceptance
of the war which gave place to a
superb disgust with all that he saw
in the politics Of his country. He be-
came mildly pro-German but turned
back to the cause of the Allies as the
lesser evil. Then came the final con
clusion that there would have to be
something different from the old,
dead world and that the change could
only be accomplished by revolution.
In all of this we are helped by a con-
scientious objector who suffers peri
Odically imprisonment for his beliefs.
As for Sir Hugh, he is not crushed by
a great grief as was Mr.. Drifting, and
so he cannot be uplfted. The process
of slow torture is used upon him-the
hardening of his wife's spirit by her
enthusiasm for the war, the killing of
youth in the spirit and the breaking
Of the body of his son, and the dis
tortion of the morals and ideals of his
daughters. Sir Hugh is charming
and lovable, but we never feel sorry
for him. He is more a voice than a
person, and who, pray, feels sorry

We now approach the erux of the
nOvel-the inner Shrine-the women.
Whatever the war has done for Eng
land. whether it has been wholly evil
in effect or the necessary purge that
the dreamers claim, it has served Mr..
George a good turn. To borrow his
own phrase, some safety pin has been
pulled out and the emotions of the
women have begun to race beyond
their government. This suits Mr..
George exceedingly well. He has
been able to tear down the women
and remould them nearer to his
heart s desire, if not to ours. He uses
his own pattern in preference to
Gods, and he doesn't play by the
rules. The war may have hashed
women up pretty badly, but the result
is not quite so depraved as this book
would lead one to believe. Admitting
that the casualties have been heavy,
we still contend that it would have
been fairer had we been allowed one
good and generous woman. Surely in
all the panorama of war time England
one might have been discovered who
was neither entirely besstly nor yet
entirely spineless. The nearest ap-
preach is a creature of whom the best
that can be said is that she resembled
Kallikrates.

Just as the English have always
outdOne us in political novels, they
are now outdoing us in war novels
which are largely political. Our pol
tiles do not fit nicely into novels. They
lack atmosphere, perhaps because we
are so young. Being young in the
war as well and far away, we arc at
a distinct disadvantage We could
no more have produced Blind Alley
than we could have produced Counter
Attack. After all, SassoOn and George
are fighting for the same end. They
are both aggressive pacifsts, although
Sassoon fought and George tried to
) but wasn't allowed, and they are
; doing what they can to remove the
glamour from our memories of the
war. Every argument put forward
by Mr.. George has this in view.
He thinks this war mo tournament
but an international bargain sale, "
its armies marionettes upon string
twitched by excess profteers," and
the only hope of civilization, Wilson.
Therefore, Wilson having been over
ridden by Americas dream of DOM
nation, he believes that the solution
is world revolution. Stephen Oakley,
son of Sir Hugh, writes from the
front after the death of a friend,
"Quin s gone. Doesn't matter if it s
heaven or hell, it II be an improve
ment. Damn the world! hope to
have a hand in blowing it up when

Looking about him in January,
1919, at the close of the novel, Sir
Hugh saw that what looked like an
open road was in reality blind alley.
He found blind alley everywhere
"Blind alley in the debt, so enormous
that it could not be paid; blind alley
in the chaos of the churches, whose

 After Ash Fork is reached good roads are encountered with the exception of one sharp and quite long hill between Ash Fork and Williams which, during rainy weather is unusually slippery and practically unnegotiable under the cars own power. The balance of the roads to Flagstaff. are highways which are graded and bedded with cinders. In going to the canyon, it is advisable to take the road from Williams to the canyon, which is shorter than via Flagstaff. and much better. However, if the Flagstaff road is dry, it offers much more scenic beauties, and is perhaps one of the most scenic trips in the state. Campers should take provisions from either Williams or Flagstaff, as there aIe no stores at the canyon.

NEW TIRE FIRM
 WILL MAKE |TS
 DEBUT MONDAY
The H. and w. Rubber Com pany Will Open Its Doors On West Washington St. Tomorrow-Plans Quan- tity Merchandising

The H: & W. Rubber company, a new tire concern that promises real bar gains in automobile tires and tubes, is the firm name of a wholesale and retail automobile tire organization that will open it's doors to the public tomor- row morning. Headquarters of the company are at 311 West Washington street.
 After careful study and long experi- ence in the tire business, heads of the new company have selected the Penn sylvania Vacuum Cup and Bar Circle cord and fabric tires as well as the kokomo Long Life and the 'Tyrian Red.' They will handle these tires in Maricopa county and the state.
 All of the above mentioned tires are the product of companies of long ex- perience and recognized ability as tire builders, companies having splendid regulations wherever their products are handled.
 As g special feature. the H. X W. Rubber company will specialize on Bar Circle cord tire in the Ford size at $l2.65, retail price. Another big feature will be the Kokomo non-skid 3oxsk at $20. The first mentioned tire, Bar Circle cord, has a factory guarantee of $500 miles, and the lat ter the Kokomo non skid, has a fac tory guarantee of 5000 miles.
 Volume merchandising is the plan of the new firm and on which it will depend. Profits have been reduced to the very lowest margin in the hopes that by volume merchandising I pro gressing institution can ha builded.
 The men behind the new company are experienced tire men and they know the business from beginning to end. They know how to build tires and. likewise, know how tires are builded.
 Prior to selecting tires for their company, they investisated practically all of the leading makes and made the selections above, believing. even convinced, that these tires will give better service per dollar than any others.

SHY CLEAR IF CHINO VALLEY WARNS LOCAL
 OLDSMOb|LE DEALER

If the motorist, in search of a camp ing trip at this time of the year is desirous of escaping considerable grief in the form of mud ana rain, he had better drive shy of Chino valley, which is low, flat country between Prescott and Ash Fork. This is the advice of a Ferguson -keeler salesman, who has just returned from srip which carried him through the northern part of the state. The run included Prescott, via the Black Canyon road Flagstaff, the Grand Canyon, Stoneman's lake and Camp Verde.
 The joys of motoring were sadly depleted, according to the Oldsmobile salesman, who made the run in an eight-cylinder model. He repeatedly had to help distressed motorists from mud holes and streams and more than once was on the verge of getting mired ir the gumbo himself. Through the Cedar forests en route to Stone mans lake, the mud was exceedingly heavy, it having rainsd for nearly 20 days without cessation prior to his start. Fishing at Stoneman's lake. he reports, is excellent, the small fish biting almost as faSt as one can throw in his hook. He advises that these fish be totally skinned before toting in order 10 make tenn palatable.
 During last week total of 100 cars were counted tied up in the Chino val ley at one time, and each car was helpless to assist the other. In some instances, food and drinking water be- came at a premium as some of the motorists were mired in the mud as long as four days at stretch. If it were not for the unusual power in low gear and the light lead of the Olds, it would have become lined up with the balance of the unfortunates more

NOX- -ALL Is TIRE
 PATCH WITH MERIT

Nox-All. a non-heat vulcanizer that is different is being introduced in Phoe- nix and Arizona by R. A. Edwards and L. Dean. These men have established headquarters at 100 East Adams street, at the corner of First street.
 NoxAll is a guarantee tube patcher, a composition that adheres to the tube without heat or any form of glue. It is applied cold and it is guaranteed to remain. A NoxAll cannot be torn loose, is the claim of the local representa- tives.
 When applied, it has the appearance of the ordinary patch but with use it gradually vulcanizes itself and ulti mately becomes a part of the tire. On applying it immediately vulcanizes it. self on the edges. An attempt to>tear the patch looe results in tearing the tire it is explained.
 Some remarkable demonstrations have been made with Nox-All, it is stated In the San Joaquin valley, for instance, stage in operation there found that it had purchased a S4-inch tire instead of a 37-inch. A quantity of NoxAll was used and the 34- inch tire immediately became 37-inch tire. Another instance of the usefulness of Nox-AIl was made apparent when a Ford tire was cut squarely in two. Nox-All remedies the matter in few minutes.

 The Peerless starter is constructed from drop forged steel, the hardest metal known. It can be installed in any Ford in 45 minutes, it is stated The cost price is s1850.
 It has 10-inch pull and requires just one-half the strength to start that is necessary to crank the average Ford car. No alterations are necessary to install this starter. Not a part is re- moved or altered, the Peerless starter being merely an added part to the car
