FAIR INDIAN MAID
 IS FULLY PREPARED

Fearing competition during the first rush of the leap year, native daugh- ter appeared before the marriage li- cense clerk at Phoenix and secured a license, stating that she did not know whether there would be wedding, but that she was willing.
 The young woman, who gave her age as 30, is Jokigia Kia, a pretty Apache, who says that she has been married before and is willing to try it again. The man of her choice is Frank Nipple, 32, member of the same tribe. Both live at Fort Me. Dowell. Jokigia went to the court house unaccompanied and waited five hours for an interpreter. She said that she was very anxious to marry Frank, but was not at all sure that he would accept her. She is an unusually attractive Indian and wears quantities of blue and white beads about her throat and arms. Navajo jewelry is also worn by the would-be bride, who affects the bright colors popular with her race.

ASHURST TO RETIRE WHEN
 TERM EXPIRES, FRIENDS SAY

That Hon. Henry F. Ashurst, United States senator, will not be candi- date for reelection in 1922, but will retire from the senate and open a law office in Phoenix, is generally under stood among his friend around here.
 The fact that he is contemplating retiring to private life was brought out by his declaration for amend ments to the peace treaty. Ashurst's friends say that he was not consider ing 1922 when he made this declara- tion, but trying to get in tune with the views of the large majority of his constituents, although forced to revise his own views, previously expressed. In other words, they say that he was not playing politics, but merely doing what he was sent to Washington to do-that is, to represent his constitu- ents.
 It is known that Senator Ashurst is a poor man, speaking by present-day standards, and desires to return to private life in order to build up com potency for his old age, something he can not do if he remains in the sen ate. In politics, he had gone about as high as he can hope to go, and, hav- ing served two terms in the United States senate, he feels that he had about all the honor there is in the position and being we'll known, is now assured of success in the law prac- tice.

LAZELLE SMITH WAS
 IN FAMOUS REGIMENT

Sergt. Lazelle Smith returned home from overseas service Sunday, aftef more than fourteen months of foreign service. Sergt. Smith volunteered in the army immediately after war was declared in April, 1917. He was then in his senior year at the Normal school in Flagstaff.
 While overseas, Sergt. Smith was a member of the machine gun company of the 38th Infantry, officially known as "The Rock of the Marne" regiment. This regiment is the one chiefly re- sponsible for stopping the enemy in their last great offensive on the Marne River near Chateau Thierry on July 15, 1918. This is the only regi- ment in the A. E. F. mentioned by Gen. Pershing in his official report to the war department. Sergt. Smith wears four stars on his Victory rib bon as an indication of his participa- tion in four of the major operations of the American army. When the ar mistice was signed he "hiked with Dickman to the Rhine" and was a member of the army of occupation for some eight months.-The Snowflake Herald.

To confer with the attorney general of New Mexico and federal officials of the department of justice of that state and Colorado, Thomas Flynn, United States district attorney for Arizona, is on his way to Santa Fe, N. M.
 Enforcement of the federal statute against sale of narcotics to persons addicted to the drug habit, with a special reference to the recent deci- sions of the United States supreme court will be the subject of the con- ference. Under the provisions of the law as interpreted by the supreme court, no sales of drugs may be made on prescription of a physician to per sons addicted to the use of drugs un- less the person for whom the prescrip- tion is issued is taking treatment for the drug habit in an institution for that purpose. Possible utilization of various state institutions for the care and treatment of sufferers from the drug habit is another subject that will be taken up at the conference.

SAYS WILSON GOT
 MILLION IN GIFTS
 WHEN IN EUROPE

Senator Bois Penrose, Republican, of Pennsylvania, declared in the sen ate recently that President Wilson and his party brought back from the Paris peace conference jewels and other gifts from crowned heads" which, he had been told, were worth more than $1 100000 by customs authorities.
 Interrupting speech by Senator Ashurst, Democrat, of Arizona, who said that in 1910 it had been proposed to prohibit acceptance of gifts from foreign rulers by the president, Sena- tor Penrose asked if the Arizona sen ator had in mind gifts made to Presi- dent Wilson in Europe.
 q know nothing of that" Senator Ashurst replied. "But if any Demo- crat accepted such gifts he would re- ceive my condemnation as quickly as if he were a Republican"

ANARCHISTS ARRESTED
 BY FEDERAL OFFICERS

The most important capture in the history of the sheriff's office at Cliff ton, under the administration of Sher- if Slaughter, was made this week when in company with federal officers, a raid was made on an anarchist group with headquarters in Morenci, and three of the leaders landed in jail, together with basket full of anar- chistic literature, constitution and by laws, correspondence, etc.
 Outside of the sheriff's office there probably was not one citizen in a thousand who had any knowledge of the existence of a thriving anarchistic group in this district who held secret meetings, initiated new members, and was constantly in correspondence with other anarchistic groups in different cities both east and west.-The Copper Era.

INDIAN ARTIST PORTRAITS
 GRAND CANYONS GRANDEUR

One of the most ambitious attempts to portray the grandeur of the Grand Canyon made in late years is that of Lone Wolf, the Indian painter, who brought his canvas to the office of J. c. Kinney, in Tucson last Tuesday and met an appropriate patron in MT. Kinney.
 The picture was painted from a point miles from Fl Tovar, and gives depth of perspective not found in the usual attempts at the Grand Can yon. The peaks of the vast chasm seem to be swathed in the purple mist of the afternoon, while the sunshine strikes through the multifold cloud forms, touching here and there the rugged sides with their strikingly col cred erosions.

This, the commission states, can not be legally done.

In Reach of All

Don't make the mistake of judging MOUNT ELDEN HEIGHTS by the price now asked for this property. It is true lots in less desirable locations are selling for as much--or more than in this addition, and we were indeed fortunate in securing such a remarkably low price from MT. Bab- bitt, and attractive terms that enable everybody to own property.
 No longer need man or woman buy lot simply for its "close-in" loca- tion. Today the development of a city is measured, not by it's massive business buildings and busy streets, but by the growth of it's residential self, the prominence of the district, it's commanding view, and it's moderate distance from downtown"

TOO TOLERANT,

AMERICA and Americans have
been too tolerant of those elements
from abroad which seek to undermine
our nation. In St. Louis this week an
alien, speaking in German to a meet
ing of aliens urged the overthrow Of
the United States government. Only
seven of the ffty-six persons present
were citizens of this country.
No other country noe the sun
would be as tolerant as this. That we
have allowed such conditions to exist
100 long is evident from the general
activity throughout the nation along
Chis line.
Such abuses of the privilege of free
speech should be halted at once and
those guilty % it deportcd. This IS no
time to parley o. discuss. Give the
~agitators a dose of direct action 50
they will understand Americans do
not intend to temporize with such
traitors.

In her native city of Paris, Mrs.
Stewart was in business for herself,
selling handmade laces and embroid-
cries, some of which were imported
from Spain. She was educated in one
of the best French schools, but stop
ped when she was IS years old to go
into business. During the last year
of the war her trade was not very
flourishing because of the difficulty
there was in getting imported mater
ials. Many of the things she had on
hand at the time of her marriage she
brought with her.
Mrs. Stewart has a mother and two
sisters living near Paris. Her mother
is 6S years old, and one sister is 20,
the other ten years older than herself.

old. One of her brother-in-law was

for a dressed turkey she delivered to

lieved to have been a record price,
at least the highest Mrs. Willett ever
received. Farm wives say that tur-
keys are harder to raise than any
other fowl. If they get wet feet when
they are young they invariably die,
Saving so per cent of a hatch is re-
garded by them as an unusually good
record. Kingdom turkeys are now
being primed for the Thanksgiving
and Christmas markets, and, judging
from the price, the demand is unus-
ually heavy.

double what Wonder Buster brought

Mexico can boast of a French "a

was then in the United States Army,
sailed for home. They had planned,
Mrs. Stewart said, to be married last
November, but Capt. Stewart was or
dered to Germany and was not given
a leave before being sent. She met
him through a girl friend of hers who
persuaded her to give her services to
some American soldiers who were try
ing to learn something of the French
language. While Capt. Stewart was
in a hospital she visited him every day

THE discovery of an organized Red
plot to destroy the government of the
United States and create a condition
in this country similar to that now
existing in Russia through a general
strike puts the matter up to labor
leaders in this country. They should
make every effort to eliminate the
radical element in their organizations
for the good of the country as well
as the Unions. The Senate investisa-
ting committee Of the steel strike con-
ditions places blame on both operators
and EMPLOYEES but stresses the radical
element as being one of themaln reas-

I'M P o r T A N T
TO SUBSCRIBERS
A FEW QUESTIONS.

THE next time you are discussing
or considering the high costs of liv-
ing you might figure W to the
following questions. This will give
you something of an idea how simple
the question Of adjusting present liv-
ing conditions is:
/. Does every increase in wages
and salaries in order to meet the pres
ent scale of prices tend to produce a
still higher scale of prices?
2. If so, does every such increase
in wages and salaries tend to increase
the hardships Of the present high cost
of living for those who are chiefly de-
pendent upon fixed Incomes?
8. In view of the fact that wages
for some lines of work have increased
relatively more than the remuneration
for others and that as a matter Of or
binary justice the same relative pos
ition should be maintained for all,
should we attempt
a. To raise the lowest wages and
salaries to the relative level Of the
highest? or
b. To lower the higher to the level
of the lower? or
c. To raise some and lower others
to a common mean?
d. Should we accept the present
scale of prices and try to adjust our
selves to it, or should our main effort
be to find ways of bringing prices
down?
