Presiding Elder Owenby has spent

The campaign will be conducted both
in the United States and Canada,
and the goal for both countries is

this will be spent in missionary work
in the war-ridden parts of Europe,
while the remaining amount will be
spent in home missions" he conclud'

HOT HEALTH HINTS

We have carefully perused Editor Chapman s "health hints for hot hours," in the Winsow Mai and, while we have most courteous de- sire not to bust bump on his sore bunion, we desire to also call attention to the fact that the best way to keep cool is to keep out of warm places; do not eat heavy meals when it is cer- tain you will have to hurry past the cafe cashier and crockery war in lieu of payment thereof. Rest in the heat of the day-also the rest If you have paid for your Overcoat, take it off oc- casionally; if the thermometer registers "Nee- dies, July" take it off twice. It may be wearing on the overcoat, but this may be taken up by your red flannel underwear-wool won't burn if there is plenty of moisture underneath. Look out for ptomaine poisoning and wash your feet frequently. What gets our pajamas twisted is when Chap advises to take all food slowly" That might be all right in Winslow, but these durned grocerymen in Flagstaff will catch you at it every time; if you get away with anything here you've got to snatch it while they are not looking, and run-and they're hot if you get away with it. Rising early and doing your heavy work before noon," is all right too, in ways up until the day man comes on here-so, what's the advantage when neither of them are friendly? Getting plenty of sleep in the open air" is more reasonable. It saves room rent, and your clothes rents help out. This may ex- pose your -er, financial candition but during this spasm of high cost of living, when it is so hard to make both ends meet it is hard to tell which is which. Aside from that, many man has frozen at the 32nd degree, while the good work was going on at 118 Phoenix time. Also, when man gets all het up trying to keep cool, he should reverse. Of course, this is "take off, weather; but we much prefer it to the put on'' of some people who seem to be just temporarily passing this way, thought they really expect to remain.

ARIZONA BEATS THE WORLD

The Peoria Enterprise is entitled to thanks from Flagstaff for the editorial reproduced else where in The Sun. In a real "get-together" proposition, Arizona beats the world for all-the- year-round scenery, climate, and opportunities financial or otherwise. We old timers do not fully appreciate the magnitude of our wonders or our wealth. Arizona, properly assimilated, even grows brains along with lungs. People come here without either and get both. The average eastern idea is that we have an over- Whelming crop of hell, gila monsters, cactus, and desert, when as matter of fact, east to west, north to south, Arizona presents diversity of conditions so wide that it practically covers the whole world for heat and cold, wealth and scen- ery-God's strong men, and women all their equals. It is true, we poke fun at each other about the "shirt-sleeve weather at Yuma and Phoenix, and they moan back as to the "over- coat crop" up north; but we all grab hands on the big main game when some misguided son-of- back-east endeavors to prove there is anything superior to Arizona back where he comes from.

Andy had been captain in the National Guard, private secretary to Congressman Carl Hayden, state senator; but when he went into this mans army he didn't claim a commission because of his in- fuence, nor did he make any grandstand plays He went in to fight and knew that private would get fighting quicker than an officer He came out sergeant because he earned it by hard work Shake, Andy.

MIGHTY HARD CHOOSING
My Dear MT. Breen:

My Dear MT. Breen:
 You certainly "said something" when you called attention to the dsgraceful Flagstaff cem- eteries and to it's absurd railroad station. It's as hard to choose between them as between drinks since the thirst" The best that may be said is that one might live through a winters night in the cemetery; but one couldn't possibly last that long inside the railroad station. On the other hand, daylight in some of the Flagstaff cemeteries reveals the salient features of Villa ista battlefield, or seaport junk shop while the Flagstaff station, when the sun is out, is com paratively tame, since the railroad patrons can stay out with Brother Sun, and for the time being take the clothespins off their noses.
 Sincerely,

SOME REASONS FOR H. c. L.

It will not be long before the people will wake up to the fact that if they want any food stuffs they will have to get down on their bend ed knees to the "big five" packers-Swift & Co.,, Armour & Co.,, Wilson & Co.,, Morris & Co.,, and the Cudahy Co. The Federal Trade Commission reports that they own and control some 762 companies and deal in over 775 commodities, mainly foodstuffs. Making the price on what they buy and making the price on what they sell is very splendid little game and they seldom lose any money under that system. Even the government does not seem to be able to get any action on them, so cunningly have they covered up the trail leading to their trade secrets and methods of doing business. Instead of govern trolling the government. Elsewhere in The Sun will be found an interesting report made by the Federal Trades Commission to President Wilson

The fact that Flagstaff needs more accommo-

The fact that Flagstaff needs more accommo- dations for visitors was thoroughly demonstrat- ed during the Fourth of July celebration. The city was comfortably crowded before the cele- bration days and was completely swamped dur ing the rest of the week. Many people were kept away from Flagstaff because they were advised there would be no accommodations for them. A celebration always crowds, of course; but, even under ordinary conditions there are few, if any, houses or rooms to rent in any season of the year. While it is mighty healthy condition, it would be much better if all those who wish to come here could be take care of comfortably.

Hank Ford's million dollar suit against the Chicago Tribune hasn't been all that he could wish. Evidence in the case tends to prove that Ford's "great philanthropy" wasn't hardly skin deep; but it was great sport making the people believe he was giving it all to the workingman year or two and make the people believe the working man got it all. An outfit struggling for living has hard time to convince em- ployees sometimes that. they are keeping the game going with hopes of eventually pulling out without going broke.

SERVICE MEN

That there will be many -impostors wearing the uniform and bilking the public is a foregone conclusion but the "real' men who were con- scientious in their work for Uncle Sam, need not their plans and in organizing the American Le- zion. There were some three or four million men taken into the American army in its differ ent departments and it is only to be expected that there were many mongrels mixed in, as there is in every organization of mankind. The American Legion will help to weed them out and prevent imposition on the public. It will take some time to find out just who is who; but they will be found and it will be great joy to the real service men to see they get their just deserts It is better to let few guilty get away than to turn down worthy man.

The luxury tax passed by the last Democratic Congress is not in the least popular even among Democrats who are strong in their belief that a Democratic congress or president can't do wrong. They are now asking a Republican Congress to repeal this law along with other mistakes their party has made in pestering the people with penny offerings. The last years of a Democratic administration have made the South mighty prosperous, and there are many Democratic brethren beginning to see the light.

While the text of the peace treaty has been religiously kept from Congress, it seems that many copies of the text have been received by favored parties in New York and other Eastern cities. The senate is much wrought up over this leakage in the diplomatic circles and are eagerly demanding to know why they are kept in the dark by the president while private individuals are taken into confidence. It does look trifle queer.

Arizona is undoubtedly the most generous state in the Union, but when the state legislature voted unanimously to grant Adjutant General Harris leave of absence to help General Foch out, they must have overlooked a return ticket. Generals Foch, Pershing and our own half Baker-ed were worried for months about what Arizona would do in the great crisis; but when the legislature offered to turn Harris loose well, we all know where the Kaiser and his sons landed immediately.

State Game Warden Prochaska has issued an edict against fishing on Upper Oak Creek, and as far down as the Falls. This order is to be in force from July 15 to July 1, 1920. He claims that this section of the creek should be allowed to rest up and permit the breeding of trout to properly replenish the stream. While this will put stop to the sport there for year, it will have the affect of making fishing permanent when it is opened again.
