DEAR JOE:

DLlEA4A 0N4As
Maybe you will be surprised ia
get this letter from me, especially AZ
am not inclosing that SO. that you
say l owe you, and that ! say ! can
not remember borrowing from you
that day We met in St Louis. OF
course, ! could say that I remem
bered II perfectly, but ! am not one
Of these here now chaps that put
down things like that on a piece OF
paper that such a chap like you what
runs around with lawyers would be
able TO show me later.
But did not write you this letter
to tell you about that ten spot, but
about q movie what ] seen this week
at a theayter IN Wash, d. c. what
was called Daddy Long Legs" Now
don't make a mistake and think that
this here picture was q story about a
bug that noEly professors and people
from the Smithsonian Institute. what
I went 10 see the other day, would
understand.
The reason how l happened to go
see il was that l was standing in
front OF the theayter, and I see a
guy coming what claims that / owe
him 500 which I don't and never did,
and the only way that / could dodge
him and not have to hit him and
maybe hurt him for making a wise
cral.k about the double sawbuck was
to go into the movie, thinking that
I would come right out again.
But after / had been watching il
for a few minutes ! found out that il
was not about bugs at all. but about
an orphan kid what was in a home,
where she had to do all the work for
the young kids, and get nothing but
cuffs for doing IL by an old dame

what looked like my hrst mother-in-
law.
And there was a pup that got put
under the table BY drinking hard
cider; OF course it was probably not
hard cider, being only a movie. but
was probably cold tea or something
Anyway the two kids and the purp
drank the near cider. and then
got 2 bun on. And the purp
walked around just the way you used
TO do before the first of July. and as
you probably do now when you can
graft a drink of one OF your friends
Which is not to be taken personal
by you, but just as a illustration Of
how the dog acted.
But that was not the only thing in
the picture ataIl. The little orphan
gets sent to a book factory, which
is not a place where they make book 5
as you might think, being only a
bookie, and not knowing nothing
about education. but a place where
they teach out OF books, and she falls
in love with the plute that sent her
there, and who is a long legged guy
which she calls Daddy Long Legs,
which is why the picture got it's
name. But Of course she marries
him, and he does her, which he would
not have if he had three wives the
way ! have had.
But the little girl was played by
this here now Curly-headed chicken
Mary Pickford. and she is such a
peach that believe me, / would take
a chance marrying her myself. even
with my experience. Now don't write
and ask me for that ten which ] do
not owe you, but when that fiilum
comes TO st. Louis go and see 1t.
Yours as you think / am.

FLOODS AND COLD
 D0N I HALT JOY IF
 STANDARD O|L BALL

Floods, bliszards and cold more re- sembling Kansas than sunny Arizona all combined were unable to prevent A crowd which just comfortably filled the hall from attending the second Standard oil dance at the Woman,s club on Friday night. This dance was the second of a series to be given by the Standard Oil companys employees this season.
 The hall was decorated with flaming polnsettias and scarlet carnations grouped in baskets of greenery. The Iioor was in excellent condition, and with music jazzful and poppy by Fer gusons orchestra the dance was in- oeed a success. Delicious punch was on tap for the thirsty ones and in spite Of the coolness of the evening the punch bowl proved to be a popular spot.
 All arrangements, including the pro- auction and printing of the invitation cards and programs were in the hands of capable committee consisting of Teresa Kehoe, Florence Sutherland. Grace Gibson, Ed Thomas. J. L. Mitchell, George N. Keller and D. C. Wilson, of the Standard Oil organiza. ton, and to their efforts was due the smoothness and efficiency with which the entire affair was handled
 invitations were issued to nearly 100 outside individuals, marking a de. parture from the procedure of the first Standard Oil dance, which was exclusively Standarc oil affair. The third dance of the series will be an- nounced in the near future.

MYSTERIOUS PARCEL SENT BY LANDER ID
 TAX COMMISSIONERS

A consignment of oil, zinc and lead, one cigar, nine cigarettes and a one cent box of matches, was received yes- terday by the Arizona tax commission from c. M. Zander, chairman of the commission, attending the American Mining congress at St. Louis.
 Concerning the oil, in a small flask, Zander writes on a calling card:
 Sample of oil from shale in which there is no oil; twenty billions barrels in Colorado alone. I saw shale go into the retort and oil come out. That proves the twenty billions. Sample goes 50 gallons of crude oil to the ton."
 This freak box contained a grant, lated specimen of lead and one of zinc from Oklahoma, both in one small cylindrical bottle, with tag stating the production in 1918 of these ores in Oklahoma was s16,742,O 900, claiming the greatest production in the world. The cigar was just a cigar and will have to be cut up into several pieces in order to go around. The matches look like any other matches, but they came from St. Louis and were made in Sweden" The consensus of opinion of those who have examined them is that they will strike fire. thus doing away with flints and the rubbing of wood for friction-the former custom in St. Louis. The nine cigarettes smell like burning rags and sulphur mixed, the most popular cigarette smoked in St. Louis.
 Zander attended the congress upon invitation of the president to talk upon mine taxation.
