JOHN W. FRANCIS DECIDES TO.
 RUN FOR COUNTY SUPERVISOR

John W. Francis announces this week that he will be a candidate for the nomination on the democratic ticket for the office of supervisor.

Francis has been a resident of Flagstaff so long that it is only the very oldest inhabitant who remembers when he came; in any event it was when the town had just commenced to answer readily to it's name. He has been prominent in the official and bus. mess affairs of the town and county and has always been on the side ol progress in any undertaking that tend. ed to help build up.
 He was one of the original gooC roads boosters from the inception oi the good roads movement, has beer consistent in working for the better. ment of the highways and has a gooC working knowledge of making goot roads.
 Mir. Francis declares himself for ar honest administration of the affairs ot the county as well as for economical expenditure of the peoples money; fol a progressive policy in developing all parts of the county alike and square deal to all.
 His numerous friends are confident that he will be one of the democratic nominees and will stand high among those chosen at the election in Novem. ber.

IMPROVED PRAIRIE DOG
 POISON PERFECTED

A new prairie dog and gopher pois- on has recently been perfected which means thousands of dollars to the farmers and stockmen of Arizona, ac- cording to D. A. Gilchrist, who rep resents the U. s. biological survey and the University of Arizona in the direction of the statewide rodent pest campaign. The new poison was com pounded by s. E. Piper, of the survey, and was developed into practical TO- dent poison in correct proportions by MT. Piper and Gilchrist only recently when it was carefully tested for the first time near the Harlow Yeager ranch south of Flagstaff. The new poison is far ahead of anything used heretofore, dead dogs being found at the rate of 25 per each quart used on average range areas. It also proved to- be very effective when used in green fields of alfalfa, wheat, oats and barley, fully 95 per cent of the rodent being killed with one treat ment.
 On July 2 the use of few quarts at the Fred Caring ranch resulted in 107 dead dogs being found on top of the ground. Matt Black, Floyd Cope land, G. w. Terrell, J. J. Dooby and Dr. V. M. Slipher also report splendid results with the poison.
 County Agricultural Agent F. A. Chisholm and MT. Gilchrist will CO., operate with the Coconino Farm Blu reau in distributing four quarts to ev- cry farmer in the county. The new poison is so deadly that only one-half as much need be used as the prepara- tions used heretofore. N
 The poison will be prepared frSm materials furnished by the county board of supervisors, the state of Ar izona, through the university, and the U. s. biological survey.
 Farmers are urged to call at Room 4, Masonic building and secure their allotment.

 "His family are an asset to the community"

 MT. Powers said Wednesday regard ing the appointment of Dr. McMullen
 "The board preferred a man with scholarship, administrative and execu. tive ability, rather than one with ar excess of scholarship, but lacking ir othCl wv dttliDuttS per haps, lacking also in human sympathy and good fellowship"
 Dr. and Mrs. J. O. Creager will leave soon for Tucson, where Dr. Creager becomes head of the educa. tional department of the state univers. ity. He is highly gratified with the appointment of Dr. McMullen as his successor.
 pr. Creager, remaining in the state will continue to be strong asset foi the Normal school to the growth and standing of which his rare abilities have contributed so much. The sad ness occasioned by his resignation caused by his and Mrs. Creager's de- sire to locate in an altitude more suit able to the health of their young son will be tempered by the feeling that a successor has been found in every way suited to carry on the work.

NEW WATER POWER BILL
 IMPORTANT TO WEST

The new water power bill passed by congress and signed by the president means wonderful changes in western industries.
 It means that five transcontinental railroads would move passenger and freight trains at greater speed and less expense.
 It would mean building great fac tories in all western states and saving of freight on manufactured goods now shipped from the east.
 It would mean cheaper power fol farmers and fruit growers with which to put water on arid lands on a scale that is now impossible.
 But all these great possibilities fol the west depend on the interpretation of the law by the national comuissior that executes the law.
 The rules and regulations that arc adopted to put into operation the prac' tical details of the new water powe, law should be plain and simple and not difficult to comply with.
The Coconino sun., 1920-08-06
NEW PRESIDENT OF NORMAL

has several ranches in North Dakota.
 Mrs. McMullen, charming, hand some, talented, will also be an ac- quisition to society here and to the school. In Greeley, she is president of the Consolidated Women's club, though she has lived there only one year, and in Valley City, N. D., was president of the Civic Improvement association and did juvenile court work. She is of Quaker stock, the daughter of Eli F. Brown, pioneer ed ucational institute instructor and text book author.
 Here are some of the pertinent things said of Dr. McMullen by vari- ous educational authorities inter- viewed by Mir. Powers, and quoted here to show the mans versatility:
 Not a desk president"
 His philosophy in life is essential ly constructive. Believes it duty to know the school, community and state as whole"
 Meets people on common ground; no false dignity"
 Stands for live social life and rec reational life among the young peo- ple."
 "Wide musical experience in direct ing glee clubs, choirs, getting up com- ic operas and the like"
 "Wide experience in the handling of athletics. Helped organize and was manager for two years of the Indiana Interscholastic Athletic association and first president of the Indianapolis Tennis association; was regarded as one of the three best tennis players in Indiana. Loves baseball, handball, camping, fishing, hunting"
 His understanding of the hearts and motives of children is truly re- markable."
 Thoroughly up-to-date and pro- gressive educator, with strong bal ance of common sense, and with the initiative and industry to put through
