JAMES CLARK SURRENDERS
 TO SHERIFF FOR OLD CRIME
(From Wednesdays Daiiy)

Walking into the sheriff's office at } o'clock yesterday afternoon, a rag gcd-looking stranger approached the grating and asked in q disconsO Olate voice for the boss. He wore a wcather-beatcn, soft felt hat, that struggled to shade the "I-should- worry expression on his face and his coat was torn at the shoulder
 What long series of mishaps could have made him feel so uneasy, i: was hard to imagine But Don QuiNOte had nothing on this strangef as it appeared when he. stated his business.
 My names James M. Clark" he said, "an' I'm wanted in Aberdeen for beatin' guy wit a club"
 Undershcriff Ed Bowers, who had come forward to hear his tale of woe, invited MT. Clark to step in side. Which he did, as one who, after long journey, at last comes home
 Further questioning revealed that the stranger had shaken tine dust of Aberdeen, Wash. from his heels, while out on bond on a charge of aggravated assault. Weary of wan dering, it is supposed, or perhaps troubled by an uneasy conscience, he drifted into the sheriff's office and gave himself up.
 That Clark was not starved into such a step was evidenced by the fact that among his belongings put away for safe keeping by Under sheriff Bowers were 17 perfectly good dollars in United States money.
 He was shown upstairs to one of Charley Bradbury's best guest cham bcrs, while Bowers wired the au- thorities at Aberdeen of CIark's last, QuiXOtic step.

 Merchants Of Prescott today win begin cashing merrys scolorcd Christ mas savings fund checks, mailed yesterday by Harry Colvig, cashier ol the Commercial Trust and Say ingS bank, to members of that in- Stltution's Christmas club Every check will be found to bear the like ness of St. Nicholas rolling a huge snowfall, indicative of the growing qualities Of both snowbails and thrift funds.
 One of the most successful seas ons in the history of the club thus comes to a close and many people will spend many thousands of dol lars they might otherwise hayc dribblcd out ill bits during the year The fund this year was smaller than the record year, on account of the influenza inroads at the time the beginnings were being laid
 On December E thc next years club will be started by the Commcr- cial Trust and Savings bank. with the idea that this time a new record will be established both for numbc1 oi depositors and amount of thelr deposits.
 The widest variety is allowed de- positors. Clubs can be made at the rate of from 10 cents to S5 8 week, or, they can be handled in incrcas- ing and decreasing ratios, begin ming with one amount and winding up with the other, or vice versa. Al the end of the year, the entire amount of the deposits and the in tcrest thereon at a rate that works out slightly better than the regular savings account rate Of 4 per cent, is paid LN cLeck 1n tLe smLscrLh.r.

TALL OIL TANKS TO
 BE ERECTED HERE
(From Wednesdays Daily)

Prescott is due for two new sky Scrapcrs, to be erected in a novel manner. Work will be commenced today with a crew pulling the new cloud-cutters into place with block and tackle. In a word. two new tanks with a capacity of 21.000 gal Ions each today will be raised into position at the local Standard Oil branch.
 The new tanks. similar to others being installed at Flagstaff, Hol- brook and Williams, are vertical in stead of horizontal, and the job of placing them will be a ticklish one They will increase the capacity of the Prescott plant to 100000 gal Ions. So Prescott auto users need not fear another gasoline famine like last years.
 Forty new tanks are being erected at various Standard Oil plants in the state, among which are a 45,OOO gal lon capacity tank at Clarkdale and one at Phoenix 70 feet inS diameter and 5 feet high.

 And l am going after them. will bring William back with me"
 Thus confidently, the father of the much-wanted son stepped out on the trail oi three men whom he said had kidnapped William Hurd Barrett at Cedar Glade Cor Drake) on Friday last.
 Felony warrants are in the posses sion of the sheriff'S office for the three unknown men who are thought 10 have seized the boy to take him back to his mother, a wealthy di- vorcee, now said to be living at Hol- lywood.
 Instead of going to Los Angeles. the alleged llidnapcrs and the boy are thought to have switched trains and to have struck north to San Francisco where it is believed sc- curer hiding place can be found.
 Dl' DdllGtl, WHO Sdlu ne udQ DCCt in the world war, and who is mot afraid of any situation that lie may bring him, set out on the trail de- tcrmincd that the boy awarded to his custody by the courts Of New York state should be restored.

Good morning, my dears.
Here is q gem that we should not
miss. Il will worship toward thy
holy temple and praise thy name for
thy loving kindness and for thy
truth" Part of Psalm 1882.
We are continually asking our
Heavenly Father for blessings. Some
times we thank him too, but are we
not apt to use empty words? Yes,
many, many times. When some great
or secret sorrow comes we don't for
get to go apart and ask, generally
thrt our sorrow may be removed.
JdyB come to US some times. Why
not 90 by Ourselves and with all our
heart tell God of our joy. Don't you
know that it takes just as much grace
To receive joys as it does sorrows, but
how apt we are to forget to be thank
full for joys.
Here is a letter written by Ernest
Lovedore to Dolly Dimple. Dearest
Dolly, / love you SO much. 1t has

heart is sad every moment i am away
from you. Good night, then, dearest
until other ages have gone. Yours
everlastingly, ever, always, Ernest.
Twenty -four hours later-Dolly

he felt now that he understood why
some other men had sought so long
and carefully before selecting their
jewels. Each day, as he went to or
from his work, he stopped and look

looked, he admired. Many days he
went and came not emitting to look

came sad. Ito be continued)
