to be enjoying everything.
 At Holbrook we met Geo. E. Taylor, of Chandler, who was kind enough to pilot us through the mountains. Geo. is secretary of the Apache Oil Co.,, and has offices in Holbrook and says he intends to make a barrel of money out of oil. He took us in his fiivver up to Snowflake, Taylor and the pret- ty mountain ranch home of Jesse Pearce. At Snowflake we got one of the best meals we ever found in north ern Arizona.
 The mountain roads are all uniform ally good, but the roads leading into the mountains, notably from the Salt River valley, are the most wretched to be found anywhere.
 There are thousands of acres of the finest soil in that region around Snow flake, Taylor and Heber, that will sure raise the biggest crop of grain with out irrigation, ever known. In addi- tion the land is being drilled for oil for miles. Lack of space in this issue prevents reciting the possibilities in farming and oil in what is known as the Holbrook country and will be set forth in the next issue.-Chandler Ar izonan.

Oh, I've waded the mud that was red with the blood Of many a dead friend and foe, And I've crawled through the hell of

 takes flop Meath the Theda Bar-rage from

 Or to do dress parade in a camp, But my blood does dance at the tim

MANY ARE AFTER MARTINS
 PLACE IN AMERICAN LEGION

Early interest is being manifested in American Legion circle in the com ing election of state officers for the department of Arizona, which will be held in connection with the annual meeting scheduled to be held at Globe, Aug. 9, 10 and II.
 No less than half dozen have been mentioned for the office of state con- mander, among them being Bert Clin- gan, Clifford Fairies, former member of the legislature from Gila county; John M. Longan, of Phoenix; Col. John Greenway, of Bisbee, and Colo nel Stout, of Douglas. In view of the intense rivalry which has sprung up between the supporters of these var ious candidates and fearing that this rivalry may develop friction and the opening of old sores, formidable movement has been started here to re- elect Andy Martin, of Tucson, as state commander.
 When asked concerning this move ment, Bert Clingan, head of Phoenix post, and other delegates to the Globe convention said that they would sup port Martin if given the opportunity, though, they understand, they sald, that Martin would decline to run for reelection.
 "State Commander Martin and Ad- jutant Windes are certainly entitled to ful credit for the splendid growth of the organization in Arizona" said Clingan," and we would like to see them continued in office, in order that harmonious development may con- tinue. Most certainly the Phoenix del egation can be counted on to insist that they are kept on the executive committee. Arizona has 36 American Legion posts with membership of B. 900, for which Martin and Windes are in large part, responsible. This strength can be still further increased if they remain active with the state organization.

KNOCKS AND BOOSTS
 NORTHERN ARIZONA
(By S. A. Meyer.)

Having just returned from a trip through northern Arizona and follow ing out the oft-repeated maxim to "see Arizona first" have come to the conclusion that when the tourists SC northern Arizona first they make it the last visit as well.
 Nothing can compare, however, with the scenic wonders of that section of the state, including the Grand Canyon, the Painted Desert, the petrified for est, the cliff dwellings, and the pines and mountains. Aside from the Grand Canyon, where the hotel and eating accommodations are unexcelled, no comfortable accommodations could be found.
 Flagstaff lays claims. to eight mil lionaires and the most decrepit side walks to be found anywhere. It has more shacks than any town in north ern Arizona. Perhaps if these mil llonaires got together and improved their country with some of the money 1t male for them, the criticism one hears on every hand would be less bit- ter.
 Naturally, we visited the newspa- per offices and in the plant of the Co., conino Sun found one of the best equipped shops in the state. This is one. of the two reasons why The Sun is the best weekly in Arizona, the oth- CT reason being the proprietor, Fred s. Breen.
 We had the pleasure of meeting any number of Chandler people in that section of the state, some of whom are camping and others attending the summer school at Flagstaff. Those who have been attending the Normal were: Mir. and Mrs. F. J. Curtiss and daughter, Vienna; Mir. and Mrs. A. E. Edmonds and family; w. c. Woolley and Fred P. Austin, the new superin- tendent; also Miss Jessie, Gruwell, of Mesa, former Chandler girl.
 We also met MT. and Mrs. J. D. Beall, who are on their honeymoon and who are touring the state by auto. J: M. Dickson and family pulled into Flagstaff from Springerville day or two after we arrived. They are camp ing and are having the time of their lives. Joe Morgensen and his bride, nee Lois Hanson, together with the other two Morgensen boys, are camp ing way up among the pines and seem

BROKER TAKES
RAP AT MANCET

ATLANTA, April 28.-J. E. Raley,
of J. E. Raley & Brothers, merchant
disc brokers and Atlanta representa-
tives of the Savannah sugar refinery,
has issued statement to the effect
that the shipment of five carloads of
sugar received in Atlanta Monday
was not brought here by special in
tercession of any official of the gov
ernment, but come in the regular
course of business.
The statement was prompted by
the announcement of John A. Man
get, fair price commissioner, that he
went to Washington and made special
intercession with some government
officials and got the sugar sent here.
Mr.. Raley says:
I'VE have gotten in about 500 bar
rels, or approximately 100000
pounds of sugar from Savannah. This
sugar came as the regular
quota from the Savannah refinery
for Atlanta and was not secured
by any special appeal from any
government representatives.
ALLEGATIONS for Atlanta have been
received regularly from Savannah's
output and we will continue to re-
celve from the Savannah refinery
Atlanta's proportion of their out
turn.
'The Savannah refinery is the logi-
cal source of supply for the south
east and this refinery has endeavor-
ed to prorate its output equally
among all the markets in its natural
territory without favoritism.
This sugar would have come to
Atlanta, and did come here, through
the regular order of trade and is
being distributed through the regular
channels"
