the high cost of living was not an ever
present problem and some things were
cheap, james Whitcomb Riley walked
into a barber shop at Greenfield for
Scent shave. The proprietor of the
shop was an old negro.

RECEIPTS FROM DAIRY
 TRIPLED

Keeping daily records of the milk yield of each cow, where there is no cow-testing associat- ion, is a profitable practice. This is shown by reports on herd records received by the United States Department of Agriculture.
 An instance where a herd has been greatly improved with cut increasing it's numbers (by more than one cow) is found in a report from Oklahoma. The dairyman's cream checks for a given month amounted to SIS. AZ, the cream being obtained from a herd of 27 cows. One wear later, after doing herd record work. he was able with q herd of 28 cows, just one more than he had at the earlier date, to sell cream to the value fo $223.60, or nearly three times as much-a pretty good return for care given to cullinG the herd and improving the management.
 While the current prices for butter fat have increased some what, they have not trebled in year. so it is obvious that there has been a large increase in the productiveness of the herd.

ITS A SAD, SAD TALE
 DON'T MIND THE SCORE

The message flashed from manager Patterson to the Will siams base ball boys, telling them that a good time had been arranged for their visit at King man last Saturday night and Sunday, did not half express it.
 The Kingman band was out to greet the boys on their ar- rival on number nine Saturday night, and they were escorted by Manager Patterson and a bunch of Kingman fans to the park where a dance was given in their honor.
 But an added attraction not on the bill was the merry-go- round provided at the King man base ball park on Sunday. It looked like rain and it did, rain-base hits, two base hits, three base hits and home runs, with most of the raining" be- ing done by the Kingman team. The first inning, when Kingman accumulated nine runs on two bases on balls, two singles. three home runs, and three er- TOTS, provided a fair sample of what was to follow, and three Williams pitchers were led to the slaughter during the two hours and forty five minutes necessary to play the game. They all looked alike to King man, and before the last Will Hams batter had been retired in the ninth, Kingmap had ac. cumulated twenty five runs while Williams could get but six off Smith and McKesson, the Kingman pitchers.
 In order to save the feelings of the Williams boys and fans as much as possible, we omit the box core. The score by in- nings follows:
 Williams O1112 O1OO- 6 Kingman 91227 x-25 ,Kingman secured IT hits and made 9 errors. Williams was credited with II hits and 3 errors.
 Batteries, for Williams, Tip ton, Kukenbaker, Sellman and Proctor; for Kingman, Smith, McKesson and Price.

The new floor was made necessary by the decaying of the floor ioists altho these had been in use but eight years. When the building was constructed nc provision was made for ventil. lation under this part of the floor and dampness was the cause of the rapid decay of the timbers. MT. Reese is ar ranging for ventilation under the new floor and this should lengthen the life of the floor a number of times over the one just removed.

MRS. JACQUE DeLORIS
 ALLISON

Williams was saddened Sat urday morning by news of the death of Mrs. w. H. Allison at her home here. Mrs. Allison had been suffering for several weeks with a bad abscess in her head near the base of the brain. The abscess had finally broken and discharged through the ear and but a few days before her death she seemed to be on the road to recovery. During her last few days of life, she again suffered extremely, but it was thought that having once dis charged as the abscess had, it would soon heal. Instead, Fri. day night the ailment grew rapidly worse and the sufferer passed away at :15, Saturday morning.
 Mrs. Jacque DeLoris Payne Allison was born in Denver, Colo, in 1885. When but a small girl she was taken to Chi cago by her parents, and there she spent her girlhood. After graduating from high-school in that city, she finished her schooling ir the Martha Wash ington Seminary in Washington D. c. After completing the course there, she returned to Chicago where she resided with her mother until her marriage to P. c. Knight, of Los Angeles. MT. Knight owned large lum- Der interests in New Mexico and it was there he and his bride took up their home. MT Knight was a brother-in-law of MT. Greenlaugh who was re. gently killed in Mexico while looking after lumber interests there. After MT. Knights 'S death in New Mexico, Mrs. Knieht returned to her mother at McCook, Nebraska, where she remained until the spring of 1919. when she was married to w. H. Allison, of this city, on May 3.
 Mrs. Allison made friends rapidly after her arrival in Will. Hams, and her death comes aI a severe shock to the many here who had come to treasure her acquaintance.
 Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock and interment was made in the local cemetery. The serviceG were given under the auspiceS of the I. O. O. F. and the Re. bekahs assisted by the Macca- bees. The floral off erings were unusually numerous and ex. tremely beautiful. in evidence of the very high esteem in which Mrs. Allison was held.

J. D. DUNN SEEKS REELEC-
 TON COUNTY ASSESSOR

J. D. Dunn, who announces that he is a candidate for. re- election to the office of County Assessor, is not a stranger to the voters of Coconino County. He has filled the position with fidelity and honor and, if re- elected he will bring to the of fee of County Assessor the same efficiency he has in the past, with the addition of the experience he has gained while iii office.
 During the time he has been assessor of Coconino County, Arizona, taxable property has increased until at the present time it is near $23,U0O,O00. This increase is due to the fact that he requires each one to bear his portion of the taxes and is not the result of increas- ing the assessed valuation of any individuals property.
 The Assessors office is an of nee that requires tne assessor CO be familiar with and know the value of all kinds of property and to know about all the pro- perty that should be assessed, in the county in which he is as- sessor. J. D. Dunn possesses the information and has acquir- ed knowledge to see that each individual is assessed equitably and for his full valuation. It takes a number of years of ex- perience for a person to famil- iarize himself with the proper ty in a given county and see that none of it escapes taxation. J. D. Dunn halls from Mississ- ippi and is seeking the nomina- tion on the Democratic ticket.
 It is doubtful if he will have any opposition at the primary.
