NO FARM LOAN MONEY
 BEFORE NEXT AUTUMN

Secretary-Treasurer Roger A. Morse, of the Coconino County Farm Loan association, has received word from general headquarters that the U. $. supreme court will require re- argument of the Kansas City case. It is doubtful if the re-argument can be heard during the present term, which means a possible delay of eight or nine months. The farm loan proposi- tion is being fought in the supreme court by the Bankers Farm Mort gage association, eastern capital, bent on preventing, if possible, any of this cheap, long time farm loan money getting to the farmers.
 There are seven aplications for loans pending in the Coconino Farm Loan association. MT. Morse says that there is no way of making the loans until the Kansas City case is fa- vorably decided, which it probably will be this coming fall or winter. In the meantime, those who cannot wait un- til the matter is cleared up, will have to make other arrangements for the money.

DELAY IN HEARING
 DISARMAMENT EVIDENCE

The commission of lawyers appoint ed by Superior Court Judge J. E. Jones to investigate the complaints brought for disbament by c. B. Will son and Francis D. Crable against Mercer Hemperley, and by the latter against both of the former, did not hold their first meeting on Saturday, as planned. Attorney x. N. Sleeves, of Williams, intimates that he does not want to serve on the commission and Judge Fred w. Perkins, another member, had not returned from Phoenix. The law provides that the commission shall be composed of from three to. five members. So Mir. Steeves's not serving will not inter- fere with the program, as there still are left four members, Messrs. Har- ben, Perkins, Harrison and Cureton. It is likely the sittings will begin next week.

BOARD DEMANDS
 MOUER'S RESIGNATION

The following very strenuous letter addressed by three members of the state land board, constituting ma jority, to Commissioner Mouer, re- questing his resignation, which letter precipitated the investigation now go- ing on in the land department: Phoenix, Ariz., May 3, 1920. State Land Department.
 Hon. w. A. Mouer, (confidential.) State Land Commissioner,
 Phoenix, Ariz.
 Dear Sir:
 This communication is for you alone.
 The dissatisfaction throughout the state and the numerous complaints coming daily to each of the undersign- ed against the administration of the state land department, has been borne patiently by each of us, with the daily hope of overcoming said complaints. That hope is now abandoned, and the complaints against the land depart ment and the actions of some of your subordinates within the last few weeks have rendered it impossible for us to postpone any longer this letter which is addressed to you with the utmost courtesy. That courtesy which is due you can not permit us to refrain from announcing that present conditions as to the administration of the land de- partment can no longer be condoned. We realize that your condition of health has caused you to leave to oth- CTS in the servive many things which would have received your official att tention had your strength enabled you to give it such attention. Our associations with you and your sub ordinates has made plainer day by day the necessity of this letter. But we know that your physical condition has prevented you from giving that close attention which your official state re- quires, in supervising the acts of your most responsible subordinates.
 The undersigned have consulted at numerous times together, with the hope that the deplorable conditions ex- isting in the land department might be overcome without the necessity of the request which We now make, but that hope has now been totally over come. The state land commissioner holds merely at the desire of the will of the appointing power, to-wit the state land~department composed of the five state officers mentioned in the public land code. A change can be made at any moment.
 From the foregoing you will under stand the necessity now existing which calls upon us to request your resigna- tion. It is needless for us to express the feeling of regret which you know possesses each of us at this moment.
 The members of the state land de- partment are wholly responsible for the administration of the department as you are we'll aware, yet we feel that our friendly relations with you should find expression as above set forth
 Most respectfully,
 Members of the State Land Dept. (Signed) JESSE L. BOYCE,

BEWARE OF COUNTER
 FEET SAVINGS STAMPS

Warning to carefully examine 1919 War Savings Stamps presented for redemption because of the discovery of clever counterfeit has been broadcasted to all postmasters on the Pacific coast by the post office de- partment. The counterfeit can be rec ognized by a swelling on the left cheek of Benjamin Franklin's picture which appears on the stamp, making the venerable exponent of thrift look as if he had the toothache.
 Printed from a steel plate on a good grade of paper, the counterfeit stamps shows the following defects:
 Left cheek of Franklin has a pro- nounced swelling.
 Lower one of two left dots below the portrait is comparatively indis- tinct.
 Vertical opening between the lines in the lower left part of the numeral "2" in "1924" is closed.
 The chief of the United States se- cret service at Washington has sent specimens of the counterfeit to secret service operatives throughout the country. Postoffices in metropolitan centers have been instructed to select an employee of known exceptional abilities to acquaint himself with the characteristics of the counterfeit and to examine carefully all stamps of the 1919 series presented for redemption, save those registered before January l, 1920, as the counterfeit was issued after that date.
 The 1920 series of War Savings Stamps is not affected, as they are an entirely different issue, carmine in color and carrying a reproduction of a portrait of George Washington. They are on sale at all banks and postoffices.

WATER PIPE GOING IN
 FAST EAST OF PEAKS

The Arizona Cattle and Sheep com pany's activities on the east side of San Francisco mountains for the week past have consisted of tunneling and trenching with tunnel-crew of 8, and pipe-laying or trenching crew of IF men. Charles H. Spencer, field di- rector, is adding new man daily.
 The three carloads of 4-inch iron pipe delivered to date from San Fran cisco, will be hauled from Cliffs to the $500 fit. level of the mountain by truck, where the pipe will be taken in charge by the company's truck and delivered in the vicinity of Jack Smith tank, from which point it will be distributed along the trench, eith- CT by wagon or pack, as most feasi- ble, following the line of trench south- easterly from the face of the tunnel. The pipe being sophisticated, it can not be dragged over the surface with out endangering the protective cover ing, method of pipe distribution of the rough-and-ready kind which can not be employed in this instance. The notwithstanding will extend to a distance of 21a miles, succeeded by 2s miles of easy grade to a point west of Doney Park, where farm con- nections with the water supply will be made by laterals. According to Mir. Spencers calculations this five miles of trenching and pipe-laying will be completed by the middle of June with his present force of men, the rough est part of the country, and therefore the slowest part of the job, being the present point of operations.
 At the conclusion of the first 2ls miles of trenching the pipe-laying will proceed while the lower trench ing is going on, which should bring the two jobs to simultaneous con- clusion at the termination of the five mile point.
 George Wurster, who will be one of the managers of the livestock branch of the Arizona Cattle and Sheep com pany's business, left San Francisco on Saturday of last week, with his fam fly, to take up his permanent resi- dence in Flagstaff, and is looked for before this issue is off the press.

MAYOR WAIVERS

Mayor E. c. Slipher, after reading the following post card which he re- ceived by mail yesterday, addressed to "The Hon. Mayor" is wondering whether he hadn't better get out and work for this new dark horse candi- date for presidential honors. He says this fellow may get the nomination, in line with Bryan's prediction that a dark horse will be selected.

BOOSTERS YESTERDAY
 DID MORE BOOSTING

The Boosters club, when they con- gregated at the Confection Den yes terday for their regular fortnightly luncheon, found that mine host, Billy Borum, had discontinued serving meals, so adjourned to the Conner cial Cafe and, after eating, again ad- journed to Elks' hall for the business meeting.
 Rev. Father C. Vabre announced that he has been appointed chairman for the Salvation Army drive, which is planned to raise $1 ,440 in this coun- ty, and that w. B. Raudebaugh, J. D. Jackson, Dr. Finn and c. B. Wilson are official solicitors.
 County Engineer J. B. Wright and Boosters Chairman Tom Stahl told about the effort that is being made to get better road conditions between here and the cemeteries.
 Captain E. M. Robison described the success attending the efforts to get the battery here, then forcefully ad- vocated other civic improvements, such as the proposed road to the Peaks, better hotel and cottage facili- ties here and better streets.
 George T. Harrington, Tom Stahl, Father Vabre and C. B. Wilson also advocated general encouragement to MT. Weatherford in his Flagstaff to Peaks road project.
 Followed discussion between Cap tain Robison and Mayor Earl Slipher as to the feasibility of issuing bonds for improvement of all of Flagstaff's streets, not necessarily with paving, but with crushed rock or gravel. Mir. Slipher explained that the city council is helpless in the matter, unless the people raise the money, pointing out that the city's total annual revenue is only about $25,000, which leaves very little for street work. He said the council would be very glad to improve the streets if the people will provide the funds.
 It was announced that as soon as Mrs. Hall opens her dining room at the Weatherford, the Boosters will have separate dining room for their meetings.
 Those at the meeting in addition to those mentioned, were: l.. c. Riley, J. B. Gunter, l.. A. Eastburn, E. G. Miller, Rev. Luther Moore, Prof. O.. H. Richardson, E. B. Rakestraw, L.. w. Cress, c. A. Pearson, Dr. M. G. Fronske, Judge Crosby, of Mesa; For est Reserve officials Frank C. w. Pool CT. John Kerr and R. E. Marsh, all of Albuquerque, and Forest Supervisor Scott, of the Tusayan National for est, Williams.

THE CITY COUNCIL

With city election coming on the 24th of this month, about the only surface activity that has been noted was the appointment, on Monday, by the city council of the following judges of election: Alex A. John ston, Chas. P. Heisser, Roger A. Morse.
 The council received a petition from the Normal school, to close the streets and alleys through the campus so the plans for beautifying the grounds may be carried out. Councilman Harrison, Ray Rabbit and Sam Quay were appointed committee to confer with the Normal school board and re- port back for later action.
 A petition to grade South San Francisco street, the property own CTS along the street agreeing to pay their share of the cost, was favorably acted upon, and Street Superintend ent Frank Richmond requested to pro- ceed with the work.
 The 20-year city park improvement plans outlined by the forest service were adopted, and resolution passed thanking the forest service for their splendid cooperation.
 City Engineer J. B. Wright was in structed to go to Phoenix for a con- ference with the federal and state highway engineers relative to paving the National Old Trails through the city. White & Miller, of Yuma, the only contractors bidding on the work, as told in The Sun last week, having been notified of the rejection of their bid of 79,936.00, seem anxious to get the job and have suggested that they be permitted to go ahead with it and let someone else build the River de Flag bridge, which they had included in their estimate at $9,450.00.
 The council will meet again tomor- row afternoon.

KANSAS CITY WEEKLY
 LIVE STOCK LETTER
Kansas City Stock Yards,
 NH A nnn


 Shippers profted by the mistake they made last week when they group ed their offerings in the first two days of the week, and this week found the opening moderate, with indications of a more equal distribution throughout the week. Trade in cattle opened early at strong 25 cents higher prices. hogs were strong and sheep were strong to 50 cents higher.
 T0day's Receipts.
 Receipts today were 5000 cattle 16, ,0O0 hogs and 5000 sheep com pared with 15,000 cattle, 16,000 hogs and 10000 sheep week ago, and 15,- 200 cattle, 19,550 hogs and 13,500 sheep year ago. Today's receipts came from a rather wide scope of ter ritory and included increased offer- ings from Texas, and few consign- ments from Arizona, New Mexico and Utah.
 Beef Cattle.
 With lighter total receipts, and an increased number of stockers and feeders, the supply of beef cattle to- day was materially short of week ago, and year ago, and after the first canvass of the supply, killers traded freely in beef cattle at strong to 26 cents higher prices than the clost last week. The big drop in prices that oc- cured last Monday and Tuesday has about disappeared and indications are for more settled conditions in the trade. Yearling steers sold readily, ton 312 0(o and ctrOnOor wpiphtS brought up to $13.15. Most of the of- ferings were medium weight steers that brought s11.50 to $12.50. Cows and heifers and veal calves were strong to 25 cents higher.
 Stockers and Feeders.
 Trade in stockers and feeders was active and prices firm. Demand was largely for 700 to 900 pound steers for grazing. Practically no cattle are go- ing out to be fed grain on grass.
 Sheep and Lambs. Shep prices were 50 cents to $1.OO

OLD TRAPPERS' HARD LUCK

Old Trapper R. w. Williams was in Flagstaff Wednesday from the Grand Canyon country, where he has been trapping wild animals for the Hud- speth Sheep company for the past two years. During the last year he gath cred up the furs of seventy three coy- otes and wild cats on that range. He lost couple of good horses last fall from what he believes was "flu." Bill DeAdder, another old trapper who has caught wild animals all over the northern country, lost couple of good horses last week on his way in from the Cataract Canyon country. He stopped at ranch after dark and found no one at home. In hunting for horse feed, found sack of oats hang ing up and fed it to his horses. It proved to be poisoned oats and his horses lived only short time after eating. Bill had no matches with him and did not notice that the sack had been marked "poison."

When you hear a noise like a rat ting drip pan or loose running boards and it's hard to tell each apart-get someone to bear heavily on the fender you suspect. If the noise doesn't stop, look for loose bolts in the drip pan.
