GARDNER FOUR" DUE IN PHOENIX
 IN NEAR FUTURE

The Gardner Light four" is coming to Phoenix. That rumor has been cur rent for some time but yelled in some what of a mystery for no one has seemed to know just who the distribu tor for this car would be. At least no one has been found who knew.
 The fact seems to remain, however. that this practically new and extremely popular car is coming to Phoenix in the very near future, so for the time being, all that may be said is a few words, descriptive of the car and some information concerning it's popularity in other sections of the country where it has already been introduced.
 The car sells in the $500 class or somewhere near that figure, according to all available information. In lines it is unusually attractive and smart being entirely foreign from anything freakish. There are two models, the standard roadster and a five passenger, painted in a black enamel without em- bellishments. The motor is remarkably

efficient and pow erfuI and economical in it's operation with 9 bore of 3A inches and . stroke of inches.
 Many standard units of proven worth are included in it's makeup. It has a I7-inch steering wheel 32x31 F tires and every modern equipment. From in- formation coming from Los Angeles, where the car has been distributed for only a few months, it is reported that it is still necessary to keep open the show rooms in the evening in order to accommodate the public who wish to see the car on display.
 It is expected that a full page an nouncement will soon be made in this paper. announcing the definite price of the car and it's distributor.

AREN'T SAYS MIDAS
WILL Be BIG CAMP

There remains almost numberless
places in Nevada where a man may
go and make a mine which will pay
splendid returns on ten years of
work. declares Sam Arentz, who re-
turned to Coodsprings recently from
a months campaign of the state in
quest of the Republican nomination
for representative in congress.
Arentz deplores the enormous waste
of effort by experienced as well as
inexperienced miners in their search
for glory holes" which will make
them rich quick. He declares any
man can make fortune in the Sage
brush State by straight hard work.
Arentz has a fine ranch which he
cleared from sagebrush land in the
Smith Valley. He has productive
mines in the Goodsprings district
and at Promontory Point He declares
that Phoebe has ore for generations
to come; that Midas must eventually
be big camp; that lone will become
the worlds greatest producer OF
quicksilver and that Austin and Eure-
ka districts are susceptible of greai
amount of development Mr.. Aren't
is finishing his campaign in Washo
and Ormsby counties. He says b,

ANOTHER PLAN FOR
SELLING OF WOOL

ANY Nevada man may be able TO
buy an all-wool suit for $55 with the
wool growers of the state the retail
ers, IL some of the suggestions made
at the recent meeting of the National
Woolgrowers' Association at Salt Lake
are carried out, states the Reno Ga
zette. The idea was suggested as one
means of relieving the congestion of
wool on the market.
According to the plan, the sheep
men will send their wool to the mills
to be spun and will later retail the
cloth. 1t was estimated that enough
cloth for a mans suit could be sold
for $40 and the workmanship would
cost about $35. 1t was calculated that
at that rate wool grower would
have about sixty orders day for
cloth and one member of the associa-
ton said he had carried out the idea
and had procured 235 orders in one
day." +. w. Wilson said when telling
of the meeting which he attended. /.
"A cooperative wool market af
Salt Lake was also suggested, allow
ing for the marketing of all Western
WOOL at that city.
"A resolution was passed to ask
congress to impose an embargo on all
'rozen lambs shipped into this coun-
ry from Australia and New Zealand.
It was stated that sixty shiploads, in
luding 100000 head, were on the way
o this country. which would shut out
he American product from the mar
ret. 1t is hoped by imposing this eni-
barge a repetition of such situation
will not occur. The sheepmen of this
,ountry are becoming pretty discour-
,ged," Wilson said

WHAT CALIFORNIA
ELECTION SIGNIFIES

Democrats, who were so confident
that California will go for Cox in the
national election. received a right up
percut to the point of the chin
knocked completely for a goal, as il
were. by the nomination of Samuel
NJ. Shortridge for United States sena-
tor. at the recent Republican primary.
This election is forerunner of the
attitude of our neighbor upon the vi
tally important national issues. Short
ridge stood firmly upon a platform
Johnsonian in its anti-league of ma
tions sentiment, he declaimed long
and loud for high protective tariff,
he was liberal in his Interpretation OF
the Volstead act, fair to labor and
capital and denunciatory of all Red
propaganda.
OF his opponents. Kent, former
congressman ran second. His chief
claim being his several philanthropic
acts of public nature, his record as
a congressman which was tinged with
Democratic flavor, his support of the
league with reservations and his dry
leanings.
Wallace, the tail-ender in the race,
was a former lieutenant-governor
who believed that prohibition was the
paramount issue and was radical in
support of the eighteenth amendment.
This inference can be drawn. Cali
fornia will have nothing to do with
the league of nations as presented by
President Wilson nor with anyone
who supports any version thereof.
Thus. the state can be confidently
claimed for Harding in the Novem-
ber elections.
California has had reason to sorely
regret her dire error of four years
ago and has no intention Of permitting
a repetition of the occurrence. 1t is
normally Republican state and were
it not for the unfortunate incident
which kept Hughes and Johnson
apart through the Vaccinations of the
Progressive and Republican leaders
in Los Angeles. who were at swords
points in 1916, it is safe to say Wilson
would never have carried that state.
But both Progressives and Republi-
cans are now firmly lined up in sup
port of Harding. and with Johnson
leading a united party. Cox has as
| much chance of capturing those thir-
teen electoral votess as the proverbial
paper dog with taIlow legs, chasing
the famed asbestos cat through Hades.

hand-to-hand work. 1t must be said
that the people have a fine chance to

nominations (that is, Democrat for
The Senate and Republican for the

discharge their duties at the pri-
msries. The highest guess heard is
that so per cent of women registered

dates. From that figure the opinion
of pessimistic old-timers runs down
to 10 per cent. If women do go out
and vote heavily Gas they ought to.

COTTON
IN CoLORS
Southerner Has Succeeded In Grow
ing Green and Brown and Is
Experimenting on Black

A. w. Brabham has submitted to
the Cotton Exchange of Savannah
four samples of colored cotton-light
brown. dark brown, light green and
dark green. They are the results of
years of experimentation. Mr.. Brab-
ham says that other colors will ap-
pear when a number of cotton plants
in his garden that r not yet fully
grown begin to bear.
The botanist has not yet been able
to produce black cotton, but he says
he will do so in time. 1t would have
appeared this year, he contends, IL a
package of the seeds of a blue-tinted
cotton, mailed to him by a botanist
in Delhi, India, had not gone astray.
Brabham has sent for another
package of these seeds, and he is con-
WINGED that IL he rosses them with
certain of cottons he has already
grown the result will be black.
Luther Burbank once told Mr..
Brabham that he would produce black
cotton for a million dollars. Mr..
Brabham replied that he thought he
could do 1t more cheaply, and there

o L CITY
Established by Mormons on Island In
Lake Michigan, II was Of Con-
siderable Importance

The Wisconsin State Historical So
ciety is preparing a history of the
Mormons who settled in and around
the State during the middle of the
nineteenth century. The history will
contain much new material concern
ing the early Mormons who settled in
Illinois and built their sacred city of
Nauvoo, just above Keokuk.
After the death of Joseph Smith,
leader of the Mormons, in 1874, one
of the claimants to the succession
was James ]. Strang of Burlington,
Wis.,, who was converted to Mormon
ism in 1843 by missionaries who
came to Burlington. Strang soon
gained a strong following and estab-
lished a holy city at Voree, where
his followers made their headquart-
ers, sent out missionaries and became
successful rivals to the Brigham
Young movement in Utah.
About 1S49 Strang moved his fol-
lowers to Bever Island in Lake Michi-
gan where he built a new sacred city,
and had his headquarters from 1849
to 1856. The city Of st James was
the most important between Detroit
and Milwaukee. Strang met death
at the hands of two of his followers.
He left no successor, and the GEN.
tiles, profting by the confusion, des-
cended on his domain and looted it.
The inhabitants were forced to leave
with such of their possessions as they
could carry, and we're deported by
boat to Chicago and Milwaukee. The
church built up by Strang was thus
destroyed. 1t is estimated that Of
this branch of the Mormons less than
two hundred To- remain.
