south stands ready for the call to
 arms and this, together with the remnants that will be left of Wins
 low and HolbroOk, when the various
 other candidates take their bite out he figures will be sufficient to
 land him in the office he almost
 parted with in a confidence game.
 He says you won't see the balance of
 the bunch that will trot in the same
 heat with him on September the seventh-for the dust from the Greer hobby'-unless we get a cloudburst from an unexpected quart er and that running for office is a lot of fun if you can get enough many ways that would go to the other fellow anyway-and now that the republicans have no candidate for attorney, it will strengthen his chances considerable for all. the other cOntenders are. loyal democrats and they would never consent to slip by on an independent ticket if they should fall by the wayside in the primaries.

 w. B. Walton of Winslow came down Tuesday as the shepherd for bunch of candidates in order to get their togaS on straight for the try out on Sept. '.
 Thorwald Larson makes his an- nouncement in the News that he will take a chance at the county attorney job this year-and it's a chance that he will take the job, too, for they say, that up Winslow Way-where they railroad fellow through, has the switch set just right, and anyway, somebody has to be picked out of the bunch conspiring for this office. He has held down the job before and is eminently qualified to serve the coun- ty in the capacity of attorney should he succeed in roping the job.
 James Scott, of Pinedale, the next senator rom NaValO county, was Tn town this week looking after his political fences, and as one old timer remarked ''If was as sure of getting by St. Peter at the pearly gates as Jim Scott is of going to the senate this winter, I'd stop chipping in to maintain a sky pilot in whom need have no concern"
 The latest Fish story.-Just when Greer had settled down to take it easy and the only doubtful question was the size of his majority, word comes to town that Fish was on the line all the time, and that his papers were addressed to Bob. Walton at Holbrook, who was the official flef for Fish, and for some reason they became unlocked, and he was lost so far as the primary ballot is but he will come to the surface again at the election and some of his opponents will find them selves in deep water.

One of the most delightful of in- formal summer time parties given for quite some time in Adamana was that of last Thursday evening when Mrs Orville Martin entertained in honor of Miss Marbry Henning of Pinto the color scheme was humming bird green.
 Mrs. A J. Kesta and small cor terie of friends motored over to Hol- brook Saturday where a theater party complimentary to Miss Hattie Johnson of Latch, California was given by Mrs. KoSta, after which they all dined at the Ritz.
 Petty thieves recently broke into the home of MT. and Mrs. Orville Martin, and stole a revolver, watch, a ring and a few dollars in money. They however overlooked several other articles, of much greater value which they could have taken.
 Mrs, Chas. VonAchen of Bibo has just returned from a delightful visit at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Thos- Walsh of Williams.

 As the crowds were returning to Adamana from the picnic grounds Sunday, an incident occurred that came near terminating seriously.

While the republicans failed to have enough ''goods'' to outfit an en- tire ticket, when it came to precinct committeeman they had more supply than demand and one of the four candidates must receive jolt at the show down unless one of them proves a Gaston or an Alphonse and does a little martyr stuff for the good of the cause This is indeed republ- ican year, all right.
