THE KNIGHT WHO COULD NOT
 EIGAT

Malcolm, although he was a knight and had been one for years, was now 8 coward; yes. he admitted it in a sad, dreary way. It had happened one day at a tournament. All the brave. young and old knights had been there. A knight dressed in crimson and gold had appeared on the field and all who began a combat with him were over powered. No one recognized him as the boy who long years ago had been sent to a far away relative because of the death of his parents.
 Malcolm had up to a certain time watched this combatant with pride and admiration in his heart; but wien his comrades were being beaten down one by one he could bear it no longer, and so he rode into the field. After many dreadful blows the knight in crimson fell and Malcolm. seeing that he would rise no more. alighted and carefully took off the knights helmet. As he did this he fell back in horror, for he had recognized his old friend and playmate of childhood times. He remembered that half in jest one day they had vowed never to combat with one an other even if it did hazard the fame of both. He knew he had broken that VOW and had killed his friend.
 Since that time he had never had to meet another knight in combat. All his will power was gone, and with it his daring and confidence.

OH GIRLS, HERE YOU ARE! JUST LISTEN
 TO THESE LAWYERS

Suppose you were young, good looking and man-and 8 good looking woman proposed to you.
 What would you do?
 Would you act the gallant and ac- cept Der if you were head over heels in love with some one else?
 Would you accept her If you don t want to marry anyway
 Would you accept her if you really cared for her if she took the matter in her own hands
 Here are the answers of a few law yers in the city who are supposed to know about love. marriage-and well, everything.
 When seriously questioned on the subject of love and marriage, Alex ander Baker, an assistant attorney general and a social lion, replied with another question, Where do you get that stuff?''
 Love is question of belief" quoth he. Personally, I would investigate the kank account"
 Should a Leap Year maiden approach one Louis Hart he'd be accepted right off the bat" according to Louis own statement. I'm in the marrying field.' he announced. They tell me it is a wonderful little life and I'm a gam bier who will take a chance"
 Love is the unknown quantity; very few Of us ever really solve the prob lem" said C. C. Downing. lawyer and deputy clerk of the U. S. district court Mir. Downing would not say ''yes" or mo-" ho that his attitude will make him an interesting figure to the Leap Year girl.
 Walter Thalheimer is accepting all proposals this year without thought of the future. His daring is remark able in one so young, according to the girls.
 Guarded statements only were made by l.. A. Sullivan. Not a word could be used against him in any court. The very fact that he did not incriminate himself will give "a girl of the right sort some hope.
 Joe Mcbride, featured as the vic tim of the Leap Year girl since the first day of January, declares that he has not received a solitary proposal. MT. Mcbride says that his action in such a matter would depend largely on the girl. Naturally cavalier, Me Bride would have difficulty in being anything but extremely agreeable to a pretty young woman
 Stephen Rayburn, who -s said to be making scads of money as a land attorney, will take the girl who asks him. He positively said so. although he later qualified his statement by saying that he would look into her bank account first, having recently purchased a large addition to his law library.

FUN

Everybody has his ideas about fun. Some people prefer basket ball. others baseball, etc. None Of these is what fun really means to me.
 Sliding down a hill or hooking on street cars and automobile trucks on a sled is what I prefer.
 We used to go to the hill' every afternoon after school and slide until dark. When a boy would start down he needn't be surprised If four or five others were on him before he reached the foot. If you miss your hop you are likely to roll down the hill-
 We found our greatest joy hanging on street cars. We would get a long string of sleds and swing from one side of the street to the other. Once you hit the car track sidewise you were off. One afternoon we were on the back of q street car, swinging as usual and the boy on the end ran under a girl with basket full of groceries on her head. When he hit her the grocer ies went everywhere. We didn't stop to see the end Of it but the boy that ran under the girl heard a great deal more about it when he got home than had really happened.
 On Saturdays we would start the day by hooking automobile trucks. One Saturday morning we were on milk truck when I hit a hole in the street which turned my sled over and I fell off I knew if I had let loose of t!.a rope I would get left, so I held on. I was dragged for a block before I could get my sled turned over again so that I could get on. It is only boys luck that could carry one through this experience without getting scratch.
 With these few views in mind I hope you will agree with me that this is real fun.

looked like the beginning of a perfect day.
 "I had just hoisted the flag which had more than once sent fear straight to the hearts of the bravest Spanish crew. It was the flag carrying the black skull and crossbones- Just as I finished this the captain came out of his cabin and the crew rolled to deck like one man.
 'The sky was blue and clear and as [ shifted the sail the captain gave orders to set full speed ahead for the pass where the treasure ships were due. This was a dangerous business for the king of Spain kept his treasure ships well guarded. But our duty was to obey orders, and so we hoisted the main sail and soon sped for the pass.
 ''We arrived there about nine o'clock and set about preparing for the first ship which we knew carried much booty.
 We settled back in cave just out of the pass and took in the sail. Nor had we long to wait.
 About noon a Spanish galleon light Iy armed and carrying heavy burden came in sight down the pass.

OTHER TAXPAYERS EXPRESS OPINIONS
 OV ROAD PROGRAM

Several other taxpayers added their names yesterday to the list Of those who have discussed the county high way commissions announced decision to eliminate concrete cement construc- ton in planning the county's s4,000,000 road program. Some of these were residents of the city; others were ranchers to whom good roads to and from the city, and between points in the county are of vital importance.
 s. T. Calhoun: I am quite certain the idea prevailed. when we voted for the road bonds, that the roads would be constructed of concrete-of the very best materials. We should build the best roads as far as the money goes, and then if necessary vote more bonds.
 Ezra Thayer: My opinion on this road question is that we should have the best road as far as the money will go. What we do build should be of substantial materials. Furthermore, we should go at it in a businesslike way to get results
 F. M. Wilkinson: 1 think we ought to put in concrete roads as far as the money will go. Whether or not an- other bond issue should be sought, I am not prepared to say But there is absolutely no use in putting in poor type of road.
 A. s. Reed: I spent seven weeks in southern California last summer, and u was my observation that concrete roads were the best. We should have roads of this type. l should suggest going ahead with the concrete roads we voted for. I would rather see less roads than an extensive system of poor ones It does not seem to me to be good business Judgment to build roads that will soon need repair.
 John Anderson: I am in favor of the best roads we can have. l would even be in favor of voting more bonds to .-l- tT,n not be completed by employing the best 
 J. E. Irving: I am very much in favor of concrete roads. If we only build a few miles I would ike to see them built of permanent materials.
 Samuel Mahan: I am for concrete roads and nothing else. Concrete is the best road material for this county. The other type of road will not last here. If necessary, would be in favor of another bond issue. If we cannot complete the program with the money in hand let us vote the rest and com plete the job. I think the taxpayers are willing to pay for the best.
 George Cate: I thought when we voted for the $4,000,000 bond issue we were voting for roads of the best type roads. Let us have concrete roads if we only build a few miles. I would say build concrete roads as far as the money goes. The farmers real ize that the prices have gone up and am sure they understand that it will be difficult to build the full 278 miles of concrete. But 1 am sure, too. that they want as many miles built of con- crete as it is possible to build. The first cost is the least in road building.
 While Mir. Cate was speaking over the telephone, another rancher on the same party wire picked up his receiver, and. overhearing the conversation, i ID II not catch his name, but apparently he knew Mir. Cate, and endorsed the lat ter's opinion.
 By all means, Cate" he said, Let us have concrete if we only build few miles,"

COURT WILL DECIDE
 OWNERSHIP IF CALF
 FOUND MOTHERLESS

Freshly branded calves found moth erless on the ranges of the state are subject to seizure by the state author1- ties. there being a statute to that ef- feet of the public from the depreda tions of cattle ruStlers, according to Secretary Stephens of the ivestock sanitary board. A case of this sort IS to be heard in township court at Con gress Junction tomorrow.
 According to the secretary, there are cattle rustlers who make a point of To- eating unbranded calves on the range. cutting them out from their mothers. driving them far away. and branding the calves for themselves. This being the case, he says, there is usually occa- sion for suspicion when d motherless calf is found freshly branded. The rightful owners are allowed to recover the baby stock by proving ownership.
 Various means for proving owner ship usually are available, according ID the secretary, one infallible method be ing to give the calf a chance to recoS- nize the alleged mother. It is claimed that a calf will run to its mother even after four months of separation.
 The case at Congress Junction in wolves one calf bearing the brand of Steele & Billingsly. The calf has been under state control for about 40 days but the authorities claim that 1t would remember its mother very well if giv- en the chance. The Steele x Billingsly interests, it is said, will produce two witnesses who will sustain their claim to rightful ownership and it is not eX- pected that the mother will be put on the stand
 Secretary Stephens leaves for Con gress Junction today to be present a { the trial as an expert witness for the state He takes the stand that the states expenses in fighting the case will be well justified, even though the defendants sustain their claim of own erShip.

 The only difficulty to be met would be in securing a code. If these sup posed Martians possess equipment, then there is no doubt but what we could establish direct communication I think this plan is practical.

SCENE ON SUPERSTITION
 MOUNTAIN

The viewpoint is on the side of a canyon on Superstition mountain.
 The canyon, through which runs a stream of cold water fed by the melt ing snow starts nearly at the top of the mountain, getting wider and deeper toward the west. On the left the wall of the canyon rises for two hundred and 50 feet, dotted with boulders and yucca plants and covered with snow. On the right the bare rocky wall rises for one hundred and fifty feet with only here and there a yucca plant or scrub oak.
