One of the government employees in from the reservation recently said that when it comes to shrewdness, the Hopi has it all over the Navajo. The Hopis are natural traders. The follow ing happening will illustrate:
 A Navajo rode up to little store run by Hopi. The latter had lot of rugs, beads and various articles of local manufacture spread out on the floor. Conspicuous among them was a jeweled necklace. It caught the Navajo's attention, and the more he looked at it the more he coveted it. Eventually the two Indians got to talking trade. All that the Navajo had was a horse and saddle, a very good outfit. He finally turned both saddle and horse over to the Hopi and became possessor of the necklace. After an hour or so, most of which he spent in admiring his acquisition, he began to wonder how he was going to get back home, a hundred miles a. way. He mentioned his dilemma to the Hopi, who remarked that he had a horse he would sell. The horse was brought out-an old relic of the bone yard, worth less than the stirrup of the outfit the Navajo had traded for the necklace.
 But the Navajo had to have horse to ride back home on. So he traded the necklace for the old plug and rode away, entirely satisfied.
 C. B. Wilson told the other day about drunken man he once saw back in Illinois, where c. B. lived before he came here. The drunk was sitting on the courthouse steps. He was eating a big apple. Each time after he took bite he would rest the hand holding the apple on his knee. Then a fly would light on it. The drunk would look at the fly minute, then take another bite and again drop his hand to his knee, permitting the fly to come back and take his share. Ev- entually the apple was eaten away to the core. The drunk stuck the core in his mouth and dropped his empty hand hack to his knee. The fly, waiting as before, lighted on the empty hand. Then the drunk with a grin raised his other hand, stuck his thumb against his nose and twirled his fingers in derision at the disap pointed fly.

Gus Dillman had an old friend who was very sick. The doctor told him he might eat anything he wanted. He told his wife to get him some Linn burger cheese. His wife couldn't find any at the stores, so had one of the merchants order 20 pounds for her. When it came she took it all home. The old man was walking around some then, so his wife, to make it convenient for him, put some of the cheese in every room in the house. It was very distinct cheese, so there was. naturally, some aroma. Next day the doctor called and as soon as he opened the door, esked, "When did he die?"

The parents of Merle Hay, one of the first three Americans killed in the world war, will receive no insur- ance because their boy died before the war risk act became operative. The Legion of Iowa, Hays home state, has petitioned for the parents relief and Is seeking to find any other parents whose sons "died too soon."
 Michael E. Cassidy, member S the Legion post at Bisbee, Arizona, and morale officer at Camp Cody, N. M-, during the war, was last week ap- pointed, appropriately enough, pro hibition director for his arid state.
 The city election in Birmingham, Ala, may be postponed at the request of the Legion post of that city. The service men want to vote. When 8 law exempting them from poll tax was declared unconstitutional recently the men were disqualified as voters. Thirty thousand world war veterans of the state are affected.
 Evidence of the plight of unem- ployed service men was carried to cultured Boston, Mass, last week when Armand T. Gaudreau, University of Maine graduate besought the Legion employment bureau for any work he could do. Previously Gaudreau, dressed in his collegiate cap and gown, ap- peared in the streets of the banking section, selling newspapers.
 A silver reproduction of the histor- ic statue atop Castle San Angelo, Italy, mounted on a pedestal of stone from Mount Grappa, will be brought to the American Legion by General Armando Diaz, commander in chief of the Italian army when he attends the Legion convention at Kansas City in October, cable dispatches declare. To send back to her home on the Rhine the German widow of an Am erican doughboy, wearer of five battle clasps and cited for valor, the Amer ican Legion of New York is raising a fund of $250. The veteran met his bride while with the Army of Occu- patton and through illness left her practically penniless upon his recent death.

"It's all right" says Charlie Spear, who not being married doesn't know anything about it, "to let the preacher tell you after he has married you that you are all one; but if you don't want to get a frying pan busted over your head don't try to find out which of you is the one."
 Here's suggestion, and arguments backing it up, made last week in letter from a reader of The Sun. It's good, except, as Harry Henderson said the other night at the jail while waiting for a verdict from the Nash jury, "The only way you can ride in Ford is to start it on the hill and then catch it when it goes past"

 Of course you wouldn't expect any body to give you a ford, any more than you expect them to give you a house and lot. It's the furnishings you want.

peaceable exercise of this funda-
