OLD SOL BLAMED FOR FIRE CAUSED
 BY CIGAR SPARK

mysterious happening at Center and Adams street yesterday after noon nearly caused a general exodus from Phoenix in the belief that the heat had reached the danger stage. Had. there been a crowd in the inn mediate vicinity a panic might even have ensued, but as it was, great consternation was created, only to die down when an amateur Sherlock Holmes summoned the powers of de- duction and explained away the re- markable occurrence.
 It was d-afternaon, and the sun was literally beating down on the corner upon which stood a woman holding parasol over her head A few feet away a little group of men stood in a cigar store, talking idly. On the wall of the cigar store hung a huge thermometer. its mercury registering well over 100. Everyone in town was prepared to admit it was hot.
 Suddenly the attention of every man, woman and child in the street was attracted by a sudden squirt oi flame and smoke on the corner. Ii was the parasol of the woman, ig- nited mysteriously and without ap- 1 parent cause The woman dropped ii with a little shriek and there was 8 rush to extinguish the blaze. Immediately the little crowd thai had gathered began to form its the ories. All were sure the fire had beer caused by spontaneous combustion that the heat of the suns rays ha6 set fire to the fabric of what most oi those present called an umbrella"

Nearly every grain grower at the mass meeting held Saturday night in the Y. NJ. C. A. stadium signed the agreement to pool grain to be sold under the direction of a central com mittee appointed by the association. By signing the agreement the grow CTS became members of the Arizona Farm Bureau Grain Growers associ- ation.
 Under the agreement the signer agrees to place his grain in a perma- nent pool, to be sold under the direc- ton of a centralized sales agency. and after all the grain in the pool has been sold he will receive a pro- rata per bushel of the total sale of the pool The centralized committee will endeavor to stabilize the sale of grain and the market SO that the best prices possible will be obtained. Un- der this plan the association hopes to be able to market grain for the growers at a small cost.
 The plan and agreements were read to the mass meeting by c. J. Elliott | counsel for the association, who drew up the agreement. Two forms oi agreement were presented. The first
 was for the permanent pool and was signed by men who are not forced te sell their grain at once because ol | financial distress. but can place 1t 1T a permanent pool to be sold at a latel date. The second form of agreement
 was for the growers who must sel their grain at once. This grain vii not be placed in a permanent poo

Perspiring hands are the cause of much annoyance to the home as well as the business woman. They are expensive. too. for they ruin more gloves than the average woman can afford to buy in a year.
 A simple means of overcoming the excess perspiration. unless the cause is some deep-seated physical disorder. is the hot bath. Dip the palms of your hands into very hot water and after drying them rub them with 6 little boracic acid powder.
 Alternate baths of hot and cold are also good. Put the palms in wa

 A little girl. accompanied by her mother, was watching the gold fish in the fountain at the city hall plaza last Saturday. She frequently turned to her mother for explana- tions concerning the members of the finny tribe Finally she noted one quite different from the rest

 Even Chickens Drink Liquor
 Recently Dad" Rudd, constable al Glendale, made a raid on a maker of illicit intoxicating liquors and seized among other things several gallons of cracked corn mash. The officer wishing to use the mash as evidence carted it to his home in Glendale and stored it in a shed in his chicken yard. Then the constable well pleased with his days work went into his house to rest.

On December 2, young home
steader, Annie Killie, was found
murdered in her shack near Fort
Pierre. A young man of the neigh
borhood named Aurelius Bowen
was arrested for the crime. He
had several trials thereafter, and
was finally sent to the penitent-
iary. The evidence was entirely cir
cumstantial, and for years the
crime was a constant subject of
conversation in the county. In one
way and another it cut some figure
in one or two political campaigns.

JOHNNY GET YOUR GUN

Something has happened in the
coal market. The city contract has
resulted in only four cars being
shipped in many weeks, but all of
sudden the city gets notice that
four ears are shipped within six
days and at the same time gets a
request from other dealers at the
docks soliciting orders for imme-
diate shipment Maybe the opera
tors in the east are getting fearful
of congressional action. Certainly
congress ought to continue TO
frame legislation to the end that
some of the guilty parties should
Nbe shot, who are responsible for
forcing people of this section to
pay twenty dollars a ton for soft
coal. Really somebody shold be
killed as a future warning to
others who might attempt this
kind of robbery. We have never
used a gun to kill any living thing
except firing one shot forty years
ago. We should, however, be
pleased to take big game license
to serve on firing squad to exter-
inmate some of the high jinks who
have manipulated the fuel market

higher less car load rate. Here
.tofore the $4,000 pound minimum
on this commodity prohibited the
jobber from taking advantage of
the carload rate since it was next
to impossible to distribute enough
-four in one town at one time to
make if profitable to make a car
load shipment, whereas with the
10000 minimum they can put the
commodity in the territory at the
car load rating instead of using
the less carload rate which is con-
higher.
In other words, if they have
$4,000 pounds of flour for one
town, they can have it moved und-
er the carload rating and put it in
the town at a less transportation
cost than by making several less
carload shipments at the higher
rate.

NEW MINIMUM CAR WEIGHT

Local merchants will be inter-

prevailing high rate of shipping

been maintained up to August l,

Last Homestead In Kingsbury
County Is Proved Up

AS we travel over the state, it is
hard to realize that much Of the
land in South Dakota east of the
Missouri river has been homestead
ed within the present generation.
Bountiful crops and fnc improve
mcnts do not hint of pioneer days.
Much of it looks as settled and es-
tablished as Illinois or Iowa. Yet
our whole state is very new. Iii
fact it was just forty years old
the other day, and in some Of the
counties east of the river there is
still considerable acrcags of gov
ernment land, most cf which is
rough or swampy in character, of
course.
We were reminded of the fact
that South Dakota is . ve,y NV
state by the following item from
the Kingsbury County Independent
which came under our eye this
week:
Martin Olson, of Spirit Lake
township, was in the city Monday
and made final proof on his home
steaed south of Spirit Lake. The
tract of land consisted of ten ac-
res, the last government land in
Kingsbury county.
I'VE are not informed as to how
the tract escaped attention for 50
many years. Mr.. Olson filed on it
April 10, 1919, and coiainuted Mon

A BIT OF GOOD ADVICE.

One of our Haakon county bank
ers relieved himself of his feelings
and at the same time gave bit of
good advice in the following re-
marks one day this week.
Don't take your money out of
the bank and bury it. Skunks and
squirrels or dogs will dig it up
and destroy it. Don't put it In
your stocking because you can put
your stockings to better use by
wearing them. Don't wrap it up
in an old newspaper or an old rag
and hide it in the corneer, because
rats will surely get hold of it and
destroy it. The house is no place
for your money anyway. Burglars
get it and carry it off and you la
ment your foolishness in taking it
out of the bank. If you want to
invest your money let it stay in
the bank-if it is there. All this
drawing out of the bank and
boarding it contracts the currency
and produces a stringency in the
money market. The time may be
the best imaginable and all the
wise legislation conceivable adopt
ed, yet a panicky feeling can be
suddenly started by concert Of
action. on the part of people in
withdrawing their deposits from
the bank.

MAIL ORDER HOUSES IN -.
ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN

If our readers here in Haakon
county are being deluged with
cataIogs of mail order houses, it
| is only a foretaste of what is to
leone. At a recent meeting of dir
ectorS of the largest mail order
concerns an appropriation for ad-
yertisin was made for the coming
year that just doubled the appro-
priatlon of any former twelve
months. It's nearest competitor in
the field has let a contract for a
catalogue that will contain five
hundred more pages than any cat
aloguo Of it's kind ever before pub
lished.
These facts merely show what is
on. The mail order houses believe
that that they nave caught the country
MERCHANT with high priced goods
on is shelves. They turn their
stocks very rapidly and expect to
unload and turn more rapidly with
the advertising campaign they
have on. Taking advantage of the
falling markets, they mean to cut
the ice from under the country
merchant if they can. Not only do
they expect to gain a temporary
advantage while prices are falling
but they mean to hold it if they
can when a normal basis has been
reached.
We are in the advertising busi-
ness, but waiVing that, we submit
that there is only one way for the
Philip merchant to meet these fell
lows and that is to give more at
tention to advertising during the
coming year. Now don't simply
come up to the Pioneer-ReviewI
office and give an order space,
and let it go at that. 1t is we'll
enough to increase space, and we
are Interested in that. but that is
not enough. The space should be
intelligently filled. Prices should
be quoted. Bargains should be
played un~streng. In a word, the
people should be told what you
have to sell. Think it over. Make
your resolutions for the new year
We will he glad to consider it
with you.
