Stray Baggage Always
Has Most Vaiuabies.

New York. Every trunk
that's lost contains diamonds,
necklaces and all that" said the
baggage man ut the Grand Cen
trail terminal. That is. they're
supposed to. Anxious pasSen-
gers whose trunks have been
sidetracked tell us of all he
wonderful things they contain.
But the funny thing is that
when the trunks are finally
located it's usually found that
dresses, shirts and things of
that nature were about all that
were in them after all. Many
of those who reclaim their stray
trunks tell us so themselves.
Examination proves 1t in other
cases. 1t just goes to show that
the loser always exaggerates his
losses"

Having Enough
Not Too Much

Enough is what we want
sufficient is what we ought to
have, as the small boy remarked
about the cake. 1t is always
the other fellow who has too
much. We are never guilty in
that line.
There has been a lot Of preach
ing about indulgence in luxury
during the last few years and
every one of US could point to
the eXtravagant practices of the
other fellow. But some way
our own practices were never
eXtravagant-weha had justenough
luxury; the other fellow had
too much.
Perhaps it is a good thing that
the world is made up just as it
is. We all think we could i'm
prove it, but maybe we'd make
a mess Of it, SO instead of try
ing to fit everyone to our size
coat, let US acknowledge that
there are other size coats needed.
1t will be hard for most of us
because We know we are right
yet it's worth trying. The old
world is getting back on an
even keel, and she'll soon be
sailing ahead at just about the
proper speed. We are recover
ing from our seasickness caused
by the heavy going; so are the
rest of the people. We can al
low ourselves enough of the
good things of the world-bnt
not too much. Then there will
be enough for all. .-Ex.

Time Extended for Payment
Of Grazing Fees On Forests

Congressman Carl Hayden has
sent us word that the bill ex-
tending the time of payment of
grazing fees on National For
ests, and which passed the
Senate on Aug. 18th, passed the
House and became a law on
Aug. Oath. The extension of
time is from the 1st day Of Sep
tembers 1921, to the 1st day of
December, 1921.
On account of the unusual
financial distress among the live
stock growers using the Ma
tional Forests for grazing pur-
poses last year, was one of the
reasons advocated for the bill;
also, due to the unusually dry
spring throughout most of the
west, cattle and sheep were not
in their usual condition for
marketing as early as in normal
years. This will result, since
the extension of time has been
given, in a large marketing of
stock after Sept. l, which will
make it possible for the stock
men to have funds available to
pay the deferred grazing fees.

Examination for Postmaster

At the request of the Post
master General, the U. S. Civil

an open competitive examina-

to fill the position of postmaster
in towns in the various states.
Snowflake comes under the head
of towns for a new postmaster,
and, we are informed, John
Murray, who has so efficiently
and satisfactorily held this posi-
tion in Snowflake for the past
seven years, will take the eX-
examination, and it is doubtful
if there will be any other appli-
cants for the job. The exami-
nation will be before the assist
ant postmaster in Holbrook.

The voice of the conscience of the nation
speaks in the work of this author. In
A Man for the Ages" his great narra-
tive of the growth of democracy in which
Abraham Lincoln is the chief character,
he has written his best and biggest, most
competing novel. wonderful theme in
which others might have failed, Mr.. Bach
eller has succeeded because of his famil-
iarity with the fundamentals of American
life-American life as it is exemplified by
appealing picture of Lincoln and Of the
times beginning somewhat before the
middle of the last century and extending
to about 1860, that has ever been penned.
Aside from its interest as a novel and its
value as a document of Americanism, 1t is
a distinct contribution to literature en-
bodying human nature and human inter-
est. "a Man for the Ages" will soon start
as a serial in this paper and you are
exhorted not to miss a line of it.

Half Million For Arizona
'StOckmen Asked From Pool

M. |. Powers. president of the
Arizona Central Bank, who re-
turned yesterday by way of
Kingman from Phoenix, says
that the purpose of the $780,
600, 600 livestock pool is not to
make capital loans but to loan
money to those who need it who
have sufficient security. Many
of the investors in the pool know
nothing of the livestock indus
try. If the money in the pool
is safely placed it will be much
easier to get money in the flu
ture when it is needed by the
stockmen. The Stockgrowers
Finance Corporation, Of Chi
cago, which is handling the
pool, aims to deal sympatheti-
cally with the stockmen, but at
the same time conservatively.
The Arizona committee for
handling the business of the
pool in this state, at Phoenix
on Tuesday, passed favorably
on applications of Arizona stock
men for nearly $500, 1000 from
the pool. The applications were
forwarded to Chicago for final
action.
MIR. Powers advises that all
applications should be m d e
through a bank and should be
addressed to the nearest mem
Der of the Arizona board accom-
panied by a statement showing
clearly the financial condition of
the applicant, especially relating
to quick assets, valued at pres
ent market prices. Statement

three years; classified sale of
cattle; number, grade, class
and condition, verified by an in
spector, of stock on range and
condition of range; check for
one. tenth of l per cent of amount

dental expenses of the advisory
committee.

advisory committee are: M. /.
