There has been d veritable chorus of praise for "If Winter Comes" a deeply moving novel written by an English author. A. $. M. Hutchinson. There were lot Of things about If Winter Comes" that we did not like, but they were overbalanced by the qualities of the book that place t in the front rank of current fiction. l. is about the best English novel since Mir. Wells analysed the effects of the war on a single individual in his "Mr Britling Sees It Through. Mir. Hut crimson has written pages of badly chcwed grammar. and other pages of lofty, exquisite prose. His chief char acter. not 10 mention others. Is splen- didly drawn That the structure of the story is rather arbitrary fiction does not seem to matter in the face of the almost universal commendation which this book has received on both sides of the Atlantic It is well worth reading.

FOSSIL BEDS OF LARGE AREA DISCOVERED BY SPORTSMAN

w. A. Rutter, one of tht staunch friends of the Fun Company, while hunting fol deer and turkey this week, discovered a very large fos- sil bed. The important bear ing which this geological feature has on the oil field so excited MT. Rutter that he forgot the original pur- pose of his trip and gave all his time to tracing the ex- tent of the deposit. Literal ly hundreds of acres in area and from 12 to IA feet in depth is a very conservative estimate. Bill found shells of one kind or another buri- ed in both shale and lime, and that he is no toreador is proven by the samples he brought with him.

BONDS THAT YIELD MORE THAN
 10 PERCENT
Staple Issues That HaUe Been
 Overlooked

General advice is no ad- vice at all. What investors want is specified particulars. The stockmarket has now recorded about three weeks of advancing prices, and though prices in general are above recent quotations, there are still some issues which have not been favor ed. The stability in their prices is not indicative of unattractiveness; rath CT does it prove that investors prefer following a leader to being the pioneer.
 We refer to bonds like the following:
 Price Yield Cuba Cane Is 1880. :. 62 12OOper c Chinese Railway 5s, 1851 49 1O.7O .. Italian 6as, 1925. ... S9 1000 '' St.Louis & San Francisco,
 Inc, 6s, 1850 60 10 40 (" Sinclair Consolidated Oil
 Co. E per cent, 1925 99 9.6S !"
 The Bonds suggested above are all highly secured with the possible exception of the Cuba Cane Is. This Bond. however, should soon begin to reflect the improving financial condition, not only of the company, but of Cuba as we'll. An investor who purchases this list should be well able to sit back and feel that he is receiving an average yield of 10. 54 per cent on his investment and in addition the future should hold substantial enhancement in price. writes Sugarman's lndi- cator.

 How can man die better, than facing fearful odds
 For the ashes of his fath- CTS, the temples of his gods?"

L. D. s. CHURCH PLANS

During the coming winter the L, D. S. Church have mapped out many g o o d times for the younger people.
 The purchase of a good piano is an item which will add materially to their completion. Incidentally fin-

 Tomorrow morning the ladies of the church will have on display in the windows of the meat markets in own a varied, and knowing their reputation as cooks we feel justified in saying full lassort- ment of baked and cooked foods. Patronage worthy of the product will undoubt- ly be accorded.
 Saturday evening, start ing at eight o'clock, a dance will be held in the church. The music will be furnished by the best of the local tal- ent, the refreshments will be l.. D. s. standard, and if the attendants do not enjoy themselves, well-----? A mo- minal charge of 50 cents is being made, and no sane person will grudge this a. mount.

NEW BABBITT STORE AND
 TAEATRE AT GRAND CANYON

Babbitt Brothers have ob' tained a 20.year concession from the U. s. government for store and amusement privileges at Grand Canyon, and Albert c. Martin, of Los Angeles, the architect who designed the Flagstaff post office building, is drawing the plans. The building will be two stories high, of stone, but neither the size nor the exact location is known at the local Babbitt offices. P. J. Moran said that he believ- ed David Babbitt ST., who is now on the coast, knows the details, but they had not been decided upon until re- gently, waiting for the ver- dict of the landscape engi- neers in charge of Grand Canyon National park inn provements.
 The new building will in-| clude mercantile rooms and a theatre, the latter to be- used mostly for moving pie lures. It is likely that a re- frigerating plant will be in- stalled. The details are be- ing worked out by George A. Spellmire, of Williams, who has general charge of the plans. .-Coconino Sun.

IS HOLBROOK TO BE CENTRE
 OF AN ARTIST COLONY?

If the enthusiasm of Carl Eytel is any criterion it will be.
 One of our most interest ing visitors last week was MT Carl Eytel of Palm Spr- ings, Cal. Mr. Eytel has spent nearly all his life in the study and depletion of desert scenes. That his la- bors have not been in vain we quote the following from the Pasadena Star. Speak ing of a collection exhibited at the Shakespeare club at Pasadena. reference is made to some of his Arizona com- positions as follows, ''Even- ing in the Desert" with the color note of dominance in the rose hazed mountains, clear against the sky, turn ing from gold to a delicate turquoise green of faintest hue, is another pictorial and thechnical gem. Like the other paintings, this is one which catches and holds the eye and attention by the ar engagement of the composing masses of light and shadow as we'll as hill and plain, with the characteristic d e s e r { palms in the left fore ground"
 Pride in ones work is na- tural, and when that work is sufficiently meritorious to warrant recognition by one of the greatest common wealths which is part and parcel of this great country, the average man will freely advertise this fact. Only by dint of much questioning were we able to learn that a scene representing a part of the desert, showing wild palms with a distant view of snow clad mountains, h a s been used as a mural decor ation in the State Capitol at Sacramento, Cal.
 No small feather in MT. Eytefs cap was the award of the decoration of George Wharton James book "The Wonders of the Colorado Desert.

SHELL OUT SURPLUS

The fact that so many people are
out Of employment because of the
hard times and the tight money mar
ket has started an investigation by
some of our statesmen at Washington
to know the reason why. The start
ling fact shown that a billion doll
ars in surplus gold which might be
used to relieve the situation is lying
idle in the vaults of the Treasury De.
partment.
Senator Smith, of South Carolina,
has been doing some investigating
along this line and he makes this
startling disclosures
I'VE are in the midst of one of
the worst panics perhaps in our his
tory, while We have an oversupplv
of money lying unused in the vaults
of the Federal Reserve Board which
we created for just such contin-
gency as this
According to Senator Smith there
is no excuse for the situation and
to correct it he has in preparation a
bill which will provide that whenever
surplus exists in excess of legal
requirements the Federal Reserve
Banks shall lower their interest rates
accordingly.

WISE AND NEEDED
LEGISLATION

Congressman Seigel, of New York,
has introduced resolution in Con-
gress under the terms of which kid
mapping of children would be fed
eral offcnse and punished by death.
In view of the increase of this crime
in large cities such a law as this pro
posed by Mr.. Scigel is commendablc.
Kidnapping is one of the most in
famous and cruel crimcs-a
crime usually perpctrated to extort
money from parents of the child that
is stolen.
Instances of the illtreatmcnt of
Kidnapped children, of the anguish of
parents and relatives would indicate
that the death penalty would not be
too severe punishment for this vicious
and unreasonable outrage upon the
innocent and unoffending child and
parent.
