WIFE SAYS HUSBAND TOOK BANKS MONEY
 TO SAVE HER LIFE

Mrs. J. Allen Battle, young wife of a former Duncan, Ariz., bank cashier, will go to Washington in the hope of saving her husband from prison. Bat tie was sentenced in federal court to serve six months for embezzlement.
 The wife of Battle expects to get an audience with President Harding through Carter Glass, former secre- tary of the treasury, and an old friend of her family in Virginia. She de- clares that her husband took $1100 from a bank at Clifton, Ariz., while cashier there, to permit her to under go an operation which probably saved her life. She says her husband later confessed to the bank officials and paid back what he had taken.

BIG IRON COMPANY TO DE-
 VELOP ORES ON RESERVE

Holbrook Tribune publishes in an- other column an article with reference to the Southern Pacific railway ac- quiring iron possessions in western Ar izona, said to aggregate over half a billion tons of hematite iron ore. The article states that this latter acquire ment is the Hast remaining ores in the southwest" The latter statement is untrue, according to reports from men capable to judge. Southwest of Holbrook, on the Apache Indian reser- vation, there is said to exist one of the largest bodies of hematite iron ore that the country possesses.
 The property referred to is now un- dergoing investigation and acquire ment by one of the greatest iron ore producing companies in the world. Several thousands of dollars were ex- pended upon the properties, making surveys, etc, last fall, and we are told that during the coming spring the ter ritory will be perforated with diamond drill holes to determine the extent of the hematite iron ore body.
 It has been figured out by this com pany that they will be able, without uilHCuity to sHlp Out tiiiouSu iioiDIoOh at least 200 cars of the ore per day. They have gone so far as to make es- inmates on the cost of branch rail- way from Snowflake to the reserva- tion, about 60 miles to the southwest, and we are told that these figures have been determined. The cost of the road will be about $3,000,000.
 The branch line would take them right to the properties, and the ore could be loaded mechanically into the cars for shipment. The Apache rail road would take them to the junction of that line with the Santa Fe railroad at Holbrook, from whence they would go east.
 From what the editor of the Hol- brook Tribune can learn, it is expected that the work referred to will be start ed early this spring, as preparations to that end have been practically ar ranged. With the carrying out of the project, Holbrook will be the center of great activity, and the continuous shipment of these iron ores through the town will add very important asset and mean great prosperity to the community.
 Doubtless the fact, as stated in the other article referred to in this issue, coming from the United States geo. logical survey, that lore in the Lake and Mesaba district cannot last much beyond 1930," is the cause for the big iron concerns being so anxious to se- cure any available and extensive iron ore deposits in the country. They evil dently forsee the outcome, and it is evident that there will be little delay in developing the large bodies secured throughout the southwest, including the one near Holbrook.

CENTRAL BANK OF PHOE-
 NIX CLOSES ITS DOORS

When patrons of the institution went to the Central Bank of Phoenix Monday morning they found a sign on the door saying the bank voluntarily had suspended, and would go into the hands of the state auditor. Loans on cotton, which cannot be realized under existing conditions, are believed to be responsible for the failure of the bank. The December report of the state au- ditor showed the bank to have $621,- 883.80 in bills payable. $2,448,176.43 in deposits, with cash on hand and due from other banks of $658, ,262. 95; loans and discounts of $2,254, ,655.98. It has a capital stock of $100,000.

REPORT SHEEP THIEVES
 BUSY IN MAYER DISTRICT

Sheep men of the Mayer district are l hoping that the old story of little Bo Peep, whose sheep came back drag ging their tails behind them. will be repeated for their benefit soon.
 So far nothing has happened ex- cept mysterious disappearance of sheep from the focks of various wool growers of this district. The tli- umphant return of the lost sheep has still to be staged.
 According to one of the herders whose flock is short number of sheep the animals disappeared in the follow ing manner:
 A pair of strange riders appeared suddenly where the sheep were graz ing. Riding at full speed through the flock they dispersed the animals into small groups. While the herder was busy gathering together his scattered flock, the strange riders were any thing but anxious to help him. On the contrary, when the herder had his sheep all in one flock again he found several of the animals had forgotten, or had been encouraged to forget, to come back.
 Complaints were made to the for est ranger about the disappearance of the sheep, but since the matter was but of his official sphere of duty he could take no direct action to clear up the matter.
 The sheriff's office was then notified and deputy sheriff, accompanied by oAe of the sheep herders, searched two ranches in the vicinity of Mayer. No evidence was discovered, however, except that the sheep rustlers had evi- dently tried to throw suspicion on an innocent man by driving the stolen animals up to his gate and then talk ing an entirely different route to parts unknown,
 So the sheep are still missing, though suspicion as to who made off with them is plentiful enough.

EXTRACTS FROM SECRETARY WALLACE'S STATEMENT

While the farmer is selling the things he produces at prices no higher, and, for great surplus crops, lower than the pre-war normal, he must buy practically everything he needs at prices from 50 to 150 per cent above the pre-war normal. The severe agri- cultural depression is inevitable as long as such condition exists, and this depression will certainly be com municated to industry and business generally.
 It is a terrible indictment of our modern civilization when this great country is in the period of what al- most might be called economic chaos because of our great surplus food SUD- ply, while across the seas, in both di- rections, almost half the world is suf- fering for want of food.
 It is time for every man who can help to take hold. As in the days when we dragged our fire engines by hand to the scene of the fire and every good citizen rushed out and took hold of the long rope and did his bit, so we must do now.
 We can not hope to reach normal conditions until we arrive on a price level which will be fair to all our peo- pie and all products. Farm products must come up in price and other prod ucts come down until the normal rela- tion between them has been restored.
 This talk of bringing prices, wheth- CT farm prices or other prices, back to the pre-war normal is morally wrong and economically impossible. We in- cured heavy national debt on the inflated prices. If we could force all prices back to the pre-war normal (which we can not) it would be equiv alent to just about doubling that debt. We can pay off our debts much easier if we maintain price level more nearl ly the level at which tie debts were incurred.
 We will get through this. period. The nation is not going tankrupt. The farmers are not going bankrupt. Neither are they going 10 lie down on their job. Gradually farm prices will be brought into fair relation with other prices and we will go ahead hit ting on all cylinders.
 We are the best producers in the world, but our sales system is very bad, indeed. We must study every thing which influences both produc- tion and price.

ONE OF LIES TRAGEDIES

Every summer ] had gone to the
same place to camp and SO became
quite well acquainted with the few
old Indians who remained on the
reservation given to them, instead of
working by themselves among white
people.
One winter had been especially
hard on these people and many OF
them had persisted. So when sum
mer came there was only one old
squaw and the chief remaining in
the home they loved so well.
Bright Star, the chief, had always
been a very strong man, but was
overcome by the disease so dreaded
by this race. Aiuta, his wife, on re-
turning home after fishing, found
her chieftain dead Although having
been nearly blind for years, she
picked up the body, put it in the In
dian canoe and slowly but silently
she padded ghost-like through the
gray mist out to the deep, calm wa
ters of the Pacific. A few days later
an Indian canoe came drifting idly
in and beached itself on the yellow
sands.

the big brick school house. Her hair
made the bricks look very dull in
deed, it was so fiery Tears rolled
down over the little freckled face,
dimming the pale blue eyes so that
they could hardly see the gay group
before them. There she stood in her
faded blue calico, her little hands
clasped neyously, shunted and IN
noticed. But presently there seemed
disturbance among the happy chill
dren, something had gone wrong
Everyone was looking about in
search of something that no one
seemed to be able to see until with
a joyous cry, a little girl said, 4

little child, she whispered, Wont

PULLMAN DRUBs CoLFAX

Coach Gaiser's hoopsters displayed
better teamwork and basket shoot
ing and took Colfax into camp, 30
3, in Boiler gym last Friday. The
game closed the basket ball season
for Pullman high school.
The local quintet had just got
back from the tournament and the
men were pretty stale. The game
started rather slowly, with Cannon
dropping in a long one. Little scor-
ing was done by either team in the
first half, because both teams
were somewhat lost on the large
floor. The visitors were held to one
lone field goal this first half, while
the local quintet dropped in five
field goals and made one free throw,
which made the score 11-2 in our
favor at the half way point.
The second half was faster, with
the basket being located more &C
curately by the local bunch. Each
side made four fouls this half and
the visitors tried vainly to score but
could not work the ball past our
defense. McKarcher led the scor-
ing for the local team. making a to-
tai of eight field goals. This was
the last game that Vosburg and Me
Karcher will play for Pullman high
school. Colfax was again held to
one field goal in this half. The
game ended 29-9.
