The New Born AutOist

Under a spreading chestnut TIE,
A stubborn auto stands,
And John, all angry man is Ii,
With trouble on his hands.
He fuses softly to himself
And crawls beneath the ear,
And wonders why it didn't bust
Before he got so far.
The carburetor seems to be
The cause of all its woe;
H tightens half a dozen bolts,
But still it doesn't go.
And then lie tries the ssteerins
gear
But finds no trouble there.
Till with perspifation
He quits i'll sheer despair.
He squats beside the road to give
His brain chance to COOL.
Aud popders on his training
In correspondence school.
And then he starts the job again,
Until by chance it's seen
The cause of all the trouble is,
He's out of gasoline. Exchange

Left Path Of Apple Trees

Detroit, Sept. 4.-Eccentric
habits and a nickname have for
years obscured a great service to
ne nation, performed by John
{ hapman between 1903 and his
Icath in 1847. From the time
lie was % years old Chapman car
ried out his chosen life work
with a fidelity and thoroughness
worthy of a high place in the
role of individual achievement.
Johnny Appleseed,' as he be-
came known, conceived the idea
of advancing with the westward
edge of civilization, planting 'r-
chards as he crept forward with
the nations development. Wien
he began his work Pittsburgh
was the outpost of settled COM
munities.
Before his death johnny APP
pleseed' saw trees he had planted
bearing fruit on 10000 acres.
Recognition of his service to the
economic resources of the coun-
try has been limited. Born in
New England he died at Fort
Wayne. where measures have
been taken to perpetuate his
memory.

SURE THEY KNOW

There is a merchant in our town Who thinks he's wondrous wise; He scoffs at those who spend hard Their goods to advertise. He mocks the ad man to his face. You're talking through your hat, Cause everybody everywhere
 Knows where my store is at!" Of course most people vaguely know That Jones conducts store Out of the beaten path where goes The cream of trade no more. But what he sells ji his small place What goods he mas on shelf They cannot say, because old Jones Keeps that all to himself! And that is why the blinded man Has troubles now, and woe, And why his sales are less than they
 were
 Some twenty years ago. Sure everybody knows where Jones Sits glum in his easy chair. They also know where the graveyard
 is,
 But they are not flocking there!

MIME. GENY WAS A
 FRENCH WAR BRIDE

Mime. Mathilde Geny has demon strated that it is possible to make a success of beauty parlor in Flag staff; but then, the charming young French matron went at it in the right way, first by taking thorough course in beauty technique and hair dressing at one of the leading eastern beauty institutes, then by fitting up her offices in the Babbitt block in . most artistic and thorough manner,
 There are numerous lavatories, two hair-dressing booths, electric hair dryer and other contrivances that the writer can't qualify even to name, and two manicure tables. Everything is as clean as can be.
 Associated with Mime. Geny is Mrs. R. T. Scott, whose husband is connect ed with the Orpheum. Mrs. Scott is a manicurist. The patronage is limi- ted strictly to women.
 Mime. Geny is a native of France, and lived in Nancy all during the war; so had great deal of war experience, that city being one of those especial ly selected by the Germans for their most assiduous attentions. But the young woman found life in Nancy not so uncomfortable after the arrival of the American troops and with them James Mahoney. Because there fol- lowed an ardent courtship, then mar riage, then the trip back past the statue of liberty, and the brides first view of her husbands native land. MT: and Mrs. Mahoney came here several months ago. He is an engineer with the Southern California Edison com pany on the. Colorado river. She is Mime Mathilde Geny only in the beauty parlor.

 Two Flagstaff people were arguing recently about some ginger ale they had just drunk. One insisted that she paid only $1.50 for a case of two dog en bottles, the other that no such gin- ger ale as that could be bought for such low price. The latter said it was the equal of any imported ginger ale costing 40 to 50 cents a bottle. They called up Frank E. Brooks to verify the price of the ginger ale, it being some of his fine product that was under discussion. They were as- sured that the price was $1.50 case. The difference between it and the cost of imported or eastern ginger ale is merely the freight cost to the Pacific coast and back here.

STILL CAN'T GET ALONG
 WITHOUT THE SUN

Whitewater, Wis, Nov. 15, 1921. Col. F. s. Breen,
 Flagstaff, Arizona.
 Dear Mir. Breen:-Enclosed find check for $3.10 for which please send the "Sun" for another year as we find we can't get along without it yet. Though it has been three years since we left Flag. we still like to keep in touch with the good people we knew there. The 10c is for an extra copy of the Sun for Nov. 4th as we acci- dently destroyed ours and I want some of the information contained in that issue about the early development of the county. I am still working on my thesis about the Flagstaff region. I hope you have an extra copy left so you can send us one as it was very interesting and valuable to me in ny work.
 We are all we'll and enjoying an early Wisconsin winter, the ground being covered with snow and real win ter temperature prevailing.
 Best regards to you and Mrs. Breen and all our Flag. friends.
 Sincerely yours, 127 Graham avenue.

THEY'RE STILL WOIFING ABOUT
 KNOXVILLE" AND FRED DOG"

Mir. Wolf, "The Old Cattleman." Warning should accompany the refer ence however, for if the editor of the Phoenix paper should still remain skeptical and express himself so, he might find himself in the predicament a tramp encountered at the hands of MT. Wolf some years ago.
 This particular tramp had visited the little home of Jim Wolf and had, after breaking into it, appropriated e choice assortment of edibles. Among the food articles were some eggs and meat. Wolf returned short time af- terward and viewed the remains of his well-stocked larder. He proceed ed to investigate and after a short time rounded up the tramp. The wan derer denied that he had entered the place and denied, moreover, that he l had appropriated anything from the house. Wolf, however, had his own code of determining the guilt of the tramp. He searched the man and dis covered some of his food. He then tied a rope around the tramp's neck and proceeded to carry out sentence of hanging. When the mans tongue was hanging out and he was losing consciousness, he agreed to confess his guilt. He was released, told his story and was permitted to go.
 If the foregoing does not convince the editor of the Republican as to the identity of "Wolfville" he is certainly beyond the pale and hopeless.-Bisbee Review.
The Coconino sun., 1921-11-25

Alfred Henry Lewis, in his famous stories of Wolfville has created end less discussion as to the exact loca- tion of the two important points in the series - "Wolfville" and "Red Dog" The latest discussion arose by reason of the filing of dispatch from Tombstone along the wires of the As sociated Press to the effect that the former site of "Wolfville," better known as Charlestown to the present day dwellers in Cochise county, had been sold to a cattle company. It was the esteemed editor of the Arizona Republican that questioned the pro- priety of the name being given Charlestown.
 That Charlestown was "Wolfville" and Tombstone "Red Dog" can be verified by any number of people who are still alive and who live in Cochise county. They recognize the refer ences in the "stories" of the author to one place or another. In the first place the character, "The Old Cattle man," still lives within few miles of Charlestown. His name is James Wolf. Lewis spoke of the ore wa gons making their way from "Red Dog" to "Wolfville" and of making the journey from "Wolfville" to "Red Dog" and the performance witnessed in the Bird Cage of the latter place.
 If the editor of the Republican is still unconvinced of the matter, we suggest that he interview our friend
