FLAGSTAFF SHOULD HAVE COMMUNITY
 CHEST

Flagstaff should have a community chest un- der the direction of the proper persons. Drives and solicitations for this, that and the other, some worthy, some pure graft, have become bur densome to the general public during the past few years. Hundreds of "deas" have sprung in to being for which the public is asked to furnish the finances and fat jobs for the promoters The good-hearted general public have been liberal in the past and have become a real source of rev. enue for hundreds who would otherwise have to go to work. There is no one to investigate the begging claims So pitcously made There should be. Drives and solicitation for funds should first go before this body and satisfy it that their ef- forts are worthy, then donations made from the community chest.

PRECEPT AND EXAMPLE

We take it that the request made by Governor elect Hunt asking that all state officials holding their positions under an appointment of the present governor tender their resignations will be complied with. The rendering of these res ignations will allow the new governor to assume full responsibility for the success or failure of his administration during the coming two years. This is his desire and it is presumed that all will agree with him so that he will be untrammeled in his administration of the affairs of state. - Douglas International.
 While we are inclined to agree with Major Kelly as to all the appointees whose terms expire with that of the governor we are not so certain that it is for the good of the state where such ap pointments are made on boards such as the re- gents of the university, for given periods. We believe regardless of politics, that there should be an interapping of such boards in the very best interests of the public. Men thus selected are not appointed because of any salary, but be- cause of their ability and unselfiSh desire to go forward in the best interest of Arizona.
 ReWardng political heelers at the expense of the public.is nothing new. Actual ability is too seldom considered.
 It might also be pointed out that Adjutant General Harris did not resign his office, but put up a fight which tied up all state funds in 1917 of the military department of the state and let the draft go hang for funds during the rather strenuous times of the draft. The draft had to be carried on as best possible, with private and federal funds, though there were plenty of state funds lying idle because of technicalities of the law. It may have been real democratic patriot ism but the state of Arizona, which already paid, received a black eye through the indefatigable legal cuteness of Harris. Many things could have been done for the comfort of the boys drafted, had it been possible to use funds then tied up. When Hunt took over the office of governor from Campbell Harris received full back pay for time he had put in balling things up.

THE INsUBORDINATE FOWL

Hiking through the small French town, an ignorant chicken, unversed in the appetites of American darkies, crossed the road in front of a coIored detachment. With much zeal a dough- boy broke forth from the ranks and set off in pursuit.
 Halt" beloved the officer in charge. Both fowl and negro only accelerated their paces.
 Halt! Halt!" repeated the officer. The dusky doughboy made one plunge, grasped the chicken by the neck and stuffed it, still struggling, inside his shirt.
 "Dere!" he panted. "AhI learn you to halt when de captain say halt, you disobcdient bird"

SNAPPY WORK

Pete Wilkins had just entered the service and his young wife was the proudest woman in forty-eight states. She was boasting of his achievements to her brother.
 Isn't Tom wonderfuI?" she ex- claimed. "Hc's already been promOt- ed to field marshall"
 "From private to field marshal in two months."' calculated the brother. "Why that's impossible! The thing can't be did,"

It was q courtmartial, the prisoner being a rookie who was believed to have committed what was, from a mil itary point of view, serious offense, although from his angle merely a perfectly natural act.

 "'Scuse me, sir" objected Smith mildly, "Gut how as 1 to know-if l was asleep?"

CASE FOR AN EXPERT

MT. Swivel was much perturbed to find that the three pounds of meat which he had purchased for dinner had mysteriously disappeared. His wife, aiding in the search and notic- ing what she took to be a guilty look on the face of the family cat, pointed to it, and said:
 "There's the meat"
 "Why mo-" objected Swivel, "that little thing couldn't get away with three pounds of meat. Still, let's weigh her and find out"
 They did so. The scales registered an even three pounds.
 "Yes," he admitted in puzzled tones, there's the meat all right, but where's the cat?"

He was a benevolent but near sighted old gentleman, and, anyway, he had never studied up on feminine styles. She was a fair-haired mite of a girl he had encountered.

It has been suggested by property owners that when LerouX street is paved, the paving should be as strong as the paving in the downtown dis trict in order that it may hold up the heavy traf- fic through that main artery out of the city north. 1t is further suggested, if this is done the city should pay the difference in the cost over what ordinary residential district paving. would cost. It is a suggestion worthy of con- sideration for at least all the heavy traffic of the new water system would go over this street

IT IS RISKY

It is risky to hurry; it is risky to
 tarry; Singleness is risky; it is risky to
 marry; It is risky to ride; it is risky to walk; Silence is risky; it is risky to talk. It is risky to phone; it is risky to
 write; The daytime is risky, and so is the
 night; It is risky to motor; it is risky to
 fly And, by heck, it is risky for some
 folks to die!

The indications all agreed.
During the morning and after
noon the "bets" were all lost,
and the house was winning; but
from O'Clock in the evening an
undreamed-of fortune smiled on
the players. The statistics could
not be clearer; there was no pos
sible doubt. And Castro would
renounce the excellent food of
villa-Sirena. satisfied with a
glass of beer and a sandwich at
the bar. Then at midnight he
would return in a hired carriage,
paying the astonished driver
with prodigality. At other times
he would stand in front Of the
gate fishing in his pockets to get
together enough to pay for the
cab.
This lack of orderly habits
among his guests made Toledo
lament once more the scarcity
of servants, for they got up late
in the morning whenever they
sat UP and waited at night. For
that reason the colonel felt the
same satisfaction as the gov
ernor OF q fortress who sees all
the posterns locked and feels the
keys in his pocket the nights
when all the companions Of the
prince were present. After din
ner they would listen to Spa
doni. Seated at a grand piano,
he would play according to his
mood or according to the wishes
Of the prince.
Castro. who was himself q
pianist, at times was unable to
hide his enthusiasm at the won
derfui execution of the virtuoso.
