wedding day. They were married Dec.
rs, 1872, by John w. Whittet, justice

daughter and son-in-law, Mr.. and Mrs
Gus Wentler, the day was remembered
by gathering of relatives, neighbors
and friends who came to congratulate
MIR. and Mrs. Goldthorpe and to wish
them many happy returns of the day.
An excellent wild duck dinner with
everything else to go with it was serv-
ed to about fifty guests. In the even
ing partY~was given in the hall at
Sumner. There were games. dances,
old and new, and refreshments were
served. A purse was presented to the
guests of honor, 500 in gold. The
Rev. D. G. Coach, pastor of the P. M.
church, was the spokesman of the
guests and in their behalf offered con-
CALCULATIONS and many good wishes.
Mr.. and Mrs. Goldthorpe are among
the few of the old settlers still living.
Mrs. Goldthoroe's maiden name was
Maria Scott. Mr.; Goldthorpe has one
sister living, Grandma Tall, who makes
her home in Edgerton. George Gold
thorpe of Sumner, John Goldthorpe of
Rock Prairie, Mrs. Gus Wentler, and
Mrs. Ostler of Chicago are the children
of the jubilants (three sons have been
removed by death), and there are four
grandchildren. Mr. and Mrs. Gold
thorpe are hale and hearty, though past
the three score and ten limit. They are

Christmas i'm Giving.

The spirit of giving, of feeling that
you have shared with all in doing some
thing for those who needed help, cheer
and the touch of the gentle Christ
child, as it is expressing itself in COM
munity efforts, is growing in vitality
and sincerity in country and town. AS
far as we have been able to ascertain,
there is not home nor child in Ed
gerton this Christmas that was not re-
membersd in some way. From the
high school % baskets were sent out,
each containing potatoes, a vegetable,
canned vegetables and fruit, bread, ap-
Piles, four-pound beef roast, pound
of coffee and two pounds of sugar. The
churches sent baskets similarly filled to
needy families belonging to them, and
the fraternal organizations and the XII
wants club did likewise, each in their
own way. In the organization of the
charity work, Miss Smart, the city
nurse, has been giving most valuable
service, and through her advice the dis
tribution has been more equitably and
helpfully made than ever before. The
community Christmas work organized
in our schools is of rare benefit to the
students as it brings close to their
hearts the work of unselfishness which
everyone owes his neighbor, and to the
extent that it is practiced it becomes
an educational asset of the child's heart

Breaks Jail

! Considerable excitement prevailed
 here Monday morning when the under
 sheriff went into feed his prisoner, Clarence Sebring, and found an empty cell. Upon further investigation it was found that one of the windows on the south end of the jail had been removed and the bars taken out making a hole large enough to let mans body pass through.
 Mr. Duran says that he locked the prisoner up in his cell the evening be- fore but upon going into the jail the next morning the cell was still locked, but the prisoner was gone.
 A quick circle was made on the out skirts of the city for tracks, as it had rained considerable Sunday night the trail was easily found. Sebring was joined by his wife and baby and together they took to the hills to try and make a getaway. The trail they left was easily followed because of the condition of the ground and the pro- gress of the prisoner was rather slow because of the burden of baby and big roll of bedding. They were appre- hended out on the black mesa near Henry J. Platt's ranch, they were hid ing there in the rocks, but towards evening they came out from their hid ing place and proceeded to move on but the posse had them located and imme- diately captured them as soon as they left their hiding place. They were brought back to St. Johns Monday evening and Sebring is again behind the bars. Solomon and Arismen Duran, J. Owen Gibbons and Saladon Montana were the posse in pursuit.

For State Tax Commission

In this issue of the HERALD you will find the announcement of Jesse L.. Boyce for State Tax Commission. MT. Boyce is of Coconino County and has been a resident of Arizona for the past forty years. He was the first Secre- tary of the State Tax Commission when that law was enacted and served for five years or until his friends pre- vailed upon him to submit his name to the Democr atic electors for the nomina- tion of State Auditor which he received with opposition in 1916 in the Primary and was elected with a good majority in the General Election of that year and two years later he was returned to the office without opposition in the Primary but with strong opposition by the Republicans in the General election, receiving the third highest vote of any candidate on the Democratic ticket. Two years ago he retired from politics to lead an honest life. But friends knowing his qualifications for Tax Com mission, insisted that he allow his name to go before the Primary Sept. 12. MT. Boyce needs no introduction to the good people of Apache County as he has served them Loyalty in the past and his record stands as a monument to his credit on the pages of history of the State of Arizona.

which can be successfully utilized with the tractor as motive power. Of particular interest to those who are concerned with irrigation problems will be a large pump installation in action.
 '''The agricultural exhibit will contain many implements espe- cially developed for operation with the Fordson, and of particu- lar interest to the fruit growers and general farmers of the Southwest. This part of the display promises to reveal new developments in agricultural equipment, which has been made possible because of the adapta- bility of the tractor to agricultur- al requirements.
 Invitations have been sent out direct by the Ford Motor Company to manufacturers. con- tractors, ranchers. fruit growers municipal officials, and various lines of industry throughout the Southwest, and it is expected that many thousands of interest ed spectators will view the Ford concludes Mr. B. 1.

To District Clerks

Several requests have already been received by the Board asking that the certifcation regulations be relaxed in certain instances to permit the employ mens of teachers who are not quite able fully to comply with them. Last year one or two such exceptions were made because in view of the recent adoption of these regulations their strict observance would work an in- justice upon teachers and trustees, at that time. That condition is past. The regulations have been in effect for year, giving everyone ample time also to become acquainted with the require ments; and judging from the number of applications received the supply of teachers is adequate for the needs of the state.
 In view of all this please be extreme ly careful to ascertain that the teachers employed can comply with all the re- quirements, because there is almost no liklihood that the Board will permit any variations from the established re- gulations.
 Very truly yours.
