COPELAND WOULD MAKE
 GOOD LEGISLATOR

i There was no candidate for the office of Member of the House o1 Representative on the democratic l for this office on the democratic tic ket at the election November 7th. The County Democratic Central Com mittee persuaded G. W. Copeland to accept the democratic nomination and now Copeland is out for the office.
 Mir. Copeland is one of the enter prising farmers at Doney Park, who have been building the fame of Nat farming district. Through the ener- gy of these farmers Doney Park has come to be one of the most noted farming districts in the county Knowing what energy and ability Mr. Copeland has shown in his farming operations, the Democratic Central Committee hit upon him as the fitting man to represent this agricultural county in the state legislature A man better fitted to look after the stock and farming interests of the county would be hard to find. Fur ther than that MT. Copeland is man of broad experience and will look we'll to the other interests of the voters of this county, if he is elected November 7th.
 MT. Copeland is honest and straight from the shoulder in his business dealings as all attest who have had the pleasure of making his acquaintance. He is well posted on legislative matters and is thoroly in accord with the platform of Ex-Gov- ernor Hunt and the democratic party. If sent to the legislature he will work in harmony with the coming demo- cratic administration and will be able to get what Coconino County wants and is entitled to, from the legisla ture. As a speaker MT. Copeland is earnest, energetic and impressive. He will be able to hold his own on the floor of the House. He is for progress and development but if elected will keep close watch of the public purse and will insist that the benefits to be derived from any meas ures shall always measure up to cost
 The voters of Coconino county will make no mistake in sending G. W. Copeland to the legislature to represent them.

with the sheep industry and he re- mained in contact with that industry for ten years. He was later appoint ed Clerk. of the Board of Supervisors which position he filled with marked efficiency for four years.
 MT. Rees' first try for pubisc ofiee was made when he was elected to his present position. He IS now seek ing a second term in this office and as formerly stated, none cared to- contest his claim to second term.
 MT. Rees likes Coconino County just as we'll as Coconino County likes him. Further than that he is gen erous in his affection and likes to share its benefit with others. Not only has he always given strangers a welcome to the county but ia one case he went back to Nebraska irn order to induce another citizen tea make Arizona the adopted home state. The other party in this case was Miss Lorance who became Mrs Rees. The happy home which they founded has been further gladdenet by the arrival of a daughter who is now in school and the pride and de light of her parents. If it weren't for making some of the other eandi- dates jealous we might go on telling other good things about Mir. Rees, bcSt you know them anyway, for everyone knows Tom Rees. Don't fail to make the big heart of one typical Arizon- an, beat little warmer, by voting for Tom on November 2.

MRS. .FROHM|lL MAKES EFFICIENT CO. TREAS.

When a resident of Williams takes
 No. for Flagstaff and that train happens not to be more than an hour
 late, he finds that he has reached
 Flagstaff before most of the business
 places are open and more than all
 hour before the offices at the court
 house are ready for business. Yet,
 if such a visitor happens by the court
 house at a little after eight he will find one office open and ready to
 serve the public. That is the office
 of County Treasurer. It isn't that County Treasurer Mrs. Frohmiller is seeking to win any special credit to herself by thus beating the court house clock, but it is simply force of habit resulting from her ten years of experience in commercial offices prior to her being appointed to the Treas urer's office. Eight o'clock was the regular time for opening in those other offices. It is very plain case a county official who has not been in office long enough to break the s o'clock habit has not been in office long enough to be fired by the voters.
 As matter of fact, Mrs. Frohn1i1- Ter has been in the County Treasur- CTS office just long enough to bring her efficiency to the high mark in line with her ability. During her two years and half in that office first as assistant to Henry Aphold and later as his successor by appointment Mrs. Frohmiller has come to know the taxpayers of the county and their ways-particularly the ways of their the result that her abil- ity to serve the county as Treasurer and Ex-Oficio Tax Collector has only now attained it's full measure of She knows the taxpayers and the taxpayers know her and thru this acquaintance and friendship the process of extracting taxes from the property owners has been made as pleasant as is hunanly possible. Mrs. with her cheery manner and her smile succeeds in bringing ar. answering smile from an unfortunate taxpayer in the process of making his annual payment to the county, more frequently than could any of ner predecessors.
 Mrs. Frohmiller is a reasonbly old resident of the state-coming to Ari- zona little over twenty years ago. (We havn't said a word about how old she was when she came here. , We'll bet she is almost as young as she looks but what has that to do with political write-upO She has
 ~ for the past seven years. It is a .oregone conclusion that the voters ,f the county will show how glad hey are that she chose Coconino for her residence seven years lgo and how happy they will be to nave her remain as caretaker of the county purse, by giving Mrs. Ana a record vote at the polls November 7th.

both a responsibility and an honor. It is always a pleasure to voter to know that he is conferring an honor upon some new man who has proven himself worthy. That is one of the reasons why voters of District No. l are looking forward with pleasant anticipation to election day when they will be enabled to so honor MT. Loy, for this is his first try for a county office In voting for him, they have the assurance that both the honor and the responsibility will be well placed The voters can make no mistake in eleeting John Loy.

Some Liue Happenings m tue Political World

all the attributes of good citizenship in his home, his community and his state.
 As a jurist his credentials are of the highest. Impartial, careful, in- flexibly applying the law, but tem- pering his judgments with mercy in those cases where 1t is indicated that mercy will do more good than se- verity, he has built reputation for fair dealing and integrity that has won him respect equal to the genuine feeling of friendship with which he is so generally regarded.
 It is a pleasure to say things in praise of one who deserves praise. Judge Jones' politics and those of The Sun are different. But nevertheless, it is pleasure to recite few of the judges endearing qualities and say Of him that, no matter how hot the bat tie at the polls may be and no matter how steadily and mercilessly The Sun will have to fire shrapnel and heavier missiles into the cohorts of the en- emy, it is all for party and nothing personal, and any wounds given will show only in the ballot boxes and not in the heart of the staunch gentle man leading the enemy's judicial wing.

CLEAR DOUBTS ABOUT
 SOLDIER HOMESTEADS

All military service will count as residence credit on homesteads filed on by ex-service men, but regardless of the amount of military service each soldier must live on his claim for a minimum period of seven months, ac- cording to information made pubic at the local forest service office in order to clear up doubt existing as to the privileges accorded ex-soldiers homesteading land under the provis- ions of the soldier homestead law re- gently enacted by congress. State ments of the forest service summar- ize the provisions f>this law as fol- lows:
 CD A filing preference on lands to be opened to entry of 91 days over the general public; (2) residence: all military service will be counted as residence credit but regardless of the amount of military service, each sol- dier must live a minimum of seven months on the claim. Cultivation: When an ex-service claimant has had one years military service he need only cultivate 1-16 of the required area. Where an ex-service claimant has had two years military service only such cultivation is required as indicates good faith-the same as in the first year of an ordinary entry. Claims reports should, as heretofore, state the actual amount of residence and cultivation and military service.

FOREST MANAGEMENT
 CONFERENCE IS TO BE
 HELD AT COOLEY, ARIZ.

The annual forest management con- ference, held each year by the national forest service, will be held on the Apache Lumber company's sale area at Cooley, Arizona, this year during the week beginning October 30.
 The formal representatives of the New Mexico and Arizona forest dis tricts who will attend are Chief For ester c. F. W. Pooler and Messrs. Marsh, Pearson, Lang and Loveridge, all of whom are forest officials from the Albuquerque district. In addition to these, one supervisor will be in at tendance from each district in the two states.
 The gathering together of men from all the districts in the pine timber of the Sitgreaves forest is considered not only a high honor to the south west district, according to local for est official, but should go long way toward convincing forests in general that the southwest is timber country with as pressing, important and diff ficult management questions as can be found anywhere in the country.

CHAS. STEAMER IS PREPARING BOOK OF HISTORICAL INTEREST

T. D. Sanders is stopping for few days in Cottonwood as a guest of Charles c. Stemmer. Last spring Sanders had his son take down in longhand a narrative of his life as a pioneer in the early history of the west and particularly in Arizona. The hot weather interrupted the work, and now that it is growing cooler and his son has gone to Prescott to re- side, he is dictating to Stemmer, who is gathering the data for book of over 300 pages of intensely interest ing matter. It will be an autobio- graphical narrative. Mir. Sanders is nearly 7S years of age and is possess ed of a remarkable memory. He does not claim to have killed off a whole tribe of Indians single-handed, but he does give some thrilling accounts of early Indian fights, and particular ly dwells on the many vissitudes that beset the early pioneers. - Jerome News.

FRANK HARRISON, THE
 NEXT COUNTY ATTORNEY

Frank Harrison, nominee for coun- ty attorney by handsome majority in the democratic primary, and with out opposition on the other side, will be the next county attorney.
 Pretty hard for any slip 'twiXt the cup and the lip in this instance.
 Frank has worked hard all his life, practically all the time doing as much work as two men ordinarily do, so he's entitled to have something come easy and doesn't feel at all sighted in not having a republican opponent.
 Under Frank M. Gold, present coun- ty attorney, the work of that office has been we'll and ably conducted there will be no decrease in efficiency under Mir. Harrison.
 The latter was court reporter here for several years following his resig- nation from the forestry service at Fort Valley. About two years ago he was admitted to the practice of law in this state, passing the highest ex- animation with the highest marks ev- CT given in an Arizona bar examina- tion. From the start he was success full and his practice increased rapidly until now it is unusually large for one who has had his shingle out so short a time.
 He has the confidence of the people, who know his honesty and talent! This fondness for hard work, and his many other good qualities, and will handle the important office of county attor- ney with energy, ability and impar- tially.

RESPONDENT MAN TAKES
 OWN LIFE AT KINGMAN

III, Respondent and with slight hope of ever regaining his health, Mark N. Honeywell, last Saturday night, at the county hospital, settled the doubt by blowing out his brains with a heavy calibre gun. He had seated himself in a chair and placing the muzzle of the gun in his mouth, fired the weapon through the top of his head. When found he looked as though he was sleeping in the chair. MT. Honeywell was born in the state of Ohio GA years ago, and came west when a young man, taking up the avocation of mining. While not over ly successful, he yet managed to make good living and had some means. He lived many years at Ger bat and Todd Basin, and it was only a few months ago that he was com- pelled to come to Kingman to secure medical aid. The dread white plague had fastened itself on the poor fel- low and realizing that he was doomed to lingering death he chose the shorter way.
 Deceased leaves a widow and number of relatives in Illinois to mourn his death. - Kingman Miner.

w. H. CAMPBELL REPUBLICAN
 NOMINEE FOR SUPERVISOR

Coconino county, with it's vast area, has many public problems difficult to solve in the best interests of all, yet Supervisor w. H. Campbell, the re- publican candidate for supervisor for the first district, was nominated with out opposition in his own party on the good record he has made during his term in office.
 Oftimes criticisms are unfairly made because of limited means and the utter impossibility of granting all requests made on public funds. Greater criticisms and more just, would be made if the people were burdened with taxes as result of granting all requests. Supervisor Campbell has been progressive in his ideas in road building and other pub lie affairs. He has given his time freely in the carrying on of public work. Much credit is due him for his enthusiastic efforts for bridge across the Colorado river at Lees Fer ry, his aid in. popularizing the great Glen Canyon dam project, the propos- ed Oak Creek highway and many oth- CT such enterprises which means mil- lions to the residents of the county

NEWS OF INTEREST GATHERED
 HERE AND THERE IN THE STATE
BETTER BABY CONTEST
 AT NORTHERN ARIZ. FAIR

Twenty beautiful, bouncing babies have already been entered in the bet ter babies contest, which will be held under the auspices of the Northern Arizona State Fair association, dur ing October 19, 20, q, the dates of the tenth annual northern Arizona fair. To this energetic association must be given the credit for having first in stituted the better babies" contest in the state.
 This contest is open to all babies of northern Arizona, between the ages of six months and thirty-six months. There are three classes, divided as follows: Class 1, boys and girls from six to twelve months; Class 2, boys and girls, 13 to 24 months; Class 3, boys and girls, 25 to 36 months.
 All entries close on October IA, at 5 o'clock p. m. Entry blanks will be mailed on request and appointments for examination will be made in the order in which applications are re- ceived. The notice of date and hour of appointment for examination will be mailed in ample time before the contest opens. All questions on blanks submitted to parents must be answer ed. No child suffering from any acute, constitutional or contagious disease may be entered.
 The examinations will begin at 9:30 on the morning of October 19, at the baby pavilion.
 All babies entered in the contest will be eligible to the prettiest baby contest, (although this is one of the minor divisions of the better babies contest) and it will again be decided by the mothers of the contestants by using the Australian ballot, voting for three best choices: first choice will receive five points; second, four points and third, three points. The baby re- ceiving the most points in the ballot will be considered the choice of the mothers as the prettiest baby in the 1922 contest.
 Beautiful and appropriate prizes, including native copper loving cups, and many other prizes will be award ed in all classes.
 Mothers desiring to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity of learning first-hand just how their ba- bies are progressing should immedi- ately make out entry blanks.
 The report that Bill Glenn, mayor of Ashfork, will be one of the judges, is strenuously denied, so there is ev- cry reason to believe no prejudice will be shown by the judges.

mess man and citizen. He has the in terests of the community and the county at heart. He understands our problems and in case he is elected, can be depended on to lend his influ- ence to sane and reasonable solu- tion of those problems. Interested in the development of our natural ad- vantages, and realizing there is noth- ing that will go farther toward that development than good roads and good schools, he is an ardent support CT of both. And he stands for econ omy in the handling of the public money.

JOHN W. FRANCIS WILL
 BE GOOD IF HE IS

John W. Francis is letting no grass grow under his feet in his race for election as sheriff of this county, for which he received the democratic nom- ination in the primaries.
 This is a spirited contest and both sides seem to be eminently fair. There seems to be none of the accusa- tions and charges so often made in the heat of campaign, and this is an indication of the fair-mindedness and sportsmanship of both contestants.
 John was one of the early-day sher- ifs here, and was a good one. He had the reputation of getting whom ever he went after and helped make Flagstaff and Coconino county better places to live in. The job with it's activities and changing interests has an attraction for him and he would like to get some more of the excite ment that goes with the job.
 He has been respected and pub. lic-spirited citizen of this city for greater average number of years than the rest of us, has the confidence of the voters and would make a live, energetic and efficient sheriff.
 We are fortunate in having >candi- dates of such high caliber for the place, for no matter which is elected to this important position-one that requires an able, honest, up-standing man--we will have a good sheriff who can be depended upon to do his best to enforce the laws and make this county good place for crooks and degenerates to stay away from.
