This is another clue, so lemem- Der it!
 Mr. Divlebess tracked h e team with the odd horse shoe track for three miles until he reached Winslow, searched the town and failing to find the outfit set out and circled the city until he crossed the same trail leading away into t h country. This trail he followed. The outfit was overhauled and two young men arrested. On preliminary examination the h. spector took particular notice of their shoes. which corresponded to the tracks at the scene of the crime. The shoes were taken off and sent cut and found to measure up exactly.
 Later the father and the boys themselves confessed. But we claim that 1t was a case of shoes, and some foot-work on the part of Dan Divlebess.

SOME DETECTIVE WORK
 A CASE OF SHOES

We claim that when it comes to detective work Navajo County doesn't need to take a back seat for any place. We neglected to ascertain whether Dan Divle- bess had taken a correspondence course from the Burns Agency or was distantly related to Sher- lock Holmes. but rather imagine both to be correct. But what ever the facts, his deductions were eminently satisfactory.
 Some meat hungry compadres slaughtered three steers belong ing respectively to Arthur Mill CT. La Prade and Les Hart. Arriving upon the scene to in- yestigate, Live Stock Inspector Dan found his clue; the print of of a horse shoe of narrow width with caulks on it unusually close together. Also there were dis tinct prints of mems shoes in the dirt around the scene of the butchering. He examined these with care and found that they had been made by men having on shoes, the soles of which
 were worn in peculiar manner.

Button! Button! Who's Got The Button!

It was foolish game we used to play as children, s.Button, Button, who's got the Button" But it had this redeeming feature, SOMEBODY in the circle al- ways had the button.
 It an childish and preposterous game that the members of most small communities play in their efforts to beat the high cost of living The siren call of the maiorder house heard in the land and the foolish Ulysses of the home town has forgotten to stop up his ears with the wax of commonsense.
 Aside from the fact that the same quality of goods can be bought from your home merchant at price fortaby approxmatng the city price if the purchaser is reasonable enough to add the cost of writing and freight and the delay there is another aspect of the case the consideration of which should give the thinking reader pause.
 Civilization has been built upon the principle of re- ciprocty. No where is it more apparent than in h small town Its endless circle and upon the rapdity with which the wheel revolves depends the financial prosperity of the community
 If John Jones or Jim Smith or Elijah WhangdoodIe sends his money to Chicago for specified article he gets his tool and it and his money goes out of his jurisdiction, to foreign community might say. He receives any further benefit from the money has spent than that contained in the article he has chased So far as his money is concerned Elijah has seen the last of it.
 But suppose Whangdoode has been gifted with far seeing eye He buys his tools from the home mer chant. The merchant helps pay taxes for roads streets and the schools where the little Whangdoodles gather daily And at the end of the week the merchant pays Eah's cousin his wifes side salary for his services as clerk During the week MT. Whangdoodle has had still another whack at the merchant for he has sold his wife some butter and eggs, and load of good dry pnon for the fireplace So by buying in his own home town Elijah Whangdoodle has solved the problem of eating his cake and still having it, of spending his money more than once
 In the foolish old game of Button, Button, some body always had the button. Let's make it the present day game trade at home and with the circulating she kes bring greater flood of prosperity to our town
