|LONG-D|STANCE COMMUTER
az RoRERT S. poMAN

sOATMAN, ATiz.. May 2.-This gold
mining camp claims that it has the
champion long distance copmuter
There are four men who commute
from Philadelphia to New York daily
and several from Milwaukee to Chi
cago, but George A. Keating, gen
eraI manager of the Black Range
Mining company, of Oatman, travels
10 and from Oatman to Los Angeles,
= distance of 352 miles, without even
sleeping in a stationary bed at the
snd of his trips.
The average commuter at least
spends his evenings at home and has
3 downy couch to recempense him
for his travels but Mr.. Keating has
not slept in a wheeless bed for the
last eleven months. His work re-
uuires that he watch both develop
ments at the Black Range mine and
also on the Los Angeles stock eX-
change.
Accordingly, every other evening
he leaves the mine, where diamond
drilling is in progress, at $3.50 p. m.
and travels to Needles, Calf, via
saIto. After garaging his car there he
goes TO his berth aboard the Los An
reles express and arrives in the city
At a. m. with plenty of time TO
hattie, breakfast ana aIIeHu 10 puSi-
ness before the opening OF the ex-
change.
When change closes Mr.. Keating
transacts further business and leaves
Los Angeles on the $50 p. m. train
ana after a nights sleep arrives at
Needles at a. m, where he jumps
into his car and speeds A miles TO
his mine. Then. after a day at the
mine, he leaves again for Los An
9eles.
"I can sleep as well on train now
as / used to do in a regular bed, says
Mr.. Heating. Sometimes I go to the
city in my car, but jolts and tharS1-
ve- raarms don't disturb my slumbers
in the slightest. I think ] acquired
the habit of sleeping under any cir
cumstances during the war when l
made by bed each night in an army
truck on piles of chains, 75-centimeter
shells. smashed rifles and other odds
and ends which we carried to and
from the front.
Mr.. Keating would like to hear
from other long distance commuters
who make continuous trips back and
forth from their, home towns to Los
Angeles.

Firm Of Juvenile
Merchants Handed
Black Hand Letter

You are flirting with the under
taker," is one Of the threats made in
a black hand letter which myste-
riously appeared late Wednesday
afternoon on the counter of a promi-
nent firm Of Phoenix merchants. The
police to whom the letter has been
given for investigation, are of the
opinion that it was written and
placed on the counter by one of the
members of a rival firm with the
intention of causing their competitors
to quit business.
The police stated that they were of
the opinion that little trouble would
be experienced in tracing down the
author of the letter because of the
thumb and finger prints which were
placed on the letter with ink to rep
resent the black hand. 1t may be
that the matter may be turned over
to the federal grand jury. now in
session in Phoenix, for investigation.
The letter was found by William
Saufley, senior member of the firm
of Saufley, Thrift and Saufley, we'll
known dispensers of soft drinks. upon
his return after a short absence to
the firms place of business on the
corner of Third avenue and Roosevelt
street. He called his partners, Jack
Thrift and Robert Saufley. into con-
sultation and it was decided to turn
the letter over to the police for in
vestigation. The letter, which was
written on a typewriter, is as follows:
You big DULLES you better pick on
some one your size, If you hit Bob
again you will have to move your
stand two blocks from JIMMYS pop
stand. If you don't quit saying to
people not to by from JIMMYS stand
/ will see to it that you will not be
aloud to have a stand. YOU TEND
TO YOUR TRADE AND NOT TO
JIMMYS. WE THINK WE WILL
MAKE YOU MOVE ANYWAY Be
CAUSE HE WAS IN HIS PLASE
FIRST. YOU GOT TO CLOSE TO
HIS STAND? HE WAS THERE
FIRST.
Signed, Mr.. SOMEBODY"
Following the signature is skull
and cross bones drawn in ink and at
the bottom of the letter are several
thumb and finger prints made by
pressing the end of an inky finger
on the paper. A postscript printed in
ink follows the finger prints and
reads as follows:
"You are flirting with the under
taker.'
The proprietors OF the concern on
whose counter the letter appeared
are IL, 10, and years of age re-
spectively. William Saufley, the
senior member of the firm, in
statement made to the press after the
receipt of the letter, declared that
the letter would not cause himself
and his partners to close their stand.
The police asserted they would have
the writer OF the letter under arrest
within day or two, and added that
when caught he would be prosecuted
to the full extent of the law.

BIG CROWDS ATTEND
REVIVAL MEETINGS

The Church of Christ held two
meetings in the Adams school audito-
rum yesterday. At the morning
services Evangelist Burcher spoke
after which a congregation was or
ganized. Large crowds attended
both services.
In the evening the theme was,
Factions and Party" Evangelist
Reedy spoke again. The sermon was
really the climax to the series of
sermons this week. All present
seemed highly pleased.
The speaker said in part. "The Lord
ordained that the original purity of
the church should be maintained by
faithful unity among all believers
in Christ. But owing to the weak
ness of human nature He anticipated
departures from the faith. All par
ties and factions are condemned by
the scriptures. and should be avoided
by all faithful disciples. There is one
body and one spirit, even as ye are
called in one hope of your calling;
one Lord, one faith, one baptism. One
God and father of all, who is above
all and through all and in you all.
Eph. 4:3,5. Whosoever transgresseth
and abideth not in the doctrine of
Christ hath not God. He that abideth
in the doctrine OF Christ he hath
both the Father and the Son. If
there come any unto you and bring
not this doctrine. receive him not into
your house. neither bid him God
speed: for he that bideth him God
speed is partal1er of his evil deeds"
Tomorrow nights theme is. "Some
Reasons Why People Are Not Con-
verted." Meetings all this week.

Electricity Is Your Willing Servant

civic matters or club duties or to

her fancy may be. 0he is using the
same agent to get the maximum Of
advancement and comfort out of
life that her husband is using-elec-

And just as the man would fall
behind in business If he failed to
take advantage OF the advantages
offered by this great generative
force, so the woman would be shack

without TIE same helpful agency.
Any electrical equipment dealer
is in a position to advise either the
man of affairs or the woman in
charge of the home on the newest

vices. His suggestions will be
without charge but may prove of in
estimable value. A visit TO such a
dealer is an investment of time
which in many cases pays very gen.

TELLS HOW TO buy
STAMPS, ENVELOPES

Most people, especially small pur-
chasers, can save time and money
by purchasing stamps and envelopes
in larger quantities. 1t has been es-
timated that more than half the
people who come to the post office
to buy a stamp do not purchase more
than they need at that particular
time, which makes it necessary for
them to make trip to the stamp
window every time they wish to mail
a letter. 1t takes no longer to buy
a book of stamps than it does to buy
one stamp.
You lose money every time you
purchase one or two stamped en-
velopes. For example: One No 3
two-cen envalope costs three cents;
two-cent envelope costs three cents;
cents, and so on. Thus, when you
purchase one envelope the cost, less
the postage, is one cent; but when
you buy two, the cost is one half
cent; and by getting eleven at a
time the cost of each envelope is

ROCKWELL SAVED
STATE AND COUNTY
MANY THOUSANDS

As fiscal agent for the state OF
Arizona and the county of Maricopa,
Major Foster Rockwell of the Bank
ers' Trust company of New York has
saved both of them large sums Of
money He was the agency last fall
when the proceeds of the last $4,000
900 of county highway bonds beJ
came available IN securing for the
county a rate of II per cent interest
on the proceeds left on deposit az
against per cent.
In the disposition OF the tax antici-
patton bonds issued under the au-
thority of a recent act of the legisla-
ture, Major Rockwell secured for the
state a rate of Az per cent instead
of per cent, the maximum rate au-
thorized by the act.
Major Rockwell came to Phoenix
several years ago and engaged in
orange growing. He was graduated
from Yale and had become we'll
known throughout the country as
coach of the university football team.
He married Marguerite Adams.
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. G.
Adams. When the United States en-
tered the world war Major Rockwell
went to Florida in the flying service,
but a little later. at the request Of
Mr.. II. p. Dawson. whose death waSe
announced last Saturday, he assoc
ciated himself with American Red
Cross work overseas. Mr.. Dawson
was at the head of the American Red
Cross. directing its drives here and
experimenting its activities abroad
After the signing of the armistice.
Major Rockwell returned to this
country and at the solicitation of
Mr.. Dawson he associated himself

MUCH INTEREST IS
BEING DISPLAYED
IN WORK OF A. |. c.

How the east is being informed
of the work of the Arizona Indus
trial congress, an organization in
which great interest is being dis
played throughout the country because
it is the first agency which has
brought together all industries TO
work for the common good, is shown
in a letter from C. S. Brown, presi-
dent Of the Arizona Farm Bureau
Federation to former u. S. Senat tor
Gray Silver at Washington, D. G.
Many inquiries have come from
eastern states as to the industrial
congress. as it is generally recog-
nized that cooperation between all
industries and all interests is one of
the first essentials in restoring better
times, and the congress is the first
effort-and a successful one-in this
line. AS a result many men Of the
state are explaining the organization
in brief in their correspondence with
men whom they know are interested
in public welfare. Mr.. Browns re-
.aarks to Senator Silver were as fol-
lows:
you have no doubt heard of the
Arizona Industrial congress, an or
ganization calculated to unity all the
industries of our commonwealth. T.
was created in December and while
it has not functioned long it's results
are phenomenal I notice by the
press that many of our leading
statesmen and executives are endors-
ing the plan, and judging from first
hand acquaintance can say that the
influence is far reaching and effi~
cient. We have as members of our
directorate three representative men
from each industrial group. among
which are farmers. cattlemen bank
ers. mine owners and railroad men,
The latest activity of the congress
is in starting a Trade at Hone-Buy
Arizona Products Week, which will
be observed in every part of the state
May % to 27 through the efforts OF
the various chambers of commerce.

STUDENTS COMPETE
IN NATIONAL SHOOT

Last week the boys of Phoenix
High who are interested in shooting
competed in one Of the matches
which are conducted by the National
Rifle association. This is known as
the Astor cup match and is open to
any high school in the United States
which has a rifle club affiliated with
the y. r. A. The match consisted of
two strings OF ten shots each fired at
so feet with the small bore rifle.
The shooting was witnessed by ma
tional guard officers and the largest
mailed to the secretary OF the n. H.
A. at Washington, D. G.
Out of a possible Of 1000 points
the five boys who composed the team
made a total of 972. Shooting 100
shots at SO feet at a target whose 10
ring is 5-16 of an inch in diameter.
they were able to hit the 10 ring n
times. 1t is not expected that the
local boys will win the match with
this score as it is their first attempt
at match shooting and many of the
eastern schools have been shooting
for years, but the score should put
Phoenix High prominently on the
map as contenders for national hon
ors in high school rifle shooting.
The five boys who did the shooting
and the score each made out of a

reduced Ia three -eleyenths cents.
The price in larger quantities is still
lower, so you see it pays to buy in
large lots. incidentally, you will
note that the cost of envelopes at
the post office is considerably less
than at the stationers
While at first thought this is a
small matter, it is a very important
one. If each person would buy
enough stamps and envelopes to
supply his needs for a month, he
would save many unnecessary steps
and considerable money each year,
and he would help the post office
department wonderfully as the lines
of waiting customers would disap-
pear from the stamp windows be-
cause the clerks could serve each
patron promptly and satisfactorily
Wont you do your bit by buying
more stamps and envelopes at a
time? It will be well worth your
while.
