C. A. Millsap of Bowie, who has
been held in the county jail for the
past three weeks for failure to send
his children to school, has been re-
leased from custody on condition that
he Immediately make provision for his
children to attend school.
Millsap, who lives on a ranch a few
miles out of Bowie, wanted the school
trustees under the law to pay him $40
a month for the transportation of his
own children to school and refused to
send them unless so paid. The school
board offered to transport the chill
dren to school, but Millsap, it is said,
would not send them unless he was al
lowed the money. He was placed un-
der arrest and ordered to put up a
500 bond. This he refused to do. He

ARIZONA TOWNS HELP in
TRADE-AT- HOME WEEK

For the second time, civic organi-
zations of the state are to make a
concerted effort to show the people
of Arizona the advantages of patron
izing home industry by means of a
"Trade at Home-Buy Arizona Prod
ucts" Week.
''Trade at Home Buy Arizona
Products" week will be held March
10th to oath in practically every city
in the state, it has been announced by
the Arizona Industrial congress. In
every case the week will be a cam
paign of local organizations in each
city, the congress serving only to CO.
ordinate efforts and make it a state
wide movement.
The campaign will be along the
same lines as the "Trade at Home
Buy Arizona Products" week held
last May by chambers of commerce,
which proved a notable success.
The purposes of the week are two:
To show the people Of each COM
munity that they derive great adj
vantage from trasling with home bus
mess firms which pay taxes in that
community, employ local people, and
contribute to the prosperity OF that
city or town.
To show the people of the state
that they also derive a great advan-
tage from buying the products of
Arizona farmers and Arizona manu-
facturers, whose success means the
greater development of the state, the
employment of more people, and a
oyrnafeT. fay valuation
"You share prosperity; help make it
by making business better in your city
and your state" will be the appeal to
the public.
Not that the public will be urged to
trade at home regardless Of values,
however, quite the contrary. Nobody
will be asked to trade at home or buy
home products at a sacrifice in price
or quality. But everyone will be urg-
ed to give home business men first
trial--to see local values before they
buy.

REPUBLIC SPOIL CELEBRATION

According to IN Lum and All
Sing, two oldest Chinese residents,
there will be no big celebration in
Tombstone Of the Chinese New
Year. In the early days of
Tombstone when the Chinese popula-

blaze of fire works and gaily decor
ated laundrys and Chinese stores.
Lum says that since the establish
ment of the republic in China such
things have gone out of style. Things
will not be any more exciting on that
day that any other day. The old re-
ligious customs of the country viii be
observed by what few Chinese are

PENNEY'S
WOULD PREVENT RELIGIOUS
INTOLERANCE IN POLITICS

No more mixing of religion with
politics if a bill introduced by Repre-
sentative Griffin of Pima becomes a
law. That at least is the object of
the measure, which is entitled an act
to secure the constitutional right of
religious liberty, to protect the quail
flied electors of the state in the exer-
else of religious freedom and enjoy
ment and the exercise of the right of
candidacy and appointment to public
office irrespective of their religious
beliefs, affiliations, relations or mem
bership.
Any attempt to secure the election
or appointment of any candidate for
office on the grounds that he is af-
filiated in any way with any religious
organization or because he has no
such affiliation is made punishable by
severe penalties under the proposed
act.

OBJECT To CIVIL
SERVICE FOR
DRY AGENTS
Officials of Treasury Depart
ment See Necessity for
Frequent Changes.

High officials of the Treasury
Department today reiterated Presi-
dent Harding's objections to plac-
ing prohibition enforcement agents
under the classified Civil Service as
urged by the Anti-Saloon League
and hfbition Commissioner
Haynes.
They said that the constant
changes necessary to maintain the
efficiency of the enforcement ma
chinery made it impracticable to
regulate the prohibition unit under
Civil Service rules.
President Harding's attitude to-
ward the proposal to extend the
Civil Service to the prohibition unit
was made known in a letter to
Richard H. Dane, of New York,
secretary of the National Civil
Service Reform League. The Presi-
dent said he was not convinced
this would be the. ''wisest step to
take because it was often neces-
sary to dismiss prohibition agents
to promote efficiency.
Legislation fostered by the Civil
Service Reform League was intro
duced in Congress by Senator Ster-
ling (Rep.) of South Dakota, but
was not enacted.
