GERMAN EXPORTS FLOOD
 THE EGYPTIAN MARKETS

ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, Jan. g. - Germany is increasing her exports to Egypt, and it is felt here that she has virtually recaptured the Egyptian market.
 Orders which previously went to Japan are now secured by German firms. She exercises an almost un- challenged monopoly in synthetic dyes, toys and pianos, and has pre- dominating position in the field of pencils, paper, glass, chinaware, cut lery, leather goods, small metal man. ufactures, cotton hosiery, small mir TOTS and hardware. All these arti~ cles have been dumped into the Egyptian market on scale and at prices that have defied competition. Statistics on foreign trade for the first seven months of 1922 show that Germany has advanced from sixth to fourth position, and that the United States stands fifth. The

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON
 HAS STRONG ELEVEN

EUGENE, Ore, Jan. 9.-University of Oregon students here expect that a strong eleven will represent the school in the 1923 Pacific Coast and Northwest conference races. A ma jority of the 1922 varisity men are coming back into school.
 Last year Oregon had one of the best seasons in recent years. Start ing unheralded, and with an early season defeat by Multnomah the varsity went through it's two con- ferences schedules without a defeat and tied Washington for the North west conference title.

loss of considerable American trade this year is due to the heavy falling off in the importation of cereals
 Last year nearly 15,O00,000 worth of wheat and wheat flour alone were brought in from across the Atlantic, whereas this year, up to the end of July, the amount was less than $1 ,O00,0O0 for the same period. Ru- manias revival of business has con- tributed largely to this loss by the United States Kerosene from Amer ica also dropped to a very low fig ure, the Rumanian product taking it's place.

SAFETY IN THUNDERsToRMs

Danger in a thunder storm is new
er as great as most Belington peo-
pie imagine, those of course there is
always a hazard. A person is safer
from lightning in some places than
in others. The towering steel build
ings in the cities, for instance, are
practically lightning proof SO far as
its occupants are concerned. The cur
mt follows the steel framework Of the
building an dthose within it are never
aware of it. 1t is safer in house
during a thunderstorm than to be out
in the open. In the open one should
avoid high ground, and especially iso-
lated trees and the edges Of woods on
the side from which the storm is APP
preaching. Low trees well within a
woods, but not close to any except
ionally tall trees, are much less dan
gerous than trees in the open. Caves
or ground caverns of any sort are
comparatively safe. When lightning
is very severe even sitting or lying
in ditch, however uncomfortable
that may be, is recommended. Above
all, avoid the Interest, the wire fence
and the isolated tree.

THIS FOR THE BOYS

Here are a few words for the boys
around Belington. If yours doesn't
read them, then do him the kindness
to read them to him:
You boys are going to get lot OF
hard bumps in the next few years.
They'll seem harder to you than they
really are, and the reason that they
will seem harder is that your par
ents up to now have been taking
these bumps for you-sheltering you
against them. This has happened in,
all past generations, is happening
now, and in the next generation,
when you are parent, you'll be TAX
ing the bumps for your children.
AS time rolls on you'll become
hardened to knocks. 1t is just like
going barefoot-at first the gravel
and twigs hurt the tender feet but
soon get used to it, and by the time
summer is over you can walk on the
toughest road without feeling any
pam. Nv uOH SCt uiSSOu1dScQ. hccp
in mind the fact that as it takes hard
work to develop your muscle, it also
takes quite lot of rough treatment
to "bring you out" to develop your
courage and your resources, to en-
able you to handle power wisely and
to know what responsibility really
means.
Many of the greatest heart-aches
in life come in the tender years when
we first strike out for ourselves.
Later on you'll realize that the heart
aches were mountains made out of
mole-hills. So keep your courage;
don't allow anything to dishearten
you; take the advice of your parents
when it is given to you--and you'll
come out all right.

1T HELPS EVERYBODY

Agreement to pay are one thing.
Actual payments, as Americans have
found to their cost, are quite another
thing, especially in the matter of in
ternational debts. It is pleasing.
therefore, to find that the biggest
foreign debt owed to this country is
in actual process Of payment. Great
Britain the other day sent our Secre-
tary of the Treasury $4,000, 900, an
installment on the debt she owes us.
And she didn't send it in gold-of
which the U. S. now has surplus
but in Victory bonds which she
bought on the open market. And
the best part of it is that when she
bought those bonds she did some
thing to help every Belington man
who owns any of the same kind of
bonds, for she did much to stabilize
the price of them and helped to put
them nearer to par. Thus we see
that even in the payment of inter-
national debts things SO work around
as to help US right here at home.

TAKING A VACATION

Now and then tn eaverage Beling-
ton mans nerves get all out of align
ment, appetite becomes poor, tired,
worn-out feeling creeps over him and
he tells his troubles to the family
doctor. Nine times out of ten, in add
ition to the medicine he receives, he
hears the doctor say: What you
need is change"
And the doctor is right, for after
all the human body is only machine
We have to oil up an auto every few
hundred miles and freshen up the
batteries with new supply of water.
So with the human body we have to
rest it up every now and then, put in
new kind of atmosphere and give
the eyes and nerves change of seem
cry, if we hope to make it wear and
function as it should. The resident
of the farm or the smaller town can
secure that needed change by little
visit to a nearby city. The city man
can get it by going to the farm. The
| treatment acts the same in both cas-
es. One rests while enjoying sights
that are strange to the eye, or even
by hating awhile to watch some
other fellow work.
Vacations are expensive only when
we figure thin from dollar and cent
standpoint. If we had any means of
knowing how rest of even week
each year would reduce doctor bills
and add few avs to our life, we
would count that vacation the cheap
est thing in the world. So, no matter
how important you may feel yourself
to be, just remember that the old
world would get along somhow if you
were called away from it altogether.
Just realize that week away from
it won't throw everything out Of
gear, and that one week of rest may
the means of keeping you fit for bus
mess longer than you can hope to be
if you keep right on without little
rest without the change" that the
doctor says is better than medicine.

THEY NEVER SLEEP

With the warm months merchants
in practically every town the size of
Belington begin to nurse a severe
case of tireditis-that' a new name
for it, but good one and they seem
to be content to drag along with
whatever business that comes their
way. They apparently do not real
ize that they are throwing the gate
wide open to the mail-order cata-
logue man, and that he hits some of
his hardest blows while the weather
is hottest. 1t is now that he is send
ing forth his literature, paving the
way for his fall and winter harvest.
He knows that the hometown mer-
chant is apt to let down on his ad-
vrtising little during the summer
months-and he capitalizes on that
fact. He is making hay, so to speak,
while the sun is shining hottest. And
when the hometown merchants cools
off and starts in with renewed
energy in the fall it is to find his
territory already plasterd with mail
order catalogues aid many of his old
customers already catalogue buyers.
The mail-order man never sleeps on
the job. And he is honest enough to
tell the world that his richest field is
IN communities where merchants let
up on their advertising during the
summer months. Think it over.

LEMONS MOVE TO
CALIFORNIA SOON

The decision of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest
Lennon to move to California right
after the first of next month does not
meet with the approval Of their null
titude of friends in Flagstaff.
Mr. Lennon has resigned his posi-
ton as manager of the furniture, dry
goods and curio department at Bah
bits to become effective week from
next Monday, and after week or so
visiting Grand Canyon and in making
preparations to move, they will leave
in their car with their son Kenneth,
for Los Angeles.
Los Angeles.
Mr.. Lennon has been with Babbitts'
for about four and half years. He
made plans to move to California sew
eral months ago, but was persuaded
by his employers to remain here. But
a desire to live on the coast and the
opportunity for greater remuneration
there has finally decided them to make
the change. They will carry to their
new home the best wishes of so many
Flagstaff friends that that in itself
ought to give them flying start In
bending Los Angeles TO their will.

W. |. LINDBLOM GETS
PROMOTION AND WILL
RESIDE In WILLIAMS

Announcement is made by the Ari-
zona Central bank that w. L. Lind
blorn, at present assistant cashier of
the bank here, has been promoted to
the managership Of the banks Will
liams office, succeeding A. NJ. Root,
Jr., who is resigning to move to Cali
fornia. The change will be effective
Monday, April %, and MIR. Lindblom
has been spending considerable time
in the past week or two at Williams
familiarizing himself with his new du-
ties, and becoming acquainted with
the banks customers in the western
end of the county.
Mr.. Lindblom, known to his many
Flagstaff friends as Walter, has been
with the bank as teller and assistant
cashier for, almost six years, coming
here from Big Rapids, Michigan,
where he had been engaged in the
banking business for several years. In
sending him to Williams the manage
ment of the bank has given recogni-
ton to his long and faithful service
and his experience and ability in his
chosen profession.
The above announcement will be re-
ceived in Flagstaff with mixed feel
pleasure at Walters well-merit-
ed promotion and regret that he and
Mrs. Lindblom are to leave Flagstaff,
where they have firmly intrenched
themselves in the goodwill and affec-
ton of hundreds of our people. Our
good wishes will follow them to their
new home.
Mr.. Lindblom has already been
elected a member of the Williams Ro-
tary club, He will prove an accession
to their ranks, for he has been an IN
terested and willing booster here.
Local baseball fans owe much to Mr.
Lindblom's past hard and unselfish
work in keeping US very much or. the
map in baseball matters. Aud here
he already is speaking with pride and
glee of the high merits of the new
Williams baseball team. He can be
forgiven for that, however, after con-
sideration Of the loyal support he al
ways gave our team up to now
Walter was recently elected lectur-
ing knight of the local Elks lodge and
this among others will be tie to
bring him back here for frequent
visits.

SANTA FE ENGINEER MAKES GENEROUS OFFER
u. S. WILL BUILD FLAGSTAFF -ANGELL ROAD
BASEBALL TALK Is
REVIVED; AMERICAN
LEGION MAY MANAGE

Talk Of organizing Flagstaff
baseball team is growing warm agann,
as it usually does at this time of the
year 1t is the same every spring
no start until the teams all around us
are organized and have their playing
schedules pretty well organized. Then
we get into action, get team, have
hard time getting games and usual
" wind up the season in blaze Of
glory. 1t may be that the American
Legion will handle the team this sum-
mer
It is hard to conduct team sue
cessfully, because of the large expense
involved in meeting other teams. One
game frequently calls for an expense
guarantee of from one to two hun
dred dollars, and it usually has been
the case that when we had the most
expensive team scheduled here the
gate receipts were the lightest.
It would be a fine thing if four
team summer schedule could be ar
ranged, say with Holbrook, Winslow
and Williams, cutting out other teams.
As the schedule progressed, interest
would grow. Such schedule would
not involve the expense for Flagstaff
that we usually undergo in a summer
season.
If that could not be arranged, per-
haps an agreement could be made
with Williams for playing first
four-out-of- seven series, the schedule
to end when one team had captured
four games. Williams draws better
in Flagstaff than any other team, and
without knowing the exact facts, it is
safe guess that Flagstaff draws
better in Williams than any other
team. Travelling expense between the
two places is light, and if games be-
tween the two towns comprised the
of those played during a
summer it is likely both teams would
find it easy keeping in finances.

SHERIFF OFFICERS GET
BREAD, PURSE, TRUNK,
BUT NO BOOZE AT ALL

Sheriff VIM. A. Campbell and I'M
der-sheriff Sam Thompson kept lone
ly vigil one night recently not far
from Flagstaff at little settlement
at which carload of booze was ex-
pected.
They were nearly frozen when they
saw car pull in and ran for it. The
driver was carrying something into a
house when Sam threw his flashlight
on him. "What have you got there ~
he demanded. "Only loaf of bread"
was the scared reply. And so it
proved.
The officers resumed the silent
watch. Then they dimly perceived in
the darkness someone moving around
their own car, which was standing in
some trees. They dashed forward.
Billy threw his flash. The man pulled
his hand out of his hip-pocket. "Here,
take all I've got" he gasped, holding
out his pocket book.
Presently another car hove in and
several men hastily unioaded trunk.
"Now we have the son-of-a-gun," the
officers cried, and sprinted forward.
The trustly flashlight again. This time
it was Earl Sisk with his faithful
taxi in the act Of delivering some
baggage.
Midnight came. Then, almost fro
zen stiff, the two officers gave up the
job and came back to town to thaw
out

BEAUTIFUL TROPHY
TO THE LIVEST POST

The award Of beautiful grand
trophy to the American Legion post
showing the hvest interest will be one
Of the features of the state convention
of the organization to be held at Flag
staff June Il, II and Is. An official
bulletin making known the terms OF
the offer has been dispatched from
department headquarters of the Le-
gion to the various posts throughout
the state.
The winner Of this elaborate prize
will be determined on credits of so per
cent for membership and so per cent
for attendance at the convention. The
membership rating will be based on
the increase of membership of each
post in 1922. The number of votes to
which each post will be entitled at the
convention is to be based on the post
membership Of May u, but each post
is. permitted to send as many delegates
to the state convention as desired, the
rule being that where the number OF
delegates exceeds the number of votes
to which a post is entitled, these votes
shall be divided on q fractional basis
among the delegates.
i or I1lStdLCCs III b1AI SeAt2C VI - PcN'N
entitled to five votes sending 20 dele
gates, each delegates would have one
fourth vote. So it is possible under
this arrangement for any post to
send an unlimited number of delegates
and the post sending the largest dele
cation will be entitled to so points
toward capturing the prize.
The trophy will show the name Of
the winning post and be held by it
for one year, to be passed on to the
winner of next years contest. The
plan is attracting keen interest among
Legion members and will doubtless
result in placing the department of
Arizona at the top Of Che roll call Of
states, listed in the order Of paid up
membership for 1923.
The Flagstaff post has waived all
claim to the prize in case is should
be won by it.

COUNTY TREASURER AND
COUNTY ATTORNEY READY
TO COLLECT BACK TAXES

Up to the first Of the present month
the total amount of taxes delinquent
in Coconino county for the four years
1918 to 1921, inclusive, was $40,000.38.
Of this amount $3,745.04 remain de-
linquent from 1918, $6,237.93 for 1919,
S9,604.00 for 1920, and sec, 0,403.41 for
1921.
Taxes uncollected for the year 1917
and previously, under our strange tax
laws, are outlawed and cannot be col
lected unless those who owe them
choose to pay. There is no penalty
in case they are not paid. However,
the taxes remaining delinquent for
1917 are only $2,214.28; while for 1916
they amount to only $827.11.
1t will be seen from the above fig
ures that each year the number of
people who join the ranks of the tax
slackers must be increasing. At any
rate, the amount of uncollected taxes
increases rapidly each year.
Back when Billy Switzer was county
treasurer and c. B. Wilson county at
torney, taxes were collected or action
was taken. Mr. Switzer felt that he
was elected for the sole purpose of
being county treasurer and that a part
of his duty was to collect the taxes.
Some property on which the owners
did not pay the taxes was sold at his
order. He had the firm backing of the
county attorney.
Mrs. Ana Frohmiller, the present
county treasurer, has the same loyalty
to her trust. She has been using ev-
cry effort in a peaceful, friendly way
to cut down the total delinquency and
has cut it down lot. Since she took
the office the amount has been reduc-
ed many thousands of dollars.
But she has, apparently, reached the
point where moral suasion is no long
er of any great effect. She intends
speedily to take other measures. She
believes she was elected to collect
taxes and doesn't intend to be inffu-
enced from doing just that.
County Attorney s7;snk Harrison is
taking the same stand. He believes
he was elected to administer his of
flee efficiently and in the best inter-
ests of the county. He is ready to
back the county treasurer to the limit.
