MY heart yearns for the bettement
of my people that have written long
er than was my first thought. How
ever, be it known unto you that sile
Hopi Indian has the great White Chief
in Washington for his father and will
obey him. They who disagree with
the Commissioner of Indian Affairs in
his message to all the Indians (not in
Arizona Aalone) must stay to one side
while we Hopis follow out his orders
the best we can. We owe all our ed
ucat.on and civilization tosthe man in
Washington besides our greatest ben-
efactor, the Almighty God We must
pay cur debt by becoming better citi-
zens.
Hoping this pleading on behalf of
my tribesmen may receive notice and
given place in your paper, / remain
your sincere friend,
A poor, struggling Indian,

Col. Fred S. Breen,
Flagstaff, Arizona.
Dear Fred: When anyone accom-
plishes something out of the ordinary
believe it is the duty Of those who
appreciate the effort to tell them
about it.
Friday afternoon / glanced at The
Sun and could hardly believe what |
saw there. President Harding had
died in San Francisco less than l8
hours before, and there in a weekly
newspaper | found full account of
his death, an Illustrated short history
of his life and administration and a
fine wlite-up of the life and accom-
pHshments of the new president.
The whole far surpassed in literary
attainment, Typography and newspa-
per alertness anything heretofore ac-
complished by weekly newspaper in
the United States-or; for that mat
ter, by many of our dailies.
Please accept for yourself, and at
the same time convey to The SUMS
able force, my congratulations.
Very truly yours,
L. S. WILLIAMS.

WHY DAD JOINED THE FARM
BUREAU

Dad hes an idea that the Farm Bureau
Plan
Is about the best thing invented by man,
Twas some years ago that he first found
it out,
And I'll tell you just how it all came about.
1t had been bad year and the cows didn't
pay,
All the hogs died of cholera, the hens
wouldn't lay.
The smut struck the oats, the potatoes had
blight,
The corn didn't ripen, the hay crop was
light
His wool brought but song, although
clothing was high,
All he sold was too cheap, all was dear
when he'd buy.
And he said, "Our fool laws are unfair,
| tell you,
But put up or shut up is all farmers can
do"
So he worked sixteen hours, and many
times more,
When he sat down to read, in minute
he'd snore.
No leisure, no courage, no Improvements
were made
Not dollar was left when the taxes were
paid.
But the Farm Bureau came and it showed
him way
BY lining and tilage to make his crop
pay.
He started alfalfa, and slage corn too,
Weighed and tested his milk as all far
mers should do.
He got rid of his scrubs, and. bought
good bull;
He culled all his hens and pooled all his
wool.
He pruned up his orchard and learned
how to feed,
And worked shorter hours, till now he can
read.
AS from Farm Bureau meetings Dad rides
home in his car,
'Thuogh the millennium's not here, he can
see it afar.

WHICH ARE YOU, I WILL OR
l CAN'T?

In looking over this world of ours,
These words quite true you'll find;
That the 81 will" man gets there.
While the "I can't' is left behind.
81 will' is up at FIVE a. m,
And ready the day to begin,
Full of courage and never say quit;
Feeling the world just depends on him.
"I can't" says what's the use?
And never gets to work on time;
He lags at the Office, he lags at the store,
And is tagging all along the line.
He is always out of money
For he can't keep at his work.
And his mind is quite busy,
Finding a way his task to shirk.
81 will' is busy from morn till night,
With sleeves rolled up and brow all
sweaty,
Earning and planning, each penny to save,
For home for kiddies and Betty.

"The Girl in the Taxi was enjoyable
throughout. We have but one criticism
to offer, and that, that it bordered too much
on slapstick at times, especially the scenes
at the cafe. The picture was marred
somewhat by this over-indulgence in broad
comedy. Carter DeHaven does not need
to descend to buffoonery to get across.

on slapstick at times, especially the scenes
at the cafe. The picture was marred
somewhat by this over-indulgence in broad
comedy. Carter DeHaven does not need
to descend to buffoonery to get across.
1t has been a long time since we saw
King Baggot on the silver sheet. He is
at present one of the most capable direc-
tors in moviedom. 1t was difficult to as
sociate the sedate matron with some of the
characters presented by Grace Cunard
when she was playing opposite Francis
Ford in serial thrillers.
Charles Ray in "Scrap Iron" is an
nounced. If this picture is on par with
"The Egg-Crate Wallop" it will be en-
joyable. Ray Is one of the cleverest anna
teur boxers on the coast, fact that is not
generally known.
Senor Fripo upset our dope pail by in
jecting Bill with shot of the sleeping
sickness in the twelfth Ell senior may go
far if he learns to box. There is one
thing we admire about him, and that is
his willingness to meet any and all corners,
including Mistah Wills. If some of his con-
,temporaries were as accommodating there
would he no great amount of controversy
anent respective abilities.
Malone was a cinch to defeat the slip
ping O'Dowd, but the one round knock
out was a surprise as Jock is more of
boxer than fighter. At that he stands
head and shoulders above any man in his
division.
We will venture another prediction. Nc
Tigue to beat Sikh on points, and McTigue
is third rater. In case he does beat the
Senegambian it will make one thing GER
tain that NJ. Carpenter was really dou-
ble-crossed. Sikh is false alarm. He
had to be coaxed into Ireland, and even
granting he is better man than the dub
he meets, he hasn't the nerve to beat hir
in Dublin. We await reports with Tut
most confidence in the infallibiity of the
prediction.
NOTE: R. l.. M. Your prediction has been
verified. McTigue received the decision. Ed.
Dempsey opines that Tommy Gibbons is
too light for him. If he will recall he
will know that Ruby Bob Fitzsimmons
was a legitimate middleweight when he
administered a decisive beating upon the
person of one James J. Corbett at Carson,
Nevada, March II, 1897, knocking him
out in the fourteenth round. Tommy Glib
bons is a legitimate contender for the
heavyweight title and he should be recog-
nized as such. His defeat by Greb will
be erased if they meet again. They wont,
in the near future at least, as the Pitts
hurgh mauer fatty refused TO meet Glib
ions again. And that is that!

Maine Potato Crop
About $40 Shipped to Feb. 10

Several important forces influence
ing remaining shipments are un-
known. but it may be useful to dis
cuss the information now at hand.
Estimates from the best informed
sources, both in December and late
Nv. have indicated a total of around
21,5OO cars as likely to move from
the 1922 crops. OF this total 1900
cars Ground fisurcs) have moved to
date. leaving probably somewhat
over 1000 cars vet to go. The shortage
in the total New England crop of 1922
and especially the shortage in states
here of large deficient production.
has caused very free movement from
Maine. Shipments seem likely to
continue free while prices remain
high enough to cause active ship
ming, but low enough to keep out
potatoes from the west. .
In it's Weekly Market Review OF
Feb. 6, the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics says:
"a recent estimate of the potato
stocks on hand. Jan. l, shows a larger
quantity. larger percentage of the
crop, and a larger proportion still IN
