ATWOODGETS
CLOSE UP OF
COOLIDGE.
SILENT MAN

Flagstaff Rotarians on Tuesday got
an intimate closeup of Calvin Cool
idge, president of the United States,
from Albert W. Atwood of the edi-
torial staff of the Saturday Evening
Post, and heard some things about
this strangely silent man that have
never heretofore been published.
Mr.. Atwood said in preface that he
was going to talk about something
not in his regular line and made it
plain that while he had met Coolidge
three or four times, he claims no ac-
quaintance with him, though he at
tended the same college Coolidge did.
"If you were to telegraph him about
me, he probably would reply that ne
doesn't know me-" Mr.. Atwood said.
But he had watched the careers of
the more prominent graduates of his
college and was particularly interest
ed in Coolidge through the fact that
his own intimate college and frater-
nifty mate was Foster Stearns, son of
Frank w. Stearns, who is now uni
versally known as Coolidge's Colonel
House," and who, beyond doubt, is
largely responsible for Coolidge's
present eminence.
He first described Frank Stearns.
He spent Christmas holidays one year
with young Stearns at his home. The
owner of the most exclusive depart
ment store in Boston he described as
being short, very stout, very dark in
appearance. seeming to be of Semitic
origin, but in reality being of pure
English descent. A man of few words,
keeping to himself, positive and en-
phatic in his sentiments, of great
kindness of heart. A most solitary
man in one sense, sociable in another,
still with very wide acquaintance
among the more prominent men in the
United States, man in whom loyalty
is carried to the furthest point.
Stearns, Is years ago, as trustee of
the college of which Coolidge was a
graduate, went before committee in
the Massachusetts state legislature to
get something for the college. The
chairman of that committee was
Coolidge. Coolidge never looked at
him. Then he asked Coolidge for his
opinion. The latter walked out of the
room without replying.
Stearns was used to being obeyed,
certainly unused to being ignored. He

u. S. LAND RECEIVER

i. L. Ferrall Of Grand Canyon has
been appointed receiver at the United
States land office to succeed Scott
White, according to telegram receiv-
ed from United States Senator Ralph
Cameron. Mr.. White has held the po-
sition for the last five years.
The commission of Mr.. Ferrall has
been issued, bearing the signature OF
President Coolidge, probably the first
commission he has signed.
The papers in the case OF Mr.. Fer
rail- had been sent to President Hard
ing on board the Henderson returning
from his Alaskan journey, but on ac-
count Of his illness they were not act
ed upon.
"Sid," as he is popularity known in
northern Arizona, will undoubtedly
prove a most efficient official. He
IS a pioneer resident of the state and
knows all its interior workings. His
friends Of the north are pleased with
his appointment.

ROTARIANS FURNISH
OWN EATS AND GUESTS
THE FEAST OF REASON

With Albert w. Atwood and jim
mie Swinnerton as the speakers, Tues
days Rotary luncheon was most en-
ioyable. Their talks will be found
elsewhere in this issue. Both were
vigorously applauded by the men who
had listened with close attention and
great profit to their talks
1t was a regular good fellowship
meeting. Carl Mayhem made the cof-
fee and sliced the ham. Frank CHS
holm and Sid Gassman spread the ta-
bic. Bill McCIurken sliced the bread.
|. B. Koch brought a huge dish of
frijoles with grated cheese besprink-
led and a gigantic hunk of corned
beef, also lot of flowers. M. I. Pow
ers brought flowers in profusion. Ev-
eryone helped wait on the table, from
pickles to pie a ia mode. Then Joe
Dolan, Billy Switzer,. Mart Fronske,
Ed Babbitt, Milt Powers, Padre Vabre
and Miss Elsa Myers, the gracious
pianist, and a few others cleared up
the debris. Rotarians can eat. They
also can prepare their own meal IN
emergencies and make the others like
it.
Mr.. Powers called to order and Mr..
Koch said the Arizona Industrial Con-
gress directors would motor to Pres
colt Tuesday, come by special train

merce to be joint hosts.
1t was agreed that yesterday after
noon Messrs. Ed Babbitt, Koch, Pow
ers,. Dolan, Switzer, G. B. Wilson and

hew stand up and blush by announcing
him to be the newly-elected command
err of the local post American Legion.
Carl will be chairman September A,
Mr.. Koch on September IL and Ray
Babbitt on September rs.
Mr.. Powers complimented Fred
Breen on last weeks editorial in The
Sun on Rotary and boys work. Then
he introduced C. B. Wilson as chair
man for the day, and the latter, after
fining himself 81 because he was un-
avoidably absent at the last two meet
ings, began his program for the day
and sure made hit with it.

SWINNERTON
ASKS INDIAN
DANCES NOT
BE STOPPED

Jimmie Swinnerton, the artist-car-
toonist, who knows the northern Ari-
zona Indians as well, probably as any
other white man, and who has deep
understanding of and sympathy for
them, made strong plea before the
Flagstaff Rotary club on Tuesday that
the art, music and history In the In
dian ceremonial dances not be Destroy
ed, at least not until they have been
thoroughly and permanently recorded.
He mentioned the bunch Of affida-
Wits recently produced in which it is
claimed the snake and kachina dances
are immoral or at least lead to orgies
of immortality, and said he had yet to
see any immortality connected with or
resulting from the dances. "Nor have
| ever heard of such practices from
any person whom you would trust to
tell the truth" he said. There is none
in the snake dance, nor in the rain
dance, he said. In sarcasm he said
the rain dance probably should be for
bidden, for the Indians during the
dance give fruit to the little children,
and that is terrible thing to do.
The Indians worship a Father on
high and the earth as their motnef,
he said. Their ceremonies are to give
thanks and to ask for good crops and
food for themselves and their chill
dren. We call them dances. They
are religious ceremonies. OF the snake
dance, he said the snakes are regard
ed as messengers to the roots"
The Indian religion is the same as
ours, the speaker declared, except for
some differences and changes in 10
calities. For instance, they believe
the first parents came from the San
Francisco peaks.
Their ceremonies are harmless,
beautiful, historical. In hundreds of
years from now people will be Dig
ging and delving for these things that
are living now and that some are
seeking to destroy. We must not al
low this art, music and history to
be destroyed for any queer, CONNER
cial or other reasons, at least not until
we have record. After that we may,
the speaker said, sarcastically, destroy
the ceremonies, for the Indians are
down anyway, so why respect their
sentiments or religion?

GARLAND PRAIRIE GORGE
WINS MANY CARLANDS

Speaking very conservatlvely we
desire to advise the entire world that
the barbecue at Garland Prairie Sun
day was most enjoyable occasion.
Affidavits from about one thousand
people who attended the picnic from
all parts of the county, surrounding
counties and from several different
states, will back up the assertion un-
animously.
The barbecue was instigated, start
ed and finished by bunch of Garland
Prairie boosters consisting of Harry
Grey, Nick Perkins, Mr.. and Mrs. Bill
Gray, Mr.. and Mrs. Paul Tissaw, ably
assisted by the worlds greatest bar
becue artists, Tom Wagner, John and
George Morgan and whole bunch of
other fellows in that section.
When the question was asked: "Why
all this free barbecue and good time
to all comers and everybody well
come? ~ The answer was: We just
wanted to get the people of this Sec
tion of the country together to enjoy
themselves, get better acquainted, to
personally thresh out any differences
and get the hull gang pulling together
as every community should. Yes, it
was heap of hard work, but look at
the fun we had and the new friends
we made"
Two hull cows of Hull Springs ma
tivity and several tender lambs were
offered to the multitude after Tom
Wagner's special method of prepara-
ton in the big pit. Long lines strung
out for an hour, being thinned to sin
gle file by two trees that had been
planted some fifty years ago for that
purpose adjoining the big food deal
table. You'll live long time in a
city before you get free service and
a big plate of grub like that.
After the big gorge all hands went
out into the clearin' to see the cow
boys make the wild horses tame. Sew
en- went up to make the wild ponies
do hilarious popcorn dances, with a
sunfish finish. None of them came
down until he stepped off the horse
straight up. The judges decided that
Albert Allen rode higher and wider
with his mount and was given the
first prize. Lots of folks have heard
in a roundabout way of white mule, !"
which aforesaid, is noted for some
sshck," but the little ole gray mule
had that anti-Volstead stuff kicked
into cooked hat. He was some SUBJ
marine. He sneaked through the sad
die three times; once he dove out from
under both saddle and rider. With all
the ingenious contrivances of the fes-
tive cowpuncher to glue the saddle on,
he ducked the leather until they gave
him up entirely.

GAME PROTECTION MEN
WANT SEASON CHANGES;
ELECT NEW OFFICERS

The most constructive and best at
tended meeting of the Flagstaff Game
Protective association was held Mon
day evening at the court house, Flag
staff.
Definite action was taken for calling
representatives of the Prescott, Verde
Valley, White Mountain, Tucson,
Kingman and Flagstaff organizations
for the purpose of perfecting an Ari-
zona Game Protective association.
This state organization will not inter
fere with the local associations in any
manner, but will simply centrallze act
ion that is of state importance.
A discussion of whether the Flag
staff association is in favor of closing
the deer season for five years result
ed in practically unanimous conclus-
ion that the salvation of our game sit
uation rests in having few well-lo-
Gated preserves set aside and pa
trolled. These preserves will not in
terfere in any manner with livestock
grazing and will furnish sufficient
breeding grounds for furnishing suf-
ficient amount of game for the ada
cent areas. Flagstaff is against clos
ing the deer season.
The Flagstaff association is in IA
vor of advancing the duck season for
at least Is days, cutting down on the
end of the season by a like period. 1t
the season opens October /, instead of
October is, it would result in better
shooting in this vicinity. Further
more, there is little if any shooting OF
ducks after Christmas, so shortening
the end of the season would practical
ly amount to nothing.
A committee was appointed to work
on a revision of the present state
game laws. There are many points
that need changing and the local COM
mitiee will work out their ideas which
in turn will be considered in coLnec.
ton with similar committees appoint
ed by the other associations in Pres
colt, Kingman, Jerome, Tucson and
Springerville.
Of particular local interest is a
resolution that was passed endorsing
the Springerville fish hatchery and
urging the state game warden to I'M
mediately complete the necessary
work on the hatchery so that it can
be put into operation. The compile
ton of this fish hatchery will mean
that Oak Creek will each year have
at least $4,000 young fish for re-stock-
ing. Three or four other trout
streams on the Colorado plateau will
likewise be adequately stocked each
year.
The high point of the entire meet
ing was the report that there were
five arrests for fishing at Lake Mary
on Sunday without license. These
cases will be up for trial this week.
The meeting adjourned after cleo
ton of officers for the current year.
Those elected were: President, T. F.
Mccullough; president, E. G. Mil
Ter; secretary, Geo. Negray; treasurer,
Dan Campbell. Honorary executive
committee, T. A. Riordan, David Bah
bitt, T. E. Pollock, M. |. Powers, Har-
low Yaeger, DR.. R. O. Raymond, ".

FRED HART HAS A
NEW CHICKEN CURE

Fred Hart, owner of one of the
finest ranches in Coconino county,
near Sedona, was in town Wednesday;
He brought in a load of produce and
carried out load of supplies. Among
the things he took home was a bana-
ma stalk. When asked why he was
taking it home, he explained that some
friend of his told him if he hung the
stalk in his chicken house the chicken
mites would all leave. Harry Riley
listened to the explanation and told
him to throw the stalk away as he
could sell him preparation that
would scare the mites all away. Fred
was persistent and carried his stalk
home with him. Cottonwood Cor.
