sanity a proof Of perfect devotion.
All Of the great lovers of romance,
from Romeo and Juliet down Co the
billing and cooling couple in the last
sentimental moving picture reel, have
been depicted as so batty that any
aliemst would have sent them to an
insane asylum instead of giving them a
marriage license. Nevertheless, tho con-
duct Of these loopy creatures has made
the standard by which VIC judge love.
Which is a pity. Because no normal,
sane healthy man or woman goes through
the thrills and trcmors which tho neu-
rotic heroes and hcroines Of stories
experience. II Is only the highly emo
,ionsl and unbalance who can dope
themselves into believing that they will
pine away and die Of broken heart II
they cannot get rome particular man OF
woman. IL is only the futile and the
foolhardy who are guided by their hear,
instead OF their heads, and who crafty
their desires at any cost.
The old romantic slogan "All for love
and the world we'll lost" is the most mis-.
leading doctrine that was ever preached
! for the sum Of human experience shows
that when we lose the world we very soor
lose love also. For the ill-advisec

LUNCHEON PARTY

On Wednesday at 1 o'clock, Mrs
w. L. Martin gave a three course
luncheon in honor of Mrs A. L. Mar
tin who is leaving today for her
home at Burton, Kansas. The in
vited guests were Mrs Dora Sprague,
Mrs N. S. Bailey, Mrs VIM Brewer
and Miss Helen Bennett. The deco
rations were shasta daisies for a
center piece, and little Japanese un-
brellas to which were attached the
names, of the guests for place cards.
Adelaide Martin and Arthur Haw-
ins Jr., waited on the table A little
surprise for the guest of honor was
a birthday cake which was decorat-
ed with candles forming the number
72. Mother Martin was i'll on her
birthday some little time ago and
was not able to celebrate the event
then, so the birthday cake was a
gentle reminder of the day. After
the luncheon had been served Mrs.
w. L. Martin and daughter Adelaide
gave short program of music and
the remainder of the afternoon was
spent in conversation

NOEL Il. CALDWELL
WINS SCHOLARSHIP

Word has been received from Pres
ident Marvin of the University of
Arizona that Noel Caldwell, one of
this years graduates Of the Winslow
High School, had won the County
Scholarship of Five Hundred Dol
lars. The announcement came in
the form of a personal letter from
President Marvin as we'll as a beau
tffully printed card bearing his
signature.
Besides the handsome money value
this scholarship carries, it also
means a very distinct honor to Noel
as we'll as the local high school
This honor is made all the greater
by the fact that out of the six COM
peting candidates two of them were
university students fresh from their
studies in the University of Arizona.
A recent ruling of the Attorney Gen
eral made it possible for university
students to take the examination
along with those who had not gone
beyond high school.
Noel has shown himself to be an ex-
cellent student and is deserving of
congratulations and encouragement
for this splendid achievement. The
grades OF Navajo County ranked
fifth of all the counties of the state.
Some counties had only one or two
candidates which places their aver
age high. The grade of Noel, rep
resenting Winslow, undoubtedly ran
ked much higher than the average
of any county and stood among the
few very best grades for the entire
state. Reports from the University
show all the grades ranked higher
than in any previous year.
The money is paid in nine INSTALL
ments at the rate of $5282 per month
This will pay all necessary expenses
at the university for one year.
Noel is visiting relatives in Illi-
nois but the good news has been
wired to him by his sister, Miss Eva

MINIMUM WAGE LAW
DECLARED Invalid

The case on the minimum wage
law for women which was heard at
Los Angeles Monday resulted in a
decision that the law was unCOnsti-
tutional and the issuing of an inter
lOcutory injunction by the court of
equity which halts the operation of
the law, which went into effect, or
would have gone into effect on Feb
ruary Is, 1928, but for a restraining
order, until a decision is rendered by
the United States supreme court, to
which the case has been appealed
by John w. Murphy, attorney gener-
al of Arizona The law provided
that minimum wage of $16 per
week be paid to women employees.
The case was brought by A. Sardell
of Nogales against John w. Murphy,
attorney general, and w. A. O'COn-
nor, county attorney of Santa Cruz
county to restrain these officials
from prosecuting him under the law.
A preliminary hearing was held in
Tucson before Judge Sawtelle sever
al weeks ago at which the Judge de-
MED the application on condition
the officers would not prosecute
pending a hearing of the case before
a court of equity. The case was
then set by Judge Sawtelle for July
16, in Tucson, but owing to the in
ability of one of the Judges to come
to Tucson for sometime the hearing
was transferred to Los Angeles. The
judges who formed the court of equi-
ty were Judges Sawtelle, Ross, and
BledsOe.
The decision of the court, that
the law is unconstitutional, is based
upon a recent decision of the United
States supreme court in declaring
unconstitutional the District of Co.
lumbia minimum wage law, accord
ing to statement of Judge Ross.
The contention of Sardell was that
the law was in violation of the con-
stitution under article IA and amend
ment IA, in that it deprived him of
his property without due process of
law and deprived him of his right to
contract for labor
The injunction issued at Los An
geles is only temporary in nature,
serving to restrain enforcement of
the law until such time as the Unit
ed States supreme court has had op-
portunity to hear the evidence and
review the case and issue it's verdict.
Just how long that will be can not
be forecast.
Should the supreme court hold
that the Arizona law is constitution
al, payment Of the SIG wage would
be retroactive to the date of the law
becoming operative in the state. The
decision of the supreme court will
be anticipated with great deal of
interest by the employers and wom-
en- employees of the state.

COURT ACTION
TO TEST LEGAL
STATUS OF VETO

Gasoline companies are anxious to
know if they are going to have to
pay the three cent a gallon tax pro-
vided for by a bill which passed the
last state legislature. Governor
Hunt vetoed that part of the bill
and the question has been raised as
to whether or not the veto will stand.
Some say it will, others think it
won't In reply to a question on the
subject from the secretary of state,
the attorney general, John W. Muir
Ply, replied that in his opinion the
secretary should collect the three
cent tax. Mr. Kirby, did not follow
this advice, however, but decided not
to collect the tax, but abide by the
Governors veto until the matter was
settled by the courts.
The oil companies have been ad-
vised that in case the veto is declar-
ed invalid by the courts, the compa-
nies will be compelled to pay the
three cents a gallon tax on all the
gasoline sold from the time the bill
became effective on June 9, to the
time when the court passed on it,
which would amount to several
thousand dollars. Hence the compa-
nies want a decision on the question
as soon as possible and are bringing
mandamus action against James II.
Kerby, secretary of state, to force
him to collect the tax. This will
have the effects of bringing the case
into the courts and securing a deci-
sion as to the legality of the Cover
nor's veto on a part of a bill, the
rest of which he ratifies.
There is also considerable specu-
lation as to whether Mr.. Kirby should
collect one cent tax on gasoline in
accordance with the old gasoline bill.
Mr. Kirby has refused to state wheth-
er he will collect this one cent tax.
Mr.. Murphy, the attorney general,
did not express an opinion as to the
legality of the Governors veto, he
merely expressed the opinion that
the secretary of state sohuld collect
the three cent tax. The dicision of
the court will settle the matter.

FARMER--LAbOR
CANDIDATE IS
NEW SENATOR

The farmer-labor candidate for
the United States Senate, Magnus
Johnson, was elected by large
majority over Governor Preus, Re-
publican candidate, in Minnesota, on
Monday. Mr.. Johnson is a Swede
and a real dirt farmer" who started
out in life as a class flower and de-
veloped a pair of lungs that enables
him to "holler" louder than any can
didate who ever ran for the United
States Senate. This qualification
may be Of advantage to him when
he gets into the Senate. Some Of
his enemies made fun of his English,
to which Mr. Johnson replied, 'They
say I can't speak English! What do
you think about it? 1 can understand
it we'll enough to vote right in the
Senate, anyway. Magnus Johnson
knows what is the matter. 1 got a
pretty good farm. l got a mortgage
on it. I got a big family and twen-
ty-four COWS. I married an Amer
ican girl, and she understands me
all right" After learning of his
election Mr. Johnson went back to
the farm to help the boys put up
the hay before making any further
plans for his entrance into the Unit
ed State Senate. He says he will
affiliate with Senator LaFollette and
others of like mind.

HUNT ENDORSES
WILLIAM MCADOO
for PRESIDENT

A dispatch from Phoenix announ-
ces that Governor Hunt has endorsed
William G. McAdoo for president of
the United States. Another dispatch
says that Mr. McAdoo Is not yet GER
tain whether or not he will be can
didate, but it is pretty certain that
he will be, if the pressure of friends
and admirers have any influence over
him. Indeed, some of his friends
have already launched his candidacy
in the East. In this connection it
may be noted that Mr. Bryan stated
a few days ago that he had not en-
dorsed Mr. McAdoo for president or
any other candidate. 1t seems that
a report had been circulated that
Mr. Bryan had endorsed Mr.. McAdoo
and this brought forth the denial
from the CommOner. 1t does not
seem to be Mr. Bryan's way to en-
dorse a candidate until a critical
stage has been reached and that is
usually while the convention is in
session. And it may be noted also
that the influence of Mr. Bryan has
had much to do with nominations in
the last several conventions, and it
must be conceded that he still has
considerable influence, and may be
able to turn the tide to whatever
candidate he may wish to see nomi-
mated.

CARL MACEE FOUND
GUILTY. PARDONED
BY THE GOVERNOR

Carl Magee, editor of the Albuquer-
que Tribune, was found guilty Of
contempt of court on seven counts,
in court of Judge D. H. Leahy, at
Las Vegas last Friday, July Is. Fri
day, the 18th, seemed to be an un-
lucky day for this editor. Magee
was sentenced to 80 days in jail on
each of four citations, making $50
days altogether, and to pay fine of
one dollar each on each count or
seven dollars in all In addition,
the Magee Publishing Company own
ed by Magee, and made codefendant
with him was fined a total of $4,000
for publishing the articles said to be
contentious. The case grew out of
certain articles, written by Magee
and published by the Magee Publish
ing Company in which it was claimed
by Magee that the court of Judge
Leahy was influenced by political
machine led by one, Secundino Ro-
nero, United States marshal. The
case will likely be appealed to a
higher court. Other cases, it seems,
have grown out of the Magee con-
tempt case. One of them is an ac-
tion against Attorney r. H Hanna,
a former supreme court justice, who
acted as Magee's attorney, to suspend
him from practice and another ac-
tion against him for contempt of
court during the Magee case. These
cases are set for July 20.
Later reports announce that Gov
ernor Hinkle has pardoned Magee
and remitted the fines imposed upon
him and also the fines assessed
against the Magee Publishing Com
pany. The governor declared that
the contempt cases were a "persecu-
ton, and that the sentences harsh
and beyond reason, and the whole
procedure a disgrace and a blot up
on the name of New Mexico and the
good people thereof"

ARMY CAMPS MAY BE MOVED
FROM THE BORDER

A report comes from the southern
part of the state that certain move
ments of army troops along the bor-
der pressages the abandonment Of
most if not all the army camps
along the southern Arizona border.
Announcement has been made of the
removal of the troops from Ruby
and Lochiel These posts to the
west of Nogales and south of Tue
son had only small garrisons, it is
true, but other movements in addi-
tions to these indicate that it may
mean a general withdrawal of the
troops. The troops stationed at Ari-
vaca have also been withdrawn, and
it is understood those at Naco will
also be withdrawn 1t is not known
yet, according to a statement of Col.
A. ]. McNab, Jr, commander of the
25th Infantry stationed at Nogales,
whether or not the withdrawal or
ders will affect the troops at Noga-
les, Fort Huachuca and Douglas. It
seems the war department sees no
further need of troops along the
border for police duty and thinks il
the recognition of Mexico results
from the negotiations now in pro-
gress there will be no need OF
troops along the border of Arizona
except a small detachment centrally
located for use in emergencies.
