ELKS PLAN ELABORATE
FLAG DAY PROGRAM FOR
FLAGSTAFF ON JUNE l6

Flag day will be observed in Flag
staff under the auspices of the local
Elks lodge, more deliberately than in
any previous year. Plans were laid
at Tuesday nights meeting of the
the affair impressive and one that
shall be effective in promoting pa
triotism and love of our flag.
Flag day is June Ia. Getting this
early start in the preparations doubly
assures the success of the elaborate
program already under way. A band
and speakers will be brought here
from other cities. There will be a
giant parade in which all other organ
izations, civic, fratemal and religious,
will be asked to participate.
In the meantime, a flag essay con-
test will be arranged for two groups
of students, one tile sixth, seventh and
eighth grades of the various county
schools, the other the pupils of the
high schools. The subject of the eS-
say is to be the American Flag. The
school, the pupils of which send in the
most essays in proportion to the num-
Der of pupils it has enrolled will re-
ceive a prize, and first and second
prizes will be offered in both the
younger and older pupil contests,
these prizes, of course, for excellence.
Letters are being sent to the var
ious schools by Tom L. Rees, secretary
of the Elks. The committee to ar
range the Flag Day program is: Ex-
alted Ruler Henry L. Albers, Tom L,
Rees, Loren w. Cress, Tommy Long.
The EEks should have, and will ap-
preciate, the full cooperation of all
the people Of Flagstaff and the county
in this worthy plan.

WEATHER

Snow last Saturday night gave
us total of % hundreds precipi-
tation, and another one on Tuesday
brought 46 hundredths more. In
dications last evening were that we
might get another snow furry. u.
S. Weather Observer George I.
Harrington calls attention to this
being the equinoctial period, but
he's rather sceptical about our get
ting as much storm as we ought
to get.
True to the record of the last
few months and the falling of more
snow all around US than we had in
Flagstaff, Williams got nearly
twice as much as we did in Tues
days storm.
The good news came over the
phone Tuesday that Phoenix got a
three-hour rain Monday night. The
Seligman country got even more.

as well as ornamental, place tourists and other
visitors will advertise everywhere as the finest
on the main highway.
Be it resolved, that we boost with them to se-
cure an adequate water supply, new depot, and
municipal improvements of vital and immediate
necessity, also to aid in establishing every pos
sible inducement to all business enterprises.
Be it further resolved that we will work with
them to the fullest extent to secure city of 1O,-
900 in ten years, nationally known as Northern
ArizOna's Wonder City, the center of the south
vests greatest historical, natural and conlmer-
cial wonders, as well as the ideal summer resort
with physical and educational advantages where
one may make permanent home and build with
us in development of our state and further DEM
onstrate that true democracy is the spirit of
America.

TALK OF DIvERTING PART OF
EAST ROAD FUND TO KAIBAE

1t is understood there is a move
ment on foot by some federal offic-
ials higher up in the forest service,
to reduce the amount previously
agreed upon for the Winslow-Flag-
staff road about $4,000. This
amount to be expended on the Kaibab
road north of Grand Canyon.
1t is difficult to understand just
why this shift of funds is sought
since the amount would build no road
of consequence in the Kaibab country,
or one that would be used by any
considerable number of people, while
the repair of the Flagstaff -Winslow
road would benefit thousands month
ly. The whole amount should be used
on the east road to secure the maxi
mum amount of benefit.

FIR. VABRES CURIOS GIVEN TO
THE WOMAN'S CLUB MUSEUM

The museum of the Flagstaff Wo-
mans club acquired a fine lot of In
dian and other curios few days ago.
They were in the collection of the
late Rev. FIR. C. Vabre and were Civ
en- to the museum by his successor,
Rev. FIR. Ed Albouy, through Miss
Mary Boyer, president of the Wo-
mans club.
1t is said that the museum will soon
receive other interesting collections
and will also be loaned valuable coll
lections. Indications on the whole
are good that before many months
this new museum will be an interest,"

Both these men are fine mechanics,

noted by the symptoms Mr.. Amos
had been with Mr.. Waldhaus for a
couple of years or more, and Mr..

in Flagstaff last Saturday night, by
defeating the Jerome cage quintet &c

PLANNING TENNIS COURT
AMONG IMPROVEMENTS AT
CITY RECREATION PARK

Charles w. Isham of city council at
Tuesdays Rotary meeting told what
has been done by the city thus far in
providing recreational features and to
some extent indicated what is further
contemplated.
Mr.. Isham said:
The bond issue was voted upon IN
October, 1922, and the total amount
of money received for park purposes
was 100000 from bonds, with premium
of S2888, total of $62,888. Of this
amount $4,000 was paid for that part
of the 100 acres retained by the town
of Flagstaff, leaving balance of ap-
proximately $31 900 for park improve
ment. This sum was expended as fol-
lows:
Cost of grand stand and COM
munlty house ....-.......--..---.--.--Sl4 l4,olc
Cost of ball grounds and work
on race track -................... 5,24o
Cost of dam and lake improve
ment ..............-..............--- Oy44
Incidental expenses, including
engineering, etc. .........-.----.--.- Z,UbS
$27,112
This left balance Of some $4,000
which had to be reserved for interest
payments on bonds falling due before
it could be recollected from taxation.
OF this amount, part of it has been
collected and more will follow, so we
will have some funds available for
improvements in 1924. This leaves us
with the foregoing improvements on
large tract of land, with no partic-

OUR COUNTY TREASURER
BROKE ARIZONA RECORD
COLLECTING BACK TAXES

Interesting comparisons are shown
in the figures of the collection of de-
linquent taxes in Coeonino county dur
ing the last three treasurers' admins
trations.
They are interesting because they
show what can be done in the way OF
tax collections by a treasurer con-
scientiously bent on properly attend
ing to the job. Here are the amounts
collected in the last five years:
By M. A. Murphy:
1919 .....-.--............-....--.... SIS 5,843.98
1920 ....-....-.....-.....-......-.. $19,627.16
By Henry Aphold:
1922 first half of year, S 5,595.25
By Ana Frohmiller:
1922 Qast half of year, $28, 8,929.17
1928 $4O,9l7.Zb
Mr.. Aphold resigned in the summer
of 1922. Mrs. Frohmiller, his deputy,
was appointed to succeed him by the
county board of supervisors. She at
once got busy. With what results the
above figures show.
No other county in Arizona can
show record like that for tax col
lections in 1928. If the other coan-
ties could offer an equally favorable
showing it would mean greatly de-
creased taxes all over the state. For
those who do honestly meet their tax
obligations have to pay higher rate
to make up for the delinquency OF
those who do not.
On January /, 1924, these were the
amounts of delinquent taxes still un-
collected in Coconino county:

amounts to just little less than
Mrs. Frohmiller collected in the one
year, 1923.
Of these still delinquent taxes, suits
have been filed for collection or sale
of property in $4,434 of the taxes for
1919, 1920 and 1921. About $4,000
of the unpaid taxes for 1919 to 1922
are on the Navajo Copper Co. prop

Will be necessary to give n final ans
Ner to the executors of the estate of
Col. Boothbay, as to whether or no,
the Sunset Home Association will be
able to raise the necessary endow-
nent to make 1t possible for the ex-
ecutors to turn the property over to
the Sunset Home, those in charge
find themselves very near the goal
but they have not quite reached it.
The executors are anxious to CO.

ed the suggestion that If 200 or more
subscriptions for SO u year can be
secured. for a term of five years, this
would be accepted instead of the Sc
curing of the full amount of the en-
dowment originally asked for of $780,
600. of which over $4,000 has been
subscribed.
An appeal Is extended to every per-

EASY TO DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it's done so naturally, so
evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though, at home is mussy and trou-
blesome. At little cost you can buy
at any drug store the ready to-bse
preparation. improved by the addi
ton of other ingredients called
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" You just dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at q time. BY morning all
gray hair disappears, and, after an
other application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully darkened, glossy
and llxuriant.
Gray, faded hair. though no dis
grace, is a sign of old age, and as we
all desire a youthful and attractive
appearance. get busy at once with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
and look years younger.
