June, Some Month!

June is the month for brides.
Coming this time in leap year, an
open season on poor man, it ought
to be an awful good month for
them. Step up, girls, pick your
man, lead him up and get him
tangled.
Aside from all that, June has
jumped into fame in various other
directions. Way back in 1852, on
the 10th, Ben Franklin drew light
ming from the clouds. Ben had done
a lot of other things before that,
and he did several afterward, but
this lightning stunt was perhaps
fraught with more consequential
ness than the others.
The 18th is Flag Day.
On the 17th, in IT'S, the battle
of Bunker Hill was fought.
The 21st is the longest day of the
year.
The World war gets into the an
nivesaries on the 24th, when there
was big Italian victory on the
Austrian front, in 1913.
Again the World war, for in
1917, June 26th, the American
troops landed in France.

When Mr.. McMullen came here
four years ago he made it clear that
he would not stay here more than
two, or, at the most, three years, and
then would leave to take special
studies at one of the larger univer-
sites. He already has stayed year
longer than the farthest time limit
he set. He now has been offered an
assistant professorship in Teachers
college, Columbia university, New
York, with opportunity to at the
same time take special work, and feels
that he cannot afford not to accept
the offer. This is the second time he
has been offered the position at Col
ulnbia.
1t is believed the Normal school
board will ultimately prevail upon
Mr.. McMullen to stay here, at least
for another year. But there is moth
ing definite that can be said about it..
Flagstaff and northern Arizona peo-
pie sincerely hope Mr.. McMullen will
decide to remain. They know he has
done and is doing a great deal in
building up the school and increasing
its prestige throughout the entire
west. In fact, one of the strongest
evidences of this is his being re-

The selection of the jury began
Monday morning. This was finally
accomplished next afternoon. There
were 110 jurors called, failure to serve
some and excuses of others cutting
the number that showed up for duty
Monday morning to SO.
Judge John j. Sweeney of Prescott
presided and L. O. Tucker of that city
was court reporter. The states case
was handled by County Attorney
Frank Harrison, assisted by Judge
George III. Crosby, Jr. c. B. Wilson
was attorney for the defendant.
The proceedings developed good
deal of argument, but most if was re-
freshingly good-natured.
There was considerable conflict in
testimony, mainly regarding what was

as possible, but did not get there un-
til after the injured man was dead.
Justice of the Peace R. j. Kidd enl-
paneled a coroner's jury and left
Flagstaff shortly before three that
afternoon in an automobile, being met
at Mormon lake by the lumber COM
pany's railroad speeder and taken to
the scene of the accident. The jury
was: L. w. Lewis, R. L. Rhinehart, R.
G. Stevenson, N. G. Layton, DR.. E.
S. Miller and Lorum Pratt, Jr.
AS the jury was on its way out it
met Rev. FIR. Albouy and the two sis
ters of the deceased on their way
back from the scene of the accident.
The news Of the injury, closely fol-
lowed by that of the death, was a
great shock to Flagstaff people very
many of whom knew, liked and admir-
ed Mr. McGonigle. He was blessed
with many friendships, won through
his high qualities and genial person
ality.
Mr. McGonigle was born in Leaven-
worth, Kansas, 56 years ago and had
been in this section for the last 80
years, practically all of that time oc-

which has not lost a game so far this
season, but is rated as at least second
best in the state. Knibbs, who play

Features were Dingy Buffers

as assistant professor in Normal
school education. Connection with the
faculty of Columbia would add great
ly to Mr.. McMullen's standing among
the nations leading educators
Mr.. McMullen came here from
Teachers college, Greeley, Colorado,
in 1920. There he had been director
of the training school. Before that
he was head of the science depart
ment, state normal school, at Valley
City, N. D., recognized as one of the
leading normal schools in the United
States. He is B. S. of DePauw un-
iversity and University of Chicago,
and A. Nj. of Columbia university.
Mr.. McMullen and his talented wife
and daughters have taken prominent
part here socially, and Mrs. McMul-
len in local and state work in the Wo-
mans club. They are immensely
popular and if the decision to leave
is unchanged, it will cause genuine
sorrow here.
All three members of the Normal
board attended the meeting-C. O..
Case, state superintendent of public
instruction, of Phoenix; James Ken
nedy, secretary, of Williams, and
Sam Proctor of Winslow.

and by the defendant following his
arrest.
Smith was on the stand in his own
behalf several hours on Wednesday
and his testimony was graphic. He
said practically all of those in Charlie
Wade's poolroom at Williams had been
drinking preceding the trouble. There
were two boys in the place. Professor
T. H. Cureton, superintendent of
schools at Williams, had requested
that boys under the tender ages not
be allowed in the poolroom and Char
lie Wade asked them to leave. Smith
insisted one of the boys was old
enough. Argument arose over his
age, betting started and Smith began
to write check when, he asserted,
Charlie Wade told him he could run
his own poolroom without his, Smiths
help, and struck him, knocking him
down.

the National Old Trails highway as
far east as Kansas City. Editor
Cook is getting out 72-page guide

there is misinformation given out

 7 CREDIT FOR TIRE
Pioneer In Development Of New 5. Balloon Type Auto
 mobile Tire

To Harvey Firestone goes the credit for pioneering and developing the bal loon type tire to it's present state of high efficiency. Mir. Firestone is one of the oldtimers in the tire industry and his keen foresight has enabled him to recognize the worth of many develop ments in the industry long before cofz- petitie manufacturers were aware of them.
 The Firestone company has been a leader in the solid and pneumatic tire. field for many years. It has pioneered many practical types of tires srims, and tire accessories. Both Fire stone truck and passenger car tires have been a favorite with motor vehicle producers for long time, as these pro- ducers are anxious to equip their cars with the tires which will please the greatest number of people. It is es- timated that more manufacturers use Firestone tires than any other make by large ma jority. 4. sa
 The balloon tire seems to be coming into It's merited share of popularity Certainly, the development of the bal loon tire is one of the most important events which has come about in the industry for many years. No one im- proyement will mean so much to the comfort and ultimate economy of the modern motor car. Practically every manufacturer of motor cars has recog- nized the merit of the balloon tire and has made arrangements to furnish them as optional factory equipment dn his cars. In fact, some of the more optimistic manufacturers declare that Firestone has developed tire that will smoe day practically displace the pres ent type of high-pressure tire.

Only last week an ad by a reputable Birmingham dealer appeared in The Age-Herald like this: Ford touring. 1916 model, for S75. This car is in good mechanical condition: $50 recently spent in over- hauling the motor Such an ad by any reputable dealer deserves consid- eration by any buyer who Is in the market for such car.
 Furthermore, the dealer does not care so much for the immediate money as to get these cars moving and secure some interest on his investment.

AT THAT, IT'S A GOOD STORY But The Petit Parisien Would Lose Out
 In 8 GeOgraphy Test

It's a far cry from lower California to Paris, but the little town of San Ygnaci "'breaks into" the Petit Parisien with the following paragraph:
 Not far from the city of San Diego, in Lower California, lies the small town of San Ygnacio. In itself the town of fers nothing particularly Interesting or singular, though it's inhabitants have attracted some attention by the Obsti- nate way in which they cling to life.
 If you die there between the ages of so and 100, you are considered to have died young and your fellow townsmen bewail your premature end The span of normal existence in San Ygnacio is generally set at anywhere from 12O to itation, the oldest inhabitant numbering his summers to the amazing total of 185.
 Still with every faculty unimpaired, this Methuselah is always happy to relate his adventures in the American Revolution and loves to tell how he hap pened to be with Washington one time when the general received a visit from young French traveller named the Vicomte de Chateaubriand.
 The above IS on the authority Of an English traveller who adds-a curious detail-that the citizens of San Ygnario are the heaviest drinkers of alcohol in all California"
 Perhaps the foregoing tale would lose nothing in interest to Parisian readers were they to he told that San Diego is not in Lower California or that Lower California is not part of the United States. Of course, anything is possible in Mexico.
