THE RING CEREMONY.

At the conclusion Of the marriage"
ceremony, prayer was offered by Rev.
DR.. Johnson. The ceremony Of plac-
ing the ring, by the groom upon the
finger Of the bride was impressive.
A flower girl carried the same up to
the altar in silver receptacle, con-
tanning the ring and white flowers:
Then began the wedding march out
as it had taken place upon the en-
trance of the party. A movie picture
camera operated by white photo

UNITS OF VALUE

Every store, bank or business in
stitution of any kind in Grangeville
is a unit of material value in the
growth of this community. Each
legitimate enterprise contributes its
proportionate share in the prosper
ity of this town. How strong these
units will be depends largely upon
the patronage that is given them by
the citizens of our community.
1t is our duty to support these
units of value to the fullest exten.

home encourages the rocal business
man to increase his service and en-
ables him to carry a wider selection
of merchandise. Thus we help our

THE AUTO HOBO

Recently we've been noticing in ex-
changes occasional items that lead
us to believe this country is in for
a new type of hobo We have not
seen as many tramps in recent years
as once migrated through these
parts, and recent newspaper comment
leads us to the belief that they have
been transformed into a new and
more modern class of rovers, that
they now travel in Pullman car style
instead of on the bumpers.
One editor points out that the auto
hobo has hit his section ON several
occasions recently, and that the coun-
try is about to be infested with them.
1T is easy for a common, ordinary
tramp to secure a discarded flivver
that can easily be made to run. He
can get from one town to another
with ease, and instead of Cumming"
n bed in a haymow he can sleep in
his car alongside the road. He can
easily pick up a chicken here and
roasting ears there and be miles
away before the owner misses them.
He can make his campfire where he
pleases and he gets his gasoline mon
ey by begging if. just as he once got
enough to keep himself supplied with
booze.
He is not in danger of arrest for
the speed limit. because he

IN this way he may discover wha;

he least suspects them.

turn losses into profits, but it will
serve to point out the mistakes of

avoiding them in future years. No

FARM BOOKKEEPING

No modern business man would
think of conducting a store or fac
tory year after year without keep
ing records to show whether he is
making or losing money Yet many
farmers try to get along with no
records at all, or keep records so in
complete and haphazard as TO be of
little value.
Many progressive farmers do
keep books in practical way and
these are usually the ones who make
a success of farming. They realize
that they are business men, engaged
in the greatest business in the world
and they adopt business methods ac-
cordingly.
Not only should a farmers books
show the total amounts of his re-
,eipts and expenditures, but they

TEAMWORK FOR OUR TOWN

In every city, town and hamlet
we may find strong competition in
business, differences in politics and
religion, social rivalries and personal
antagonisms-and these will probab-
ly always exist to a greater or less
extent
But there is one common ground
on which all should be willing to
meet, laying aside personal grievances
and prejudices-that is, where he
common welfare of "our town" is
concerned.
In other words, no matter how
much we may disagree and fight a.
mong ourselves, we should stand up
for our town against all opposition.
This sort of teamwork is what makes
a town worth while insures its prog
ress and better understanding
among its people.
BY Joining with an enemy or rival
in some movement for the betterment
of the community, we often find him
to be a pretty good sort of fellow,
after all.
Development of Strong commune
ty spirit is essential to community
advancement and no personal feel
ngs should be permitted to stand in
is way. Loyalty and teamwork are
he things that count.

TOWN OF COOLEY WILL
STAY In APACHE COUNTY

Under an opinion handed down by
the supreme court Saturday dinlissing
the complaint filed in that court by
Navajo county regarding the southern.
end of the boundary line between Nav.
ajo and Apache counties, the latter
county will still continue to assess and.
collect taxes from the property Of the
stlwanill town of Cooley, estimated to
be worth in excess of 81 100000, or
about one-twelfth Of the total assessed
valuation of the county.
G.. B. Wilson of Flagstaff was the
attorney for Apache county during
the contest of the case.
The opinion of the court, written
by Justice Frank H. Lyman and con-
Cured in by Chief Justicee McAllister
and Justice H. d. Ross, holds that
the complaint of Navajo county IS
based upon am untenable construction
of the statute, by reason of the fact
that the legislature designated the
boundary line between the two colln-
ties as the range line between town
ships % and "a.
The dispute arose over strip OF
land south of second standard par
allel north 2,994.42 feet in width and
about 65 miles long. In the northern
end Of this strip is the town of Cooley
and its sawmills and the terminus
of the Apache Railroad company's line
from Holbrook. Apache county claim
ed it and has been collecting the taxes
from the town.
It developed at the hearing of the
case several weeks ago that this was
the real issue in the case and that the
land in the strip south Of Cooley was
mostly Indian reservation and unsur-
yeyed lands.
It was brought out in the case that
the legislature, in designating the
boundary line between the two coun-
The Coconino sun., 1924-01-18

ties when Navajo was carved from
portion of Apache county, fixed the
line as the range line between town
ships % and % to its intersection with
Graham county. The range line, il
was stated, had prior to that date
been surveyed as far south as the sec
ond standard parallel north and from
that point there was no survey.
Navajo county contended that the
boundary line was the continuation Of
the range line from the point where it
stopped on the second standard paral-
lei Apache county contended that
the boundary line was still the range
line.
Until 1868 the line south Of the sec
cnd standard parellel had not been
surveyed, but in that year a govern
ment surveyor, it was stated, made a
survey for the range line for five or
six miles south to the boundary of the
Indian reservation. He fixed the range
line 2,994.42 feet west of the point
where the other range line ended, and
Apache county took possession of that
strip of land.
No dispute, the opinion states, ap-
pears to have been made regarding
the strip until long after this survey
had been made, and then the COM
plant was filed. 1t was brought out,
and admitted by both sides, the opin-
ion, states, that all along the range
line surveyed north of the second
standard parallel, the range line eth
er logged to the east or west at ev-
cry standard parallel for correction
purposes, and followed this line to the
next parallel, this being done to cor
rect the convergence of the longi
tudes of the poles.
In handing down an opinion in the
case, the case of Yuma county against
Maricopa county over the boundary
between those counties is cited, in
which the opinion of the court was
based on the legislative wording and
Yuma county was declared to be en-
titled to a line surveyed in accordance
with the statute
