CAMERON SAID 70
HAVE HAD HEATED WORDS
WITH ATTORNEY GENERAL

Senator Ralph Cameron of Arizona,
who has gone to Maine for a rest,
stopped off in Washington long en-
ough to have heated interview with
Atty. Gen. Stone demanding that the
present United States attorney in
Arizona be removed and selection
recommended by the senator be APP
pointed in his place. Aside from GER
tain local reasons, Cameron is said
to be displeased at the interior de-
partment and the department Of
justice over suits filed against his
friends and associates in connection
with the Bright Angel Trail and adj
joining properties. This appears, in
the minds Of well-informed Washing
ton men, to be the real reason for the
fight Cameron has made against the
present United States attorney in
Arizona, and it is reported that he
used heated language in his interview
with the attorney general.

INDIAN MILLER'S DAUGHTER
BROKE LIFE-SAVING RECORD

May Miller, daughter of Indian
Miller of Flagstaff, recently broke all
existing records in the junior life saw
ing test at Alhambra park plunge, Los
Angeles.
She made 9S points out of a possible
hundred.
Francisco Snyder, another Indian
girl, made 96 points. The best score
up to that time had been 94.
The clipping at hand says: Miss
Miller's only fault was an imperfect
service dive in starting to the bottom
of the plunge to recover articles that
in the water would have the weight of
a human body. She and Miss Gardner,
who is large and strong for her age,
had no difficulty in towing each other
around in the plunge in the various
carrying events, and both of them
showed expert proficiency in breaking
strangle holds that could be obtained
by drowning persons"
Miss Miller is Is years old.
Her father feels very proud of this
record, which, in a city of nearly a
million population, must be considered
very good.
When eleven years Of age she beat
all the common school contestants in
a free-for,all foot race, although she
fell down once.
She is being given artistic dancing
lessons also, and Mr.. Miller contem-
plates having her taught music the
coming winter.

X. C. Stock Yards, August II, 1924.

K C. Stock Yards, August II, 1924.
Though cattle receipts were larger
than week ago they we're below nor
nal for this season of the year. Best
classes of fed steers and grass fat
steers were steady and other kinds,
except stockers and feeders which
were strong, were lower. Hog prices
eased off Is cents compared with last
weeks close, but trade had fairly
active tone. Shipping demand was
evident, and packers buy was small.
Lambs were steady and sheep strong
er in spots.
Beef Cattle
Killers and order buyers took the
good to choice steers readily today at
fully steady prices compared with last
weeks decline, but TIE plain to fair
classes which predominated sold slow
ly. Receipts were principally pastur-
ed cattle, and the quality of the offer
ings was below the recent average.
Receipts are falling short of a year
ago, but the fact that the common
classes are being run first indicates
better offerings later. Fed steers
sold at $3.50 to $10.75, best grade
grass steers up to $8.25, and wintered
steers up to 500. Fed cows and
heifers were scarce at steady prices.
Grass fat grades were slow, but not
quotably lower. Veal calves were
steady.
Stochers and Feeders
Demand for stock and feeding cat
tie was active at strong prices. The
best quality sold first, but the palmer
classes were in demand also. Re
ceipts of stock calves showed a ma
terial increase.
Sheep and Lambs
Practically all the offerings in the
sheep division were lambs that solo
at $12.75 to $3.50. Native lambs
sold at $12.75, Idaho lambs S13.25,
Arizona lambs S13 and Colorado
lambs $13.35 to $3.50. Some Western
ewes brought $7.10 Only a few odd
lots Of feeders were available.

At a small country school the
scholars were having lesson on
animals. The teacher had asked a
number of questions which were easily
answered. At length, she said:
''Why does q dog hand cut his
tongue when running?"
A lad who had not answered before
held up his hand.
Eyes, Tommy, what it is?" she in
quired.
"To balance its tall" was the re-
