CHARLIE PRIEST In LAST
LAP RACE FOR CONSTABLE


Charlie Priest received the demo-
cratic nomination for constable Flag
staff precinct by good substantial
majority in the recent primaries, dem
onstrating that though he is new in
politics he has lot of friends and
they have confidence in him.
Charlie has lived in this country a
long time, in fact all of the time since
boyhood except when he was away
fighting in the big war. He knows a
lot of people as we'll as local condi-
tons and all of the country around
hereabouts, is hustler, Eevel-heatled,
and will give a good account of him
self if elected in November, which he
says he is going to be.
A constable has a lot of work to
do, policing many cases for the justice
of the peace, serving numerous papers
and frequently having to make long
trips into out of the way places. 1t
it not a snap job at the best and lots
of times is a whole lot worse than
that.

valve engine, but the fuse power mas
been increased 25 per cent. The new
engine, refined for power and smooth
ness, has a removable head, perfect
ly machined firing chambers, cylinders
ground to exact limits, and the un-
usual Studebaker feature, in a car at
near this price, Of crankshaft and con-
Meeting rods machined on all surfaces.
Like the special-six and the big-six,
the engine in the new standard-six
is now a unit power plant. This car,
it is claimed, has one of the easiest
gear shifting systems ever put on mo-
tor cars.
Huge, genuine balloon tires, with
natural second growth hickory wheels,
are regular equipment. The steering
gear has been specially designed for
ease in handling with balloon tires, a
point women appreciate. Very large
and powerful 2-wheel brakes will be
regular equipment.
Optional are Studebaker's new hy-
draulic 4-wheel brakes. These are the
first hydraulic brakes that operate by
power OF motor, rather than drivers
foot, ever used on an American car.
They are absolutely non-locking. A
new emergency brake operates from
a lever on the dash, multiplying brak-
ing effort times, through the pro-
pellor shaft.
A new bumper attachment, front
and rear, prevents the usual weak
ening of the frame and the marring
of the looks of the car The 19-gal-
lon gas tank is 3-seam container,
The Coconino sun., 1924-09-26

seams solder-soaked, leak-proof 1t is
protected by an attractive dust shield.
Regular equipment include: sun
visor automatic windshield cleaner,
cowl ventilator, electric horn, carpet
covered foot rest, robe rail, walnut
finished instrument board with instru-
ments grouped under glass and set
on a silver background indirectly
lighted, including clock, amlneter, oil
pressure guage, gasoline guage. In
addition, there is a stop light, tire
carrier with lock, and spare rim.
Studebaker designers say many cars
in much higher price classes do not
possess the upholstery that's going in
to the new standard-six. The duplex
phaeton, duplex roadster and coupe
roadster, for instance, have genuine
chrome tanned Spanish grain leather
on cushions and seat backs. The
closed models have mohair of fine
quality The color is a rich light
taupe Cushions have specially made
coil springs with coil spring side-ties
to increase comfort, steel frames with
quilted upholstery covering, cotton
burlap backing. genuine curled hair
cover. The seats are placed at cor
rect angle for easiest riding, as de-
termined by actual tests.
This car would cost motorists
many hundreds of dollars more If a
small production manufacturer made
it, provided, of course, he put the
same quality of workmanship and ma
terials into it," Mr.. Waldhaus says

WHEAT GROWERS HOLD
LIVELY BOARD MEETING

A meeting of the board of directors
of the Colorado Wheat Growers
association was held in Haxtun We'd
nesday evening, with some forty or
fifty members Of the association, in
Guiding members of the board, pres
ent.
Bruce Lampson, general manager of
the association, and Joseph Plummer,
OF Akorn. Were the main speakers on
behalf of the association and pointed
out that the past year, owing to un-
usual conditions which had been de-
cidedly unfavorable for the orderly
marketing of wheat, and that because
OF the demand for milling syheat in
Colorado, individual buyers who We're
able to dispose Of their best quality
wheat within the state were often
able to pay a price considerable in
excess OF the price paid by the asocia-
ton.
Most OF the farmers expressed
themselves as being very much dis
satisfied with the results obtained by
the association and several OF them
openly declared their intention of dis
regarding the association contract
and marketing their wheat this year
independently.
Joseph Plunmer. chairman OF the
board OF directors. told Of the work
that had been accomplished and
spoke al some length OF the future
OF the organization. He expressed
the opinion that the assosiation had
been at least indirectly responsible
for the highar prices offered by out
side concerns and did not favor dis
solution because the association had
just passed through an off year. He
also pointed out that the cost OF
handling wheat through the associa.
tion. aside from freight had been
about IL and one half cents per bu-
shel, which he said was less than the
cost Of handling through private con.
Germs.
The meeting lasted until midnight

NUMEROUS SPEAKERS ON
POLITICS SOON

The active speaking campaign OF
the political parties will not start un-
Ill after the candidates on the several
tickets have been formally notified
that they have been chosen by their
convention. After these notifications
have taken place the country may
look for numerous speakers to appear
on the stump and present the claims
OF the parties for whom they speak.
While it is true that certain men
claiming to represent organized labor
have stated their preferences, it is a
well-known fact that labor, that is.
the body of men making up the rank
and file of the different organizations
deeply resent the treatment labor
received at the hands Of the dem
ocratic convention when the Davis
managers ruthlessly showed George
L. Berry, leading democratic candi-
date for vice president, to one side
for Brother Chas." Bryan, despite
the fact that Berrys friends had
been told by the Davis adherents that
he, Berry, would make most &C
ceptable running mate. Major Berry's
slap in the face by the Davis folks
has also caused the veterans Of the
World War to deeply resent the
cruel and unnecessary treatment of
one who served with distinction in the
World War,
The talk of labor being solid for
the independent candidate, or any
candidate, no one takes seriously.
Labor, farmers, business men, clerks
or any other body of citizens, cannot
be delivered by anyone to any can
didate. American citizens, cannot be
bossed around like sheep. Labor, or
any other body of citizens, cannot be
fooled by beautiful phrases or by
promises which any thinking man
knows cannot be fulfilled.

fees of students. a higher fee is

HORSES DECREASE DURING
PAST -FOUR YEARS

The horse is running a losing race
with the automobile in Colorado.
But the Mule is stepping into the
widening breach between the two
and more than holding his own.
Statistics compiled by the State I'm
migration department shows that
the use OF automobiles and trucks
has steadily increased in Colorado
during the past four years while the
number OF horses on the farms dur
ing the same period has decreased
with equal regularity. In 1920 the
state issued 1856 owners license
FOR automobiles. The number in
1921 was 1896; in 1922 II increas-
ed TO l5l.iss; and in 1923 to 49,
6eS. The increase in the four years
was 54,16S. o. As per cent.
The number OF horses in the state
IN 1929 as shown by assessors re-
turns was 337.sO3. In 1921 the mum
Der decreased 10 333. .66s; in 1922 to
Sls,7es; and in 1928 to 3O4262. Dur
ing the four years the aggregate de-
crease was 1854 or 10 per cent. 1t
il significant that the decrease in the
number OF horses was only 2l.522
less than the increase in the number
OF automobile owners license
II the horse and the automobile
are put in the same class as a utility
o: convience and pleasure, the mule
and the truck may likewise. be
linked together as a utility OF neces-
sity which results in more interest
ing comparisons. The number OF
truck licenses issued in Colorado In
1920 was 7,74s. In 1921 It increased
70 s,iiS,in 1922 to l0.S2O and In 1928
70 1851 The increase In the four
years was J.6O2.or 72 per cent
II the parallel was the same az
shown by the horse and the auto
mobile, the number Of mules would
show a decrease but the reverse II
true. The number OF mules In the
state Increased each year from IS
eS2 in 1920 TO s252s IN 1928. or a
total gain in the four years OF 3.s46
or 70 per cent, In other words. the
mule has progressed in greater
proportion than the truck the reason
FOR which are left 10 the realm Of
speculation
In the four year period, the aver,
age value oi the horse a. shown by
ahsessors returns, gradually deoreas,
