Miss Ardelle Switzer, Mrs. j. D.
Jackson and Mrs. Dan Williams, be-
ing duly sworn, each for herself and
not one for the other, says that on
the 28th day of September, 1924, a
meeting Of the members of the First
Church of Christ of Flagstaff, Arizona
was held at Flagstaff, Arizona, for the
purpose of electing six directors Of
The First Church of Christ of Flag
staff, a proposed religious corpora
ton; that affiants are the persons
who were appointed and selected as
officers to hold said election; that at
said election the following named per-
sons, towit, j. w. Saunders, Baird W.
Brinton, George w. Rector, G. P. Han
ma, w. o. Cook, and ]. D. jackson,
who are members of said Church, were
duly selected directors of said Cor

of the issuance to it of the certificate
of incorporation by the Corporation
Commission of Arizona until the next
annual election Of directors, as pro-
vided for in the Articles of Incorpora-
tion of said Corporation, and until

to give it trial. Navajo children are
accustomed to this "delicacy" which
is said to be extremely n0urishing
and it is expected that it will add ma
terially to the school rations. The
herd of 30 fine-bred milch goats was
purchased from j. w. Bush of Dilkor
in the Castle Butte country and is
already "at home" in the agency stock
yards. Our tin can supply will nc
doubt diminish rapidly from this time
forth and less work will be necessary
on cleanup days.
A band of sheep numbering about
two thousand, and belonging to
Messrs. Young and Williams, were
dipped at the agency vats the past
week.
Mrs. Tillie johnson of Tuba City
is acting as assistant matron for the
school girls at present.
Miss Sadie Franklin, one of the
Leupp extention Navajo girls, was
sent home last week from Sherman
institute, the Indian school at River
side, Calf. The young lady had been
in that institution for three years and
in her senior year at present, but her
health broke quite noticably of late
and it was decided best to send her
home to recuperate, with the hope that
she may be able to return later and
graduate with her class. Her home
on the reservation is near Bird
Springs, 80 miles from the agency, but
she spent most of the week at the
local hospital.
Rabbit hunters have made a dis
covery of something unusual in the vi
cinity of what are known as rabbit
Rocks" between Leupp and Canyon
Diablo. While soaring up rabbits,
Clarence Taptuka heard a distinct sort
of roar, more easily described as re-
sembling heavy water falls AS this
would be rather an unusual find IN
the heart of the desert, he began g
vigorous and systematic search for
the source of the queer noise. His
visions of an oil gusher were shattered
with the discovery of an air pocket
with an opening about one foot long
and a few inches across. The air was
blowing outward and anything hello
above the opening was blown away
with great force. Stones thrown in
gave no evidence of reaching bottom
When told of the incident most of US
were anxious to ''be shown" and next
day the air was found to be rushing
into the opening. Sand thrown above
it would be sucked in with the same
vigor as the previous rushing out. II
is understood to be simply an all
pocket with the other outlet at per
haps quite a distance, for to date il
has not beer located. The direction OF
the wind determines whether it blows
in or out, but we may yet find our.
selves in the vicinity of a second
Mammoth cave.

BOSTON WOOL MARKET

In the Boston wool market, trading
is as active as depleted stocks allow
Manufacturers are still taking on con-
siderable domestic wool at full prices
Fleeces have been advanced still fur
ther, especially for medium grades
Territories continue firm, with an up
ward tendency. Foreign markets are
a little easier. London closed below
the top figures of the series, but 5 to
10 per cent above the July closings.
Australian markets show little change
for the best lots, but the selection is
generally of the Continental types
Men's-wear worsteds are reported to
be doing little better. Manufactur
ers are understood to be we'll stocked
with domestic woods, but are buying
in foreign markets very sparingly. Tht
Boston market is being slowly lifted tt
the parity of foreign markets, and il
some cases is only about per cent
below Australian markets. American
buying to date has been small, at the
last London series less than thou
sand bales, but if prices come down
bit, buying is likely to increase very
abruptly.

Messrs. H. H. Hill and r. w. Col
lett, spent several days this week in
Leupp, trying to interest our people
generally in the Fidelity Building &
Loan association having headquarters
at Winslow. They went on to Oraibi
Thursday.
Leupp agency was honored this
week by a visit from w. H. Shipe,
supervisor of industry in the Indian
service, who came out from Washing
ton at the request of Commissioner
Burke, to assist in stimulating senti-
ment favorable to Indian employment
in foreign fields. By that we do not
mean, across the sea, or continent, but
foreign to the Navajo who is wont to
cling to the desert. Cotton fields, ir-
rigation dam construction and various
industries in southern Arizona are
crying for help, and it is hoped the
Indians of this section will see fit to
avail themselves of the opportunity
of earning better living for them
selves and families now that their own
meagre crop of corn and melons is
taken care Of. With Mr. Shipe on the
trip was c.. E. Dagenett, head of the
lnUlan EmplOynoHG bureau, WIFI HIS
headquarters at Phoenix; also Mr..
Gould and E. j. Walker, both repre-
sentatives of the Arizona Cotton
Growers association.
Two of the big transport trucks, be-
longing to the Indian Employment .bu-
reau of Phoenix, passed through here
Wednesday enroute from Fort De-
fiance to Tuba City. We understand
quite delegation of Indians are go
ing from the latter place to take EN-
ployment in the cotton fields of south
ern Arizona.

The Indian office at Washington has
sanctioned an unusual experiment for
Leupp school, the introduction of
goats milk for the Indian children.
Feed for cattle is scarce in this vi
cinity and the expense of shipping it
too great for a dairy herd to be main
tained, as is done at most Indian
schools. Consequently Superintendent
Marble conceived the idea of this ex-
pertinent and was granted permission

near the shoulder of her right arm,
but spread the full length of that ex-

alarming condition. 1t is now almost
normal again.
Quite disgraceful stunt was pulled
off Thursday night on the agency
grounds, the whole affair resulting
from moonshine or some other vile
stuff indulged in by two of our Indian
boys. They were locked up in jail to

DETROIT, May 5.-"A girl
must live. What matters love
as long as food and shelter are
provided"
This terse and sophisticated
philosophy Of life was ex-
pressed today by Mary Gill,
petite, young girl, held at the
women's detention home charged
with contributing to the delin-
quency of Leila Foster, sixteen,
who came to Detroit with her
from GAINESVILLE, Ohio, where
the two girls had run away from
their homes.
The girls, arrested at A78
Selden avenue with two young
men, Myron Collins, eighteen,
and Oliver Mimmons. They
were living in an apartment as
two married couples, police say.
Miss Gill went under the
name of Mrs. Mimmons and
Miss Foster was known as Mrs.
Collins. Both young men are
held by police also charged with
contributing to the delinquency
of the Foster girl, who is under
age.
