FEDERAL COURT FINES
ARIZONA BOOTLEGGERS $21,51O

M. e. Cassidy, federal director of
prohibition in Arizona, has just added
to his trophies three large stills,
found in remote valleys Of the Super
stititon mountains and believed to
have been one of the main sources of
bootleg liquor in central Arizona, for
they had capacity for turning out
100 gallons of moonshine a day. 1t
was learned that the stuff, costing
less than so cents gallon to manu-
facture, found ready sale to bootleg
gets at $40 gallon.
Mr.. Cassidy declares that he has
found no evidences in Arizona of cen
trail bootlegging authority or of any
"rings," though many law violators
have been captured. In two years
his department has participated in
2300 arrests and has had 81 per cent
of convictions of the cases brought
into court. 1t is considered that this
conviction record especially is notable
as showing the temper of the people
of Arizona, represented by their
Juries, concerning the application of
the Volstead act.
In the last federal court terms have
been SS convictions, with fines aggre-
eating 21,510. Bonds amounting to
more than $4,000 were collected in
April from II defendants who failed
to appear for trial. More than 300
cases are now pending against about
100 defendants. Comprehensive raids
have been made in most of the Ari-
zona towns, sometimes within a few
weeks of each other, after the boot
leggers had begun to think they had
an extended lease ON life.

LEE COUNTY'S ACHIEVEMENT {

Journal)-Our heartiest congratulations to Lee
County 1t has achieved what educational author
tiles pronounce ''the most perfect system of school
consolidation of which we have record" During
the last four years the county's eighteen schools
have been consolidated into three "where teachers
are trained for specific grades and where the build
ings and surroundings are positive in practically
every influence that can be brought to bear upon
the life and development of the child. Moreover
there is a nine-months term, continuous term.

fessor T. O. Martin and Miss Lurline Parker. of

MAKE 1T WORTH WHILE


boosts his home town does not do it primarily
ecause he gets direct financial returns from that
boosting. There has to be lot of self-sacrifice
and unselshness about the boosting game, in the
very nature Of it.
However, there is no question that boosting
needs to be made more popular
If a booster is made the object OF evity of slurs
ii he IS accused Of being merely pubcityseek
er with no actual concern for the welfare of the
city-lt means that the community will gradual
y lose its boosters. If, on the other hand the
booster receives the moral and business support
of those who believe in boosting, it means that
the town will surely drive ahead
Boosting should be made less of a thankess
task If a knocker and booster are asking for
your business, all other things being equal do
you give it to the knocker or the booster?
If you give the business to the knocker, YOU are
boosting the knocking game If you give it to the
booster, you are boosting the boosting game That
is about all there is to it. The logic is itescapabe
When this principle soaks in-when the cti-
zens OF a community more generally act on this
principle-the community will go ahead faster
than ever

A LAUGH A DAY KEEPS THE WRINKLES

selfish and inconsderate and conceited, and not
have 1t show in your face. You can't lose your
eyes in anger and bitterness, and not have them
telling you when you not at your best behavior
You can not tighten your lips in meanness, and
not have more than hint OF the evil within YOU
You can not spend half your time frowning and
not have teW permanent lines creep in
a laugh day keeps the wrinkles away Only
multiply that by hundred Beauty goes deeper
than the skin. You can prove that to yourself in
Eve minutes in front of the mirror

is what keeps away the wrinkles and makes one

FUNERAL FLOWERS prominent church
official ten years ago started an international
movement to abolish the sending of flowers to fu-
nerals He said, Take the roses and put them,
rot on a coffin but i'll the lapel of the coat of the
aboring man his way to work"
The gentleman did not succeed in aboshing
custom that is essentially beautiful. A love for
flowers is a sign Of refinement native or acquir-
ed. A flower is symbol of joy. In its living tex
ture Nature concentrates all the glow OF sunlig ht
and the sparkle of the stars. There is an appealing
tenderness in their friendly faces, that has made
them seem appropriate to bereaved friends But
sometimes the custom of sending flowers to fun
erals is SO overdone as to constitute heavy tax
on families that can i'll afford it, for it has come
to the point where people frequently are called
stingy for not doing it,
The sentiment Of love and sympathy is often
more eloquently expressed in the little bunch OF
blossoms plucked by lady from her garden than
it is in the banet of sent by the fraternity
to which the deceased may have belonged. And
those who grieve for their dead know this to be
true.
