College Final Exercises
Are Full of Interest

Commencement exercises for West
ern State College were held Friday
afternoon of last week in the audi
torium. The orchestra, under the di-
rection of s. w. Mckinley, played a
march while the 3s graduates filed in.
Miss Alpha Sigfrid played very de-
lightful violin solo.
The address of the program was
given by DR.. Harry Elmer Barnes Of
Smith College, who gave the students
preparing to teach some valuable
pointers for their work DIR. Barnes
had as his subject, "The Challenge of
the New Order" and showed that he
knew his subject. He compared the
old way of living with the new, and
pointed out that the changes in the
last few years has been more pro-
nounced than for the many hundreds
of years proceeding Mckinley's presi-
dental administration. The people of
McKinley's day would have felt more
at home in the middle ages than they
would II transported suddenly up to
the present-day world. The new ord
er gives rs 4 continual challenge to
keep up and abreast Of the happen
ings. The teachers are necessarily
ones who must be the leaders, as the.f
are teaching the coming generation.
| DR.. John C. johnson of the college,
presented the classes, and DR.. F. NJ.
Russell, member of the State Board
of Trustees of Western State College,
gave out the diplomas with few well
chosen and clever remarks as to their
value.
School is closed now for short
month. The students departed last
Friday and Saturday in large numbers
and the trains on both days were
loaded to fullest capacity, while a
considerable number made their out

of parents and relatives came in to

bath room. He evidently had
just stepped in there when the
death stroke came. The upper
side of his face was slightly
bloody, probably bruised when
he fell. His expression was
peaceful. There was nothing to
indicate anything but a natural
death. DR.. r. o. Raymond was
called and made a casual exam
nation, but did not move the
body. AS we go to press the
corOner's jury is being empan-
eIIed. -;
The death evidently had Oc-
Cured during the preceding eve-
ming, probably some time be-
tween s and 10 o'clock.
Father Fabre ate dinner last
evening with A. C. Saunders of
The Sun staff, and seemed to be
in the best of health and spirits.
Father Vabre had complained
at intervals in the past of faulty
heart action, or slight heart
trouble that may have been or
ganic or may have been caused
by Indigestion. AS far as
known it did not worry him.
He had been in his usual
health apparently, up to a very
few hours before his death. For
he visited Williams that day.. in
company with Attorneys C. B.
Wilson, Frank M. Gold and Geo.
III. Crosby, Jr. He was in his
usual good spirits.
Father Vabre's silver or twenty
fifth anniversary of ordination to the
priesthood was celebrated in Flagstaff
on December 8, 1920. Many of his
parishioners and many visiting priests
WED in doing him honor at the ban
quet that night.
Father Vabre then mentioned his
boyhood home, in sunny southern
France, his humble parentage, his
leaving France persuaded by Bishop
Granjon to come to America as
missionary among the Indians, a cali
that he accepted with alacrity because
of the hardships and dangers it pre-
sented.
But his work was not among In
dians, but among the white people.
He first came to Flagstaff % years
ago. He was about 81 years of age
when he died.
His work here during the last %
years met with wonderful success. A
large church, the parish house, St.
Anthony's academy-these are among
the visible results of his work.

SAFE-CRACKERS PUT OUT
OF BUSINESS AT KINGMAN

That Kingman was slated for a
real safe-cracking job is the opinion
of the officers here who last Mon
day picked up a car in Kingman la
den with a most complete outfit of
tools and materials used by crooks to
handle big jobs. The car was parked
in the baseball grounds and inasmuch
as camping is not allowed on these
grounds the officers noticed the car
and went over to take a look at it.
The car bore a California license
and in it were found four high-power-
ed guns and a shotgun, soup (nitro-
glycerine), dynamite, drills, masks
and other paraphernalia used by ex-
pert crooks.
The car was watched for some time
but the owners probably seeing the
officers when they first approached
the car, failed to show up. Endeav-
oring to trace the owners of the car,
the best information available con-
WINGED the officers that the car had
been driven into town by negro and
two white men who had disappeared.
The car was comparatively new
Chevrolet and it has since been ascer-
tained was stolen from a California
town.
Since then it has been learned that
a number of robberies had been COM
mitted between here and Los Angeles
which could probably be attributed to
this gang. With their tools taken
away from them they did not attempt
to "pull a job" in Kingman but had
it not been for the clever work of the
sheriff's office they might have put
one over here.
They had ten extra gallons of gaso-
line aboard as well as a gallon of oil
and apparently were ready for quick
get-away.-Kingman Miner.

There was some imposition of fines
for infractions real and imagined,
during which C. B. Wilson, Mac Nc

Cress and everybody else contributed,

Mr.. Curtis said scouting in Grand
Canyon council, comprising Coconino,
Navajo and Apache counties, is in bet
ter shape than ever before and there
are bound to be big strides forward
during the coming year. Arizona, he
said, is the first state in the union to
have complete council organization
covering every county in the state.
Mr.. AlberS' address will be publish
ed later. Mr.. Chisholm's talk en-
phasized in an interesting manner the
principle: "To realize that am bus
mess man and ambitious to succeed,
but that / am first an ethical man,
and wish no success that is not found
ed on the highest justice and moral
ity." He pointed out the better living
and social conditions that must fol-
low in any. community where this
principle is applied.
DR.. Fronske announced that the
new city flag, it is hoped, will be
raised and lowered each day by de-
tails appointed from the Boy Scouts.
Mr.. Case said Rotary and similar
organizations are doing a wonderfus
work, the part that most appeals to
him being the closer relationship, un-
derstanding and sympathy fostered
between the business men of the COM
munity and the schools.

of the cooperation of the organic

Deputy Regional Scout Executive
Edward L. Curtis gave an interesting
resume of the progress of Boy Scout
