w ANACAOuA . C0JOJCO d cdl K1dIlOW-
cen Carnival last Friday night when
the Kah nj Henni Hah Yah Camp
Fire Girls under the guardianship of
Mrs. Gladys ". Jones gave their
first public entertainment.
At 8 o'clock the guests were ad-
mitted to an elaborately decorated
high school auditorium. The spirit
of Halloween reigned everywhere.
A huge yellow moon rose over the
tops Of the cottonwood trees that
transformed the usual high school
room into forest. A camp fire
burned brightly at the foot of one of
the cottOnwoods. The pumpkins and
corn made one feel that the days
when 'the frost is on the pumpkin
and the folders in the shock" had
really come. A large black Angora
Haunting yellow tie added to the
reality of the Halloween scene Sill
houettes of pumpkins, cats, and bats
we're placed on the walls.
Out in the corridor everyone made
merry in true carnival style. Sew
eral booths were featured. In one
booth 25.8 pound Mellon Food Baby
was displayed, while in another dire
fortunes were predicted by a gypsy
girl. Confetti added to the carnival
Later in the evening q
program was given. The Camp Fire
Girls sang "Wahelo for Aye" This
number was followed by an aesthetic
dance by four of the Camp Fire Girls.
The dancers wore ballet costumes of
lavender pink, green and yellow.
The girls responded to repeated en-
cores.
A particularly pleasing number of
the evening was the solo dance of
little Bertha Garcia. Her grace and
utter lack of self-consciousness were
the cause of storms of applause
The appearance of two sheeted
ghosts with weirdly blinking eyes who
glided among the cottonwoods fin
ished the evenings entertainment.
During the entire performance cake,
candy, hot coffee and peanuts were
sold.
Social dancing completed the enjoy
able evening. Particularly good mu-
sic was furnished by the Jitney Four
orchestra.
The carnival was one of the most
elaborate and entertaining events ever
given in Wickenburg. The evening
was an entire success both socially
and financially. The Camp Fire girls
wish to express their appreciation to
the people of Wickenburg. for their
cordial support.

Col. Ponder made raid up In Mis-

they arrived ON the scene just as the
bugle sounded. A charge was order

by such surprise that they fed in all
directions like stampeded cattle, leav-

made quite a haul in horses, guns,
blankets, clothing, etc They they
made a hasty retreat for a day and
night until they got back within their
own lines. Later In the war Col.
Leeper played the same trick on Col.
Reeves. Reeves had been up in Mis-
souri, on a raiding trip and had re-
treated across the line to safety, as
he thought. after having ridden day
and night travelling a road about 4
miles northeast of Warm Springs near
Uncle Tom Pulliam's they left the road
and went over high hill and down in
the next hollow here they struck camp.
To their surprise, Col. Leeper's men
were i'm hot chase and just at day
break they crept up to the top of the
hill, raised the yell and charged down

1T has been my earnest hope that
% per cent reduction in taxes TO be
paid for the current year might be
provided by law before March u, cur

MANY people have been expecting
that such would be the case and de-

recommending that the public welfare
would be much advanced by temporar-

possible to see that any harm could
accrue from this action and there is
every prospect of resulting benefits
which would be very great
1T would be a positive step in the
