steaming out OF
the hot fat and rested on the brown
paper until they were cool.
They were round doughnuts with
holes In the center. Sometimes Nelly
tried to drop one into the fat so that
1t would come the shape of figure g.
Usually when she tried to make
them particularly good shape they
didn't come out so well as now and
again they did by accident.
But they all were excellent to eat
and they all were pretty good shapes.
She used to cut out the doughnuts,
after the mixture was all finished and
when she had rolled them out on the
board in the kitchen, which she had COW
cred with flour so they couldn't stick,
with round top of tin which she
had washed carefully first.
Then she had the top Of little tin
which she used to make the hole in
the center Of every doughnut.
That was splendid and she loved the
big doughnuts with their round
holes.
They were such fat-looking dough-
nuts. They were such delicious, light
doughnuts.
But then she almost liked the holes
best of all.
OF course, perhaps they should not
be called the holes, as the holes in
the doughnuts were the real holes.
There was nothing to eat where there
was a hole OF course not. That
was absurd.
The dOughnuts were plenty big
enough without being solid. The holes
made the doughnuts just right.
But the parts she had cut out with
the smaller tin she cooked in the hot
fat after the doughnuts with the holes
had been cooked.
She called these the doughnuts'
holes. They came out round and
chubby and as cunning as could be.
She sprinkled these with powdered
sugar, too.
When she was all through there
were two huge platters covered with
doughnuts.
On one platter were the doughnuts
without the holes.
On the other platter were the
holes!
Yes, what had been taken out of
every doughnut In order to make the
hole was now a delicious little dough-
nut itself.
Quite different in shape to be sure,
but extremely good to eat

But she never called them anything

DRAW YOUR PAY AND SOAK THE BOSS?

II is easy to realize how tempermental man
of Colonel Mitchel's kind might "go off the han
die" when things did not suit him, or when actual
mistakes were being made by the powers above
but it is not reasonable to expect that subor-
dinates should have the right, whenever they saw
fit, TO run things as they pleased and bawl out
their superior officers 1t is not only possible but
very probable that the "boss" is not always right.
We would have 'fne" army, navy or airplane
service if each officer in the service arrogated to
himself the same method of 'free speech that
Colonel Mitchell assumes for himself. Colonel
Mitchell is only in the same fix that the great
mass of people of the United States find them
selves in. They may raise merry hades and con-
gress goes ahead, dealing out laws to suit itself
Not necessarily to suit ITSELF but at least COM
promise that viii secure majority vote. Colonel
Mitchell is rich. He could have better served his
purpose by resigning from the army, then starting
his war against its rules and regulations.
Admitting that Colonel Mitchell is brave man
and good officer what would the colonel have
done if one of his subordinates had attempted the
same sort of a "bawling out" stunt that he has
pulled on his superior officers?

SORT OF A WRONG ROUND ROBIN

Colonel Fred Breen, editor of the Coconino Sum-
the best weekly newspaper in the southwest, says
in last weeks issue that M. Quad wrote the Wolf
vile stories and to make the thing worse the
colonel spelled it "Wofevie."
One wonders.
The colonel has been circumnavlgatIng the
globe lately and presumably imbibing- that's the
right word-the wisdom of many nations, but this
thing of putting our good old friend Alfred Henry
Lewis in the discard don't seem just fair. There
may be some little question as to who wrote the
book of job or Homer's Iliad, but the authorship
of the Wolfvile yarns is beyond dispute and the
spelling of the towns name is likewise certain.
The above editorial is taken from the Miaml
Daily Silver Belt and takes decided rap at Col
Fred Breen. Funny thing. Colonel Fred recently
took rap at us for our spelling of 'sunburn" and
now finds himself in the same boat. Cheer up
colonel IF you will notice the belt around the
Miami Silver must have been tight for it drew in
too much on the word don't" ."-Nogales Herald.
Now this is getting queer. Min" Minhinnick,
the old geezer, pulled this in the Verde Copper
News Jerome, instead of the Miami Silver Belt, as
Editor Powell says. 1t was Minis" "don'ts, not
the Silver Belts. It's only wonder that Giragi
gang at Tombstone hadn't jumped us on account
of the Arizona kicker" not being included
We presume this gang of editors might get up
an argument as to whether or not "Thanatopsis"
was or was not written by Ring Lardner, but we'll
bet not one of them can tell who wrote the last
telephone directory.

SUNDAY NEWSPAPER TREES

Thousands of tons of our best big Sunday
newspapers are going to the Orient as left-overs
to be used as wrapping paper These great pa.
forest protection" dope and plead in red ink for
each and every patriotic American citizen to split
his kindling wood fine and prevent forest fires at
the cost of his life
Why?
Well, it looks to one up tree as though they
wanted more trees to sacrifice SO they could print
more papers, to "bull the advertisers into paying
them more money-for wrapping paper for the
Chinese, Japs and the Orient. Vast acreage of
American trees are sacrificed annually by these
great putocrats, just to fool the advertiser They
print tons upon tons of papers-never read, never
used-except wrapping paper in the vast
Oriental country, the country where American
tourists pay the freight both ways.
When you buy two or three pounds of Sun
day newspaper, just remember you are robbing
America of a few acres of timber, which should

CAUSE OF THE POSTAL DEFICIT

The postoffice deficit for the first year ended
June so is estimated at $37,149,000. A part of
this is dueNto the fact that the new rates were in
effect only two and one-half months, whereas the
higher salaries went back for six months. But
there will be deficit after these retroactive sal
aries are paid up, due largely to the practice OF
requiring the postoffice department to carry a
number of expensive services, the cost of which
should not be saddled upon users of the mails.
For example, how many people know that no
charge is made for carrying publications printed
in raised letters for the blind. 1t costs trifling
sum, comparatively, and is a noble work. but the
cost is properly chargeable to general taxation
and not to the mail service.
The same can be said Of the preferential rates
to publications of scientific, educational, agricu-
tural, and labor bodies not conducted for profit,
except that the cost of this service is not less
than S10000,000 year.
Again, special services such as registration, in
surance, and postal savings work cost the depart
ment $22,000000 year. The handling of treas
ury savings costs nearly a quarter of million a
year The mailing of government publications
costs S6,572,000 year The low rates on foreign
mail, brought into being by treaties, cause loss
of S5000000, and so it goes through a rather
long list If all of these departments paid their
own postage bills there would be less waste in
printing and much less shipping of bulky docu-
ments here and there to find their graves at last
in furnaces fed by waste baskets.-The Pilot

WELCOME TO OUR MIDST, SENATORS

Welcome senators. We only regret that
you could not bring them all along with you
to look over this vast strip of country SO un-
like the east that it is difficult to understand
our big problems unless one lives with them
for time. 1t takes big men, big ideas and
hig money TO develop big country. 1t may
be that our early training has been bit
crude, but senators, this has been he mans
country for good many years where it was
necessary to sneak out loud SO your neighbor
could hear-cIose neighbOrs were those with
in a radius of ten or twenty miles around
We fully realize that the loud speakers in
sunny southern California have us beat in
vocal culture, but our prayer is III you don't
want to help us, don't help the bear, and
vcun see the best -, - fight you
ever saw.
Welcome senator's. When you have looked
over the ground, you'll more fully realize
what we are fighting for

COOLIDGE HEARD AROUND THE WORLD

Newspapers the country over democratic, re-
publican and independent, have risen to acclaim
the speech of the president at Omaha 1t was an
extraordinary effort Without lifting his voice
above monotone the president uttered message
world. There was hardly branch of the public
service but what was able to read particular
warning to itself in what he said. There was no
citizen of any class of any group, but what found
in that message of encouragement. The New
York Times, the New York World, and other
newspapers of that character, felt obliged to give
it their full approval.

DEMAND 1T ANYHOW

Fred Golfer of "FIi-li canal fame asks the gov
elnment to spend s250yO00,000 on his project in
Arizona This shows conclusivey that Fred is no
cheap skate. There is no sense in our letting the
government attempt to cut down our taxes three
or four hundred million a year, when we could
use it out here in Arizona. The Sun is not going
to be outdone by any politician in the state in de-
manding federal funds
The Sun demands sole rights and jurisdiction
over the domain of Arizona for Arizonans The
Sun demands Immediately at the hands of con-
gress eight billion dollars to pay off the state in
debtedness and to make the Colorado river behave
as we may see fit under state regulations and ap-
pointees.
If we don't get it-and we know damwell we
won't, our constituents can't say we have not de-
manded it. If it does come through, our con-
stituents will realize what great influence we
have in Washington.

LOYALTY ATTACKED

If an American urges national preparedness he
is militaristic If he talks about dangers from any
other country he is "jingoist" If he is success
ful and aids prosperity he is an ''imperiaist' If
he depreciates socialism and communism he is a
'bacll number" If he loves home and family and
country, he is a "reactionary." These expressions
have all been coined to destroy the great attitude
of national loyalty and patriotism upon which
every sound government is founded, and the de
struction Of which attitude means the destruction
of all such sound governments.-New York Com

We regret to learn that the senatorial commit
tee had to split after viewing the Boulder dam
site and could not take the time to see the real
damsite at Glen Canyon. Of course a United

much physical grief, but we still have the feeling
that Californas aim was to wear the bunch out
before they really had a chance to see the real
thing at the head Of the great Colorado river. It
is out of the beaten paths, consequently hard TO
make popular. 1t is hard to get popularity for a
