HOW TO SAVE MONEY
WHEN SHOPPING
BY MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN

II
THIMBLE, THIMBLE, WHO'S
GOT THE THIMBLE

1t seems funny, doesn't it, that
thimbles We're ever made of leather,
and that they were first meant to be
worn on the thumb! Because If this,
they were called "thumb-bells"
After a time, however, some clever
person found that they could be used
more successfully on the middle finger,
and now it seems strange to US that
they should ever have been worn any
other way.
The tirst-and often the only thing
that aNwoman thinks about when she
goes to buy a thimble, is the size.
Now, the size is important, for the
comfort, and much of the speed with
which you are able to dispatch your
sewing, depends upon the size of the
thimble you wear. Always buy one
that is large enough to allow the end
OF the finger to strike the end of the
thimble. The size is indicated by a
number placed on the thimble. They
come in eleven sizes, Nos. 2 to -.
The sizes for children run from 2 to
5.
But the satisfaction and service that
you are going to get out of thimble
depends upon the material from which
It is made.
Where you want a good, strong,
heavy thimble, 1t is best TO get steel
one. 1t is a good idea to get one that
is plated inside with brass to prevent
rnsting. Steel and aluminium are the
lowest-priced thimbles.
Aluminium tllimbles are satisfactory,
but they are extremely light. For that
reason, though, they are especially
good for children.
Celluloid makes q good thimble, and
is expensive. They are somewhat
clumsy to handle, but fit neatly on the
finger.
The disadvantage Of silvered thim-
bles Is that they are very apt to tar
nish.
Nickle-plated thimbles and those of
German silver give satisfactory sery-
ice. Sterling silver thimbIes are ex-
treniely satisfactory, but these. of
course, cost more.
In buying inexpensive thimbles, al
ways examine Them carefully for any
rough places. Thimbles also become
rough from much wear, and should
then be discarded at once. or they will
catch and pull the threads In the ma
terial that you are sewing.
Do You know that there are finger
shields nlRie. to be worn on the first
finger of the left hand to protect it
from the prickings Of the needle?
These are made either of rubber or
celInloid, and are adjustable so as to
fit the size Of any finger.

SATURDAY GREAT DAY
FOR STILLS in YAYAPAI

Records in dry law enforcement
were smashed in the>Verde valley Sat
urday with the capture by Yavapai
county deputies and prohibition Off
GERS, of seven stills, one as large as
the largest ever taken in the county,
enormous quantities Of mash, and ten
men, charged with their possession or
operation.
The swoop of the fast-moving Off
GERS who hit Jerome and again on
Dry Creek, had been. planned careful
ly by Sheriff We'll, who was unable
to participate in the raid owing to his
duties as a witness in court which
held him until the afternoon, when he
went to Jerome and cleaned out the
stock Of eight previously captured
moonsline makers in the city jail
there.
In the Dry Greek raid, the officers
got six men with one 200 gallon still.
This is not only as large as the record
still taken in this county, but is the
largest quantity of alleged moon
sinners ever captured in single raid.
The still and men were found in a
large dugout.
Deputy Sheriffs Joe Young and
Johnny Munds with several federal
officers reported that they had come
upon the Dry Greek moonshine plant
with six men working at the still. It
was being prepared for a run of whis-
key.
There were 1900 gallons Of mash
destroyed. But strangely enough,
only two gallons of the finished prod
uet awaited the raiding officers.
Some of the men are known to the
officers by reason of previous alleged
activities.
John G. Crowley, deputy sheriff at
jerome and his men trapped Juan
Torres and two stills. He had 100
gallons Of mash and four gallons Of
mule.
L. Rodriguez was captured with a
STILL 80 gallons Of mash and a quart
of mule.
B. II. Duran had a $50 gallon still,
200 gallons of mash for it and six
gallons of the lickin's.
Tony Casanova, whose name occurs
in federal court records, was caught
with still, 200 gallons of mash and
u Quart of ticker.
And just to cap the climax, the
rangers who did the Dry Creek job,
hauled off and captured a 150-gallon
still far out on the desert with no
one about.

The funeral was held at Church of
Epiphany of which she was a valued
member, yesterday afternoon, Rev.
Edward L. Freeland reading the serv-

Mollie Keller, as she was affection

be sorely missed in many homes in

there are efol1ner Flagstaff people, for
her friends we're legion. A devoted
Wife and mother, a capable business
woman and an active worker in the
church, Woman's club, Eastern Star,
Business and Professional Woman s
club, and American Legion Auxiliary
her life touched many circles which
will sorely miss her busy, interesting
personality. She was always in the
vanguard Of women who strove for
the betterment Of the community
and for which she unsparingly gave
her strength and time to the last. Her
neighbors and friends sympathize
deeply with the bereaved family, the
members of which are noted for their
devoted and loyal attachment to one
another.
Mary Keller was born on a farm
near Beverly, Adams county, Illinois,
May 22, 1870. She was next to the
youngest of family Of eight chill
dren of whom all are living except a
brother, Tom Beasley When she was
but an infant her family moved to a
Kansas farm, where they lived until
She reached young womanhood.
In 1883 the mother and family
came to Flagstaff, the father having
passed away. They took up their resi-
dence in the house that is now the
home Of Miss Retta Beasley and her
brother, Arthur Beasley.
Thirty-three years ago the tenth of
next January deceased was married
to Charles A. Keller and they went to
The Coconino sun., 1925-12-18

housekeeping near where the Al San
ford residence now stands. Nearly %
years ago they moved to their present
home. Two grown children, Miss
Kathryn and Paul Keller, with their
father mourn her departure. One
sister, Miss Retta Beasley, and broth
er, Arthur Beasley, both of Flagstaff,
were here at the time of her death.
A younger sister, Mrs. George Harris,
and her husband arrived on Monday
from Aubrey, Calf. Another brother,
Frank Beasley of Phoenix, came up
on Thursday. There are two other
brothers, George Beasley of Oxnard,
Calf, and Harye c. Beasley of San
Francisco.

anybody would sign such letters.
Letters to people whom she knows
less well are signed, usually oy
a combination Of her maiden

name. That is, If Mary Jane

she usually drops her middle
name and uses the name Mary

for almost all signatures. For
all letters not to intimate friends
and for all letters to people who
do not need to be told her for
