NOT A NICE WAY TO
TREAT AN ABSENT ONE

Early last summer G. Jimmie, Chi
nese merchant in Verde Vista addition
to Mesa, departed for his native land
on a visit. He left his flourishing
store in the charge of countryman.
About month ago his proxy died.
Friends thereupon locked the estab-
lishment and delivered the keys to
Justice r. A. Kingsbury, to be held
until Jimmie might return.
Monday evening the lock was pried
off the door and the place was
thoroughly ransacked.
The thieves didn't take quite every
thing. Needing sacks to contain cam
ned goods and package stuff, they cut
open bags Of beans and emptied them
upon the floor
AS no inventory is available, there
is no means of knowing how much Of
a loss the absent Jimmie suffered.
Local officers are working on the
case but they have no clue to the
identity of the miscreants.-Mesa

He turned a spade full an | saw
A big fat fish worm-so did Pa.
He looked at it and then at me,
'Go get a can, my son." said he.
Ny Pa dug fast. SECT this one, son,
We can't afford to lose one.
Now fetch the fish lines, an we'll get,
Or Ma will have us working, yet"
1t didn't take no time at all
FOR US TO climb the garden wall;

To reach the pool down in the brook.
Pa baited up, and then threw in;

Gosh, it's dandy one," said Pa,
I'll bet this fish sure pleases Ma"
The sun was sinkin' in the west
When Pa looked scared, and said we'd

Would have a bone with him to chew.
But Ma, she acted nice as pie.

ARIZONA BOY SCOUT TREK
GETS NATIONAL NOTICE

The following is from the national
weekly bulletin of Boy Scout activities
published in New York. 1t is evidence
that Boy Scouts can help boost Ari-
zona
"A 400-mile gypsy trek put Arizona
lads, with flying eolors, high on the
list of good travellers. Thirty three
boys and ten adult leaders from Je-
rome, Clartdale and Clemenceau made
a remarkable 14-day trip to the Grand
Canyon. The tour had been carefully
planned months in advance, in CO.
operation with the national camping
department. Early in May the scout
master, in company with another
scout official, made a pioneer trip.
We kept log showing the miles
travelled and the time involved said
the latter. We arranged for camping
sites and for the purchase of food
supplies. We also investigated the
water supply The arrangements in
cluded medical examination of every
member of the party. Twenty-Five
miles an hour was the time set by the
camp staff for the motoring part Of
the trek.
The first night found camp pitched
on the municipal camping grounds at
Flagstaff, and by the next evening the
party was in camp quarter of mile
from the famous rim of the Grand
Canyon, in wooded spot turned over
to the party by national park officials.
A day of sightseeing followed, with
visits to the gorge, Bright Angel trail,
Hermit's Rest and the Hopi Indian
house. The following is from the
camp log:
The next morning we were up
good and early and started the freight
truck off ahead for Mormon lake. The
boys hiked the entire distance, 28
miles. Upon arrival we had lunch,
and then proceeded to make camp. We
located on the south end of the lake IN
a sheltered spot among the pines and
adjacent to a field that could be used
for baseball and other sports. We
turned in early for a real nights rest.
In the morning we proceeded to ar
range camp for a weeks stay. Our
kitchen was scoutlike and our cook,
having cooked for COW camps for
many years, was real outdoor chef.
We used the trench fire with iron bars
laid across the trench and all Of our
cooking was done in large Dutch
ovens and large kettles. Amy one who
has eaten food prepared in a Dutch
oven knows that it is a rare treat"

SAVE "OLD IRONSIDES"
FUND STARTED BY ELKS

President Coolidge has selected the
three topics for the 500word essay
contest dealing with the historic frig-
ate, II. S. S. Constitution, that is to be
conducted in connection with the Be-
nevolent and Protective Order of Elks'
school children's drive to save "Old
Ironsides." Commander Marion Ep-
pley. u. S. N. r., of Newport, r. l.,
vice president of the Navy league of
the United States, has donated 1862
gold, silver, and bronze medals for the
best essays in the elementary and high
schools and colleges.
In his letter to Curtis D. Wilbur,
secretary of the navy, President Cool
idge selected the following topics:
For colleges: "The contribution of
the u. S. S. Constitution to human
liberty and to national progress"
For high schools: why did the vic
tories of the U. S. S. Constitution
contribute so largely to orr success in
the War of 1922"
For elementary. schools '.Why will
the preservation of the U. S. S. Con-
stitution promote patriotism
s"The active service of old IRON
sides extending as it did over 50
years from 1898 to 1882 covers the
greater part of our history, and
study of her record will turn the
thoughts of our younger people to
many of the most important events in
the development of our nation" says
President Coolidge in his letter. i
therefore trust there will be wide
spread competition for the old Iron
sides medals, because an understand
ing of the fundamentals of our his
tory is most helpful to discharging
the duties of citizenship"
The secretary of the navy requested
the Navy league of the United States
to distribute and make awards of the
"Old Ironsides medals, but that or
ganization has requested the Eiks to
make the awards in the elementary
and high schools in the 400 lodge dis
tricts and present the medals at the
patriotic exercises to be staged in the
schools during "Old Ironsides Week"
October 1924, when the donations of
the children will be collected. The
Navy league win decide upon the col
legiate winners.j
Commander Hppley, who donated
the medals, was professor of electro

ca entered the World war. He i'm

gins. Mr.. Burris and Mr. Bolton acted
as umpires. Miles Poison started on
the mound for the Transportation,
letting in three runs in the first, two
in the second and six in the third,
when he was replaced by Conway who
let in only three more runs. At no
time was the Santa Fe victory in
danger. They outplayed their oppon-
ents in every position with the pos
sible exception of first base, which
was ably covered by Roy Goode. The
most spectacular play was by Higgins
Ia three base hit with the bases full,
letting in three runs. Sam Bracco
pitched a consistently good game, and
Joe Reed held up the catching end as
well, and with few errors, several
close plays and good team work all
the way through, the Santa Fe easily
won the much sought after cham
pionship.
Next Sunday a good game is prom
ised when the married men and sin
gle men meet. On first thought, the
single men would appear to have a
walkaway, but when Sam Bracco, Joe
Reed, f. Nelson end a few others of
the regular team are considered, the
singles will have to hurry to beat
them.

GOV. HUNT WELCOMES
PARDON TEST CASE

Tucson.-Gov. G. w. P. Hunt, at
Tucson to attend a meeting of the uni
versity regents, states that he will
welcome a court decision on the ques-
tion whether the board of pardons and
paroles may parole a convict short of
the minimum time of his court SEN
tence.
The case chosen as a test he con-
siders an unfortunate one, for the man
involved was paroled at the request
of a military service organization,
which has paid his transportation to a
government hospital, where he is be-
ing treated for serious illness. A case
with no extenuating circumstances
should have been found, the governor
believes.

TWO STALLIONS FIGHT
TO THEIR DEATH

Out at the Noel ranch last week,
two big stations met and fought to a
finish. One Of them was so badly in
jured that he had to be shot. Paul
Noel rode a horse in chase after
other horses and the animal he was
riding slipped and fell. One of Paul's
feet was badly injured when he fell
with the horse and he has since found
hobbling about on one foot a rather
unpleasant way of serving the Lord.
But, we are pleased to relate, his in
juries are not Of such a serious nature
that he will have to be shot as was
the horse. st. Johns Observer.
