A few days ago Wilbur Cow
les, who resides in the Skillet
Creek neighbofhood, had a strange
experience with his car. While
driving leisurely along near the IL
brary he found himself with the
steering wheel in his hand-apart
from the machine. All he could
do was to stop in the middle of the
street and while debating what
course to pursue a small boy shout
ed to him to put wheel on and run
slow. This he did and soon had
the car in garage. Had he been
running down hill on, a curve there
might have been a serious acct
dent. Mr. Cowles feels that for
once he was lucky and that small
boys advice was excellent.

There was a moving picture act
at the corner of Vine and Elm
streets a few days ago which fail
ed to be recorded by a camera.
This location is on the Warner
Memorial road where a car some
time ago ran over the walk at the
turn and struck q house, causing
more than. $50 in damages to the
house and to the car. In the last
case a car came down the street
from the east and the driver evil
IDENTIFY did not realize there was so
sharp a turn. AS he ran over the
tree-bank he saw the house star
ring him in the face, he gave a
quick turn, the machine took to.

another twist to the wheel and the
automobile climbed the steep bank
without turning over. While all
this was taking place former Lieu
tenant Governor E. T. Dithmar, his
children, Baraboo, and his father
in-law, A. A. Upham, Whitewater,
were approaching from the north.
They saw the whole performance
and expected an accident. IN
stead of seeing the car turn over
they saw it make the unusual de-
tour and pass the Baraboo machine
on the right side of the road The
whole comedy was enacted in Il
breath and the marvel is that no
one was injured by striking the
house, trees or tipping over

plauded and not followed. Mr..
Coolidge believes what he says.
That's Vermont.
With Mrs. Coolidge he came to
Chicago in the drawing room OF a
Pullman. A private car cost too
much. He issued orders for the
saving of soap, pins, towels, and
other office supplies. He decided
not to get a new suit of clothes
for Easter. He decided not to get
new straw hat, but to have
the Panama cleaned. That was
reasonable. It is why a man buys
a. Panama in the first place.
The thrift in the White House
seems to have made an impress
sion on the people. How much we
do not know. We did not believe
that any precept or example could
keep the American people from
spending money when they had
it for things they wanted. 1t is
their habit. 1t gets them what they
want and it seems to us that there
is a great deal to be said in favor
of a life having what you want
rather than a life of wanting what
you won't have. Some business men
say that Mr.. Coolidge has slowed
things down, that he has stopped
considerable spending Of money,
and that the old suit is on a good
many of his fellow citizens who
ordinarily would be sporting a new
one.
Thrift is virtue much admired
even by people who do not prac-
tice it. To preach against thrift
dould seem an enormity as preach
ching against honesty, virtue and
square dealing. But nations live
one different levels. Tie level of
the American nation is one of
spending. Our idea is to make mo-
ney and convert it into things
which make life enjoyable. People
ars busy making the things and
selling the things which other
people want. There is a quick turn
over of the pay check and that
turnover makes other pay checks.
The expenditures for automo-
biles, radio sets, clothes, furniture,
rugs, amusemerts, food, which isn't
needed to sustain life but is pleas
ant to the palate, all this keeps
people busy. If buying stopped,
the savings accounts might have
a sudden boost, but presently a
good many people would be need
ing their savings for sustenance.
When buying stopped production
would stop, and with it employment
would stop. TIE whole M ion is
cared up to this speed of spending.
1t gives the individual a rich life.
He gets his money because he is
contributing something to what
other people want. He is buying
from their contributions. The peO-
pie are working for each other,
and each has something and each
has something out of the great
production thus stimulated.
The saving Of money has a pro-
Itective purpose. Money itself is
only intended to be exchanged. 1t
converts a particular kind of work
into a great variety of articles.
1t has ceased to serve its purpose
whicr it is under the mattress or
in a sock. a man could be guar
anteed a daily wage for labor to
the hour Of his death he would not
need to save a cent. The more he
spent the better everybody would
be off. Thrift merely protects him
against the time when he cannot
work.
We live by spending, not by
saving. Great accommodations of
wealth give men power and it's
qualification, but the average man
getes his normal life out of what
he spends. 1t may be on his home,
in his amusements, to crafty his

STATE LOSES HEAVILY BY
FOREIGN LICENSE PLATES.

The question of the state of Ari-
zona losing needed revenue through
the operation of motor vehicles owned
by residents of. the state through use
of license plates issued by other
states, is becoming serious. People
closely in touch with the matter es-
innate that a million dollars revenue
has been lost in the past five years
through this practice.
The Automobile club of Arizona
has been checking up on motor We
hicles operated in this manner by
residents of Arizona and estimates
that between seven and ten per cent
of the motor vehicles operated in
Arizona are seeking to dodge proper
payment of tax. This is not fair to
the other operators of motor vehicles
who dig deep to support Arizona's
highway system and the legal ma
chinery of the state has been started
to correct the evil.
The Automobile club advises all
owners of motor vehicles now being
operated by the use of plates issued
by other states to come in out of the
rain before becoming real damp.

DIAMOND CREEK DAM
APPLICATION REFUSED

Washington, Oct. 2S.-All power
development on the Colorado river was
ordered temporarily suspended today
by the federal power commission,
pending an agreement among Colora-
do river basin states for division of
the rivers waters.
This action postpones the commits
ssion's decision on the application Of
James B. Girand, for a power project
on the river in Arizona. This order
of the commission met with the re-
quest of majority of the Colorado
river states. The commission urged
the states to reach speedy agree
ment on. the division of the rivers
waters, SO development could proceed
with all possible speed.
The commissioners carefully weigh
ed the arguments'in favor Of the pro-
ject, but it was considered that the
objections, coming from official
sources in all the interested states,
could not be ignored. The decision
was given on the recommendations of
O. c. Merrill, executive secretary of
the commission, who had procured
from the commissions legal division
an opinion as to the legal aspects of
the matter.
The application of Girand was en-
tered in 1913, before the creation of
the federal power commission, and it
was stated by his attorneys that a
body established after the compliance
with existing requirements by the ap-
pticants could not nullify the rights.
This, however, is undetermined, as
the commission today merely post
poned the granting of the permit un-
til certain desired conditions are
brought about. s.

WINSLOW BANK RECEIVER
REMOVED TO PHOENIX

Word was received in Holbrook
early tlAs week to the effect that J.
S. Dodson, receiver OF the defunct
Bank of Winslow since his appoint
ment last fall, had resigned the re-
ceivership, and the state banking de-
partment issued an order to remove
the offices from Winslow to Phoenix.
The office viii be closed after the af-
fairs are cleaned up this week.
The resignation of Mr.. Dodson does
not come as surprise, since he has
at different times mentioned such in
tentions during the summer and early
fall, having other business interests in
view to occupy his attention. How
ever, it is said that recent action
taken by the Babbitt Brothers in pro-
test to a receivership fee asked, may
have possibly precipitated the action
taken by Mr.. Dodson in resigning
from his post.
The removal OF the receivership Of
fices from Winslow is in line with the
governors recent proposal, in the
matter Of conservation, and as an
nounced through the press of this
county few weeks ago, it is re-
ported. The business of the defunct
Bank of Winslow will be conducted in
the offices of the State Banking de-
partment at Phoenix, and will re-
quire the services of a stenographer,
thus reducing the operating expenses
to minimum, which should be well
coined by the depositors.
The legal end Of the business will
be conducted by Attorneys Sapp &

matter of collections for the defunct
