HE WAS LOCATED

A well-known good fellow" of the
little Indiana community had died
suddenly, probably as he would have
wished his end to come, for he was
one of those impatient Of delay. He
was known as "good provider" for
his family, being big-hearted and
generous of everything but his So
ciety. The minister of the church
of which the wife was a member
came hurriedly to the house on
learning that Jim had dropped dead.
Mrs. JONES'" said the minister,
seeking for some helpful word, 'I
hardly know what to say to you in
the way of sympathetic utterance.
Everybody knew Jim's good traits"
'"Well, I am not without comfort
this evening"" replied the stricken
wife. "At least I know where Jim is
tonight"

THE POINT OF VIEW

The power of concentration
Is more important than great
riches.
If you have the ability to exclude
thoughts
OF everything except your immedi-
ate task,
Expelling petty annoyances and ills
Until the job is done,
And then proceed to attack another,
Pretty soon you will find your life
so filled
With the business of living fully
That you may at will
Drive your mental and physical
forces
To do your bidding.
All that was set forth. in one of
those
Intense "do-it-now" books
I've just been reading, and at the
end
I decided it is much better
To be frivolous and happy
Than to have so bad a case Of con-
centration
You'd have to be happy
In spite of yourself.
The best test of the individual
Is whether he is there" in a crisis.
Andbody can be gay and happy and
lightsome as a fairy
When everything about him is rum
ming as smooth
AS an oil stock salesman's tongue,
But the regular guy" is the one who
Being knocked down,
Arises to write a poem on the beau
ties
OF the stars he saw
When his head connected
With the pavement.

THE CURSE AND THE PRAYER

The sobbing wood and the sullen
rain,
The fail of the wind forlorn;
The shivering blast that long has
lain
Where gales of the North are born
Are the curse of earth
At it's sorrows birth.
The golden fields and the flowers of
spring,
The laugh of a care-free child,
The bells that ring and the birds
that sing
The songs Of woodland wild
Are its praiseful prayer
For the earth that's fair.
The modern girl also believes that
"save the surface and you save all"

THE CALM OF AGE

The earth is calm, as after showers,
And the seas breath is hushed.
The air is laden with the smell OF
flowers
And the lark's wing is brushed
By rain drops as it rises.
And after life, with all its heat
And its hard tasks, is done,
The mind takes to itself retreat
Nor all it's victories won,
Nor routs nor sad surprises.
Can rouse again nor impress make.
And it is we'll if he,
Quaf1ng the fount of knowledge
slake
Thirst for eternity,
Nor foregarner its prizes.
It's all right to put all your eggs
in one basket if they're bad eggs.

Half of Nations Electric Power
Now Used in Homes

Although the first incandescent
lamp was not marketed until about
1880, the annual sale of electric appli-

tional forms of water sport such as
rowboating and canoeing. However
rowboats and canoes are not always

Substitute for Binding Pole

Instead of carrying a cumbersome
binding pole when hauling hay or fod-
der, a Wisconsin farmer uses a cable
and windlass as a substitute. The
rope is provided with a hook at each
end and is securely attached, at its
center, to the winch. This is made
from a length of gas pipe and is
slipped through holes drilled in the
front ladder of the wagon, a locking
bar being also provided, as indicated,
to keep the crank from turning after
the rope has been drawn up tight. In

and this starts corrosion. This can
readily be prevented by coating the
copper and zinc with roofing cement
or acid-proof paint, before the metals
are joined. Of course, the connection
between the two metals cannot be
avoided entirely. Zinc should never
be used on a roof to be covered with
red cedar or redwood shingles, as acid
is formed when the shingles absorb
moisture and this will soon ruin the
metal.

ESTIMATED SURPLUS IN TREASURY.

Again the estimated budget surplus in the
United States treasury at the end of the fisca
year is mounting 1t is now thought that the sur
plus will be S12O,OOO,OO0 instead of $68, 100000
at first anticipated. 1t is believed also that
the income and profit taxes at the end of the fis.
cal year will be considerably in excess of the ST.
660,000,000 estimated.
The condition of the government finances is
extremely gratifying to the treasury department
and seems to make it certain that a reduction of
about $300,000,000 in taxes may safely be made
in the next congress. Returns under the new in
come tax rates have exceeded expectations.
The receipts from miscellaneous taxes have, ur
to this point in the fiscal year, dropped about
$60,000,000 below estimates, but this is not looked
upon serious because of the receipts in excess
of estimates obtained from other sources and the
fact that there is evidence to support the belief
that government expenditures will steadily be. de
creased as a result of the economy program which
has been put into effect.

SENATORIAL AND CONGRESSIONAL
COMMITTEES WELCOMED TO FLAG

Senators Ashurst and Cameron both expressed

appropriation to build an approach road from the
National Old Trails highway to Grand Canyon.
Neither spoke of the proposed route but were de-
IF it's being 80 per cent under government con-
.rol, should have generous federal aid in road
building through the public domain, parks and
rational forests. The people of the county feel
that consideration is due them. The congressional
oarty which Congressman Hayden is conducting
through this state, were here yesterday from
Grand Canyon tour of investigation of park
md public land conditions. Congressman Cram
on who heads this house committee has hereto
ore been very favorably inclined toward Coconinc
county. He with Congressman Hayden originated
he idea of securing an appropriation of sufficient
size to build an approach road and both still hope
hat some plan may be evolved that will bring
about the desired result.

FRITZ SCHUERMAN LOSES
THUMB WHILE ROPING

Fritz T. Schuerman met with very
painful as well as serious accident out
in Soldier Wash about two miles above
Sedona and northwest of that p ace
last Sunday. He and Joe Lay were
-out there and Fritz roped an animal.
There was considerable bucking
around and in the struggle it was seen
by Joe Lay he would have to help
Fritz. He threw his lariat, felled the
animal and tied it up and went to
undo the rope that Fritz had thrown
and released. He saw Fritz's thumb
in the knot of the rope. The entire
first joint was pulled off with five or
six inches of the leader that went up
the hand. Lay nearly tainted when
he saw the thumb and after consd-
cradle difficulty they managed to ride
into the ranger station at Sedona.
Jesse Bushnell, the ranger, happened
to be at home and he drove Fritz into
Jerome for medical attention. The
injury, Fritz said, did not give him
any particular trouble at first hut
about an hour after the accident the
pain was very great. He has to re-
main close to town for few. days un-
til he is over the worst of the ordeal.
He was fortunate to save part of the

SOMETHING oRTER BE DONE ABOUT 1T

We are willing to gradgeingy admit there isn't
place In the world more admirably situated for
a great big tourist hotel than is Flagstaff. On
several occasions we have unwittingIy suggested
that it could be made wonderful all-year- round
hunting, skating, skiing, fishing, roughing scenic
resort, where months could be spent in every form
of recreation the average individual the world
might seek to find. If our summer weather up
here in the mountains among the pines and trout
should get too cool, there are highways to any
special temperature the visitor may want within
few hours ride roads good or being made
good. But want it understood that we old
timers are easily embarrassed by strangers COM
ing in and endeavoring to share these advantages
and pleasures with us. We don't want our scenic
views all cluttered up with millionaires and tour
lists who seem to think they can come here and
spend their money in such way as to take away
our self respect Why just in the few recent
years lot of these movie concerns have COM
menced to come here-even without invitation
and are taking pictures around amongst us and
the other Indians.
A new tourist hotel here would only add to our
misereS. 1t would bring lot of fool people here
who would be willing to pay more for things than
we are used to, consequently make us old-timers
too anxious about howinel to charge them all they
willing to pay without our losing anything.
These pop-gun '49ers are making big mistake
in getting the people from all over the country to
come here during the fourth of July week.. They.
don't realize tnow but they will later when peo-
pie come and a whole lot of them will want to stay
here and send for their friends
It's shame the way people are trying to force
themselves In and take up residence in
Flagstaff They have made it almost impossible
for us old-timers to rent house without paying
rent in advance.
