GRADY CAMMAGE ORATOR
AT MEMORIAL SERVICES

Grady Gammage, vice president of
Flagstaff Teachers college, was the
principal speaker on the Memorial
day program at the Orpheum theater
Monday morning.
Mr.. Gammage voiced the spirit of
the occasion, when he said that the
observance of Memorial day is not to
perpetuate war spirit, but to keep
alive the heroism, courage and high
ideals of those who gave their lives
for their country. BY catching the
spirit of these heroic dead, he said,
we as a nation can better meet the
great problems that are facing us
today. Mr. Gammage stressed the
fact that ideals worth dying for are
worth living for, and it is up to the
coming generation to build on to rock
foundation laid down by our fore
a nation that stands for right.
The call to order by Howard Mar
inc, Spanish war veteran, was fol-
lowed by the invocation by Rev. H.
f. Softley. The audience joined in
singing america" accompanied by
the Orpheum orchestra. Other fea-
lures of the program were the read
ing of Lincoln's Gettysburg address,
by Captain J. B. Wright, Commander
of the local post American Legion;
song, "Hurrah for the Sons of Amer
ica," by st. Anthony's school pupils,
and reading by Miss Margaret
Matson of Flagstaff high school. The
program closed with the audience
singing "Star Spangled Banner If
ter which the Rev. E. L. Freeisnd
gave the benediction. Boy Scouts
were ushers and R. j. Prochnow was
marshal of the day Two veterans
of the Civil war-W. H. Peirce and
Ben Doney, were among those seated
on the stage during the services.
After the exercises soldiers Of the
Civil, Spanish-American and World
war marched to the cemetery where
they formed a hollow square about
the monument in the G. A. R. plot.
Rev. E. H. Softley read the ritual
and Captain Wright read the Sol
diers' Tribute. The floral offerings
were placed at the base of the mon
unent by Howard Marine, officer OF
tie day. The exercises closed with
the firing squad salute and taps by
the bugler. Those assembled sang
America" after which Rev. +. II.
Softley nronounced benedietion.

charged will freeze when the tenn

a battery is one half charged the

Don't add water to the battery

.M0TORIST TOLD
CARE TO GIVE
CAR in WINTER
Radiator and Battery Need
to Be Watched in Cold
Weather.

That the average motorist has a
great deal to learn about the care of
his car was demonstrated to a
greater extent than ever before by
the experience of the auto doctors.
Of the motor clubs In handling car
trouble during the cold spell which
recently swept over the country,
Todd Stoops. Secretary manager of
the Hoosier Motor Club declared to-
day.
Analysis of service rendered by
the club and other A. A. A. clubs
throughout the country developed
the fact that the average motorist
who comes to grief in cold weather,
usually does so because he fails to
take normal precautions in two i'm
portant factors governing the we'll
being of his car. These factors are:
The right kind of anti-freeze solu-
ton in the radiator and the main
tenance of sufficient charge in the
battery to prevent it from freezing.
'Most Of the trouble encountered
during this exceptionally cold spell
could have been obviated if car own
ers had kept their batteries charged

TOWN WITHOUT
TAXES BOAST
OF CALIFORNIA
GridIey Supports Itself on
Profits From Power
Plant.
BY Max Stern

GRIDLEY, Cal, April Here.
in the middle of the peach belt, is
little burg with a big idea.
In 1910 Gridley bought out a water
and power system from a private
estate. The little light and power
plant was down at the heel and the
town has had to buy Juice" whole
sale from the Pacific Gas and Elec-
trio Company, the northern Cali
fornia power octopus. But the
profits from distributing this cleo
tricity have proved so great that
Gridley has practically rebuilt the
plant besides making many impor-
tant improvements.
For nine years these profits en-
tirely supported the city's general
fund.
Up till the end of the war Gridley
was taxless city, probably the only
one in the United States. With rates
to consumers less than those
charged in surrounding cities the
water and power plant, chiefly the
latter, lifted the entire burden Of
supporting the city government
from the peoples shoulders. These
profits paid salaries Of city en-
ployes, supported the fire and police
departments, built sidewalks and
streets, lighted, sprinkled and main
tanned the town. In 1919 a small
tax was imposed to sink bonds for
park and library, and the power
plant was set to work at other
chores.
Today there stands next to the
little plant an attractive city hall.
1t cost 100000, and every cent has
been paid out of profits from water
and power. Inside is a new $10,500
fire engine and $1,000 worth Of hose
