CLEARING THE AIR

Radio dealers are making a con-
certed effort to tidy up the air 50
that fans can enjoy programs free
from interference from regenerative
sets. Many of the older sets create
disturbance unbeknown to their own
ers and the only way that set can
be given clearance is. by carrying out
thorough test with some qualified
operator. Many tests have lately
taken place and a free bill of health
given sets which their owners sus-
pected. Phone your dealer for test
and have a clear conscience.

sCRAPPY CRAZY

City Marshal j. r. Cooper arrested
a young six-foot Dane Tuesday morn
ing who had been making nuisance
of himself at Clarence Sullivan's and
Joe Blumberg's stores, and was on his
way with him to Jail when he hauled
off and handed Cooper one on the
temple. Cooper landed one in return
that kept the fellow quiet until he was
behind the bars, after which he start
ed a crazy monologue that didn't end
until night. Becoming more rational,
he told Cooper he came here from
New Mexico but couldn't remember
getting off the train here. Next
morning Cooper fed him and let him
leave for the west.

HOPI FINDS HE DOESN'T
HAVE TO PAY INCOME

That so called restricted Indians
living on reservations do not have to
pay federal income taxes on income
from sources within the reservations
has been decided by the department Of
the interior.
The decision was on the appeal Of
Tom Pavatea, full blooded Hopi, who
runs a small store and operates a
stage line for tourists in reservation
territory. He refused to pay the tax
and appealed to the bureau of Indian
affairs as guardian. The department
held that his income came from
sources on government property set
aside for the use of the Hopi tribe
and was not taxable.

ARIZONA STILL APPEALS TO
SAM JOHNSON'S FAMILY
Urbanette. Ark, Jan.


F. S. Breen, Flagstaff, Ariz.
Enclosed please find check for
SIS to keep the "Sun" shining in our
home for another year. Up to date
we have had an unusual amount OF
Arkansas sunshine this winter; which
perhaps accounts for US overlooking
the fact that our subscription to the
"Sun" had expired. We can't possibly
do without it; although we have been
here eleven years we can't bear TO
miss copy and want the Arizona
sun to shine in our home every week.
We note with interest the many in1-
provements being made at Flagstaff
and hope the coming year will bring
much prosperity to the city, the Co
conino Sun and all of our old time
friends there.
We saw the "CalI Of the Canyon"
last September and enjoyed it very
much although the film was about
worn out and part Of it was gone; we
saw a few familiar scenes of Flag
staff and surrounding country and
that was the reason we wanted to see
it. We drove ten miles to Berry
Vile O.. T.. Jones home town. to en-
joy that privilege.
1t is showing today and is the first
snow we have had this winter and
from present Indications undoubtedly
will be the deepest one in several
years.
With kindest regards to you and
yours and best wishes to all the old
friends, | am, sincerely,

FEDERAL PRISONERS
CAUGHT HERE, ESCAPE

Breaking out of the Yavapai coun-
ty jail on the third floor of the coun-
ty court house at Prescott, a feat
heretofore considered almost inpos.
sible, two federal prisoners. Carl Law
son, 22, and Donald Foreman, 20
made their escape soon after noon
Tuesday leaving Day Jailor Dan Gil
lis locked up in their place, and at
press time had not been recaptured.
The men, who were being held
pending their removal to Phoenix to
appear before the federal grand jury
on charges Of violating the Dyer act
and the Mann white slave act. effected
their escape from the tank in which
they were being held through a hoax,
ran the jail elevator to the second
floor of the court house, it is be-
lieved, and then walked out the cor
ridor and down the steps to freedom.
Both men had been confined in
tank one, which is closest to the Jail
corridor door and farthest away from
the windows. They complained all
day, the officers said, of vermin in
their cell and asked repeatedly for the
spray gun which is used to extermin-
ate insects in the Jail.
Suspecting that all was not well,
Jailor Gillis finally called one of the
TRUSTEES, Dewey Croxdale, to help
him take the gun to the tank, telling
Croxdale to watch the men and to
shut the door Of the tank should he
notice any untoward action, Gillis
said he unlocked the barred door and
started to hand in the spray gun. Be-
fore he had time to think or to act in
his own defense, he said, one of the
men GRABBED him around both hands
and dragged him into the cell. The
other jerked Croxdale off his feet
into the tank and then the pair rush
ed out, not forgetting to turn the key
to the tank.
The two federal prisoners, who
were arrested in a Flagstaff hotel
two weeks ago in company with two
young women, were to have been
taken to Phoenix by United States
Deputy Marshal Robert Born to ap-
pear before the grand jury. The
women still are held as material wit

The word news" Is made up of the
four letters that Indicate the main
points of the compass-N.. s.. e. and
w. In book published more than
century ago, the author comments
upon this In way that is by no means
out of date at the present time. He
says: .As news implies the intelli-
gence received from all parts of the
world, the very word itself points out
it's meaning-N, the north; e, the
east; w, the west, and 8, the south.
This expressive word also recon-
mends the practice Of the following
virtues: Nobleness In our thoughts,
Equity In our dealings, Wisdom in our
counsels, and Sobriety In our enjoy

king Tom Of the Timmanehs, and
began the settlement with 400 negroes

The hostility of the natives and the
complete shiftlessness of the black

Supply of Rum Once Essential to Sailors


sumably still is, one of the most
valued perquisites of the sailor and
marine. There was a daily allowance
of a gill of Jamaica rum for each
man. The ''grog" was composed of
two parts water to one of rum, and

midday meal. The man who declined
to drink his "grog'' was given money
allowance for 1t, and he drew this
with his months pay.
