THE COOLIDGE DECISION
 ON MEXICO

The decision of President Cool idge that the United States had no reason to interfere in the do- mestic affairs of Mexico was as an- ticipated. The President could scarcely come to any other con- clusion. Only in case Americans were menaced could this country legally make objection.
 It is a serious matter for one nation to make demands upon an- other in relation to domestic af- fairs. We would not tolerate any such interference from any other power, and merely because we happen to be larger and more powerful than Mexico does not change the underlying principle.
 In addition, no good could ac- crue from such attempted inter- ference. The moment the United States made a demand upon Mexi- co regarding its unwarranted re- ligious intolerance the entire popu- lation of Mexico, it is pointed out by diplomats, would be unit against such foreign interference; and the Gales regime especially would not in the least be inclined to agree to any rendered advice. Nothing but war could bring about the desired result; and the Ameri- can nation would think long time before entering upon an expensive war over a religious question.
 Religion in Mexico is not lost; the faithful are still faithful. and they are holding tight to their church regardless of what the re- gime in power may decree. The difficulties thrown into their way  will be overcome with faith.
 The Catholic Transcript, pub lished in Hartford and regarded as the mouthpiece of Catholic thought in this part of New England--and, in fact, one of the most important Catholic publications in the United States printed an outspoken editorial upon the Mexican situa. ton and the demand the President interfere there. The Transcript deprecated the language employed in the demand" and claimed that If the President had had any in- tpntions to use his good offices in behalf of the persecuted Christians in Mexico. he would be forced to desist and delay action in face of the request made upon him. The Transcript may be wrong and the K. of c. right; or the k. of c. wrong and the Transcript right. But whichever way right or wrong may lay. 1t is clear that the Amer ican government cannot tell Gales where to head in without running risk of serious trouble.
 The Transcript, however closed it's editorial with a strong para graph, the truth of which can scarcely be denied:
 The Knights of Columbus were speaking for themselves and not for the Catholic church of the United States. After their pro- nouncement, it will be exceedingly difficult even for the most malicious revilers of the American Hierarchy to claim. as they have been claim ing in season and out of season that the Knights of Columbus are the voice and trumpet of the bish- ops of the United States"
 This viewpoint is creditable 10 the Catholic church and to the Knights Of Columbus. The view has been altogether too current among critics of the latter organization that it represents the< church ex- clusively. The Transcript, an organ of the Catholic church. is at pains

Lady Stratheona was Mrs. Mar garet c. Howard, receiving her title on the death of her father in London in 1914. Her father Sir Donald Alexander Smith, later raised to the baronetcy, played a prominent part in Canada for many years during the last cen- tury, becoming q member of par liament in the Canadian house of commons and later being appointed high commissioner ill Great Brit ain for the dominion.
 In 1922 Lady Strathcona gave 100000 pounds to Sir James Mc- Grigor in an attempt to save the banking firm of Sir Charles R.. McGrigor which was forced to close it's doors. The London Press said that Lady Strathcona tried to save the bank in memory of the friendship of Sir James father for her own father when the latter was the Scottish emigrant to Canada where he made his immense for tune.

WE'RE ON THE UP ROAD
LET'S KEEP ON CLIMBING

All of Flagstaff is to be called up
on during the week of August % to
% in the interests of the local Cham
Der of Commerce in the firstt official
membership drive OF that organiZa-
ton. This campaign will be carried
on in similar manner to the recent
hotel drive, the campaign organiza-
tion to be composed of approximately
10 business and professional men ana
women Of this city who will call on
every individual not now member
of the chamber.
This campaign is in the hands of
the membership committee of the
chamber, headed by Frank r. Good
man, as general chairman and major
of the membership drive.
"We're going out after them," said
Mr. Goodman today. "and we feel
sure that when the intensive campaign
week has closed, that our Chamber OF
Commerce will have a hundred per
cent representation from the entire
city"
A meeting of the various captains
of the different divisions will be held
Monday afternoon at five o'clock to
line up the program. and q meeting
of the entire sales organization will
be held in the courthouse to distribute
cards, and get the organization ready
to go on the following Monday
Its for Flagstaff" is the keynote
OF the whole campaign and everyone
is asked to keep this in mind when
you are called upon by these live
wire members Of our civic organlza-
tion-the Chamber of Commerce.
At the present time the organiza-
tion is only partly complete, the line
up being as follows: Division A, Cap
tain r. M. Gassman, with George Ric-
kel, Cecil DeVaney and DR.. E. A. Mil
Ter so far as workers. Division B

eve are eating one-fourth pound
more beef per capita this year than
was consumed in 1924. We are talk
ing about false fluctuations of the
market, a false supply and demand.
Our association is aiming at controll-
ing the supply and demand so that
when the shipper sends his cattle 10
association buyers it will be when the
market is at it's best. We are not at
tempting to buck any economic laws
but are only assisting our members
to getting for their cattle what they
are worth. We have scouts scattered
throughout the states we operate in
to defend ourselves against false
fluctuations. We expect to have an
agent in Holbrook this fall 1t will
probably be S. o. Thompson Of Flag
staff, who is at present in northern
California assigned to what | term a
tough district. He is cutting out
beef cattle for the California markets
and is gaining great deal of valu-
able information for the Coconino
and other northern county shippers
who will sell their cattle to associa-
tion buyers in the fall. When Mr..
Thompson arrives we want you fell
lows to get together and appoint a
local committee to work with him."
Mr. Rice told Of signing up the cat
lemen last week in Navajo and Apa-
che counties. Thirty-five thousand
head were signed to be sold through
the association.
Arizona must help California sta
bilize her market if we are to receive
better prices" said Wayne Thorn
burg, prominent cattleman of Yava-
pai county, and chairman of the SEN
ate live stock committee.
The man who produces small
number of cattle is better off being
a member of the association than the
big fellow with thousands of cattle
because, Mr.. Thornburg pointed out.
The big fellow by virtue of having a
great many cattle has buyers come
to him, but it is the little fellow who
needs the buyers.
Herbert Babbitt of Flagstaff had
charge of the meeting. Many promi-
nent cattlemen of the state were in
attendance, among them Cecil Miller
of Phoenix, Haydee Lane of Jerome,
E. Il. Thurston of Mayer, c. j. Bah

LOCAL CATTLEMEN URGED
TO JOIN THE ASSOCIATION
MEETING HERE MONDAY

Last year we held our cattle and
let the non-members of the associa-

the non-members held the SACK" said
Hub Russell, president California
Cattlemen's Marketing association, to
a representative group of Arizona
cattlemen Monday afternoon at the
courthouse, Flagstaff.
The special meeting OF the associ-
alton was called at Flagstaff to have
officers of the association explain the
machinery of the organization to the
members in this section.
What we need is more control, y
Mr.. Russell pointed out "We need
more big operators of California to
come in with US to make our associ-
alton more effective. We need a
sinking fund to protect our interests.
There should be no skyrocketing
of prices for range cattle. Find out
what it cost to produce your cattle.
Your university will help you. Let
us know what profit you expect and
we will try and make you money.
Your basis of selling price, of course,
must be determined largely upon the
nearest competitive territory. You
should know what it is costing you
to produce. Get the facts, and cut
out this worrying about what your
profits are going to be the next year.
Instead of every man being for him
self, and he alone, we must get ev-
eryone into the association full
heartedly.

ness. 1t has been fighting the spec
ulator the past three years and not
until he is run out of business will
the cattlemen of the state come into
their own.
"The stockyards people are bucking
u.s. They with their millions of dol
lars of capital invested are our big
gest enemies. | would rather be
without dollar in my pocket than to
stOop so low as to tie with such out
fits. If we can't have men who are
on the square in this association, men
who run their outfits on q business
basis, | want to get out of the asso-
citation. We are not a profit-making
organization, we are not attempting
to pull any strings. We are selling
organization. ! am going TO stay
with this cooperative movement until
| die because | am convinced that it
is the biggest movement for the sta
bilizing of the cattle market that has
been presented in years"
"Eighty-five percent of the Arizona
cattle are now being shipped into
California" said H. NJ. Rice, secre-
tary Of the association. Arizona
also ships about 10000 calves to the
California markets each year. Con-
ditions are ideal in Arizona, cattle

the fall, and of Southern Arizona in

MRS. FRANK HARRISON
CANDIDATE FOR COUNTY
SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT

Mrs. Janette Harrison, wife OF our
efficient county attorney, Frank Har-
rison, is one Of the active candidates
for county superintendent Of schools,
subject to the democratic primaries.
Mr. Harrison is not candidate for
reelection and his and Mrs. Harrl-
sons many friends, knowing the
lady's many qualifications, have nm
allv secured her consent to herself
enter the lists.
Mrs. Harrison is too well known
in Flagstaff and all through the coun-
ty to need introduction in this ar
ticle. She has taken a live interest
in all civic movements of Importance
and has for years been one of the
active members in Flagstaff Woman
club.
Mrs. Harrison taught before she
was married After the family came
here IL years ago, and while her boys
were little, she attended Flagstaff
Normal school, with the idea main
ly of better fitting herself Tor over
seeing the education of her children
and also because she was naturally
interested in education and education
al methods, and wanted to get ln
close touch with teaching methods
here. She was graduated from the
Normal in 1918; but at intervals ever
since-even during the present sum
ner session-has taken work there To
keep thoroughly abreast with the laC-
est methods.
Mrs. Harrison has taught IN three
rural schools. She understands teacn-
ing and is in thorough sympathy with
children. She understands and sym
pathizes with the problems and dit
ficuIties that confront both teachers
and pupils in rural schools. Loving
children, she cannot help taking q
keen interest in their school work
She believes that a supervisor OF
teachers should also be able to teach
according to the most modern meth
DDS, and thus be able to be of assls-
tance in helping solve the problems
of the teachers in the course OF hel
regular visits to the schools IN hel
juridiction.
Mrs. Harrison believes that Arizona
teachers should in all cases be glver
preference in filling positions IN the
schools fthiS county.

WHERE ARE THEY?

Flagstaff Arizona.
Dear Sir:
[ am searching for my niece, Mrs.
Hattie McGhce. Less than a year
ago | was told that she and her fam
lily were living in Flagstaff and that
she and her husband were either
teaching in or attending the normal
school of that city. But we cannot
locate her now.
Can you tell me whether she has
ever lived in Flagstaff? Any infor-
nation that you can give me about
her or her husband, Joseph McGhee,
or her children, will be greatly appre-
ciated.
Yours truly,
MRS. MAY +. HUTCHlNS.
